| Washington, Nov. 21.-The Star
today prints the following:
Taft delegates to the next nag
tional convention are to be instruct
ed, rivited, and iron bound. That is
, virtually the decision of the Taft
! leaders today, and it means that
within month the campaign for the
denomination of the president will
| take on organized proportions.
"Orders will go out Immediately
after the meeting of the republica I
national committee here lext month.
| It which the time and place 60: he
next national convention will be
, fixed, that wherever Taft delegates
/ are selected by the oldtime conven-
ton system, the instructions for the
president will be such that overly en-.
| thusiastic gentlemen may not be
! swept off their feet by any flanking
| movement
The truth is that Taft people see
the IT. r. ghost in the distance. Like
the jack 'o.lantern of childhood days
it fits about the. political marshes
and bottom lands, a constant source
OF Wonderment, and awe and warn-
ing to be careful and step with de-

C0RRUPTING THE NATIVES

The appeal of the native South
African chiefs to the authorities to
suppress the liquor traffic among
their subjects is a terrible indict
ment against civilization, but it is
the Old, old story Of rum following
the missionary wherever he goes.
Since time began, in the contact of
superior with an inferior people
the latter have assimilated most Of
the vices but few Of the virtues Of
the former. Right here in our own
country the indians furnish an en-
ample.
In their primitive state. drunken
ness and it's attendant results are Nh
KEoWn. Then came the missionary
with his bible and close behind him
the trader with his rum, one in
search of souls, the other seeking
gold. Is it any WOTder that the req
men, debauched and cheated, sue
cumed to the evil passions aroused
III them by intoXicants and furnished
a preteXt to the whites to take BY,
force Of arms their hearts desire.
II there is anything in the plant
OF the South African chiefs, the
same tragedy is being n2cted on the
l1ark Continent. The natives, IN
used to the drinking vice Of civiiza-
uon, are becoming worse than the;,
were before the whites came among
them. 1t is the scheme Of things
that as mankind nears perfection,
only the fittest survive, but it cannot
be denied that the weaker brother
is certainly deserving Of pity.

Weak-kneed Shiver.
OF course the 'T.R.' bugaboo was
| expected about this time Of the year
1t is due to have quite an airing, &C
cording 10 the political seers today.
IN the next month or two it is to
be Haunted in all parts of the coun-
| try; made to do all sorts of weird
dances and the weakened TAFT
people will have the shivers Only
the stout of heart among the friends
| of the president will remain TRANQUIL
| through it all.
The TAFT manager will take no
! chances in the next convention. Their
careful survey Of the situation con-
! vinces them that the great majority
of the republicans want the presi-
dent for another term and they do
not propose that at the last rl1nut .
any hurrah business shall rob them
Of the work they have done.
so, beginning with the meeting
OF the national committee, which is
overwhelmingly for Taft, genuine
politics will be played. Hitchcock s
| old steam roller will give way to
the suit of iron, padlocked and the
key in the possession Of Taft mana
gers
The Taft people, too, are to wake
up. They have been gong easy, sat
ished with an Improvement in the
| situation as to the president. But
+tnoy are now going to meet agrees
sion, loyalty with loyalty, issue with
issue. They are going to fight in the
I primaries and in the conventions.
They look for big rise in Roose-
J Welt stock in the next month or SO.
The Roosevelt bulls will rush to the
political stock market and then the
bears will take hold and It VIII be
up and down until the market stead
les along toward convention time.
Point to California.
The Taft people today called at
tention to the statement from Cali
fornia that Governor Hiram John
son, the LaFollette leader there, has
come out for statewide primary
select delegates to the national con-
vention. They say this is distinct
acknowledgment Of Taft sentiment
in the state. The Taft people claim
! hey will get every delegate.
"The Taft claims are also strona
as to North Dakota and other states
where delegates will be elected early
by the primary plan. North Dakota
has been regarded as one Of the Ger.
tain LaFollette %tates, but when the
| president was in the northwest {
short while ago, he and his friends
heard many encouraging things.
Representative Martin, Of South
Dakota, another alleged insurgen
state, has come out fatAfooted fol
Taft, and will aid in the fight fol
Taft delegates. Senator Gamble, Of
South Dakota, has been for Presi
dent Taft for a long time. Senator
Crawford, Of the same state. is ou
for LaFollette, and the state leaders
generally are about evenly divided

Never Before Have So Many
 Polar Bears Been Seen.

The strange, savage and beau tiful living wonders of the Ma. tural Kingdom have never been so comprehensively exhibited as they now are in the United Carl Hagenbeck and Great Wallace Shows enormous menageries, and will be shown here on Sat- urday.
 The latest addition to the rare wild beast wonders is a whole Artic menagerie which actually includes ten living, full-groWn Polar Bears greater number than even any explorer ever saw together at one time. Even the Ice Trust would vince at the cost and trouble involved in se- curing such a cold water con- gross. Moreover the entire col
 lection is a rarely splendid one, educated to do all kinds of stunts, including walking rope, sliding the toboggan, walking on
 a globe, and other feats. The collection is full of interest and instruction, merits your atten- tion, and the management hopes will receive it. The circus and
 hippodrome performances do
 not begin until an hour after the
 opening of the menagerie doors i; and at their conclusion you will have another chance to study lthese geological treasures. Plen- Ity of seats are provided for all
 in the huge hippodrome tent, so
 don't rush blindly to secure one.
