TAFT HAS A WALk0vER.
His Friends Dictate Call for the State
Convention.

Columbus, O., Jan. 3.-The Repub-
licans of Ohio will be given an oppor-
tunity to express a direct vote of their
choice for the party's candidate for
president at primaries to be held on
February II, when delegates and al
ternates to the Republican state
convention will be elected. The con-
vention will be in Columbus, March
8 and 4, and it will select in addition
to four delegates at large to the Re-
publican national convention, candi-
dates for government and other state
officers.
The call for the primaries and con-
vention was adopted by the Republi-
can central committee after a pro-
tracted session. The friends of w. H
Taft, candidate for the Republican
nomination for president, were in con-
troll, casting IA votes to z for the
supporters of Senator Foraker, also
an avowed candidate for the presi-
dency. The vote stood IA to 81 on

Richard McCloud of London, close
personal friend of Mr.. Dougherty, but
a Taft supporter, voted for MIN as
against Mr.. Garfield. The state com
mittee decided that it had nothing to
do with the selection Of national dele
gates in the congressional districts
and declined to make any suggestion
in regard thereto.
The call reported by the sub-com-
mittee and adopted by the general
committee by a vote Of IA to is one
of the most elaborate ever issued by a
state committee.
Several amendments to the call
were proposed by the friends of SEN

were voted down. The chief fight was
made against the direct primary plan
for the selection of delegates to the
state convention They proposed that
delegates to county conventions be
chosen by direct vote, the county con-

HUNDREDS OF

The famed Dr.. LOOMS of Bellevue
Hospital has declared that his autope-

disease, and as probably one-tenth
of the people in Topeka are over for

mean many hundreds. But If Dr.
LOOMS statement is only partly cor
rect, it would show the astonishing
prevalence of kidney disease. Another
and important fact is that kidney
trouble is not only durable but COM
monty gets well of itself the first few
weeks. But If it has been hanging on
and become chronic it is then consid-
cred fatal, and that it has been so is
shown by the census deaths from kid
ney troubles-now over $4,000
annually. This frightful annual
death list also shows the futility
of the scores of medicines that claim

SALE CALLED OFF.
Denver & Rio Grande Unable to Sc
cure Santa F'e Central.

Il
Denver, Jan. 3.-Negotiations for the
sale Of the Santa Fe Central railroad
to the Denver & Rio Grande, which
were in progress several months ago,
are understood to be off and the New
Mexico road will probably not become
a part of the Rio Grande system at
this time. The road, which was to have
been used as connecting link between
the Gould roads in Texas and the Gould
road in Colorado and Utah, will proba-
bly, continue as an Independent project
for some time to come.
The Santa Fe Central connects with
the Denver & Rio Grande at Santa Fe,
N. M, and runs south to Torrance, on
the Rock Islands Ell Paso line, dis
lance of about ITO miles. The Rio
Grande is narrow gauge to Santa Fe
from Alamosa and the plans that road
had in view were to rebuild this line
broad gauge and take another route.
The surveys for this change had al
ready been made. The Santa Fe Cen
trail was then projected to continue on
to Big Springs, Texas, on the Texas d
which operates from Ell Paso to New
Orleans. The object Of the deal was to
connect the Southern Gould roads with
the Rio Grande and Missouri Pacific IN
this state and make 1t part Of the
transcontinenta1 system extending from
coast to coast which Gould will control
upon the completion Of the Western
Pacific.
The Santa Fe Central is owned prin-
cipaIly by Pittsburg capitalists ana a
deal was being negotiated in that city
for the purchase OF the road. 1t Is pre-
sumed that the conditions OF the money
market and the inability of the two
co1nnanies TO agree on terms was the
cause of the failure of the negotia-

Why lost
My job.
Reasons Why Thousands Like Me
Cannot Satisfy Their Employers.

ct believe my fate is not unlike that
of thousands of other workers who
daily lose their places for reasons they
do not know. and probably would not
believe. When their last pay envelope
comes along, it is usually Your ser
vices no longer required" If the truth
were known. the reason for their I'M
ceremonious removal would probably
be that their usefulness was destroyed
because of some mental worry, bodily
ailment or general indisposition. These
things, as we all know, are the most
fruitful causes Of failure in all walks
Of life. The battle of Waterloo was
lost because of a headache. In this
quick age our minds must be clear
rapid, active. and free from outside
influence or worry, or else we go down
to failure with the throng Of ''hoaters
who go from one place OF employment
to another, giving no satisfaction to
others or to themselves. constantly
growing older and less useful, with no
ambition, no will power, and no hope.
Every man requires from every other
man the best that is in him. But no
man can use or get the best that is
in himself until he is first free from
