enthusiasm presented him two years
ago at Chicago as the choice for the
second highest office in the gift of the
people?
A precedent for the designation of
the vice president as temporary chair
man of the convention by the state
committee at it's meeting last night,
Mr.. Woodruff added, was wisely es-
tablished two years ago, when Senator
Root, then premier of the national ad-
ministration was selected at the meet
ing of the state committee held a
month before the convention"
LAS chairman of the Republican
state committee Mr.. Woodruff s
statement continues, mo one had sug-
gested to me, or, as far as know, to
any other member of the committee,
the name of any other person than
the vice president as temporary chair
man until Mr.. Griscom sitting in the
committee as proxy, moved to sub
stitute another name for that of Vice
President Sherman after the latter s
name had been properly presented
What was the object of this action?
The correspondence between Col
Roosevelt and myself just after the
meeting of the state committee shows
more clearly than can otherwise be
presented that his opposition to the
selection of Vice President Sherman
was not based on any personal
grounds. but because he desired an op-
portunity to present his views as to
the policies which should hereafter
guide the destinies of the Republican
partr.

New York, August 10, 1910.
" My Dear Mr.. Woodruff:
You seem to me to be under a mis-
apprehension in the matter. 1 was noL
notifying anybody about the matter,
and neither Griscom nor l had any idea
that the question was to come at this
time. Some of the gentlemen with
whom you were acting on Monday
evening announced that it was going to
come up and made the announcement
on the specific ground that it was 70
head off the movement for me because
they did not believe in the principles
for which I stand. l have never want
ed the position. but merely said that l
would accept it if it were desired that
l should do so. If the vice president IS
correctly reported as to his position.
and if you agree with that position.
you are only right in having him and
not me make the speech.
" Faithfully yours,

BORROWING TO auY AUTOS.

office TO more than 1000 banks in the
west and southwest. The letters. of

writes Lincoln (Neb.) banker
A Van Buren, (Ark.) banker writes:
The purchase of automobiles in this
section has been mainly by persons
able to pay part, If not all, cash. We
believe the tieing up of large sums of
money in uDproductive property con
tributes largely to stringency in mon
ey matters. 1t is all right TO put
money into something that will pro-
duce more money, but when it Is in
vested in unproductiye property we
fail to see the benefit"
Paris (Tex) banker traces the
increased demand for money to the
following expenditures. Improve
ments In south and west Texas and
Mexico lands, 100000; in automo
biles. $4,000; in local short line
railroad, 100000; in city improve

$3.50. 600.
Forty per cent of the letters de
clare the greater portion Of the ma
chimes are bought on time. Sixty pei
cent assert the greater portion of the
machines are bought for cash.
A majority of the bankers state
that the demand for money Is greater

It is given ont from Des Moines that
the state executive council will not

NEGRO PROGRESS.

1t is estimated by writer in the
Banker and Investor Magazine that
the negroes of the United States have
not less than s30,Ooo,0o0 on deposit
In the banks of the United States.
In one bank in Washington. D. c..
alone. they have more than 100000.
The Des Moires Register and Leader
says in commenting on this exhibit:
Thirty millions is not an extraordi
nary sum in itself, but it is taken
with the fact that it was less thar
fifty years ago when the negroes Of
the United States did not own ever
their bodies, and in most sections o
the country they dared not even cal

THE EMPTY LIVES.

So many die that have not lived at all;
1t is as though they journed through
the years
Upon path hedged by a gloomy wall
OF other peoples little frets and
fears.
Beyond the wall the joyous fields
stretch out
And there are little paths to lure
the feet,
But duty framed by others of their
doubt
Has made them feel the bypaths are
not meet.
To spend their days with friends they
did not choose,
They toll at tasks untitled for their
hands:
They join the chorus of them that
abuse
The one who lives-because he un-
derstands,
They sing the songs the others bid
them sing,
While in their souls are stifed mar
NclOuS
They build and they destroy, they
fetch and bring,
They fume of petty losses and OF
gains.
They count as truth the rote thai
they are told,
They Epurn as lies whatever the,
are bid;
They ban as hereto the OVERLOAD,
The one who would uncover what Il
hid,
And they succeed-they say they hat
success
And call another careless, blind an
weak,
Who finds the JOY they may not eve
VINO reaches goals they may no
even seek,
That If some dazzling outburst of tn
light
Should show them how supremei
far they miss
The core of life, the lasting truth, an
right?
But Fate is kind and does not des
them this.
1t is as though they plodded throug
dead years
Upon a path hedged by barre
wall
OF other peoples little frets an
fears
So many die, and have not lived I
all.

Kipling with Mark Twain. 1t was at
time in Kipling's history when that
mans name was nothing more to the
world than mere words printed on a
bit of paste board Kipling had come
to America, and was writing letters
to his home paper. He had a great de-
sire to meet Mark Twain. He went to
Elmira,l ~ Y, then Twain's home,
and unfortunately, missed him. The
members of the family inquired if it
was important that he see Mr.. Glenn
ems. Kipling replied that he had trav-
eled all the way from India for that
purpose. A telephone message brought
Mr.. Clemens back from the city, and
for several hours he and the man
whose future popularity was soon af-
ter to become lasting fame sat on the
porch and talked. After Kipling had
gone someone asked Mr.. Clemens
concerning the stranger In whom he
was SO interested. THAT is a fine
young man. replied Mr.. Clemens.
"He has in him the making of a great
parsonage. lie kUOWS nearly every
thing in the world. What he does not
know | do. Together we know it all
Il look upon Mark Twain as one
of the worlds greatest characters. He
is colossus. 1t seems to me-" con.
tinued Mr.. Payne, that he was a
man over-developed in our times; a
man ahead of his race. 1t is as
though he might have come to us
from another world where there is q
higher state of development The
world will still have TO learn the
greatness of what he has accom-
pllshed in literature. Some of the
things he has done will die, of course
But many of them will live, and a:
d they live they will grow. He knew
i the springs Of human emotion, ant
could play them with deft and al
most godlike skin. His greatness la.
In that mysterious gift Of the human
touch. And that is why Mark Twail
will be one of the most wonderful
men In history"
