The speech of acceptance should be read
by everybody. Compare what Mr.. Taft
says with what pack of vocipotent ene-
mics says about him. The details OF his
opinions and policies as outlined in the
speech we leave our readers TO consult for
themselves. nor for the moment need we
discuss them. This is the nub Of Mr..
Taft's republicanisn, honest, progressive
repubIicanism, marching forward under
the banner of the constitution:
..The republican party stands for the con-
stitution as it IS, with such amendments
adopted according to its provisions as new
conditions thoroughly understood may re-
quiFe. We believe that it has stood the test
of time and that there have been disclosed
really no serious defects in its operation.
"It is said that this is not an issue in the
campaign. It seems to me it is the supreme
issue The democratic party and the former
republicans who have left their party are
neither Of them to be trusted on this subject,
as I have shown.
THE repu blican party is the naeelus OF
that public opinion which favors constant
progress aud development along safe and
sane lines and under the constitutions rs we
have had it for more than leo years, and
which believes in the maintenance OF an in
dependent Judiciary as the keystone of our
liberties. and the balance wheel by which the
whole governmental machinery is kept with
in the original plan"
Whether or not protective tariff is un-
constitutional, as the democratic platform
will have us believe, whether or not we
agree-snd we do not agree-with Mr..
Taft's proposal for the federal incorpora-
tion of ''lsrge interstate business enter
prises', the constitution continues to be a
good enough platform for The Sun; all
rational progress can be attained under it;
there is no security beyond it. Win or
lose, Mr.. Taft and the republicans stand
on the impregnable rock OF the constitu-
ton

They were quaint old couple, and it
was evident they had never seen many
circuses. All the wild things in cages in
terested them intensely, but the woman
kept hurrying her husband along. "Hurry
up, john" she would say, sswe don't want
to miss the hippopotamus. We may
never get a chance to see another of 'em."
Seeing the hippopotamus was the main
object OF the expedition, evidently. And
at last they came to the tank cage where

full minute, and her face relapsed into
the bitterness OF disappointed hope.

Here comes bona fide sea-serpent story.
Our Mouth OF the River correspondent
writes: .'Capt. II. c. Ray, of the sloop Sea-
bright, witnessed peculiar sight while
on his last fishing trip. About five miles
south of Outer Long island, sea serpent
came about one hundred yards from the
boat. Capt. Ray estimated its length at
fifty to seventy-five feet. Its head re-
sembied horses head, only thinner. 1t
resembled one seen in Boston bay some
time ago. 1t was headed due north"

Col. Harvey, of Hdrper's Weekly,
and Candidate Wilson seem to have
kissed and made up. 1t will be re-
membered that before the Baltimore
convention Mr.. Wilson politely but
firmly insisted that the colonel quit
booming him, alleging that the
coloners support was doing him more
harm than good. The colonel reluc-
family complied. But since the con-
vention, although the colonel has re-
newed his support, no protest has
emanated from Seagirt; hence it may
fairly be assumed that the strained
relations no longer exist.

Progressives to Support State Ticket.

Progressives to support State Ticket.
Another disappointment for Maine
democrats; they hoped and prayed
that the progressives at their conven-
ton in Portland last week would
nominate State ticket; they not
only did not do so, but they emphati-
cally endorsed the republican ticket,
and will support it, thus recognizing
that whatever differences among re-
publicans may exist as to the national
ticket, a united effort should be
made in September to remove from
the State the burden of Plaistedism
with its broken promises and pseudo
economy.

POLITICAL NOTES.

THE AMERICANS West Franklin cor
respondent writes: ssSkeriff Jellison and
Frank Bradbury were in town Monday
looking after democratic fences. They
were all down and beyond repair"
State Committeeman e. P. Spofford was
in the city yesterday consulting the re-
publican leaders and looking over the
situation here. The judge says the out
look all over the county is bright, but
with the democrats intrenched, some hard
work must be done; in fact, is already be-
ing done. Arrangements are being per-
fected for an aggressive campaign, which,
though short, will be sharp and decisive.

Mystery of the u. S. Army Uniforms

yNHO is responsible for the many
w unnecessary and idiotic changes
in our army uniforms? Those who
have suffered most, officers of the
regular army and of the National
Guard, long suspected that the general
staff could, if it were so minded, throw
some light upon this outrage.
Recently the Army and Navy Jour-
nal editorially assured the victims
that the general staff was innocent.
Suspicion next falls upon the adju-
tant general, but any one familiar with
the context of the executive order de-
filming the duties of the chief OF staff
and limiting the duties of the adjutant
general to that of sergeant major in
chief of the army knows that the adj
jutant general could have had any
hand in the atrocity.
The quartermaster general and the
commissiary general are not involved.
The surgeon general is entirely above
suspicion.
Brig. Gen. Clarence Edwards, chief
of the insular bureau, can be ac-
quilted. He has but infrequent oppor-
tunities to wear a uniform, and his Of
fetal and social duties are such that
