As has been said there is to" be no person alities associated with the cam paign that has been planned by the field candidates. Xo one in tends to say aught against Mr. Taft as a man , nor is there much disposition to say that he might not make a good president if elect ed. The sum total of the argu ment against nominating him is that he cannot be elected. It is now being pointed out that , and it will be pointed out with more energy when the delegates all get' heerthat for the following reasons he will be defeated , if nominated : j 1. On reflection the people of j the country will not elect a man whose nomination was dictated from the White house. 2. He will lose the votes of a large number of progressive re * publicans everywhere as-the re sult of the support he is getting in Wall street and from , the trusts and ' -interests" generally. 3. The negro vote of the coun try is against him and will never become reconciled to his nomina tion. tion.i. i. Organized labor is unfriend ly to him and is quietly planning to wage war against him if he should be nominated. 5. His statement about Gener al U. S. Grant on Decoration Jay has offended the Grand Army men of the land , and they may be expected to be lukewarm in the campaign , if they do not refuse to support him. ALL BASED OX FACTS. Now these republicans who are opposing the nomination of Mr. Taft for the above reasons believe every reason thev assign ibsispd on facts. They have faith to be lieve that the delegates to the con vention when they get together here and canvass the situation with the view of doing what is best for the party will spp what a risk the party will be taking in nominating a candidate against whom there is so much aggressive opposition. Prominent representatives of the party there are who believe the first reason assigned for desiring - , ing to prevent the nomination of Mr. Taft is sufficient. M\ny per sons believe too little attention has been paid to the use of federal power in obtaining Taft delegates. It is common knowledge among persons who have followed the events of last year that the entire federal machine , with the presi dent of the United States at the . throttle , has been used in making sure of the election of delegates who would support the adminis tration's candidate. In the south , where the federal officers-holders could not control without running rough-shod over the opposition , rough-shod methods were resort ed to. CHOSEN BY OyfrlCEHOLDKKS. Practically every delegate from the south who is here asking for admission to the convention as a Taft man was chosen by a bonven- tion of office-holders. When it i became necessary I'the admin- ( istitation to resoii to extreme t \ measures Frank H. Hitchcock was taken from the ollice of first assistant postmaster general and placed in charge of the work of- obtaining delegates in the south. , Why because , as first assistant1 I ! postmaster general , he had apt - t pointed the postmasters down there and was the one man. who could successful.7 assemble them in conventions for the purpose - pose of electing delegates that would come here ready to carry out the administration's bidding. More than a year ago the feder- 'al ' i administration deliberately' | j j started out to gather in the 244- i delegates from the eleven southern states for Mr. Taft states that j do not contribute one electoral vote to the election of a republican - , can president , and yet have within - in one vote of 23 per cent of the votes in the national convention. The federal administration's activ-i i ky in the south makes the contest ? ! [ I I from down the e doubly interest- ' ing. if the national committee' ' should stand by Mr. Hitchcock's ! word if it shall say that it was right and proper for the office holders to dictate the election of delegates Mr. Tat't's chance for obtaining the Domination will be greatly enhanced. TillVALT , STREET ALLIANCE. Unle.-s all signs fail delegates from the progressive republican state ? of the west will want to know all about the Tafc alliance with AVall street before casting ! their votes in the convention. It' ' is inevitable that there must be some explanations.Vh.y is the Standard Oil company , the Steel trust , every trust , good and bad , now for Taft ? It will , in the opin ion of good judges , take a lot of j explaining to convince the western J delegates that a deal of some sort ! was not made. In Xew York it is common talk that it was the presi dent's promise to "take the teeth out of the Sherman anti-trust law3' that brought some of the big ones over. . ' The administration failed to per-1 suade congress to extract the said i teeth , but from all accounts Mr. | Roosevelt is determined that the' ' national convention shall , in its platform , promise to have con gress do the extracting at the next session. Somebody carried the. word to the "undesirable citizens1' inXew York that if Mr. Taft should be nominated and elected thv ( the undesirable citizens ) would not be moleste'd during the next four years. There is no doubt about this. And yet , about ' )00 ) delegates were instructed to vote for Mr. Taft because he was the one man who could be depend ed upon to carry out the