PRAY FOR HUSBANDS"
Urges Bishop of Buffalo to In
married nomenclature
On Marriage.

Buffalo, n. Y, March 12.-As a
solution to the problem of the great
unwed the Rt. Rev. Charles Henry
Cotton, bishop of Buffalo, has recon-
mended that all the unmarried women
under his spiritual guidance pray for
husbands.
The recommendation is contained in
a circular letter addressed to the rec
tors of parishes in the diocese, and
was read in all the Roman Catholic
churches at service yesterday.
1t is once of the results of the new
marriage laws of the church as re-
Gently prescribed by Pope Plus, and
has created a profound sensation.
The bishop impressed ON all the
unwed of manageable age that it
was the sacred duty Of the greater
part of the human race to marry and
he asked that they conscientiously
consider the matter.
The only exceptions made by the
bishop in mis- letter were those who
contemplate entering holy orders.
The letter, IN part, is:
1T is timely to remark that per-
sons of marriageable age, and who
feel no vocation to the religious life,
should conscientiously consider the
ACCESSIBILITY and the duty of entering
the married state-for duty 1t surely
is for the larger part of the human
family-and for this reason they should
pray God to send them suitable part
ners and direct them in their choice,
for matrimony is a sacrament and
brings the blessings of God on those
receiving it in the state of grace and
who live in it in a Christian man

SPANISH SWINDLERS At WORK
Trying to Convince People
They Are Heirs to Fab
ulOuS Fortunes.

Leitchfield, KY, March 12.-Numer-
Gus citizens of Grayson county have
been the subjects of one of the most
unique swindles ever perpetrated in
this section of Kentucky. The skin
game is being worked by sharpers in
Spain and the scheme is to work on
the avarice and greed of the victim
through a series of letters revealing
the whereabouts of a relative of the
victim, who will inherit an immense
fortune and whom 1t is desired the
intended victim shall adopt, after
sending advance money for various in
cidentals outlined by the Spaniards:
The first letter of this kind to come
to light here was addressed to Mr..
H. H. Roberts, ex-Jailer of Grayson
county. The letter came from Castle
Port of Villafrance del Panadeo, Spain,
and was signed by one Luis Terra.
Terra told how his deceased wife,
Mary Roberts, had spoken to him of
the good qualities of her relative,
the II. II. Roberts addressed, and
from that proceeded to a pathetic
description of Lerra's beautiful daugh-
ter, fifteen years of age, who would be
left unprotected after his death. Ler-
ra, himself, so the letter ran, was con-
fined in q Spanish prison because OF
completely in Carlist riots and the as
sassination Of the King Of Portugal.
His funds, amounting to $4,000,
were deposited in the Bank of Eng
land, but the papers necessary to Sc
cure the funds were in the hands Of
the customs authorities, being secret
ed in a hidden recess in a portman-
teau. In case Mr.. Roberts was will
ing to adopt the young girl, Terra
would send over his will at once,
making over all his property to the
girl, with a generous bequest to Mr..
Roberts for her upbringing, etc, etc.
Then came the appeal for funds. The
papers could be secured from the GUS
toms authorities for a certain sum and
other moneys were needed for the as
sistance of a poor chaplain who was
conducting this correspondence for
Terra.
Mrs. William Armes, of Shrewsbury,
received similar letter. In this
communication the writer was in pris-
on because of conspiracy in the Gu
ban revolution, and there were a few
minor differences. AS the details of
the scheme are being unearthed, it is
ascertained that great many people
in this section have been victimized,
and considerable excitement has been
occasioned.

The New York Herald, which is an in
dependent newspaper, thus sizes up
the situation: "No one now fears that
his election would provoke an indus
trial, commercial and financial cata-
clysm. AS matter of fact, his speech
of acceptance has strengthened rather
than shaken public confidence. Mr..
Bryan has evidently mellowed 10 retire
ment. While Mr.. Roosevelt has been
growing steadily more radical in his
attitude toward economic questions,
the Nebraskan has been steadily grow
ing more conservative and prudent.
Moreover he is indisputably the idol of
an imposing section of the American
electorate. Even those democrats who
repudiate emphatically Mr.. Bryan's
most extravagant theories have been
forced to admit that his influence with
the rank and file of the party is I'M
rivalled and undiminished and have
recognized the truth by again enrolling

also in Germany and England?
The democratic platform says yes.
The republican platform silent.
Shall we elect United States senators

troll the nation through the upper house?
The democrat platform says yes.
The republican platform silent.
Shall responsible tax be paid by
banks to create a guarantee and to pro-
tect depositors, thus preventing runs
on banks and money panics and thereby
bringing into circulation boarded
wealth?
The democratic platform says yes.
The republican platform silent.
The scandalous and dangerous cor
ruption of the electorate by the use Of
enormous campaign funds points to the
decay of free government. Shall we
know before election, through publicity,
from whence and from whom came these
contributions?

Shall we have billion dollar sessions

HEpBURN's SUN is SETTING.

