Because O home is in the country-be-

reason why it should be more up-to-date
and attractive, for those who are fortu-
nate enough to live in the country really
spend more time in their homes than do
those who live in cities
And it is also true that farm homes and
farm life is daily becoming more and more
attractive. The inside of our house is our
home, so why not make it nice and at
tractive, homely and cheerful, up-to-date
and modern.

DEFENDS OHIO SCHOOL HEADS
superintendents Put Senator Vount
on Grill for Charges Against
Pedaaogues.

Dayton, 0.-At the meeting Of the
Western Ohio Superintendents' Round
Table held here last week, Senator
Yount, author of the Textbook Bill bear
ing his name and which is now under
consideration by the House of Repre-
sentatives, appeared on the scene. He
was at once recognized by Mr.. E. B. Cox,
Superintendent of the Xenia Schools,
and a man of prominence in school cir
cles. Mr.. Cox called the attention OF
the meeting to the fact that Sepator
Yount was present and said this is
the man who stated before the Com
mittee on Schools in the House OF
Representatives that 1879 of the Su.
perintendents, teachers, and members
of boards of education in Ohio were
under the domination of the Book
Trust, whatever that is"
Senator Yount Immediately arose
and demurred, stating that he thought
his position in this matter has been
misunderstood.
Il was present and heard you use
the language which l quoted" said
Supt. Cox, who then went on to say:
II do not impugn your motives in in
Producing and supporting the measure
under consideration. l assume that
you are honest and sincere in your
belief that this measure may be
good thing for the school interests of
Ohio. We do not propose to discuss
the question whether the superintend-
ents of schools, and the teachers, and
boards of education of this State are
better qualified to express an opinion
on the merits of such a measure than
yourself, but do maintain that you
have no right to ascribe dishonest mo-
tives to the teaching body of this
State. We have precisely the same
right to our judgment regarding the
practicability of such a measure that
any other citizens have, and the same
right to express our opinions freely,
without condemnation of our motives
in doing so, and resent on the behalf
of the educational body of this great
State the position in which you have
sought to place u.s."
Mr.. Cox is one of the older and bet
ter-known Superintendents of the
State, having been connected with,
the public-school system for many
years. He is highly respected and
known to be independent and forcible
in the expression of his opinions. His
remarks were received with great en-
thusiasm by the meeting, which
promptly and almost unanimously en-
dorsed the position taken by the State
School Commissioner against the
Yount measure and State Uniformity
of School Books in general.

SnectacIes for Soldiers.

In many cases the vision of third
class shots has been much improved
by the use of spectacles. In the First
Northamptonshire regiment third
class shot became first-class shot. In
the First Queens a man who just
missed being a third-class shot be-
came first. In the First Oxfords one
failed and two third-class shots be-
came second class and one third class
became first. In the First Cameron
ians one improved from noneffective
to a second-class shot. In the First
Royal Scots fusiliers one third-class
shot became second-class shot These
results are due to action taken by the
medical authorities in 1907, when the
eyesight of several selected regiments
was carefully examined by army
medical specialists in ophthalmology.

aminations were made, and the gov

struggle for existence that some Of

when the country is tranquil. It was
a two days trip by horseback from
the coast to the mine. A friend of
the engineer arranged for man to
handle his luggage on the way, cook,
feed the horses and perform other
odd jobs. Just outside the town the
porter, cook and hostler halted his

planned that he could not enter the

ROOSEVELT IS ANGRY
DENIES HE AUTHORIZED PINcHoT
TO SAY He WOULD RUN
AGAIN.
DECLARES STORY is FAKE
Colonel Says He Is Sorry Not to
Meet Root In Europe-Deslres
Light on Political Conditions From
All Sides.