Roosevelt velt policies. It seems worth while to remark again that some one is being fooled. Is it the "in terests'5 in Wall .street or the pro gressive republican ? ! of the central west and the far west ! Bryan 869 , Votes. The Xew York Herald , in its Monday's estimate of the demo cratic situation , places Bryan's probable strength in the Denver convention at SG9 votes. Of these it classes 567 delegates as I already elected and instructed , 145 las j uniustructed but classed for 'Bryan I ' , and 157 yet to be elected , 'probably for Bryan. ! , The Herald gives Johnson 22 : i votes , Gray 35 votes , and ,82 votes 1 doubtful. Virginia , which holds , its convention today , is classed in . the doubtful list. j i The significance of the Herald 's * | ' estimate is enhanced by the fact , that the sympathies and efforts of that newspaper are frankly anti- Bryan. In making these figures it has simply allowed its honest 'newspaper ' duty to rise superior to its partisanship and desires , and has given the facts , impartial ly , as nearly as it could get them. ] i It takes G72 votes to nominate , I under the two-thirds rule. The : ' Herald's figures , it will be noticed , give Bryan almost 200 votes more than the two-thirds of the conven- tion , and less than 150 against him , all told. T his impartial statement of the real situation sheds light on the purpose of the Xew York World and other plutocratic newspapers , claiming to be ' 'democratic. " that still continue their fight , with vitriolic bitterness , gaainst Bryan's nomination. Shice there is not the slightest hope of defeating him at Denver it is plain that their effort is directed solely to weaken ing him in the campaign. Know ledge of the fact will rob them of whatever influence they once pos sessed among democrats. World- Herald. Mi Of Hamm's Beer is absolutely pure.

There is u tree in Persia to which the name "the sorroAviul tree" is given , perhaps bei-ause it blossoms only in the evening. When the first star ap pears in the heavens the litvtf bud of the sorrowful tree opens , and as the shades oi' night advance and the stars thickly stud the sky the buds continue gradually opening until the u hole tree looks like one immense white llower. On the approach of dawn. Avhen the brilliancy of the stars gradually fades in the Light of day , the sorrowful tree closes its flowers , und ere the sun is fully risen not a single blossom is vis ible. A sheet of flower dust as while as snow covers the ground around the foot of the tree , which seems blighted and withered during the day. while , however , it is actively preparing for the next nocturnal lestivnl. The fra grance of the blossoms is like that of the evening primrose. If the tree is cut down close to the roots a new plant shoots up ad at tains maturity in an in.-rodibly short time. In the vicinity of this eingith'r tree there usually grows another wl ich is almost an exact counterpart oi' the sorrowful rowful tree , but less beautiful , and. strange to say , it blooms only in the daytime. Strong Rocrr.c. The Bank of England's strong ropm is one of the largest in the world. The fount.ition. ! sixty-six feet belo\v the street level , is a bed of concrete twen ty feet thick. Above this is a hike sev en feet deep , and above that thick plates of iron specially manufactured to resist both skill and force. Any one attempting an entrance from above would find a similar bed of concivte. a similar lake and similar plates of iron. The walls are impenetrable , while the dors are one foot thick , weigh four tons each and are made absolutely un- drillable. The Imperial Ottonia.i bank. Con stantinople , had a marvelous steel fort built upon a--water beuing rock , and on top of the rock foundation is a four foot bed of concrete. The height is o\er thirty-six feet , length forty-six feet and width t\ventv-four. The steel walls are surrounded l > y masonry and concrete six feet thick throughout , \\hile the whole comprises nearly thir ty tons of steel. Circulation cf the Blood. t The idea of some .sort of movement 1 of the blood in man suul the lower an imals was possessed liy Aristotle : md oilier Greeks and by the physicians of the Alexandrian school as well as by the doctors and surgeons of the middle ages. In fact , cvmi the village barbers knew of such movement. Cut no uno. not even the wisest of men , had any conception of u continuous stream re turning to its source a cu'culalion in the true ss'nse of the word or of the c "j functions of the heart as ( he motor t power of the movement of the blood j ! until it was demonstrated by Harvey in 1028. I The "Letters cf Junius. " The vexed question of the real au thorship of the/'Letters of Junius" lias . never been'positively settled. Mr. Cha- [ bot's learned work to show that Sir I'liilip Francis was the author of the famous letters , while a strong produc tion , fails of absolute proof. The at- tcMiipt was made to prove that Thomas 10 I'aine wrote the letters , but that , too , failed to convince. The question is still n mystery , though the balance of the evidence is in favor of Sir Philip " Francis. ; > 5. Dad Gets Sarcastic. "Physical culture , father , is perfect n ly lovely.
