In a recent interview Secretary Ballin-
ger is quoted as saying that when he is
foot-loose from Office he is going toselve
TO the public some interesting intorma-
ton concerning the purity OF the lives OF
his traducers. This will doubtless be
very exciting, but if the secretary really
wants to make a sensation he can do it
right now by telling the people just what
influence caused President TAFT to give
him cabinet place and why the PreSi-
dent is afraid to fire him.
The people are much more deeply IN
terested in the purity OF the motives OF
those who are keeping the secretary IN
office than in the purity of the lives OF
those who are trying to get him out.

THE Republican State convention Tor
New York met at Saratoga on Tuesday,
and Theodore Roosevelt easily controlled
it, having majority of l25 of the dele
gates and being elected temporary chair
man. The regulars had selected Vice
President Sherman for this office, but
he was ANONYMOUSLY showed under.
The old-time bosses were whipped out
OF their boots by the progreSSives, led by
Colonel Roosevelt, and the leaders who
have dominated The party for years have
stepped aside and told the youngsters to
run the campaign to suit themselves.
The split in the Republican party is
now hopeless, and there is little doubt
that the Democrats will sweep the State
in November. While Roosevelt will
have large personal following, it will
not be enough to Offset the detection OF
the regulars, who are showing the bitter
est hostility toward him and his progress
sive policies.

which runs between this place and
Beaumont, where it connects with the
east Texas lines of that system. The
particular object of the road in estab-
fishing extensive port facilities here
was to give it direct outlet for it's
large export lumber shipments. What
has already been accomplished in this
line is shown by the official statement
that for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1910, the value of the lumber export
shipments through Port Bolivar was
$6,500,000. 1t is expected that the
lumber shipments through here during
the present fiscal year will be nearly
double in value that of last year. At
this time theer are several million feet
of lumber upon the wharves at Port
Bolivar awaiting ships to transport it
to Mexico and other foreign markets.

Ask that question of any diner

will be:
DO know Nig-weu, 1 should say

And then you will hear fifty-two va

railroad cat in America.

Cartright knows.
Mig is a Topeka citizen-he pays
the greater part of his taxes in this
city and a big majority of his descen-
dants and heirs are residents here. But
Mig has a habit of travelling now and
then-he will leave the station in To-
peka and will not be seen for several
days-when he will appear as myster-
iOusly as he left.
vealed when you ask that dining car
waiter if he knows Mig. In other
words the railroad cat is a patron of
Rock Island dining cars and he has

state in this manner.
This is his system.
Whenever a Rock Island train backs
into Topeka station with a dining car
attached there is Ieaping black
streak between the station and the
car-then it is gone. It is Mig. Mig
doesn't claim to be a reader or a stu
