SPLITTING ELECTORAL VOTE.

The very bad habit which has OBJ
tanned in some states, but which is
diminishing-that Of splitting the cleo
toral vote-will probably be eliminat-
ed entirely i. the coming election.
Time was when it was by no means
uncommon to choose a delegation of
electors Of different political shades.
Last presidential election Maryland,
famous for it's deadlocks and the close
ness OF it's elections, had seven Par
ker electors and one Roosevelt elector.
The election before this was free
from divided electoral selections, but
when Bryan ran against Mckinley in
1896 Kentucky and Colorado both split
their votes on presidential choice.
In that year California from it's nine
electors gave one to Bryan, and Ken
lucky with its Is votes allowed one to
the democratic candidate. The per-
sonal popularity Of the electors often
occasions their election exactly as a
man might, as it is termed run ahead
of his ticket
When Cleveland was elected over
Harrison the last time no less than
five states chose delegations of cleo
tors of variegated political faith.
North Dakota, however, possesses
the record for this class OF political
idiOsyncracy. The bad lands state di-
vided its strength that year, giving
Harrison one, Cleveland one and
Weaver one.
This is the only case of its kind on
record, but it illustrates that the pop
ularity of an elector may have intlu-
ence where The vote is close.

The Duke and the SirIoin,

English like their beef better done
than we do
President Schaar smiled

very, very rare sirloin.
THE duke looked closely at the slice
of bright red meat. Then he said:
Waiter, just send for the butcher,
will you?'

mered.
Yes said the duke. This beef

BOOZE AND FAIRS.

No better illustration of the trend OF
public sentiment with regard to the
liquor question could be found than is
contained in the decision of the direc-
tors of the Spokane fair to prohibit
the sale of intoxicating drinks on the
grounds during the fair.
Twenty or even ten years ago, the
very thought that great fair, one In
which racing was a prominent feature,
could be run without a barroom adj
,junct, would have been laughed To
scorn. It would have been regarded as
an exhibition OF sheer idiocy. But
today, the decision of the fair direc-
tors to eliminate booze from the fair
grounds receives but scant newspaper
mention.
Truly, the reaction against the teri,
perance wave is not yet observable.

Fire at Happy Hollow.

Happy Hollow was the scene Of q
destructive fire Tuesday evening,
when two buildings dwelling and
"a ware house-were burned to the
ground, In spite Of the vigorous ri-
forts of PikevilIe citizens to save
them.
On account Of their being so far
removed from the town proper access
could not be had to water works,
and the fire fighters had to carry
water from the river, and in addition
to this, they did not reach the scene
Of the conflagration until after both
buildings were nearly burned down.

TAFT ADMINISTRATION
To End ROOseveltiSm Every Vestage
Of The Big Stick To Be
Wiped Out.

Washington, Nov. 21,-There Will
not be vestige OF Rooseveltism, 80
called, In the Taft administration.
Decplte the public recognition u
Judge Taft BY Mr.. Roosevelt as the
heir TO my policies" there is abso-
lutte authority for the statement that
the incoming administration will
mot make any pretense Of carrying
out those policies which have come
90 be regarded as distinctly Roose-
yeltan In character.
This does not mena that Judge
Taft Is going TO turn his admlnistra-
ton over TO the burglars" 10 use
= colloQulal term much In vogue
among Washington newspaper cor
respondents 70 designate certain
class OF politicians who represent
IN office or party councils sundry
Interests which are not In good
rspute with the public Just at pres
eet
But the statement does mean that
Jpdge Taft will not have about him
any OF the rah-rah boys OF the presen
administration, and that he viii not
keep up a semblRnce Of the octo-
pus-baitibg which has been char
aeterlstic Of the administration q
Mr.. Roosevelt. and which appears
70 have delighted the populace.
The man from whom ] obtained the
Information On which the foregoing
4 based should know pretty nearly
everything that Is 10 the mind OF
Judge n,ft, This informant, who
Il one Of the leading men Of the
RepabllcRn party, says that IT Is
extremely doubtful whether one Of
the present cabinet continues 10

excepting James Wilson, Secretary
n Agriculture, who 10 language whlcl

few men have enjoyed
All the rest win so, according to
the authority mentioned. Secretary
Root win retire with Mr. Roosevelt
but he viii already have been chosen
10 succeed Thomas c. Plat as Sen,
ator from New York. II IS well un-
deHtood by both President Roosevelt
and Judge Taft that Mr.. Root Is
TO have absolute control Of the Re-.
publican organization in New York;

In 19l6--well the public rememem-
bers the speech of Nick Longworth

Taft for the presidency for eight
years then 7. X. for another term
or two The Indications are very
apparent that the administration from
the outset will be constituted Of men
who will be sofully for the renomina-
ton OF William Howard Taft in
1912.
The same authority referred to a.
bove Is the source OF the positive
statement that Myron T. Herrick, Of
Ohio, Is to be the Secretary of the
Treasury, and that two years later.
In 1911, he is TO have Senator Dicks
place In the Senate Of the United
States. There has not been
the slightest doubt for some time,
despite the talk OF Charles P. taft
for the honor, that Representative
Theodore. u. Burton. OF Cleveland,

the Taft administration and that of
Roosevelt during the remainder Of
his life. also, for that matter, IN

Foraker will be-can be beaten.

solutely Authoritative outline Of the
policy which the Taft administration
win pursue stated In general terms
although somewhat lacking in de-
tails regarding the personel OF the
Cabinet, The administration will no

there Is suspicion that Mr. Roose,

/ II is limited that the pursuance q
arything like "reactionary policy
by the Taft administration would MOI
be entirely displeasing to, Mr.,

popularity could not be lasting, and
