 Mir. Stafford's Views
 ''I have heard that the question has arisen that the movement which is sweep ing the country looking to the conserva- ton of our homes our business houses and prosperity is a move to bring before the public and get the substitution of cer- tain classes of materials to the detriment of other materials. It is not the case. This is strictly an educational move, one that has gained some impetus and is now being seriously considered by the coun- try at large. I say, let the good work go on We cannot get too much light on anything. With light always goes happiness.
 "As supply people VIC furnish a great many small merchants, and, as usual, we credit the majority of them, and are very successful in collecting our money. However, there is one thing that we cannot lose sight of. and that Is that in most of these cases this mans savings, in fact his all is under one roof, and that if ne should meet with a disaster his entire assets are wiped out and fl he has no insurance (which happens about nine-tenths of the time). where is our bill coming from? This movement is one that we cannot permit to go unnoticed Every time d merchant loses by one oi

INFANrA's BOOK IN ENGLISH

London, Feb. 29.-"The Thread o
Life,' the series of essays written b,
the Infanta Eulalia of Spain and orig
inally published in French. under the
title of Fill de la Vie," was brought
out in an English edition today, de.
jpite the protests of King Alfonso,
who had brought about the suppress
sion of the French edition.
Following the sensation produced
by the publication of the book in Paris
last December, the Infanta submitted
to the royal command and apologized
to King Alfonso. The incident was
considered closed until about ten DAYS
ago, when a big London publishing
house announced that they had the
English translation in type and that
the first copies would be placed on
sale at London bookstalls today.
Eulalias book contains very frank
expressions in favor of divorce. and
it was this, the Infanta says, that led
to the royal displeasure, divorce not
being sanctioned in Spain.

They admit that they are in danger

In view of the manner in which the
Democrats have started their cam

ton, indications now are that they
will sweep the country in 1912. This
is the gloomy view held by a large
following in the Republican ranks.
Even the prediction in Republican
circles that President Tafts re-elec.

to an almost unbelievable degree. 1t
is not difficult to see that an obstruc-
tive program on the part of the Re-
publican leaders in Congress will have
but one effect-to help the Demo-
Gratis.
Consequently Democrats in the

TO BURY MAINE" WRECK

Washington, Feb. 29.-Within the
next few days, probably tomorrow, the
wreck of the battleship Maine will be
taken out to sea and sunk, with i'm
pressive ceremonies. An American
flag has been raised above the Maine
and it will fly over her until the burial
of the vessel, so that she will go down
with colors flying.
The armored cruiser North Caro-
lima and the scout cruiser Birming-
ham will act as escort when the
wreck is towed out to sea. The
senior ship, with colors at half mast
in honor of the bodies of the sailors
recovered from the wreck and which
will be taken on board the warships
for burial at Arlington, will fire a sa-
lutte of twenty-one guns Simultaneous
ly with similar salute from the Gu
ban shore as the vessels leave Havana
harbor.
When the wreck of the Maine has
reached deep water the officers and
crews of both warships will be at
quarters, with guard paraded, and a
funreal march will be played followed
by three volleys and the sounding of
taps as the hulk sinks to its last long
resting place at the bottom of the
ocean.
The two warship will then proceed
to Hampton Roads, where all the bod
les will be transferred to the Birming-
ham, which will bring them to Wash
ington for interment in Arlington Ma
tional cemetery.

POSTPONE FREIGHT RATES.

Washington, Feb. 29.-Advances il
freight rates proposed by transconti
mental railroads and scheduled to gC
into effect today have been suspended
until August % by the Interstate Com
merce Commission. 1t was found in
possible to conclude the inquiry as
to whether the new rates are reason
able and necessary within the time
originally fixed by the commission.
The new western classification OF
freight asked for by the western trans
portation lines and also set to become
effective this month has been post
poned by the commission until June
20, pending further investigation. The
new classification includes hundreds
of changes involving advances and a
few decreases from the present rate.
The changes would affect all freight
in or destined to the WEES
tern classification lines.
The commission has now in prog
ress an inquiry into the alleged viola
tons by many lines of the law govern
ing the issuance of passes, free trans
portation and franks. Prosecution of
the offending railroads will follow if
the commission sustains the charges.
