Hillsdale Daily, says federal Office

want TO realize big profits on their

dent Taft
The people didn't want Mr.. Taft
when Roosevelt forced him on the
country and they do not want him
now" says Mr.. Grandon
Since coming home people have
been asking about politics in the
west" he continues There is a rea-
son for 1t. We see very little news
OF the west In the eastern papers.
When l was In the west could find
very little eastern news In the West
ern papers. So the inquiry is quite
natural. Regarding the political situ-
alton, l have no hesitancy In saying,
as | stated more than a year ago,
that there seems to be no doubt that
President Taft will be renominated.
That he is the most unpopular presi-
dent in history seems to be unques-
toned. The great mass OF the voters
did not want him when Roosevelt
forced him on the country. They do
not want him now. But very small
organization or real workers can do
more in Is minutes than hundred
times as many disorganized individ-
uals can accomplish in month.
Nothing will prevent Taft's fenoHi-
ination but the office seekers ana the
office holders, and they generally pin
their faith to the collection box, ana
the collection box Is with and for
Taft. Practically all the men in the
west who manipulate things are for
Taft With not over half a dozen ex-
ceptions all the leading dailies OF the
west are for Taft. The whole west
is against the conservation policies or
Roosevelt and LaFollette. They are
largely land boomers. They are not
looking at the future. They want the
big corporations. anybody, everybody,
HtoV get busy right now and develop
their country. build cities, railroads,
and thus enable yhefn TO se3i Their
lands. They want their harvest now.
They have no thought OF future gen.
erations. They do not care about the
future. They want quick profits. All
that class or people are for Tart, ana
nearly all who have gone out west
made the change in the hope OF max
ing a quick grab for the money.

SECRETARY BEN Quincy
WILL LEAVE WATER BOARD.
Tenders Resignation To Take
Position With Michigan
Smelling & Refining Co.

Benjamin F. Quincy, secretary OF
the board OF water commissioners for
IL years and rated cne OF the most
capable OF city employees. rendered his.
resignation to the board, Friday al
ternoon and announced that he had
accepted position In an executive
capacity with the Michigan Smelling
& Refining Co., with headquarters in
Detroit.
Mr.. Guiney's action was not known
in advance by the board, and the
members were very much surprised.
as Mr.. Quincy had always given the
best of satisfaction and seemed pleas
ed with his work. Mr.. Quincy
shouldered the greater share OF the
executive work OF the city's water de
partment while receiving the same
salary as the secretaries of other city
departments some of whom have
comparative sinecures. Recently the
council voted TO increase the salaries
of nearly all the secretaries OF the
city departments from $1,000 TO So
600, but the salary of the secretary
OF the water board is fixed by the
board itself Mr.. Quincy made no
complaint as 10 the salary he was re-
ceiving, but when a firm offered him
nearly double what the city paid him
he snapped ii up. A number OF firms
had bid for Mr.. Guiney's services, as
he is recognized as an efficient execu-
tive.
Mr.. Guiney's resignation was TO
take effect May 15, but the board
voted to allow him a vacation OF so
days with full pay. No action toward
naming his successor has been taken.
The board decided to ask the esti'
majors to approve the issue OF $2f0-
600 of per cent bonds TO carry on
the work of extension and improves
ment The legislature in 1901 fixed
the bond limit of the board at 81 800
900 and this $4,000 issue will be
the last under that limit. The legis-
/ lature about TWO years ago passed a
special act 10 increase the bonding
| limit 10 81, 500, 600 but there Is some
question as 10 the constitutionallty
OF the act.

STRONG DESPITE
MODERNISM, SAYS RABBI

BALTIMORE. Md, April 13.-Ex'
pressing the conviction that Judaism
will survive despite the inroads oil
modernism and socialism and the
new thought, and prophesying that
all men will soon acknowledge that
through Israel alone is the voice OF
the Lord with power" Babbi Harry
II. Mayer, of Kansas City, Mo-. de-
livered a lecture at Madison.ave Tenn
pie at the Sabbath service. which for.
mally opened the twenty-third annual
convention OF the Central Conference
OF American Rabbis.
The weakness OF modern So
GEOLOGY" said Rabbi Mayer, is that
at times it tends to play into the
hands of socialism. The Hebrew
prophets escaped this pitfall by sup
plementing the preachment OF social
Justice with the doctrine Of individual
righteousness as the inescapable con
dition that must precede the reign OF
social justice.
"The modern socialists" said the
Rabbi, "fall into the error Of regard
ing individual righteousness, not as
condition antecedent to. but con
dition consequent upon social regen
Grafton. Poverty and inequality will
not be wiped out when once the right
kind of social conditions are firmly
established. unless the value or the
individual soul is clearly perceived
and the tendency to magnify the i'm
portance of the aggregate many
avoided"
II is expected that a radical stand
against Jews becoming members Of
the Christian Science faith may be
taken. A strong protest will also bt
made against Misrepresentation o.

BATTLE FOR DELEGATES
FOR PRESIDENT is Being
DECIDED IN PENNSYLVANIA
Primaries To Pick Republican
and Democratic Choices Are
Held in keystone State
LEADERS MAKE CLAIMS
Candidacy of President Taft
Hangs On Result Of Fight
With Roosevelt
LEADERS Make CLAIMS

PHILADELPHIA, April 13.--Wheu
the primaries opened here this after.
noon the machine leaders Claimed
that the Roosevelt followers would
fail TO get single delegate from the
city while the Roosevelt men smiling
ly claimed not lesS than six OF the IL
national convention delegates from
this city. The fight which ended with
tne opening OF the polls was the bit
terest In the states history and on
tne result may hang the candidacy OF
PRESIDENT Taft, at Chicago.
Sixty-four OF the states delegates
VIII be elected today. The remainder
OF the 76, including the big four
VIII be elected at the state conven-
ton which meets May z. This was
due to the fact that today's primaries
were held under the old apportion-
ment which gave the state only 81
congressional districts while under
the new representation the state Ii
entitled to " district delegates.
Because of this fact there was a.
much interest today in the delegates
to the state convention as to the ma
tional. Both sides claimed victory In
advance, but there was no doubt that
the organization leaders were fearful
OF the result in the state at large,
especially In the coal fields where
there were reports OF defections.
Friends OF Senator Penrose. who
led the fight In the east, and Senator
Oliver. who led 1t In the western Sec
ton of the state, claimed that ROose-
welt would not have more than IL
delegates in the entire national dele
cation from the state.
Interest in the Democratic primar.
les was not as great as in the Repub-
lican. Because Pennsylvania looks
on Gov, Wilson, of New Jersey, as al
most q native son' his managers
claimed that the state delegation VIII
be for the New Jersey governor. The
Clark forces disputed this, however.
and II seemed certain that. no mat

at Baltimore will be dictated by rese,
