Taft isn't strong with the people?
How about Iowa? Republicans in
that state Endorsed the veteran ALI
son for senator. He is a "stand-pat-
ter" but they made him stand on a
tariff revision platform, and they in
dorsed Taft unanimously, although
the state was almost evenly divided
between Cummins and Allison forces.
Hughes, Cannon and Fairbanks had
men on the ground to take advantage
of the split, but there wasn't any split
so far as the choice for president was
concerned. If there had been the
least anti-Taft sentiment in that state,
does any one think that bitter fac
tional fight would not have brought
ii to the surface?

The Cincinnati Enquirer knows
when it is licked, and in spite of the
fact that it has been the Foraker,
anti-Taft organ of Ohio, it also strives
to be newspaper. and last Sunday
the Enquirer threw up the sponge and
admitted that opposition to Taft Ia
now foolish. Correspondents from
everywhere told the same story. From
New York Hughes will get the vote
on first ballot, and then at least 60
vii go to Taft. Cannon has a similar
hold on Illinois and Fairbanks on In
diana. When they are out of the way
the delegates will go to Taft, who has
second instructions in a dozen states
but won't need them. He will be
nominated on first ballot. States are
credited to their favorite sons. be-
cause Taft has instructed his follow
ers to keep hands off, but speaking OF
delegates actually chosen 10 the Chi
COCA convention up to date, Taft is
the only candidate, who has single
delegate instructed for him. except

Sible President.

Gen. Jacob S. Coxey, who led the
famous march of the Army Of the
Unemployed several years ago. and
who was in washington last week with
a plan for the relief Of the financial
situation, has another hobby besides
getting Congress TO take his noninterest
bond bill seriously. He is also interested
in good roads throughout the country,
but this. too, is a secondary matter
with the general.
First, last. and all the time General
Ccxev is interested in his family, and
Just as soon as he had obtained an audi
ence with the President he planned %
catch the first train for MassiIlon, Ohio.
He stopped a day or two in PiJtsbUrE
on business, but 1t was only a short
stop, for the general had been away
from home for some time, and he was
in a hurry TO get back and see the
kids"
The general is the proud father of
three children. and they are just about
the finest children that ever lived. If
you don't believe It ask the general
He'll tell you they are, and If anybody
should know il, it's General COXey.
Jacob S. Coxey, jr., is the oldest OF
the trio. He IS sixteen. The other chill
dren are David, FIVE: and Ruth. who will
be two years old March Il. Jscob is
attending school at Massillon. Like
every other American boy, he Is a pos
slble President of the United States, and
the possibility is not being neglected.
II his parents have anything to do with
the matter, his name viii be written
on a scroll in the hall Of fame.
General Coxey called on the President
at the White House Thursday. His
visit to Washington was made as the
result Of resolutions drawn up at the
recent convention in st. Louis to relieve
the present distress among the great
number o. unemployed men throughout
the country
Besides discussing the industrial con-
diticn of the country, General Coxey
talked with the President about his re-
cent message to Congress relating 10
the inland waterways OF the country.
The general wants legislation from Con-
gress so the people can borrow money
the same as national banks, and Will not
be obliged TO pay interest for the use
OF the money

ALICE THAW NOT FREE
FOR NEXT SIX MONTHS

LONDON. Feb 29.-The Countess OF
Yarmouth Is living very quietly after
her tying experiences in the divorce
court, and is seeing only her most in
innate friends. IL IS rumored in so
cietv that as soon as her decree OF
annuIlment is made one Of divorce, her
engagement to an American may be an
nounced.
The decree pronounced by the presi-
dent Of the divorce court does not make
the countess g free woman. She must
wait SIX months until the decree is
made absolute. When that is done her
marriage with the earl viii be declared
null ana Void and al the marriage set
Elements viii be Cancelled.
The court may review the marriage
settlements at the request Of either
party, or allow them TO enter into
agreements between themselves. The
six months which must eIapse conSti-
tute the period during which the Kings
proctor is supposed 10 make inquiries
in order 70 be certain that there was
no collision between the parties 10
deceive the court ana obtain a divorce
when the facts do no. warrant it.
It is stiIl a matter Of some doubt
whether the former Alice Thaw is en-
titled 10 can herself Countess Of Var
mouth during the next six months.
When Countess CowIey divorced the
earl he endeaYored to restrain her by
Injunction from using the title. II was
held IN that case that q peerless who
divorces q peer is entitled 10 retain
her title even after the decree dissOlT-
ing the marriage had been made alb
solute. il is otherwise, however, when
the suit is one Of nulhty. However she
may style herself during the six months
interval the balance Of authority ia

will certainly have no right TO II AFTER
the decree is made absolute.

In the country there was a slight
change for the better. and the proper
tionats nrmber Of paupers Throughout
England and Wales during October, No
vember, and December Of 1907 shows
a small decrease compared with the
similar period in 1906.
IN 1906 the total number OF paupers
relieved during the last three months
was 79S,7IR, u ratio per 100 inhabitants
OF 81. In 1861. although the total num-

amounting TO no fewer than 1850 per-

The number OF paupers increases as

MOTHER OF SULTAN
RULER OF TURKEY
GuardS Both the Harem and
YildiZ Palace With Iron
Hand.

CONSTANTINOPLE. Feb. 29-Ths
mightiest parsonage in Turkey today is
the Suitana Vande, the mother OF Abdul
Hamid, for she rules not only the Sui
tan himself, but the harem and Yildiz
Palace as wei.
In the management Of the harem the
Sultana Valide is assisted by a woman
treasurer, and the two women handle
the greater part OF the Emperor's pri-
yate finances. Without the Sultana'
signature the treasurer Is not allowed q
single bill, and when IL is paid both
women usually get a percentage. It Is
stated that the last treasurer retired
not long ago with a fortune OF 6s000000
francs.
The Sultana Talide is too exalted a
parsonage to concern herself about new
additions 10 the harem. Candidates for
the imperial favor are intrusted TO a
female overseer well versed in harem
etiquette The overseer employs a
number OF teachers. and supeTiutends
the instructions Of the women IN dane
ing. singing, playing, and other arts
esteemed by the Sultan.
Whenever the Sultan visits the haren
the latest arrivals are placed among the
attendants. ii the Padishah displays
the slightest interest in any OF them
the Sultana Valide is Informed. and the
young woman is forthwith placed under
her personal charge. She Is given an
apartment of her own, beautiful dresses
and jewels. and special teachers are
called 10 finish the education Of the
possible favorite.
After a favorite has borne a son TO
the Sultan she receives the title OF
.'Kadine." and hencefOrth ranks as a
princess
