De EMOCRATS ANXIOUS
OVER TAFT MESSAGE
Political Possibilities Are
Foreseen In the Extra
Session.

Democratic leaders are not a little
concerned over the forthcoming message
which President Taft will send to Con-
gress. This promises to be an interest
ing and striking document, and one
charged with all sorts of political possi-
bilities.
President Taft, under the advice of
some of the best politicians about him,
is expected to send in a message which
will give the Democrats scant comfort,
and which will make It difficult for
them TO gather credit from the revision
OF certain schedules in the extra ses-
sion or from progressive legislation
along other lines which they may
undertake later.
The President is being urged to de-
mand revision of the cotton and woolen
schedules, and ask their revision at
once. In addition, of course, he will
strongly urge reciprocity, and he may
deem 1t expedient to touch in, broad
way on a comprehensive progressive
program Of legislation to be taken up
by this Congress.
II the President does this there will
be loud outcries from Democratic quart
ers about an effort to steal Democratic
thunder The men advising the Presf-
dent to take this course are perfectly
aware of this. AS a matter of fact, the
situation has resolved itself into a great
political game with the stakes the re-
suits Of the 1912 elections.
Mr. Taft Is out after the Presidency
again, and Is showing signs Of playing
better politics than he has ever done
This fact is putting the Democratic
leaders on their mettle. The recent
resignation of Secretary Ballinger and
the appointment to his place of one Of
is one OF the signs OF a new order of
things at the White House. and this is
preliminary to other moves calculated
10 rehabilitate the President in the eyes
OF those independent voters whom he
has at various times in the past

On His Way to Atlanta

Colonel Roosevelt, bound out of New
York for the southern Commercial Con-
gress, in Atlanta. spent few minutes
in Washington yesterday afternoon He
said that he was glad to be back In
Washington. though his gladness was
unable to overcome the limitations OF
time and railway schedule and he did
not leave the railway station.
Colonel Roosevelt declined to discuss
the mobilization of troops on the Mexi-
can border or any other public matters.
He asserted, however, that Congress
ought to make an appropriation for the
proper mounting of the specimens of
wild animals that he had collected in
Africa and given to the Smithsonian
Institution.
One Of the principal speeches at the
congress will be delivered by Colonel
Roosevelt.

WINNING A NAME.
The Incident That Crowned Mir. Kelly
 as Honest John"

There have been many stories about the manner In which Honest John" Kelly, the ex-umpire, first got his nick name. MT. Kelly himself, according to a New York letter, holds that 1t came to him naturally, for even as a small boy the purity of his soul shone through his face.
 T think the first time I was ever called Honest John was when l was quite a youngster," said Kelly. "A man engaged as an ambulatory sales man of tinware observed the ingenious countenance l presented to the world and hailed me. You look honest, boy.' said ha What might your name beT
 "'John.' said I. quite simply-'John' lust like that. Then hold my horse while I go in the saloon and get a drink. said he. And so I held his got a drink.
 But this was on lower Ninth ave nue, in a day when the avenues hon. DTS went to the man who could clean up the most cops in given time. By and by the gang came along and be- held that wagon full of tinware. The peddler was detained within by sore thirst. and they took the tinware. and then they came back and took the cushions off the wagon. Eventually. becoming daring. they unhitched the wagon and took 1t away.
 "True to my trust. l stood there, holding the horse. And by and by the peddler came out of the saloon and sized up the situation. We'll said he warmly, you're Honest John, all right. You saved the horse.
