The LincoInites.

Hon. Winston Churchill, author, is
generating some political heat in the
cool mountain region of New Hamp-

are Independent Republicans. The
antimachine Republicans call them
selves by that name in Pennsylvania.
The name and the movement both
seem to be spreading. OF course,
whether Churchill is elected or not,
his candidacy must help the Demo

Democracy's Chance In 1908.

In a long and fetching article in the
st. Louis Globe Democrat, thick and
thin Republican newspaper, Charles
NJ. Harvey, one of its most brilliant
contributors, discusses the question,
What chances has the Democracy iii
190S?, OF course, being Republican
and writing for Republican paper.
he resolves every doubt in favor Of his
party friends. Speaking of the hope
fulness of Democrats, be refers to a
statement made by me In congress in
the following words and figures:
One reason why the Democrats feel
some confidence on the eve of the big
election of 1908 is that they believe they
will win several states in the west which
were carried by the Republicans two
years ago. They count on regaining Mis-
souri, in the state and congressional cam
vass in 1906. According to Congressman
Clark, Missouri gave its vote to Roosevelt
and to all the Republican state ticket in
1904, except Wallbridge for governor, be-
cause 10000 Democrats remained away
from the polls Roosevelt had a plurality
in the state of 5000, and Folk. the soli-
tary Democrat who carried the state In
that year. had a margin of $4,000. It is
known that many thousands of Republic
ans voted for Folk. 1t is to be presumed
that Democrats to the extent of many
thousands supported Roosevelt. There
was much independent voting in Mis-
souri, in 1904. as there was in many other
states Minnesota and Massachusetts,
which gave Roosevelt large pluralities and
which are ordinarily Republican by broad
margins, chose Democratic governors
Party ties in 1904 in many communities
sat lightly on large numbers of the
voters.
But. as regards Missouri, there was an
other test of party strength. In 1902 the
Democrats carried all of Missouri's con-
gressional districts except the Tenth.
Bartholdts. In 1904 the Republicans car
ried nine of the states sixteen districts
bers of congress In Missouri in 1902 was
l70,S59. while it was 2o4.596 in 1904, gain
Of 81, 237 This would appear to show that
the Democratic stay at homes In Missouri
in 1904 were not as numerous as is sone-
times said by Democratic politicians.
While the Democrats made gain of 81, 600
on their congressional vote IN 1904 ever
1902, the Republican gain was $1,000 OF
course Roosevelts personality accounted
for a large part OF this Republican gain
In congress. AS Roosevelt will not be
the votes won by the Republicans in 1904
will be lost in 1906 and In 1908. This viii
make the contest in Missouri for minor
state officers and for members of con-
gress In 1905 closer and more exciting
than It was In 1904
Now. let's examine that paragraph
3udicially. NY statement to which he

Taft an Aid to Cupid.

Mr.. Secretary of War Taft has a
right to set up as sort of Cupid.
Loyemaking seems to have been the
chief amusement and employment Of
the excellent people who went on the
famous expedition with Judge Taft to
the Philippines. Messrs. Longworth
and Shirley have already married
ladies of the party. 1t is rumored that
Senators Warren of Wyoming and
Patterson of Colorado will go and do
likewise. Now the announcement is
made from Manila that Hon. William
Bourke Cochran is to marry Miss Ide,
daughter of the new governor general
of the Philippines. Peace, plenty and
length of days to them all, say /.

Gar me OF Bowls Revived.

There are signs and symptoms Of a
revived interest in the game Of bowls,
one of the Oldest outdoor pastimes In
England. In its heyday bowls ran
archery very c,oses-so close indeed,
that in the interests of national de-
Tense it was deemed essential to dts
courage the game Thus it was. prob
ably, that the pastime came to be
looked upon as having something OF
an Illicit character, and for time was
more or less associated with houses OF
entertainment which were not always
of the best repute. But, in spite of the
ban OF bygone centuries, the bowling
green has survived more especially in
the north of England and in Scotland,
Nor can there be any more delightful
game than bowls for summer even
ing, more especially for those who
have attained to an age when such
lively physical exertions as are in
volved by cricket and tennis become a

standing with the lantern in his hand
I'VE own the caverns, what are we

"The first thing" said Medworth, '1s
to destroy this powder train, and take
precautions that the magazine is not

They spent half hour at this work,
and when they considered the maga-
zine safe, they began an ex animation
of their surroundings.
Not far from the powder magazine
they found a rude stone stairway
running from a central position in the
cellar to an abrupt termination against
a wooden door, what seemed to be
one at the top.
Upon examining the wall at the
top, they found that what had seemed
to be a door had no knob, and no ap-
parent way of opening it.
This door, if it is a door," said
Tempest. was never made to open.'
There must be secret spring"
said Medworth. "Surely the stairs are
not here for nothing. II force cannot
open the door let us look for spring"
They began careful examination of
the surface of the door, and the walls
around it, going over every inch with
their finger ends, Tempest holding the
lantern to facilitate the search
"Ha! Here is something" said Med
worth. "A button
He pushed, pulled and twisted this,
but to no purpose.
II am convinced that this button

manipulate it, you push the door. It
may be out Of order"
He tried again, and Tempest, putting
his strength to the door. had no diff
Guilty in opening it.
"Now be careful" said Medworth.
They passed through the open door,
and found themselves in a narrow pas
sage, entirely destitute of furniture,
and perfectly dark save for the rays of
the lantern.
There was no other door to this place
than the one they had come through,
but at the other end they found what
seemed to be panel in the wall. From
the side they were on 1t could be easi-
" noticed, and Medworth marveled
that the trick was not more skillfully
done.
He placed his hand on this panel,
and found that it slid noiselessly to

Before them was . large. sumptucus-
" furnished library, the table Of which
was strewn with papers and maps. and
the air heavy with tobacco smoke,
though no person was visible. A lamp
shed gloomy sort of light over the
apartment. After making themselves
certain that there was no one in the
room. Medworth and Tempest went In.
There was door opening from this
