LOSES BET
BUT WINS
A HUSBAND

TACOMA. Nov. 9.-The election OF
Taft has produced a boom in matri-
mony in this county. Yesterday was
a big day at the county auditors office
for the marriage license department,
and today there were more granted
than during any day of the palmy days
of June roses and blue skies.
Newly elected County Auditor Stew
art believes the increased weddings
are caused by the election off Taft,
and it is suspected from sly glgginG
and intimations made during the Sc
curing of several of the licenses that
they are partially the results of bets
on the election.
From all that could be learned one
bright girl, whose family came from
Kentucky and are consequently demo-
Gratis, had been so certain of Bryan's
election that she promised him after
having refused a number of times, thai
she would marry him lin order to make
life miserable for him. if Taft were
elected. He took the bet and the
chances, and now he has his bride.
He" is a republican and the incident
constitutes another victory for The
party.

the postmaster general will receive
hearty endorsement and an earnes,
recommendation that it b. speedily en-
acted into law
Inc great growth Of prohibition sem
tlment and the demand of the states
that the federal government meet tn :
original package" decision of the SUI
preme court will be touched upon.
The president will also recomm md
legislation requiring publicity of cam
paign expenses. He has not yet indi-
Gated whether he will repeat his pre-
vlous recommendation for the enact
ment of an inheritance and income
tax, but he will press for a federal in
corporation license and for the en-
actment of new employers liability
law.
The president will take advantage
of certain criticisms in the last con-
gress as to the advisabiity of sending
the Atlantic fleet into Asiatic waters.
by pointing out the feeling of inter
national amity that followed it's tri-
umphal progress, and the great ad-
vantages, commercially and otherwise,
which he believes will accrue in Jap
an, China and other points of the ORR
ent
Statehood for New Mexico and Ari-
iona will not be neglected nor will the
demand for the creation of an "Ap-
palachian forest reserve" Also his
advocacy of the adoption of a policy
looking to the purchase of at least
one legation site a year will be r.
newed
The placing of dates upon the Ia
bells of packing house products and
the payment of the cost of inspection
by the packers is another matter to
which he will call attention. The de-
il!dllu IOI uniformity IN ulNOTCe laws
will be reiterated, as vel as child Ia
Dor legislation.
Although it is generally understood
that the presid mt will leave to his sue
cessor the treatment of tariff revision
the desirability of placing wood pulp
on the free list will again BE- pointed
out.

ARIZONA FAIR
OPENS TODAY

PHOENIX, Ariz.. Nov 9-What is
perhaps the biggest exposition ever
held in one of Uncle Sans territories
through Their dlu fgwkyqy gfwkyqyqpj
was opened today and will extend
through the entire week This is the
fourth annual Territorial fair and far
surpasses its predecessors in the num-
Der and scope of exhibits and amuse-
ments. The races are for $4,000 in
purses, and this liberal offer has at
tracted some of the best horses ever
seen on a southwestern track. The
live stock show illustrates the great
progress made in that industry in the
last few years, and the display of the
mineral and metal wealth of the ter
ritOry is very complete. Many ter
ritorial societies and associations will
hold conventions during fair week.

Last Message
Of Roosevelt

WASHINGTON, Nov 9.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt's last annual message
to congress will be of tn nature of a
cassic-a document that may go down
accomplishments and aims of the pres
ent administration.
At no TIM during his term of office
has the president given the attention
to the preparation of message that
he is devoting to this one. Roughly
drafted while he was at Oyster ay
for the summer. and suppl mented
since his return by important depart
mental recommendations, h is still at
work amending and polishing.
Much attention will be paid in the
message to questions of economic re-
form in which labor is eply interest
ed. One of tn most striking features
will be recommendations of an amend
ment to the Sherman antitrust law
eXempting labor organizations from it's
provisions. and the passage of anti
injunction laws along the lines pro-
posed last year.
Wheth T the president will push his
fight for larger navy by recommend
ing the annual construction of four
monster battleships has not been de-
cided. He will. at any rate. ask for
two.
Additional Notifications for the Phil
ippincs and for sea coast defense in
this country will be strongly urged
Congress will be requested to broad
en- the powers of the interstate COM
mere, commission in the supervision
of rates fore they become effective.
The difficulties encountered in the adj
iustment of interstata rates by states
having railroad commissions have
raised a demand for additional feder-
al legislation that tha president be-
lieves will meet with hearty support
ev n by the minority party in con-
gress.

National Horse
Show Is Opened

NEW YORK, Nov. 9-Ine NauOnal
Horse Show week, which marks the
opening of the social season in the
metropolis, was inaugurated with a
flourish today and there is every pros
pect that the twentyfourth annual
exhibition in Madison Square garden
will be the classiest in the long his
tory of the National Horse Show as
ISOLATION. Horses from all over the
country are entered and everything is
in readiness for the elaborate program
that will be carried out during the
week
Although the sale Of boxes was not
as successful as in past years, the gen.
eral attendance promises to break all
records, and the social leaders of the
land will be out in force. Alfred G.
Vanderbilt paid the top price for his
old box, No. 10, which was knocked
down to him for 5000. In previous
years. Mr. Vanderbilt has paid as
much as $500 for this box.
At this weeks show the number of
classes is 125. as against 1872 in 1907,
four competitions having been elimin-
ated from the hackney division and
three from the division for trOtterS.
Breeders Of light and heavy harness
horses have not supported these d;vi-
sions very we'll of late years, and in
cutting down its prize list the aSsOcia-
ton has done away with the champion
ship prize of $500 for trotting bred
brood mares and yearlingS, and all
classes for hackney mares, as we'll as
for yearling and 2-year- old stations.
The competition for halfbred stations
has likewise disappeared from the
prize list, leaving twelve classes less
than heretofore for breeding stock.
In the division for saddle horses two
new classes for women have been ad-
ded to the list and the class for cobs
has been abandoned. A new class for
harness horses is open only to owner
who have never won a ribbon at any
of the associations previous exhibit
tions.
Canada comes into the ring with d
larger string than has been seen for
some years, and there. are some very
interesting exhibits of foreign horses
In general the number of entries is
about the same as year ago.
The hunter classes have filed mag
nificently, and show a greater number
of entries than for some years. The
forward some newcomers to the Gar
den that have already proved their
mette at the various summer shows.
The big jump is, however, in women's
saddle cass. The women sadders are
to be so numerous this year that there
may be promised exceptional compe-
tition. There are two new saddle
classes for women an dthese have
filled capitally
The breeding CLASSES have notably
dWindled in size however, and prom
Use very little interest. Very few hack
neys are to be shown. It is amounted
that unless there is a considerable re-
vival of interest in the breeding classes
before next years show they will be
eliminated and more popular classes
eSta blished in tn ir stead.
Thoroughbred classes have. however
done admirably. Three times as many
stations as last year have been en-
tered among them Being several from
the breeding bureau of the Jockey club

Marbles his note, in ecstasy of life;
Both sing, because, born in their in

This gift divine, this harmony COM

Springs up without volition on their

And fills the world, with rhapsodies of
song.
They. bird and poet, have no thought
beyond,
Putting in words, an inward melody;
AS flowers spread perfume, without
hope of gain.
And the reward? The thrush may feel
Which Heaven alone, can make us COM

While to the poet, comes a blissful
hour,
Which lifts him, far above, his baser
