Wilson's Accepting Speech

After thanking the committee of no
tlhcation and expressing his profound
serse of responsibility in accepting
tta nomination, the governor said he
realized that he was expected to
speak plainly, to talk politics and op-
en- the campaign ''in words whose
meaning no one need doubt" And he
Wss expected to speak, he added. to
tne country as well as to the commit
tee:
I'VE must speak," he continued, by
way of preface, mot to catch votes,
bd; to satisfy the thought and con-
science of people deeply stirred by
the conviction that they have come
to a critical turning point in their
moral and political development"
Plainly it is new age he went
on 1T requires self-restraint not to
attempt too much, and yet it would
BE- cowardly to attempt too little. In
the broad light of this new day we
stand face to face with what? Plain
ly. not with questions of party. not
with contest for office, not with a
petty struggle for advantage. With
great questions of right and justice,
rather, questions of national devel-
opment, of the development of char
acter and of standards of action no
les; than of better business system.
The forces of the nation are assert
ing themselves against every form OF
special privilege and private control,
ar d are seeking bigger things than
they have ever heretofore achieved.
Two Great Things.
There are VITO great things to do.
One is to set up the rule of justice
and of right in such matters as the
tariff, the regultioan of the trusts
arc the prevention of monopoly, the
adaptation of our banking and cur
rency laws to the very uses to which
o'l~ people must put them, the treat
ment Of those who do the daily labor
IN our factories and mines and those
throughout all our great industrial and
commercial undertakings, and the po-
Hccal life of the people of the Phil
1prires, for whom we hold govern
mental power in trust, for their SER
vice, not our own. The other. the
adc ltional duty is the great task of
pre- rttecting our people and our resourc-
rs and of keeping open to the whole
people the doors of opportunity thru
which they must, generation by gen
GRAFTON, pass if they are to make con-
quest of their fortunes in health. in
freedom, in peace, and in content
ment. In the performance of this
second great duty we are face to face
with questions of conservation and of
Development, questions of forests and
waterpowers and mines and water
ways, of the building of an adequate
merchant marine.
I'VE have got into trouble in re-
cent years chiefly because these large
thiL gs which ought to have been han
died by taking counsel with as large
a number of persons as possible, be-
cause they touch every interest and
the life of every class and region;
have in fact been too often handled
in private conference. They have been
settled by very small and often delib-
erately exclusive groups of men who
undertook to speak for the whole ma
tion, very honestly it may be, but
very ignorantly sometimes, and very
shcrt- sightedly, too, poor substitute

The Tariff Question.

'The tariff question as dealt with
in our time at any rate has not been
business. 1t has been politics. Tariff
schedules have been made up for the
purpose of keeping large number of
possible of the rich and influential
manufacturers of the country in a
good humor with the republican par
ty, which desired their constant fl
naDcial support. The tariff has be-
come system of favors, which the
PHI 1aseology of the schedule was Of
ten deliberately contrived to conceal.
Who, when you come down to the
hare facts of the matter, have been
rel resented in recent years when our
tariff schedules were being discussed
and determined, not on the floor of
congress, for that is not where they
have been determined, but in the CON-
mittee rooms and conferences? That
is the heart of the whole affair. Will
you, can you bring the whole people
into the partnership or not?
I'VE do not ignore the fact that
the business of country like ours is
exceedingly sensitive to changes in
legislation of this kind 1t has been
built up, however, ill i-advisedly, upon
tariff schedules written in the way
have indicated, and its foundations
must not be too radically or too sud-
denly disturbed"

side to side with every motion of the

of every passenger opposite, began
slowly but surely to lay his head on

unexpected happened. Without even
raising her eyes from her paper the
young woman reached into her bag
with one free hand, drew forth a
small silver vinaigrette of smelling
salts and carefully placed it under the
sleeper's nose. There was a rum

sneezes, and the man sat bolt upright,
blinking in bewildered fashion, while
the car echoed with laughter. The
only person who took no part in the
merriment was the young woman, who
calmly replaced her vinaigrette and
went on reading. The man remained
wide awake for the rest of the trip

