PERILOUS, SAYS
PRES. TAFT, OF
Third Term
HIS ADDRESS AT NEWARK
Was Heard By an Audience
of 1000

New York, April 29.-Speaking Il
an audience of nearly 1000 people
In Newark, N. j., President Taft again
hit out from the shoulder at Theodore
Roosevelt. He charged him with I'M
fairness and misrepresentation with
Wilful deception and chicanery, and
declared that if Roosevelt could find
any reason now why he might be re-
garded as "the only man" to take the
presidency there was nothing ON
earth to prevent his finding a new ex-
cuse for his reelection at the end
of every four years.
President Taft spoke under the aus
pieces of the Taft Business Mems
league at the First regiment armory.
The audience was one of the largest
political crowds that has gathered n
that city in many a year, and while
the president received a very hearty
reception when he received aCMFWY
reception when he arrived at the hall
the great crowd only rose to him
spontaneously at one point in his
speech.
The enthusiastic outburst came
when the president was half way
through his address. Leaning over
the rail of the platform his face red
with emotion and shaking his head
from side to side, he cried:
Imust if l would do my duty, an
swer the charges of Theodore Roose-
welt. 1t isn't a pleasant thing to do
and under certain circumstances it
may not be dignifed thing for the
president of the United States to en-
ter into a controversy of this sort
But l have been forced to the wall,
with my back against it and l am
bound, if have any manhood in me.

About the Ermino.

The ermine Is a queer animal. 1t Is
one thing in winter and another thing
in summer. That is strange state
ment, but 1t is true. In winter the ami
mails fur Is as white as snow. and 1t
is called the eYmine; in summer its
fur turns reddish brown on the upper
part of the body and light yellow on
the lower part. and it is then known
as the stoat. This change is familiar
to naturaists. but not to ordinary peo-
pie, and the ermine and the stoat are
therefore generally thought to be dis
tinct animals.
The fur Of the ermine is Of great
value. particularly for use in court
robes. There was so great demand
for it when the preparations were max
ing for the coronation Of King Ed
ward Of England that the price went
up to an almost fabulous sum.
The animal is so cunning in its ways
that it Is almost as hard to catch as 1t
is to "catch weasel asleep" In fact.
about the only way to catch it Is to
mark its course from its home and
then strew mud in its pathway. 1t is
said that when the dainty, fastidious
little animal reaches the point where
the mud is it will lie down and submit
to capture rather than smirch one Of
its snow white hairs.

FOR THE CHILDREN
The Weathercocks,

Any number Of players may take
part in this game. which is really good
fun. The four corners Of the room ar,
named after the four points of tn,
compass, north being diagonal to scslth
and east diagonal to west. One of tbs
players is called the wind. the rest be
ing weathercocks. The latter should
stand in line in the center of the
room. When the wind" points to on,
corner. calling out the name of that
cardinal point. the weathercOcks must
Immediately face the opposite points
Thus If the wind says South
they face north, and so on. If ho
should name point they are already
facing they must remain perfectly still
When the wind" cries "Variabe!
the vanes must raise themselves to
their toes and sway back and forth
until the name Of one Of the cardinal
points is again called. when, as before
they turn to the opposite point.
Whenever the wind" shouts storm
or tempest" each vane must whirl
completely around three times. Any
player failing to obey any one Of these
directions, which are more confusing
than they sound. must forfeit some ar
ticle, such as a handkerchief. hair rib
bon or trinket. to be redeemed by q
humorous "stunt" after the game Is
over.

That witness mute Of her who left It

Until the dusk IL filled with thoughts Of

With perfume faint that thrills me like

The very spot wherein my hand I lay.

