"The most Important requisite in a president, as In other officials, Is that his sympathy shall be with the whole people rather than with any faction of the population. "He is constantly called upon to act la the capacity of a judge, deciding between the importunities of those who seek favors and the rights and Interests of the public. "Unless his sympathies are right, the few are sure to have an advantage over the many, for the masses have no one to present their claims. They act only at elections; and must trust to their representatives to protect them from all their foes." W. J. Bryan. Well said, Mr. Bryan, but did it occur to you when you were outlining the duties of a president that you were In the same breath also describing minutest terms, the very qualities which render William Howard Taft so conspicuous? Taft, the Judge, Taft the Just If we had no other proof than Taft's record on the bench in the court of the nation, we would have sufficient proof of his ability to distinguish between the true and the false. Add to this his absolute incorruptibility and Mr. Bryan your own formula is , personified in Taft. But we have two other examples of the stuff Taft is made of. Witness his administration of the Phillipines. At the time of his arrival in the islands the natives ot all classes were, to put it mildly, in a state of confusion. Fancy somewhat less than a hundred tribes speaking several different tongues and many more dialects all In uproar. Nor was this all. The many tribes, ranging from complete savag ery to civilization had been accus-

HMjmu w ire , jusuce ana uiejLpresident has refused to run. No

force of arms as their standard of civilized government. What did Taft do? In an orderly and quiet fashion he administered justice in a land where everything was chaos. The effect was instantaneous. From plaza to bazaar went the news and from bazaar to village, from village to jungle, "Here," said the natives, "Is a man who can tell what the right Is, and then do it." And there was peace in the land. It was not the troops which we cent to Cuba which allayed the internal dissension. That was but a minor detail which was of course necessary. The point in connection with them is that they were not used. Why? Because William Howard Taft had sized up the situation and devised a satisfactory and Just settlement of affairs. It is to Taft that we owe the present reputation in Cuba that this country has for fairness end square dealing. The peaceful settlement of the Cuban revolution is without parallel in all the history of the South American republics. A man who could do that could have settled the coal strike in the fearful winter of unpleasant memory. Taft the Just. Let Taft speak for himself. "The enforcement of the law, equally against high or low, the powerful and the weak, should be his first thought. The danger to our country from laxity or favoritism Is the greatest one we have to face."

ELECTORAL VOTES. Along with the selection of John W. Kern of Indiana for the second place on the democratic ticket, corner the announcement of Dover the secretary of the republican national committee that the real fighting will be in the middle west. But is that so? Time was when we heard much of the "Solid South." The solid south and New York, New Jersey, Connecticut or Indiana that was a gladsome sight to the long suffering eye of the most jaded democratic candidate. Most of the estimates of the outcome which have already begun to appear, have overlooked the new apportionment. True the solid south gained ten votes in the electoral college, but the northern states gained (with Oklahoma) twenty six votes. Give Bryan the solid south, New, York, New Jersey and Connecticut and for that matter Oklahoma and still he would be minus a majority. But if Bryan, as is reported, will make no more than a perfunctory fight In the East and will turn his real forces into the Middle West there is little hope for him. He Is right in thinking that the East will have none of him, the eastern papers praise Judge Gray of Deleware for not appearing on the ticket with him. It is perfectly true perhaps, that Bryan can poll more votes than any other democrat, but with the electoral system, It might easily be that a man might have been found (Johnson or Gray,) who would have gathered in more electoral votes. "UNCLE REMUS." "Uncle Remus" is dead, yet "Uncle Remus" will live. Joel Chandler Harris, the kindly writer, who in addition to his editorial work on the Atlanta Constitution, struck a note in American literature which was 60 limpid and original that it has for many years held its own in the hearts of Americans, In spite of our national thirst for something new. But what wonder. The tales are ever new. We will leave it to the men of science to appraise his work, to separate the folk tale from the humor and literary skill of the author. But we will point out the fact that only the born southerner yot the aristocracy knows and loves the negro for what he is. And to any one who has been in the south, it is no less apparent that the negro himself realizes the fact Of the best class of the southern white man was Joel Chandler Harris, and of the best type of negro was "Uncle Remus." We may have much talk about the negro problem, but the work of Joel Chandler Harris wiU forever stand as a document to show the real kindliness which exists between the best elements of the two races. -Uncle Remus" is dead, but "Brer Rabbit," "Brer Fox," "Jedge B'ar" and "de Tar Baby" are immortal. The "Little Boy" 'will never grow old. There was once an Irishman who was picked up on the streets in a critical condition. He was taken to the hospital and operated on for appendicitis. While he was lying there in a very weak condition an organ grinder's monkey came into the room and sat on the edge of the bed. Pat wokd up and having previously asked to see his appendix, he addressed the monkey as follows: "Oh, me poor appendix, I don't know whether ye be divil or angel, but go away. Ye're mither is a very sick woman." Which is the attitude of the old line democrats toward Mister Bryan. From latest advices Pat's recovery is very uncertain. The Labor Socialistic candidate for

wonder, poor fellow, it is hard to run in lock step. In its federal license platform it is not the first time that the Democratic party has tried to straddle two "irreconcilable things."

