"SUNNY JIM" MAY LAND THE
PRESIDENCY.

James Schoolcraft Sherman is not
only a candidate for reelection as
vice president of the United States,
but he has a good chance of becom-
ing president for four years from
March 4 next, without the consent of
the voters
There are 531 members of the
electoral college 1t will be necessary
for a candidate to receive 266 of
those votes to be elected president.
There is more than a possibility,
with Roosevelt, Taft and the Demo
cratic nominee in the race, that no
one will receive 266 votes. In tina,
event, under the constitution, the
house of representative as it would
exist next winter, would endeaWor to
choose the president. The delegation
from each state would as unite, cas-,
one vote.
Twenty-Five states are represented
in the house by Democratic delega-
tiOnS. Twenty three are Represented
by Republican delegations Three
delegations are evenly divided If
the Republican delegations should I'M
lite on one candidate, he would have
twenty-three votes. But the consti-
tuition requires that the votes of a
majority of all the states shall be
necessary to a choice by the house
Twenty five states are, therefore,
necessary to elect.
The constitution also provides that
if the house of representatives fails
to choose a president before March
4, the vice president shall become
president
The elections of congressman next
November will have no. bearing on
the choice of the president by the
house of representatives The repres-
entativeS now i'm office, whose terms
will not expire until March 4, next,
are the ones to make the choice if
the electoral college should fail ito
do so-they and those who might
be elected to succeed any of them
for unexpired terms.
The Taft-Roosevelt split makes it
not improbable that the election, for
the first time since 1900, will be
thrown into the house of representa-
tiveS.

A NEW RURAL AVOCATION.

A new profession has recently
extensive advertising of the large
powder companies. 1t is agricultural
blasting. Dynamite has been ex-
tensively used for number of years
for clearing land of stumps and
houlders. In very recent years it has
been discovered that lit is also an eff
fective and economic agency for the
construction of bitches, i'm the drain
ing of swamps, for the planting OF
trees, the rejuvenation of rundown
orchards, the regeneration of partial
ly exhausted soils and the subsoil-
ing of ground mderlaid with hardpan
and compact soils that render it less
productive than it otherwise could be
made.
The Western Empire says that i,
is surprising what demand there i
among farmers and fruit growers fol
the services of agricultural blastere;
The powder company which firGt
wakened an interest in the use {
dynamite in agricultural work r
ceives on an average more than So
inquiries per day from tanners ask
ing enlightenment on the subject TIL
company has a system of referr
these inquiries to independent blast
ers, who offer their services to tn
farmers interested. We are informe[
by the powder company that there
are not one-tenth enough blasterss
throughout the country to take care
of the profered work.
The use of dynamite in agricultur-
al pursuits is very simple and easily
learned. Subsoiling and tree plant
ing are the largest fields for exploita-
ton. These two classes of work are
so simple that man can learn to
handle them i'm an hour. The question
may be asked, eff it is so simple AZ
that, why would a farmer employ {
professional to do the work." Simply
because he is afraid ito use the dyna
mite himself. There is something il
the word itself that inspires terror
yet properly handled it is no more
dangerous than gun powder, blasting
powder, acetylene gas, gasoline, al
many other things which farmer
very commonly use, but which they
do not fear because they have be
come accustomed to them.

1t is the general policy of the gov
ernment to throw open the Indian
reservations as rapidly as cam be
done without bringing ruin to the
Indians. Wherever the Indians are
deemed sufficiently advanced to be
'assimilated," they are given indivi-
dual allotments, and their excess
land holdings pass into the hands of
white settlers. In most cases this
has not worked to the harm of the
Indian. 1t is pretty generally recog-
nized that the surest and best way t0
teach the average Indian to live the
white mans life is to give him white
neighbors. He can learn more prac-
tical things from such neighbors than
he can acquire i'm the best schools.

ATLANTA SOLDIER
BROWNS SELF IN
POND NEAR FORT

Hayden Thurman, private in the
Seventeenth regiment, enlisted from At
lanta, was found dead in a pond near
Fort Mcpherson late Saturday night.
The coroner's jury returned a verdict
of suicide by drowning.
Chaplain Durrant, of the regiment,
declares that most suicides among the
soldiers come in times Of peace when
the regiment is inactive for some time.
Two other soldiers in the same regi-
ment committed suicide several months
ago. Raymond A. Snyder and Arthur
Llewellyn ended their lives with car
bolic acid.
Thurman was but "a years of age
and had enlisted because of a desire
to see the world. He was unhappy when
assigned to the Seventeenth, stationed
nearest to Atlanta, and four months
ago attempted to commit suicide by
carbolic acid. A policeman prevented
him. He was an orphan and was rear
ed by William H. Tull, Of Oakland City
He joined the army two years ago.
The funeral will be held this after
noon at 2 o'clock at the chapel at Fort

lished and they were forced to stand
some distance away from the building.
The crowd was orderly In the extreme.
There was little of the shouting that
usually marks the crowds that greet
the colonel in Chicago. Instead those
who appeared were evidently either
drawn by curiosity or in an effort to
show their regard for the colonel with
out causing any undue excitement.
Several men whose appearance
aroused the suspicion of the police were
quietly escorted through the crowd and
told TO go. One OF these men is said
to be the principal of south side
school, who dehed police authority and
demanded a right to stand near the hos
pital He was unable to furnish proof
OF his identity.
Another man asserted that he was
correspondent for Philadelphia news

dentials and was put outside the lines.

of Lieutenant Edward Brady. Assist
ant Chief Herman Schuettler had made
the arrangements and was in personal
command of the plain clothes men who
formed the coloners bodyguard.

"All this work of mine" he said has

ward These funds look large in the

said:
Il am sorry that the Republican par
ty has not published its accounts and
that the Democratic party has also
failed to do so this year"
This remark nettled Senator Oliver,
who rebuked the witness and the re-
mark was withdrawn from the record.
Questioned about the 1912 pre-con-
vention campaign, Perkins said:
Il made contributions personally to
the Roosevelt pre- convention fight as
follows:
ITO the New York state committee,
$4,000, to r. H. Hooker, treasurer cf
the national fund, 500, 500; for work in

to different states, $1s,50O, and to Ed

This totaled $123,00O
DO you know of any other contribu-
tions?' asked Senator Clapp.

want to suggest that the line of inquiry
of this committee is making a very
erroneous impression on the public
mind. You bring different people here
and they testify to contributions which
are already included in the accounts of
national offices. 1t is worse than a
system of compound interest because
every fund is testified to perhaps two
or three times and the total of these
funds is far greater than the actual
amount of money received"
