From Tuesdays Daily Sun ::

From Tuesdays Daily Sun:
The Commoner, published at Lin
coin, Neb., and edited by the great,
est living American, Hon. VIM. J.
Bryan, has the following appropriate
article in its last issue:
Again we are approaching the
Christmas season, and the hearts OF
the young and the old are made mer.
ry by the Joys and festivities that
throng the holidays. To the child II
means toys, sweetmeats and the pleas.
ures of vacations. To the older ones il
brings that renewal Of youth that comes
from contact with the buoyancy of
youth. The children, not yet ac-
quainted with the joys Of giving, are
overlooking with happiness because Of
what they have received while their
parents, measuring life by a higher
standard, find a deep satisfaction in
the JOY that they impart.
Let not the circle Of kinship bound
the generosity that the season
prompts, for 1t Is not a small gift
that gave to Christmas its significance,
and to the Christian world this day
so faithfully observed. He in whose
honor the Christmas tree is reared
gave the full measure OF a life, and
the spirit that assembled from Calvary
has entered into the life Of many mil.
lions, and that spirit has given to
those lives fullness that they would
not otherwise have known. II the
worlds Indebtedness to the precepts Of
the man of Galilee measures the
bounty to be scattered on the COM
ing Christmas morn, the world will be
filled with gifts and gratitude"

CENTRAL NATIONAL BANK.

The Suns Washington correspond.
ent says Comptroller Ridgeley has
made his annual report To Congress.
and in it he makes the recommended.
ton that he has made for five sue.
Cessive years for the establishment of
a central National bank under Govern.
ment control. There has been deal
OF talk about currency reform, some.
times by people who know nothing
about it and sometimes by those who
did and had axes to grind. Many OF
the plans Of reform suggested have
been nebulous and some have been
Chimerical. But the plan suggested by
the Comptroller is for straight-out re-
form lines that have been tried by
other Governments and proved re.
liable. He advocates a central Nation.
al bank under Government control
that would have supervision and di,
rection Of all other National banks
and would regulate the issue OF notes
according to the demand OF the coun.
try, recalling notes when there was
plethora of money and issuing more
in time OF demand when 1t was needed
for crop moving and other purposes.
This is the plan, with some variations,

TAFT AND HUGHES.

This week has brought into clear
view the candidates. of Secretary Taft
and Governor Hughes for the Republi.
can nomination FOR President of the
United States, says The Wall Street
Journal Secretary Taft has already
been favored with the formal support
of the Republican organization Of the
State of Missouri. There is some
reason to believe that the strength
of Secretary Taft has not been appre-
ciated at its full value in New York
He is stronger than is commonly un.
derstood here. Moreover he has the
great advantage OF being a Western
man and the West holds the balance
Of political power and will ordinarily
throw the weight OF that power In
favor of n candidate coming from It's
section
Nevertheless, one Of the most re-
markable political developments OF re-.
cent years has been the rapid growth
of Governor Hughes popularity, in
spite OF the fact that he has taken no
active measures 10 promote II. and has
no political organization back Of him.
This is all the more extraordinary be-.
cause Governor Hughes is an abso.
lutely new man In politics. and his
present Office, which he has held only
for a year, is his first public position.
Moreover his personality, while II I'm.

while they excite admiration, are not

SENATOR MALLORY DEAD.
From Tuesdays Daily Sun:


The sad news of the death of Sen
ator Mallory was received in Gaines
vile early Monday morning, to the
effect that he had passed away at his
home in Pensacola at 12:4S o'clock
a. M, December 23.
No man in public life was ever more
highly esteemed than Senator Nal
slory. Even those opposed to him
politically admitted that not a word
could be truthfully uttered against his
public or private life, and his devo-
ton to his aged mother, who died a
few years ago, was beautiful in the ex-
IRENE. His life was embellished by
modesty and self-sacrifices, and his
biographer can truthfully say that
"a nobler man never lived"
He was the son of Stephen R. Nal.
lory, at one time United States Sen.
ator from Florida and Secretary of the
Confederate Navy. The Congressional
Record gives the following brief
sketch OF his life:
Stephen Russell Mallory, Demo
crat of Pensacola, was born Novem.

in Virginia in the fall of 1864; in the
spring of 1865 was appointed midship-
man in the Confederate Navy; entered
Georgetown College, District of Co.
lumbia, November, 1865, and gradual
ed in June, 1869; taught a class at
Georgetown College until July, 1871;
was admitted to the bar by the SUI
preme court of Louisiana at New Or.
leans in 1873; removed to Pensacola,
Fla, in 1874, and began practicing
law; was elected to the lower house
of the Legislature in 1876; was elected
to the Senate of Florida in 1880, ard
was reelected in 1884; was elected to
the Fifty-second and Fifty-third Con.
crosses from the First District of
and was elected to the United
States Senate by the Legislature Of
Florida for the term beginning March
4, 1897. Reelected in 1908. Received
the degree Of doctor Of laws from
Georgetown University In June, 1904.
His term of service will expire March

MLLER THE PREMIER RIDER

A dearth of good riding material has
been the principal drawback of the
season. Aside from Walter Miller, the
champion of 1906 who came here under
contract to President Williams Of the
local jockey club, the Jockeys who have
ridden during the meeting have shown
only ordinary ability in the saddle.
From time to time several or them
showed Improvement, which led to the
hope that they would make first class
riders, but in nearly every case their
Improvement was only temporary. Mil
Ier's work in the saddle stands out in
striking contrast with that of the other
local riders. Although he rode here
for only about 10 weeks, he still stands
far and away ahead OF the boys who
rode throughout the season OF 81
weeks. Sandy. L. Williams, Brown.
Fischer, r. Davis, Horner, Koerner,
Keogh, Knapp, r. Davis. Scoville, c.
Williams and III. Smith all showed
form at various times that was promis-
ing, but heeting. During the past few
weeks Kirschbaum, Cricket Kelly,
Borel, Gross, Lynch, Buxton and Men
try have come to the front, and 1t is
probable that with increased expert
ence some of these boys will develop
into good riders. Little Eddie Dugan,
who is riding in good form on the New
York tracks, was a product of the
local season, although he showed no
such skill here as has brought him into
favor with eastern racegoers.
The following tabulation shows the
record of all the boys who have ridden
during the meeting:

SUES FOR AUTOMOBILE
HELD UP BY REPAIRER
George H. Roos Wants Machine and
Rental Value for Each Day
1t Is Detained

George H. Roos of 1000 Jackson
street began suit yesterday against
keenan, brothers, automobile repairers
Frank Miner and the General motor
company for the return of an automo-
bile and $50 day for every day it is
withheld from June 10. He left the
automobile with keenan, brothers on
April % last with orders for necessary
repairs. he alleges, and they have since
refused to give him the car, although
on last Tuesday he offered to pay the
bill for the repairs. Soon after the
complaint was filed a security bond for
$4,000 was furnished by Roos and
Sheriff O'Neil took possession of the
machine.
Frank Miner, who is president of the
General motor car company and one of
the defendants. says that Roos bought
the automobile for $3.50, but still
owes $500 on the purchase price. The
bill for repairs foots up $500.
