nation of Gov. Harmon for another term
in the gubernatoriaI chair, according TO
William F. Gunther. of Cleveland. Ohio,
who was seen at the Raleigh last night
Harmon is the strongest man the
Democrats Of Ohio can place in the field.
He can poll not only the entire Demo-
cratic vote. but It is quite certain that he
will receive the votes Of thousands OF
Republicans. Harmon has the confidence
Of the business interests Of Ohio, and
his administration has given entire salts
faction. He is growing in popularity
every day. and no matter who the
Republicans may put in the field they
will never be able to defeat Harmon
Garfield may be a good man and con
scientious official and may have the sup
port of the Roosevelt adherents. but ne
is not strong enough 10 defeat Harmon.
Judge Tayler is good man and enjoys
the confidence Of the public. but he is no
match against Harmon.
ION the other hand, If Harmon should
be put up by the Democrats at the next
national convention as their standard
bearer. his Ohio Republican friends will
desert him in a national contest when
they will support him in a State cleo
ton.

THREE ACTORS IN SORROW

A pathetic story of the tragedies of
the stage is revealed by David Beeh-
Ter. who has just returned from Sioux
City, Ia. where he encountered Do
Wolf Hopper and Arthur Dunn.
The trio were in the West hotel In
Sioux City. 1t was their first meeting
in years. After the exchange OF cour-
tesies had been passed Mr Dunn
asked Hopper. How are your folks?"
and received the reply. VERY we'll.

Three days later Mr.. Hopper re-
ceived wire announcing the death Of
his mother and was forced to cancel
engagements. That same day, two
hours later Mr.. Dunn received a tele-
graphic announcement of his fathers
death. and on the same night was in
formed that his brotherin-law. Ezra
Kendall. had passed away. The men
met on the outgoing train from Sioux
City and condoled with each other
over the bereavement which had b.

To Gain Social Success

From the Farewell Address.

OF all the dispositions and habits
which lead to political prosperity, re.
ligion and morality are indispensable
supports. In vain would that man
claim the tribute Of patriotism who
should labor to subvert these great
pillars Of human happiness, these
flrmest props of the duties Of men
and citizens. The mere politician,
equally with the pious man, ought to
respect and cherish them. A volume
could not trace all their connections
with private and public felicity Let
1t simply be asked where is the Sc.
curity for property, for reputation,
for life, II the sense Of religious OBJ
legation deserts the oaths which are
the instruments of investigation In
courts Of justice? And let US with
caution indulge the supposition that
morality can be maintained without
religion. Whatever may be conceded
to the influence of refined education
on minds Of peculiar structure, rea-
son and experience both forbid US to
expect that national morality can pre-
vail in exclusion Of religious princi-
