JURY FAILS TO AGREE Caleb Powers Case Results in Mistrial —Was Fourth Hearing on Charge of Complicity in Goebel Murder. Georgetown, Ky., Jan. 4.—Caleb Powers' jury was discharged at noon, being unable to agree. The jury was. out more than forty eight hours. This was the fourth trial of powers for complicity In the murder of William Goebel. In two former trials Powers was convicted and sentenced to life Imprisonment. In the third he also was'convicted and given the death sentence. After the discha.^L^ the jury court was adjourned till afternoon, when de fense's motion for. ball will lie heard. The jury stood ten for acquittal unci two for conviction. Powers was show ered with- congratulations. The jurors were greatly wrought up, there being much ill feeling. Two of them shook Powers by the hand and actually cried. There\was no money in the jury fund with which to pay the jurymen. No criminal trials have attracted more attention than has the case of Powers, who eight years ago was just entering on his term as secretary -of state when William Goebel, democratic contestant in the gubernatorial contest then pending before the legislature was shot and killed at Frankfort, tho shot having apparently been fired from a window of the secretary of state's office. Powers was arrested and for nearly eight years has been in various jails of the state, part of the time as a state and part.as a federal prisoner. Powers was charged with having been an accessory before the fact and the open window In Ills office has played a large part In the various prosecu tions. For more than four years he has not been brought to trial, his case having gone thru various stages in the state and federal courts, reaching the supreme court of the United States, which, however, remanded it to the state courts, and the present trial fol lowed that order. This, the fourth trial, has continued for seven weeks, the jury actually having devoted for ty-six days to the regular considera tion of the trial and the later atttempts to reach a decision.

STOCK MARKET FEELS BETTER. Several Factors, However, Cause Some Uneasiness as to Future. New York, Jan. 4.—The smooth way with which the annual money settle ments were effected in Now York had an encouraging effect on speculative sentiment. Evidences of Improvement in the financial position prompted op efators In stocks to ignore, in largo part, some of the unfortunate develop ments. The disappearance of the pre ,mlum on currency in New York, and tho reduction in the Bank of England discount rate were regarded as mark ing a definite stage In the passing of abnormal features in the money situ ation, and as opening the way to rap Id improvement. Restraining factors were continued evidence of shrinkage in commercial activity, a marked de cline In railroad traffic and in earn ings, and the suspicion of an artificial origin for the rise in prices of secu rities.

Iowa Is the pioneer state in the work and physi cians and personB Interested In the matter generally are watching the suc cess of the plan. Until the state was Induced to pass an appropriation for the work^Mr. Kepford working for the State So ciety for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, was unable to do any thing but travel about the state lect uring. It was necessary for tho so ciety to pay its way as It went and for that reason It was necessary for Mr. Kepford to raise enough out of each lecture to pay his salary and ex penses and the expense of mailing out The board of control and Mr. Kepford find that one lecture or any number of a series of lectures delivered in a city are not sufficient for they do not reach at the best more than 1,000 peo pie at each lecture. But by addressing Catholics every fraternal organization, every church, the women's clubs and the like, practically every one is reached. Then It Is proposed to follow these lectures with one big meeting at which a city organization will be formed to fight the battles. With the formation of the city or ganization the work will only be fairly well started. It is proposed thru this organization to engage a visiting nurse. to secure the name and address of every person in the ctly who is afflict ed with tuberculosis and to have this nurse from time to time visit these people and in as diplomatic manner as possible outline to them the way in wihich they should treat the disease. Tf it is found that their conditions and environments are unsanitary to advise them and see to it that the evils are corrected. Thru this city organization and the visiting nurse and the aroused public sentiment that is secured it is proposed to distribute lit erature treating of the disease. This With the literature in the.ir hand and the advice of a trained nurse and able physicians available if there Is a desire in the mind of the afflicted per sons to recover they will have the best opportunity.

Nearly everybody knows that char coal is the safest iiml most efficient disinfectant and puritler In nature, but few realize Its value when taken Into the human system for the same cleans ing purpose. (\hurcoal is a remedy that the more yoif take of it the better It is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and Impurities always present In the 'stomach and Intestines and car ries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating on ions aild other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and Im proves the complexion, It whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbes the Injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels It disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal In one form 6r another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for tho money is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal .and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form or rather In this form of large pleasant tasting loz enges, the charcoal being mixed with honey. The dally use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condi tion of the general health, better com plexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it is, that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but, on the contrary, great benefit. A Buffalo physician, in speaking of the .benefits of charcoal says: "I ad vise Stuart's Charcoal Losienges to all patients suffering from gau in stomach and bowels, and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat I also believe the liver is great ly benefited by the daily use of them they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and altho i:i some sense patent preparation, ,yet I believe I g«t more and better Charcoal In Stuart's Charcoal Lozengres than In any of the ordinary charooai tablets."

Next Session of Legislature Will Enact I,aw Enforcement Meas ure ot Some Kind MARSHALS BILL IS IN DISFAVOR Believed Plan Will be Adopted of Giving Attorney General More Power—State Teachers Would Take Superinten- dency Out of Politics—Certificate Law Favored. Special to Tlmes-Rcpubllcan. Des Moines, Jan. 4.—At the next session of the legislature the agitation of the temperance question may be re duced to the question between the state marshals bill and giving the at torney general a sufficient amount of funds and assistants that he can do the work. It will be remembered that the state marshals bill got past one branch of the legislature last winter. The advocates of the state marshals club idea bclieVe that the next legis lature will pass the bill. Members of the legislature believe that a more effective and far less ex pensive method could be found by'giv ing the attorney general more funds and more helpers. On the llrst appear ance of the question of law enforce ment. Attorney General Byers used all the influence of his offlcc to enforce the law. The legislature has never given the office any funds for use of the attorney general In traveling about the state or for his assistants to travel about to try cases and enforce the law. Nevertheless Mr. Byers made trips to Davenport and sent his two assistants there to investigate condi tions and start movements that would result in the saloons living up to the law and it has been understood all along that he would start court action to enforce the law If need be. This has thus far been unnecessary. Just now there is an aroused public sentiment on the matter and it is an ticipated that there will not be much call for the attorney general to start prosecutions at this time but it is sus pected that there may be later on. To provide for state marshals would en tail a great cost which the state mar shals law advocates prospose to raise by fees. It is claimed for the other idea that at a very small state expense the enforcement of' the law could be ensured thru the attorney general's of fice without the state taking on the state marshals law in which so many people find objectionable features. In face of the allegation that the county superintendents do not wish it themselves, the state teachers' asso ciation at Its closing meeting yesterday decided that the office of county sup erintendent should be taken out of politics and made appointive rather than elective. Even if the county su perintendents do not wish to legislate themselves out of politics, the state association, iby its endorsement of a resolution yesterday, assumed the ini tiative to having that office'removed so far as possible from politics by fu ture legislation. At a meeting of the county super intendents' section Thursday afternoon this question created much vehement discussion from the opposition. If the matter had been allowed to come to a vote and not quietly killed by a call for adjournment the general vote, it is hald, would have swung the ninety nine members entirely against the question. The superintendents con tended then, as they did on the floor of the general session yesterday after noon, that the offices of other boards, including that of state superintendent, Should be placed In the same plane. The association held that the cases were not analogous, and sustained the first motion despite the protest of the county superintendents. The associa tion would ask that the office of coun ty superintendent be appointive, the power resting in a county board to be appointed by the legislature. The state teachers' association with out a dissenting vote voted yesterday afternoon In favor of the present state teachers' certificate law and ask that no major changes be made. There are several smaller defects which the association will leave to the educa tional commission to change in its work of recodification. The present .office of State Superintendent Rlggs was indorsed and no attack was made on the law enforcement. The Hon. Henry Sabln offered the resolution for adoption. A law is also asked by the associa tion providing for the minimum wage scale for teachers In Iowa and an in crease for teachers' salary based on experience, success and scholarship. The state teachers' association may not be held during the Christmas holi days again. By a change In constitu tion yesterday afternoon that part making this compulsory was changed and the selection of such time and date left to the executive committee! with the statement of the association against a winter holiday date. Believing that the best Interests of the high schools of the state could be served by state aid, the association yesterday voted to ask the legislature not to have the proposed agricultural high schools supported by state aid, but leave the matter of agricultural training to the direction of the high school receiving of such aid in fur nishing an agricultural1 department. While there Is pending a bill before the federal congress which proposes to give to each state a proportionate aid for installing agricultural high schools, the association believes that, such a maintenance would mean but a. state tax eventually and that it was a re version hack to state aid and ask for no divisional resources. For a third time In the history of the association a woman was elected to the office of state -president. The report of the nominating eommitte was adopted without change and includes: President—Miss Abbie -S. Abbett, Cedar Rapids. First vice president—Principal S. L. Thomas. Council BlufTs. Second vice president—County Sup- N '"V erintendent E. J. Hook, Decorah. Third vice president—City Superin tendent K. lilodgett, Atlantic. Secretary C. H. Heroggie resigned his position as secretary of the associa tion, and his successor will be chosen by the executive committee. He was elected, to the office last year ami would have held the office for three years. Professor F. F. Almy, of Grln nell, was elected to the junior member ship of the executive committee in place of Dr. F. 15. Bolton, whose term expired under tho three year rule. 13efore adjournment tho association adopted a number of resolutions as tlie report of the commltteo on resolutions embracing all of tho points adopted separately by tho association, and were: Resolved, That we, the members of the fifty-third annual session of tho Iowa State Teachers' association, do hereby express our appreciation to the executive committee for the unusually excellent program provided, to tho newspapers of the city of Des Moines for the full and accurate report of the proceedings of the association, and to the local committee, tlie music com mittee, and other citizens of Des Moines who have leht their aid so ef fectively toward making this meeting a success. TV.ut tho best Interests of the schools of Iowa demand that teachers' insti tutes bo supported at public expense ini'l not by a system of fees'as at pres ent, and that teachers receive their regular wages for attendance at such l:oituutes. That since we believe any division of our educational resources would prove a serious detriment to the cause of secondary education In our state, w« are opposed to the establishment at the present time of separate technical high schools in Iowa out of state funds. That we recommend the enactment of a law providing for a minimum wage for teachers and for an Ihcreaso In this wage graded according to the teachers' experience, success -and schola r.«h!p. That we recommend amendment to the present truancy law as follows: T) make compulsory the employment of a truant officer by the board of di rectors of every school corporation. That we declare ourselves in favor of making the county superintendence an appointive instead of an elective office. Resolved, by the State Teachers' as sociation, that we heartily approve the present law for the certification of teachers, as wise In it's conception, and as tending to raise tho educational standard of our state: that we also commend the efforts of our state de partment and our educational board of examiners to give the law a wise, ef fective and reasonable interpretation.

