 Washington Special to Philadelphia
 The wisest political sharps in Wash, ington have been so puzzled by rival bulletins issued by the Taft and anti Taft political bureaus today that they are beginning to see double. It iookt as if somebody in the business were seeing double, too, from the way that their fgures are Juggled ana nul- tiplied by rules unknown to arlthme- tic.
 Tt is now certain that the opposi, ton to Taft will control the national convention by a majority 9f more than 100 Votes,' says the bulletin ts- sued from the bureau maintained by the anti-Taft candidates:
 The work of the week has convtnc- ed press and public generally that the nomination is a foregone conclusion" That is the way the Taft bureau puts it in It's bulletins, and the ,polttica! sharps are invited to take their choice between these statements.
 The Taft people claim that 54S del- egates are already instructed for Taft, bringing. him within IQ7 of a ma ma

 Washington Dispatch to New horA
 Irnless there is a change in his pres enf intentions, President Roosevelt VIII leave the United states soon after the ina,,ruration of his successor on Msrch 4 next, and will not return for two years. There have been several reports in the last few months re- rardtnr the plans of Mir. Roosevelt for sn.. disposition of his time after his time after his retirement from the prasidency, None of them has been atthoritative. It is possible now, how ever. to make a positive statement So far as the present plans of the Presi- dent are concerned.
 A considerable part of the two years which he purposes . to spend gp"nsavs,, aproaa ,a the hunting of big game. He Is like ly to go first to-~Africa. Recently ne had a long conversation with man who has spent much time in hunting in Africa, and the President was in- tensely interested in the hrst-hand account of the sport which he re- ceived. He feels. that he has earned the right to put in portion or ms time in the sport which most appeals to him. Where he will go besides Africa has not yet been considered. years away from the United States for two reasons. Rest and the recrea. tion of hunting is only the minor Of them He intends to put himself be- yond the reach of those persons who would inevitably seek, if he were within reach, to use his influence with the new administration.

AT MORNING VIEW"

Written after an entertainment giv- m to The Flower Growers at the lome of Mir. Houghton, May 2, 1908. Just between the citys din
 And the long lake shining blue, In the clustered, quiet trees,
 Is the home of Morning View And the pheasants live out there,
 And we hear the ring -dove's coo. Oh. the breeze is fresh and sweet. And the grass Is smooth and low, And the little ducks are seen
 Winding like a brooklet's flow, And the peacock spreads his tail
 That. his beauty all may know. There the almond trees are seen, And the red raspberry, too. And the rippling, rippling, grain
 Where the birds feed-not a few; Everything is happy happy.
 Out at lovely Morning View" And I was happy. happy,
 Till I heard the martins sing, Til the. swallow floating. over
 Spoke to me in words of spring Of a home that now IS vanished
 And that only memories bring. Out at Morning View" the roses
 Speak in perfume to the air.
 Tells of Browning's poem there Of a lovely, angel woman,
 With a blossom in her hair. More there is for higher vision,
 More at Morning View" to hear; All is sweetly intermingled Like blessing with tear. Like a smile of Heaven weary And that makes the earth so dear:

AN INDIAN RUSSELL SAGE.

Tn the little town of Burney, Okla homa, there is a full-blood Creek Indian. named March Thompson, who, fn the language of The Indian Jour nal lis the Russell Sage of the Creeks, having amassed a considerable fortune consisting of bank stock. farms, live stock and mercantile investments in the course of long business career. eident, but to thrift. economy and good business judgment. In this respect he resembles the late Russell Sage. He has made his money in competition with white business talent of the high est order. March carries ten thous- and dollars life insurance and instead of wanting to sell his land, like most fullbloods. he is continually buying more. The holdings of himself and family in land run into the thousands of acres, and most of this land is in cultivation. He Is a successful cattle man, good farmer. knows something
 
 of banking and he is no spendthrift He is man of temperate habits. In the days of tribal rule he stood high in the counsels of his people, holding the offices of district judge. prose- cutting attorney and council member Under the new order of things he is a progressive citizen and very influ- ential in his neighborhood in all mat ters of public interest.
 This may be a somewhat exceptional case, but it shows how an Indian can take advantage of his opportunities and compete with the best of his white fellow-citizens in the business affairs of life. Under the new order of things a great many of the Indians in the new State are keeping pretty well to the front, Intellectually and in every other way, with the whites. 10, the poor Indian" lacks much of fitting the Oklahoma tribes.

in DemOpOIis.
 Demopolis, May 4.-(SpeciaL)-Th e new Presbyterian Church of Demopo- lis was dedicated yesterday with ap- propriate exercises,
 Long before the hour of service the beautiful church was filled. The church was beautifully decorated for the occasion. and the interior of the church presented a lovely picture.
 The service began with an overture by a quartette.
 Rev. pr. A. A. Little was intro duced to the large congregation and he took his subject from 12Oth Psalms, and first verse, Let us go up to the house of the Lord" pr. Little drew a picture at the beginning of his serrp on which made his discourse more inter- esting.
 The evening service at o'clock was listened to by large congregation and the beautiful edf1ce was filled to the doors. The other churches with their congregation attended and as- sisted in the services.
 Dr. Little selected for his text The Living Church of God" and preach ed a powerful sermon.
 At the conclusion of the services Rev J. R. G. White on behalf of the Bap- lists made a few remarks of congrat- ulation. Rev l.. H. S. Chappelle. or behalf of the Methodists also made some remarks of congratulations upor the success of the Presbyterians in ac- complaining the work they had under taken.
 The singing of Mrs. Frank Warner and Miss Garner of Selma was very fine. MT. flames of Anniston and Mrs J. B. Taylor of this city also sang.
 Judge John c. Anderson of Montgom cry was among the visitors.

 Bryan Democrats in the East are asking what Joseph Pulitzer. Of The New York World. has against the Nes braskan.

The statement that an English den- tIst received $500 for fixing a wo- mans mouth" Is entirely too lacking in details to be satisfactory. We are not told what ailed her mouth or how the dentist fixed" it. One disrespectful contemporary suggests that perhaps he plugged the mouth up completely and the husband gave him the big fee as a reward, but that is an ungallant sug- 9estion. Possibly her mouth was bad ly shaped, and by making it pretty the dentist earned the liberal fee. We ought to have all the particulars be- fore judging finally.

Genius and Obesity.

From The Strand Magazine.
 .s The annals of genius are fiheo 10 .nverhowinE with the names of men who toiled and achieved fame under full habit. Nothing can be more un- iust than the gibe about fiat and fol- iyI and fatness and indolence. Mar tin Luther was as fat as Calvin was was thin; Ernest Renan's obesity did not ohsecure his insight and brilliancy.
 Many writers and speakers have too long spoken inVidiously of fatness, but the best retort we have been apie to Rlean in our researches into this weiEhty subject Is that c. H Spur, geoiI, the famous preacher. People, said Spurgeon, say am fat, l sm limbs, thank God, are amply clothed. and I am in my right mind"

and many wriggles Congress swallows the dose. Sometimes. 1t is true. they show symptoms of rebellious impa- tience. but it's no use. AS the mother holds the nose of the objecting boy while she administers the castor oil. so the President comes down on the Solons and forces a message on them. They may kick and squirm as much as they like, and even say things. but all does no good, except to perhaps make the dose more disagreeable.
 What rifles the statesmen most in connection with the message busitess is their stlye. Other Presidents have made recommendations to Congress from time to time. as the Constitution provides. but not in the same style. for Roosevelt virtually hands them his or orders and tells them to obey. To quote Tennyson again:
 Theirs not to make reply
 Theirs not to reason why Theirs but to do or die,
 for they are supposed to be there only 
 to carry out orders of the boss. and his propensity increases as time passes The more signs of impatience they show the thicker and more domineer- ing are the messages. and one almost shudders to think of what might be the result If he should have a Con- gress composed of men who would as- sert themselves as lawmakers should do and give him to understand that their branch of the government was not to be dominated by any executive. If men of nerve and backbone and in- dependence constituted majority of both houses. and if they would say to him, You can make recommendations as the Constitution provides but we will take no orders from you" he would probably explode and wreck the White House. Oh, he's the Great Message Is Roosevelt.

THE GREAT MEssAGER.

Among the many claims to greatness which have been made for Roosevelt no one has yet claimed for him the credit of being a great discoverOr. Not that he has invented or discovered things like Edison. Burbank and others have done. but he has achieved prominence in another and different direction. He discovered that mighty engine, the Presidential Message.
 Now let no one emit a contemptuous snicker and tell us that all the Presi- dents have dealt in messages, for we are aware of that, but Roosevelt dis covered how to fire them in volleys. As the modern soldier relies on rapid fire guns of all sizes, so does this Pres ident of ours keep pace with modern methods in other fieldo and fire his mes sages at Congress in quick and worri- some succession, never giving the members time or opportunity to fully recover from the effects of one before another explodes in their midst. Like the immortal Six Hundred at Balaklava the Senators and Representative can say
 Cannon to right of them.
 Cannon to the left of them
 Cannon in front of them
 Volleyed and tfundered
 The unfortunates in the House also have always Cannon in front of them, but that is mercy incidental They may sometimes find a way to circum- vent or dodge him. but not so with the President and his deiverances. for he virtually tells them: Take another message or skidoo." and with wry face
