All of the negroes heard one shot

fired it or anything else except that it
came from the south portion of the

fight, said every negro, and the
craps game which was in progress was
devoid of argument There was little

the negroes. except as TO their method

Taft,s N,oninatIon .

. -. n f
The record OF the Republican
party is one of great achievement
and. progress. National reforma.
tiohs marksd;its beginning and It has
adjusted Gsslf to, every new or ex-
lsting condition since that time !.
Hence. there is no occasion or just
demand for a new party composed
of men who have been identified
with the Republican party and held
|lilgB DfIcesas afresllt Of thai sparty !.
In view Eof the faet@9thaf the RE
publican party measures up fully
to the current conditions in america
and can be depended upon to meet
every condition in safe and sane
way, 1t is we'll that the party in ma
tional convention at Chicago tri-
umphed so completely over a move
ment to use the party as an instru-
ment to foist upon the country prin-
ciples pronounced by Republican and
Democrat alike as destructive of free
government. The outcome Of the
bitter struggles is REORGANIZATION
Of William II. Taft and elimination
Of Theodore Roosevelt from the Re
publican party. 1t means more. In
truth the convention marked the po-
litical death Of Roosevelt.
President Taft's recollection in
November will mean much to the
country and prove most beneficial
to IT.. But the one great triumph
for free America was that achieved
at Chicago when the great; de-
structive blow came to radicalism OF
the most dangerous type, cham
pioped by. Roosevelt, a 4demagoguei
whose ability, prominence, and per-
sonality made him an actual men,
ace too the nations present form Of
government. when the blow waf
struck Roosevelt lost prestige and
power and as the head OF "a new
party he will be an entirely Different
man from what ne Tas in the Re,
publican party. He will be far less
commanding and have far less In
fluence. las standard bearer, he
| will have to create followers in
stead of having long established
and successful party back of him
He will fafl.
AS an exchange says true progress
as represented by William Howard
Taft, will continue its march under
the banner of sanity The temporary
madness that has swept oyer certain
sections Will soon give way to7sobel
second thought and there will be Q
general feeling OF relief that the ma
Etion is not to embark on a career
that would, lead we know not where.

Crisis is Overcome.

AS President Taft says the Re-
publican national convention settled
issues even more important than
will be settled by he5uSovember cleo
Ition. What the president says is
so sound that it covers completely,
although his statement is concise,
the very vital questions that Repub-
leans and Democrats alike in Con-
gress as we'll as many Of the leading
thinkers and patriots have been
busily studying and fighting against
the last several months. President
Taft says:
"a national convention of one Of
the great parties IS ordinarily i'm
portant, only as a preliminary to. a
national campaign for the election
of 4 president The chicago con-
vention, Just ended, IS much more
than this, and Is in itself,the end Q.

ernor Baldwin Has Re-
appointed Him

board of Pharmacy Commissioners.
The appointment is for three years,
1t is the fourth appointment of the

serving longer on the board than any
other commissioner.

pointment was made on the recon-
mendation of the Connecticut Phar-
maceutical association, of which he is
secretary and treasurer. The associa-
ton, in keeping with custom, sent in
year, and Governor Baldwin, recog-
nizing the efficiency of Mr.. Leverty
on this board honored him.
Mr.. .Leverty has taken a keen in
terest in legislation affecting drug
stores, and is one of the most potent
forces for reform legislation in the
drug business that the state has
known.
His reappointment is we'll merit
ed tribute to his worth and 1t will be
received with undeniable pleasure by
the rank and file of the association
whose best interests Mr.. Leverty has
ever kept in view.

piece of property in Bulls Head lying

erty, had negotiated for the sale of
the property to the Lynch Bros. for
$4,000, and during the half hour that
the Lynch Bros. were preparing to
make a $500 deposit to bind the bar
gain. the Logan Bros. stepped in and
closed a deal with Way The final
arrangements were made today.
The property comes to a point at
the junction of Main street and North
Washin gton avenue, and widens to so
feet at the northern boundary. It has
a frontage of 225 feet in Main street
and 220 feet in North Washington