Mason City, Jan. 4.—Tho Milwaukee shopmen employed here are In receipt of the information that they are soon to be put on the eight h9ur per day schedule, with three shifts of men fol lowing each other during the twenty four hours.

The names of the men who will be placed under arrest are Nelson Walker, Ed. Lee. Andrew Blakey and Jim Sniith. These men have been of the law compelling force of the county for sev eral years, and during their time the Joints have thrived at Buxton. An in vestigation from the county attorney's office found many Joint keepers who were anxious to get from under the burden of paying bribes for Immunity, and they gave such affidavits as to cause the filing of the informations. .Montezuma News.

Former Secretary of tlie Treas ury Argues in Favor of Elastic System SPEAKS TO DES MOINES BANKERS Currency That Will Contract and Ex pand Automatically the Need of the Present Defends Roosevelt as Not the Cause of Recent Panic—Many Contributing Causes. Special to Times-Republican. Dos Moines, Jan. 4.—Hon. Leslie M. Shaw, who knows a few tilings about finance, addressed the bankers' club of Des Moines last night on tho cur rency question, having como out from New York for that purpose. Others thun bankers were privileged to hear the former secretary of the treasury's speech. The opera house was crowded, many standing In the galleries even at the close of the speech, which consumed more than an hour and a half, and hundreds were turned uwuv. Secretary Shaw did not touch poll lics in his address, but devoted himself to the discussion of finances. He out lined the many causes which led to tho financial stringency—there was no one cause in his Judgment—and outlined his plan for an elastic currency per mitting an expansion of perhaps $400, 000,000 in time of emergency—this ex pansion to bo by currency guaranteed by tho government and differing In no way fromv the ordinary Issue except that It would bear 6 or 6 per cent tax, a condition guaranteeing its withdrawal when not needed- President Roosevelt was vigorously commended by the former cabinet member. When he declared that the nation would never outgr.iw the ben efits arising from tho enforcement of the law by the present administration, the great audience vigorously cheered the sentiment. Secretary Shaw said that the nation had been given the right man always In crises—the right man in the revolution, iri tho 60s, in the 90s when Cleveland, abandoned by both parties, paid no attention to pub lic sentiment, in '97 when the rem nants of things were gttiered In the most glorious prosperity the country ever has known, and in this period wheni the people have come to know that there Is no king but the law and the law must be obeyed. Every senti ment in this utterance was enthusi astically applauded by the big au dience. The speaker'© address was filled with allusions and pat stories which kept his hearers In excellent good hu mor though money troutJes were un der consideration. When he came to discuss in detail the schemes proposed for making the currency more elastic, he said he supposed that :aothing would be done by congress because each man has his own plan and has no patience with any other. Someone once told Evarts that Sum ner didn't believe In the Bible. "Of course not," said Evarts, "he didn write it." Whereupon the secretary, demol ished the other suggestions for elastlp, asset and emergency currency, and with the remark that having disposed of the plans he had not written he would outline his own. He developed his own idea of the way to remedy the one defect in tho American monetary system. He said In part: Some have attributed the panic to the spirit of speculation which the prosperity of the last ten years has encouraged. Of course wo would not have had the panic but for a preced ing period of prosperity. No doubt, therefore, that tho spirit of specula tion has been a contributing cause, but it has not been the cause. In proof that the business of the country ha3 been conducted conservatively I cite the fact that failures have been very few in deed. MerohantS| must have been in most excellent condition, factories must have been prudently conducted, banks must have been sound or wide spread ruin would have marked the panic of 1907, which is generally con ceded to have been the severest the world has ever witnessed. Whether industrial stagnation will become as widespread and chronic as that which followed the panic of 1893 remains to be seen. I do not think It will. The panic of 1893 wal over in a few months, tho industrial revival was long delayed. At the first smell of smoke the people lost heart, and some of them lost head, but they subse quently sat on the sidewalk for four years and complacently .watched the conflagration. In my judgment the panic of 1907 is practically over. I wish I might predict no disastrous ef- Reglitered. U.S. Pat. oft 0c"*.' ,4-tS. ""njLjfr-i? r. cots evidenced by labor unemployed. Tho United States has witnessed several financial panics, each followed by a period of depression, but It has never witnessed one except on the heels of threatened or accomplished financial or economic legislation. I will not take your tlmo to prove this state ment. iet those who doubt Its verity rend llio record. Others place the responsibility for what wo have witnessed to defects in our currency system. 1 am supposed to be about as pronounced In my views on that subject as any, yet 1 am cer tain that the causes to which 1 have referred would have produced some effect had our currency laws been the most perfect lu tho world. We might have escaped a panic, but not a very considerable amount of business de pression. .In other words, if our cur rency had\ been as elastic! as that of other groat commercial countries, tho disastrous effects would have, been very greatly reduced. Much can be said In praise of United States money. Each and every dollar is worth 25.8 grains of gold, for each and every dollar can be exchanged for gold. No doubt exists as to any one of our several forms of money. Tho question of genuineness Is the solo consideration which need interest the holder. The solo weakness of the sys tem Is its want of responsiveness to tho needs of commerce incident to sea sons and trade conditions. During summer months, while crops are growing, and business men are en joying their vacations, the demand for money is reduced to tho minimum. The farmer lays aside his. surplus utensils of commerce—his grain sacks —tho railroads place on side trucks their surplus utensils of commerce— freight cars—and banks and business men use no more checks and drafts than the needs of tho hour require. Ninety-five per cent of the business oi" the country is done with checks, but the remaining 5 per cent exceeds $1, '.£50,000,000 per annum. Tho volume of checks used in July is probably 40 per cent less than in December, but the volume of our money never contracts. SVRie plan should be devised to insure some measure oresponsiveness to the dtmards of trade. I have many times used the illustra tion of leading a horse behind a bug gy. Those who have had this experi ence have found it convenient to haye a few feet of slack, otherwise they have felt the knot in the end of tho halter when passing over rough places. We have a very large volume of money, all of which is at all times in use. We are leading our enormous and unequalcd commerce, therefore, at tho extreme end of a very lone monetary tether. During the last five years we have frequently felt the knot, and now it seems to have slipped from our grasp. Every bank In every large city has suspended money payment. Such a catastrophe when at the height of our prosperity, with a crop worth $10, 000,000,000 just ready for market should be Impossible, and It Is Impos sible In any other commercial country. This weakness Is no new discovery. It has been recognized for years. Vol .ume after volume has been printed, setting forth this one defect, bills in tended to be remedial have been in troduced by the hundred, speeches have been made by the thousand, bankers' conventions have passed reso lutions innumerable, and yet nothing has been done, and nothing is likely to be done until we shall have experi enced a few more of these dire calam ities. Why this delay? The answer Is easy. While ninety-nine out of every hundred recognize the defect, not ten out of a hundred can be made to agree upon a remedy. The divergence of opinion among bankers and supposed experts Is more marked and irrecon cilable, If possible, than among lay men. No plan has yet been suggested that is not fraught with objectionable features and the best way to reach a conclusion is to eliminate the impos sible and the Impracticable, and see what remains. All our great commercial competi tors have large central banks. We have experimented with institutions of this kind, but thus far they have failed to satisfy the demands of the people. President Jackson's veto of the bill renewing the charter of the United States Bank was the most popular act of his administration, and has re mained the most popular to the present time. Still there are many who think our redemption from danger lies in such an institution. I recently read an Interview by a United States senator from a trans Missouri state, in which he declared dangerous any plan which was made to depend In the remotest degree upon the comptroller of the currency, or the secretary of .the treasury, or both combined. He then proceeded to ad vocate a central bank to be controlled he said by the government. He did not say that he would keep congress in session to direct its administration but I submit that if such an institu tion Is to be controlled by tho gov ernment probably it will be attached to the executive branch and if so then certainly the comptroller or the sec retary of the treasury, or both com bined will have somewhat to say. Pos sibly a commission appointed by con gress, or by the executive, or a board of governors, in some way created would (Continued on Fifth Page.)

TRUTH AND QUALITY appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent suc cess and creditable standing, therefore we wish to call the attention of all who would enjoy K°°d health, with its blessings, to the fact that it involves the question of right living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best each hour of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute to that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, but as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present truthfully the subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won the appoval of physicians and the world-wide accep'tance of the Well-informed because of the excellence of the combination, known to all, and the original method of manufac ture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only. This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of— Syrup of Figs—and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Well-Informed of the world to be the best of natural laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna—as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs—and to get its beneficial effects always note, when purchasing, the full namf of the Company California Fig Syrup Co.— plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for—Syrup of Figs—or by the full name—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna—as—Syrup of Figs and Elixir cf Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. and the same heretofore known by the name Syrup of Figs—which has given satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout the United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price of which is fifty cents per bottle.

