her only of trifles that touched
my real life and interests not at

good comrade and helper and adj
wiser to me all my life. And l
have been a blind fool, running
after will-o-the-wisps, and turn

his hands pleadingly to her the
interruption came. 1t was a mes
sage for Jimmie. The messenger
had been to his own home, learn

met the servant in the hall, and
heard by word of mouth the mes
sage that was too urgent to wait

They were both veryswhite; but

"You must go and do your part.
You will not fail her now-nor

that last word decided it. He
turned away that he might not

State Senator Flynn of that
State Suggested for Ma
tional Chairman.

Pittsburg. May l4.-Willina Finn
republican leader of PENNSYLVANIA
for national republican chairman is
the way the observers are doping ii
out now, after seeing what the Pitts.
burg men did in PENNSYLVANIA and
elsewhere.
The attention paid the former SEN
ator and present leader by Theodore
Roosevelt. the consideration given
his ideas and his methods. and the
fact that the following of his sug-
gestions has been coincident with
success. have led to the idea that the
logical thing for the republican party
to do-in the event. always. of the
Roosevelt forces winning out-would
be to have the Pittsburg man as the
national leader
The activity Of the old leader. who
came back with such a vengeance,
has long been recognized and never
more SO than today, when he is look
ed up to as about the best political
organizer in the national field. Roose-
velt has called on him for help not
only in Pennsylvania. but in Massa-
chusetts. New Jersey and Ohio. in the
last Of which states Finn has been
busy of late aiding and abetting that
other insurgent. Walter Brown of
Toledo. who is himself not very much
Of slouch when it comes to aggers-
stveness and doing things.
Roosevelt has said. both in public
and In private. that he regarded Finn
as one OF the best bets in the political
game today. pointing to the Pennsyl-
vania victory as illustration. and the
genius for organization possessed by
the Pittsburg leader. aided by his as
sociates. may have such a develop
ment as will make the proposal to
have him national leader not such a

The Debate in the Committee over the

Both the Pros and Cons Were ably
Presented.

Minneapolis. May l4.-That men,

pitals of the Methodist Episcopal
church, when recommended by their
pastors under proper rules and regu-
lations. not as charity patients but as
guests OF the church. is embodied in
the report of the committee on TEN
general conference in session here.
The committee advocates caring for
the spiritual welfare of the patients,
nurses and employees of all church
hospitals by the employment of pas
tor. deaconess or other christian
worker.
Included in the report also is the
recommendation that each conference
in the United States become q patron
of at least one hospital and that no
hospital hereafter be established with
out the approval of the conference in
whose bounds it is located.
That there is great problem before

the number of churches periodicals Is
which are said to be losing money for
the church Is indicated in the report
The committee advocates that a tone
be created in the periodicals that shall
lie between the deadness of officialism

the other. and also that a commission
be named to study the difficulties be.

TARIFF BILLS
WILL Be CLOSED
Senate Will Take Final Vote
on Them Before Con-
gress Adjourns.

Washington. May 14.-All the tariff
bills that have passed the house will
be disposed of by the senate before
the end of the session and probably
without interfering with the plans for
an early adjournment. according to
Senator Simmons. who is in charge Of
these measures in the senate.
When the agricultural bill is dis
posed of we will take up the metal bill
again" said Senator Simmons today,
and after a few more speeches we
will fix day for vote. Naturally
the appropriation bills are given pref
erence when they come up. in order to
permit the conference committees to
get to work on them as soon as possi-
BILE: but it is not intended that they
shall long prevent consideration Of
the tariff measures"
The senator said the chemical bill
would follow the metal bill and after
thought the debate on these measures
that would come the wool bill. He
would not be so extended as that on
the metal bill. The general under-
standing is that the progressive re.
publicans will dictate the tariff course
of the senate. The democrats are ex-
pected to go on record for their own
bills and then accept the progressive
measures with such notifications "A

HARMON OPENS
ON COL. BRYAN
Throws a Few Bombs in the
Democratic Fight in
Ohio.

Wooster. Ohio. May Ex-Governor
Judson Harmon of Ohio last. night
began his campaign in Ohio for the
presidential nomination with a reply
to the attacks made on him by w. j.
Bryan who recently made a tour of
the state. Mr.. Harmon declared that
ne had been unanimously selected by
the last state convention as Ohio's
candidate for president and that it
was not self-seeking which had nut
him before the country and subject
ed him to the falsification and abuse
which are disgracing American poll
tics this year"
The governor said that the watch.
word adopted for the gubernatorial
campaign was Harmon has made
good"
But there were some who thought
l had made too good" continued Mr..
Harmon; "and to stave off political
bankruptcy from a bipartisan COM
bination I had to he beaten. The
Commoner's mailing list was secured
and three separate circulars sent out
filled with falsehood and denuncia-
ton. They bore Mr.. Bryan's picture
and urged his friends to vote against
me because my reelection would
make me the candidate for president.
II was reelected by more than
lVV'VVV majority, tnoOgn Colonel
Roosevelt and most of the cabinet
came into the state to oppose me.
"It- may be thought wiser to Sc
lect some other candidate than N.Y.
self at Baltimore. 1 would not. IL I
could. interfere with the free choice
Of the convention. But If the unani-
nous action Of the Dayton convention
is to be reversed at the primary it
will be heralded as a reputation Of
