DAWES As The DARK HORSE
P. H. Stretton. of Illinois, Believes
Former Comptroller Will Win.
Manager of Mckinley Campaign in
West Would Have Up-to-date
Principles in Platform.

Mobile. Sept S-Though little mentioned
in connection with the Republican norni-
nation for the Presidency. Charles C.
Dawes, Comptroller Of the Currency un-
der President Mckinley. and one of the
most prominent national figures in finance
and politics, will be the dark horse in
the next Republican National Conven-
ton. in the opinion Of p H. Strett0n. a
former campaign lieutenant OF Mr.. Dawes.
As a close friend of the manager of
the Mckinley campaign. and one who is
in touch with Illinois Republican poll
ties. StFett0n thinks that when all candi-
dates now the subject of political specu-
lation have been tried out in the canven-
ton, the nomination will 60 to Dawes.
The forecasting was brought about by
the recent visit to this city of a party of
Illinois capitalists and politicians, and the
letting Of a big contract by Mr.. Dawes
for drilling wells on his holdings IN the
Caddo oil fields. In making his predic-
ton, Stretton said:
Mr.. Dawes. w one OF the most
conspicuous fgu il the two campaigns
of President Mckinley. is now the choice
of the State Of Illinois for the Presidency.
Known by every banker in the country
and by labor leaders as well. his chances
of being the choice OF the convention are
becoming better every day.
Besides managing both Of President
McKinley's campaigns. he materially as
sisted IN the supervision of that Of Pres
ident Roosevelt. He is a close friend of
Fairbanks. Roosevelt, and Cannon He
Is a college bred man. one of the fore
most American 1nanciers, and poll
tician of experience. If he gets the NOM
ination his campaign, instead OF being
made on the old safe and sane platform.

derson. alias Hugh Mcfarland. alias Win
field Hale. enlisted in New Orleans sew
eral days ago, and was preparing to
leave for San Francisco, where he was
assigned for duty, when arrested last

Halleck's career has been an unusual
one. He enlisted in the army at Buffalo.
n. Y. in December. 1905. under the name
Of lie Roy E. Anderson. He was raised
to the rank of sergeant. and sent with
other troops to Tlio, Island of Panay.
He served with credit until attacked and
wounded one night by a native soldier.
He was passing through camp when a
native creDt up behind him and struck
him in the back of the head with a bolo.
He became maniac and was committed
to the government asylum by order Of
the Secretary of War and on recommen-
dation of his father, Mai Walter F. Hal

was permitted 10 visit his relatives on
Capitol Hill. It was on the pretext of
one of these visits that he succeeded in
escaping from the city.

AS might have been expected,
Judge Lochren turned Attorney
General Young down on his conten-
ton that he could not properly be
enjoined in the suit Of certain rail-
road stockholders to enjoin the At
torney General from enforcing the
new freight rates. Judge Lochren
holds that under the decisions of the
U. S. supreme court the suits are
not against the state but against
such officers as threaten to enforce
the law which is held to be uncon-
stitutional.

Superintendent Cooley, the newly
elected president of the N. E. A.,
has some sensible views about grad
uation gowns. He says that rs
cents is enough to put into a grad
uation gown, because the public
schools could easily adopt some
simple academic dress, like the col
lege cap and gown. The poor girl
with her splendid school record and
her cheap gown would then be as
good as anybody, and would not be
crowded back in insignifcance by
the dainty dresses of her richer
classmates. He insists that he has
personal knowledge of many girls
that have dropped out of the high
school in the final term in order te
save themselves the humiliation Of
appearing to disadvantage in theil
plain dresses on the same stage with
girls in gowns Of great price.

CHINESE SCHOOLS.

The Methodist Sunday school had
their monthly missionary program
on Sunday. 1t was given in an en-
PERTAINING manner by the Misses
Ellen Lyman. Ethel Anderson, Ag-
mes Hitchcock, also Raymond Cow
gill and Ralph Stegner.
The program consisted for the
most part of four letters written by
Y. S. Hwang, a Christian Chinese
student, describing the social life of
China, Chinese school, mission
school and the life of Chinese girls.
American school boys and girls
may be glad that their lines have
fallen unto them in such pleasant
places, and that they have nothing
harder to commence with than the
English language. Owing to the
number and complex character OF
the Chinese languages, fifteen OF
/ twenty years of practice are re
| quired to enable the Chinese boys to
write or read Chinese letter.
Chinese girls are not much inter
ested in schools, an education not
being considered advisable or neces-
sary for girls. The missionaries have
i -a
done some good work along this
| line.
Miss Maud Little. who presided,
in a closing speech referred to the
extreme politeness of the Chinese as
shown by the letters given. She
also emphasized the fact that there
are nearly two hundred million
women in China bound by slavery
and ignorance, and the missionary
forces should be greatly multiplied

Attorney General Young is goins

Attorney General Young is going
to appeal from Judge Lochren's de-
cision that he can be enjoined from
enforcing state railroad rate laws.
And if he succeeds in reversing
Judge Lochren in the appellate court
he will confirm the impression that
already prevails in political circles,
that the judges mind has been more
or less biased by the logic Of corpor.
alton attorneys or otherwise. Mean
while the state of Minnesota appears
to be sidetracked so far as enforcing
it's railroad rate laws are concerned
