TAFT RESIGNS WAR PORTFOLIO
Luke +. Wright, an EN-Confederate,
Will Succeed Him.

Washington, June 19.-Secretary
of War Taft to-day handed to Presi-
dent Roosevelt his resignation from
the Cabinet.
The correspondence between Pres
ident Roosevelt and Secretary Taft
relating to the latter's resignation is
very brief. Secretary Taft simply
rendered his resignation to take eff
feet June 80 next, and the President
accepted 1t. .
The President to-day announced
the appointment of Luke e. Wright,
Of Tennessee, to succeed Taft. Speak
Ing of the appointment Mr.. Roose-
| welt said
"Of all the men in the country 1
feel 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 a young man he was a cap
tain In the Confederate army. He is
one OF the best lawyers not only Of
his State, but of the entire South.
He has also been foremost in advo-
eating and insisting upon fair treat
ment for the colored people. He first
definitely established his reputation
in the terrible days of the yellow
| fever epidemic at Memphis, when he
practically made himself mayor of
the town and took charge of all the
relief measures, showing what may
Justly be called devotion to duty and
Indifference to his own life, together
with the masterful qualities of a sue
cessful administrator in a great cri-
sis. He was himself struck by the
plague he was fighting, but lived to
see 1T stamped out and himself to
take part in introducing into Mem
phis the hygienic measures which
have since made 1t one of the model
health cities of the world"

Two Citizens of Clio Arrive in Sheri- laD With Five Children Who We're Bitten By Alleged
 Mad Dog.

As a result of a mad-dog scare at Clio, Saturday. and the fact that six children were bitten by dog said to be rabid, five of the children were brought here Sunday by their parents and the maidstone owned by F. K Marks, of this city, was applied to their wounds, says the Sheridan Headlight. The parents of the sixth child who was bitten carried it to a maidstone at Searcy
 The three-year-old daughter of Asa Faulkner; the eight -year-old daughter of Lee Tucker; the ten-year-old son of Pierce Koon; the six-year-old son of MT. Brazelle, and the five-year- son of Pierce Koon, were playing with the dog, when the animal suddenly began snapping at the children, and all of them were bitten The maidstone was applied to the wounds of the first three children named, and stuck for more than an hour each although the wounds were not deep. The two last named children had only been bruised by the dogs teeth and the stone did not stick

40, ,OOO ELKS WILL

Monster Convention to Be Held In July Which, It Is Expected. Will At. tract at Least 100000
 Visitors.

Dallas, Tex, May 24.-4Hon. W. H. Atwell, chairman of the Elks reunion committee, said today that at a very conservative estimate, 10000 Elks will visit Dallas during the annual con- vention in July That means at least 100000 strangers in Dallas reunion week." continued Mir. Atwell. s.It is conservative to say that of the 5000 Elks in Texas 4,000 will attend the convention. We can figure on 1000 from Oklahoma, 300 from Louisiana and 800 from Pennsylvania. Kansas will come 300 strong and Colorado as strong again. Atlanta, Ga, will send a delegation of 40 and Los Angeles, Cal. delegation of 100. A contingent of 150 from New York, reinforced by 100 from New England lodges, will come by water via Galveston. New Jersey will send 600, Iowa, 100, Wyo-

The shipment om canteloupes will not be so heavy by nearly half, but that, too, is a big industry. The shipments of onions are now going rapidly for ward, and at the present rate it ap- pears that last years record of 1000 cars will be raised to 100 cars this year Other vegetables are being ras- ed in proportionate quantities. and the trucking industry promises to be the biggest thing in the country when it is further developed.

 In other words, Mr. Atwell is of the opinion that the Elks will bring the largest crowds that have ever assem- hled in Dallas and as most of the vis- tors will remain several days, the re- union will be worth more to Dallas in dollars and cents, than an annual en- tertanment of the stae fair.

An Effective Suggestion.

In a recent issue of the Chicago
Record-H Herald there appears lead
ing editorial on the subject OF
Liquor Traffic in Disorderly
Houses The chief suggestion in
the editorial goes right to the heaIl
o. most pernicious evil. 1t is that
the sale Of liquor in such houses be
absolutely prohibited. 1t is first
pointed out that the municipality
must make the trade locally unlaw-
full; and II this were generally ac-
complished, organized effort could
easily follow which would prevail
upon the federal government not to
issue licenses except to those whose
trade was legitimate under the pro-
visions Of local law.
1t is hardly necessary to argue
the beneficial effect OF such an ar
rangement. Everyone understands
that the bawdy-house is the recruit
ing place Of crime: and it is equally
matter of knowledge that the
sale of drinks in such an establish
hAOAS Ao VIC NAICl oOuiSO VI
More than this, as the Record-Her-
aid is at pains to specifically illus
trate, the liquor traffic in these
places is especially demoralizing to
young men who begin to daily with
vice, more from curiosity than from
inherent evil inclinations. Left to
their sober senses, a considerable
percentage of the unsOphisticated
patrons of these places are siezed
with disgust; but under the stimu-
lus of liquors, sold to them at ex-
horbitant prices. the moral senses
are blunted and the unipitiater be-
comes a victim to the fury of dissi-
patton.
The federal feature that ig
brought into this suggestion implies
iar-reaching and effective rene "
as against the corrupting influen 'es
Of these places. Resort keepers
stand IN fear Of the federal govern
ment. They know that to violate
it's legal mandates Is to incu" pun
ishment that is swift and sure. II
they were without the pale of the
federal law, not to he recognized
at least at liquor sellers. except
when they violate that law, the
fear of punishment would remain
and 1t would rest entirely with
enactment whether this
most dangerous branch Of their ne
farious business was eliminated or
not.-Portland Telegram.
