SIMON WOLF EAVORS
REELECTION Of TAFT
Friend of Roosevelt, in Letter
to Mr.. Stimson, Praises
Presidents Fitness.

Simon Wolf of this city. in letter to
Secretary Of War Stimson, has come out
strongly in favor of the reelection of
President Taft. Mr.. Wolf was a warm
friend of Col Roosevelt when the latter
was in the White House. but he declares
in his letter that President Taft has
earned a second term.
His letter to Secretary Stimson is as
follows:
Il have read with a great deal of pleas
ure your admirable address made to the
republicans of Chicago, and heartily in
dorse every word thereof. 1. too. am a
friend of Col. Roosevelt, have had many
delightful personal and official relations
with him, and have at all times regarded
him as one of the great men of the ma
ton, equaling the best, and surprising
many others.
II have been a close student of Ameri-
can political history for the last fifty
years and more, and am free to confess
that during that whole period there never
has been a President who surpassed. in
sane judgment and judicial temper, good
ness of heart, executive ability and a
broad grasp of all the questions that lead
10 the betterment of the nation, President
Taft.
Has Been Loyal to Party.
He has been loyal to the party; he
has stood firm to the pledges Of the re-
publican platform: he is in every sense q
progressive, which at all times means a
republican. and is therefore entitled to
the hearty, loyal and answering support
of every republican voter, including our
friend Col. Roosevelt
To me it is a mystery what has occa-
stoned the change OF mont on the part of
our friend. but in an hour like this sem
tfment and personal equations must be
reiegated to the rear. and the success of
the great party of achievement must be
brought to the fore. 1t was a fatal hour
that made him depart from the decision
ne had reached in 1904, for while II is
barely possible, but not probable that his
candidacy may lead to the defeat of the
republican party, 1t will surely never lead
TO his own election.
The American people love a Square
deal the slogan by and through which
Col. Roosevelt conjured popularity. They
know and feel that President Taft is en-
Titled to a denomination and reelection.
and they will resent in emphatic tones
any interference with the precedents and
usages that have heretofore obtained in
American politics"

morning with pitchfork
The bear, which weighed about 200

entered the bears eye, penetrating to
the brain.
Mrs. Sutton was awakened just be-
fore daylight by a commotion in her
outbuildlngs. The bark of a dog, the
lowing of a COW, the cackling of fowl
and the stamp OF horse commingled,
but above all rose a series of shrill
squeals from the pigs.
Mrs Sutton ran to the barn, seized
the pitchfork, proceeded to the pigpen
and killed the bear as it was climbing
out of the pen.-New York American
