damage to the cocoanut plantations

Mr.. Jepson can not say enough for
the hospitable manner in which he
was treated by the Samoan govern

way to assist him in every possible
way both in his investigations and
socially, so much so that he was very

LIKENS HIMSELF TO LINCOLN
MORE AND RESEMBLES HIM LESS
THAN ANY MAN IN THE HISTORY

STEUBENVILE CO.., May 13.-Pres-
ident Taft's first day of his final cam
paign through Ohio, which came to
an end with a speech here tonight,
was marked by the most pronounce l
verbal assaults upon Colonel Roose-
Welt to which Taft so far has given
public utterance In speeches that
we're filled with indignant attack that
bubbled over with uncomplimentary
adjectives, Taft discharged his oratory
At his predecessor.
He started out upon mis- last cam
paign to urge the people of Ohio 10
support him in the primaries of May
2lst at Marietta in a cold rain, which
finally fed before the sun.
Although in substance all of the
dozen speeches the President made
were much like those he delivered
in Massachus etts and Maryland, they
differed widely at times in the words
used to score Roosevelt.
One of the attacks on Roosevelt,
which raised laugh, delivered at
Dennison, ran like this:
81 think it would be dangerous TO
put a man with Roosevelt's present
constitutional views and with the Ella
ton he would necessarily feel by Tea-
son of getting something that all the
great Presidents have never got-it
would not be safe to put him in the
White House again.
Not Necessary for Job.
"He says the reason the American
people are going to elect him is be-
cause he is necessary for the job. That
is the description he gives. Well, l
hope the American people will not
think he is necessary for the job.
want to call your attention TO what
the job is which he proposes. 1t is the
millennium that he is going to bring
about when he gets into office. All
bosses are going to disappear, poll
ticians are going to be fewer and he
IS going to have a finger in every
community in every state. in every
county, and everything is going to
heaven.
IF that be true, the millennium is
coming and if that is the job he is to
do it is going to take longer than foIr
years. beg of you to ask him when
he comes here whether he would take
a fourth term; ask him whether he
is going to take a fifth term and why
he should not continue in Office dur
ing his life"
Another sally that brought a re-
Spouse was much like that delivered
at Cambridge. Speaking there of the
job Roosevelt said the people wanted
him to do, President Taft asked:
Suppose Mr.. Roosevelt were watt
ed to the skies in chariot, like the
prophet of old and were to disappear
from sight, how do you suppose this
country would get along, anyhow?
My friends, it is a dangerous thing
to put in the White House a man for
the third term with his views of the

Now Peter appears and rescues his

The Darling children at last reach
home in safety Wendy begs Peter to
remain, but he urges her to come back
to him to Never Never, Never Land,
where there are no mothers to tuck you
up in bed at night. Peter still does
not want to grow up, so he flies away

Wendy visits him every year to do his

of fairy charm. Is in the tops of the
trees. where Peters little home hangs

insects and the colored radiance Of the
spring night. And Peter Pan, I'M

ing to perhaps the greatest appeal that

1t VIII be recalled that only recently
one Of the greatest producing managers
in America selected an all-star cast for
the production of the play and that it
broke theater records wherever pre-

Miss Bunting is perfectly qualified

from the sort of character she is usu-
ally called upon TO portray but it is
just what suits her To a fine point.
George Whitaker has been cast for a
