STUDY IS CRAFTY
Awaits Opportunity to Make
Effective Entrance in
Senatorial Race.
BOOM Is LYING DORMANT

What has become of the senatorial
boom of Thomas ]. Study: is asked
frequently. The only answer that can
be offered is to say it is lying dormant
at present. Mr. Study has made no
active effort to influence any of the
state democratic leaders in his behalf.
Neither has he undertaken to secure
the support of the members of the leg
islature upon whom it will devolve
to name the successor to Senator Hem
enway.
-, But Study is not asleep at the
switch. He is attending to his law
practice and the result of the last case
he appeared in might indicate very
satisfactorily. The city attorney.
who says he would like to be a real-for-
sure United States senator, is not ly-
ing awake at nights and wasting
sleep in worry about his prospects. But
he is not closing his eyes and ears,
when chance comes to advance his in
terests in any way.
Study has it figured out that there
will be a conflict in the ranks when
it comes to select senator. He sees
reasons why there will be objections to
almost every man. whose name has
been suggested. There is no doubt of
the shrewdness of T. j.. and it is like
ly he may have card up his sleeve
that will not be slipped until the pot
is the largest and the interest in the
game the highest.

because they are not strong enough ito
break down the barriers of Senate
caste. But can any one imagine the
Senate gray wolves" disciplining or
humiliating Elihu Root because he re-
fuses to hunt with the pack?
1t may seem far-fetched to picture
Mr.. Root accepting seat in the SEN
ate with view to capturing the pres
idency eight years from now, for it is
to be assumed that he would not OPP
pose the denomination of Mr. Taft
but eight years is not a long span in a
mans life, and many men have sought
the presidency much longer time. If
Mr.. Root is ever to attain the presi-
dency he cannot wait longer than 1916.
He Is 63 years old now and in eight
years will be II. Though remarka-
bly, well preserved man he could not
hope for the presidency after 1916.
Useful in Senate.
There is no reason to doubt that Mr..
Taft knows of Mr. Roots ambition or
that he sympathizes with it. He has
the very highest regard for the char
acter and ability of the Secretary of
State, and while he would like
to continue him in that position
he must know that Root in the
Senate could be much more useful to
him. President Roosevelt has seen
the defeat of not few of his policies
because there was in the senate no
man he could depend on who was
strong enough to overcome the pow
erful coterie of senators who opposed
as far as they dared everything which
Roosevelt favored
Mr.. Root would seem to have before
him. therefore, an opportunity such
as is presented to few Americans.
There never was a time when the,
people were so alive to their own in
terests in the matter of legislation,
and in the battle between predatory
wealth and the common people no
man of Roots surprising ability has
aligned himself with the people. I'm
der such circumstances. there ought
to be no limit to the popularity possi-
BILE for him to achieve.

The eng. neers had seen the danger plainly, but by the time the hand brakes wer' brought into play it was too late. The young man allowed these facts to sink Into his mind.

 If the engineers had been able tU control their trains from the cabs. the wreck could have been prevented. ,ouldn't itT

 "Yes. They had lots of time"

It vii! not be brought into reQuisition for ac- tual warming purposes again. It's too good" Then he added contemplahve 0: My daughter thought 1t would re- new the ancient flavor of things to put that warming pan to use. So on one q{ the coldest nights of the winter she filled the pan end with live coals, shut the lid and put the pan into one of the beds. In little while the house was filled with smoke, which, on being traced to It's origin, was found to come from the bed, which was aflre. With few olden time wood embers these warming pans were all right, but with live anthracite they simply overdo the job. We put out the fire, but, as I say, from tnls time on the warming pan hangs on the wall empty"
