Chicago and Baltimore.

They DO say" Chicago has the cali
on the republican national convention.
The national committee at its meeting
here next month will decide the question.
No spirited contest has taken place, and
predictions as to the Windy city are
based on her ability TO properly care for
the body. She's got the hall, she's got
the room, and got the hotels. too.
Well. If the convention is held there no
candidate will be favored by the choice.
The Presidents home is near. So is Mr..
La Follettes. and Iowa, where Mr.. Cum
minis lives and has his being, is neighbor.
What is called insurgency is strong in the
middle territory, as also are the con-
servatives. Chicago would afford a fair
field for tussle over both platforms and
candidates
Such a field, there or elsewhere, should
be provided. for whether insurgency ap-
pears on the scene strong or weak 1t
should have an honest hearing. Later
will come the necessity for union at the
polls. What is done by the convention
must be approved by united party. or
the chances of success will be slim. A
campaign made on the hope Of divisions In
the democratic party would be an exhibit
ton OF recklessness. One republican vote
in tho hand is worth two democratic
votes in the bush.
While Baltimore's chances for the demo-
cratic convention are considered good.

FAIRY TALES.

You never hear good stories now,
The dear. old fashioned kind:
These modern tales don't seem, somehow,
To satisfy the mind.
I wish some one would tell few
Like those we loved OF old;
The ONES we used TO think were true
The stories mother told.
When l was Just a little chap,
As soon as Ii was night
I'd climb up Into mothers lap
And she would hold me tight,
And tell Of fairies, giants and
OF warriors brave and bold
And pe'er have tales seemed half 80 grand
AS those that mother told.
Tale after tale she'd tell-and then,
When she would say she d done,
I'd always make her start again
And tel another one;
Until, at last, all tired out.
Ny eyes would lose their hold
On wakefulness-Td dream about
The tales that mother told.
Then, by and by, there'd come q knock
And she'd let father in;
And as she pointed at the clock,
He'd grin sickly grin;
His business kept him late, he ewcre,
And he'd explain and scold
Till mothers tales looked pale before
The stories father toldl

President Taft will send a special mes
sage to Congress, In which he will discuss
the high cost of living. Does he also feel
the burden? >ht
From the Boston Globe.

ginning now as matter of great impor-
lance, and still the country has recently
heard from him at length.

 MT. and Mrs. Loewith were taken to their home in this city, where they were reported this noon as getting along very nicely, no broken bones Or other serious injuries haying de- veloped.
 An examination of the car today showed that nothing was the matter with, the steering gear, but that the accident was caused by the high crown on the road at this spot, which has been the cause of innumerable auto mobile accidents.
 :. Another car, an Alec, bearing a short distance from the spot where the Loewiths car met its mishap. The cause was the same. The road is a sure death trap, the high crown throw ing the automobiles to one side and preventing the drivers from bringing them back to their course again.