GENERAL Ii YUAN HUNG.

now awake and will never cease to
fight until the Picking government has
surrendered.
Our success has been due not so
much to the fact Of our fighting quail
ties as the desire of the government
troops not to fire on their cOuntrymen
who have such just and righteous
cause.
Il believe 1t will be impossible for
the Manchus to send a sufficient force
to prevent our advance, and when l
have the proper number Of troops in
tend to proceed to Picking and take the
seat Of the government. That will be
the end Of the revolution. and the Man.
chus will be compelled to leave China
and we will establish our own govern.
nent
ITO establish a republican form of
government Is our aim and desire. I
have made some study Of the repub-
lican governments Of the world, and
believe China can best be governed by
the people. We are a peaceful. law
abiding country. and the people can be
trusted with the government. Too long
have we suffered from the oppression
and corruption Of the Manchus, who
have done nothing for China, only for
themselves. We want to place China
among the powers. exploit her re.
sources and treat with other nations
as nation and not be forced to the
indignities that the Manchus have put
upon u.s. We intend to be friendly
with all foreign powers. All their in
terests will be protected to the best Of
our ability. and the treaties now in
force and the land under foreign con-
troll will be respected. What we are
fighting for is the chance to create in
China nation Of equal opportunity.
where life and property Of all will be
safe. Under the Picking government no
one was safe, and II you came under
the displeasure Of the Manchus you
were likely to lose your head without
any trial or to disappear. and, no mat.
ter how hard your friends searched.
they were unable to End any trace Of
you. This despotism will cease when
We take over the government"

and happy way OF clearing up play
room and sharpening wits at the same
time. At signal from mother the
children run to find and put in their
places all the things beginning with a
animals. nrks and acrobats; then the
t's-b;tls. bats. boxes. bears, etc, that
are scattered about. and so on through
the alphabet. A simple prize-a choco-
late drop. coOky or big hug from
mother-rewards the child who finds
and puts away the most objects. and

will be interested to the last. besides

Cat and Mouse.

One of the most amusing Of gymna-
SUM or outdoor games Is cat and
mouse. A circle is formed. and the
player selected to be the mouse stands
in the circle. Another player. the cat,
stands outside. The object Of the game
is for the cat to catch the mouse. The
circle assists the mouse by letting her
in or out the circle at any time. but
the cat is hindered as much as posi-
BILE by tightly clasped hands.
When the game is well learned much
excitement is added by having two
cats and one mouse. This makes the
game more amusing. as the mouse. IL
not very alert. will elude one cat only
to run into the arms of the other. The
two cats in this case should be slower
runners and the mouse one Of the
speediest.

 Considering that the present law amply covers the subject O. improper immoral literature, does not the pro posed amendment, if adopted by con eress, put within the grasp of some re- iigious sect weapon by which the freedom of speech and of the press may be stifed?

THE DAY OF REST.

Another thing is engaging the at tention of the legislatures proposed statutory day Of rest. This matter has come before several territorial legislatures in the shape, usually, oi bills for the closing of barber shops on Sunday. 1t Is in that form it has now been presented.
 Barbers now. as they formerly have been. are generally in favor of it. but the Seventh Day Adyent.sts have ai- ways managed to stop the progress of these rest day bills and in this case. they have brought it to a tempor- ary staudstill, at least.
 They are now opposing the measure more systematically than in the past They nave organized a body called the Civic and Religious Liberty asso- citation Of Arizona. The association, whose name is attractive, it is under stood, includes members who are not Adventists but the members of that faith are the chief movers in 1t and the backbone of it.
 The Adventists oi course. are aot opposed to a day ol rest but they slrenuously oppose legislative recog- milton of Sunday. while in their belief, Saturday is the true Sabbath or day of rest
 In Arizona there has been no recog- nAion ot sppday though SQiqq of ;iile towns and cities have decreed that the saloons shall be closed on that day. If any other than the saloon business were affected by ordinances of that kind. they would probably en counter the opposition Of the Advent ists.
Bisbee daily review., 1912-04-10

There is very widespread agitation at the present tune IT behalf Of civic righteousness and for laws designed 10 express more clearly the will oi the people. The cause of this agitation is said to be the unrest and uncertain tv which prevails throughout world But in the proposals to accomplish certain reforms, men continue to dil- fer in opinion as to the value and con Stitutionality Of measures which are designed to ameliorate conditions.
 Legislation which will conserve the inherent rights or all, and at the same tune control malefactors of all classes, high and low, rich and poor. seems difficult to construct. History at- lords abundant evidence that star- utes designed for good from the view point Of their original proponents, have been used to prosecute dissent CTS, especially is this true Of laws af- fecting religious relations.