3 DIE AS BOAT HITS DAM
Appleton Youth, Mother and Neigh
Dor Drown In Accident on Fox
River-Launch Engine Baked.

Appleton.-Three people, Harold
Schultz, 81; his mother, Mrs. Charles
Schultz, so, and a neighbor, Mrs.
Frank Diener, 40, drowned when the
gasoline launch in which they had
started for a pleasure ride was car
ried by the strong current in the
swollen Fox river over the upper
dam. Young Schultz, wireworker,
had owned the boat less than a
month and was unfamiliar with the
engine and the river.
The engine baked in the center of
the river, leaving the craft at the
mercy of the current. The river is
the highest it has been in thirty
years and no craft on the river is able
to buck the strong current.
Neither Schultz nor the two wom-
en- appeared to realize their danger
until 1t was too late. Schultz was
seen to leap out of the boat just be-
fore it struc kbroadside On the dam,
over which three feet of water was
flowing. The women were thrown
onto the rocks fifteen feet below and
swallowed up by the boiling waters

French Aviator Makes 105 Miles

BUT THREE OTHERS COMPETE
Maurice Provost Takes Second Place,
Covering Course in 1:13:10.82

Chicago, Sept. 11.-Racing under a
blazing sun at a rate of more than
los miles per hour, Jules Vedrines,
worlds champion airman, won the
Gordon-Bennett international trophy,
and will carry back to France the en-
blem significant of the aviation classic
of the age. =.
His time for 200 kilometers, 124.S

Maurice Provost, another member
of the French team, completed the
course in 1 hour 13 minutes 1882 sec

No other contestant completed the
course. Andre Frey, the third member
of the French team, came to earth on
his twenty-third lap, but he was al
ready hopelessly beaten by Provost,
who flew low and steadily and made
beautiful race.
saved this country the ignomy of not
even having a flier on the field.
At the last moment, when all OF the
other American entrants had decided
not to compete because Of the terrific
speed made by Vedrines, Lille mount

A moment later he was headed for
the course, flying high above Provost
and Frey. The crowd was electrified
by the news that Uncle Sam was at
least entering the race.
Vedrines flew in his own pet Deeper

with the exception of the engine the
same general type of machine in
which he won his world-famed Paris
Madrid race.
Provost also flew Deperdussin, but
it was equipped with a 100-horse pow
er engine, considerably less than that
used by Vedrines. Frey used a 100
horse power Henriot monoplane.
Demonstrating the fact that he can
quickly come to high speed, Vedrines
completed the first lap Of little more
than four miles in 2:24:57, and at once
the hopes of the Americans began to
flicker. Except the American defend
er, which was withdrawn two days
ago, they knew that no American ma
chine could possibly equal such speed
Flying so low that he at times ap-
peared to be scarcely above the line Of
the steel pylons marking the course,
he flew steadily and consistently.
Only four times did he consume more
than two minutes and twenty-four sec
onds in rounding the course.
Every other lap ranged from 2:20;2S,
the fastest, to 2:24:57, the first lap.
This means that the famous French
airman was soaring around the course
at a general speed considerably more
than 100 miles per hour-faster than
the fastest express train.
Though Provost was. driving a ma
chine of forty less horse power than
that of Vedrines, he drove beautiful

or the most remarkable demonstra-

AMERICAN HIT BY STRAY SHOT
Rebels Start Attack on OjInaga-War
Department Rushes More Troops

Boundary.

Washington, Sept. 1.-The tensity
of the situation along the Mexican
border was reflected here by the con-
tinuation of preparations for any
emergency, principally the possibility
of President Taft calling special
session of congress to pass upon the
question of armed Intervention.
With the border patrols strength
ened by additional cavalry, and other
troops practically upon their arms at
posts throughout the vest, ready to
move at an hours notice to supple
ment the forces on the Arizona and
New Mexico frontier, war depart
ment officials declared they had the
situation well In hand for the pres
ent, but were apprehensive of the
next move Of the rebel general, Sala-
Ear, encamped within sight Of the
United States troops, protesting he
meant no harm. but believed to be
planning another raid into American
territory
A late report from Maria, Tex, says
that Ojinaga, Mex opposite Preside,
Tex, Is being attacked from two
sides by 400 Mexican rebels. A bull
let from the Mexican side struck an
American at Preside. piercing his
hip. A party of United States officers
left Maria for the scene of the en-
gagement.
General Sanchez Is In command of
the federals defending Ojinaga.
A dispatch to the state department
said large force of federals had ar
rived at Cananea and that American
lives and property were safe.
Army officers hesitate to believe
that the Mexican government can
throw forces into the state of Sonora
sufficient to put down the uprising
there with any promptitude. All the
reports point to increasing activity OF
the rebels under General Zapata.
While the situation Is being OBJ
served with extreme care, the war de-
partment is disclosing no signs of
nervousness. All preparations have
been made to meet any emergency,
and 1t Is felt that there are now
enough troops along the international
line to patrol the border.
