KERR CERTAIN GUFFEY
WILL SUFFER DEFEAT

DENVER, July 5.--The Bryan men
of the Pennsylvania delegation held a
secret meeting tonight in the Savoy
hotel for the purpose of making prelim-
posed to ]. NJ. Guffey for national COM
mitteeman. Leaders of the faction
headed by James Kerr, who is being
put forward to oppose Mr.. Guffey, claim
the result was satisfactory and that
they have emo Ugh delegates to defeat
Guffey.
Mr.. Kerr said that she counted posi-
lively thirty four delegates who would
be against Guffey and If the nine con-
tests in Pennsylvania were decided in
their favor they would have forty
three, the majority of sixty-eight dele
gates"
Another meeting will be held tomor-
row morning.

There was talk tonight that IL his

choice of a vice presidential candidate
from the coast.
Quite a number Of diplomats are ex-
pected tomorrow, and about the same
time will arrive Mrs. Alice Roosevelt
Longworth, the presidents daughter,
who will be an interesting figure on the
convention platform next Tuesday.
The vice presidential situation has
undergone a change during the day,
owing to certain very definite subter-
ranean information from Lincoln to the
effect that Mr.. Bryan feels that 1t
would be wise to defer any definite
action as to the second place on the
ticket until the first place has been
finally disposed of.
This comes in such direct way that
II will doubtless have the effect of
postponing any caucus action by the
New York or other delegations favor
time the various boomlets are under
going varying fortunes. The Gray
forces are as insistent as ever that
Judge Gray will not take second place.
while the Bryan forces continue to talk
OF the availability OF Gray, Mitchell oS

with Gompers and other leading lights
of the labor world is expected to give
an impetus to the Mitchell movement,
although he comes primarily to aid
Gompers in shaping the labor planks.

Good Eject on Business.

Mr.. Bryan is continually asking why
some Of the managers of unlawful
trusts have not been convicted and sent
to the ~penitentiary? I sympathize
with him in his wish that this may be
done, because l think that the impris-
onment of one or two would have a
most healthy effect throughout the
country; but even without such I'M
prisonment, l believe that the prosecu-
tions which are now on foot and the
injunctions which have already been
issued have had q marked effect on
business methods.-Hon. VIM. II. Taft,

Swedes Who Left at Fatherland's
Call Coming Back to Adopted
Land.
Since last October, when the period
of industrial depression began in the
United States, more foreigners have re-
turned to Europe each month than have
come to the United States, with the ex-
ception of the month Of August, but
peculiar significance attaches to the
passenger list Of the Lusitania, which
arrived in New York last week. The
big steamer had on board 700 Swedish
immigrants, $50 of whom had returned
to Sweden last fall.
The returning son Of Sweden left
the United States last fall when times
were bad in this country. They had
listened to the representations of the
Swedish government officials, picturing
improved conditions across the ocean
and telling Of the desire Of the Swedish
people to have their native sons come
home and help in the u%pbuilding Of the
nation. This appeal to patriotism,
coupled with the desire to see home
once more, was a potent factor In caus-
ing the exodus Of Swedes. Now they
are returning to America with stories
of disappointment.
When the Swedish-American citizens
returned to Sweden they found wages
higher thar they had been In that coun-
try for years. but they also found that
the cost of living had grown, leaving
the margin of possible saving no larger
than in the old days. Above all, they
discovered that, owing to century-Old
prejudices and customs the working
man could not live in Sweden In the

