THE ROOSEVELT BOOM GROW
ING.

The impression that Colonel Roose-
Welt would not refuse the Republican
nomination for the Presidency seems
to be gaining strength. The Repub-
lican party, or great many of its
members, begins to despair OF the
recollection OF Mr.. Taft and is turning
to Roosevelt as the only alternative
TO Democratic president. II IS the
theory that the convention can be
stamDedcu to Roosevelt and tho nom
! nation. coming to him as the IMAM
imous action of the party and pressed
upon him for its salvation, would
not be and could not be declined
Then, according to the theory OF the
progressive element of the party, all
would be over but the shouting. The
election. they believe, would be a
walkover. They arc satisfied that
Mr.. Roosevelt would unite all the
diverse elements of the Grand Old
Party; that the New Nationalist
would hail him as their leader and
lawgivcr; that the West would take
him rs great insnrgcnt; that the
trusts would look upon him as their
dclivcrcr, and the standpatters would
sing hosannahs to him; that the
trust busters would subscribe money
to his campaign fund. All this may
happen. for the day Of political mir
acles may not have passed away.
H there arc still some things to
be taken into the accounJ. The
Presidential nomination is usually
made by machinery, and Mr.. Taft has
his hands upon the throttle of the
machine. with Hitchcock and other
ablc-bodied machiniSts and grcascrs
oiling the bearings. Possibly this
machine might run over the Colonel
and his supporters and flatten them
out. Another thing to be considered
is the attitude Of President Taft $
friends in case of his rejection. Ac-
cording to party usage, Mr. TAFT Is
entitled to the nomination. Mr.. Har-
rison was renGminatcd as a matte.
of course, although tho prospects OF
his reelection were no brighter
than the present prospect OF Mr..
n, ri nj
has charming personality. and he
has a great host Of devoted friends.
How would they take his rejection:
How would the State of Ohio look
upon il? Doubtless these things
will be we'll considered by the adroit
leaders of the Grand Old Party be-
fore they permit the convention tC
be stampedcd.

PUckERLEss PERsIMMoNs.

Apparently the scientists cannot be
prevented from robbing us of all our
cherished traditions and privileges.
After having upset about everything
else in the world they have now dis.
covered way of taking the quicker
out of tho persimmon, although why
they should have thought this neces'
sary no one seems to know. The sci
entists clearly are interfering with
law of nature and also robbing life OF
one Of it's sources OF Joy. There are
few more mirth-provoking things in
the world than watching the uniniti-
ated attempting to eat green persim-
mon. The pucker of the persimmon
comes from tannic acid and we fail to
see what the scientists are going TO
accomplish by removing tannin from
the persimmon. One might as well eat
a cucumber and be done with 1t. Inc
danger in the discovery is the harm
1t may do to the persimmon in lne
later stage Of its development. 10"
do the scientists know that nature did
not put the tannic acid into the per-
simmon as one Of the elements that'

Tree to be Spared.

Pierre, S. D., Feb. I7.---On the
first Arbor day after the organiza-
ton of the state Governor A. C.
Mellette and wife planted tree on
the statehouse grounds, it being
the first tree on the tract. Now
that the grading of the grounds re-
quires the removal of the trees
planted at that time, the Woman 5
club of this city has taken up til,
matter of the preservation of thai
particular ash tree. 1t has adopted
a resolution petitioning the capitol
commission to allow the tree to
stand where it was planted by Nj.
and Mrs. Mellette. and it proposes
to place upon it a suitable nlarke
to show when and by whom it was
planted.

Triumph of a New Idea.

About the quantity of reading
matter furnished in the average
Sunday newspaper there is no rea
son to complain, unless it be on the
score of too-muchness, but the quail
ity often leaves much to be desired.
The only shining and unqualified
exception to this rule is found in the
Sunday magazine Of the Chicago
Record Herald. There is nothing
else like it in the whole range of
American journalism. 1t is a real
magazine that is regularly issued as
a part Of the Sunday paper. 1t is
filled with frst-class fiction. able
articles, choice pictures and wide
range OF good miscellany, all b.
popular or famous authors and ar
fists. When writers such as Conan
Doyle, Anthony Hope, Rudyard
Kipllng, Jack London, Seweli Ford
Cyrus Townsend Brady and Roy
Norton are counted among the
contributors to a Sunday paper its
triumph can not be doubted.
The Sunday Magazine of the
Record-Herald is far and away the
best literary treat offered to news
paper readers in the United States
today. The largest month.ies and
independent weeklies cannot sur.
pass it in quality or sustained in
.erest. You will always find one
Of the finest serials of the year in
its pages, often captured from the
big monthlies at record prices. Its
short stories, including those of the
deltctable Shorty McCabe, can't
be surpassed.

FOREIGN OWNERS OF LAND
Are Not Allowed In State Of Okiaho-
ma-Some States Limit an
Aliens Holdings.

Several states of the Union spe-
officially prohibit foreigners from
owning land within their borders.
In Oklahoma it is prohibited alto
gether. Other states allow natural
lied aliens TO own land and those
who have declared their intention to
become so.
This is also the law in the Dis
trict of Columbia. Nevada makes
no restrictions as to foreigners ex-
cept Chinese, who are not permitted
to own land in that state. Some of
the states, including Indiana and
Iowa. limit the amount of land an
alien may own to $50 acres.
In South Carolina the limit is 500
acres and in Pennsylvania 5000. In
New York and Texas the laws are
similar in their effect to the law re-
Gently passed by the japanese diet.
This law restricts the ownership of
land in Japan to such foreigners as
come from a country which extends
similar privileges to Japanese resi-
dents, says Case and Comment. The
operation of the japanese alien land
ownership law, it is said. will not
materially change the status of
Americans in Japan in the matter

REASON WOMEN WEAR OUT
Through Mistaken Idea Of Duty She
Works on With Rare Periods
Of Relaxation.

Why do some women grow old
and others keep the secret of perpet-
ual youth? Here is one answer:
One reason why the average wom-
an wears out, grows plain before her
husband, is that, through a mistaken
idea of duty, she lays out for herself
at the beginning of her married life
a scheme or plan of duty and en-
ployment for her time, every hour
filled with work. with rare and short
periods of relaxation.
This she follows religiously for
years. feeling that she has done her
duty, because every household event
occurs regularly and on time, while
she soon becomes merely a machine,
a thing without life Of itself or vo-
litlon. She settles into rut and
goes round and round on the same
track everlastingly.
Can any woman keep brightness.
originality of thought or speech, or
even mere prettiness with such a
life? And without those things
how can she keep her husband and
growing children full of loving ad-
miration, which is tie strong chain
by which she can bind them to her?
How bright and Jolly the neighbours
wife seems when she calls. In nine
cases out of ten it is because the
surroundings and talk Of your home
are variety to her, and rouse her to
originality and brightness Of speech.
Cultivate broad attitude toward
the world and its people. Let your
interests be far-reaching, and there
will be renewed vigor when it comes
to solve the problem of the home.

LOVE THAT FAILED.

For ten long but blissful wears
they had walked along the path of
love; but as yet the lovesick youth
had never mentioned about their
getting married. Courtship is very
charming, but when there does not
seem to be altar-rails at the end of
it girls naturally begin TO lose inter-
est in the game. Anyhow, Jane
thought it time that the marriage
day was fixed, SO she threw out a
gentle hint to her lover by way of
encouraging him. That, she thought.

married soon."