EASTERN OFFICE R. J. Shannon, Manager, Brunswick luilding, New York, N. Y. GOO HELP THE POSTMASTERS. While Secretary Shaw refused to discuss personal politics with the newspaper inen Thursday, he did find time to utter, one truth which of great importance. He mentioned that republican leaders were mindful of the fact that the party has a fight on Its hands this year to carry the general elections. Few voters at large realize the full significance of this statement. It means, if it means a-nything, that the republican nominee must be the iklnd of a man wiho can tbe elected at the polis or else Bryan will be the next president, and God help the postmast ers. It also means that no man publicly •known as a reactionary, an anti Roosevelt man such as Secretary Shaw has demonstrated himself to be, cart stem the popular tide if nominated. When a man like Shaw or Cannon shout their standpatism from tho house tops, sneer at rate regulation, primary election reforms, and go to explaining that the railroads can't borrow money because of the two cent fare laws, it is something more than ridiculous for them to ask the repub lican party to make them the nominee for the next campaign unless they are willing to admit that the present is a good time for the republican party to commit political suicide. And in that event, again, God help the post masters. NON POLITICAL SUPERINTENDENTFS. The State Teachers' association in voting itself in favor of removing the office of county superintendt of schools from the list of elective oofflces and making it appointive advanced toward a needed reform. The office does not belong in politics and any sensibly conducted movement to separate the two should receive commandation and support. Capable, efficient superinten dents with the faculty of organization are needed over the county schools quite as much as over those of city wards. Had it gone farther and in cluded the state office it might have been within the bounds of reason, tho the latter office has always been fairly well filled in Iowa. However, as to the county superintendency there is no doubt of the need of a new deal, one that will afford better organiza tion of the state as a whole and permit the carrying out of a general system of education. ,V The office of county superintendent has been political trading stock too long. Under the present system many good men and women have beon elected to the office, and it has oftun •been pawned to maike a sheriff or a county clerk. The county superintend ent has considered himself and his county complete and has felt too little responsibility as an Integral' part of a state-wide educative plan. Of la.te years %ve have progressed rapidly to ward a better and broader system. The recommendation of the State Teachers' association is another step in the right direction. ROEBLINGS'S MOVING DAY. The decision of John Roebling, the millionaire son of the Brooklyn bridge builder, to abandon his resi dence at Asheville, N. and give away his magnificent mansion there nearly complete to the Home Mission board-of the Presbyterian church, is admitted frankly by Mr. Roebling to be due to the recent vote of the place for prohi bition. He has epent ten years in Asheville and has put half a million dollars into his estate adjoining Bilt more, the Vanderbilt establishment, but now «ays that he will not live in a town that abridges t*v*.^\n^:i./?Tr^«*'»--V iv*, personal liberty in this way. He speaks of the harmony and good feeling that has characterized Asheville and of Its hospitable and progressive citizens all "working to gether to make this the great resort town of the south." Then continues: "Now there has come a discordant note. A strange philosophy is being preached among us. We are told that grown men are unsuited to be the judges of their own, personal habits. To drink alcoholic liquor is not wrong per se from any point of view. Therefore to sell such liquor is not wrong per se. Prohibition is an at tempt to declare a thing wrong which is not wron^." (Mr.-Roebling will And many to agree and disagree with him in his conclu sions as to alcoholic liquors. How ever this point seems to have been decided by majority sentiment in Asheville, and not a part of the lis cussion. The point Is that Mr. Roeb ling is going to move unless he can lie a majority In himself. He is goinjr to be horse or not play, vote the dollars his father made against the franchises of -the people of the community, or quit. He lias lived in Asheville ten years and spent a million, but that doesn't give him a license to dictate public action more than a ten-year residence at a million a year in Iowa Would put lnm in the place of the "U spa-i.i.s* if- J/i' jr 1 »"a-. ,f legislature. He is muddled in the American plan of government. That Is all. It really looks as tho Mr. Roebling would have to move or become a cit izen and take his chance with other citizens at tlie polls. Even Asheville rebels at being told how to vote by a man who has spent a million of his father's money. "ASSIMILATING" PORTO RICO. A plan, or perhaps a discovery by experiment, in the military occupation of Porto Rico seems tc1 offer opportun ity in the Philippines. In Porto Rico two battalions, or eight companies, of native troops at an annual cost of $150,000, are maintained by the United States. The higher officers of the force are all Americans, and those under the rank of captain are mostly Porto Rlcans. The enlisted men are all natives of the island. It Is pointed out that this force has been most ef fective, not Dnly dn keeping the peace, but as a civilizing and industrial in fluence. The men serve out their time and go home with an education of dis clpline, white man's ways, and respect for labor and a desire for the fruits of labor. The native police among the Amer ican Indians learn the same lesson and teach It to their tribes. The army is not the best school for a young: white man whose opportunities are in finite in a v/hlte man's country, but it is an excellent educator for a mest. He learns things. While In the serv ice he-must live like a white man and when he goes home his education counts. It looks like a good thing. If it works well In Porto Rico It should work Tvell in the Philippines. The appropriation should be increased and extended. The first lesson for a sav age is discipline. Topics of the Tines How does it arrive that the Des Moines Capital failed to print a text of the Interview between Shaw and Cum mins and Byers. Has it crossed grapevines since the Conger inter view? Remember Julian Richards? Well, Julian is out for Perkins and Lafe Young as delegates at large to the republican convention. The Iowa Teachers' association has elected a woman president. An Iowa schoolma'am may hold the title of "president" but she's a queen just the same. It is the duty of the Des Moines paper, whatever may- be the color of Its eduitortal opinion, to fairly reflect in its reports the news of the state.— Sioux City Journal. This is true. Good newspapering calls for the square deal. Now let Uncle George go over the Journal files of the last gubernatorial campaign and make the application. He might ,in cidentally take a look at the present fashion of serving up political state news by his Journal. If the average man was panic stricken whenever his stock of cur rency got 'below the reserve, life would become a perpetual panic. The area planted to broom corn in Oklahoma in ISO?, according to the last report of the state board of agriculture, was 140,284 acres, and the yield 280, 000,000 pounds. The area planted to this crop in Kansas in 1906, as given iby the state authorities, was 23,597 acres, and the yield 10,715,665 pounds. New York has discovered that over $50,000 worth of valuable articles are left in the cabs of tihe metropolis every year. See what it costs to get into a cab condition? a cab condition. IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES. "Senator Allison, grand old man that he is, does not live under a spe cial dispensation of the creator," points out the Waterloo Courier. "He is not exempt from the operation of Deific law. He must die the same as all, and because some recognize this fact and try to make the best of it, should they be called digrepectful toward age, should they be maligned as possessing brutal instincts and prejudices against the infirm? It hardly seems fair that they should be so criticised. They harbor no enmity or ill will toward the venerable senator. They appreciate his past, but they feel that his use fulness is sufficiently impaired to warrant his removal. They would be glad to see this come about upon his own volition." "If you were a farmer and wanted a good man to taJce care of your busi ness, would you hire a man over 70 years of age?" inquqires the Mason City Times-Herald. If you had a man past this age in charge of your busi ness, would you feel that you were get ting as much out of it as tho you had a young and vigorous man in charge?" "It is patent that the time has ar rived in the state of Iowa, as well as in many other sections of the coun try, when the saloons and saloon in terests have got to toe the mark as regards an observance of existing statutes or may be put out of busi ness entirely," declares the Rockford Register. The limit of endurance has been reached, and patience would no longer seem to be a virtue. If the sa loon interests are wise they will con sult the barometer of public senti ment and thus avoid a storm that In the end can only be disasterous to themselves." Observing that the Cedar Rapids Republican insists that Garst divide with that organ the honor of having secured the enactment of those meas ures which are made the basis of Garst's claim to the governorship, the '4.%. %^'t 41 «^S-/ YV ,pp -iK of.. Tintes-llEjmMtam, TOarslialltawit, The observant Oskaiuosa Times has registered a vow that henceforth the Times will support no candidate for office,, either in city or county, who does not support the Times." Belle Plain Union suggests "the Re publican would more speedily estab lish its claim to a share of the honor were It to name the date when it gave support to any of the men responsible for the legislation in question." Commenting on the statement from the state superintendent of schools in Iowa, giving tbe results of one year under the new teachers' certificate law, the Wavcrly Independent says, "It does not reveal anything alarming. Wc suspect that the severest criticisms of the new law were made by people who "know it all" and don't care what they talk about." "Senator Dolliver's proof of Gover nor Cummins' written pledge not to be a candidate against Ser.ator Allison has not appeared as yet, and some move on the part of the Fort Dodge statesman Is in order," suggests the Osage Press. t'M III I •I 1 I I I LOOKER-ON IN IOWA Laurel, Jan. 4.—The Christmas truilo tills year was unusually large In the larger towns and unusually small In the smaller towns. This for three rea sons. Firstly the roads were In splen did condition, the weather like spring and a ten to twenty mile drive some thing of itself to be enjoyed. So the big towns had a benefit. Secondly, the stocks of goods In the larger towns were never so complete before, and thirdly, because the advertisers in the larger towns used printer's ink, used It In the newspapers. In some of the stores In Marshall town when they closed at nearly mid night Christmas eve, nearly of the shelves were literally empty. As one man said, they looked us tho they were struck by lightning. The writer has been asking some questions of the merchants of Grinnell and Marshall town, and finds this fact. The big ad vertisers in some cases sold more goods of a certain kind to customers from a nearby small town than they did to their home trade. To illus trate, White, Black and Jones, big ad vertisers with a big stock of cloth ing, sold more suits of clothes in one day to customers from Nextown, than they did to home tirade. Everybody in Nextown seemed to come to their store on that day. Smith, Black and Jones now remember they "ran an ad" in the daily, semi-weeklies and county weeklies, making "a leader" of a cer tain make of clothing. It lead. Speaking of advertising the busi ness men of Marshalltown never be fore had anything equal to the recent magazine supplement. On the out side tihe writer hears: "I never knew before there was so much manufact uring done before in Marshalltown.' "I knew there was a concern there making but had no Idea they employed so many men." Again, out side of the state, where the writer sent copies, have questions been asked: "What's your population?" Have other western states "such residences and streets?" This from a down east ten derfoot, "Mr. Blank asked me to write you if any copies were for sale, the' price, and who to write." Another man asks are all of the business men of Marshalltown young men? One trav eling man had a stranger walk up to him in a railroad depot, ask If his name was not Smith, representing the XYZ company, gave him a small order then and there, and finally enlightened the traveling man by saying: "I rec ognized you by your picture in that magazine the business men got up." And now if the expenditure of a few thousands of dollars for one town so clearly shows immediate and .lasting results, why not encourage the plan talked of, of the state of Iowa going into the "write up' business. Nearly all of the southern and western states have been for years taking away hundreds of our best citizens. We have virtually "sutUet' up" the Da kotas, Minnesota and northwestern