A REAL HELPMEET.
Mrs. Taft Thinks Nothing Is Too
Good for Man Whose Name She

Good for Man Whose Name She
Bears.
To Mrs. Taft this presidential situa-
ton is almost the only thing in life
that does matter, and she makes no
attempt to act as if it didn't.
, In a visit to Hot Springs, Va, which
was made for the purpose of finding
out something about the daily life and
thought of Mrs. Taft during her sum
mer there, thus much was easily dis
coverable. She desires the presidency
for her husband. and she Furthermore
is trying to help him get it. Her place.
rather than in any of the above indi-
Gated circles, is among the r%ooters, on
the band Wagon high up, or in the van
Of the campaign advance agents.
She thinks that only the best life has
to offer is great and good enough for
her husband, and if the concentrated
power of the nation, aided by her own
personal efforts, can get it for him, it
is to be his. And this attitude repre-
sents the Mrs. Taft Of to-day. Per
haps she has other distinguishing
marks and characteristics, but they
have now faded into the unimportant.
She is never so weary as to be indif-
ferent, never so depressed by the Attic
tons Of the flesh as to be inactive in
her campaign duties, self-imposed, and
never so beset by things in all Of their
perverseness as to be impatient with
the situation.
Indeed, she is the n who started
this presidential agitation in the Taft
family, and she means, whoever else
lays down on his job to see 1t prop
er1y through. All during the long
hours of her summer at the springs her
mind forever is alert with the problems
of the campaign and their possible solu-
tons. And If she arrives at some of
them 1t will not be the first time that
her suggestions have guided our ship
of state.

ORDER OUT OF A
Secretary Taft Established Real
Self-Government for Cuba.

Self-Government for Cuba.
Aside from the Philippines and the
canal the greatest call that has been
made upon MI. Taft since he became
Secretary of War came from Cuba.
This was a case largely similar to the
Philippine problem. When our inter,
vention had freed Cuba from the Span,
ISL yoke we deemed it sufficient insur
ance of successful government for the
Cubans to require them to adopt a 0
stitution before we turned the islanG
over to them. We ignored the fac
tutions or understanding of their func
tons. SO when Cuba had conformed t
u requirement we sailed away from
Havana and left her to work out hel
own salvation unaided and untaught.
The result Of that folly was inevi
table and not long delayed. The Gu
bans having adopted a constitution they
had not the slightest idea of what to
do with it. They proceeded to govern
under the only system of which they
had any knowledge. The proclamation
of the President took the place Of the
cid royal decree. He created by his
fiat the departments of government
which should have been established by
law of Congress under authority of the
constitution.
The experiment was aimed toward
al - n,I s%r 1xyNaa{r tinv, yrnc N1inly1,-
realized. In September, 1906, the Unit
ed States had to intervene again, and
the task fell on Mr.. Taft. With his
experience Of the Filipino as a guide
and the magnetism of his personality
AS a lever, Mr.. Taft placated the war
ring factions and secured peaceable in
%tervention. Then he devised and set
up a provisional government which all
the Cubans accepted.
1t was the intention then to maintain
the government only long enough to
give the Cubans a fair election at
which they might select their own gov
eminent by full and free expression Of
their own will. But almost immediate
ly the provisional government discover
ed the fundamental mistake made by
the earlier American administration. 1t
found that the Cubans had been at
temptiH- to administer a government
which never had been organized and
existed only by virtue OF the Presi-
dents will. Patiently the provisional
government set to work. under the di-
rection of Mr.. Taft, to provide the or
ganization under the fundamental law
which the Cubans had never known
was the essential of successful self
government. The work is now nearing
completion. and when next the Ameri.
cans quit Havana it will be after turn.
ing over to the Cubans a government
machine properly established and fully
equipped, whose operation they have
been taught to understand and control
Thus, to two peoples has Mr.. Taft been
called upon to give instruction in prac.
teal self-government.

John Burroughs Contends That They

Animals have keen perceptions

but they form no conceptions, have
no powers of comparing one thing
with another They live entirely in
and through their senses. To all that
inner world of reflection imagination,
comparison, reason, they are strang-
ers. They never return upon them.

memory, sense intelligence, and they
profit in many ways by experience,
but they have not soul memory, or
rational intelligence. All the funda
mental emotions and appetites men
and the lower animals share In com
mon, such as fear, anger, love, hunger
Jealousy, cunning. pride, curiosity,
play; but the world Of thought and
thought experience, and the emotions
that go with It, belongs to man alone.
1t is as II the psychic world were di.

live the lower animals, only now and
