important questions and policies Of this campaign The
quotations from official ponouucenlents
ON THE CONSTITUTION
COLONEL ROOSEVELT.

In his confession Of faith de-
livered before the Progressive
party convention in Chicago Col
onel Roosevelt had the following
to say regarding the Constitution:
But when q judicial decision in
wolves an Interpretation Of what
the people mean by the constitu-
tions which they have framed. and
laws passed by the people are NULL
fed because the courts say those
laws are contrary to the peoples
will as expressed In their Consti-
tuition. there must be reference to
the people Of the public effect Of
such decisions under forms secur-
ing full deliberation, to the end
that the people may rectify this
alleged defect in their Constitution
by a popular vote having all the
force of Constitutional amend
ment."

PENSIONS ON WAY
TO THOUSANDS OF
NEEDY VETERANS
Taft Today Signed Bill Ap-
propriating 100000
Now in Arrears.

In signing the $50 900 pension ap-
prporiation bill today President Taft
paved the way for the speedy allevia-
ton of the veterans and theF depend
ents, who have been practically without
Government aid for several weeks.
BY Tuesday at the latest the vast ma
jority of the 200, 900 pensioners will have
received their checks from the agencies
in Indianapolis, Knoxville, Louisville,
New York, Philadelphia, and Topeka.
These checks have been delayed since
the regular mailing date of August by
the failure OF Congress to pass the PEN
sion budget.
The Presidents signature had hardly
been dry on the paper this morning
when Commissioner Davenport, OF the
Pension Bureau notified the Treasury
Department that he desired to have the
various subtreasuries which the six
agencies in question draw their checks
upon, to be authorized to pay approx
imately 5000. 900 to satisfy the claims
notified by wire to act accordingly.
At the Pension Office in this city
the entire force of clerks were in a
whirl and all the 100000 chacks were
made out and ready for mailing in a
short tinS.
The bill signed by the President still
contains the provision placed therein
by the House which abolishinE the
pension agencies scattered throughout
ments from Washington. This means
that about $50 clerks will be forced to
move to this city or leave the Gov
ernment service.

Tremendous meetings are promised

The Taft people have given out most S I
edifying statement to indicate that the
President is gaining ground in the west:
II is one Of the most naive confessions

will do Is even money that Tart VIII

However, that sort of bets are not
taken verv often. People who slt down

Taft usually give 1t up, and betting, at
this stage Of the campaign. Is lighter
than in many years. me olo-tilners

Progressive Republicans In Congress

don't come out for the new party VII
declare for Roosevelt anyhow. on the
ground that he was honestly nominated

GIRL NEAR DEATH AS
RESULT OF JOY RIDE
Sight and Hearing Destroyed, and
Police Believe She Was
Drugged.

ANDERSON, Ind, Aug. 17.-With
her sight and hearing apparently de-
stroyed, Mary Hartley nineteen years
old. is today not expected to recover
from the effects of a Joy ride. Carl
East, a young married hardware deal
er, who was recently arrested on a
charge of attacking a young woman
in Indianapolis because she refused
to accompany him in his automobile,
has been arrested here charged with
being responsible for Miss Hartley's s
condition.
A charge OF homicide will be placed
against East II the young woman
dies, Superintendent Of Police Pritch-
ard declares. Police believe East is
mentally derapged. Physicians first
thought Miss Hartley was sufferin &
from alcoholism, but since she has
failed to revive, they now believe she
was drugged. She is delirious and
repeatedly cries: "Please don't strike
me-"

GOVERNOR WILSON.

