the inference drawn from the following
extract from the Washington Star and
which is said to have come to the Star
directly from the White House and to
private offices:
The Taft managers will take no
chances in the next convention. Their
careful survey of the situation con-
vinces them that the great majority of
the republicans of the country want
the president for another term and
they do not propose that t the last
minute any hurrah business shall rob
them of the work they have done. So,
beginning with the meeting Of the ma
tional committee. which is overwhelm-

played. Hitchcock's old steam roller

Taft is the victim of himself and the

he has, to use a local expression with
the profanity eliminated, been poorly
advised If there is a conclusion to

vice and the weakest judgment in a
three conglomerate of bad advice and

COLLEGE GAMBLING.

[Des Moines Register and LEADER
The Rev. John Hoag. pastor OF the
Calvary Baptist church Of New Haven.
Conn.,, the seat OF Yale College. pre-
diets that within ten years the an
nual Yale Harvard game will have TO
be abandoned because Of the democrat
izing influence of the gambling that
seems to be inseparaoly associated
with football.
College gambling is certainly an in
teresting study. Altho baseball is a
professional sport. and football an
amateur sport, the distinction being
that one is played for money and the
other for glory. there has come to be
more gambling attending a college
amateur football contest OF even minor
Importance than attends a whole sea-
sons series OF professional baseball
games.
Why does the baseball fan attend his
professional game for the sport, while
college boys and girls who have nomi-
nally dedicated themselves to the high
err standards Of life. are not able to
get satisfaction out Of clean victory
over the field. but must send their OPP
ponents home broke. TO enjoy the full
measure Of success?
Whatever the explanation, the fact
remains that more money Is displayed
In more reckless fashion at the aver
age football contest than at the aver
age racing meet, and horse racing has
been from the beginning the gamb-
ier's sport.
To those who look upon gambling as
the fundamental vice, more insiduous
than any other, and more demoraliz-
ing. this early college training in taking
the other mans easy money is not one
Of the hopeful signs OF the times. But
1t would not seem necessary to aban-
don 80 healthful an outdoor sport as
football in order to put stop to open
and notorious gambling on the part Of
college students. That would be like
burning the barn to get rid Of the rats.

WIN Young Men Go Wrong.

The police courts in New York City
bear disquic.ing testimony to the truth
of some Of Mr.. William Allen Whites
structures upon modern education
printed in our issue Of Nov. 4. Boys
and young men are becoming criminals
or misdemeanants for one among other
reasons because their education mas
given them a distaste for manual To-
Dor. The Christian Advocate gives a
summary Of the pronouncements o.
Judge Thomas e. OSullivan. OF the
court of general sessions, with some
comments thereon:
"One Of the remarkable features CT
the criminal classes today in the city
Of New York Is the youthfulness of
large proportion Of the offenders. All
the Judges in general sessions have
noticed this and have commented upon
the fact that in most instances the
young men caught in the net are the
sons Of respectable and hard-working
parents. The judge testifies as follows:
Y have talked with the parents OF
many OF these young Offenders. and
have been told thet. as a rule, the
prisoners have attended school until
they were sixteen or seventeen. Very
few. OF them have ever worked at any
occupation With but one or two ex-
ceptions they never have undertaken
to learn a trade. Many OF these
Young criminals are from the immi-
grant stock, but there are many whose
names suggest an American extrac-
tion.' :,

KENYON AND TAFT.
IWebster City Herald.

1t is reported that the genial Mr..
Campbell Of Fort Dodge at some recent
convivial event in Chicago delivered an
address in which he declared that the
only thing that would carry Taft thru
in Iowa was the fact that Senator
Kenyon had announced his preference
for him. That Is delightfully."- frank
and as loyal as ever squire was to
knight in ye olden time. No doubt the
expressed wisi, Of Senator Kenyon that
Taft be supported would carry Mr..
Campbell and MANY other Webster
county folk safely into the Taft col
umn despite the whispering of their
better judgment, but how much further
would this charmed circle extend
Would the farmers. the bone and
sinew Of the republican party, he po-
lite and considerate enough to con-
cede to the senator's wishes as con-
cession to mis- charming personality.
Would the senator's oft repeated state
ment that Taft Is par excellence, the
real progressive on the job convince
these hard-headed Hawkeyes in the
face Of the record? This much has
been very evident, and every tariff
| baron. every trust magnate, every cap
tain Of industry and every machine
| politician in the country is for Taft.
Wall street is not afraid Of Taft. The
Standard Oil Company, the Tobacco
Trust and the railroad statesmen and
attorneys do not shy and run at Taft.

choir and pipe organ will open the

needed since nearly everyone, nova
days, has 4 watch. And the steepie
in which the bell hung is doomed.
Modern churches taboo them as out OF
fashion. The Methodist bell that for
so many years proclaimed free will,

its high steeple and passed to the junk
pile. The new Congregational church
has no place for bell: the new Chris
tian church, to be erected next season,
will have neither bell nor steeple: the
Baptist bell may ring in Thanksgivin
and then become silent the Presbyter-
ian bell will ring on for a year or two
! longer and then it too will lapse into
silence. The Catholic chimes will
probably alone continue for they are too
deeply rooted in the past to adopt
modern changes. This seems to be the

; the passing of the church bell, and find
poetry, pathos. and piety mingled in
the subject. For how many centuries

worship and tolled for the dead?

just now. The supreme court recently
ruled that the possession Of liquor of
any quantity in a public eating house,
or the possession of unusual quantities
of it in private home indicates a
presumption to engage in the illegal
selling of liquor. The decision comes
from case sent up from Mahaska
county and the supreme court sustain
ed the decision of the lower court. Oh,
to be sure, we all believe that in some
parts of the state certain "sappers" get
a box Of preferred Stock" Mono
gram" or some other brand and let
their neighbors have bottle now and
then. and it is nobody's business And
the official that would look into the
matter need never expect to get re-
elected in some parts of the state.

Bet OF S co.

San Francisco. Breaking eggs as
fast as they were handed to him and
catapulting the contents into his
mouth at the rate of one in three
seconds, Nick Volz, butcher, swal-
lowed 54 eggs in 1876 seconds, there
by refuting the statement of a we'll
known physician that it could not be
done. Volz got the eggs and 500.
Several days ago Abe Shapiro, pro-

was familiar with the accomplish
ments of Voltz along gastronomic
lines, offered to bet Leon Sanders
500 that Volz could devour 54 eggs
in six minutes.
Sanders sought counsel of doc
tor and received satisfying advice.
Then he took up the wager and sup
plemented it by making a similar bet
with Volz.
After eating the eggs Volz took
two drinks of whisky and resumed
his work
