Cupid Has HIS Innings Todau

Cupid in the person of a tired let

Uncle Sam-was very busy today.
Despite the burning of a big Massa-

Cupid had his headquarters there was
no apparent lack of amatory messages
in this city, if the postmen are to be
believed.
All over the city the uniformed rep

door of palace and hovel, bearing mis-
sives which have been quite the same
since the time they were crudely
carved on rocks to now, where men are
lords of languages.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-(Special
to the Statesman )-Will ex- president
Roosevelt endorse the administration

This is the big question in political
circles here in the national capital just
now. And, incidentally, the whole ma
tion is interested in the query and

A world scoop awaits the man who
can secure the first authentic word
from Roosevelt as to whether he is
for Taft's denomination or not.
Journalists are now on tfei rway to
Europe with assignments to secure
such a beat if possible.
The republican standpatters have
made the uncertainty still more acute
than it would ordinarily be by assert
ing that Roosevelt will support Taft
for denomination. From a purely po-
litical standpoint, the democrats sin
cerely hope Mr.. Taft will be renomi-
mated.

Allen Writes on

Although in the confines of the
county Jail, John b. Allen is still
writing treatises on the subject of ell
ectricity. Allen who thought that ell
ectricity was continually after his life,
has already published a pamphlet
dealing with the subject in detail and
now is continuing his study with more
time at his disposal. 1t will be rem
embered that Allen was found insane
recently by the superior court and will
probably be sent to the Medical Lake
sanitarium. He things that electri-
city has caused all the large fires i'm

permeates nearly every phase of busi-
ness utility" and that even influenza
and la grippe came to this country
identically with the advent of gas and
electricity.
His latest composition is a several
page article which he sent to Judge
Brents this morning telling him that
he could publish it or not as he saw
fit. Deputy Sheriff Floyd Haviland
and the office force have been kept
busy supplying Allen with stationery
to write his essays and each article
as it comes to the public is the source
of much keen enjoyment to him.

date for congress, being the most
conspicuous one from the party.
Representation from the district was
good. John PattisOn made an efficient
toastmaster, being introduced by May

The meeting was unusual in more
ways than one. The only pictures dis
played were those of Jackson and JEFF
ferson, thanking that of Lincoln, whose
memory was being honored. Bryan's
picture was absent, as We're all of any
living democrat. There was no doubt
as to the attitude of the meeting to-

mention of his name brought vigorous
applause. The name of Roosevelt was
likewise a cheer producer.
