The Governorship.

There is a general feeling among
Republicans and Democrats that Her
rick will be defeated at the Novem-
ber election. He is in bad odor in
his own party. The disaffection was
such that there was an effort made
10 crystalline the opposition around
Lieutenant Governor Harding and
nominate him, so as to save the party
from defeat. 1t was decided that this
was not practicable, owing TO the dan
ger of even greater disruption, and 1t
was decided that it would be better
10 have him defeated at the election
than at the convention.
Those who opposed Herrick prevail
ed upon the old Foraker faction to
take up the fight and get the temper
of the people. The Developments were
rather startling, as was evidenced
when Herrick and Harding appeared
in Canton on two separate occasions
the first during the campaign last fall
and then at the Mckinley club ban
auet. Herricle met with frosty re-
ception, while Harding was given an
ovation such as few men ever received
IN the city.
When Hanna was living he had con-
troll of the party organization and the
Foraker crowd had to retire. There
was no Hanna machine. He was the
whole thing himself. So that, when
lie died, the party had no leader in
Ohio. 1t has none now. Herrick and
Dick are trying to get control. The
Foraker wing is also trying to re-es-
tablish itself. The defeat of Herricl1
would be his death-blow so far as
being leader is concerned. 1t is un-
derstood that the Foraker crowd will
simply stand from under.
Herrick while trying to play both
ends against the middle, overreached
himself. He gave the Brannock law
his support until the last moments,
when he insisted upon an amendment
that the temperance people claim
robbed tho measure Of much Of its

strength. This raised a howl In or
der to square himself with the church
people he vetoed the pool selling bill
asked for by ohio's horsemen, and
now they are against him.
The Anti-Saloon league is waging a
hitter warfare against Herrick and
will do all that it can to defeat him.
The ministers and the churches are
ready to take up the fight if a suit
able Democrat is nominated. The
business men of the state, and especi-
ally the manufacturers, are not friend
ly because of the excise tax law which
was an administration measure.
None of these opponents are ask
ing that the Democracy nominate a
radical. All they want is man of
good personal habits and whose life
is reasonably blameless. Horsemen
and churchmen, Anti-saloon leaguers
and others, are willing to make COM
mon cause against the governor. 1t
means Democratic success If the right
man is chosen.

A SEA-LEVEL CANAL.

AS result of it's investigation into
conditions at Panama an engineering
committee of the isthmian canal com
mission has reported favorably on
the proposition to construct a sea-level
canal. The committee estimates that
such canal will cost about 100000
600 more than one with locks and will
take five years longer to build.
AS to the superiority of sea-level
canal over one divided by locks into
sections of different elevations there
seems to be practically no difference
Of opinion, says Chief Engineer Wal
lace
A canal thus built, he affirms, "could
be widened and deepened without
interference with traffic, and would
permit of the transit of vessels
through it in the shortest possible
time" Furthermore, the problems
connected with the maintenance, ope.
ration and use of such a waterway
would be much simpler, In Mr.. Wal
lace's opinion, than would those that
must be solved in the case of lock
canal.-New York World.

"Sweetening" Wood.

The newest method Of curing tim.
ber quickly for joiner work, pianos,
ETC., is to sweeten it. The process,
which was invented by an Englishman
named Powell, is described by United
States Consul Atwell, in Roubaix,
France:
Powell replaces the sap of trees
by beet sugar and saccharine, which
acts as a preservative by driving the
natural humidity from the fibres.
Newly felled wood is laid on a wagon.
cite, which is rolled into a huge cyl
inder, the interior of which is provid-
ed with pipes. The wood having been
placed in the cylinder, the latter is
supplied with sugar or saccharine.
Hot water is then forced through the
pipes. The heat boils the sugar,
which penetrates the pores of the
wood. Cooling is accomplished by
cold water forced through the pipes.
The cylinder Is emptied of the sugar
or saccharine and the wagonette is
rolled into a special room, where the
wood is dried by currents of hot air.
After being cooled again, the wood
properly seasoned by the sugar, is
ready for use. It is said not to spring
or gather dampness and to be proof
against destruction by insects.

SECRETARY TAFT
TO VISIT M|KADO
MISS RooSEVELT'S PRESENCE
WILL BE EMBARRASSING.
Japanese Will Seek to Extend Royal
Courtesies to Her, and There
May Be Jealousies.

