WRIGHT TO SUCCEED TAFT
CHANGE WILL TAKE PLACE ON
JUNE 30 NEXT.
A White House Statement Regarding
the Reasons for the APP
pointment.

Washington, June 20.-Secretary
Taft presented to the president Friday
his resignation to take effect June 81
and it was announced at the White
House that Luke E. Wright of Ten.
nessee will be appointed secretary OF
war to succeed Mr.. Taft
The statement given out at tht
White House concerning Mr.. Wrights
appointment says:
"As Philippine commissioner and
later as vice governor and governor,
he won the affection and regard of the
army to a high degree and many of
the most distinguished of the men
who served in the army at the time
he was in the Philippines have urged
his appointment because they felt in
a peculiar way that he was their cham.
pion and in a peculiar way understood
them and their needs. This is espe.
cially true as regards the men who
were union veterans of the Civil war,
for these grew to feel that he was al
ways specially interested in their well
fare.
Moreover, his great administrative
and legal ability both peculiarly fit
him to deal with the problems in the
Philippines, Panama and Cuba; for
the work of the war department is
now such that only man with spe-
cial fitness and unusual training is
able to do justice to it. OF all the
men in the country the president
feels that Luke Wright is the man
best equipped to take up the work
of the department which for the last
seven years has been under the con-
troll first of Root and then of Taft
"As young man he was a captain
in the confederate army. He is one
of the leading lawyers not only of his
state, but of the entire south. He has
also been foremost in advocating and
insisting upon fair treatment for the
colored people.
HE was appointed by President
Mckinley as one of the Philippine COM
mission and enjoyed President McKin-
ley's heartiest confidence, being Sc
lected as one of the southerners who
were in sympathy with his admins
tration. BY President Roosevelt he
was promoted first to be vice governor
and then governor of the Philippines
and was afterwards made first am
bassador to Japan. In all positions
he served with signal fidelity and
ability and has been in hearty and
outspoken agreement with the admin
istration in all its main policies"

Laundry work at home would be

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness Of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
or strength than other makes.

Women and the Suffrage.

The severest criticism of the stu

Prevost's opinion, the most universal
Indifference of women onithe subject
of voting. Neither the representa-
tive nor the voter" says this expert in
feminine psychology, "excites their
envy. They do not even think about
the vote, and if men offer it as a gift
they pay no attention, burst out laugh
ing or refuse point blank"

Waste and CareIessness That Enrich

eff we waste other things the way
we do stamps" said stamp clerk the
other day. 1--WE Americans are just
about the most wasteful people on the
face of the earth.
Uncle Sam is much more than half
a million dollars in pocket every year
as a result of carelessness in the use of
stamps The government never loses
anything by such carelessness and al
ways gains.
How many stamps do you put loos6
in drawer of your desk or in corner
of your pocketboOk and never think of
again until you come across them, aged
and torn, while rummaging about
months later? Then they are tossed
into the wastebasket.
Lots of people are careless about
putting stamps on envelopes and paper
wrappers. The result is that often be-
fore the stamp has been Cancelled it
has fallen off and the letter is held up
at the other end of the line until post
age is paid.
"a great many more folks put on too
much postage. They slap on two or
three stamps to a package that re-
quires only one. They are too busy or
too indolent to take the trouble to
have the package weighed and find
out how much postage, the package
requires.
IF too little postage is put on let
ter. Uncle Sam simply holds it up at
the other end until the postage due
has been paid. But if too much is put
on Uncle Sam simply pockets the ex-
cess to which he is not entitled and
says nothing. "-Chicago Tribune.

A Mountain of Alum.

In China, twelve and half miles
from the village of Liouchek. there is
a mountain of alum which in addition
to being a natural curiosity is source
of wealth for the inhabitants of the
country, who dig from it yearly tons
of alum. The mountain is not less
than ten miles in circumference at its
base and has a height of 1,94O feet
The alum is obtained by quarrying
large blocks Of stone, which are first
heated in great furnaces and then in
watts filled with boiling water. The
alum crystallizes out and forms a layer
about six inches in thickness. This
layer is subsequently broken up into
blocks weighing about ten pounds
each.

: Underground cellars ought to be done

age More sickness originates in them,
physicians claim, than anywhere else

place for a cellar is above ground and

Your vegetables can be stored with
less than half the labor when you do

them. You can keep an above ground
cellar clean with but little trouble,
while the underground one. being diff
