Senator Townsend Endorses p es.

In his address at the Republican Club
banquet in Adrian, Senator Chas. E
Townsend said:
Theodore Roosevelt pointed the way;
William H Taft has travelled the road. -
Two classes of men are opposing the
denomination and re election of Mr.
Taft.
First, the great malefactors of
wealth" he declared, "they insist that
the President 10 unsafe and that legiti-
mate business is threatened. I submit,
no honest business man in this country,
big or little, has any fear Of law. Only
offenders who know they have violated
the law, are now crying out against the
Presidents policy Of enforcing the
statutes.
There is another class of men op.
posing the President, and they have
opposed every act, either directly or
indirectly, which he has proposed.
They are men who make profession
of reform and insist nothing is genuine
that does not have their name blown in
the bottle"
"a second term for its presidents has
always been the rule for the Republi-
can party, except in two cases-Presi-
dent Hayes and President Roosevelt.
Neither desired a denomination, he
said
II submit, however, that as a party
principle the precedent of renominating
man who has given good admins
tration is wise one. Four years is too
short time for president to accom-
plish the things he ought to do. The
failure to renominate a man who is
willing to stand for re election means
reputation of his administration and
is equivalent to condemnation of the
party responsible for that administra-
ton.

Doom Of the Cuckoo Clock.

What is to become of the cuckoo
clock is a question now In France,
where the twenty-four hour clock has
been adopted In the railway service

the bells? Are they to strike along
In the twenties in the morning, WHEEL
the traveller will most enjoy his forty
winks OF sleep, the very cream Of SUM
Der? 1t is feared by Swiss clockmakers
that the innovation will mea death to
the cuckoo. docs any n suppose"
inquiries an anxious Swiss. that this
bird, so long a feature Of the coy
chamber Of the inn, will be allowed to
launch twenty-one, twenty-five or
twenty-three consecutive cuckoo calls?
Surely the traveller will not suffer such
a thing. He will hurl not anathemas
alone, but his boots, at the offender.
and the cuckoo clock Will be a thing Of

verse, which says, "And the city lieth
four square and the length is as
large as the breadth and he meas
ured the city with the reed, twelve
thousand furlongs. The length and

HARRY ROBEDEE
STOPS SUICIDE
From Lsaping From New
York Fsrryboat Saturday,

Harry Robedee, of $40 Bayway
street, Raritan Bay Park, T~ottenville,
the rack pitcher of the Tottenville
A. c. during the past season., pre-
vented a man from jumping over
board into New York bay from the
municipal ferryboat Bronx on the
way from st. George to Manhattan
Saturday morning. The mar was
Henry Gould, fifty-two years old, a
florist at 23 Beach street, Stapleton.
Robedee with several other passen-
gers were on the stern of the ferry
BOAT when the man suddenly threw
off his coat and made for the rail.
He was half way over when Robedee,
who is an athlete, seized him. Mem
bers of the crew and other passen-
gers went to Robedee's assistance.
The would-be suicide fought them
and they had difficulty getting him
back on deck. 1.-The Almighty told
me to jump" he cried. You needn't
be afraid; 1 would come up if 1
jumped"
Gould was guarded in the mems
cabin until the boat landed in Man
haitian. Patrolman Joseph C~alcater-
ra, Of the Greenwich street station,
was called and the man turned over
to him. Calcaterra, to see if his
prisoner really intended jumping in
to the water, pretended not to notice
him for a moment. The opportunity
was taken advantage of by Gould,
who darted for the rail again. Cal
caterra seized him before he got
there. He was taken to Bellevue
hospital, where he was declared to be
insane by DR.. Livingston. Gould's
wife died six months ago and it is
said he has been depressed ever
since.