Washington, ID. C., April 19.-Sec-
retary Taft has definitely decided to
visit Toxic while en- route to the Phil
ippines and pay his respects to the
Japanese ministers of foreign affairs,
and war. He will make an official
visit of ceremony. although desiring
that no formal invitation be extended
by the government of Japan.
Efforts have been made to have
Mr.. Taft accept lavish hospitalities at
Toxic, but he has declined to be-
come the guest of the Japanese gov
ernment. He gave the matter long
consideration. He fully realized that
his visit would be construed as show
ing friendliness for the Japanese, not
withstanding protestations of neutral
ity from the United States. He deter
mined to visit Toxic, make his calls
on the ministers and pursue a course
just as if no war was in progress be-
tween Russia and Japan.
1t is not believed that Russia will
notice the visit to the extent of max
ing formal representations on the sub
ject.
1t has not been decided whether
the members of congress accompany.
ing Mr.. Taft will go with him to To
kiO If they do it will be merely as
a party of American citizens.
Mr.. Taft hopes ~ avoid meeting the
Japanese emperor but it is not be-
lieved this can be accomplished
Those in charge of his reception will
doubtless insist on presenting him to
the mikadO.
The presence Of Miss Roosevelt
with the party will prove the most
delicate feature of the affair. The
Japanese will seek to show her cour.
tesy and attention due her station as
the presidents daughter and many
embarressments may result.

There is a growing feeling among
tie people that there ought to be a
county salary bill. This would do
away with the necessity for inspec-
tors. The question will be an issue in
the fall campaign and is sure to come
Up when the legislature meets. Then
look out for the work of the lobbyist,
Every official in the state will be
called upon to contribute to a fund to
be used to defeat any salary bill that
may come up.

cHLoRoFoRMlNe THE OLD.

DR.. Osler says that the good work of
the world is done by men whose years
are less than forty, and that when a
man has lived six decades he should
be, II not exactly chloroformed, firmly
turned out to grass.
The thought, however which Dr.
osler was seeking to emphasize. and
to enforce which he made his extreme
statement, is that the present educa-
tional tendency is to give too much
time to preparation. Energies are too
often used in getting ready to do that
could BIO better employed in doing.

NAVAL APPLICANTS REJECTED
More Because of Bad Teeth Than For
Any Other Reason.


Reports to the Navy Department
from the recruiting parties at various
points in the United States show that
of all applicants for enlistment two
thirds are rejected because of physi-
cal Deficiencies. The naval require
ments are for sound and healthy
young men. More are rejected be-
cause of bad teeth than for any other
reason.
Naval surgeons hold that a man
who has lost majority of his molars
cannot properly masticate his food.
He is therefore susceptible to stom-
ach trouble and the disorders OF the
digestive organs. His efficiency as a
working machine is thus impaired.
The surgeons consider that a man
with one upper and with one lower
molar on one side much better off for
the naval service than a man who has
lost all his upper molars but whose
lower molars remain sound
The food question aboard ship is
one Of great Importance. If 1t does
not agree with the bluejackets they
are quick to complain. There are no
dental surgeons regularly rated in the
United States Navy, although some
hospital stewards do dental work.
There is regular dentist on the re-
ceiving ship Hancock.
The authorized limit of the enlisted
personnel of the navy is now $4,000.

TROUBLES IN HIGH SOCIETY.

In our highest society" the subject
of precedence at balls and dinners is
just now causing perplexity. The
Seating" of dinner is always an en-
barrassing task and in New York it is
more so since the idea has emerged
that a strict order of precedence
should be observed. To disregard it
Is to give great offence; for there are
many who Go not agree with Sancho
Panza in saying: Provided | have
victuals enough, can eat as well, or
better, standing and alone, than if |
were seated close by an emperor" In
the old days of the simple life, pros.
porous merchant who-lived not many
miles from Bowling Green was accus-
toned to lead his guests en- masse to
the dining room, and pronounce the
sacramental words, Lay to, one and
ALL" Even Washington has some
times been at fault, and upon one
public occasion mixed up the judiciary
with the diplomatic corps in a way
that led many to anticipate interna-
tional complications. But no one in
Washington encounters questions of
precedence as they have to be faced
in New York where there are no OBJ
jective marks to aid the giver Of a
feast in deciding who shall sit on his
right hand, and who shall divert his
consort at the other end of the table

NO YOUNG NAVAL CAPTAINS,

There is, apparently, no drawing
of an early-age limit in the service Of
the great navies Of the world. The
average age Of captains in the English
navy is forty-eight, and the SAME fg.
ure repeats itself in the German navy.
The FIVE heaviest Japanese chips are
commanded by captains yhose age ii
a little under forty-six years. In the
American navy captains average
fifty -seven.--Leslie's. -
