ment through Forakers manager. Charles Kurtz

Mr. Burley mas long been known as a close
friend of Senator Foraker and before he was
elected the delegation he pledged himself to the
Secretary of War. This the only circum-
stance under which ne was allowed TO come to
Chicago, and If he breaks his pledge now il will
reflect more discredit on himself than any

Hon. George D. Perkins. chairman Iowa deIega-

Dear Sir: I desire TO call your attention q,
a political matter referred to in your note ~
June Z. / have taken il for granted that tina
talk OF nominating me for the Vice-Presidsncy
was mainly a newspaper recreation have had
some little experience in these Vice-Presidential
booms and therefore have given little attention
to it. I desire that you, chairman OF the Iowa
delegation, should be fully advised as 70 my
views in respect to the matter.
Now, in the first place, this Is an Office which
I do not desire | have no ambition IN that d.
rectiOn. My ambitions are altogether in serving
our people from my place in the Senate. and
could not enter upon this candidacy without
great sacrifice Of my personal tncltnations and
of my interests we'll.
1 do not underrate the dignity OF the Office
and. of course, this honor Of being associated
with Mr.. Taft in the campaign is not one to De
treated lightly Notwithstanding these cousid-
eTatiOns l feel that my duty lies in the other
direction. I can render the party Just as good
service on the stump as if 1 were on the ticket
There are considerations also Of political
character local to our state which It seems 10
me, are almost peremptory in indicating nv
duty.
I feel that our delegation should be informed
of my attitude in this matter
You have my full authority to take srcb ar
tion as may be thought necessary to Withdraw
my name from consideration in connection with
this office II such consideration is found m ba
seriously contemplated. Very truly yours
j. P. DOLLIVER
NO action was taken by the delegation, ,-,t,

as an expression of Senator Delivers personal
Inclination in the matter. but there was gen

decide to present Senator Delivers name thew
could find way TO do So

State Committee OF Iowa. arrived to-day with a
number Of prominent men of the party outside
of the delegation. and began vigorously to pro-
claim the candidacy Of Senator DolIfver, saving
that the state desires the honor Of the nominal

number of policemen could be greatly
Idecreased. Now the city is lighted by
rows of arc lights, placed at brief in
tervals along its residence streets and
throughout its business district SO that
it is almost impossible for a law
breaker to ply his calling to better
advantage after nightfall than in day
time.
Recently the city adopted a plan of
lighting the alleys in the city which
were known to be the haunts of the
rougher element. When the alleys
were flooded with lights it was seen
that order was easily kept and the
necessity for policemen vanished. Ow-
ling to the vast amount of lights used
Denver's arc lights are furnished at
$50 per year, while cities using less
light, of the same population of Den
yer, pay on an average of 81 per year.
The additional expenditure for light
is more than compensated for by the
decreased cost of the police depart
ment and the expense of Furnishing

His wife, Flora Zabelle, came to

that no women will be admitted during

RAISING OF FAMILY MOST IMPORTANT

Washington, ID. c., March IL
President Roosevelt delivered a SER

bers of the National Mothers congress
which began it's annual session here

The mothers were received at the
White house before the formal work
of the congress was taken up.

the White house, many organizations
of good men and good women, striv-
ing to do all that in them lies for the
betterment of our social and civic con-
ditions. but there is no other society
which l am quite as glad to receive
as this" said the president. This is
the one body that put even ahead of
the veterans of the civil war, because
when all is said it is the mother, and
the mother only, who is a better cit
izen even than the soldier who fights
for his country.
Self-Indulgenee Sin.
Nothing in this life that is really
worth having comes save at the cos
of effort. No life of self-indulgence
of mere vapid pleasure, can possibly
even in the ione point of pleasure it
self, yield so ample reward a.

BOARD MAKES A RULING
After Local Option Petition Fails Sa-

Chicago, March 1.-THE question of
Sunday saloons will not be on the
ballot at the aldermanic election April

issue will be wiped out by a decision
Of the election commissioners hold
ing that the question of enforcing a
law is not proper for submission un-
der the public policy act.
There will remain the individual
contests in which the personal liberty
advocates and the liquor interests will
endeavor to defeat candidates for the
city council whose records do not suit
them, but the general issue which was
in formative stage two months ago
has disappeared.
The commissioners in conference
with County Judge Rinaker and At
torney Ayers reached a decision after
two days consideration of the propo-
sition of the United Societies to Sc
cure vote on Sunday saloons.
Efforts of Both Sides Vain.
When the temperance organiza-
tons which were interested in get.

of creating a local option district in
Chicago failed to secure~the necessary
number of signatures to their petition
half of the saloon issue was removed
from the election. The United So.
cieties, working to obtain the submis.
sion of the question of Sunday clos.
ing, were successful in getting more
than the necessary number of signers
but the decision of the election board
will make their work futile, and there
