DAYTON, Ohio, February 12.-Laudiug
the recent speech of Senator Hepburn
and declaring it was possible that an adj
ministration dominated by old-time Con-
federate ideas might succeed to power in
the United States, Representative David
A. Hollingsworth, speaking before the
Ohio Republican League at harmony
meeting tonight, created mild sensation
The speaker declared that the continu-
ance in power of a republican President
and Congress alone could prevent it. He
criticised the placing Of the statue Of
Gen. Robert E. Lee i'm the Capitol hall of
fame.
the part Of the south-a statue OF Con-
federate general in full uniform-already
adorns the national hall of fame he
said. There is no telling the extent of
humiliation in store for the loyal senti-
ment of the country should an admins
tration succeed to power. as is possible,
dominated by old-time Confederate ideas.
The next movement is to do like honor to
Jefferson Davis, who, to the day OF his
death, spurned American citizenship

office, especially the presidency. be pleds-
ed to abide by the settlements Of the war
period and abide by the provisions of the

made by southern members in both
houses will come to naught.
Senator Hepburn Is not the only pa
triot in the United States Senate. When
the test comes, as 1T will in the present
recrudescence of southern
thought and sentiment at the National
Capital, the republicans will be in line
Hammond for Loyalty to Policies.
John Hays Hammond. president of the
National League of Republican Clubs,
was one of the principal speakers at the
banquet.
Mr.. Hammond declared that he had
found from investigation that grievances
existing in the ranks of the republican
party are petty and not fundamental, and
more imaginary than real, and that it is
in the times of political inactivity that
factional differences and chickering's arise.
In political crises of this kind OHIO
has always been conspicuous for her 10y
atty to country and party" he said.
There is rapidly growing demand on
the part of the electorate of the country
that the national platforms of the great
political parties shall represent the re-
spective issues for which these parties
contend: that these platforms shall say
what they mean and mean what they
say, and that ambiguous or disinsenuous
planks shall be no longer tolerated as de-
vices to obtain votes; and, further, that
the President elected by either party.
having subscribed to the principles
enunciated in the platform of that party,
is pledged to the people of the country to
exercise his utmost endeavors to secure

I'm view of these facts the National
League of Republican Clubs recognizes
President Taft as the responsible head
Of the republican party.
1.-THE name of William Howard Taft of
Ohio supplied the enthusiasm for the
campaign work of our clubs in the recent
national election. The name of Presi-
dent Taft and the policies for which he
stands will supply the National League
Of Republican Clubs the requisite en-

POSTAL BANK BILL VOTE
SENATE EXPECTED TO PASS
MEASURE THIS WEEK.
Amendment Favored by Senator
Root Likely to Meet With
Opposition.

A vote on the postal savings bank bill,
which has been before the Senate for
several weeks, is expected to be taken in
the upper house some time this week, and
it probably will be favorable.
This is the prediction of those who are
pushing the measure, and they say they
have talked with many senators and
feel that the Senate will decide to close
the discussion of the measure within a
few days and proceed at once to a vote.
Three more important speeches, at
least. are expected to be made on the
bill before its final passage. Senator
Bailey has announced that he desires to
his address probably will be made We'd
nesday or Thursday. Senator Owen also
desires to talk on the measure early in
the week, and it is understood he will
support the bill in it's present form.
Senator Root is expected to speak on
the amendment which he offered a few
days ago. The change which he pro-
poses in the bill is generally acknowl-
edged to be radical one and there Is
much speculation as to whether 1t Will
be accepted by a majority of the Senate.
In it's present form the bill provides
that the funds in the postal savings
banks shall be deposited by the govern
ment in approved banks in the immediate
vicinity of the post Offices This is one of
the features which several of the western
senators who are supporting the bill
have insisted upon Senator Root pro-
poses an amendment to provide for the
investment of the deposits in government
bonds, allowing the depositing of the
money in banks near the post Offices
when no federal bonds are to be pur-
chased.
1t is understood that Senator Root will
hold that his amendment is necessary to
make the present measure constitutional,
but those who have been active in push
ing the bill do not believe the addition
Is in any way required on the grounds of
constitutionality

Bill Will Be Modified.