Vienna.-Theodore Roosevelt was
indignant when he learned that a re-
port had been printed in Paris and
cabled to America, to the effect that
one of the results, of his recent con-
ference with Clifford Pinchot was an
agreement on his part to use his name
as a candidate for the presidency.
The colonel said the story was a
pure fake, that neither he nor Clifford
Pinchot had said anything that could
possibly warrant such statement.
In this connection Roosevelt said
his meeting with Pinchot should not
be interpreted as desire to hear only
one side of the conservation contro-
versy. II want to hear all sides on all
questions" the colonel said, land l
shall be glad to see anyone who can
enlighten me on political conditions.
am sorry that Senator Root could
not come to Europe"
In concluding his remarks regarding
the Paris Herald, the colonel said: "As
this is the third false statement in
the Herald of a similar character, /
must absolutely decline to see the
representatives Of that paper"
Theodore Roosevelt and his son
Kermit arrived here Friday morning.
A thin haze hung over the Austrian
capital when the train bearing Mr..
Roosevelt drew into the station. The
guest was met by Herr Won Mueller,
principal secretary Of the foreign Of
fee, who was there as representative
of the Austrian government. Amer
lean Ambassador Kerens and others
of the STATS of the American embassy
and consulate and Baron Hengelmul-
Ter Won Hengervar, Austro-Hungarian
ambassador at Washington.
After an exchange of greetings Mr..
Roosevelt and Mr.. Kerens entered a
court carriage and drove directly to
the Hotel KranZ. Owing to the earli-
ness of the hour the streets were al
most deserted and although the
driver and the footman wore the i'm
perial livery the passing of the party
attracted no attention.
After breakfast with Henry White,
formerly American ambassador to
France, who came from Silesia to meet
him, Mr.. Roosevelt received several
Americans who awaited him at the
hotel and then drove in the court car
riage to the foreign office, on the Ball
Platz, and made an official call on
Count Won Aehrenthal, the foreign min
lister. Returning to his hotel, the for
mer president received a call from
Baron Hengelmuller.
At two o'clock in the afternoon Mr.
Roosevelt again entered the court car
riage and drove to the Horburg palace,
where he was received in audience by
Emperor Francis Joseph. AS a spe-
cial mark of esteem the emperor
greeted his guest in his private apart
ments instead of in the usual audience
chamber. AS Mr.. Roosevelt entered
the courtyard the palace guard turned
out and rendered him military honors.

TAKING OF CENSUS BEGINS
Army Of 10000 Enumerators Starts
Out to Count Uncle Sans Fam
ily-Work Ends In Month.

Washington.-An army Of 10000
enumerators-larger than the stand.
ing army-Friday morning began
the task Of counting the population Of
the United States. It Is estimated
that Uncle Sam has about 100000 900
children and the work of checking
them up must be completed in one
month. In the cities the count will
be made in Is days and some Of the
returns from them are expected by
the first week in June. The exact
population of the entire country, how
ever, will not be determined before
September.
The enumeration will cover all the
46 states, the two territories, Hawaii
and Porto Rico. Alaska, the Phil
ippine islands and Guam are not in
cluded, as special arrangements are
made for numbering the people there.
The inquiry comprises three principal
branches: Population, agriculture,
and manufacturing and mining.
The questions cover the acreage, the
value and the product of farms, in
Guiding an especial enumeration Of
animals, and the capital invested, the
value of products. and the number Of
employees of mining and manufac-
turing plants.
Director Durand is counting upon
90,000,000 names. This estimate is
based upon the calculations OF his ex-
perts, and makes allowance for an in.
crease according to the tendencies
shown in the last three censuses. Be-
tween 1870 and 1880 the increase in
the population was 80 per cent; be-
tween 1880 and 1890, rs per cent; be-
tween 1890 and 1900. 21 per cent. If
the decrease should continue at the
same ratio there would be falling off
this year of II per cent.

BRYAN DEFENDER OF SILVER
Nebraskan Says Taft Agrees With
Him in Attributine High Prices
to Gold Flood.

Washington.-The letter of William
Jennings Bryan, written from Brazil
and read before the Democrats who
attended the Jefferson day banquet
here and those at a similar dinner
in Indianapolis Wednesday-the letter
which caused a commotion among
local banquet committeeman at its
initial reading because of what some
Of them considered its unorthodox
statements-is in part as follows:
president Taft, in his Lincoln
speech at New York. February II, at
tributed the present high prices main
ly to the increase in the production of
gold, and the consequent enlargement
of the volume of money.
This unexpected Endorsement of
our party's proposition in 1896. when
we demanded more money as the only
remedy for falling prices, is very graft
flying. How valuable that admission
would have been to us If it had been
made during the campaign of that
year when the Republican leaders
we're denying that the volume of money
had any influence on prices, and as
sorting that it did not matter whether
we had much money or little. provided
1t was all good.
I'VE may now consider the quan.
titative theory of money established
beyond dispute and proceed to the
consideration of other questions. But
the president and his predecessor have
admitted the correctness of the Dem.
ocratic position on so many questions
that further argument is hardly neces'
sary on any subject: we may now
take judgment against the Republican
party by confession"
