While it may be viewed as an act of
generosity for parents to divide all of
their property equally among their
several children, there are good rea-
sons why they should keep enough of
1t to provide themselves modest
home and good living in their old
age. entirely apart from the hospitality
which, as rule. is gladly extended to
them in. the homes Of their children.
There is no place like home, and to
people Of no other age is this truer
than those well along in years. To have
a spot or realm which is ones own
and In which one can do as he pleases
is a prerogative that every parent
should enjoy. 1t not only breeds a
spirit Of independence on the part of
the parent, but induces a wholesome
respect on the part Of children and
other relatives.

Oats have been recognized as sort
of ideal horse feed SO long that any
suggestion which appears to controvert
this view seems to be sort of revolu-
tionary, but this is just what the Iowa
experiment station has done lately. 1t
has concluded some rather exhaustive
horse feeding experiments and finds
that, while oats are usually the lowest
priced cereal fed to horses, they may
in the end be the most costly ration
that can be used. 1t was found that
by substituting for them oilmeal. cot
tonseed meal or gluten meal just as
satisfactory results were had at less
cost. In results secured value Of $50
per ton was placed on oilmeal and an
even higher price on cottonseed meal.

ASKS FOR TWO eATTLEsHIPs
Secretary Meyers Naval Construction
Program Made Public.

Washington.-Two battleships, one
collier, n gunboat and one river gun
boat. two seagoing tugs. two subma-
rines, n submarine tender.
This is the yaval construction pro-
gram of the secretary of the navy as
1t appears in nis annual report
Commenting on the program the
secretary says: 1T is of great impor-
taLce that the construction Of the
navy should proceed on a regular and
systematic plan. The arguments for
such a policy. based upon the neces
sity of maintaining our relative posi-
ton as a naval power in the interest
CT the preservation of peace, have
been very thoroughly presented.
In addition, however, to this. 1t is
important to lay special emphasis on
the effect of any break in this policy
upon the shipyards of the country.
The navy must be, to a certain ex-
tent, dependent for its material and,
to ome extent. for its repair facili-
ties. In wal times, on these establish
ments. Their preservation and on
tinuance in business are necessary to
the national safety. IL is in this light
that the need for a regular system of
naval appropriations become of add.
tional importance. Two battleships a
year. with minor construction, is
about as little as will suffice to obtain
the result"

since. making $12.O OO, 900 to be known

MAKES SOCIAL DEBUT.
Helen Taft Is Formally Presented to
Society at White House.

Observation-Disclosures in a gown
of her favorite rose shade, Miss
Helen Taft, the presidents only daugh.
ter, made her formal debut at a recep-
iton which attracted all Washington
society to the White House and was
characterized by the most lavish floral
display known at a White House func-
ton.
This latest bud in the historic
bouquet of White House debutantes
was formally presented at a tea
given In the famous East o where
so many notable social events have
occurred.
There was a decided innovation in
this affair which was due to the tact
and discrimination of Mrs. Taft,
Heretofore it has been the custom to
give a dance for the younger set,
after which the presidential bud was
at liberty to accept invitations and
be considered formally "out." Mrs.
Taft, however. reverted to the
colonial custom, which included a re
ception and a personal presentation
to society, young and old. This gave
her an opportunity of introducing her
daughter. not only to her debutante
contemporaries, but to the matrons OF
society, members of the cabinet
army and navy folk, the diplomatic
corps and the creme de la creme OF
society. Mrs. Taft was plainly
pleased by the success of the revival
| of the old style.

Explorer Says He Does Not Know

New Ycrk.-Dr. Frederick A. Cook.

magazine article that he does not know
whether he reached the north pole or
not.

and hunger" he declares. "at the time

The doctor declares in this remark.
able article that his purpose in writing
and publishing 1t is, if possible, to re
gain the esteem of his fellow country
men. To DO this, he says, he will tell
the detailed story of the two years OF
hardship and intense suffering which.
he says, made him half mad" and
caused him to announce that he had
reached the long-striven-for goal at
the farthest north, when. in reality, he
was ignorant of where he had been.
The explorer asserts that 1t would
be impossible for any man to domon-
strate beyond question that he had
been at the north pole. He describes
the region as one of insanity, where
one cannot believe the evidences
gathered By ones own eye. He says
that he always looked upon the dis.
covery of the pole as an achievement
for his own personal satisfaction
for the satisfaction of a craving and
desire that was greater than any other
factor in his life. When he found how
tremendous a sensation his statement
that he had attained the pole canse
he was overcome with Dewilderment.

GOVERNORS END MEET;
PLAN ORGANIZATION
Direct Primaries ard Conservation
Are Topics Discussed at the
Closing Session.

Louisville, Ky.-After starting a
movement to put the next confer
ence OF governors On a business
like basis and establish permanent
headquarters where programs will be
arranged insuring better results,
listening to a s~uffragist's speech and
discussions of various important sub
jects, the third annual conference of
governors adjourned to meet at Spring
Lake. N. j., next September.
The question of meeting in cities
where the hosts Wed with other cities
in entertaining the visiting executives
was discussed in the executive session
and in the future the governors will
stop only at hotels and will pay their
W expenses.
While the meeting In Louisville has
been one of the most enjoyable since
the house of governors was inaugu-
rated, the social part of the entertain
ment overshadowed the business ses-
sions and many things which had
been scheduled to come before the
conference had to be laid on the table.
A resumption of the discussion on
direct primaries, which began at the
conclusion of an able address by Gov.
John Franklin Fort of New Jersey,
at the first session of the conference,
was the feature of the meeting.
Governor Fort made a strong plea
for direct primaries. This was fol-
lowed by Governor Draper Of Massa-
chusetts, who declared that the people
of his state felt that the system is
not an Improvement over the conven-
ton system. He declared that the di-
rect primary system must, of neces-
sity. cost more.
Governor Deneen of Illinois was the
chief speaker on conservation. In his
speech he called attention to the vast
! coal fields of Alaska, which he said
are of vital Importance to the states
on the Pacific coast. and asked II
these lands should be permitted to
fall into the hands of n man or one
concern; or, if Alaska should be ad.
mitted as a state, If Alaska should be
given absolute power over them. Gov
ernor Deneen said that the main criti.
cism of federal control of natural re-
sources was directed against the prin'
ciplc rather than it's application and
the practical results to be obtained.
He said that all were agreed that
these natural resources should be con-
served. and In his opinion this could
not be done satisfactorily except by
the general government

Charge Railways and Shippers Break
Antitrust Law.
Savannah, Ca, Dec. 3.-After hear
ing testimony since noon Monday, the
asderal grand jury of the United States
district court handed down indict-
ments charging an infringement of the
antitrust laws on the part of three
large corporations and two individ-
lals.
The Atlantic Coast line and the Sea
BOARD Air line railways were indicted
Jointly with the Merchants and
Miners Transportation company for
specific violations of the Sherman anti
trust and Elkins laws.
Harvie Miller and Morris Miller,
grain merchants and members Of L.
F. Miller & Sons, Philadelphia, were
he individuals to feel the wrath OF
he government. The indictment of
Morris was a surprise.
The Miller brothers put themselves
N the Jurisdiction of the United States
court for the southern district of Geor-
gia through their shipments into this
district over the lines Of the three cor
,orations indicted.
In the indictments dates are given
when the individual defendants are
alleged to have made shipments over
he lines named at rates less than
hose ON file with the interstate com
nerce commission.
1t Is alleged that from western
points to Philadelphia the Millers OBJ
aimed export rates where the law de-
handed domestic rates. This saved
hem from one to three cents on every
100 pounds of grain shipped.

LEGISLATURE.

New York. - The Joint legisla-
tive committee, which is investiga-
ting operations OF the race track lobby
at Albany, have opened up leads that
will probably bring out startling de-
velopments.
Based upon estimates made by
members of the committee and its
counsel, it seems likely that before
the inquiry is closed it will be shown
that more than 81, 600, 900 was raised
by the racetrack interests in 1905 to
defeat the Agnew-Hart law.
The books of the Jockey club,
brought to the hearing by Frank x.
Sturgis, banker and secretary-treas-
urer of the club, show that in 1907
more than $4,000 was paid on the
authority OF August Belmont as chair
man of the club, as legal ices to de-
feat the Cassidy bill, which sought to
increase the tax on the gross receipts
of racing associations. All of this
money went to E. p. Coyne as legal
fees." Coyne was retained by the
racing Interests the next year to beat
the Hughes anti-gambling bills. Stur.
gis said Coyne vas employed on the
recommendation of James w. Wads.
worth, Jr., at that time speaker of the
assembly.
The corruption fund seems to have
come from two sources-the eight
racing associations and the bookma-
kers, organized into a close gambling
combine under the name of the Metro
politan Turf association.
James r. Keene and Harry Payne
Whitney, who have been named as
subscribers to the fund, are sojourn'
ing in Europe in spite of efforts to
subpoena them as witnesses, as are
also Eugene Wood, E. p. Coyne and
other men known to have been con
nected either with the lobby or tn
racing interests.
