two dollars on her promissory note,
dated October lst, 1905, subject to GER
tain credits therein stated: that the
said dccedent died in 1905 so indebted
to the petitioner and others and having
real estate of great value, but no per-
sonal property, and leaving surviving

and by decree of this Court said prop
erty was sold by Oliver d. Collins,
trustee, and the sale has been finally

POLITICAL sPEcULATtoNs

No southern state is liable TO give
Mr.. Taft an electoral vote. The men
of IL. south will not vote "a Republi-
can ticket. We mean, of course,
those who still cherish the bitterness
of the war, and that includes a ma
jority of southern born men. Again,
Democrats quarrel before nomina-
lions, but when they are made the
old discipline of the party comes IN
and the decision of most OF them Is
that the worst kind OF q Democrat Is
better than the best Republican, and
that settles II. Then, too, Is the hope
OF spoils.
But then, too, is Mr.. Hearst and his
party and Tom Watson with the reg
ular Populist nomination. We think
both of these will harm the Republic
can party In the north and old west
as much as they will the Democracy:
but how will IL be in the south? How
I'm Georgia for instance? Is it not
possible that they may give that
state to their own home candidate?
And II Georgia, what of the ad1oin-
Ing states-Alabama, South Carolina,
Tennessee and Florida? There Is
not much In the Denver platform that
appeals much to Populists. Twelve
years ago and eight years & Mr..
Bryan wrote the platforms for the
Populists. But this year he is out
and out Democratic, and Tom Wat
son, whose sphere of influence in the
south Is large, openly denounces Mr..
Bryan. He Is much carer in accord
with Mr.. Hearst than with Mr.. Bryan.
We mention these factors merely to
show the possibilities. of he coming
three months.
On the other hand what are the
states that Mr.. Taft can certainly de-
pend upon? We think he is sure OF
Ohio, for Mr.. Foraker is too good a
party man TO seek TO divide Republi-
can forces when a fight is on: more
over he has promised to honestly
support Mr.. Taft. We think Pennsyl
vania likewise Is sure for him, and al
the New England states except Con
necticut. New York, New Jersey
Connecticut and Indiana will each be
n battle ground this year. We think
Mr.. Bryan's show is good in Indiana;
we look On the other three states as
very doubtful, because that nameless
discomfort In the hearts of thousands
of voters as IL was in '92, and wher
a great many men get in that mood
no one can safely anticipate what will
be. In the west we rather expect tC
see Nevada and Montana go Demo
cratic. We do not believe that any
other far west state will. Colorado
is another state which we place II
the doubtful list.
AS the matter is presented today
all the indications are for a battle
royal. The Democracy will go into
the campaign with more confidence
than II has had since the war, and al
this date the Republicans are not
as sanguine as usual. However they
are not cast down and will put up

Hearst VS. Bryan.

The animus behind Mr.. Hearst's
independence party" says the Chi
cago Journal. is so plain that nobod1 ,
can help seeing it.
Four years ago Mr. Hearst thought
ne was a candidate for the democratic
nomination for president. He spent
hundreds of thousands of dollars try
ing to get delegates, and obtained a
few. but democrats generally regarded
him with so much dislike that when
the convention met he cut a ridiculous
figure.
His ambition fouted, himself dc
rided made to feel Enthusiastically tina,
democrats would not take him into
their councils. Mr. Hearst subsidized
But not calmly, for rage was in hi.
heart and desire for revenge.
He saw, after Parker's defeat, that
Bryan would inevitably be the candi.
date in 1908. Bryan was the logical
leader of the democratic party, ana
when the party refused to have any
thing to do with Hearst, Hearst held
Bryan responsible. He determined
then to wreak his vengeance on Bryan
this year.
By means of vast expenditure oil
money. he built up an organization
in various states. and last month had
this pscudo-party nominate candi
date for president, at an imitation
convention held in Chicago. Though
he talks about purity in politics ant
freeing the country from boss rule
ne hopes only to take enough vote,
from Bryan to make certain Taft's
election. Bryan is the enemy 70,
whom he is lying in wait. knife il
hand. His body is full of bitterness,
and hatred. and he longs to relieve
himself by taking Bryan's scalp.
That this is true is evident from
his newspapers. which have apparent
ly forgotten all their old luminosity
against republican leaders and are
0usily engaged in berating Bryan anf
the men who are managing the Bryan
campaign. Hearst has nothing bu
harsh words for Bryan. whose honesty
and sincerity he says he doubts ant
who, if elected, would be. Hears
charges, helpless tool of trusts.
But Hearst's denunciation will no
harm Bryan, any more than it harmed
William Mckinley.

The larynx.

The larynx has been compared to
wind, reed and a stringed instru-
ment. The comparison Of it to violin
gave rise 10 the not very accurate
phrase vocal chords as the name of
the two cushions which are its most
prominent features. But no string so
short as those vocal chords could pro-
duce musical bass note. In fact, the
comparison of the larynX to any instru-
ment which produces only musical
tones is Inadequate 10 begin with.
There is no instrument but the larynx
which produces both song and speech,
and as those comparisons view the
larynx merely as producer of mu-
steal sounds we have no further con-
Germ with them at present. Besides,
the voice can be trained for speech,
elocution and orat0ry without a knowl-
edge of the physiology of the larynx.
We have the power of adjusting the
larnyy, of varying the tension of its
cords, cushions or ligaments, as they
have been yariously called. We can
do these things without scientific tech
meal knowledge of how they are done.
without any knowledge at all of vocal
physiology. and it is the work of the
trainer of the voice TO teach the pupils
how TO do them.-Chambers Journal.
