POOR MR.. TAFT.

The people have come To hate MIR.
Taft. They hate him. not for him
self alone. but for the class the
tendency, which he represents. Yet
hate Is not Mr.. Taft's due. he is,
rather, to he pitied. He has done
nothing wrong. he has merely acted
according TO the standards and prin-
eiplcs of yesterday. a yesterday so
recent that easy going men OF his
type have not yet perceived its pass
ing. That he should he 80 blind TO
the signs Of the times and the lessons
Of the past is a misfortune. not n
crime. Really. after all, the people
are responsible for the evils Of the
political system they are about TO
slough off. They are beginning to
realize that fact, and. realizing II.
they hate the creatures of their
negligence.
Nothing Is more conservative than
public thought. Society IL bound To
habit: habit liz the basis OF our lives
and we cling to 1t for fear Of things
we know not of. Precedent and ira
dition are the only guides society
possesses To keep itself from plung-
Ing into the chaos of the unknown.
And so have we chung to the insti-
tniions and traditions of our fathers
until long after they had become
husks of their former greatness and
hollow mockerics of the liberties they
We're designed to preserve,

BLAMING THE MOVIES.

Back east producers Of musical
comedies are blaming the moving
picture houses for the lack of interest
In the "sirly -glrly" shows. They say
that the public would rather watch
motion pictures than twinkling toes,
Perhaps. they are right, but II would
prove an interesting experiment to
introduce into some musical show Il
little real music and a certain amount
of histrlonic worth. The songs of the
music shows Of the day are not up TO
the standard Of ten years ago. while

CLEWS AND CROPS.

/ Wealth for the United States In
promised In the crops that are soon
to be harvested. Henry Clews. New
York financier, summarizes the tit
uation as follows.
The United States seems to have
taken In Mother Nature as special
partner, and once more the country
promises to be favored with good
harvcsts. II present calculations are
realized we shall garner a 700,000.O00
bushcl wheat crop. n 2.9O0.OOO.0OO
bushel corn crop and n 1.200.00O.00O
bushel oats crop. The yield of po-
tatocs and hay IL also likely to be
considerably ahead of last year. The
total value of these five crops is es-
tlmatcd at .6OO.OOo.000, or about
5000, 900, 900 ahead of last year. In
all probability the aggregate OF all
agricultural wealth produced this year
Will be about $4,000, 900, 900. as against
IS, 500. 10000 the figures of the de-
partmcnt of agriculture last year.
What this annual production of new
wealth means To this country may be
estimated when II In remembered that
the capital stock of all the railroads
In the United states liz placed at
sS.470. 100000 An increase of $780,
900, 900 In agricultural products In
single year cannot but be a powerful
stimulus to business.
Bankers In all portions Of the west
are agreed that the crop situation Is
satisfactory. that business liz In more
promising condition than for several
years past and that the business men
of the interior have decided to elimi-
nate politics from their calculations.
This liz "A practical expression of In
creased confidence based upon posi-
lively improved intrinsic conditions.

NEW TELEPHONE
Line Around McQuady- Covers
Eight Miles OF Territory And
Connected WithLong Distance.
Started With No Capital.

A local telephone company was
started at Me- uady three months<dgo
with thirty-six subscribers and row
has seventy-five on the list. The line
covers eight miles of territory and is
connected with the long distance home
telephone. n. L. Brickey is operator.
The remarkable feature of this new
company is that it was started with no
capital and it is the only one in the
county that has such a record. Person
al work is what brought the company
into existence, persons furnishing their
own boxes, giving their labor and ma
terial to build the line. Each subscrib-
err gets the service for 81 year.
The officers of the company are: j.
M, O'Bren, president, Forrest Lyons,
treasurer, and Father Knue, secretary.
With the officers doing their work eftic-
iently and each subscriber doing his
part, the company will prosper anc
grow and be great convenience t.
the people of the McQuady commun-
ity.

PRESIDENT HENDERSON
Writes Of Appreciation OF The
Press--Wants One thousand
New Sunday School Scholars
In Breckenridge BY January.

Webster, June 20-Dear Mr. Bah
bage: We want to thank you Mr.. Ed
itor for your very good and full report
of our convention and the nice things
said. We are glad you were with us
and enjoyed the day. We are very
thankful that we have county papers
that are interested in Sunday School
work and give quite little of their
space to programs and the various
meetings. 1t is the general opinion
that it was great convention and the
worker who failed to attend missed a
great feast. We were very sorry to on
ly have two pastors with us, 1t does
seem to me that pastors ought to be so
interested in a work from which they
draw at least three fourths of their re-
cruits for the church that they wotld
make a great effort to attend all these
conventions, the object of which Is to
instruct, encourage and enthuse the
workers.
One of the first things that help to
make a convention a success Is the
hearty cooperation Of all the people
of the community in which it is held.
/ can truly say we had that at Web
ster, the fact is there is no better peo-
pie anywhere, but did not start out
10 say this. We did our best to make
the convention success and in large

Mr.. Taft was nominated on the
first ballot at $3.50 Saturday night,
receiving sci votes, or 81 more than
a majority of the votes in the con-
vention.
Mr.. Sherman was the only man
placed in nomination for second
place. and he received SGT votes. The
rest were scattering or not cast.
Flattened out completely by what
his advocates denominated the steam
roller, Col Theodore Roosevelt's
candidacy was abandoned by that
gentleman himself, and a few hours
before the balloting on nominations
began he sent to the convention hall
a request that his delegates should
refrain from voting on any other
questions whatever. This request
was obeyed by 344 delegates, who
responded present but not voting. y
OF the others, 107 cast their votes
! for Roosevelt because they felt
bound to follow the instructions OF
their constituents.