Canada. We've added to the popula tion of Missouri and Texas. All by the use of printer's ink, ably assisted by the railroads and their land seekers' literature and low rates. If the next legislature will appropriate $100,000 for the purpo.se'of advertising Iowa it will come back to the taxpayers ten fold. If thought best to spend such an ap propriation thru the State Agricultural Society, well and g-ood, only before they spend a penny let them hire an advertising man. Some man that "knows how," and pay him a good sal ary. The raijroads outside of Iowa can be made partners of such a business. Land seekers' excursions from Maine to Iowa, even from Illinois to Iowa. Tell them of our hundred bushels of corn to the acre selling at 53 cents a bushel. How many readers of this col umn know of, or will believe such a story. But it happened in Iowa in 1907. Tell them potato stories of Grundy county, cabbage stories of Butler coun ty, watermelon stories of Muscatine county, onion anecdotes of Davenport, hog stories of Marshall county, cattle feeding in Poweshiek. Mention the farms of Iowa where they cultivate soil on the top of the ground, and dig coal under the same ground, in either case paying for the farm in three years. Tell them that an airship land ing in Iowa anywhere in the state lim its is only nine miles from a railway. Tell the world we ride for 2 cents a mile, but have got to build a lot of trolley lines, because even now we want to go sooner. Mention our cli mate, especially the early winter of 1907, when farmers were plowing two days before Christmas, with only an inch of frost. Also that at State Cen ter on the Christmas table were violets picked the day before. Boom Iowa with Iowa's public money. yO The Birds' Christmas Sheaf. A great sheaf of grain is stuck up in every Norwegian garden on Christ inas day. It Is a Christmas gift for the birds. Norway's streets, the day before Christmas, are crowded with carts full grain from the country. All grain for the birds, its buying and selling ?onstitute a big business. It is odd and pleasant to think of the thousands of Norwegian carts trundling in from the outlying farms on Dec. 24 for the birds' benefit, of 1 •i: v. **p inuKi Iowa Newspapers AN OI/n-FASIIIOXKI) MOTHER. I Rev. Bosley in Chelsea Independent.) Mother is dead! Sad are the words. Mother is dead! The gentle smile with which she greeted all is hidden from sight in the grave the busy hands are folded the loving heart is still. But from the depths of our grii we thank God It was our good fortune to hrrve had an old fashioned mother. Not a woman of the period, enameled and painted, with her great chizon, her curls and bustle: whose white, jeweled hands never have felt the clasp of baby fingers, but a dear, old fashioned, sweet voiced mother, with eyes In which the love light shone, and brown hair long since turned white, lying smooth upon her faded cheek. Those dear hands, worn with toll, gently guided our tottering steps in childhood and smoothed our pillow in sickness: reaching out to us in yearning tenderness when her sweet spirit was baptized in the pearly spray of the river. Blessed Is the memory of an old fashioned mother. It floats o'er us now like the beautiful peffumo of the woodland blossoms. The music of other voices may be lost, but the entranc ing memory of hers will echo in our soul forever. Other faces will fade away and be forgotten, but hers will shine on until the light from Heaven's portals mayhap shall glorify our own. U:he!l,n^P mfn,.prU!sea. b'^y our thoughts wander back to the old homestead and in memory we cross the well worn threshold and stand once more In the low. quaint, room, as hal lowed by her presence, how the feel ing of childish Innocence and depend ence comes over us. and we wish we could again kneel in the molten sun shine streaming thru the western windows—just where long years ago. we knelt by mother's knee, lisping "Our Father." How many times when the tempter lured us on has the mem ory of these sacred hours with moth er's words, her faith and prayers saved us from sin. Years may fill great drifts over between her and us, but they will not hide from our sight the glpry of her pure, unselfish love. Farewell, mother! We know that your sleep will be tranquil, and your awakening glorious. SUGGESTED TO DOLLIVER (Ames Intelligencer.) In .Senator Dolliver's next speech In the senatorial campaign he might Include the things which Senator .Al lison has done, the maintenance on river lines for figuring freights. Du buque and Omaha have enjoyed dis criminating rates against interior Iowa. .Senator Dolliver, who ihas great Influence himself, has not been able te give Ft. Dodge and central Iowa points a rate that would permit the Infant industries to compete with those at Dubuque, Omaha or other parte of the country. The railroads baiys 'been permitted to have a com mon rate for Dubuque and then an other rate for Omaha. Shipments for the west from Chicago consigned to Ft. Dodge have been paying the Omaha rate and shipments for the east have paid the same rate as tho billed and loaded out of Omaha. Shipments going west and from the west have paid the Du buque rate'. Senator Allison, as the leader of tho senate, has permitted this discrimination to continue against all of .his constituents except those in :his own longitude. Senator Dolliver has been In con gress since 1888 when he defeated that, grand old soldier, Major A. J. Holmes. He has been helpless to bring about a reform. This might also be said of Col. Hepburn, who for years has 'been j»*" _JL» i»l -H L^ *f &fi Jfamiatg 4 Jd03 the big grain market that is held on the bird's account alone, and of the joyous surprise in the Norwegian birds' hearts when on Christmas day, all over that frozen, bleak, sno\v-( ov- at the head of the important committee which has in charge the regulations of railroHds. His -constituents like Senator Dolliver are located In central Iowa. Col. Hepburn entered congress in 1881. The reform in transportation mat ters was not undertaken until the pressure from Iowa and the interior states became so strong that the lead ers found it was too strong to longer resist. This work is not yet completed and will not be is Brother Payne's program is carried out of "putting on the brakes." Central Iowa cannot establish a protective tariff against other com peting points. Central Iowa points, however, have a right to expect from the men -who are claiming that there shall not be any tariff tinkering, an equal show in railroad rates with the full grown concerns which endeav ors now to kill off the •competition of the real infant industries of Cen tral Iowa. Senator Dolliver might tell how Senator Allison has succeeded in de feating the strenuous campaigns of himself and Col. Hepburn in their, efforts to equalize rates. If the principles of the Dolliver bill in 'the senate and the Hepburn bill in the house were good in 1907, this ought to ihave been good in 1888, or in 1873. If, as Senator Dolliver claims. Sena tor Allison is responsible for all the good things we enjoy thru his lead ership he must be logically responsible for some of the things we have not enjoyed. HOW ABOUT IT? (Waverly Independent.) A few years ago a perfectly reliable and honest "woodchuck" in the "Big Woods," said to this commentator: "I'll take the Independent four years if you'll take in payment one cord of strictly body, hard maple wood to be delivered rft your home any time be fore the end of the four years." We accepted this proposition and before the end of the four years he brought the wood and took a receipt showing that he had paid for 'the Independent four years. If Bro. Meyer's ruling is good law then we can nevermore en ter into such contracts with any of our friends of the woodchuck variety. Oh, bosh! Bro. Meyer. Somewhere we have read that printers have certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happi ness, besides a little fun with our friends in the "Big Woods!" Four years ago a good /armer who is vnrth at least S20.000 said to us bantenngly: "I'll give you $6 for the f*# All 8orta -Aii 4, ilk* oUqas —4 &&A Independent four years, provided you will wait lor vour pay until the end of the lour years. W'o accepted his proposition, and a few weeks ago the good farmer sent his check for $G, •red land, they obtain without trouble with a request that we do so some more, nil the *ood they can possibly desire. and we sent him a receipt In lull from I Jan. 1, 1 HO4. to .Ian. 1. 190S, and told him wed come again. Now, Bro. Meyer, if we continue in the newspa per business forty yea:s longer we are liable to do such tricks some more, and what are you go ng to do about it? But to just show that we are not belligerently inclined, and that we are still willing to compromise with you, I'ro. Meyer, we'll promise never again to take soft soap on subscription. I For Sunday Reading.:: of Opinions. Hill III! tl 11H «nnn* Judge on Sunday Observance. Judge Wallace in. his statement says: "It is a mistake to suppose that the Sabbath is purely a religious institu tion, and that its enforced observance is for the benefit of the church. The Sabbath was ordained before man had fallen or tnere was a. church or the need for a Redeemer. By divine ex ample the Almighty ordained it by resting from the work of creation on the seventh day and he impressed for ever upon it its sacred character by hallowing .it. The Sabbath would be with us hud sin never entered the world. "Hence, when we think logically and historically, it is easy to perceive how it is that a desire for a day of rest is a latent intuition with i.he laboring man. The tyranny of 6,000 years of human avarice has not eradicated it. Justice (•"leld, so long a member of our United States supreme court, was right when as one ()f ireme Judfes of Cali_ "fC I fornla. he declared that Sunday laws are enacted primarily for the protection of labor. We cannot wonder, therefore, that men who work for wages in all the departments of human industry are sending in the unanimous indorse ment of the labor unions to which they belong. Nor should we wonder that avarice" fs turning its guns upon .the friends of Sunday observance. It can on Sunday glut Its ravenous maw with more of the wages that have been paid the laborer than on any other three days of th'» week combined. The Sun day theater, as rich a harvest as the Sunday saloon, is pnof of this fact. "It seems to me that as the abuse of the liquor traffic is aiding the causc of prohibition, so the open and de fiant desecration of the Sabbath Is op ening the eyes of men to the Import ance of Sunday observance. Then, too, the truth contained in the statement of Daniel Webster that 'the Sabbath Is the bulwark of our liberties because It is the bulwark of our morality' is pressing itself upon the attention of patriotic Americans. "When the grand jury was convened here in September last over 600 .retail groceries were open on Sunday. Now they are closed. Every barber shop in the city is closed. Retail merchants have closed, except a very few, who observe some other day as Sunday, as permitted .by our statutes. The 2,000 places where cigars and tobacco were formerly sold are obeying the law, excepting now and then a clandestine sale. Only three pool halls and the aters defy the law, smd two of the lat ter have recently closed. The credit for this result is due largely to a grand jury composed of fearless, mag nificent men." Dr. Abbott's "Encyclical." Following the example of the pope. The Outlook publishes an "encyclical" on "Traditionalism vs. Modernism." Dr. Abbott, the presumable author, calls attention to the pope's recent pronouncement, and also to Father Tyrrell's "Much Abused Letter," and Invites his readers "to compare the three documents with one another and with' the teachings of Jesus Christ, and come to theli* own conclusion." Recalling that the pope has character ized modernism as the "synthesis of all heresies," he suggests, tho with mod esty, thr.t he has attempted to define "the synthesis of all orthodoxies." He proceeds: "Religion is not a series of dogmas Imposed on man oy authority. Belief in such dogmas -is not -faith, disbelief in them is not inlldelity. Religion is not a set of rules for the government of huma.n conduct. Obedience to such rules is not religion, disobedience is not irrellgion. Rsligion is a life springing up within the soul—the life of God in the soul of man. If this definition -seems too vague, then let us say that it is Cie life of faith, rev erence, conscience, hope,, love or, to borrow Edward Everett Hale's defini tion, religion is to look up, not down forward, not backward out, not in, i(nd to lend a hand. "Religion is natural—as natural as spring. Religion is supernatural—as supernatural as spring. Religion is life and life is bcth natural and sup ernatural, for it is the natural mani festation of the supernatural. There is something in nature more than ap pears :his something Is supernatural. •There is something in humanity more than appears, this something is sup ernatural. To be in -harmony with this power who is more than the sum of all the powers, with the life who is more than the sun of all the living, is religion." Dr. Parker's "All Souls' Church." A man occupying such a position In the community as Dr. Parker occu pies could not preach the sermon which he preachcd Sunday morning without its being subject of general comment, even if it were preached as '.his one was at ii communion service when the audience is presumably that of his own church membership.

