MAsoNs DISCUSSING
NETERER SUGGESTION

spokane, June 19.--Members Of the
Masonic order throughout the North
west are discussing the suggestion by
jeremiah Neterer of Bellingham, in his
annual address as grand master at the
fifty fourth session of the Grand Lodge
OF washington in Spokane, that each
attract the confidence of boy and
direct him into ways of right. It is
expected that most Of the IT'S lodges
in the state, with $500 members en-
rolled, will adopt the plan before the
year is ended.
Il believe that If such a movement
were launched by the Masons in this
Jurisdiction" Judge Neterer said, ''in-
tense would be the interest and great
would be the result and pleasure in
much constructive work in real char
acter building.
There exists necessity for whole
some influence and fraternal co-opera-
ton IN behalf of boys. The course of
conduct and treatment of many boys
at home and by the public should be
changed. Worthy examples should be
presented and wholesome sentiment
created. You can initiate plan which
Will properly direct and conserve the
energy and ambition of the boy.
The highest authorities are agreed
that nothing in the world so shapes a
boys soul and character as quiet talks
with grown men about things they live
for and amidst. In this way the boy is
aroused to think and do the very best
there is in him.
Make companion of some boy, be
big brother to him and have him
visit you; go to his home after the
labor of the day has closed and show
him he is part of the world and that
some one is interested in his welfare
direct MS mind in wholesome course
place designs for his Improvement up
on the trestleboard of life, and thus
bring his acts within the extended
points of the compass and yourself
nearer the throne of the eternal God"

,cosbington, D. c., June 19.-That
corator Robert NJ. LaFollette OF WIS
SIN sin will be a candidate for presi-
Sont next year has become positively
,awn His candidacy will be launch
uithin the next month. He and his
taolors intended to carry the war to
oront a denomination of President
william H. Taft into every state in the
Union.
Some days ago reports were circu-
1otod that certain senate progresslves
bod made up their minds not to sup
nort the Wisconsin senator.
since then. it is declared, the situa-
zion has cleared in some degree as to
iuct what the progressives will do. 1t
i declared on high authority that La
rollette will be supported by a ma
iortv of the progressives in congress.
Sentiment Now Shifting.
II is also said certain of the men
known as leading progressives through
ont the country who are now set down
as Taft supporters will be for La Fol
lette.
When La Follette's candidacy is an
nounced, it is asserted, there will be
some surprises, and that men of great
nolitical prominence will be found en-
listed, making his candidacy much
stronger than it has appeared at any
time heretofore.
In the senate discussion of reci-
procity and tariff revision, La Toilette
intends to take leading part.
Within a few days he will present a
bill for the reduction of the most i'm
portant of the tariff schedules-such as
wool, collon, sugar and iron and steel
He is prepared to make the fight of his
life for this legislation and for the
broadening out of the reciprocity
agreement-and doubtless he will be
beaten.
Taft Already Renominated.
He proposes then to go before the
country and run for president on this
issue among others.
The general view in Washington is
that President Taft is already as good
as renominated and his friends are so
confident of this that they are giving
attention to his reelection rather than
his denomination.
But the La Toilette supporters insist
there is another side to it. They point
out that five states had presidential
preference laws-Oregon, Nebraska,
New Jersey, North Dakota and Wis.
cOnsin.
They believe the expressions of
popular sentiment in the primaries be-
fore the national convention in these
states will be SO strongly anti-Taft
that the movement for the renomina-
ton of the president will be seriously
checked.

OF q decade ago when he was but .
septuagenarian and less matured
than the present day.
Mr.. Davis is now living in retire
ment at his home in Peoria county

perience as a wheelman. He was 81
years Of age when the craze for bicy-
cles swept over the country. He BE-
came intensely interested and invest

mammoth wheel in front and small
wheel behind. known as the "ordi-
naries." He made the switch to the
safety type as soon as the latter was
introduced and has ridden many ma
chimes since, running up mileage
close to 100000. greater than any 9th
er man Of his years.
At the age Of Is he had ridden 1907
900 miles and earned remarkable coli
lection of medals in various competi-
tons. The medal which he prizes tho
most was given to him by the Century
Road Club Of America for riding 5000
miles in 1902, more than any one per-
son in the United States. In 1895 he
covered 12.400 miles and was then
ninth on the list. The fact that he
was in the front rank in 1902 with t.
900 miles less. indicated the decline OF
the wheel as a medium of sport.
