Patriotic Education.

John r. Woods. Patriotic Instructor
of WetZel-Compton Post, Hamilton, o.,
writes to the Y. NJ. c. A. letter, which
is published in the papers, urging that
the Association make special effort
to inculcate patriotism along with
Christianity He urges that all the
rooms be frightened by the presence
of the Stars and Stripes, and that the
book shelves be stocked with Ameri-
can authors. Lecturers should be en-
gagged to discuss themes in the history
of our country.

The Minnesota Conventions added
materially to the Secretary's column
during the week. All but one of the
Congressional Districts voted instruc-
tions for him. The remaining district.
the Seventh, indorsed his candidacy, and
two votes, which are put down in the
unlnstructed column, are probably for
him, as are several Massachusetts dele
gates. There has also been a big gain
for the Secretary in Virginia, due to the
action of the State Convention at Lynch
burg. 1t turns out that several of the
District Conventions in Virginia voted
that their delegates should go unin-
structed, unless the State Convention
voted instructions, in which event the
district delegates should follow the lead
of the Lynchburg Convention.
Several Conventions remain to be
held in Northern States, but the fight
ing in many of them is rather for the
control of the organization in those
States and districts than for the choice
of delegates, who will vote against the
Secretary's nomination. Several big
fights are being waged in the Southern
States, notably in Texas. There seems to
be no REIMBURSEMENT of the purpose to
send contesting delegations from those
States.
1t is significant that the allies are
showing less heart for the Southern
than they were showing up to
a week or two ago, because they are
beginning to believe that President
Roosevelt and Secretary Taft have cap
tured a majority of the National Com
mittee, which will have powerful voice

feat The name of Assistant Secretary
of State Robert Bacon, who was a class
mate of the President at Harvard and
who is a member of the tennis cabinet,
has been suggested for the portfolio,
but that turned out to be a bad guess.
Mr. Bacon says he would not have the
job. and will. under no circumstances,
be the next Secretary of War.
The Taft boom has taken a further
jump the past week with the assem-
bling of conventions in several States.
The tally for the nomination of the Sec
retary of War now stands at 213, with
out counting any of the delegates from
Massachusetts,, where, according to the
figures kept at National Committee
headquarters, "a delegates have been
chosen, all either without Instructions
or under resolutions of preference.
The Opposition's Strength.
Conservative Taft statisticians are
putting his column at 231 delegates,
with claim, probably pretty substan-
tial, that he is reasonably sure of at
least 275 of the 548 delegates elected to
date. This is conceded on every hand in
Washington to be big lead toward the
nomination. As result the diminish
ing interest of the allied candidates is
more and more apparent. They by no
means admit that the campaign has
reached the over-but-the-shoJt ting
stage. 1t still seems that the Secretary
cannot possibly enter the convention
with a clear majority of pledged dele
gates. Put he now undoubtedly has more
than, 200 votes outside of his home State
of Ohio. No other candidate is sure of

This opposition strength will be in
creased somewhat. Senator Knox will
receive four more votes from Pennsyl-
vania when the State Convention assem-
bles. Gov. Hughes will have the Is un-
instructed delegates that have been
named in New York State and probably
most of the other delegates yet to be
elected there. 1t is noteworthy how
ever, that Taft has. votes in all the
favorite son States except Pennsylvania
and Indiana. He has two each in Hi
nois and New York and one in Wiscon-
sin.

Talking Machines Elevate Musicni
Taste.
The growth of the talking machine
business during the last decade mas
been marvellous indeed. few years
ago talking machines We're handled
chiefly by musical instrument stores
as a mere novelty. To-day, these same
stores derive large part OF their
revenue from the talking machine
business,eand many large institutions
have sprung up that rely solely upon
this commodity. The great popularity
which tho talking machine has attain
+ ed is due largely to the perfection to
which the instrument has been brought
and to the fact that the talking ma
chine satisfies an Unborn longing FOR
good music.
The industry has developed certain
marked chacteristics. One OF the most
obvious of these Is the largely increas-
ed demand among people of refinement
and means. But by far the most Inn
portant characteristic is the rapidly
growing popularity of the records Of
better class of music.
Records He nuys.
IL is an interesting study for the
merchants selling records to note the
stages OF development through which
the talking machine owner passes, The
first records are bought to amuse only.
The nero novelty Of song and speech