Dr. Parker wishes a better name for his and other churches and of this we speak elsewhere, but his theme was a broader church platform. He would have a free church instead of merging a few minor sub-divisions, he would have all churches welcome ot* an equality he would have creeds and covenants rewritten and simpli fied the communion table should be open to all who wish to attend bap tism should be administered as 'may be desired, the rite itself and its meth od being non-essentials "joining the church" should be less formal, and other modifications in worship should come in—all tending to greater indi vidual freedom. This may Bhiver some readers, but it will warm the hearts of ten to one that is disturbed and it will strike a welcome note to a multitude as it breaks down the barriers of formal ity.

Reports ot Money Getting El forts in Central Association Not Assuring NO LEADER FOR BURLINGTON Egan Wants to Sell But No One Has Offered to Buy at the Fancy Figure He Has Named John A. Flynn Dead—Other Gossip of the Sports Reports, which give the intimation of initial difficulties In raising money in -the various towns of the Central Assentation, the old Iowa State League, would seem to show that all things are not running smoothly in the new organization. Two or three of the towns are busy trying to raise the money *o finance their teams, so far with only indifferent success. At Bur lington affairs are in a rather uncer tain condition. A leader for next year Is lacking, and the wise Egan, the perpetual thorn In the side of the old league, holds his franchise at such a fancy figure that he has not yet found a buyer. Whether Egan will return to manage the team is not known but it Is not thought likely. Last season Burlington announced with much display of black-faced type that Burlington was the only town In the league that made any •money at the game. The disinclination of Egan to return to that city would seem to make the truth of that state ment open to question. As a matter of fact neither Burling ton nor any other town or city of the old league ever made a cent out of professional base ball. Certainly they did not when In the Iowa league, with a team salary limit of $1,100,' which was openly and wantonly disregarded. It cost this city approximately $30,000 to last four years, and the opening season It was first and the second year it was second in attendance, v:: There Is a chance that Abe Attell and Owen tyoran, the English feather weight,.who fought twenty-five rounds to a draw at San Francisco this week, will meet in a finished fight Moran is willing to meet at 122 pounds four hours before the fight, and if Attell will meet the weight the go will prob ably toe arranged. Moran claims that the extraordinary effort he had to put I forth to get himself down to 120 re duced his staying qualities in the re cent battle. At that he was overweight two ounces, which cost him $100 an .ounce, paid to Attell ibefore the fight began. Attell will be wise If he con siders this latest proposition cautious ly, for with the odds of 10 to 7 against him Moran still was able to break even with the Californlan. John A. Flynn, once famous as a National league pitcher, died at his Lawrence, Mass., home this week, at the age of 42 years. Flynn was a •member of the champion Chicago team of 1886.

FORESTS FALL FOR PRINT PAPER Cost of Wood Pulp $26^)00,000 and Still Increasing. Washington, Jan. 3.—Today there is general complaint among publishers that printing paper is constantly grow ing dearer. In the middle west many local papers are raising their sub scription price 50 cents in order to pay for the paper. From the time when Gutenberg first used movable type, made of wood, to the present day of metropolitan papers, some of which consume the product of acres of spruce in a single edition, printing has in very large degree depended upon the forest. In the face of a threatened shortage of timber, the amount of wood con sumed each year for pulp has ia- ii -2 JSCWVJ "V If creased since 1899 from 2,000,000 to 3, •500,000 cords. The year 1906 marked ail increase of 93,000 cords in the im ports of pulpwood, the highest aver age value per cord for all kinds, and a consumption greater by 468,053 cords than that of any previous year. Spruce, the wood from which in 1S99 three-fourths of the pulp was manu factured. is still the leading wood, but it now produces less than 70 per cent of the total. Since 1899 poplar, which for years was used in connection with spruce to the exclusion of all other paper woods, has increased in total quantity less than 100,000 cords, and is now outranked by hemlock. Pine, balsam and cottonwood are used in much smaller amounts. New York consumes each year over 1,250,000 cords of wood in the manu facture of pulp, or more than twice as .much as Maine, which ranks next. Wisconsin, New Hampshire. Pennsyl vania and Michigan follow in the or der given. Sixty per cent of the wood used in New York was imported from elsewhere, and even so the supply appears to be wanH»y, slr^e Mm total consumption for the state shows a small decrease since 1905, whereas the other states named have all increased •their consumption. Other states Im portant Sn the production of pulp are Massachusetts, Minnesota, Ohio, Ore gon, Vermont, Virgiinia and West Vir ginia. The average cost of pulp delivered at the mill was $7.21. The total value of tlio wood consumed in 1906 was $26,400,000. The chief Item determin ing the price of paper is 1'he cost of pulp. An example of the Increased price of paper 'Is found In the case of a publisher of a dailly In fhe middle west, wfto recently paid $1,200 for a carload of paper. The same quantity and grade of paper cast a year ago but $800. The chemical process of paper mak ing, which better preserve the wood fiber, are gaining over the mechanical process. In 1899, 65 per cent of the wood was reduced by the mechanical process in 1906, less than 50 per cent. All Importations of wood for pulp are from Canada, and comprised, in 1906, 789,000 cords, nearly all of which was spruce. Four and a half million dollars' worth of pulp was Imported in 1906, a slight falling off from 1905. SHAW TALKS CURRENCY (Continued From Second Page.) be placed in control. If a board of gov ernors, from what walks In life I ask would they be selected, and what would be the Influences likely to con trol them? Where shall the central bank be located? If In New York, what relief need Spokane and Des Moinei expect until after the needs of the many larger and more important cities have been supplied? I woncler if anyone has considered the amount of capital that would be necessary to enable one large central bank to supply the extraordinary needs of twenty thousand commercial banks, or the extraordinary demands of com merce in forty-six states. A central bank to be effective would require branches In every Important business center. If these branches were to en gage In ordinary commercial banking, existing institutions would of neces sity suffer, and if they did not en gage in commercial banking, they would ha,ve little business to do dur ing the major portion of the year, and would find it difficult to pay expenses, not to mention dividends. I have found considerable sentiment in favor of branch banking in cities like Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago and St. Louis, but the advocates thereof have all opposed allowing a ibank to establish branches beyond the confines of the state in which the parent insti tution is located. When I have asked the reason, they have expressed the fear that New York would place branches in their city. What they seem to want is the privilege of putting ibranches in other cities, and security from invasion from New York. •The Canadian plan has many ad vocates, but it will not woidt advan tageously as an adjunct to our pres ent system. The Canadian plan would be a failure tout for the branch bank feature, and it would also be a failure if there were any considerable num ber of commercial institutions in the dominion,: other than the thirty or forty banks of issue and their branches. In order to have the plan effective, it must be adopted in its entirety, and not as an adjunct. The plan which to my mind presents the fewest objections is to allow our national banks to issue a limited vol ume of supplemental currency, subject to a tax of 5 per cent or 6 per cent during ttye period of its .maintenance. I deem it important that the supple mental currency shall be identical in form with some money regularly in circulation otherwise .its presence would alarm, and do more harm than good. I deem it important, also, that its ultimate redemption in gold be guaranteed by the government. I realize that this Is illogical, but the American people have been schooled to ibelieve in government guaranteed money, and any departure therefrom would meet with very general dis trust fatal to commerce. I, therefore, deem it wise to supercede the state ment on the present bank note "this note is secured by United States bonds" with the statement "this note is guaranteed by the government." With this change the supplemental currency to be issued by the national banks can be identical with that which is secured by a deposit of bonds. So generally, so wellnight universally sol vent are our bankipg institutions that theigovernment would be taking slight risk to guarantee the ultimate redemp tion of all this supplemental currency and the proposed tax would many fold cover the risk. Those who think the government should insure deposits can find no ob jection to such a guarantee, for a bank note is almost identical with a certifi cate _of deposit, payable to bearer on demand and it would never be parted with or paid out by the bank except in exchange for something ibelieved to be equally good. If the bET1'f5 were permitted to issue to the ext-?nt of an average of 50 per cent of the capital graduated, accord ing to the size of the cities and towns where the banks are located, the ag gregate volume would be approxlmate lv $400,000,000. The great champion of free silver is not recommending that the government shall guarantee all National bank deposits, aggregating over $4,000,000,000, and this without "-A IS 1.* -A,sl V^ compensation of limitation or restric tion of any kind or nature. The plan which have suggested contemplates as a condition precedent to the is suance of any uncovered currency the consent of the •comptroller. This con sent will naturally be with-holden from such institutions as are not conserva tively managed. The tax would many fold cover the risk. Thus the public would be protected, for the notes would bo guaranteed by the government the existence of the supplemental cur rency would not cause alarm, for It would be identical in appearance with tho ordinary bank note it would spring into existence where needed, and when needed, and it would be promptly retired by a deposit of a like amount of any form of money, with a sub-treasury, whenever the rate of interest became normal and the demand therofore ceased. In other words It would be elastic for It would contract as well as expend. German Humor. The tendoucy of the German comic papers to employ continuously the same characters as "producers of mirth" Is the subject of an article In a Berlin paper by Ludwlg Bauer. The writer mentions as the most conspicu ous of the funny figures the absent minded professor whose habitual um brella losing proclivities have made generations laugh. This figure had Its origin at a time, he says, when the man of letters was a helpless person In the active world—a dreamer dwell ing In realms away from tlje actual and therefore blind to his surround ings. In this form he hus been rep resented in the comic papers. But Germany, he thinks, not the professor, has been and Is being caricatured. The professor today must be a wide awake man, for science Is no longer an Is land. These are not the days for sleep and for dreams. Another abused char acter is the lieutenant who, having no foe to fight, is always shown as mak ing conquests where Amor has com mand. The old maid Is another of the stock figures, and oue of equal Impor tance Is Mr. Newlyrich. Of the latter It is said: "He is always full of fear and suspicion. He knows that he has been misplaced, and he sways from Bide to side like a timid rope walker. This makes him really funny, and we must laugh at his antics." Too Slow to Be a 8oldier. In a room on the top floor of a large factory a boy was amusing himself by going through the bayonet exercise with a long handled bruBh in lien of a rifle. His boss, coming quickly upon him, gave him a box on the ear for wasting his time. The sudden blow caused the lad to lose his balance and fall down the hoist shaft, but fortu nately he kept his hold on the brush, the handle of which, getting across the shaft, broke his fall and enabled him to grasp the chain, down which he slid In safety. The boss was horrified at the effect of his action and rushed breathless and gasping with fear down the eight flights of stairs to the base ment, expecting to find a mangled body for which he would have to ac count. He was, however, just In time to see the lad drop on his feet un harmed, so, recovering his self pos session and his breath, he exclaimed: "Want to be a soldier, eh? Well, you're too slow for that. Why, man, 1 can walk down all those stairs quick er than you can fall' down the hoist shaft"—London Answers. Tintea-Hepwliltmn IXferaltalllmm^ foniM, January 4 i908 Toward the Polo. Ice eight feet thick on the ocean and snow falling even in summer—such is the weather experienced In the polar regions. When the air is dry and still It is remarkable how low a tempera ture can be borne with ease. One ex plorer tells us that with the thermome ter at 9 degrees it was too warm for skating. The summer weather in this region is, moreover, in some respects pleasant and healthful. Within the arctic zone there are wonderfully col ored sunrises and sunsets to be seen. They are both brilliant and impressive. But the nights—the nights are monot onous and repelling. A rigid world buried in everlasting snow, silent save for the cracking of the ice or the wail of the wind. Travelers in these re gions experience many discomforts. The keen air causes their skin to burn and blister, while their lips swell and crack. Thirst, again, has been much complained of, arising from the action of the low temperature on the warm body.

A series of expeditions constituting one of the most comprehensive explora tions of unknown lands ever attempted by any Institution was recently an nounced by the Field Museum of Nat ural History at Chicago, says a Chica go dispatch. To blaze the trail for ex peditions that will make detailed in vestigations George A. Dorsey, curator of the museum's department of anthro pology, will' circle the globe, visiting many practically unknown regions and mapping out the lines of inquiry to be undertaken. Of equal importance is the announcement that the museum has set out to give to the world of science the first comprehensive exposi tion of the characteristics and customs of the people of Tibet, the forbidden land. For this work Dr. Berthold Lau fer, a distinguished Chinese scholar, recently of the faculty of Columbia university, has been engaged. He will soon sail for a stay of three years in the country of the lamas.

