This move on Preaident Taft's
part inevitably recalls the proposal
made by House Democratic
Leader Champ Ciark in the clos-
ing days of Congress. v Mr.
Clark, noticing that the wollen
schedule was notoriously iniq-
uitous and was not defended by
the President himself, gave assur-
ance that if the President would

Republican tariff legislation—ex-

maneuver blocks bis way from
the standpoint of political tactics.

The latest attempt at hold-up
had a ship on the high seas for its
back-ground. Although we wish
the passengers of this vessel no
especial harm we confess to some
curiosity as to how the highway-
men planned to make their get-
away, had fate allotted them suc-
cess instead of failure. '*
An Indiana miss wss so much
fascinated by her own reflection in
a hand-mirror that she unwittingly
walked into an open cistern and
narrowly escaped being drowned.
If the young lady in question at
all compares with the description
of Indiana loveliness drawn for a
sympathetic world in the pages of
Indiana's novelists, no one can be
surprised at her absorption in her
occupation.
England and the East generally
would doubtless show great
change.
.National Republican managers
are vigorously endeavoring to
betterthe situation in Vermont and
Maine, lest their party and their
own faction as well receive a hard
blow at tht outset. They may
succeed, but Vermont snd Maine
will both bear watching.
Yes, Alpine expects to bore for
water and oil but as the visible
supply of gas exceeds the de
mand, it will not be consieered.

this does not mean that they do

There seems to be no doubt
that things are at present going
badly for the Republicans in
Maine and Vermont, where elec-
tions are held this month, on the
aixth and twelfth insts., respect-
ively. Unlik? New Hampshire,
- these states have no fight in pro-
between standpatters and
ive, but for that very
they may from the Re-
publican standpoint acquit them-
selves worse, inasmuch as the
benefit of progressive sentiment
accrues more largely to Demo-
cratic candidates. If we were to

We, your committee, appoint-
ed to draft resolutions to the
memory of our deceased member,
Brother H. H. Moore, beg leave
to submit the following:
Whereas, it has pleased our
Heavenly Father to remove from
our midst our worthy Brother,
Judge H. H. Moore, who de
parted this life on August 8th,
thereby leaving a vacancy in our
council and in the community,
therefore, be it
Resolved, that we deplore the
untimely death of our belovec
brother, yetws feel and believe
that he has gone on to a brighter
and better world and that his in-
fluence for good will live long af-
ter his departure from this world.
We extend our heartfelt sym
pathy to his bereaved relatives,
who were denied the privilege of
being with him in his last sick-
ness.

in verse an insight into the char-
acter of the person holding them.
Much merriment was created
when the different cards were
read aloud. Refreshments con-
sisting of nut salad, deviled crab,
olives, cheese straws, fruits and
coffee was served. Those pres-

fad that seems to be yery popular
in Alpine. Misses Edith Shields
and Miss Enon Smith entertained
a party of friends Wednesday
morning with a sunrise breakfast
at Ranger Canyon. Those who
enjove^ camp coffee and broiled
bacon 'with Misses Shields and
Smith were Bessie Daugherty,
Addie Ferguson, Mabel O'Mal-
ior, Nellie Armistead, Richard
Armistead and Homer Ferguson.

Christian Endeavor Social.
The members of the Young
People's Christian Endeavor and
their friends were treated to
genuine entertainment st the
Garnett House last Friday even-
ing. A feature of the party was
the "progressive conversation"
engaged in by a large circle of the
young people stated upon the ex-
pansive lawn. By vote of those
present Miss Dora Parkis and
Mr. Clifton Ferguson took first
prizes as the best conversational-
ists. Mr. Guy Johnson also
took a prize as an artist, demon-
strating his ability by drawing the
best daisy. The boys then chose
their partners according to height
and all repaired to the large din-
ing hall where watarmelon was
served in abundance. A joyous
time was reported.
