TAFT va. ROOSEVELT.

The contest for the Republican
nomination for the Presidency is be
ing waged with great bitterness, b.
tween President Taft and Ex-Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and is the subject OF
much comment by the papers Of the
country III has personality about
1t, that ia much to be regretted. 1t
does look like an unseemly thing that
two men, prominent men, one the
President and the other an Ex-Presi-
dent of the United States, men who
have been close friends in the past,
should d. 10 alienated and - bitter,
that in every speech each one OF them
makes, something is said to person
ally disparage the other.
MIR. Taft and MIR. Roosevelt are men
OF totally different temperaments. fhe
former is an amiable, conservative
and well-intentioned man, Of distinct
lively judicial mind, and man who
has high respect for the constitution
and the laws of the country. In
many Of his political beliefs, We are
at total variance with him, but we
have great respect for his convictat rs,
because We believe IT, is sincere, and
is withal gentleman.
Mr. Roosevelt is a man OF distin-
guished intellectual ability, and Of
high impulsive spirit. IT. is very in-
tolerant 'of the opinions or those who
differ from him, and rather prides
himself in going rough-shod over
them. we do not think 1t troubles
Mr.. Roosevelt's feelings any more to
say that a man is liar, than to say
that another man is a saint. He just
says 1t and goes on. and great many
people call that bravery, courage.
when the fact 'is, 1t il nothing more
than extremely bad manners. But
there ID another and more important
respect in which Mr.. Taft and MIR.
Roosevelt differ. And that is their
respect for the law. The former
holds sacred the written constitution
of the country and believes it should
b. obeyed to the letter, and likewise
all laws made In pursuance OF 1t.
The latter chafes under such res
traints and goes over them when they
come in his way. The Judiciary is
one OF the subjects of his criticism,
and in such way as to shock those
who have been taught to- believe that
this department of our system OF gov
eminent, is the bulwark of our liber-
ties
MIR. Roosevelt il emphatically q
fighter, and has placed Mr.. Taft in
such position in his speeches that
the President has been compelled to
take the offensive, however much
such course is distasteful to him.
MIR. Taft is unhappy in such fight,
while MIR. Roosevelt il i'm his element.
As Democrats, having no sympathy
with either Of them politically, we
feel sorry, az American citizens, to
see a spectacle like this in the poll
tics Of our country. 1t seems pity
that there should be such a row, be-
tween those who were former friends,
over a matter that in the end may not
amount to much, for they will likely
find that the lucky fellow, il the one
who A. licked fin the Primary mas
much as the other fellow, the one who
succeeds in the Primary, is pretty
sure to be licked in the General Elee-
ton.

TAFT's NOTIFICATION.
Formal Ceremony to be Held in Wash
 inaton in August.

Beverly, Mass, July 5-President Taft will receive the formal notifica- tion that he is the nominee of the re- publican party for president at the White House in Washington about August 1. The president told his vis- itors at Parramatta today that he had talked with Senator Root of New York, permanent chairman of the republican national convention, and that they had decided that the notification should take place in Washington. The presi- dent believes that Washington is the most convenient place for the commit tee to wait upon him and desires to entertain them in the White House.
 1t is probable that Mrs. Taft and the Taft children will leave their summer home here for d few days to be present at the notification ceremonies.
 The president has planned a reeep- tien for early next week to the sub committee of the republican national committee which is to meet him to go over the situation and which will hear

SELLING PRESSURE.
Weakness Most Pronounced in Anal
 gamated, Steel and U, p.


 New York, July 5.-Stocks were un- der selling pressure almost from the outset of today's session and con siderable part of the early weeks rise was lost The selling centered about the leaders, with weakness most marked in Amalgamated Copper, United States Steel and Union Pacific. The market was clearly without lead ership in either direction, however, and the output represented nothing more than professional trading.
 Another shipment of gold to Paris was announced, making a total of $S, 900 900 to that center in little more than a week There is still some mys- tery surrounding these exports, which are believed to have their origin in the pressing needs of the foreigners. The Bank of England lost over S3,000,- 900 gold on the week and materially reduced the proportion of it's liability | reserves. which fell to 41.39 per cent compared' with 45.25 per cent. this week last year Consols weakened to new low point in London, where gen eral markets were dull and irregular Lowest prices of the day were regis tered in the final hour, when rumors affecting the copper situation and steel earnings for the recent quarter were circulated.

 Finley lined up with Harvey c. Garber in the effort to defeat Cover nor Harmon, and his movements wePo known to the governor, who delayed removing him from office, as 1t might appear as a threat to other 0PgaBiSa- tion men to stick to Harmon or take the consequences.

Los Angeles, Cal, July 5.-"Sleeping over It. did not serve to any extent to still the confusion that followed the end of yesterdays championship light weight fight between Ad Wolgast and Joe Rivers at Vernon. The cries of "Fakei" which resounded through the fight pavilion yesterday, echosed among the haunts of sporting men. Promoter McCarey said that in view of the grave doubt laid against the de- cislon of Referee Welch in awarding the fight to Wolgast as a knockout, he was undecided as to giving the $500 diamond belt to the champion.
 Scores of men who were among the II, 900 spectators called at the offices of the Pacific Athletic club to suggest that the boys be sent together in an other 20-round battle to decide finally the question of supremacy.
 Rivers and his manager, Joe Levy, expressed willingness to fight the bat tie over again, but Wolgast and his business director, Tom Jones, main tained silence If the two boys get together again. it is said. the battle will be fought on Labor day,
 After Welch helped Wolgast to his feet and rendered his rank decision" said Levy, T offered to start the fight over again right there. But Weich disappeared and Jones and Wolgast refused, J am willing now to send Rivers back into the ring against Vol gast any time."
 Wolgast did not leave his training camp, to which he repaired after the fight until late today. Rivers was about town early, His right eye was cut and almost closed, his nose con siderably swollen and his mouth puffed and cut.
 Al Harder, official time keeper for the club. said that it was just sec onds before the round was to end when Rivers went down. Several seconds elapsed before Referee Welch began to count
 "I don't know how many seconds Welch had counted before l rang the bell said Harder, but do know that after l had rung the bell ending the round Welch gave the decision to Wogast."
