would rather be the head Of a mi
.nority than mere member Of . ma
.jority. He recognizes no leadership e,s-
cept his own; he is literally beyond
control. He was for Mr.. Taft as long
as Mr. Taft would do his bidding. He
had no quarrel with the National Com
mittee until its members declined to
obey his imperious viii.
Mr.. Roosevelt viii therefore accept
nomination from the so-ealled pro-
gressive element in his party "in the
event." to quote his own words, "ths
general feeling among the progressives
favor my being nominated" There is
much virtue in this saving clause. Mr..
Roosevelt has learned that many Of
those who were with him when they
believed he had a chance to win are
not so anxious to follow him under a
losing standard.
SeIf-preseryation is the first law of
nature, and many of the leaders asso-
ciated with Mr.. Roosevelt have personal
interests at stake which they are not
inclined to jeopardize Gov. Hadley
of Missouri, for instance, looks forward
to the time when he will seek the Pres
idential nomination. If he should bolt
the regular nominee Of the Republican
party be might as well write his own
political death warrant Gov. Deneen
seeks reelection in Illinois. If he
leaves the party and heads a minority
faction it would be equivalent to hand
ing the governorship to his Democratic
opponent upon silver platter. There
are many other men in the same situa-
ton. They cannot see why, if Mr..
Roosevelt chooses to leap overheard into
the cold and dark waters of an inde-
pendent party, they should follow him
with hopeless devotion.
Besides this, it may happen that the
Republican party will, as a general rule,
accept the denomination of Mr.. Taft
with equanimity. By the first of Au-
gust, when the new party is to be or
ganized, but which is a comparatively
distant date, there may be no demand
for Mr.. Roosevelfs nomination as an
independent candidate. In that event
he has not burned his bridges behind
him. He has merely to point to his
printed words and show that his ac-
ceptance of the nomination was de-
pendent upon a general feeling among
the progressives that he should be a
candidate.
If he should run, however, he will be
in the position of Horace Greeley; and
although the nation has become more
radical since Greeley led the Liberal
Republicans to inglorious disaster, there
is no reason to believe that Theodore
Roosevelt, who has shown himself not
to be invincible, will do aught than
make history repeat itself.

1t is worth noting, also, that division
between radicalism and conservatism
is also apparent in the Democratic
party.
The selection of Judge Alton B. Par
ker-who was 50 Overwhelmingly de-
feated in 1908 as the Democratic candi-
date for the Presidency-as the tempo
rary chairman of the approaching DEM
ocratic National Convention has already
aroused storm of protest among the
radical members of the Democratic
party. 1t means that at Baltimore there
will be contest somewhat similar to
the one which has Just ended in Chi
cago. No one can yet tell what form
the alignment will finally take. Neither
can it be foretold who will be the nomi-
nee Champ Clark has at present the
advantage of numbers, but It requires
a two-thirds vote to nominate

however, distinct advantage. A ma

The political atmosphere is still too
thick with the smoke and din of battle
to see clearly what the end will be-
There is, however, a feeling among the
Republicans who have stood loyalty by
the President that the day upon which
Mr.. Taft was nominated was the weak
est day in his campaign. They believe
that he will grow stronger as election
day approaches, and that in the end the
Democratic victory which is now 50
confidently predicted will be a matter
of doubt
They believe that when the tumult
and the shouting has died away and
the people enter upon a period of calm
reflection, Mr.. Tafts achievements, the
honesty and sanity of his administra-
ton, will be recognized and appreciated
It must not be forgotten, however, that
political conditions in this country are
now entirely unique. A glance at the
personnel of the delegates assembled in
the spacious Coliseum at Chicago is
vivid reminder of the revolution
which has been in progress. Of the
1913 men in the convention, there were
not twenty whose names have been
prominently identified with public life /;
and even a majority of this twenty Sc
cured distinction through identification
with the new movement There were
many delegates who had never before
attended a convention of any kind, city,
county, State, or national. They rep
resented new individuality which must
be recl1oned with in any political fore
cast which may be made They are
the earnest and enthusiastic exponents
of new ideas, and upon their decision to
accomplish their much-sought reforms
within or without the party will de-
pend the future of the organization to
which they now belong.

OUR UNKNOWN WORLD.

Despite the marvellous advance of exploration in various parts of the globe, an estimate as submitted by Q member of the Royal Geographical society in London shows that no less than 20,000,000 square miles of the earth'8 surface yet remain uncx- olorcd.
 The largest unexplorcd area is aid to be that in Africa-6,5 ,500,.00 niles; but even North America con- ains 1.500,o00 square miles of yir- m territory. It is surprising to earn that there are three times as much land awaiting the foot of the ''onter in North America as iii South America.-Winnipcg Post.

Couples Whose Dancing the Kaiser Is to Witness Are Rehearsed

In the German court balls not all those who are invited are permitted to take part in the dances which the kaiser witnesses.
 The kaiser has no love for "the quick and slovenly." Many months before the ball the selected couples rehearse the dances under the direc- tion of Fraulein Gasperini, mistress of the court ballet. The kaiserin criticises freely the ladies and gen. tlemen who show any shortcomings. The ordinary rehearsals. take place

PLUMBER DIDN'T WORK ALONE
His Helper Wasn't at the House, but He Appeared in the
 Bill.

