In Kentucky the Republicans
have nominated Caleb Powers for
Congress in the Eleventh district
where nomination by the Repub-
licans is equivalent to election by
Il big majority. Caleb Powers
was secretary of State under Gov
ernor Taylor, when the latter was
defeated in 1908 by Goebel, a
Democrat, and Powers was the
man who brought the armed
mountaineers to Frankfort to kill
off enough Democrats to give tile
Rebublicans a majority, and in
cidentally to slay Goebel, the Gov.
eraor-elect. They killed Governor
Goebel and Powers was convicted
of murder and sentenced to death ;
he was granted several new trials
which eventuated in Il life i'm.
prisonment sentence, but he Ian
guished in Jail only until a Re.
publican Governor, Wilson, was
elected who stood by his friends
and gave Powers an unconditional
pa-don. Now this apostle of the
true, the good and the beautiful
goes to Congress to uplift and
elevate the morals of that august
body.

vile states that John P Coffin
has been elected State chairman OF

who tarried for season in this

of whose departure followed a half
dozen bank failures, which insti-

looted by Mr. Coffin, who may be
considered the pioneer apostle of

1t is dangerous business for a
newspaper publisher to send pa

than twelve months in arrears.
To be deprived of the second class
mailing privilege, which is the
penalty for noncompliance with the

GILLIAN AFTER MORE BIG 'UNS
Wants Roller to Meet Jess if Latter
Beats Zbyszko.
IF NOT, THEN zYB AND MAHMOUT
westerEaard stiII Anxious to Get the
DOctOr-POIe and Turk Both
Aspire TO wrestIe Col
Onel Gotch,

Manager Gillian Of the Auditorium is con-
templating another big wrestling match
for Omaha after the Zbqszko- Westergaard
tug-of-war Friday night.
II Jess should conquer the giant Pole, Mr..
Gillian will make once more final effort
to induce DIR. Roller to come here and
wrestle westergaard or IL unsuccessful in
this. then he will open negotiations for a
match between zbyszko and Yousiff Nah
mout, the Bulgarian Turk.
westergaard has been anxious for more
than a year to get DR.. Roller on the mat
with him, but the DR. Roller for one rea-
son or another, has failed to make a match
with him. Jess declares he could throw
Roller and that's the popular view among
the fans. The match would be a big one.
AS to Mahmout and Zbyszko meeting
there is some doubt, for both men are
anxious for so with Gotch, each believ-
ing he has some chance of beating the
champion. Because Of this vagrant am
bition neither foreigner wants to get beat
by the other for that would put him out
Of it so far as try with Gotch was con-
cerned. AS a matter Of fact, the men have
met and came off a draw in a handicap,
or rather Mahmout lost, as he failed to
throw zyb. Both men also have met
Gotch. Mahmout lost to the champion
year ago outright, but zbyszko met him in
a handicap, which, Of course, means moth
ing and he wants another chance.
But II Mr.. Gillian could get these two
giants together It would be the greatest
match Omaha has had for long time
Itself, therefore, a great match with such
possible outcomes, the Westergaard-
Zbyszko wrestle ought to draw the biggest
house the Auditorium has had in three
years.
Both men are clean, fair wrestlers, and
there won't be any of the dirty work such
as the big Frenchman put up to mar the
game. Furthermore, the prelimlnaries are

Root Combats
Hughes View
of Income Tax
Letter from the Senator is Read in
Both Houses of the New
York Legislature.

ALBANY, N. Y, March 1.-Senator Elihu
Roots reasons for advocating the proposed
income tax amendment and his views on
the subject as opposed to those OF Gov
ernor Hughes, who has publicly opposed
the amendment were presented to the New
York legislature Monday in the form Of a
letter addressed to state Senator Daven-
port. Senator Davenport presented the
letter to the senate and 1t was also read in
the assembly. The letter in part Is as
follows:
"Since our conversation last month l
have given much consideration to the scope
and effect of the proposed income tax
amendment to the constitution of the
United States.
"The objection made to the amendment
is that this will confer upon the national
government the power to tax incomes de-
rived from bonds Issued by the states or
under the authority of the states and will
place the borrowing capacity Of the state
and its governmental agencies at the mercy
Of the federal taxing power.
II do not find in the amendment any
such meaning or effect ] do not consider
the amendment in any. degree whatever
will enlarge the taxing power OF the ma
tional government or will have any effect
except to relieve the exercise Of the taxing
power from the requirement that the tax
shall be apportioned among the several
states"

OUT.OF.TOWN BOWLERS up
Few Detroit Men Are on List of
Rollers Today.
COLONIAL FIVE IS IN THE LEAD
BowIinE TeRm from Madison, wis,
Makes Score OF 2,sOs, the High
est So Far Rolled I'm the
Tournament.

DETROIT. Mich. March This was the
first big day Of the tenth annual tourna-
ment OF the American Bowling congress at
the Wayne Pavilion. Thrty-two two-man
teams. seventy-two individuals and fourteen
four-man teams were on the schedule.
1t was also the first day upon which
the out-of-town bowlers predominated,
only a few Detroit men being on the list.
Among the cities represented were Pitts
burg Huntington. w. Va; Cincinnati,
Madison, wis; Flint Mich; Erie. Pa
Winnipeg, Man. and one five from Chicago.
Two five-meh teams-Saratogas and
Vence-from distant Manitoba ard the
Donohues, under the leadership OF "Jiggs'
Donohue, the former first baseman of the
Chicago and Washington American league
baseball teams attracted great deal Of at
tentlon from the bowling enthusiasts.
Al and Tony Schwoegler Of Madison,
wis, winners of the doubles champion
ship at Pittsburg last year with the unpre-
cedented score of 3O4, were the center Of
interest as they defend their title in one
of the early squads.
Scoring on Third Day.
The third day Of the congress ended with
2,SO3 the high mark among the five-men
teams, 1,16O the best in the doubles and 63G
leading in the singles.
The Colonials of Madison, Wis, were
the sensation of the five-men squad.
Their 1.O19 in the second game was the
high game of the series.
The high individual game was raised to
257 by Otto Walh of Cleveland in the
third game of his singles.
G. T. Mowatt and e. johnson of Detroit
took the lead in the doubles.
Following are the leading scores:
Leo Kosel, Detroit 5T7.
W. NJ. Burrell, Detroit, 529.
Arthur Wolgast Detroit, 5l3.
II. E. Bradley, Detroit, 512.
10. johnson, Detroit $40.
p. e. Todd, Detroit, sos
Now that the fourteen alleys have been
thoroughly broken in by the two squads
of five-men teams, 1t is expected the
scores would begin to rise. The drives
have been pronounced uniformly excellent
by bowling critics and it is predicted that
newNrecords will be established
While the political situation has not
occupied much time yet, it is apparently
the consensus of opinion that st. Louis
will be the favorite in the awarding Of the
next tournament. 1t is also thought there
is good chance Of most of the prominent
officials being reelected.

Primary Schools
Should Be More
Thorough--Taf aft
Ambition Of School Superintendents
Has Brought About Conditions
that Need Reform.

WASHINGTON. March Reform in
primary education in the United States was
declared to be necessary by President Taft
In an address last night at banquet OF the
University club Of Washington.
The attention OF the president had been
called to the failures OF the applicants for
admission to West Point and Annapolis by
Representative Champ Clark OF Missouri,
who In an address TO the club stated that
the applicants fail on rudlmentary sub
jects.
1 agree with the gentleman from Mis-
souri, said President Taft, that primary
education in this country should be more
thorough, and on that subject l must say
that he is nearer right than he has been
for a long time.
Il believe that the ambition of school
superintendents throughout the country
who have charge Of primary and secondary
education have led us into lack OF
thoroughness that we ought to reform. 4"
The president spoke also upon the value
of university men in the affairs Of the
government and praised college men who
are serving the government at a financial
sacrifice because they believe there Is
something more in life than money and
luxury.
81 believe we are passing through a pc
riod," the president said. in turning to
national affairs, where we need sane and
normal thinking; where the sensitive con-
dition OF the public is likely to lead It
into hysteria; a period where the public
must be brought to sane thinking and COM
mon sense do not know Of any class Of
men more charged with that duty than the
university men.
"It is true that an occasional university
man is over-educated and that he goes be-
yond the bounds of common sense but the
great body of university men, after they
have been out of college long enough to
learn the way of the world, may be counted
upon to reach safe and sane conclusions"
