NEW YoRK's CONVENTION.

There were some very satisfactory
features about the State Republican
Convention of New York, and there
were some features about it that were
not so satisfactory. It appears that
Mr. Barnes, the State Chairman, fought
against positive instructions for Presi-
dent Taft. He WAS powerful enough
TO fend off that action; but he was not
powerful enough to prevent an EN-.
phatio and personal Endorsement of
President Taft, The convention passed
u resrI1tion evrrosol>' "r1 "rf'-.,.~ - y ct.
favoring President Taft g denomination,
and THE convention Expressed IUs..l -
favor of the unit rule by urging that
the district delegates unite to the end
favored by the State convention s reso-
luton.
1t savors somewhat Of treachery for
MIR. Barnes to oppose positive instruo-
tions for President Taft 1t is not easy
to see, either, why he should do this,
unless he has programme of trickery
up his sleeve The positive personal
Endorsement given to President Taft
ought to mean instructions to support
him. If it does not mean that, it means
nothing. And yet, Mr.. Barnes is repre-.
sented as jubilant over his claimed
triumph - in preventing instructions.
1t is difficult to see, however, why he
should want to prevent them if he is
honestly supporting the President, or
how the New York State delegates can
escape the obligation Of supporting
President Taft in view of the indorse
ment given; and we do not believe that
there will be either disposition or op-
portunity for them to betray Presid ent
Taft.
Aside from the declaration of indorse.
ment of President Taft and his admin
lstration, and the declaration for Presi.
dent Taft s denomination, the great
event of the convention was President
Butler s speech as temporary chairman.
1t was An address Of extraordinary
keenness and power, going to the root
of the new Roosevelt heresies in way
most, delightful To read There is no
discount on that speech; it would be
great campaign document to circulate
among the delegates when they as.
semble in Chicago.
1t must be a deep humiliation to Col
Roosevelt to see this action taken by
the Republican Convention Of his State.
1t is impossible that he should recover
from this blow, In spite of temporary
and partial successes here and there,
Roosevelt is and for some time has
been, beaten man. President Taft
will undoubtedly carry Pennsylvania
and most Of the New England
States He will probably carry
California and Oregon, and will thus
easily have enough delegates to effect
his denomination. The outlook is ex-
ceedingly good, and the Taft manage
ment is fully justified in the enthusiasm
and confidence which it displays.

TO FINANCE MoFFAT ROAD.

The announcement from Denver that
the multi millionaire brewer, Mr.. Adol,
phus Busch, will finance the Moffat
road, will. we trust, turn out to bo cor
rect Mr.. Busch's activities are very
great. Besides being President of the
Anheuser Busch Brewing Association of
st. Louis. he is President of the South
Side Bank. of the Manufacturers Rail.

Company. New York, of the Grand Pa.

Third National Bank, in the Kinloch

Car and Foundry Company, in the U.
s. Independent Telephone Company of
Missouri, in the Safe Deposit Company,
and in the American Bottle Company.
With diversified interests such as
these. and with abundance of money
there would be nothing in the least ex-
traordinary in Mr. Busch turning his
dI1cuIiou W bHe uuducluE OIL IbS bhuhdt
road: in fact, it would be quite in line
with other interests in which be is so
prominent, The special reason why his
activities in connection with the fnanc,
ing Of the Moffat road would be ap-
propriatc, is his ownership of vast de.
posts Of gilsonite and asphalt in Uin-
tab county in Utah. He is said to be
desirous Of developing these interests
on an immense scale; In order to do
this, nothing better could possibly be
suggested than his financing Of this
road from Denver direct westward, and
that the road would be extended to
Salt Lake City upon its reaching the
Uintah country would be a matter of
course.
Mr.. Busch is said to stipulate that
the note issue Of S3,000,000 by the Mof
fat line must be taken care OF by the
present company; then he and his
friends will take hold of the road and
extend it TO Salt Lake. The Denver
dispatch which apprises the public Of
the action of Mr.. Busch in the fnanc-
ing Of this road states that the note
issue referred to has been cared for, and
the result releases the announcement
as made that Mr.. Busch will finance the
road. 1t is good news for all of Utah,
and especially for Salt Lake.

THE LoRIMER HANDICAP.

There has never been any doubt
about the adroitness of Col, Roosevelt
as a politician President Cleveland
many years ago gave it as his opinion
that Roosevelt was the most adroit pol
itician In the United States, and Wash
ington has all along concurred in that
opinion. This has been abundantly
proved IN many cases. Whenever there
is a weakness to be taken advantage
of, Roosevelt is ready, either with or
without scruple, TO take advantage OF
it, Whenever there is a point Of ad-
vantage which he can occupy, right
there he is always found making the
most of it. Whenever his position be
comes indefensible on any point, he
raises dust storm about something
else. shifting the battle TO another part
Of the field or to some other field. His
exceeding skill and versatility in this
have been marked features of his polit-
ical life.
All these characteristics of Roosevelt
as a politician and campaigner were
fully brought into play In his whirl-
wind campaign in Illinois. Disregard
ing the pleas of many Of his friends
not to attack Lorimer, he made his
campaign distinctly on the auti-Lori.

that the Lorimer issue was the decisive

Lost Three Little Ones.

A most distressing occurrence re-
Gently took place in Craven County,
N. c., in which three children Of Geo.
Adams lost their lives. His wife was
doing some washing in the YARD while
the children, the eldest eight and the
youngest one year old, played nearby.
Noises were heard from nest occu
pied by 4 setting hen, when Mrs. Ad-
ans told the eldest boy to go throw
the fowl off the nest. The boy went
and without looking, put his hand into
the nest to catch the hen He quickly
withdrew it, crying that she had peck
ed him. The second boy volunteered
to throw off the hen, but soon scream
ed that be had been pecked also. The
mother rushed to the nest and found
a rattlesnake in it, and to her horror
saw the snake had bitten both boys.
In her anxiety to do something for
the older boys, the one year old child
was forgotten for the time being, and
when she returned for it, found that it
had climbed over into the tub Of water
and was drowned. The two boys that
had been bitten by the rattlesnake
died the same day, and all three chill
dren were buried together in the same
grave.
