The Republican national coonven-
ton like the Republican party is
under the effective influence OF the
big stick. The contests before the
convention are practically all being
decided in favor OF the corpulent
Taft. In spite of the fact that thu
taft managers claim absolute hon
esty in their methods, II is evident
that they aim to carry the day for
their lord and chief by any means,
fair or foul. However, the ELECTION
comes after the convention, and the
big stick will lose very much OF its
persuasive qualities between now and
election time.

due to the innate perverseness OF the
nearly 500 boys snd young men who,
as rule, come from the best homes
of Texas, or is IL duo to some failure
or defect upon the part OF the pres

structor. He teaches nothing. He
is the executive head, and his chief
duty Is to command the love, con-
fidence and respect OF the student
body, for without this all else must
fail. He has utterly failed to do
this, and as result an institution,

Texas, is about to 60 70 pieces.

Thomas A. Edison tells Of an ex-

says, they worked on the four-hour
sleep schedule. and at did not seem
TO hurt them. The only variation
IN their habits was the eating Of four
instead OF three meals a day, an ex-
ira supper being served at midnight.
For the first week or so the men
showed up very tired and limp, but
after that they gained in mental
alertness and bodily agility. Edison
calls attention to the fact that on
this plan the men slept perfectly
when they we're in bed, whereas, In
the ordinary plan OF eight or ten
hours In bed, he believes that most
people are not sound asleep and

age larger Kansas, which last year
raised 64,00O,OOO bushels, reports
