THE NEXT PRESIDENT

Among the many prominent ques.
tons now before the American people
that of the presidency for the ensuing
term is by far the most important. A
work has been commenced under the
present administration that should be
continued until il has been completed
in u successful manner. And no man
should be nominated or elected who
will not continue along the lines of
necessary reform. Who will be the
next president depends almost entire
ly upon the man who shall be nomi.
mated by the Republican party. If a
good. strong and available man shall
be chosen he will undoubtedly be
elected. II not, then Mr.. Bryan may
win, and secure the coveted ambition
of his life. 1t is true that the third
term sentiment is growing and should
President Roosevelt finally yield to
the popular demand he will not only
he nominated, but elected with practi-
cal unanimity. But it seems that the
nearer we approach the time for active
work toward the nomination, the more
determined the President becomes TO
retire at the end of the present term.
Had he not practically removed him
self and his name from consideration
he would be the unanimous nominee
for another term. But because of his
statement to that effect which has been
reiterated again and again he could
hardly accept the nomination without
laying himself open to the charge of
changing his opinion. Leaving the
present incumbent out of consideration
whom should the Republicans nomi-
nate for his successor? The most
available man to be sure. The man
who could most surely and easily be
elected. Just who he is or may be
cannot be predicted so far ahead with

day may have dropped to the rear be.
fore the end of another year. The
candidate of the Republican party
must be strong, fearless, enthusiastic
and agressive-a man who will stand
for what the people demand. Because
of factional division and dissension,
it is probable that nobody west o.
Chicago will have show for nomi
nation. No one in the far east seems
to measure up TO the requirements o.
availability, however strong he may
be in the other elements. OF the
others in the running there are Vice
President Fairbanks and Secretrr,
Taft. SO the indications are that the
contest will finally be limited to Ohio
and Indiana. For the present, Mr.
Fairbanks probably has the greater

Remainso of Unfortunate Mexican
Cut in Two By Train Still
Separated
RELATIVES CAN DO NOTHING
The Authorities of the Two States Are
at Swords Points, and Neither Will
Give Up the Halt 1t Holds to the
Other = Unusual illumination of Pc
culiar Laws.

FL Paso, Texas, Aug. 6.--One half a
mans body held by the authorities of
one state, and the other half held By
another state, and each state refusing
to give up the half it holds, is the sit
uation now existing in Mexico, which
serves to magnify some incongruities IN
the laws of that country. Miguel Mar
tinez, a Mexican Central brakeman,
went asleep under one of the cars IN
his train While it was on d siding at
Espiritus Santo, Zacatecas. The train
started up, and cut him squarely in
two at the belt. Half of the body rolled
TO the side of the track, and the other
half, becoming entangled in a brake
beam, was carried TO Salinas, San Luis
Potosi. The authorities in each state
took possession of half of the body,
and each refuses to return the half IT
has over to the other. No official in
vestigation can proceed without the
whole corpse as basis, hence the au-
thorities are at swords points, and
relatives of the dead man are unable
to do anything.

HEARST SUED FOR LIBEL
Former Illinois States Attorney De-
mands 100000 Damages.

Chicago, Aug. 6-Jacob j. Kern, for
mer states attorney, brought three
suits for 100000 each yesterday
against w. r. Hearst's two Chicago
newspapers, charging libel in state
ments published concerning him and
his relations to the failure of Stems
lands Milwaukee Avenue State bank
last summer.
One suit for 100000 is brought
against the Illinois Publishing Com
pany. which issues the Chicago Ex-
aminer, and two for like amounts
against the Evening American Pub
fishing Company, which issues the Chi
cago American.
Mr.. Kern waited until he had only
five days remaining in which to start
action for damages, and, when both
concerns had come to the conclusion
that the alleged libel was forgotten,
filed his bills in the superior court. He
feels certain that he will recover lib
eral damages.
In both publications he was charged
with having contributed substantially
to the bank failure.
"Jake Kern Reaps Harvest From
Stensland Bank" was the headline on
one of the stories which the former
states attorney makes a basis for his
action.

General Bell Says Soldiers Should

Spokane, Wash, Aug 6.--Brig. Gen.
j. Franklin Bell, chief of staff OF the
United States army. who was at Fort

of inspection. said in the course of an
interview tha the army needs not
only more pay, but also more officers,
"and." he added Il believe it would be
better for the morals of the soldiers
to permit light beer to be sold at the
post canteens."
General Bell said it is the expense
incident to continual packing and
moving that keeps the noses of the Of
ticers and soldiers to the grindstone.
When they observe, he said. that near
ly everybody else in or out of public
service, has been influenced for the
better by the general prosperity of the
country. they cannot but feel there are
other callings in which they could earn
larger compensation for the same
amount of labor than in the army. He
added:
When an able bodied youth can
earn So day and his board in the har-
vest field In this country. he does not
jump at the chance of drawing S13 a
month in the army, notwithstanding
there are many advantages in addi-
ton to this amount of money which
the country boy would enjoy during
the three years service in the army"
