POLITICAL NEWS.

The movement among progressive
Democrats to prevent the nomination
Of Judson Harmon of Ohio for tho
presidency next year is taking tangf-
BILE form. Under the leadership of
such ~progressives as Senator Owen of
Oklahoma a definite movement has
been started for the organization OF
the progressive Democrats Of the en-
tire country into a cohesive body to
national convention next year.
William Jennings Bryan, in an in
terview at Aurora. ILL.,. listed the men
whom he believed qualified to lead
the Democratic party in its next pres
idential campaign and Governor Har-
mon of Ohio was omitted. Mr.. Bryan
named four men whom he believed
"available"- Speaker Champ Clark.
Governor Woodrow Wilson Of New
Jersey, former Governor Folk of Mis-
souri, and Governor Marshall ON In
diana.
Clifford Pinchot, former chief for
ester in the department of agriculture,
who stopped on in st. Paul on his
way to Alaska. were ne purposes to
get first hand knowledge OF that coun-
try's resources, came out in words of
strong praise for Senator La Toilette
and made it plain that he favors the
Wisconsin III for president In pref
erence to Mr.. Taft.
Denouncing as tariff for politics
only" framed by an unnatural al
lance" the work Of the Democrats
and Republican progressives in the
session of congress Just closed, Presi-
dent Taft spoke before the Essex
County Republican club al the formal
launching of the state campaign at
Hamilton, Mass.
So far as President Taft himself ts
concerned the tariff will be the main
issue Of the 1912 campaign. While
the president will speak on many sub
jects on his Western trip 1t is certain
now that tariff revision will receive
most Ut his attention.
A poll Of the house and senate shows
President Taft to be In the lead -

idential nomination. while Harmon
was the first choice Of the Democratic.

~An interesting dispatch comes
from Washington, to the effect
that the democratic leaders in
congress have concluded that the
sentiment in favor of taking the
appointment of committees from
the speaker rs too strong to be
ignored" This is good news.
They are right; the sentiment is
entirely too strong to be ignored
and they should not want to ig-
more. 1t is no reflection on the
speaker to be elected to take this
power from hint is a favor to
him. It will not only give Mr..
Clark a distinguished place in
history, but it will enable him to
avoid the abuses that cloud the
career of Speaker Cannon.

A Step Toward Arbitration.

The international court is a
step toward arbitration and that
is a step in the right direction,
but the longest step will be taken
when our nation announces, as it
should announce, its willingness
to enter into agreements with
other nations stipulating that all
controversies that defy diplomat
ic settlement shall be submitted
to an impartial international tri-
bunal for investigation and re-
port before any declaration of
war or commencement of HOSTILE
ties.

WRECKERS SAID
 ID BE DESTROYED.

Cleveland, O.. November 26.-A dispatch . copied at the headquarters office tonight reports the destruction of six wreckers' that were standing by the Prinz Joachim which went ashore on the 22d off the rocks at Atwood bay. The information was conveyed in a message from the Prinz Joachim.
 While the cargo was being jettsoned swarm of wreckers lay about watching an opportunity, according to custom, to-. salvage any part of it. A chance came when three boats almost simultaneously espied floating box. They made for it with all haste When the three boats each containing two men reached the box there was sharp struggle to see which should get it aboard. Watchers ! aboard the ship then saw tile water thrown high in the air by an explosion Thereafter nothing was seen of the boats except splintered wreckage, nor was there any trace of the men. 2tta
 For sa time the other 2wreckers and those aboard the steamer did not guess {. what had happened. Their surmse was thatya revenue cutter had thrown shell - at the wreclSers. The wireless message from the ship was addressed to this city

Will Roosevelt Run?

Philadelphia, November 26.-The North American publishes today what it terms ''an authoritative statement of Colonel Roosevelt's position with reference to the republican nomination and the campaign for the Presidency in 1912.
 The statement is reteration of the former Presidents declaration of several months ago in which he made it plain that he would not be candidate in 1912; neither would he lend his aid to any pros pective candidate.
 The paper says that the statement was made no more than three days ago by Colonel Roosevelt It says:
 Colonel Roosevelt will not support any man for the nomination in 1912, neither MT. Taft nor any one else.s He never gave MT. Taft any pledge or of fer of support, nor did MT. Taft eyer have such an impression.
 "As to himself Colonel Roosevelt is not candidate nor has he been at any time. He has repeatedly discouraged suggestions of this nature not only from sincere friends, but from potential political leaders who, for one reason or another, desire to use his name and he has emphatically refused pledges of active support, even delivery of delo- gateS.'

