Fooled a Lawyer.

A story is going the rounds of how
one of Suffolk county's lawyers was
fooled by client. A tramp, arraign-
ed for vagrancy, was under suspicion
of having taken the watch of an eld-
erly gentleman who was eager to ap-
pear against him. The lawyer took
pity on the unfortunate pedestrian,
and convinced that he was not guilty,
took the stand in his behalf and
pleaded for him so strongly that the
Judge discharged him.
Stepping from the dock the freed
man followed the lawyer to the cor
ridor, and in a secluded spot ap-
preached him to express his gratitude.
He said: "Honored sir, Pm sorry |
amt got no money to give you, but |
feel highly grateful and wish to repay
YOU" Fumbling among the folds of
his tattered garments he produced a
shiny object, and placing it in the
lawyers hand, said: ''Here, take
the watch. boston Traveller.

Goose Tells of Pole Find.

Sacramento, CAL, June 17.-"North
Pole, July 1, 1906, Maj. Andree, "
was the message which was tagged
to the food of southbound goose
captured by a Northern California
farmer, July "a, 1906, message
from the dead telling of the first sue
sessful conquest of the frozen North,
written by the Inflated polar expedi-
ton which left Danes Island, north
west of Spitzbergin, in the balloon
Corner, July II 1897.
For fifteen years the civilized world
has waited in vain for news of the
Andree party. On the morning of
July "a, 1906, a huge goose, unlike
any species ever seen in California,
fell exhausted into the chicken yard
of H.. NJ Thomas, a farmer residing
near Montague, Siskiyou county.
Thomas discovered small, nickel
ed tag attached to one of its legs, tied
securely by a strand Of copper wire.
Roughly but legibly chiseled into the
face of the tag was the announcement
of the poles discovery, July 1, 1896.
For nearly six years Thomas kept the
secret to himself. Wheather because
ee doubted if the tale would be re-
ceived with credence by the outside
world, or with passive indifference
as to his discovery, Thomas did not
divulge his find.
He did however, capture the goose
and discover the tag Both are still
in existence. The bird remains on
the little farm, which has passed into
other hands, and the tag is still in the
possession of Thomas, who has re-
moved to San Mateo County.

Talk is Cheap.

owe think it high time for certain
classes of Republicans of Missouri
and Kansas and some other states to
open their eyes to the superlative alb
surdity of trying to turn over the
government of the United States to
an Unbalanced egotist-Sometimes
drunk, sometimes crazy, always err
ratio, lawless, selfish and unsafe
and his motely following of extremely
respectable but wholly unsophisticat-
ed people, amateur politicians, politi-
cal acrobats, political highwaymen
and professional hell-raisers general
ly. This is what has been attempted
in the past year or two, the attempt
having just fizzled out like a sick
frecracKer in the great convention at
Chicago-much to the joy of all level
headed people.
"We think it high time for these
deluded Republicans to open their
eyes to the fact that the mere loud
claim to be progressive does not
prove progressiveness; that talk is
cheap; that it is not sufficient proof of
honesty to call another man a thief;
that it is not sufficient proof of truth
fulness to call another man a liar;
that is not a sufficient proof Of states
manship to subscribe to all of the
fantastic inventions of the day; that
the founders and builders of this ma
ton and these states can not be
thrust aside as crooks and ignoramus-
es; that the dominant political truths
were known to the world long ages
ago; and that gall and audacity never
were and never will be satisfactory
substitutes for wisdom and conscien-
tiousness. Kansas City Jourdal.

IN PLATFORM PLANS.
Gradual Reduction of Imposts to

Revenue Basis Will be Advocated.
Baltimore, Md, June 23.-Tariff
will be the paramount plank i'll the
platform which the Democratic Ma
tional Convention will adopt. There
were informal conferences among the
leaders today, and while the platform
was not whipped into shape for full
consideration, number of ideas were
considered.
The following is summary of the
main features which the progressives
will suggest, and which the conserva-
tive leaders may accept.
Tariff. -Reaffirmation of the de-
claration the tariff should be gradually
reduced to revenue basis, along the
lines of the Denver platform. Material
reductions in the duties on the neces-
saries of life, especially on each article
competing with American manufac-
turers, as are sold abroad more
cheaply than at home, and gradual
reductions in such other schedules,
as may be necessary to restore the
tariff to Il revenue basis.
Currency.-A declaration emphati-
cally opposing the central bank pro-
vision Of the so-called Aldrich Nation
al Monetery Commission plan, but
not opposing certain features of that
plan.
Trusts.-Declaration that Congress
should enact such supplementary or
amendatory legislation as will make
the so-called Sherman antitrust law
more effective. Insistence OH the
vigorous enforcement of the law on
the big and small offenders alike.
"Money Trust. Endorsement of
the action of the National House of
Representatives in entering on thor
ough investigation of the so-called
money trust and in passing the Pujo
bill to give greater visitorial powers
over national banks. Insistence on
the enactment of the Pujo bill at this
session Of Congress.
Direct Elections. endorsement of
the action of Congress in passing a
joint resolution providing for the di-
rect election of United States Sena-
tors by the people.
Injunctions. Endorsement of the
bill passed by the
House of Representatives.
Jury Trial.-Declaration for legis-
lation to provide for jury trial in all
cases where there is a direct con-
tempt of court.

ONE BALLOT ENOUGH FOR
STEAM ROLLER TO NAME
CANDIDATES.
Taft and Sherman RenOminated-B0l
ers' Convention Names Roosevelt.

! VTS NOuN eNtIOu NAMES NuUSeN eli.
Chicago, ILL.,, June %. The "steam
roller tonight, at 9:25, finished its
allotted task of annihilating Roosevelt
on the first ballot and turning over to
to Taft the nomination Roosevelt
charges was won with stolen votes. "
The balloting began at $40 p. m.
and the roll of states, territory and
insular possessions was completed at
9:25 p. N.
The balloting stood: Taft, SOL;
Roosevelt, l07; LaFollotte, II; Cum
Minis, II; Hughes 2.
Present and not voting for the
presidential nomination We're 344
Roosevelt delegates. The roll call
showed six delegates and their alter
mates absent

Sherman was renominated as Taft's
running mate on the first ballot. The
balloting on the vice-presidential NOM
nation follows: Sherman, 597; b.
rah, 81; Hadley IA; Merriam, %.
Present and not voting on the vice
presidential nomination were $50 del
egates, while II were recorded as alb
sent. The balloting lasted half an
hour.
About as much cheering followed
the announcement of the result as
usually follows the losing of a game
by the Cardinals.
While the official announcement of
the result was being made, an inebri-
ated individual arose in the gallery.
Who is led like a lamb to the
Slaughter" he shouted.
Taft" answered score amid
laughter.
President Taft's margin on the re-
nomination was 81 votes. Roosevelt
charged Taft with having counte-
nanced the theft of seventy-eight del
egates and had Gov. Hadley, Roose-
velt's floor leader, won the fight to
strike them from the convention roll,
President Taft would have fallen
short of the nomination by 81 votes. !
The hour and twenty minutes of
balloting was fraught with many anx-
ious moments for the Taft forces and |
called into play summary and arbi-
trary action by Chairman Root.
He ruled that when delegates We're
present, but declined to vote, their
alternates might answer for them.

taken of the Massachusetts, delegation,