1t is generally conceded. however. that
the bill will be somewhat modified from
it's present form before it is finally ac-
cepted by Congress. This is taking 1T for
granted that postal savings system will
be established by the present Congress,
and that is admitted only because it
seems to be one of the administration S
measures in which President Taft is
particularly interested.
The predictions that the bill will be
changed, however, are made because Of
the feeling that Senator Aldrich wants the
system to fit into the central bank plan
which he is understood to favor in con-
nection with the reorganization of the
monetary system of the country.
The changes which will be recommend
ed by the national monetary commission,
of which Senator Aldrich is chairman. as
a result of it's widespread Investigations,
will not be presented at this session of
Congress. But 1t is believed that the
postal savings system will be so arrang-
ed, IL the Senate leaders can do SO, as to
fit into their plans when finally presented

Wants FORWARD Town.

"They want to exclude Martins sub
division for reasons that are laughable, "
continued Mr.. Martin, but / want a
four ward Chevy Chase. / propose an
amendment to the Incorporation scheme
that will include Martins addition. 1t
ought also to take in the club grounds
and certain of the farm property around
here for taxation purposes
A gentleman living in Martins addi-
ton arose thereupon and presented d
petition which he said was signed by
thirty residents of that addition, and
which protested against Incorporating
Martins addition. This gentleman said
that Martins addition did not want TO
be incorporated under any terms at all.
Mr.. Martin answered this gentleman and
precipitated a discussion very distant
to the issues which the legislative dele
cation had come to hear.
Senator Lee cleared the atmosphere with
a few crisp words, and the meeting pro-
ceeded to the discussion of incorporation.

Petitions and Motions.

A motion to take a vote was followed
by another motion to postpone a vote
for ten days, to include woman taxpayers
as well as men, and the large representa-
ton Of ladies cheered. Neither motion
was acted upon. A petition was there
upon presented, purporting to be a
majority representation of taxpayers and
legal voters of the proposed town, OPP
posing the Incorporation. another was
presented purporting to represent list
of 100 voters and 81 taxpayers who are
in favor of Incorporation.
The petitions. canvassed for under diff
ferent conditions. and at different times
during the last fortnight, were not
parallel in every particular, but Senator
Lee suggested that the delegation be
allowed to take them to Annapolis, to-
gether with the final proposition of all
concerned.
1t is understood that the next word
on the subject will come from Annapolis.

 On the road that ribboned through the forest and up from the lake walked Emma Brooks and her sister Beth, the latter grumbling.

As a rule, I believe they are real men. every whit as worthy as good men who don't bear this distinction of title. Still, the field is necessarily restricted, and you mustn't forget that there are other noble men as distinguished from no- blemen-men of sterling value, who ring true under every test
 "Like-like Jimsy," yentured Beth with q dubious air, casting about and on the spur of the moment thinking of none other she knew who would tit the description.
 Like Jimsy," assented Emma em- phatically.
 "Bht he's so ungrammatical, so-er- shy on education, besides which he hasn't any money" objected Mrs. liar ris.
 None to speak of seconded Beth, pursing her lips deprecatingly.
 Aside from that, though conceded Mrs. Harris. "I must say Jimsy's q real good man and most obliging. He can't help his upbringing."
 How about Captain Williams" questioned Emma. How would you class him:"
 My dear" answered her mother, you wouldn't put him in the same class with Jimsy-I mean socially. He's so rich, 1 wouldn't be surprised if he were several times d millionaire. Remember, he has two automobiles. And the handsome way he treated you. Why. he crossed out the S16,000 that abomination stole as though it were a matter of 16 cents"
