TAFT STILL
 CONFIDENT
BELIEVES HE WILL CONTROL NATIONAL CONVENTION AND
 BE NOMINATED.
Says He Will Command Enough Del. egates to be Nominated on First 6aIlot-Roosevelt Makes No
 Convention Predictions.

Washington, May 22. - Claiming 1 o70 delegates to the Chicago conven- tion, or 30 more than enough to as- sure him the nomination, President Taft, in a statement today, declared he was going to New Jersey to make assurance doubly sure" lie will leave at ' o'clock tomorrow morning and make his first political speech at Camden in the evening.
 The presidents statement was is- sued after day of activity at the white house. Political conferences with his managers and appointments with members of the cabinet were followed at 1 o'clock by a meeting of the full cabinet. It was stated later that this meeting was devoted to routine business, but members of the cabinet admitted that the pc litical situation had been reviewed in considerable detail.
 Our opponents quote from a state- ment of mine in Cleveland, that the fight in my home state, much to my qualification, would be the decisive one, said the president in his state- ment, and would settle the ques- ton of my nomination. This is trle. shall have at least 17 votes from Ohio, including the delegates-at-I la 6 for we have every assurance that we shall control the state convention.
 This will constitute clear ma jority in the national convention. Indeed in addition to the votes from Ohio. delegates elected for me from other states of which have been ad.
 visd since my Cleyland statement, give me at the most conservative estimate, 570 out of the 1,07S votes fin the national convention-3O mlre than the number necessary to nom- mate.
 T am going to New Jersey to take part in the coming campaign there for the same reason that I went to Ohio and such delegates as we may receive from New Jersey will thus make assurance doubly sure"
 Earlier in the day Director Me Kinley, of the Taft headquarters. claimed "at least 600 delegates for the president The presidents esti- mate, while smaller, was declared at the white house to represent rock bottom" figures, which were ex- pected to be materially increased. The claim to the six delegates-at- large in Ohio was made by the ares- ident after reassuring messages from his Ohio managers. definite claim was made by Taft forces today to the 24 delegates to be selected in New Jersey next Tuesday. At Roose- yelt national headquarters, Senator Dixon expressed the belief that Col. Roosevelt would carry all districts in the state and get the full delegation. In statment early in the day Sen ator Dixon declared Colonel Roose- welt would be nominated at Chicago on the first ballot

Mental Cruelty is
Grounds for. Divorce
Judge Ellis

Atlanta, Oct. 10.-Judge Ellis
of the superior court ruled yester-
day that if a wife lies awake at
night and insists on talking to her
husband hour after hour when he
wants and needs to go to sleep,
such treatment is just cause for a
divorce.
"There can be mental as we'll as
physical cruelty" declared the
Judge in rendering his opinion,
''and to keep a working man
awake night after night, to nag at
him and break his rest, is one of
the most unreasonable forms of
cruelty | can imagine"
Eleven more divorces we're
granted yesterday. Most however,
were for the more old fashioned
kind of cruelty, in which the hus-
band took his fist to the wife or
the wife used a rolling pin or
brick bat on the husband.
All the suits were undefended.

The Wall Street Journal frank
ly admits IN a recent issue that
whatey er may come of the investi-
cations into foreign credit systems,
lone thing is certain: namely,
that no industry has paid more
for its funds than agriculture in
the past" The National banks
are of more direct service to ..mer-
camille and manufacturing indus
tries than they are to agriculture. "
Other countries have developed a
system of banking especially
adopted to the need of rural en-
terprises," but neither State nor
Nation has done so for US. We
farmers knew all this before, but
it is pleasant to see it admitted by
others. We need not expect others
to do much, however, to help US
provide the banking facilities we
need. That is something we will
have to work out for ourselves
and fight for after we have worked
it out.-The Progressive Farmer.

Mrs. Eddy'S Will
Declared Void.
Massachusetts Court Holds
the 1000, ZOO Trust Fund
is Invalid.

Boston, Oct. "a trust fvndesti-
mated at 100000 created by the
will of Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy,
founder of the Christian science
church, for the benefit of the de-
nomination, was declared void by
the Massachusetts, supreme court
today.
The court holds, however, that
a charitable trust has been created
and that new trustees may be ap-
pointed to administer.
The trust was to have been ad-
ministered by the directors, of the
mother church in Boston, but the
court decided that the trust pro-
visions were nullified under the
statute limiting the amount of the
income from requests to religious
organizations to $4,000 annually.
The court dismissed the bill
brought by the contestants of the
will. who alleged that the teach
ings of Christian Science were
against public policy. The con-
testants, however, are given thirty
days in which to Lring in addition
al evidence to support their claim.

Mason'S Annuity AS
sets Passes Half Mil
lions Mark

Atlanta, Oct. 10. Secretary
George f. Argard, of the Masons'
Annuity today reported that the
accumulated assets of the order
had more than passed the half mil
lion mark. In fact, to be exact,
the Fl cures are 1925, 9l9.O OF.
Throughout the south this an
nouncement will be received with
keen interest and pleasure.
The amount paid to beneficiaries
of Masons and disabled brothers
is 17,613.55. The record is pro-
badly without a parallel in the
history of fraternal orders, for, as
is generally known, the order
started without a cent fourteen
years ago. All the funds of the
order, solely for the benefit Of
Masons and their families, are in
vested in high grade municipal
bonds.
Being purely mutual organiza-
ton, without any capital stock, its
entire assets represent the securi-
ty behind its members, 1t in pro-
portion to its size Is one of the
strongest institutions in the world.
The order has been responsible for
many works of beneficient and
philantnropic character. Thou
sands have expressed their graft
tude for he financial assistance
which 1T afforded in the hour when
it was most needed.
