ton bills and adjourn June

There Is one touch which
Is unusual in the following
prayer, delivered by the Rev.
Henry N. Couden, chaplain
of the house of represents
tatiyes, on May 20:
almighty God, inz whom
we live and move and have
our being, make us conscious
of Thy presence by quicken-
ing our minds and con-
science, that we may walk in
the light of Thy cOuntenance,
and, without taking our
selves too seriously, do the
work Thou hast given us to
do i'm humility, yet with cour-
age and fortitude, in the
spirit Of the Lord Jesus
Christ. Amen"
IL Roosevelt is not nomf-
mated at the Chicago conven-
ton, he will bolt and run in
dependently. That much
seems to be pretty well set
tied i'm the minds of those
who are in position to be in
formed as to plans and pros
poets. This Is the interpreter

that il the peoples mandate
is not carried out at Chicago,
he will "have a good deal to
say"
Senator Borah has been
making II grand fight in the
senate to prevent the side
tracking of his eight-hour
bill. Warren, Hepburn, Gall
linger, Lodge and the reac-
tionary democrats like Ba-
con, Overman and Thornton
have been doing their best
to evade a roll-call on this
bill, and to put the appropri-
alton bills to the front so as
to get them out of the way
in order that the senate
might adjourn without pass
ing any of the important
good legislation.
Ten years ago Erskine r..
X. Hayes, an employee in the
bureau Of printing and en-
craving in the treasury de-
partment was frightfully in
jured without any fault ON
his part. On May 80 of this
year, ten years later, a mo-
ton was made in the senate
to take from the celandar a.
bill providing that he be COM

bill from the calendar. Mr.

The most talked-of book in
Europe today is 1.-THE Dangerous
Age, by Madame Karin Mich
aelis, a Danish woman. The
book is an intimate study of the
heart of a woman--daringly con-
ceived and brilliantly executed. A
storm of discussion has been
started wherever The Dangerous
Age" has appeared, for 1t is not
a book for sweet sixteen to read.
Madame Michaelis seems to
think that the dangerous age is

Next Monday the great Russian pianist will be heard in recital at the Jefferson theatre.
 Recently he was in Buffalo and in com menting on his work the Express said
 MT. Friedheim's playing points a nor sr for all rabid advocates of this or that particular method of piano technique. With no mannerisms. he sits at the key board with absolute repose and plays almost without motion, except for an occasional poising above chord, upon which he falls with lonine attack that suggests at times the playing of Anton Rubnstein. Usually his fingers glide over the keys in what seems 10 be effort less fashion. But method or no method, MT. Friedheim secures precisely the ef- fects at which he aims. He has mar vicious range of tone. color and electri- flying brilliancy. contrasting with super lative q delicacy.

Reforms that have been secured in Ohio had to encounter their opposition and every public officer is reaction larry to them, who insist on restoring g to public service honesty, economy and efficiency"
 The speaker discussed national af- fairs and referring to the Presiuent said he never could understand how any body could rest content with being mere placeholder while economies, practical reforms, are suggesting them selves all around him. especially during times when fast-growing cost of living strains the resources of almost every home.
 And standing for or permitting spe- cial privilege or advantages of any kind through action of government maintained by all the people for their equal benefit Is offense little short of treason in the eyes of democrats. These are matters right or wrong with us, not mere economies,' he continued.
 "Intimation that I ever was or could be actively or passively guilty of this offense I resent as islander without eX- cuse of mitigation. I would rather be wolves no betrayal of trust reposed by my countrymen, and would admit resti- tutionH
 Tt is said, I think truthfully, that have the confidence of men who con duct business enterprises, great and small, which have done so much to make Ohio what she is; if the same be true of like men throughout the coun- try I am glad to know it.
 The weakness of the republican party Is that it became a party of class. The strength of the democratic party is that it has never been party of any class"

GOVERNOR HARMON
 DEFENDS HIMSELF
Speaks in Omaha While
 Bryan Is in Ohio
IS NOT REACTIONARY
Says Every Public Officer Is Re actionary" Who Attempts to Re- store to Public Service Hon.
 esty, Economy, Efficiency

Omaha, Neb., April 12.-Gov. Judson Harmon of Ohio ended two busy days in Omaha with an address to one of the largest political mass meetings ever held in this city.
 During the day he made two addresses, one at the stock exchange in South Omaha and the other before-the Commer- cial club. where he was luncheon guest. The afternoon was. spent getting acquaint- ed with several hundred democrats who came from nearly every part of the state to see and hear the governor.
 The meeting at the Commercial club was well attended. Governor Harmon was Introduced by John Lee Webster, lead ing supporter of President Taft, who re- marked that i've are both natives of Ohio, but were brought up in different political schools
 We have too much business in our politics and not enough politics in our business declared the governor. Pub lie affairs should receive the attention of all business men to the end that a few may not profit illegitmately.
 The one great problem that we rrlust meet today is the government of our cities, for 1t is there that the greatest problems of taxation arise. and where the government enters into the daily lives of the people,"
 The meeting tonight was enthusiastic and the big auditorium was without a vacant seat, many standing in the rear The governor was in good voice and re- ceived warm welcome"
 Harmon Defends Himself
 Governar Harmon of Ohio delivered a spirited address tonight in reply to criticisms of his public record and the assertion that he is a ''reactionary He resented as a islander the intimation that he stood for or permitted special privileges, "an offense little short of treason in the eyes of the democrats" he declared. The charge he participated in the sale of government bonds while a cabinet officer was mere wantonness. he said.
 Governor Harmon's visit to Omaha fol- lowed the announcement that w. j.. Bryan would speak in Ohio Governor Harmon did not mention the name of the Nebraskan, but said: Good peo- pie of Ohio, bear me out when 1 say Ohio was never so honestly, fairly, economically, capably managed as by the present democratic administration. It is because Jeffersonian principles are practiced, not merely prated about"
 In beginning Governor Harmon said i.
 While averse to speaking about my self, l feel it due myself to speak of some matters of public nature about V hich falsehoods have been circulated so wholly unfounded that persistence n them cannot be ascribed to proper mo- lives"
 Here he denied the alleged bond transaction and continued:
 Among many things 1t has been my fortune to accomplish as attorney gen. eral the best known, and the one for which even republican successors have commended me, was securing from the supreme court the first decisions up- holding the sherman antitrust law. These were not announced until my term expired. Yet. though these facts
