Gratis are universally scared out OF
their boots by the prospect of Roose-
Yelt's nomination That constitutes an
unwilling tribute to. the coloneps
strength and availability, that can be
on the part Of his Republican support
ers.
When the Democrats are ready to con-
cede that Roosevelt's nomination means
counting Of his majority In November, 1t
makes Republicans cit up and take no
tice.
Conditions Are Reversed.
II Is revolution so startling az hard
ly to be recognized and estimated at its
full value. Six months ago Democrats
were supremely confident, and Repub-
licans were frankly admitting that de-
feat was their allotted portion. There
was no debating It; both sides accepted
the situation on that statement. 1t was
then assumed that Taft would be NOM
mated by the Republicans. and nobody
cared whom the Democrats named, the
result would be the same, anyhow.
Anybody will beat Taft" was the uni
versal statement OF a universal belief.
Today the situation is completely re-
versed. Such a topsey-turveying is
without precedent. Democrats have
taken over the Republican scare In full
force; Republicans have annexed the
entire stock Of confidence. Nobody can
beat Roosevelt, II he's nominated ts
now the all-round statement OF the case.

But let it be suddenly discovered that
those shares represented control OF Q
bonanza mine, and the creditors OF the

them. -'. y
Story In a Nutshell. -
That's the entire Republican story.
The Republican bank has discovered
that instead Of being busted" II has a
huge array of the very assets that the
political market Is clamoring for; and
the receivership at Chicago Is going to
be watched with the keenest concern.

put at Roosevelt headquarters today.
The Taft managers will not be much
behind the Roosevelt forces In perfect
ing their plans for the next stage Of
the fight. President Taft and his Con-
gressional advisers will take up the
same subject tonight or tomorrow. and
with the removal of the two headquar-
ters to Chicago at the close of the
week, the real and immediate prelimin-
aries to the convention will be on.

Whether this will be the program

Great injury has been done to the
lican national leaders in washington,
by the extreme utterances of Manager
Mckinley, of the Taft campaign. Mr.
Mckinley has made It plain that he ex-
poets to rely on the most extreme ma
chine tactics In the national commit

troll. His statements have been con-
strued as nothing less than direct
intimation Of purpose to start a riot,
call In police and militia, and in general
his faction doesn't have its way in all

Reaction Has Set In.
This sort Of talk from Mckinley. sup
plemented by the sinister threats Of
many reactionary leaders for months
past. that they would rather see the
party split and defeated than to have
Roosevelt nominated and elected. has
caused sharp reaction. Already 1t Is
known that in several Northern States.
where deleations have been secured Ia
whole or in part for Taft. the leaders
among the Taft element are viewing
the situation with utmost alarm. They
don't want the party split. and they

SCHEME WORTHY OF CHICAGO
Plans for Beautiful Park That VIII
Make 1t One of the Show Cities
of the Country.

A long stride toward the realization
of the Chicago Beautiful" plan was
made just before the close of the pas
year when, through the cooperation o
the city, the South Park commission
the Chicago Plan commission, and the
Illinois Central railroad, the people Of
Chicago regained control of the lake
front. The vexing problem of the loca
ton of the Field Museum of Natura
History was also solved, and the beau
tifui structure will be erected in a cen
trail location instead of in Jackson
Park, which is in the southern por.
ton of the city.
In the deal between the city, the
South Park commission, and the Hi
nois Central railroad, the city acquires
the riparian rights from Twelfth street
to Fifty-first street, affording opportu-
nifty for the creation of island parks
for miles along the shore. The plan
calls for the extension out into the
lake of the present shore line by fill
ing, and the making of narrow island
or strip of land about seven or eight
miles long, paralleling the shore line
from Grant Park to Jackson park,
about 400 feet out in the lake.
Between the extended shore line
and this outer strip of parks will be a
lagoon, approximately 400 feet wide,
providing q calm, comparatively safe
waterway for canoeing, INCORPORATING
and rowing. Channels, giving access
from the lagoon to the lake, will be
provided at intervals, viaducts will
connect the island parks and the shore,
two great pleasure piers, extending
half mile out into the lake, will be
constructed, and boulevard connect
ing Grant and Jackson parks, will be
built along the lake side of the outer
strip of land. Bathing beaches will be
constructed at various points, and the
island parks will be real Fairgrounds
for all of Chicago, where baseball, ten
mis- and all manner of outdoor sports
may be INDUCED in. All this will be
part of a chain of parks and boulc-
wards which will extend 20 miles along
the shores of Lake Michigan.
The Field Museum OF Natural Ills
tory, over which so much controversy
has been waged, due to the successful
fight made against it's location Ia
Grant Park, will be located on made
land Immediately east or lakeward of
the present Illinois Central railroad
depot, which depot is to be torn down
and a new one built facing north,
fronting on Twelfth street and abut-
ting on Michigan avenue. In this po-
sition the museum will overlook Grant
Park, looking north.
The made land required in this
scheme can be provided, at practically
no cost, at the rate of 100 acres a
year, by utilizing Chicago's waste ma
terial.

EFFECT OF GRASS ON TREES
Experiments Made in England Seem
to Have Shown That 1t Is
Injurious.

At the Woburn experimental fruit
farm a long inquiry has ben conduct
ed into the effect of grass on trees,
and the experiments which have been
carried out form the substance of the
thirteenth report of the farm, which
has just been issued.
1t has been shown that the general
result of grassing the ground, either
by sowing seed or replacing the turf
after the trees have been planted, is
the arrestation of all healthy growth
and the absolute stunting Of the
tree.
A light and unhealthy character i'm
parted to the leaves is one of the FIRST
noticeable results of the action of
grass upon trees. With trees that are
feeling the full effest of grass the
fruits are found to be small and ill
developed.
The variations in soil temperature
are less when the ground is grassed,
and this alone would be favorable to
the growth of trees; but this good in
luence is outweighed by the dele
ferrous effects.-London Daily Mail.

Mrs. Bruce put down the letter in a
flutter of excitement. Her face was
flushed with pleasure and her eyes
sparkled with anticipation. She hur-
ried to the telephone, but just as she
laid her hand ON the receiver she
changed her mind.
NO, I'll have the fun of telling Dick
face TO face" she said to herself.
The thought of his surprise and de-
light Quickened her feet on the stairs
as she ran to her room to dress for
the street. All the way downtown she
pictured her husbands amazement and
pleasure in the news she had for him.
She determined to make him guess a
few times before she told him.
1t was with some difficulty that she
modified the illumination Of her beam
ing face as she entered her husbands
Office. He must not suspect at first
that she was the bearer of such good
tidings. AS 1t happened, he was busy

therefore plenty of time to compose

Remedy for Quick Temper.

Nothing is SO disastrous as losing
ones temper. When you feel so tow.
ering, raging mad that you want to
fight some one, take yourself by your
collar or forelock and conduct your.
self to a place of quiet seclusion
There endeavor to discover within
your head some few grains of sound
sense upon which to dwell long and
thoughtfully. What's the good of los
ing ones temper? Lots of times you
hand people undeserved rebukes, and
then it is tremendous nuisance try
ing to forget how unkind you have
been.
Be patient. Be patient with the
faults of others and be patient with
your own. Take care of your health,
your morals, and your spiritual self.
Be above the sharp retort of the
thoughtless.