Now Amphitheater For Olympic Games Will Seat 80,000 J'eople MARVEL IN SIZE AND BEAUTY The Stadium at Athens or the Coliseum Would Bo Lost Within It—Rhode* Scholar* In England May Compete For the United State*. Nothing more extraordinary as a con structive feat is io be seen just now in London, England, than the city with in a city which Is rising as rapidly as Aladdin's palace on the open spaces of Shepherd's bush, says the New York Post. Astounding advance has been made in the last few months in the erection of the huge constructions that cover 140 acres of what was desert land less than twelve months ago. Eight spacious halls, each 400 by 70 feet, are already outlined In steel, iron and concrete, for many external decorations have already been affixed to the fireproof structural walls. Two hundred and fifty thousand square feet of floor space have been roofed over for the machinery hall alone. Other pal aces are rising rapidly for education, fine arts, music and woman's work. In its- present condition, with only the two great segments finished at each end of the mighty ellipse, the Olympic arena irresistibly reminds the spectator of the Coliseum as that ven erable monument of imperial Rome now looks In the splendor of Its ma jestic ruins. Bnt the Coliseum, with all its tiers of arches, could be easily contained within the completed arena of today. The Stadium of modern Athens, According to reports from the vari ous countries interested In sports in all parts of the world, the assembly of athletes will be the greatest both In quality and quantity that ever com peted for international honors. France, Germany, Greece, the United States and many other nations aside from England and the British colonies will be represented by a host of entrants, and the winner of any special event can well be termed champion of the world In his particular specialty. The Olympic games will be held un der the auspices of the British Olym pic council. The American committee, which has been appointed in accord ance with the wishes of Lord Desbor ough as president of the Olympic coun cil, is a representative one* the honora ry president being Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United States: Caspar Whitney, president, and Julian W. Curtiss of Yale, treasurer. No athletes of the Uulted States will be permitted to compete in the Shep herd's bush stadium through an Indi vidual entry. He must be a member of the American team and entered as such by the American Olympic com mittee. Only native born or natural ized Americans, either residents of the United States or having migrated to foreign countries within recent years, will be eligible for the team. While it is not likely that any of them will be used, the United States has quite a few athletes In England Itself, who In case of necessity or In the event of them showing such class that they would be entitled to places on the team can be called upon to compete under the stars and stripes at the Olympic games—the Rhodes schol arship men. Under the ruling of Lord Desborough these men are eligible. None of the Rhodes men are world beaters, but in intercollegiate meets they have been placed well most of the time. CHARITY INDUCING SPOOK. Ghostly Appeal After a Raffle That produced Result*. .When John Hlckey left a raffle at a house in West Caldwell, N. J., on Christmas' morning and started for his home in Little Falls he carried slung over his shoulder three turkeys and four geese which had fallen to his fortune, says a West Caldwell special dispatch to the New York Times. The others at the raffle had asked him to leave at least two of the fowls to be sent to the homes of poor families, as they had done, but Hickey grinned and said his wife had a good appetite. Just before he departed the others lapsed into ghost stories. So as he walked down the overshadowed road near the carpet mill his nerves were not so very steady. As he reached the old mill dam and heard the drop, drop, of the water Hickey felt he was not alone. He turned about quickly. As he did so he felt a touch on his arm. A white object stood close to him. "Give to the poor!" said a hollow voice. The object vanished. Hickey began to run, but the white thing kept close behind him—so close that it was able to touch him several times. "Give to the poor!" repeated the voice. Hickey faced about and swung his bundle of fowls at the shape. It van ished. Then he began to ruu again. Still the thing followed. Whenever Hiekev stopped the ghost would touch him and then vanish, although Hickey could not have seen even a white ob ject very far off, the road lying be neath trees that meet overhead. After numberless efforts to shake off his pur suer Hickey stood. "Give to the poor," said the gljost, •'or I'll drive you to your grave." JQickey threw all of th^. turkeys Mrs. Beats and all, could be built within the space of grass that forms merely the center of London's latest marvel. The am phitheater of Nlmes or Aries could be nldden away at one end of the Shep herd's bush arena and scarcely inter fere with its proportions. Some 80,000 people will be able to Bit around its spacious seats and watch the greatest athletic gathering the world has ever seen. and I/^SsCr?^ geese In the ghost's direction. "Here, take the things," he said and ran back to West Caldwell, where his adventures excited i«lrth among those still at. the ratlle. When It was d.nylight Hickey went home without discovering any solu tion. After he bad been in his home for some hours Mrs. Hickey found two turkeys and three geese lying on the rear veranda. Hickey explained to his wife, who hadn't heard of the ghost. "I won those birds at the raffle. There was one more of each, but I left them to be given to the poor." "John has had a change of heart," Hickey told her neighbor. "He was scart to death," said the neighbor. And then Hlckey's wife heard about the ghost NO RENT FOR 1,998 MONTHS. Campaign of Neapolitan Tenants Who Are Leagued Against Landlord*. The Naples householders have form ed a league with the object of obtain ing a reduction of rents, and they dis covered that the best method to force the landlords to accede to their de mands was to stop the payment of rents. The league numbers about 2.000 members, none of whom has paid tent for the last six months, says a Naples (Italy) correspondent of the New York Sun. The landlords first attempted evic tion, but they failed, as the police de clared that they were unable to evict 2,000 families who meant fight and ex pressed their willingness to stand a siege. Next the landlords brought suit in the civil courts. The case came on In due course of time, but none of the householders was present or represented. The land lords rejoiced at the prospect of an easy victory. Suddenly a woman walk ed in. She said she was one of the 2,000 members of the league and wanted to defend her case. The judges have to accord a reasonable period of time to the defendant in order that he may prepare his defense. This period is generally a month. Accordingly on the woman's demand the case was ad journed a month. The month passed and the case again came on for hearing. None of the de fendants was present The court then decided to hear the case In their ab sence, but Just then another member of the league came in, repeated' the Identical performance of the previous hearing, and again the case was put off for another month. For the next 1,998 months a member of the householders' league will repeat the trick, and the case won't be heard before that time. Meanwhile the mem bers continue not paying their rents. STORK'S CHRISTMAS JOKE. Left Wax Doll at Jersey Home Where Real Thing Was Wanted. Both Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Andrews, who live in Montgomery street, at Bloomfield, N. J., heard a knocking at the front door Christmas morning at the same time, says a special to the New York Times. "Get up, Sam," urged Mrs. Andrews after the knocking had gone on for soirfe time. "Get up. It may be a Christ mas present." Mr. Andrews looked out of the second story window, asking the dark figure below what he wanted. "Here's a package for you," was th« answer. Laying down a big bundle, the figure hurried away. Mr. Andrews went swiftly downstairs, with his wife making hasty preparation to bring up the rear. He struck a match, pulled back the cover and yelled up to his wife: "It Is a Christmas present. Ifs a baby." The Andrews home Is childless, and there was great joy In the voice of the head of the house. All morning the neighbors crowded in to see the baby that had been left on the doorstep, Just as babies are in New York city, on the stage and in books. Alarmed 'by the exceeding quietness of the Christ mas present, some motherly old soul, In a /great worry, grabbed up the little figure and began to investigate It from top to bottom. Well, it was a big doll that's alL Bloomfield Is a great place for the hu morous. MUSEUM IN TOLSTOI'S HONOR Wife of Russian Philosopher Supervis ing Its Organization. Countess Tolstoi is in Moscow super vising the organization of a museum In honor of her iiliustrious husband, says a St. Petersburg cable dispatch to the Chicago Tribune. The museum will contain a great mass of letters re ceived by the count, many of them be ing from America, one from John D. Rockefeller, asking the Russian philos opher's opinion as to the best way to employ his money. It will also contain Russian docu ments connected with the old count's activity on behalf of the famine strick en in 1891, besides an album of por traits and photographs of the author of "War and Peace," most of them made abroad. The famous painter Repin has just finished a great por trait of the count, which, after figur ing in a perambulatory exhibition that will visit the principal towns of Eu rope, may finally be placed in° this museum. No Need of Cotton Famine. The cotton spinners of the world are needlessly alarmed lest the ability of the south to Increase her cotton pro duction will not keep pace with the In creasing number of spindles and looms, says the Southern Farm Magazine. Governor Hoke Smith of Georgia in a recent article or interview says that his state alone if necessary could pro duce as much cotton as Is now being produced by the entire south. The same is true of Mississippi and more than doubly true of Texas. The labor supply lfi absolutely the only difficulty that prevents the expansion of cotton production in the south to almost any limit that might be desired. The 8udden Sawtog. The so called North Carolina poplar, a tree believed bj, some to be a dis tinct form of poplar and by others to be merely a stamlnate cottonwood. has the reputation of being the fastest growing tree in America.

MARSHALLTOWN, IOWA 4 Twelve Months Show Notable Increase Over the Year of 1906 LICENSES ISSUED TOTAL 335 Only One Was Returned Unused—Oc­ tober and the Fall and Winter Months the Popular Marrying Time —Bride's Ages Averaged 24 Years- One Was 15 and Another 67. The year 1907 must have been a prosperous one for the preachers and others who perform marriage cere monies, for according to the licenses issued in the clerk's office there were many weddings In the county during the twelve months. The records of the clerk's office shows that 335 licenses were issued during the year, an3 it is presumed that all of them were used, excepting one that was returned by the purchaser. This is an increase October, the month of golden rod, autumn leaves and chrysanthemums, took first place among the months for the number of its marriages, which to taled forty-two. December was sec ond with forty. June, got third with thirty-eight, September was fourth with thirty-three, November fifth with twenty-eight, April sixth with twenty seven, and the other months came aft er in the following order: February, twenty-six January, twenty-four March, twentjn-four May, eighteen August, eighteen, and July seventeen. What's in a Name, Perhaps there is nothing after all In a name, but the comparison of those which were included in the year's mar riages are of relative interest for com parison. The crop of brides repre sented every letter of the alphabet but "U." The grooms did even better, for with them not even the "U" was left out, altho there was but one "U" groom, The "M" was the popular family name initial among the brides, there being thirty-two of that class. "H" and "S" were two other common family name initials, there being twenty-nine be longing to each of this class. The Smiths, and all those others whose family name begins with "S," led the way with the grooms. Bride's Ages. The average age of all the brides of the year was 24 yfeara and 7 months. The ages ranged all the way from 15 to 67, but there was only one In each of these extreme classes. The question of ages may prove of interest to those women who have nev er entered matrimony, as It tends to show the chances of marriage, baseS on a comparison of the relative ages of the year's brides. Of the 334 brii'js of the year, 116 were between the ages of 15 and 20, which would tend to show that the chances of marriage .it those ages is about 35 pec- cent. Reck oning on thesame basis the percentage of the brides between the ages of 20 ond 25 went down to 31 per cent. Be tween the ages of 25 and 30 It w?nt si ill farther down, to 13 per cent. Six per cent represents those betA'?eti 30 and 40 3 per cent those between 50 anc 60, and only seventy-five one-hun dredths of 1 per cent those over 60 years of age. MISS GRACE PADMORE WEDS. Becomes the Bride of Dr. LeRoy Ward Lewie, of 8henandoah. retty wedding was celebrated today" at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Helen S. Padmore, 405% North Fourth street, when Miss Grace Padmore became the bride of Dr. Le Rcy Ward Lewis, of Shenandoah. The ceremony was performed at 3 o'clock, by Rev. I. B. Hix, of the Congrega tional church, in the presence of sixty guests. The ring service was used, and just preceding the ceremony Miss Oda Closson, of Kansas City, sang "Love's Coronation" (Aylward.) The bride wore a beautiful gown of white mescaline, trimmed in imported lace, and carried roses. The color scheme thruout was pink and white, and was very prettily ar ranged, carnations, ferns and smilax •being used in the decorations. Follow ing the ceremony a light lunch was served, those waiting upon the guests being Misses Ruth Balch, Marie Shove, Maud* and Edna Swlngley, and Esther and Jessie Hole. The bride, who has called Marshall town her home for the past three years, during which time she has taught one year at Albion and the other two In the public schools at Ames, has many warm friends here. Dr. and Mrs. Lewis were students at I **4 J1 sW £r •V, "V '.f l«4*T I oi fifty- eight for the year before, whin the total was 277, and an increase of twen ty-five for the year ending witli July 1 last. June Left Behind. June, boasted of in the past as the •month of marriages, bride's roses and weddings, is what might foe considered a "has been." It has been left behind in the matrimonial race, and no longer has the distinction of being the month of the greatest number of marriages. During the year just ended it ranked a poor third among the twelve months. In fact all the months of summer, ac cording to the past year's records, are not the months of marriages. Among them June ranks highest, July gets last place, and May and August were tied for tenth. ,Love Laughs at Money Stringency. As love laughs at locksmiths, so also the same sentiment, judging from the year's records, cares naught for banks or banking commercial upheavals or I money stringency. It was during Oc tober, November and December that I the country woke up to find money scarce, yet not one mite of difference did this make in the marriages. In fact just the opposite resulted, for the three months making the last quarter of the year furnished very nearly one third of the marriages for the entire twelve months.

