that there lis far more at stake in
the movement for a compromise in
Louisiana than appears on the sur
face. Similar contests are pending
from Mississippi, Missouri, North Car
olina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Tex
as and Virginia. The plea for
compromise in Louisiana is based on
the argument that the negro question
is involved and that some recognition
to appease the negro voters of the
south should be given the Foraker
delegation. In all the contests men
toned the issues are involved with
the race question. More than 15O
delegates are involved in the settle
ment of these contests from the
southern states.
Sixteen more votes were gained for
Taft today by the settlement of con-
tests. Two of these came from Flor
ida, six from Georgia ana eight from
Kentucky. These were all the con-
tests heard by the committee. The
settlement of the Kentucky cases en-
gendered more ill feeling than was
manifested since the committee began
work.
Senator Bradley of Kentucky ap-
delegation The First district was
personal knowledge of the conditions
involved. other than the views pre-
sented by the brief in the case. The
Taft delegates were seated. The
Fifth district was then taken up.
This is the Louisville district, the
home of Mr.. Bradley. He spoke at
length, the time of each side having
been extended to twenty-five minutes.
During the speech he made the sug-
gestion that if Taft We're nominated
it would be doubtful whether he
would carry the state of Kentucky.
whereupon Clayton Blakey, attorney
for the Taft delegation, charged that
Bradley had stumped the state for
Fairbanks, making just that sort of
an argument. Bradley denied the
charge and Blakey replied that he
had seen letters written by Bradley
making such claims; that he had
personally received one of such let
tiers. Bradley was defeated in this
case, and declined TO continue with
the two remaining Kentucky con-
tests.
When Bradley came out of the
committee room he accosted Hitch
cock with the following: I'm tired
of this brace game you are run
ming. l won't bolt the ticket myself
but l cannot speak for Kentucky
He expressed himself with great bit
terness.

Southerners who have sojourned in North Michigan n summer and experi- enced the comforts and delights of Pe- toskey, Mackinac, Harbor Springs, Tray erse City and surrounding cool retreats, need no introduction to that attractive re- zion.

R. H. Lacey, is now distributing. It will be found of great value to those in doubt about the selection of a place for vacation outing as well as a pleasing re- hinder to persons who have had the pleasure of visiting North Michigan Fares for the season of 19JS will be lower than in former seasons, and the conven- fence and comfort with which the trip may be made over night from Louisville or Cincinnati are inducements offered by no other resort section.

John D. as a Humorist.

The publishers OF John ID. Rookie
feller's forthcoming story or his Ire
announce that he writes with a touch
OF real humor.
John ID. will take pen In hand
And tell us how he made his pile;
They that the first few sheets have
scanned
Declare he has a pleasing style;
In writing humorously he
Is said 10 show surprising art;
In this connection II must be
Admitted that he looks the part.
He has the calm. sedate address,
The lurking sadness In his eyes
That all true humorists possess;
He never laughs and seldom tries;
Grave soberness is in his speech.
He seems to know but few de-
John ID. should cause mankind to
screech
when he takes up his pen and
writes.
Long. long have we mistrusted him
OF having humor slowed away;
For how could one who, seems 10
grim
Be otherwise than lightly gay?
Ills we'll that he has turned TO books
And ceased 10 bother over pelf;
II Il is fair TO Judge by looks
John ID. at last has found himself.

GETS ITS FIRST REVERSE
IN FORTY YEARS

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, JULY S.-A
mandate from the United States SUI
preme court has been filed in the Ar
kansas supreme court reversing de-
cision of the latter court In the case
of the St. Louis. Iron Mountain ~
Southern Railway Company against
May Taylor. administrative. deceased.
The suit was an action for personal
damage against the railroad company
in which judgment was rendered In
favor of the Taylor estate In the
Crawford county circuit court In 1906,
and the judgment affirmed by the
Arkansas supreme court.
The case was appealed to the Unit
ed States supreme court on ques'
ton involving the interstate com
MERGE act and was reversed.
The peculiar feature OF the case Is
that IL is the first appeal from the
Arkansas supreme court to the United
States supreme court during the past
forty years that has been reversed.