F. s. Flight, the manager of the Willard hotel in Washington, had a plumber at his house for several days plumbing around.
 flight noticed that the plumber had no helper with him. He talked to the plumber about this lapse, and called the attention of his own fam fly to a situation that he had never observed before-a plumber plumb ing without helper. Also he spoke about it to various persons round the hotel.
 Presently the bill came in. In it were charged, with great care and particularly, large amount of ma- terials, and then occurred this line: "For plumber and helper, $96."
 High sent the bill back and sug- gested that as there had been no helper with this expensive plumber it was his opinion that the bill was subject to revision in that item.
 He received this reply: "Dear Sir: It is quite true the plumbers helper was not at your house, but he helped round the shop getting the tools ready, and so forth. ."-Saturday Evening Post.

timating, however, that it was the best thing that could happen for Democracy. Then he spoke of Bryan. He said:
 This man must first give some good reason for calling himself a Democrat before he criticises the democracy of others" "
 It was bomb shell, delivered in the well-known blunt way of the senior senator. And the peo- pie resented it. The great con- vention began shouting itself hoarse for Bryan, intermingling their yells with more specific calls for Bennett Clark" For ten minutes the Senator attempt ed to talk against the storm, but it was useless. He could not be heard. The people would not permit a man who is still their idol to be dsSailed. After a time the senator sat down and the audience would not be stilled un. til the eloquent son of Champ Clark had taken the platform and made rousing speech of thanks and prediction of Democratic vic- tory.
 Hon. W. H. Martin, of Hot Springs was the permanent chairman and Hon. Paul Little, of Sebastian, was permanent secre- tary. Assistant secretaries were w. F. Turner, A. J. Witt, J. G.. Burlingame, A. $. Hayes, Van Simms and Wm. Stoddard,
 Steve Carrigan, of Hope, who served as temporary chairman, made speech in which he de- clared the affairs of state are in the most serious condition they have been since the days of re- construction. "The people of the state and nation are facing a crisis" said he that may force them to write another Declara- tion of Independence"
 The chairman appointed a com, mittee on platform with W. c. Hendricks chairman, the mem bers at large being James P. Clarke, J. H. Hinemon, T. H. Humphrey, Joe Flynn and J. V. Bourland. This committee met last night and reported this morning.

DELEGATES INSTRUCT
 ED TO VOTE FOR CLARK

eighteen delegates to the Balti- more convention have been in structed by the practically unan- imous acclaim of the Arkansas state convention to vote for Champ Clark, as a unit, practi- cally so long as his name is be- fore the convention. This action was taken at , D. m. Wednesday, upon resolution offered by W. c. Hutton of Pulaski, and there was no discussion whatever. The delegates were ripe for it, and nothing that was done save the nomination of Joe T. Robin son for governor could have ap- preached in popularity
 All nominating speeches were dispended with save for Govern or. Attorney General Hal l.. Norwood who had opposed him for short time, placed Con gressman Joe T. Robinson in nomination for governor, pre- dieting that he will give them an orderly, intelligent, constitu- tional administration of t h e states affairs" $ econ i Il 2 speeches were made by c. P. Newton of Lonoke, and c. H.. Brough of the State University.
 MT. Robinson was then es. corted to the stagebya committee, and was given a magnificent ova- tion. He discussed at some length national issues, and out lined briefly some of the policies he will pursue in state affairs.
 He declared for a reorganiza- tion of the nenitentiary Board, for the elimination of politics from the State University and the St. Francis Levee District for the government control of the leveeS. for short sessions of the legislature with a minimum of special legislation, and was loudly applauded on the following sentiment:
 Honest primaries and cleo tions underlie all political re- forms. The shameful and dis, graceful practice of expending enormous sums of money in campaigns must be abolished It excludes poor men from office and affiicts our political institu- tions with the leprosy of corrup- tion. Pledges or appointment to office in consideration of political support and promise of pardon should be made impeachable. Campaign contributions and ex> penses should be limited and full publicity required. The limit should be reasonable so as not to deprive the voters of becoming familiar with the candidates and their views. Boodling in elec> tions is the parent of all forms of dishonesty in politics. By means of it the worm of greed, the ser pent of bribery and all their crawling progeny are fattened."
 Immediately after the adoption of the resolution there occurred an incident which demonstrated the loyalty of Arkansas Demo crats to party leader who has thrice been the nominee and been thrice defeated. It was generally known that Bennett Clark, son of Champ Clark, was in the audience, and there were insistent cal l S for Clark" Clark" There was some doubt as to whom they meant. Sena.

Wins Highest Award at Tri.State Fair

The proprietor of Hearndale Farm near this city, where some of the fin est chickens of the White Leghorn breed are raised, won signal hOnors at the poultry department of the Fri State Fair, which began Monday at Memphis.
 Out of about 1,700 entries bullet entered by the local poultrymen won the highest prize that can be award ed at the show, that of a gold leG Land. And in making the award the judge, who on several occasions has acted in that capacity at the big shows held in Madison Square Gar den, New York, said the bullet was a wonde. and would stand fine chance of carrying off the high hon ors at the next big show to be held in the metropolis.
 The opinion of Judge F. J. Marshall a noted chicken authority, is contain ed in the following letter written to W. D. Hearn, proprietor, and A. P. Ryland, manager, of Hearndale Farm:
 Having handled the stock of Hearndale Farm, of Pine Bluff, Ark, at the Tri-State Fair, Memphis, Tenn, September 23rd to 27th 1912, l feel inclined to say that their stock of White Leghorns is superb and shows careful breeding and handling. Their first prize bullet was wonder, and is in class by herself This farm deserves success.
