honor is proportionately less and which

There is the place of assistant secre-

"Uncle Hod," as they call him out in
his state, has long been very rlch. he
has great lumber interests IN the
Northwest, mines in the Carolinas, In
Mexico and Alaska, and hotels, news
papers and commercial enterprises. But
in each of these he has competent men
who look after his interests, and rem
der him regular and adequate returns.
Mr.. Taylor has been urged to leave
the government service. His family
and his friends and his physician have,
within the last few weeks, Joined in
insisting that he take long foreign
tour for his health. He has just COM
pleted a model home in the fashionable
part of the city, and 1T would seem
that he has everything that heart could
desire.
But Mr.. Taylor clings tenaciously to
this place, and each day looks after the
affairs of the government as they come
before with the same enthusiasm and
care that he would if the interest was
his own. Only the personal friends OF
Mr.. Taylor know why he likes the
place. 1t brings him small emolument,
a sum by the year which hardly repre-
sents the market variations of his pos
sessions in each twenty-four- hours
But idleness and inactivity are buga-
boos to Mr. Taylor. From hrs early
boyhood he has found ceaseless activity
to be his portion. Through his never
ending industry he amassed his present
wealth and made sure of his own flu

idleness he would quickly rust out eAl9
Charles Hallam Keep, the recently

treasury is said to view his annual

he can use in keeping up with the au-

penses of his life in the capital. He has,
secured such measure of success in
commercial pursuits that doubtless she
thought when the place in Washington
was offered him that it afforded an OPP

Washington. May 9.-The eyes of well-in-
formed politicians and others interested
and in close touch with National affairs
will be turned toward Ohio the first week
In June and will res, with great intent
ness upon the Ohio State Republican con-
vention which takes place at that time.
The special object of interest will be a res
olution which Is to be offered by a certain
faction indorsing uneQuivocally President
Roosevelt's administration and his canGi-
dacy for the Presidency.
This will be for the purpose of sidetrack-
ing the boom Of Senator Hanna and throw
ing cold water on that of Senator Fair
banks.
The Foraker faction is at the bottom OF
It. and the resolution itself will be offered
by leaders of the junior Senator's wing. 1t
is more than probable that Senator For
aker has knowledge of the intention OF his
supporters, and that they are acting with
his consent. 1t is even said that he will
be SO familiar with the wording of the
resolution that he will be able to quote
them verbatim before they are read.
The significance of this move may read
lily be seen, and Its calculated results are
not particularly obscure. TO any one at all
familiar with Ohio politics.
In the first place il means the reopening
OF the old anna-Forake feud. That feud
has been an exceedingly vigorous one in
days gone by, and 1t was not until 1896 that
the two factions got together in support of
William Mckinley. Even then such action
was not TO the taste of the Foraker people.
They did not want Mckinley. but the
Hanna faction had complete control in the
State and forced their opponents into line.
This time. however, the Foraker men
think they have the chance of their lives.
By having the convention indorse Roose-
welt they will deal a solar-plexus blow to
the Hanna boom. The fact is that Senator
Hanna himself has been throwing cold wa
ter on his own boom and has declared him.
self as sure of Roosevelt's nomination.
While Senator Hanna is in no position to
offer opposition 10 resolutions indorsing
Roosevelt. his friends are not bound by any
expression of opinion in favor Of the Presi-
dent. and may be counted on to oppose the
adoption of the Foraker resolutions.
This opposition on their part will bring
another important result: 1t will be the
first good test of President Roosevelts ac-
tual strength with his party.
The action of the Ohio Convention will
be an expression for or against Roosevelt,
and It IS needless to say that the attitude
of the Buckeye Republicans In regard to a
presidential candidate has great weight with
the members of the G. o.. p. in other States.
Senator Fairbanks will also feel the touch
of cold water should the Foraker resolutions
pass. as he is a native Ohioan and natural
iy looks to the Republicans there for friend
ship and support.
