VrV YOIIX. June 22. Secretary William
. I:. faft hai written the following; article
1 on his conception of the prealdency for the
eurrr.t laaue of Collier1 Weekly:
In the four yean that I have been a
m-mher of the cabinet I have become fa
miliar enough with the responsibilities and
burdens of the presidency to know that no
no canafford unduly to seek that great
j office. If he la attracted by honor and
i power alone without the hope of being use-i
I ful. he la unworthy of the honor and unfit
for the use of the power. He muat prefer
. for the aake of hla own peace of mind
I never to be president to being a poor presl
i dent. Confident that th platform on which
j he stands Is for the beat Intereeta of the
l nation he la untrue to himself and hla sup
1 porters If he does not fight valiant for
election after he accepts the leadership.
But, of course, he must) draw the line at
any compact which will not leave him free
cf promises and of the control of any fac
tion. President' Dattee Broader.
"The preaidenfa duties, clearly outlined
by the constitution, have grown broader Id
their Interpretation with the growth of the
country. He should be In the prim of
years, health and vigor. The capacity for
hard work Is a better qualification than
genlua In mastering the essentials of all the
departments of. the government and under
going the strain of uselesa lntervlewa. He
should cot look only on those In office but
t othose out of office In all branches of
private activity for Information and opinion
In order that he may arrive at the truth
when he is surrounded by the conflict of
Interest which com to him with the fair
words of the apeclal pleader .
"Jn many 'seasons' tha moat sought attar,
h la tha lonlleat man In tha United State.
Elected directly by tha people aa their rp
' res mttr head, from them. In th sober
! thought ot th majority, ha will get hla

occupation with private affairs may keep

Irhe M should ba always near tha Vee

with the peopl he Is human, and he must
a sic tilr e'.iarlty for hla mistakes. When
they hive ctaied to believe In hla sincerity

clinr'.eaa trek. Once convinced that ha haa
grvtr.ed an I la carrying out their real wlah,
ml hir elated by an outburst of applauea
r.cr Clv:ted by any outburst of censure, he
must jroieed unwaveringly, always by law

popular will.
Three Coaaptcaoaa Examples.
"From Washington he may learn nobility,
fortitude and forthrlghtnese. Lincoln's life
snd speeches muat be his eourca of Inspira
tion wha ha Is misunderstood and he has
t3 atiy to himself "patience and cheer.
It la easier alnce we had Lincoln than It

a standard.
"It remained for Rooeevelt to prove how

"A president at this time has work b

DES MOINES RIVER IS RISING
Flood Ktaa-e Attain Drives Oat Dwell

stream.
DES MOINES. June 21 Not satisfied
with the damage It wrought a month ago.
the Des Moines river has started on an
other 'rampage. Weather Ohser-er Cav
anagh predicted yeaterdav it will reach
a stage cf thirteen feet by Tuesday. The
high water mark of last month was only
11 T feet.
People living In the lowlands again face
the possibility of being driven from their
homes. The river hss not yet gone over
Its banks In Des Moines, but it Is rising
slowly and promises to reach a danger
pus stage even without rain. The prob-
hlllties are that a few more heavy rains
would send It even higher thsn It went
last month.
Exceptionally heavy rains during- the
past week In the upper Des Moines valley
are responsible for the present rise. At
8:30 o'clock last night the government
guage showed a stage of ICS feet at Des
Moines. This was a rise of .4 Inch ilnce
yesterday morning.
LAKE CITY, la.. June 21. (Special.) A
cloudburst occurred near Sac City yester
day at 11 a. m. and the Coon river rose
four feet In five minute. A good many
bridges are washed away and crops along
the bottoms are under water. The Coon
river Is the highest It has been for forty
years.
TOPEKA, Kan.. June 22. The Kaw river
at th 9 o'clock measurement today showed
a decrease of four-tep'ha of an Inch since
the measurement of 5 o'clock Sunday even
ing, when it was twenty feet, the crest of
the present high wave. It is expected to
fall rapidly from no on, however, as no
rains have fallen within the last twenty
four hours In .the uprr watershed. Hard
work constructing dikes with sand bags
saved North Topeka from much overflow.
CORPORATIONS EVADE TAX LAW
New York Comptroller Annonnees Dis
covery of Wholesale-Violations
of the Act.
ALBANY, N'.'T.. June 22. State Comp
troller Martin tl. Glynn announced ' today
that h ha begun an Investigation to com
pel corporation to obey the law regarding
the transfer of ahares ot capital etock.
"The investigation," says a statement
given out by Mr.' Glynn, "has been under
way but a few days, yet the results demon
strate that there has been a wholesale
disregard of this law on the part of cor
poratlona. with the attending loss of a large
revenue to the state."
There are about 75,000 stock companies in
this state which come under the provision
of the stock transfer tax act.
"The books of a large number of stock
companies were examined during th last
week," says the comptroller's statement,
"and In numerous Instances It was found
that as many as , 900 and 400 shares of
stock ot a single corporation had been
transferred and In ,ome- cases the entire
capitalisation of a. company had been is
sued without the payment of a single cent
of tax. In each Instance the attention of
the officials ot the corporation waa called
to the legal consequences for failure to pay
th tax and In every case of noncompliance
found there haa beeh a 'promise thm the
necessary revenue t.t VC1 ' be pur
chased at once. '
"The officials of many corporations plead
that they suppose that a transfer tax Is
imposed enly where stock Is bought and
sold through brokers for the purpose of
speculation and give that excuse for non
payment. That supposition is entirely er
roneous. Every transfer of ownership of
stock is subject to the tax And every trans
fer made without payment of the tax
comes within the operation of the penalty
provided for noncompliance with the law."
CURE OF LEPROSY RECORDED
Loalslana Discharges Inmate
Haa Recovered from the
Disease.
Who
NEW ORLEANS, La., June 22. A re
markable medical report touching on the
cure of leprosy will be presented to the
Louisiana assembly probably this week
by the Leper home of the state of Louisi
ana.
In this report appears the words:
"Dlschsrged cured one.
"Practically well and kept for observa
tion five."
Briefly explained, fhe meaning of these
figures Is that out of sixty-one lepers at
the Loulsana Institution In the pest two
ycara, tlx have been practically cured.
The figures are from the biennial report
of the leper home, where for over thirteen
years this state has provided a place fer
lepers to receive the comforts and . the
skilled medical care which are not as a rule
within reach of such sufferers.
A fact of significance Is that this report
is not submitted to the assembly as Indi
cating that any apeclflc cure for leprosy
has been discovered. It is simply a state
ment of the results which have been ob
tained from giving lepers the same san
itary surroundings that the average per
aon enjoy and an equal opportunity to re
ceive frlst-class medical treatment.

Mr. Patrick S. Byrne of Spokane, demo
crat. In announcing his platform for the
gubernatorial conteat at the coming
primaries, declares he will oppose, prohi
bition, which was favored by the state
democratic party at its recent convention
and will cut loose from William Jennings
Bryan. He will not stump the state la the
Interests of the national ticket, but will
conduct hla campaign upon state Issues
and a platform of his own make. He said:
"I do not Intend to be bound by the
platform adopted by the democratic state
convention, and I believe under the direct
primary law the time Is paat when can
didates will be compelled to make cam
paigns on objectionable Isaues foisted upon
them by party leaders. While It Is prob
able that Bryan will get the democratic
nomination for president, J am positive
that he will not carry the state of Wash
ington. I intend to make my campaign on
state issues alone and not enter Into na
tional questions."

CONVINCED OF LOVER'S DEATH
Miss Elisabeth Bnrna of Chicago Has
HI Body Exhnmed for
Proof.
CHICAGO, June 3 It was disclosed to
day that to convince a fiancee her sweet-
hesrt was dead and that the body of
another man had not been substituted for
him, the corpee of Dr. Henry B. Cragln,
formerly of Philadelphia was recently dis
interred at Rosehlll cemetery this city.
Until Miss Elisabeth Burns of Chicago,
whom the' physician was to marry, had
cloaely scrutinised the features she would
not give up a conviction that the man who
had wooed her was living.
In the physician's last Illness neither
realised the seriousness of his affliction.
Relatives took charge of the body soon
after death. Before Miss Burns saw the
corpse It was burled. The apparent sudden
ness of the. death and burial firmly con
vinced her that the body was not that of
Dr. Cragin, but ot another man Instead.
Parental objection to the impending mar
riage was suggested as a cause for the
doctor being spirited away.
