WILL TAFT HOLD ouTg

The question who would become president March :. 1909. in the event of the disability at that time or the, demise before that date of the pres ident-elect is still unsettled Discus sion and speculation continue There is nothing in the law of the land which provides for such a contin- gency, and there has been no action further than the 'utroduction of a bill for corrective legislation. Of course, this same subject has been talked over at each recurring presidential cleo tion before the rresident-elect has been inducted into cfice l. will be so. no doubt. four years hence.
 NIT. Taft appears to be such q par ticulariy healthly man in mind and body that were it not for the kindly attacks which are being made on his digestive apparatus, there would be little occasion to think of any one else going to the capitol on March f next. But may no. his stomach yet resent the various aDd sundry forms of hospitality which he has to under go? He has done twice the work of the mightiest champion at pie-esting of which there is any record, and tho ablest sword swallower could not even bite some of the choice bits offered MT. Taft for sustcnance. Strange, weird, heavy. indeed, have been the banquets, feasts and barbecues to this great man. If there be any succnlent or unwholesOme experiment which has not been on the menus already presented. we should soon hear of them, for the days are fitting and the danger will soon be over.
 The latest delicacy with which MT Taft is to be confronted is an ali gator steak at New Orleans. This sounds ominous, Lut as it is to be served upon his return from Panama i 1t will probably be relief after the tarantula pudding of the isthmus. Tn, final test may come at the banquet O: great feed in the metropolis. wheI who knows but the piece de resist ance will be some e these stale. grew some. undigested and indigestible SC curities from the Wall street refrig orators?
 Can Mir. Taft hold out? We mop. for the best and believe he will do so but he can't escape heartburn

NOTICE.
CONDUCTING STATEHOOD INTO READY DUNGEON.

h the Las Vegas Optic VIC find the following which was sent special to that paper from Washington the early part of this week:
 Tho house committee cn terri tories ~dli, it-is expected. report 2 bill giving statehood .1 New Mexico and Arizona The house will pass 1t. ac- eording to present plans, and then the bill will enter Senator Beverilges committee on territories. whence it is understood it won't emerge during the present session Of congress. Not withstanding contrary reports that have been telegraphed out of Washing ton. these territories have DO immedi- ate prospect of statehood. Such leg islation is not on the senate calendar of things to be done.
 On the calendar are only the indis- pensable things. and statehood, in the estimation of the republican leaders. Is not an indispensable thing. Indeed they regard it as exceedingly and pc culiarly dispensable With the young Turks, as the non-cor formist repubh- cans from the west have come to be known, demanding more recognition and threatening to rebel against the oligarchy which orders all things in the senate. such men as Aldrich and Hale perceive nothing prudent in put ting four more westerners into the body just at this time Indeed, it is a thing which they can defer with g conplacency that would be admirable in better cause.
 In consenting 10 let the bill pass the house. Speaker Cannon under stands that the bill is being personal Iy conducted into 2 ready dungeon, ac- cording to current rumor The only purpose to be subserved is the politi- cal welfare of Delegate W. II. An. drews Of New Mexico. The story here Is that MT Andrews is under suspic- ion at home of not being as enthu- siastic and active iE behalf of state hood as is desirable. The passage oI this bill through the house will per haps discredit this 1aalign suspicion.
 That printing "graft" that the re. publican organs sLouted sa Justify about. has dwindled down to a wall of regret.

Jimmy Riggs, the citizen member of the territorial board of control. doth protest much about his democracy. Jimmy is too good a democrat to De mixed up with a republican board &i control. The plan Is to put all the re- sponsibility for that board of control on the republican administration.

The unfeo,ing democratic legisla- ture Is seemingly intent upon putting a crinp in court cierks political and financial hilarity. by reducing their salaried income nearly to that of rail road presidents.

The republican organs of the terri tory are much worried for fear thaL the Arizona legislature will enact laws that will injure the democratic party. Such fraternal solieitude at this cru cial time is exceedingly commendabie.

Enough money Ni'l be saved to the various counties of the territory by placing the district clerks on a salary to build a home for the old pioneers of the territory the first year. And this is what the republican press of the territory calls revenge.

It will require heap of republican yelling to offset the $10O.0o0 saved by the enaetments of the present demo cratic legislature. Republican bun comb is cheap and remarkably pien- tifui. but it takes money to pay taxes.

 The figures for horses are especsal ly interesting because, while they show substantial increase in nnm bers, they also show the highest aye- age price per head ever reported in this country. The price figures ai s9102 per head. which breaks all re ords for this class of stock. "For years there have been gloomy predic tions that the horseIess age was al hand and that this class of preperfy would become less and less valuable. said Mir.

Burned by Hot Crease

L. S. Gober happened to a hid
accident last Friday morning
which came near being very ser
ious so far as his eyesight was
concerned. Mr.. Gober was stand
ing near a cooking stove at his
residence when some grease in
a frying pan popped out covering
almost his entire face, burning
the skin very badly-in fact al
most all the skin came off from
his face. Some of the hot grease
got into the corner of his eye and
on the eyelid causing very in
tense pain. Proper applications
were made to the face at once so
that no serious results are now
expected.

Box Supper at Umbarger.

Out at I'm barger last Satur-
day night the people congregat-
ed for one of those old fashioned
box SupperS, an entertainment
which is always filled with fun
as well as being somewhat mySti-
flying for the reason that a per-
son knows not with whom he
shall eat and what he is to eat
until after he has invested his
good coin in an attractive box
filled with things to eat. There
was a large crowd present and
plenty of boxes to go around and
for a time the bidding was said
to have been fast and furious. A
nice sum of money was realized
for the organ and school library
fund. An interesting program
was also rendered during the
evening, theprogram being shown
in the items from our Umbarger
correspondence.

INSTALLING TOWN CLOCK.
Mechanic Arrives and Begins Work in Placing
Timepiece in Tower Of Court House.

Last Wednesday Mr.. Withers,
representative of the Howard
Clock works, arrived here to in
stall the new clock in the court
house tower. He at once began
operations and thinks that he
will be able to complete the work
before the end of this week.
The clock is of very fine make
and is such that it will strike the
hours and half hours and will
keep the accurate time after adj
justment. 1t has a large dial
and bell so that it can be seen
and heard for a long dis lance.
The dials are on each of the four
sides of the tower and are black
with gilt figures, that being the
most distinguishable combina-
ton.

CANYON BOY WINS.
Scholarship in Baylor University is Awarded to
W. c. johnson Of This City.

In the contest for the scholar
ship in Baylor university at
Waco recently. the prize was
awarded to young man from
our city, W. c. Johnson, the son
of Mr.. and Mrs. b. 7. Johnson.
The award was made upon the
oratorical contest, the points be-
ing upon the true value of the
Grafton and upon the manner of
delivery. There were a large
number of contestants and the
fact that a Canyon City boy was
the successful one comes as a
satisfaction to his many friends
here.
Speaking of the matter the
Lariat, the official paper of the
school, has the following to say:
lie SUdlludlu VI Illc ucllNtlS
of the contestants was detracted
from bya lack of familiarity on the
part of some with their speeches.
The contest, however, as a whole
was good, and it was evident that
some of those speaking will be
heard again by Baylor audiences.
The thirdand winning speech
was that of w. G.. Johnson on
The Development of the Peace
Idea" He delivered the grafton
in a natural and forcible manner
which, though lacking some of
his usual vigor, won him first
place. Johnson is a man of splen-
did stage appearance and ability
and bids fair to make his name
known to Baylor oratory.