Above we give table showing some
congressional district to illustrate the
changes which have taken place in the
period between the election of Roose-
velt and the present time. The repub-
lican high-wat mark of the district
was reached in 1904, when the presi-
dents plurality over Parker was 1887.
In that year also Hepburn performed the
notable feat of carrying every county
in the district, but with all Of the in
fluence of the Roosevelt landslide his
high-water mark was 1905, 1892 less
than the head of the ticket. or slump
in the district Of an average of 255
votes to the county.
At this time there was no factional
quarrel in the republican party and
no particular reason why Hepburn should
not have run even with the ticket,
especially as his opposition was an I'M
known Lucas county man, who made no
campaign whatever, and the democratic
party was utterly demoralized by the
nomination of parker.
Two years later Hepburn succeeded
in carrying the district by plurality
of 3,416 votes, or a loss, without the
assistance of the Roosevelt boom, of
$500. Yet he was not entirely without
the assistance of the president, for it
was during this contest that he sprung
Roosevelt's famous Certificate of char
acter,' which he used during the cam
paign to reassure the people who had
known him and his record for many
years that he was not false to their
| interests. 1t is generally admitted that
but for this character" Hepburn would
have been in danger. He knew of the
danger himself or he would not thus
have humbled himself. That he had to
secure such an endorsement shows a
lamentable lack of faith in his record
and conviction that he was dis
trusted on account of it. His record
since fairly shrieks with evidence that
the character" was secured in bad
faith from the president, but the fact is
not surprising or important. The presi-
dents letter answered for the time
being and won back to him sufficient
number of votes to put him over the
line. Since that time he has not dis
turbed any trusts, or any corporations,
or any transportation companies. No
measures of reform that he could pre-
vent have come from him or his COM
mittee.
However, the table which is given
above is interesting in other ways than
as merely showing Hepburns growing
weakness. During the last campaign the
figures show that while he carried the
district by reason of the timely aid of
the president, the same counties which

has power and pull enough with the
present administration to get away

their rights so long as the republican
party is in power.

gave him a plurality gave a plurality
against Governor Cummins, who was
running on the same ticket with him, of
$500. The factional fight in the repub-
lican party had begun to take root. The
Colonel is of course to be commended
for what he and his friends did for
Porter, who would have been elected if
the other republican candidates for con-
gress throughout the state had con-
tributed as much for his success. They
dared to be less outspoken, however,
and the election of Cummins could not
be prevented, though his majority was
greatly reduced.
In his second campaign with McKin-
ley in 1900, Hepburn fell short of the
presidents plurality about 1000 votes,
and in 1895, in Bryan's first campaign,
he defeated Mr.. Robb by less than 800
plurality, at this time running behind
the head Of his ticket in about the same
amount.
The normal republican majority in
this district is from $500 to 1000 votes.
This year, however, with Taft, the re-
dictionary, against Bryan, who is COM
mitted to the carrying out of the Roose-
welt policies and other reforms, the
! republican vote will no doubt be con-
siderably diminished. Hepburn is at
best 1000 votes weaker than his ticket.
With the friends Of Cummins with good
reason hostile to him, in addition to
this, it is close to demonstration that
Jameson, who is strong candidate
with strong organization behind him,
will retire this tool of the Interests" to
private life, where he belongs.
There have been some regulations
imposed upon the trusts, corporations
and railroads since the election of two
years ago, when the district gave Cum
Minis the severest jolt that he received
in any part of the state, but it is sig
nificant that they have not come from
Hepburn's committee or from congress.
Congress has done absolutely nothing
to carry out the Roosevelt policies.
Every measure of reform which Iowa
has recently received has come from
the state legislature acting upon the
advice and recommendation of the gov
ernor, and Cummins, for what has been
accomplished in these directions cannot
be denied due credit.
1t is not likely that the republicans
who supported Cummins and rejoice in
his election and in the good works
which he has accomplished, will fall
over themselves to support Hepburn
whose every influence was used to as
sassinate him, when they go to the
polls this year. Human nature, even
republican human nature, is very likely
| to travel in the other direction. The
signs indicating this trend of public
opinion cannot be mistaken.-Creston

The banks which are afraid that by
the insurance Of bank deposits their
own popularity might be decreased,
certainly can figure out no better con-
dition brought about by the establish
ment of postal savings banks. These
would also have a tendency to take
deposits away from the established
banks. More than that: Money put in
postal savings banks would all be
carried to the big centers and with
drawn from the communities where it
should remain to foster the Industrial
and agricultural life. The reason re-
publicans prefer postal savings banks
is because the big bankers who control
that party want all the country to be
tributary to Wall street for money.

MR.. TAFT TAKES THE STUMP.

Newspaper dispatches announce that
Mr.. Taft, the republican nominee for
president, has decided after consultation
with his associates to take the stump.
He will make a campaign tour through
various states, including, it is said,
Nebraska. The newspapers of Monday,
September printed from the Associat-
ed Press the following interview with
Mr.. Bryan:
