THE NEWS OF The WEEK.

The present week will see the be-
ginning of the end Of contests for the
presidential nominations, So far az the
election OF delegates to the national
conventions are concerned. Interest
will center chiefly in the presidential
preference primaries to be held IN
New Jersey tomorrow. The contest
between Taft and Roosevelt is SINH
lar to the contests already fought out
in Massachusetts, and Maryland. the
other two eastern states in which gen.
eral primaries have been held, and 1t
is the general belief that the victor In
New Jersey will win by narrow
margin. On the Democratic side 1t is
fight by Governor Wilson to secure
the solid Endorsement Of his home
state against the strenuous efforts OF
his opponent to have the delegation
uninstructed.
Kentucky's twenty-six delegates to
the Democratic national convention
will be chosen in Louisville Wednes-
day. The state convention, which will
name the four delegates at. large, will
be preceded in the forenoon by the
conventions of the eleven congress
sional districts. Speaker Clark Is be-
lieved to have a good lead among the
Democrats OF the Blue Grass state and
the only question appears to be wheth-
er the delegates shall be instructed
for him or shall go to Baltimore with
out instructions.
Other events ON the political calen-
dar for the week will include the
Democratic presidential preference
primaries in Rhode Island, the Demo
cratic state convention at Butte to
name Montana's eight delegates to
Baltimore, the Democratic and Repub.
lican state conventions in Texas to
rstify the results OF the recent pri.
-naries. and the Arizona Republican

Just drop line to mother, boy;
Remember she's your friend;
You know she's getting old and gray
And Fastening toward the end.
A word from you will cheer her up
And make her old heart glad;
Shed know you've not forgotten her
Drop her line, my lad.
When you were but little child
She stroke your curly head
And told you how she loved you;
Don't forget the words she said.
She'd put her arms around your neck
Whenever you felt sad;
Shed always kiss away your tears
Drop her line, my lad.
You took your sorrows all to her
Shed smooth your troubled brow;
She always chased the clouds away
Would you forget her now?
She's praying for you every day,
No word from you she's had:
A message now would make her
Drop her line. my lad.
Perhaps she thinks you're lost and
gone.
That she is all alone;
Brighten her up with little note
As reward for what she's done;
'Twould lengthen her years to SEES
your face.
Shed remember her little tad;
But this is the least that you can do
Drop her a line, my lad.
You'll only have one mother, boy
No one her place can take:
Twill be too late when she is gone,
Writejnst for her sweet sake!
She'll take you to her warm hear
still
If you've gone to the bad;
Don't be ashamed to call her name
Drop her a line, my lad.

The proposition to change the name
of the chief executive officer from
commodore" to admiral" was de-
feated.
There have been no particularly
brilliant records al the races as the
Reliances have been able to win with
out being put to their best speed. The
Reliance III in the mile dash demon
strated her possibilities by making the
course in 1907, and Ryan claims 1t
would have been mile minute had
not two boats crossed the path and
compelled him TO slow down.
The convention later reconsidered its
action in refusing to name its chief
executive officer admiral instead Of

change. The head Of the association
will now be admiral" and past Officers
will have the title of Commodore"

Benefit. o. Royal Academy.


A membership of the Royal acad.
emy OF London carries with 1t numer-
Gus advantages. In word the acad-
envy is q benefit society founded on .
very generous scale. The pension
fund Of Burlington house is splendid
one. Any Royal Academician who
fails upon hard times or who IL pre-
vented by Ill health from following
his profession may claim q pension,
and the pension sometimes runs into
as much as $4,000 year.
The Royal Academician who dies IN
straitened circumstances and leaves
his widow and children insumciently
provided for is not thought any the
less of for his Ill fortune. The Royal
academy shows its sympathy by gem
erously allowing those who were de-
pendent on him liberal sum for their
maintenance. And the wife and the
children of deceased Royal Acade-
mician receive many kfndnesses anu
acts of charity from the hands Of the
living ROYAL Academicians, which are
quite distinct from those given by this
academy-National Magazine.

Had the Clark leaders picked on some

However. there was one situation,
aside from the Parker matter, ~ to
which the Clark leaders did not reckon
wisely. This was In the matter of get
ting the Underwood support. 1t does
not appear they had any promises from
Underwood. They simply reckoned
that they had and could maintain for
a series of ballots majority OF the
convention. This fact, they thought,
would pull the Underwood following
into line. But in this they were mis-
taken. Underwood. when Clark was
getting his majorities still firmly be-.
lieved the convention would swing to
him eventually. Besides, most Of his
own delegates were Wilson men, no
less than thirty-seven Of the forty-eight
from Alabama being for Wilson next
to Underwood.
1t has been well understood for q
long time in Washington that there
was no love lost between Underwood
and Speaker Clark. It can easily be
