lican opponents in the primary. He is
Charles E. Merriam.
The name Of Carter II. Harrison is
known to every voter in Chicago. but
no one. it is said, knows Carter Fl.
Harrison. Inscrutabiiity seems to be
this mans predominating trait, and
those who know him best are the first
to call attention to the fact
Harrison is a unique figure in Chi
cago politics. For four terms, from
1897 to 1905. he wore his fathers
hat" succeeding the elder Harrison in
the chair that he relinquished only
when he was shot down by the aSsas-
sin Prendergast
Harrison was born in Chicago in
1860. When he was thirteen he was
sent abroad TO study German. and for
nearly four years he lived in Hedel-
berg and Altenberg. To this day he
sings the old German songs.
Merriam the Scholar.
Professor Merriam. the slender
scholar with the boyish face. doesn't
object in the least to being dubbed
politician He believes in reform-in
whole lOt of reforms should anybody
ask you-but he isn't in the way of
trying TO bring them about by ranting
and writing letters of protest
Merriam calls himself young man.
He was born in Hopkinton. Ia. in
1874, got all the college and university
degrees he could accumulate at Lenox
college. the state University Of Iowa
and Columbia university and then
spent two years in Berlin and Paris
brushing up on some of the things he
thought he didn't know. Immediately
thereafter. in 1900. he Joined the fac
uity OF the University of Chicago and
has been there ever since In the de-
partnent of political science.
Not being busy enough at the uni
versity, Professor Merriam has gone
into civic matters a good deal.

successful in modern history.
The bank was next to a police sta

watchman entered the bank at five

OFF ON TRIP
OF $4,000 MILES
President Taft Left Beverly Today on
His Second Swing Around
the Circle Of
States.
WILL VISIT "a STATES
Promises to be the Most Important
Trip Ever Made by President
According to
Politicians.

BEVERLY, Mass. Sept. 15.-Presi-
dent Taft left Beverly today on his
second swing around the circle. In
the opinion of many of his friends the
trip promises TO be one of the most
important ever undertaken by a chief
executive That the Presidents po-
litical fortunes depend to some extent
on this journey is agreed on by many
men close to the administration.
On the list of speeches for the 49,
600 mile journey the president has
set down "the tariff" and 1.-THE tariff
board" as two subjects for set ad-
dresses. 1t is probable his vetoes Of
the wool bill, the cotton bill and the
farmers free list bill will be dealt
with in the two general addresses.
The tariff may prove after all the
leading topic, although this is not the
presidents plan.
Other subjects to be given consid-
Grafton include reciprocity, conserva-
ton, the peace treaties, marriage ard
divorce, the trust problem, financial
reform, the Panama canal, reform in
judicial procedure, Alaska and the
gos ernment departments. The presi-
dent contemplates spending most of
his speaking hours IN talking of the
less political subjects. Doubt that he
will be able to follow such program
has been expressed in some quarters
! already.
Twenty-four states will be visited
/ and in eighteen the president will
4 speak. In Kansas. Nebraska, Iowa
! Missouri, Montana, Idaho. California
Oregon, Washington, South Dakota
Minnesota and Wisconsin, he will
spend many of his busiest days.
These states are labeled "insurg
ent" by those who keep the politica
books. New York, Colorado, Wyom
4 ing, Utah, Illinois and Pennsylvania
will not be sighted, but in those
states the president will not have te
work so hard. The same politica
bookkeepers credit them to the "pro
gressive' wing of the republican
party. Michigan, which has beer
called Taft insurgent," will get {
lot of the presidents attention.

ARE WATCHING
THE NEW COMET
Was Discovered Month Ago But Min
nesota Astronomer Has Just
Sighted It,

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. t5.-Brooks'
comet, the CELESTIAL stranger sighted
by Prof. F. P. Leayenworth of the de.
partment of astronomy at the state
university Monday night is being
made the subject of close watch by
the university scientists and an effort
will be made to photograph it. The
comet which will never be visible
again, was discovered by a New York
scientist, Brooks, about month ago.
Prof. Leavenworth stated last night
that the comet is at the head of the
dragon in the northwestern sky near
the pole star. 1t appears star-like
mist to the naked eye. But with the
aid of an opera glass, the head which
is two or three times larger than a
star, is quite visible.
The comet, according to Prof. Leav
enworth, is ten times brighter than
it was expected to be. The celestial
wanderer changes its astronomical
position about twelve minutes OF de
gree each day. and is about 100000
miles from the earth.
1--WE will photograph the comet al
the first possible opportunity" SAID
Prof. I,eavenworth last night. Clouds
have bothered us some, but we expect
to get some good pictures. l cannot
tell how long the comet will be Wis
ible at this point"