Governor Wilson doubtless had
the Constitution and agitation for
change in mind when he gave voice
to the following in his speech Of
acceptance:
Plainly, 1t 10 a new age. The
tonic Of such q time is very ex-
hilarating. It requires self-re-
straint not to attempt too much,
and yet It would be cowardly TO
attempt too little. The path Of
duty soberly and bravely trod is
the way to service and distinction,
and many adventurous feet seek
to set out upon 1t.
There never was q time when
impatience and suspicion were
more keenly aroused by private
power selfshly employed; when
jealousy Of everything concealed
or touched with any purpose not
linked with general good, or in
consistent with it, more sharply or
Immediately displayed itself"

Camp Ordway Proves
Bureau of Matrimony
To District Militia

There Is no doubt in the minds Of the
officers of the District National Guard
now as to why the Harpers Ferry camp
ing ground IL so POPULAR with the WASH
ington citizen soldiery. More than
twenty men in camp this year came
here in 1907 wearing the uniforms of the
District militiamen over bachelors
heart, and each was happily married
before the end of the first year to a
Harpers Ferry girl.
Twenty couples today are going over
the same ground they traversed Ave
years ago with the women now their
wives, and are trying to live again those
days which necessarily are so filled with
sentiment for them.
Twenty Couples Found.
One of the first militiamen to sue
cumb to Cupid's darts, and to surrender
to q Harpers Ferry girl at the expira-
ton of the 1907 maneuvers, was First
Sergt. Samuel Smith. of Company A,
First Infantry. Mrs. Smith, having
with her curley-headed, blue-eyed
three-year-old baby girl. came up from from
She She incidentaliy let fail the remark
the day since she, frst met her husband,
and it was on this very camping
ground. Some onet heard the remark
and remembered that some other militia
man had met the girl he afterwards
married here. Pretty soon, an inven.
tory of the camp was made. At least
twenty couples. It is estimated, attri-
butte their married blessedness to their
connection with. the guard that year.
The visitors to camp on Sunday will
be permitted to spend the entire day
with the militiamen, except for an houl
during the afternoon during the dress
parade of the brigade. OF course, there
are twenty-four guardsmen and an Of
ficer or two who win be on guard duty
during the day and evening, and these
will not be allowed to receive company
The remaining 1873 officers and mer
will be given unlimited liberties.

playhouse might be mentioned the pro-
gram pockets in the side of each seat,
and the sman neating and ventilatii-g
tubes directly under every seat In the
house. The heating and ventilating Is
as near perfection as science has been
able to bring these difficult problems.
At almost every point an architectural
novelty confronts the spectator. For
Instance, to gain the balcony from the
floor level is only a few steps. Even
to travel to the second balcony is not
hard climb. The reason for this Is
that the stage and orchestra are below
the level OF the street,
The lobby. finished in African marble
Of warm orange color, is probabl
already familiar to most devotees OF
Chase's. On one side is the box office,
is a battery Of telephone booths, long
desired by theatergoers. The ceiling is
heavily wrought in gold and blue. and a
frieze OF mosaic runs along the walls,
telling a consecutive story relating to
Momus.
Pretentious Portal.
The vista of the lobby ends in the
marble staircase, which leads to the
balconies and the boxes. 1t is fitting
portal to the new playhouse.
All is now in readiness. When the
steel curtain goes up at Mondays mat.
inee. washington's latest wonder will
be before the public.
The Chase management has always
prided itself upon the excellency of it'
music, and under the order OF the new
house the orchestra has been Increased

Washington Public VIII Be
Allowed Back Stage"

The new Chase's Theater Is going
to shatter at least one theatrical
tradition.
Hitherto the stage and its mys.
teries have been deemed sacred.
The public has been as abso-
lutely barred as from q Presi-
Dental Cabinet session.
But Chase's will invite the public
''back stage" daily from 8 q. m.
to I p. m. Il Is such an excel
lent example Of modern stage
craft that II will be one Of the

 MT. Kennedy was born in the town of Plainfeld, March 24, 1S44. His ed- ucation was secured in the schools of that town, in different parts of which he lived for years, including Moosup and Central Village, before coming to Danielson about 19 years age. By
 trade MT. Kennedy was a carpenter
 but during the greater part of his residence in Danielson ke had been engaged in the coal and wood business
 with a yard at the corner of Cottage
 and Furnace streets. About 1900, Mir Kennedy, in company with Charles E Woods, under the firm name of Wood is & Kennedy, took over this business Mir Kennedy becoming the sole pre- prielor in 1904.
 Mir. Kennedy was a men1oer of th' Danielson Methodist church and 8 member of it's board of stewards.
