TAFT SPECIAL.
A Solid Pullman Train To Be
Run to Chicago Convention.

Syl Dixson, who conducted the
Mckinley corn train and the
Kansas -four train, was in the
city this week making arrange
ments for a TAFT special, a train
similar to the above mentioned. 1t
will consist OF Pullman's, dining
cars, ETC., and will carry bands to
furnish music enroute.
The start will be made from
Phoenix, Ariz. on about the 25th
of May, and will be mostly over
the Rock Island system, stopping
at most of the larger cities OF
the West and Northwest, including
Denver, Omaha, and as Tar north
as Watertown, s. d., and from
thence to Chicago, arriving there
about five days before the conven-
ton where it will be Immediately
be placed on exhibition continu-
ously during the entire time.
Secretary Taft will personally
accompany the party, which will
consist of the governors, delegates
and prominent speakers Of the
various States and Territories.
The greatest part of the run will
be made during the day, and train
widely advertised in advance at
what towns stops and speeches
will be made.
Mr.. Dixson is endorsed in this
movement by Secretary Of War,
Taft, and other members of the
Cabinet, and he will, nc doubt, add
a great many more followerers to
the Taft standard.

NOT RIPE FOR

 FdyOrs Local Option
Public Sentiment Must Be Educated or Reaction Will be Dangerous.

St. Louis. April 26.-The St. Louis Presbytery. composed of about two hundred ministers and laymen, repre- senting churches in ten or twelve counties in Missouri. at its spring ses- sion here last week refused 10 adopt d resolution pledsing its members to vote for prohibition of city and state
 After a heated debtae in W lich the Rev pr. :. J. Nichols pastor of the Second Presbyterian church, formerly moderator of the general assembly and one of the most prominent ministers in the denomination in America, went on record as opposed to arbitrary pro- hibition at this time a substitute resolution faVoring local option was passed instead of the original measure
 If l had had the ballot in my hand today to determine that prohibition should be legally established in this state, I would not cast it, because I believe that such action would not be timely" said Dr. Nichols.
 "I am in favor of ultimate prohibi- tion. but there must be ripening of public sentiment to support such ac- ton. otherwise. being premature, the reaction will be disastrous to the true

MIR. BRYAN ON HIS INCOME.

Mir. Bryan has at last replied to the criticisms which his activities as lec- turer and writer have evoked from those who have felt that he was using his personal advantage. He admits frankly that such prominence is ''an asset in any kind of business" He calls attention to the fact that former cabinet officers and presidents have found their incomes larger after retir- ing from office, and he urges that he than he has done if he had accepted such offers as that of yearly retainer of twenty-five thousand dollars from a corporation. That. he adds naively. would have taken rDe out of the po- litical field" Here, of course, is the very point of the criticisms to which he objects. MT. Bryan has no wish to leave the political field, which is all proper enough. But should he make his occupation advance his personal fortunes in that field? Such cases as those of MT. Harrison and Mir Cleve- land. MT. Reed and MT. Shaw. are not parallel to his. They had finished their political careers. at least for the time; nor did they pursue their avoca- tions with the intent of keeping in the public eye.
 In a sense, it is nobody's business how much money MT. Bryan is able to make or how he makes it. He is per fectly frank. however, in admitting that his nominal profession does not engage his energies. My income" '" he says. "is derived mainly from my featuring. with some addition from ar ticles written for other publications and something from my own paper, but the amount has been very much exaggerated. I make more speeches for nothing than for pay. and devote more time to public work than private gain" There is no reason to doubt that MT. Bryan has been generous in his efforts to advance the causes to which he is committed. But it is rather difficult to catch the drift of his argument when he says that. since his income is gained from the people who attend my lectures and read what l write, therefore my obligation is to the whole people rather than to any special class" Where is the logical connection?

THE MERGER OF ToRNADoEs.

-AA'- -hA@AN--A~4N VI I AJ1N-N-A-SD A-AD-
 The tornado disaster which swept through four southern states on Fri day night was the most comprehen- sive in the area of devastation on rec ord and probably the most dreadful in the number of dead victims. The part of the country swept by it contained no large cities or towns nor is that re- zion in the country districts very densely populated. Otherwise. all pre- vious tornado records would have been far eclpsed.
 There was no adequate warning of the coming storm as there seldom is of storms of such unusual character There had been extraordinary disturb anccs for days farther west and it was easily predicted that they would move eastward. but no human foresight could contemplate such an awful merger as was to be formed for the destruction of life and property
 The weather bureau, accurate as it usually is, and valuable as it has proved itself to be. is at sea among the portents of storms of this char acter, mainly for the reason that there is such rapid shifting of meteoro- logical conditions that there is no ap- prcciable time between momentous causes and direful results.

 Our battleships are out of date" Says MT Henry Rcutcrdahl; "Our gunners never could shoot
 Straight: | We might as well have none at all Their armor is too light and low, Their turrets death-traps only; Some day they'll all to fragments blow And leave us sad and lonely" And should they ever chance to meet Some real shipo in battle, Why Henry says our poor old fleet Would run like frightened cattle. But say, Hen, what strange cause took
 hence
 That erstwhile Spanish nation? Was 1t the hand of Providence. or was it gravitation? O Henry, go and soak your head, And then go buy a book Entitled "U. $. History And OCT it's glorious pages look.

Grace's. If you have never had an
Aunt Grace what an incomplete
childhood yours must have been?
Aunt Grace was my fathers aunt She
had never had any children, but had
everything that children enjoy.
1t was she that kept all those de.
iigtfui story books and first taught
me my Mother Goose rhymes. It was
she that kept stacks OF Godey's
rhymes. 1t was she that kent
Godey's Ladies' Books and Petersen's
Magazines for us to amuse ourselves
with, and sometimes she would lei
us cnt out some pictures If we were
very good. And fruits-rruts opened
at Aunt Grace's every day in the
year.
Her garden must have revealed the

currants. figs grapes. all grew in that
garden.
All. I'm glad she never knew the
vandalism that took place when she
was gone. how all those delicate.
beautiful, delicate things were plough
ed up to grow cotton! 1t would have
made her heart ache as it did mine.
What the grown up people were do

much, hut II seems no what they
were always receiving and preparinr

being instructed by NANNY" in com

manners in those days was not much
respected.
One OF the precepts we'll instilled
into my code of etiquette was. "CbIl.
dren must he seen. not heard"
And have hardly learned until this
good day when is the proper time for
me TO be heard.
