those are problems for China itself to

ltR TAFTS LEAD INCREASES.

Nearly one-third Of the delegates 10
the Republican National Convention
have now been elected. President Tafts
lead in the contest for the nomination
has been heightened by the action taken
in many states and districts last week.
The Tribune said last Sunday that about
$50 delegates would be named and that
of those it looked "as If at least l2O 10
13O would be for Taft One hundred
and forty-six elections were reported
not including those intended to be made
yesterday in Alaska. Mr.. Taft got l3o
delegates and AlaskaS two will also
probably be for him.
The universally of the support given
the President is evidenced by decisive
victories for his followers in states as
wide apart as New York. Mississippi, Ind
lana and Colorado. County elections IN

state convention and Of majority or

reason 10 think that his present sd-
vantage will not be retained or ill.,
creased as the other two-thirds Of the
delegates are chosen.

or probably more. for the number might
quickly be increased for the sake OF tne
ballot.
1t appears, then, that at the very time
when the woman suffrage cause has been
most discredited by the extravaganza
and violence Of some Of its protagonists
a majority Of the House Of Commons Is
actually in favor of granting the demand
to a qualified but still large degree
That attitude may Of course be changed,
though 1t is difficult to see why; for II
men could vote for woman suffrage after
the recent disorders they might be ex'
pected to do so at any time.

by sad experience 1t has learned that
anthracite coal strikes, either Of the
pacific" sort now impending or Of the
serious sort which used TO disturb the
Industry. are always conducted at the
expense Of coal consumers outside the
anthracite region, who have no part
whatever either in precipitating labor
troubles or ending them. The losses
charged up TO the miners, operators,

when the miners and operators get ready

THE TALK OF THE DAY.

Writing about the barbarous practice of
trapping, Z. Z. Ericsson, superintendent Of
schools Of Bristow, Neb., says that there
should be legislation against the practice
which imposes hours OF intense agony on
little, inoffensive creatures 'in order that
a certain class OF degenerate men and
youths may be afforded amusement" He
refers to an advertisement In a sporting
catalogue" in which a trap is thus de-
scribed: This trap has webbed Jaws The
animal can gnaw off its leg only at
point quite a distance below the meeting
edges OF the jaws. The flesh left above
the point OF amputation and below the
jaws will swell and make it impossible 10

WEALTHY CH|NAMAN
Fortune Made in Raising and
Shipping Live Stock

Custer, Dec. 30. jay Fliday of this
city, a Chinaman, has made a fortune
in the cattle and rsncbing business
and has adopted to the extreme the
manners of the western civilization,
even to having a 40-horse power tour
ing car and an electric lighted ranch
house with all modern improvements.
Fliday is one of the heaviest shippers
of beef in this vicinity, and his annual
income from his crops 1uns many
thousands of dollars. He married sew
eral years age Il native white girl and
they have two children.
Fliday has lost many Of the character
istics OF the Chinaman. He came to
the hills in the early days and took
advantage of every possible scheme to
make money honestly and then saved
it, investing it in land and cattle. He
is interested in several lines of business,
but unlike most of his countrymen, he
can say he never earned any of his
money as laundryman. He is we'll
known in Omaha and Sioux City,
where he ships large consignments of
cattle each year.