TRADE IS RETURNING Railroad Business Shows a Rapid Return to Normal Conditions. FREIGHT OUTLOOK BRIGHT. Indcations point to an increase in all .branches of trade and that a return of normal business conditions is rapidly approaching. Railroad managers especially report a decided improvement and a sharp demand for cars. The railroads will shortly be compelled to enter the iron and steel market and tlx demand for cars will then be sudden as well a3 heavy, according to local officials. Reports from the different railroads show a decided business improvement cn all the roads in the country. Repair Bhops have been put on full time both east and west and engineers who have been Idle are now returning to work. The freight outlook is especially bright. Reports Indicate that numerous industrial plants which have been closed for several months are now resuming operations while others with short forces are putting on additional help. IS This Is Reflected in Reports of Richmond Division Yard Masters. HOLD A MEETING HERE. The yardmasters of the Richmond division of the Pennsylvania railroad held their quarterly meeting at the office of the Richmond yardmaster M. J. Murphy yesterday. The meeting was well attended and the question of handling tho business at the different places on the division were discussed. All the yardmasters reported that the business was good and probably a little better than it usually is at this time of the year. It was stated that the conditions in Richmond were much better than elsewhere. The manner in which the equipment is handled and the yard work is performed is much superior to that of any other place on the division. The yardmasters that attended the meeting yesterday were J. W. Hopkinson of Kokomo; Roy J. Arnold of Elwood; B. G. Brodhead, secretary of Anderson; J. H. Welch, president, of Anderson, and M. J. Murphy of Richmond. The next meeting will be held in Anderson the second Tuesday in October. AGAIN BUTTS IN TO THE DRY COLUMN Knightstown Has No Saloons At Present. Knightstown, July 15. The last saloon license, that of Wyatt Braden, has expired, and Knightstown is now "dry." This Is Knlghtstown's second experience in the "dry" column. During the first certain drug stores and "blind tigers" supplied the thirsty, but that was before the enactment of the present stringent law. No words eaa describe the patience, good humor and skill of the Swiss guides. Their quick eyes see every danger, their prompt actions avert it. When "on the rope" one has a feeling of perfect security, and on steep aretes and rotten ice, on crumbling rocks and abrupt precipices, one has implicit confidence in their strength, judgment and endurance. That these guides possess a sixth sense is indisputable. One might almost call it acute premonition, for it warns them in advance of all dangers incident to mountaineering and, combined with a marvelous dexterity and an intrepid courage, serves to avert calamity and Insure success Wide World Magazine.

GEORGIA ISJO BOLT State Will Not Support Bryanism This Election It Is Claimed. NEBRASKAN IS NOT LIKED. New York, July 15. "If Mr. Bryan is figuring on a solid South," said George R. Payne of Atlanta at the Hotel Breslin, "he will be badly fooled on Georgia unless he is able to make a few thousand converts through his campaign talk. Georgia gave Bryan 51,000 in 1900, against McKlnley's 35,000, but times have changed In Georgia during the last eight years, particularly on Bryanism. "The feeling in Georgia was quite evident at Denver, where the delegates were very cold toward Mr. Bryan. "Georgia has lost considerable Bryanism during the administration of Hoke Smith and the people showed where they stand on this subject the last state election. "There may not be many democrats in the South who have the courage to free themselves from the Bryan bondage, but there are enough in Georgia to carry the state for Taft. "The only thing which might save Bryan In Georgia would be the turning of the negro vote, and while there la mocb talk of this among white dem

He is more Inclined to believe the negro in the wrong and uphold the action of the white man, whom he recognizes as a better friends in time of need than his own race." A Clever Woman. "Good morning Mrs. Howell, why are you not washing this morning, it is now ten o'clock." "Why, Mrs. Ross, since I commenced to use Easy Task Soap I am always through with my wasing by nine-thirty in the morning.
