his clerk. 1t was this which in

A man who has never rolled a
ball should begin with one weigh
ing II or 10 pounds. When he has
had considerable practice h can
use a 14-pound ball and as his con-
troll improves, graduate to a 16-
pound regulation ball.
Heavy balls bring the best re-
suits. The question of rolling a
straight or curved ball will settle
itself. The player should roll ma
turally, not attempt to initiate the
style of some successful bowler
1t is important that a beginner
should roll on different alleys. To
confine himself to one set, means
that the peculiarities of the pair

Bowling is the great winter
game because it deserves to be.
There has been tremendous in
crease in the popularity of the
sport because people are becom-
ing familiar with its merits.
The uncertainty appeals. A
champion may fall before a third
rater. Not in the long run, but in
a game or two. Such possibilities
keep interest alive.
The fascination of bowling is not
of the best means of exercise, be-
cause it brings into pay all of the
muscles. And interest is so great
that one gets exercise without IA
tigue. 1t is play, not work.

Harvesting the Winds.

Denmark, low country lying
between two seas, has plenty of
wind and it is utilizing it on
scale that has never been equaled
before. Windmills have been used
for time out of mind to pump
water and to grind grain. Their
appropriation of the unlimited
power rushing by them has been
restricted, as it has not been posi-
BILE to store the power or to COM
bine effectively the force of several
windmills or make the hurricanes
surplus energy do duty in days of
calm.
These defects are cured by con-
verting the wind power into cleo
tricity and equa!izing its use
through the storage battery. Dem
mark is taking advantage of this
to convert its wind power into
electric power for commercial pur-
poses. 1t is stated that wind of
fifteen miles an hour will produce
eight horsepower, and that a
twenty mile gale will develop
eighteen horsepower. AS the
power of many windmills can be
concentrated and made to serve IA
single plant, there is infinite pos
sibility in this resource in any
section blessed with frequent
winds of considerable force.
The United States has abundant
wind-swept territory. The sea-
shores, highlands and prairies
everywhere have an unlimited sup
ply of this force. 1t can be con-
verted into electric power and COM
bined and stored for use as readily
here as in Denmark. The utiliza-
ton of this wind power would
lessen the drain on our diminish
ing wood and coal supplies, and
supplement the water power as "a
means of furnishing the land with
electric energy for commercial
purposes.-Philadelphia Press.

The Chieftain does not wish to
be understood as expressing the
belief that the Republicans will
carry all these states. In fact in
some of them the chances are very
strongly against Republican sue
cess. But they are not sure Demo-
cratic states of the same class as
Texas, Oklahoma and Mississippi.
The Chieftain believes that the
Republicans will carry the first
five of the states named, that they
have more than an even chance in
Kentucky, and that Missouri will
be contested by the Republicans
with fair prospect of success. If
the Republicans should carry any
one of the remaining three, it
would not be greater surprise

Miners Organizations Will
Not Endorse Bryan

No matter what action President
Gompers of the American Fedora
ton of Labor may take regarding
the support of w. j. Bryan for the
presidency, the United Mine
Workers of America and the West
ern Federation of Miners as labor
organizations will stay out of the
campaign.
President Lewis of the United
Mine Workers of America, in dis
cussing Mr.. Gompers' probable
action. this week stated that so far
as the United Mine Workers were
concerned they will vote as they
please individually and that the
organization will not attempt to
interfere with them. He said his
organization is not political
organization in any sense of the
word
Secretary Kerwin of the West
ern Federation of Miners spoke
practically in the same language
in discussing his orders.
"Individually,n said Mr. Kerwin,
'.the Western Federation members
are by "a large majority Socialists,

four years ago.
Every Republican voter, and
especially every Republican that
desires to participate in the cam
paign, should make himself famil-
lar with these statements of the
electoral votes. They contain the
very essence of the political sltua-
ton.
The most important fact at the
beginning of the campaign is that
if Bryan carries all the doubtful
states he will not come within 80
votes of getting a majority of the
electoral college.
With that for starting point,
it will be the cheerful ambition of
all Republicans and of a great
many Democrats to make Bryan's
final defeat as far-reaching as is
possible.

Colorado Banks in
Good Condition.

