LONDON, July 1.-THE Londoa
newspapers anticipate an interesting
contest for the presidency of the
United States. This, they think, will
arise not so much from the difference
In the platforms OF the opposing part
les as from the striking personalities
Of their candidates. Mr.. Bryan hav-
ing dropped the free silver and other
extreme planks" is regarded as an
acceptable candidate, but as likely to
stand little chance against "Roose-
velt's nominee. His only chance, it
is thought, here will be from the sup
port given him by the labor party,
but this is expected to be more than
balanced by the accession OF the busi-
ness community Of Mr.. Taft.
The daily Chronicle regards Mr..
Bryan's policy as being the same as
that OF President Roosevelt, and says
II is a question of which OF the can
didates shall be entrusted with its
execution. Whoever is the victor,
the paper says, he will be man OF
high character, marked ability and
distinction.
The Daily Graphic says:
Whatever is really good in the
democratic creed is already an in
tegraI part Of the policy President
Roosevelt is bequeathing to Mr.. Taft,
hence there is no serious political
issue; it will be exclusively ques-
tion of persons.
The Saturday Review thinks that
Mr.. Bryan has an advantage in being
more prominent than Mr.. Taft and
suggests that the Nebraskan may
obtain stronger support from the
Pacific slope by the adoption of con-
gresham Hobson's naval views.
The Times in an editorial says:
1T would be rash to prophecy, but
II seems not unlikely that Mr.. Bryan
will go to the wall He never has
Had the opportunity of showing
whether he possesses capability for
constructive work and his speeches
and writings seem to be as deficient
m originality and craftsmanship as
they are in clearness and conference
Of thought. Still he has personality
and a real power among his own
people and the bulk of his party will
Eight strenuously for his success"

OF fraudulent by foreclosing the inter-

laws of the territory of Arizona with
capital stock of 100000 in order
to obtain possession of the property
of the Kimberley Company and then
agreed to exchange the stock Of this
company for that of the Consolidated
Gold Mining Company;that the Kim
berley Company sold about $4,000
shares of its stock at prices from 40
to Is cents share and that the Con-
solidated Company through Ryan

Kimberley money to pay off its
obligations The Kimberley comp

Sears, member of wealthy Boston
family and guest at the Hotel st.
Regis, committed suicide today by
jumping from a thirteenth story win
dow.
Mrs. Sears had been frequent visitor
at the St. Regis for several years. She
always came to the hotel accompanied
only by maid and frequently remain
ed there several days. Her actions were
described by the hotel people as cratic
and the maid always maintained a
close watch over her mistress.
The body of Mrs. Sears fell on the
roof Of a four story building adjoining
the st. Regis and the fall was heard
by the residents of that building Mrs.
Sears left a note to her husband in her
room at the hotel

FROM CASE FREDERICK.
Ex-Congressman Points Out Big Re-
form Initiated by Gov. Bailey.

To the Editor of the State Journal.
It has been give nout through the
newspapers that Senator F. Dumont
Smith and some others. who have
been prominent in the councils of the
Republican party in Kansas, will OPP
pose w. ]. Bailey for governor for the
alleged reason that he is not an ideal
refOrmer.
They say Mr.. Bailey, while governor,
did not initiate such reforms as are
now demanded. Have these modern
reformers forgotten that when Cover
nor Bailey discovered that the states
moneys were in danger he employed
expert accountants, and adopted vigor-
Gus measures to protect public funds?
For this he was denounced and ma
ligned by the then new political ma
chine. Mr.. Stubs and many of the
reform newspapers, as will be remem-
bered, joined this unh oily crusade ami
upheld the men by word and deed,
who in the language of the southern
Confederates wanted to be let alone"
Mr.. Bailey became disguised with this
turn of affairs and withdrew from the
contest for another term.
During the campaign which follow
ed there was such indignation and
revolt among the people over the
cause and manner of the unprecedent-
ed treatment of Mr.. Bailey that Mr..
Hoch and the state committee were
persuaded to announce that should Mr..
Hoch be elected governor he would
employ accountants and investigate all
the state departments. The public
speakers in the field were nstructed to
emphasize this determination. This
determination together with the
escrow witticism probably saved the
party from disaster.
Mr.. Hoch was elected governor and
after some delay accountants were en-
ployed and the second investigation
commenced. The report of this in
vestigation corresponded substantially
with that of the accountants appoint
ed by Governor Bailey. These investi-
cations and disclosures led to the &C
ton of the legislature in directing that
the public moneys be loaned, the state
to receive the interest. This removed
the cause of much scandal and was
one of the greatest reforms worked
out in Kansas for many years.
1t is true that these changes cSuld
not be completed in the two years of
Governor Bailey's administration, but
it is grossly unjust to charge a state
executive with a partial failure of re-
suits when the reactionists in his par
ty are organized and powerful enough
to defeat his policies and to limit his
opportunities to one term.

WITH THE
Yllle Clap

This game is of German origin, and
is very popular about the festive season.
The idea of "Yule Clap is to give a
little present to every member of the
party, and beforehand each gift is care
fully wrapped up in paper, with the
name of the recipient very distinctly
written; then comes another wrapper
with the name of another of the party
on it, and so on--the more the merrier,
till each little gift is wrapped in quite
number of papers, addressed diff
ferently. Then. when the party has as
sembled, the host comes to the door
with his parcels. and with a loud knock
and calling "Yule Clap" hands one into
the room; it is Immediately pounced
upon and opened by the youngster who
sees his name on it, but only to be
passed on when the second name is re-
vealed and so it goes round the rooms
causing much fun and excitement. till
it finds its rightfu1 owner-and with a
loud knock another "YuIe Clap" is
handed into the room. If time is linz
tied. or there are many guests, two or
three "Yule Claps7 may be set going

The Learned Horse =

A few years ago much interest was
aroused in Berlin by t.kluge Hans,
horse that was able to perform many
feats which seemed to show its pos
session Of extraordinary intelligence.
Among other things Hans would
reply to questions by mods of the head,
resolve arithme etical problems, appar-
emily understood words by reading
them Indicate the date, distinguish
inharnaonious chords in music, and SO
FORTH Many learned men examined the
horse and were puzzled to explain the
phenomenon, although none believed
that the animal possessed quasi human
Intelligence. a book has now been pub
lished about .skluge Hans by Oskar
Pfungst, who was charged by a scien-
tific commission to Investigate the
horses performances. Since it could
perform its feats in the absence of its
master Mr.. Pfungst concludes that it
must have taken its cues from uncon-
scious movements of the heads and
eyes of questioners. But even this i'm
plies that Hans was a very smart
horse.