AUTO ACCIDENT
 KILLS STRANGER

Paterson, N. J., November 26.-The death was announced tonight of a woman who was brought to the general hospital here a week ago unconscious from m juries received in a mysterious automo- bile accident near Lincoln Park. The mystery that first shrouded her identity has only been partially cleared by statement made at the hospital that she was Mrs. William Whitney. The womans colthes and jewels bespoke wealth and man who brought her to the hospital or- dered that everything be done for her re- gardless of expense.
 It was said that it was MT. Whitney that brought her to the hospital but neither he nor other relatives appeared after this to see her. At 8 New York hotel it was learned that MT. and Mrs. William Whitney said to have come from Alameda, Cal, had taken an expensive suite there, but nothing had been seen of Mrs. Whitney since the accident, and MT. Whitney also had not been at the hotel for several days.

EFFORT TODR|VE
 OUT CATTLE TICK
Cotton Seed Crushers' AssO- citation May Hold Session
 at Early Date

Atlanta, November 26.-(SpeciaD
 F. IT. Nighbert of the United States de-
 partment of agriculture in charge of the
 cattle tick eradication work In the states
 of Georgia and South Carolina has asked
 Secretary P. D. McCarley of the cotton
 Seed Crushers association of Georgia for
 a conference with the special committee of that organization, with view to se- curing their cooperation in the fight being. waged to drive the tick out of
 this state. Secretary McCarley will get this committee together at an early date The cattle tick, which communicates Texas fever, is the greatest menace 10 live stock raising known to the south, and the crushers are the greatest adVo- cates of cattle raising, dalrylng ana the like in the south. Hence it is natural that this cooperation should be sought and granted. Prof. Nighbert will explain to this committee the process by which cattle can be rid of the tick.
 This is brought about by building a dipping vat, at cost of from S25 to $50 in which is put standard ar senical solution and into this all cat tie infected with the tick is dipped once every two weeks for 15 times. This kills off all tick. Any new cat tie added to that already freed is dipped in the same way, and in this way an entire farm may be rid of the tick. The tick is most prevalent in southern states and sister states have quaran- tined against Georgia until the tick is destroyed. With the tick on cattle they cannot develop normally and many die from Texas fever. There are at pres ent only six counties in Georgia freed of the tick With cotton seed meal, the best and most inexpensive cattle feed obtainable at hand, the plasters are turning to cattle raising as a, profitable and advantageous industry. The eXter- imitation of the tick Is the most press ing need of this industry in Georgia. The results of this conference will be awaited with interest.

Your Thinking

How often do you think?
 Why" you say.."I think practically all the time except when am asleep. If so you are a rare person. Most of us do not really think very often or very much. We only think we think.
 Most of us let our minds drift We give very little time to genuine reflection upon things that are worth while. t For instance
 You drive along a country road. One
 moment you think of your horse, and the
 next rabbit lopes across the way and interrupts your train of thought You get started when you meet a neighbor who. suggests something else. And so on. You may put in an entire day in that sort of mental drifting and do scarcely any think ing s' Or ta ,l You are in trolley car and look out the window. Your mind goes scurrying to keep up with the kaleidoscopic changes of the street scenes. My, that auto just missed the carl There goes MT. so-and- so Such a noisy newsboy! How very warm 1t is' ssJ -,r Do you see? -e Your thoughts have drfted as boat,
 unattended, goes down the stream You have not been thinking at all, only dreaming. The wheels of your mental machinery have gone round, but no grist is turned out .. Real thinking requires concentration and continued mental effort. You shut your minds eye to things about you-the subconscious mind being
 on guard-and think and think. ? q " The way to think is to think. You hold your faculties to one thing. If you hold them long enough from some where-I know not where, do you?--fro,n
 somewhere, there come to you thoughts that are worth while. .- So that If you want to do some real thinking you must be careful your mind does not skip around the corner at some outside suggestion N' If it does go thus scampering take it bx
 the scruff of the neck and the slack of the brooches and bring 1t back. F Bring it back seventy times seven, if necessary. or until you can make 1t do some thinking for you.

Wrote of Scenery He Never Saw

From the London Chronicle.
 The most notable instance of a novel dealing with a country which the author had never seen was Shorthouse's John Igglesant."
 The second volume of that remarkable romance deals in the most detailed way with Italian manners and Italian scenery. Many of the descriptions, that of Umbria at night for instance, and the scene in the pavilion in the forest-are charged with the very atmosphere of Italy; and Florence during the plague lives horribly before our eyes. Yet Joseph Henry Short house had never been in Italy. Enthu- siasm. and the genius for assimilation evolved it all in a quiet house at Edgbas- ton.