Colorado has again shown that
"A condition of prosperity exists
here which is not found in any
other section of the country. The
call of the comptroller of the cur
rency for statement of the con-
dition OF the banks at the close of
business on July 10, which was
issued last week, shows that the
seven Denver national banks con-
tinue to gain in deposits, while

PROsPERITY'S RETURN.

That this country is rapidly re-
covering from the effects of last
falls financial depression is the
consensus of opinion expressed by
competent authorities.
The distri button of nearly $500
100000 i'll interest and dividends
July l is expected to start things.
To supplement this the appropria-
tions made by congress are now
available, which means an increas-
ed activity in every department of
government work.
From the railroad circles comes
the news that Mr.. Hartman CON
templates the expenditure of $780,
100000 on his properties in the
way of extensions and betterments,
and that the New York Central
lines will proceed at once to carry
out plans for needed improve
ments, which were laid aside when
the October panic made its appear
ance. The Pennsylvania made
provision some time ago to expand
its business and it is believed these
examples will be followed by every
railroad in the country.
1t is important in this connec-
ton to note that the proposition
to increase freight rates has been
dropped and there is no longer
talk of reducing the wages of rail-
way employees. In fact, the officials
are SO busy preparing for the de-
mands of business, present and
prospective, that they haven't time
to talk about the wage reduction
or increase of rates.
The quickened pulse of business
has already manifested itself in the
demand for more equipment. A
few months ago there were 100000
or more idle freight cars on the
side-tracks. The number is rapid
ly diminishing, and before Sep
tember /, it is thought the supply
will be entirely exhausted. The
hour which proclaims this condi-
tion will mark the complete restor-
alton of business.
Affairs are quite as promising in
the industrial world Even before
the railroads began to feel the
thrill of a new energy mills and
factories were calling in their idle
employees and gradually adding tc
their output. The movement, slow
at first, is growing rapidly. Nor is
it confined to any section; the cot
ton factories of New England, the
steel mills in the Pittsburg dis
trict, and the great industries in
the middle and far west share il
the impulse which presages the
beginning of another prosperous
era.
And the farmer, too, is full t.
the brim of industry. He suffered
less from the money stringenc,
than his brother in the city, ant
was, therefore, less pessimistic

THE DOUBTFUL STATES.

The presidential campaign of
1908 presents many novel features.
In no other campaign within the
memory of the present generation,
were the chances of success so
overwhelmingly in favor of one of
the contestants, and it is hardly
too much to say that Immediately
after the nominating convention,
the election of Taft and Sherman
was assured, insofar as future
events can be spoken of with GER
tainty, says the Pueblo Chieftain.
OF the q states that cast their
electoral votes for Mckinley
against Bryan in 1900, aud also
cast their electoral votes for
Roosevelt against Parker in 1904,
there is not one that can be reason
ably considered as anything but
safely Republican, and any other
estimate of the result in those
states rests either upon unfounded
optimism and partisanship, or else
upon the conviction that an un-
warranted claim is the only alter
native to confession of defeat.
Those q states will cast this
year IA total of BOB electoral votes,
which is 81 more than the number
necessary to secure the election of
the Republican candidates.
On the other hand it is not at all
certain that all the states that
voted for Bryan in 1900 and for
Parker in 1904 will cast their
electoral votes for the Democratic
candidates this year. New ele-
ments have entered into the politi-
cal problem, and the Republicans
have at least fighting chance in
states that have not been consider
ed doubtful in former years, with
a. good psospect that the electoral
majority for Taft this year may
exceed all former records since the
parties took their present form.
There are. however, nine states
that may be described as surely
Democratic and it is impossible to
conceive of any turn in political
events that will change their stand
ing. These nine states are Ala
bama, Arkansas, Florida, Louisi-
ana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South
Carolina, Texas and Virginia. and
they have IA total of 80 electoral
votes.
The remaining 10 states are the
doubtful states of the campaign of
1908. In them the contest will be
waged, and while it will not change
the presidency if all of them go
Democratic or if all of them go
Republican, the party leaders will
wage lively political warfare for
these states.
These 10 states with their cleo
toral votes are as follows, the
arrangement being in the order of
their Democracy, progressively,
that is TO say, those at the top
being those in which the Republi-
cans have the best chance of sue
cess, while those at the bottom are
those most likely to give their
votes for Bryan and Kern:
