THE GOULD SOD" STOLEN.
Pres. Taft Had No Chance to Stand
On 1t at Chicago.

Chicago, March 1.-THE true in
Wardness of why President Taft did
not stand on piece of the "Ould sod
az the St. Patrick's banquet tonight, is
something of a mystery In any event
the sod has for the most part disap-
peared, being carried away during last
night it is alleged, by souvenir hunt
ers. The sod was imported so that the
President might address Irish Ameri-
cans from the soil of the Emerald Isle
Upon its arrival in Chicago it was
stored in q room at the Lasalle hotel
where the banquet was held tonight
Ever since it's arrival crowds of Irisl
men and women have visited the hote
and cried at the sight of this tangible
hit nf their fatherland. Some of these
peop1e undoubtedly carried away small
pieces of the sod, but the heaviest In
road is said to have been made last
night and just how it was made is not
clearly explained by the souvenir by
rothcsiS
In some quarters it is limited that the
disa ppearance was not accidental but
was deliberate, to carry out the rule
that President of the United States
office on foreign soil. If the sod was
regarded as an actual part of Ireland
q stray fragment, many argued that
the President could not in propriety
stanu upon it.
When the view was presented thdi
the sod had no political significance
but was a mere importation of mnera
and vegetable matter the sentimental
lists took great umbrage.
While the souvenir explanation may
be the correct one, the police are MAX
ing no move to discover the culpritS
peace reignS among the erStwhile dis
putants and the President had to be
content with carrying small chunk OF
the could sod back to Washington.
Soon after President Taft had left
the train this morning the procession
was halted for about five minutes ow-
ing 20 repeated attempts of a woman
who gave her name as Jennie Mud, tt
get into the automobile containing the
President and his party. She strug-
gled violently with the Secret Service
men and the incident occasoned con-
siderable excitement among the throns
on both sides of the street. The woman
was finally subdued and placed under
arrest. No weapon of any kind wa:
found on her person. The woman sale
she merely wanted to shake hand:

leader was presented to the guest of
honor.
At the conclusion of this luncheon,
although it was time for him to start
for the mass meeting at the Auditor
iurn, the President sought his room for
q half hour of quiet and rest Crowds
made the hotel corridors noisy, but
policemen warned all who passed the
Presidents rooms to cease talking.
When the President re-appeared ne
seemed much refreshed and there was
nothing of WEAKNESS apparent in his
manner when he began his address TO
the thousands of persons who had
gathered at the auditorium.
At the stage door of the theatre
man attempted to follow the President
into the building; but he was seized
by two secret service officers. He de-
clared he was a newspaper man, put

There are people in Congress, con-
scientious, hard working prominent
statesmen, who look at the question
of conservation as it might have been
looked at 20 or 80 years ago. They are
still in favor of letting out the land
and getting the settlers on it. not in
favor of a careful method of conserva-

we don't breathe the atmosphere OF

SHALL CORPORATE POWER BE
RETURNED?

In the present primary campaign
for the republican gubernatorial nOmi
nation, the men who believe i'm the
movement which LaFollettel has made
of national Importance have selected
Francis E. McGOvern to carry ON
the work which lis so ecessary for
the advancement of representative
government.
The fight this year shows that the
lines are closely drawn between men
who would have the corporate inter
ests get control and men like Nc
Govern who believe in representative
government. The former means that
the corporations will get special pr1-
veIeges, escape just taxatioR whereyeE
possible, and affairs generally will
be run i'm such a manner that the pee
pie will not get the squaredeal to
which they are justly entitled.
The only way to avoid such a con-
ditionl is for all progressives to- stand
shoulder to shoulder and fight the
common enemy Division I'M the rank
brought about by some other issue
which can be settled at another time,
spell disaster.
DON'T be led astray by glitterimg
generalities Offered by mem whose
motives will NOT ring true.

Gently enjoyed" a dinner which con-
sisted of an ostrich egg. omelet,
python stew, roast African gazelle and
crow pie. Guests say, according to re-
ports in the London papers. that the
ostrich eggs tasted like any other eggs.
The serpent stew proved to contain
large bones. with small pieces Of gelat-
nous and entirely tasteless meat at
tached. Roast gazeile was as good as
roast lamb. The crow pie was black,
bitter and nauseatfng. and only a few
brave men swallowed their portion.
The menu also contained, written
within parentheses on the card and
eaten alphabetically. roast beef and
new potatoes. At dessert pieces of
the serpent's skin were distributed as
charms among the women.

Vienna Schoolboy Suicides.

The great number of suicides among
schOolboys in Vienna on the day of the
distribution of the half yearly certifi-
Gates in the Austrian secondary schools
has seriously alarmed the minister of
education. The day is an anxious one
for both parents and children, who
await the decisions Of the examiners
with bated breath. A boys failure to
pass his examination always suggests
failure in the final matriculation, which
means that the boy is forced to per-
form the full term of three years mil
itary service. Rather than face their
parents after failure many boys shoot
themselves. An inquiry opened by the
minister has resulted in orders being
issued for the relaxing of the strain in
the schools. Two half holidays are to
be granted each week to be devoted to
games, rowing and shooting being spe-
cially recommended.

CLEANLINESS NEXT
TO GOODNESS

The above quotation is often used,
and justly so. Cleanliness is impor-
tant and ought to be desired by
everyone. Especially is TINS true of
our city The ladies of the FEEDER
ated Clubs, mayor and some of the
city Officials are constantly doing
everything possible to keep our city
streets clean and inviting. In this,
every business man and citizen
should give their "a eution and help
these forces towards this end. 1t is
often thoughtles that causes us
to forget and neglect these matters.
Strangers who visit our city are i'm
pressed favOrably or unfavorably ac-
cordingly as they find our city. It
costs but little to keep things up
when once done. 1t should be a
pleasure for everyone of us to do
this of our own violation, instead of
waiting to De asked or ordered. What
we do willingly is a pleasure. Our
main and other streets need atten-
ton. City officers and workmen, be
vigilant and talk cleanliness to your
neighbOrs ana friends. Have an
eye single to your city's beauty

First English Book on Sport.

The first book on sport ever printed
In the English language was a rhymed
treatise called the -'Boke Of st. Al
bands" its author being a woman.
Dame Juliana Berners. Its second
edition was printed by Wynkyn de

family, Lord Berners, was tie trans

Is true that old manuscripts existed,
such as the ''Venerie de Twecy" of the
time Of Edward H., but it was Dame
Juliana who was the real ancestress
Of sporting literature in England, for
she also composed an essay on hawk
