AS YOU LIKE IT.
Some Stray Leaves from Reporter's
 Note Book.


 A friend of the As You Like It man offers the following suggestions to those who have not yet made their resolutions for the New Year: Don't whine at your misfortunes or mis- haps. Take what comes to you and do your best with it. Make the bravest fight you can; train yourself to see the cheerful side of things, even the funny side of the mishaps you cannot help. Strangle com plaints with a laugh--a cheery laugh is good for heart and brain, and clears the mists from the eyes or faith. Endure what must needs be endured, go forward bravely. A day is not a day well spent unless you have tried to send ray of sunshine into some clouded life. What will you do to-day? You may be busy here and there with your household cares or the vexatious details of your business, but you should take time to make some one happy. ...

Ohio Senators Declare They Will ls-
 nore State Convention Call.

Cincinnati. Jan. I. - Both Senators Foraker and Dick have decided they will not be bound by the conditions of the call issued at Columbus for tho Ohio Republican convention. Foraker says the call Is q defiance of the stat utes and a usurpatiOn of the voters rights. Senator Dick has telegraphed from Akron that he will stand by For aker to the end. It is now fight be- tween the federal machine and the Republican voters who stand with the two United States senators and Gov ernor Herrick.
 The extreme probability Is bOlting convention and a split in Ohio that will lose the state to the party should Taft ba nominated. Foraker said that he would ignore and would advise all counties to ignore the rules laid down in the cali This of course will mean coutesting delegations.

the companies agreed to sign years

was passed at mass meeting attend
ed by 1000 members Of the union, fol.
lowing bitter attack on railroads by
international president, P. j. Flannery.
Without a dissenting voice the union
passed the measure which ultimately
may mean the tying up of the greater
part of the freight business of the
city. Should the railroads refuse the
demand of the freight handlers and
fail to sign the desired contract within
the prescribed time, the union voted to
allow the calling of the strike to rest
in the hands of President Flannery and
the executive board and to allow them
TO use whatever methods they believe
best TO win the fight.

NEW YORK VOTE IS
NOT FOR BRYAN.
Nobody Nominated Until After the Con-
yentiOn Meets, Says Charles F.
Murphy.

New York, July I've win not re-
gard anyone as nominated until after

to Denver to deliberate"
This is Charles J. Murphy's final word
as 10 the position OF the New York dele
cation will take at the Democratic ma
tional convention. Blr. Murphy vail
probably start for Denver to-day.
IL is pretty generally understood now
that Bryan will not get the vote of New
York in the convention if he needs it.
In other words, so long as there appears
to be any chance Of preventing his nom
nation, New York will hold out for
some other candidate. But not many
of the Tammany men have any idea that
Bryan can be beaten in the convention,
and they expect to have TO swing into
line for him.
Mr.. Murphy declined TO say anything
about the dozen or more New York Dem
oerats who are being mentioned as pos
sible nominees for vice president. lie
made it quite plain, however, that none
OF them has the backing of the organiza-
ton at the present time.

Col. Hepburn is not the only man in

TAFT SELECTS HIS CHAIRMAN.
Report Says He Has Chosen "Compro-
mise" in Interest Of Harmony.

Washington, July 1.-The snarl over
the selection of chairman of the Re-
publican national committee has de-
veloped into an ugly one. 1t now is
clear that mistake was made in not
settling the matter at once when the
subcommittee fet in Cincinnati imme.
diately after the convention. The de-
lay has given time for the different can
didates to deluge Mr.. Taft with letters
and kilograms in behalf Of their respec-
tive claims. It is plain that the longer
the problem has remained unsolved the
more embarrassing it becomes and the
greater has been the tendency to bit
ter feeling.
There is reason to believe, however,
that the craftsmanship at least has been
practically settled, and that Mr.. Taft
has determined on his man. Who he is
remains mystery, and may remain so
until July s, when the Subcommittee
meets again. The best information is
that it is not to be either Hitchcock of
Vorys, but third man, whose selection
will tend to allay the heart. burnings of
both the Hitchcock and Voreys parti-
sans. Several names are suggested in
speculation among them being Post
master General Meyer, Harry New and
Senator Long Of Kansas.

A CANNON REVOLT.
Organized Effort to Defeat Him For
Speaker.

| Washington, July IAN organized
effort is said to have been discovered
to defeat Uncle Joe" Cannon for speak
or of the Sixty first Congress if the Re-
publicans carry the House. He has
been tagged as an undesirable reaction
ary and must be eliminated, so the re.
port goes.
Iowa is expected to lead the revolt
against the Illinois congressman. III
the first place, iowa has wanted the
speakership honors for years as a
tribute to her old veteran, Col. "Pete''
Hepburn. In the second place, the
state is not in sympathy with some OF
Cannon's policies.
The action of Republicans in Guthrie
county, Iowa, adopting resolutions
calling upon Rep. Walter /. Smith, one
of the most influential men in the
House, and one who is generally re-
garded as needing no instructions, to
vote against Joseph G. Cannon for
speaker, is said to be the first step in
the campaign, Other Iowa organiza
tons viii follow suit, and it is pre-
dicted that many of the congressman
from that state win have the organi.
cations, upon which they depend for
election, demanding the defeat of Can
non and the selection of Hepburn to
succeed him.
Should Iowa lead off in this matter,
most OF the northwestern states will
follow her, it is calculated. Wisconsin
is said to be up in arms against the
drastic rules OF the speaker that have
squeezed the La Toilette disciples SO
hard that they have been able to do
nothing more effective than to make a
futile protest. Not one solitary crumb
of reform have they been able to bring
forth to the hungry reformers in the
Badger state, and they say it is all be-
cause "Uncle Joe" will not allow them
to do anything to save the nation.
Some of them have spoken their minds
on the floor Of the House, while others
contented themselves with beraking over
party lines when the speaker cracked
the whip to carry out some of his
plans.
Minnesota, Michigan, Nebraska, Calf
fornia and Kansas are counted on to
vote for a change in affairs in the
House. while scattering representatives,
disgruntled by the way things have
been run in the House during the last
three congresses are classed with those
who will vote against the Illinois mem.
Der.
1t is said that organized labor will
urge The fight against Cannon. The
speakers opposition to the passage Of
legislation demanded by the American
Federation of Labor and his fight at
Chicago against the anti-injunction
plank in the Republican platform has
whetted the hatred OF organized labor
for him. Fl some Of the Republican