Also ask Manager Busby of the Odeon, if he considers that advertising in the T.-R. pays. This week Mr. Murphy was disappointed in filling a date that he had counted on. He appeared in Des Moines on Wednesday night, and when he learned that he would not be able to fill his next succeeding date, began at once casting about for an open date in some town not too far from Des Moines, and not out of the route for his Friday night stand. Man ager Busby offered the desired date. Murphy reached town Thursday fore noon, with no billing or newspaper advertising in advance. The T.-R. columns were eagerly sought, display advertising, and a story in the news columns were purchased. The result was that the paper reaching city homes at o'clock brought Mr. Mur- I pliy a good sized audience, and one that was remarkable. Mr. Murphy in a brief curtain talk, expressed his pleasure, his surprise and his thanks The commendatory notices appearing dally In the press of Iowa, and the Timcs-Hepuhlixctn, TtforsftalllflxinT jxuc? Numerous letters written Marshalltown business men by friends from distant points, all telling of the merit of "Mar shalltown Illustrated," are a source of pleasure to every citizen who helped in its production. By means of this work Marshalltown i.s being advertised today as she was never advertised before, and the results will continue to be come apparent for many months to come. According to a well known trav eling man of the city. Marshalltown Is In need of more good homes for renting purposes. Who will build them? Good homes are, and have been at a premium in Marshalltown for some time. Xew people are awaiting homes, and there promises to be much residence building next season, in sptye of the fact that many were erected during the past summer. More houses, more population—A Greater Marshalltown. A "Don't Knock" "Knock the Knocker" motto is in circulation just now which seems to please many who hear it but a much more definite appli cation of the sentiment could be made in Marshalltown. Our local factory and jobbing Industries, for instance, at tempt to sell a small portion of their product in this city and several com plain that our retail merchants actual ly work against their home industry. One linn which employs some forty people in Marshalltown and whose pay roll would satisfy more than one monthly grocery bill at every grocery store in town, is discouraged in its loyalty to the city and actually dis heartened in its booster enthusiasm be cause of what seems to it most unfair and unfriendly treatment on tlie part of the retail grocers. This firm will, of course, prosper without one dollar's worth of trade from this city but its members are in a position to do much in building up Ihe city if they could get friendly encouragement from our own citizens. Another concern, a factory, while it makes no complaint, reports that Its salesmen have to hus tle harder and sell closer to place Its goods with Marshalltown people than to sell them a thousand miles from home. Another employing institution which spends many thousands of dol lars annually for high priced labor in this city, finds itself the object of envy of most of the business public. Instead of a friendly appreciation of what It is worth to our town its pro prietors In their business intercourse while they get the patronage by sheer force of merit, are greeted with a spir it which seems to want to tear down instead of help boost up. Even the Iowa Central, which pays out $360,000 in wages In Marshalltown annually, does not get the unitejf and loyal pat ronage from our merchants which it deserves. When reading the "Knock the Knocker" sentiment let's make a personal application of it and b"V't each other's business without fear that somebody will make more money than we do, or build \ip a bigger business than ours. Big business is what makes a big town by making more business for everybody else.« MARSHALLTOWN ILLUSTRATED. Grand Junction Globe Would Like to Go to Marshalltown to Live. From the Grand Junction Globe: We have received a copy of the Marshall town Times-Republican boom edition supplement. It is one of the finest editions of the kind that we have had the pleasure of examining. It demon strates the fact the business people of Marshalltown appreciate the Times Republican and that they believe in Marshalltown. It Is the best kind of advertisement that could possibly be gotten out for the city. An examina tion of this supplement would almost make one think they would like to go to Marshalltown to live. Goose, Not Pig, Is Stolen This Time "Tom, Tom, the piper's son, Stole a pig^nd away he run." It was a goose, this time, and not a pig, biit if Tom, Tom the piper's son, or anybody else's son, who stole a goose belonging to C. O. Frazer, 216 Player street, last night is caught, dire vengeance is ljkely to be meted out to him. For Frazer is "sore," and his "soreness" was the means of setting a constable on the trail of the thief. Frazer was mad when some of his chickens were stolen a few weeks ago, and when, a little later, some mis creant killed a goose belonging to him, it did not serve to improve his con dition of mind. His feelings may be imagined when a fine, large, plump goose was'gone this morning. The constable was summoned, and he traced the missing fowl, at least he says it is the same one, because of certain "ear marks" of identification It has, to Swift Co.'s plant. A stay of execution was demanded by the constable to save the fowl's life while the search for the thief Is in progress. PLEASING RECITAL. Miss Mcintosh and Ralph Hix Greeted by Large Audience. Miss Mcintosh and Mr. Hix were both well known to Marshalltown peo ple, and the fact that their appearance In joint recital was greeted by a church full of people was the best evidence of appreciation they could have asked. Miss Maude Mcintosh, instructor of voice at the Sisters of Bethany Col lege, Topeka, Kas., mezzo soprano, and Mr. Ralph Hix, assisted In a few num bers by Mrs. E. R. Lay, at the piano, gave a concert of voice and pipe organ mus|c his surprise and his thanks for the advertising medium that could do this. County Treasurer Cooper believes he is taking safe ground In his action concerning collection of the interurban special tax. The tax has been assessed, and is now collectible, but as it has been explicitly understood that unless the road were built and in operation by July 1, 1908, the tax would not be payable, and -no move has as yet been made to start building operations, Mr. Cooper does not feel like calling upon tax payers to pay in their money and then possibly have to pay it back to them again. The special assessment, at best, cam not help but result in an endless amoent of work in the treas urer's office. Congregational church, wag unusually entertaining to all who attended. Mr. Hix proved the pipe organ to be a high class instru ment for concert work, and Miss Mc intosh pleased everyone with the mu sic she had selected. Miss Mcintosh aroused the most in terest in her group comprised of Den za's "A May Morning" "At Nightfall," by Metcalf Richardson's "Love's Di lema" "Thou Are Like Unto a Flower" (Chadwick), and "Harmony," by Del Rigo.

McBride WilhDrug Co. A His ^jST^^gw VIIHE LEAD Victory in Ohio Reveals Great Strength of Secre tary of War FORAKER MEN IN A ROUT Early Date of Primary Is Distinct Vic­ tory for Roosevelt's Man Fight Shifted to the Congressional Dis tricts Foraker Leads a Forlorn Hope. Washington. Jan. 4—Kven the wann est friends of the other candidates ad I niit that Secretary Taft hus taken long step forward as a result of ttie ballots by the Ohio state central com mitten yesterday. Most people knew that Secretary Taft had a. majority of the state, but they expected Foraker to make a much belter showing than he did, because it was assumed he was lighting I his political life and would put forth a supreme effort. The one great triumph for Taft was the fixing of an early date for the prl mary. His campaign has been ham pered hitherto by a feeling in other suites that he ought tirst to make good In Ohio before he appealed for dole gale strength elsewhere. The early primary was the great thing for which the Taft men wer fighting, and it was the one thing above all others which Senators For aker and Dick least desired to hav happen. The convention was put a long way after the primary for the express pur pose of giving the state delegates chance to work on the delegates. This was necessary because in point of fact, the primary on Feb. 11 will concentrate attention on presidential candidates at once, so that candidates for state offices naturally have to have the convention postponed until March 3 and 4, or three wet'ks after the pri mary. It Is conceded now that Taft will have the four delegates at large from Ohio absolutely instructed for him. This is all the state central committee could possibly undertake to do. The fight for district delegates will have to be carried on, district by dis trict. There is scarcely any doubt iti the world that Taft will have an over whelming majority in the state con vention. lie will not only be able to dictate the passage of instructions, but his forces can control the election of the four delegates at large, who will sure ly be Taft men. thus shutting out both the Ohio senators from participation in the convention at Chicago. Under the rules adopted by the re publican national committee, delegates may be elected in districts by primary or otherwise, ns the individual state laws provide, but districts, according to the doctrines established In the re publican national convention of 1880 at Chicago, are absolutely independent of all control by the state convention. Each district is an independent re public. Its two delegates are not" bound by any instructions. They are bounfl only by the Instructions of their own district convention or primary. The fight in Ohio will now be trans ferred directly to the districts. The Taft men will endeavor to get all of them if possible, and wherever they have sufficient control will Insist upon positive instructions for Taft, requir ing the two delegates to vote for the secretary of war as long as he Is In the field. Good judges of the situation In Ohio say that Foraker was a great deal stronger in the state central commit tee than he will be in the districts. The vote in the committee was 14 to 7 in favor of Taft. This is a two thirds majority, assuming that the committeemen accurately represent the sentiment in their districts. It is well known, hevvever, that many of the members of :he state central committee were merely component parts of the state organization. They owed their places to Senator Dick, and their allegiance was to him rather than to Foraker. Politicians on both sddes of the fence admit that under the direct primary system, with the issue clearly drawn NAME ON EVEF'Y PIECE JOWKEV'S Chocolate Bonbons Always Delicious—Pure-~ Wholesome—Digestible One Box will make A Happy Home I Every Sealed Package guaranteed Fresh and Full Weight Fancy Boxes and Baskets In exclusive designs—for Gifts THE WALTER M.

J®!? y- A I av "K *l' f3«%$ i"*" as between Taft and Foraker, the sec retary of war is certain to carry a good many more districts than were represented for him on the state cen tral committee. His managers assert that Foraker cannot get over three of the Ohio dis tricts. They are counting a good deal on the fact that most people like to get Into the band wagon before it gets too close to the grand stand. Everybody knows, of course, that Foraker hasn't a ghost of a show of being nominated for the presidency. Even if lie had the en tire Ohio delegation behind liiin he could not expect to get more than a few scattering delegates thruout the rest of the country. His intellectual prominence, the credit he has undoubtedly reflected upon his state, his war record, and the admiration the people have for a lighter might have resulted in his re turn to tlie senate, in spite of the op position of the Taft people. Senator Foraker's open opposition to President Roosevelt, however, has made it technically impossible that he should get any great amount of votes outside of his own state, so that those who support him in Ohio will neces­ WANTED Wanted—A good carriage forging smith.
