MT. Taft to Run in 1912

The best observers of current events predict that Mr. Taft will be the republican leader in 1912 despite the fact that MT. LaFollette and his insurgent associates do not like him, and despite the fact that Lorimer is striving to nominate a more out spoken reactionary. Even if Lori mer controls the Illinois delegation and LaFollette controls Wisconsin, California, Nebraska, Oregon and parts of three or four other states, enough delegates will be left to hand second nomination to MT. Taft, and he will stand squarely on the Aldrich tariff.
 It is already pretty well settled
 that the referees in the south will
 hand over to him the entire delega-
 tions of fifteen states, and in addi-
 tion he has practically secured the
 delegations of New England, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Del aware and Ohio. The bargain in his favor in these states stands complete, and it is based on a support of the Aldrich tariff. The battle over that instrument is really yet to come. The appointment of Henry L. Stimson as Secretary of War and of Walter L. Fisher as Secretary of the Interior were both political, and no one will now support more heartily MT. Taft for President in 1912 than Colonel Roosevelt. The Aldrich tariff is un- popular, but it will bring to the aid of the President an immense cam paign fund, and he hopes that null duplication of antitrust suits and the reciprocity agreement, and the tariff board and the corporation tax and the postal savings bank will overcome to some extent that unpopularity. MT. Underwood is, however, planning to make plain the difference between an Aldrich tariff and revenue tariff that has an eye single to ultimate consumers.

THE LONELY LIONEss
from Publishers Notes.

From PuD1SneTS NOteS.
 All day long a lonely lioness crouches unmoving on a shelf in It's den at tho Bronx zoo. New York, looking at poor little fresco of tiny palm trees big steak lies untouched on the floor. for the lioness will not come down to endure the gapes of the crowd which is always there exclaiming that this is the very lioness "Buffalo'' Jones lassoed in Africa.
 Late at night, when only the watchman is about, the lioness sinks down, seizes the steak and vaults back. It is always resentful, remembering the day of tho chase. the snarling dogs. the fearful heat on the dry donga, the shouts and fire crackers that drove 1t from rock crevices. and the wiry, quiet man, the Yankee plainsman, with the ready lariat- Colonel Buffalo" Jones. Time and again the rope slipped over the lioness big neck and small sleek tawny head, but at last it was roped and @ied.
 Now that book about the lioness has been written, perhaps it will feel the lure of notoriety and be friendly. The book is Guy sculrs "Lassoing Wild Animals" an account of "Bunalo' Jones' Ahintihg trip in Africa; of 4ong treks through the bar ren lands, of the lassoing of giraffes. hartebeests, and finally Q huge rhino and this lioness. The book. which is published by Stokes this month. is elaboretely H. Illustrated with photographs of the actual roping of the great bea1s.

Condition of the State Treasury

The O'Neal administration will be
 embarrassed to the end of it's term by
 the Conner deficit, unless steps are
 taken to secure more revenue or to
 issue more bonds. State Treasurer
 Purifoy estimates that the state will
 need one million dollars more than 1t
 will receive by January 1 next. Even l if all appropriations are withheld that
 can be withheld that sum will be
 needed in the present calendar year, and Governor O'Neal can borrow but
 $500, 900.
 Where. is the rest of the money coming from? This will become very interesting question when the last half of the year begins to slip by.
 Some think an extra session to con- sider the condition of the treasury and to reapportion the legislative, congressional and judicial districts of the state will be the outcome. Thus far the governor has not idicated what plan he will adopt The sub ject will certainly demand considera- ton as July approaches, for some thing over $7O0,000 will be needed on July 1 to meet numerous payments. A temporary loan of $300,000 would not be sufficient. A larger sum will be needed at that time, and we will then perhaps know how the governor to handle an increasing de- ficit. It should be remembered that the states income before January 1 will be small, while the demands upon the state treasury will be large. The problem in hand is to carry the state safely to January when large sums | will come in from every county.

TOMB IN A GLASS CASE

Washington Correspondent Boston Ad-
 vertiser.
 Perhaps it is only the very rich that can lie dead in glass case, but that IS in fact the manner in which the tomb is being shown and preserved of Levi Zieg- Ter Letter, the Chicago millionaire, who lies buried in Rock Creek cemetery, not far away from the celebrated St. Gaudens figure in the Adams plot.
 Art, too, has been enlisted to provide a beautiful sarcophagus for Letter, but it is of a different type than that which St. Gaudens provided and not for moment comparable to it. The Letter memorial is Italian, in which the oides of the sarco- phagus of the finest white marble are highly sculptured in relief and topped by a large slab of green onyx. The whole is incased in glass, evon the top being in glass gabled in form. It would seem that the desire is to protect the monument from the effects of the weather and. judging from the worn appearance of the onyx, if this has not already served with It's cross a part of the sareophagus of some Italian nobleman, the Washington weather has quickly begun to play havoc with it and consequently 1t had to be pros tected. Letter died in 19O0

Band Concerts

The open-air concerts last summer gave so much pleasure that it should be comparatively easy to raise fund by subscription again this year and have series of band concerts during ten or twelve weeks of the warm weather period. The Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, the Tennessee company, and few other corporations made the concerts possible year ago. There were a number of small subscriptions, and the city supplemented the fund by an appropriation of $500.
 As the municipal commission prac- tices rigid economy and is retrench- ing in every direction it did not see it's way clear to make an appropria- tion this year, but if considerable percentage of the thousands who en- joyce he music in 'the parks last summer would contribute small sums, say from S1 to $5, the total of such subscriptions would go a long way toward paying band of twenty or twenty-five pieces. There is scracely a city of the 100000 population class that does not have open-air music throughout the summer. In most cases the city employs the musicians. In year or two Birmingham will doubtless be in position to appro- priate S3000 or S4000, but in view of the present situation the only way we can have the music this summer is for the corporations and individuals to respond promptly. There is nc time to be lost. Whatever is to be done must be done within the next week Vr ton days. sss
