The democrats are carrying on. hot

have divided into factions. as between
Wilson and Clark. The effort, Of Mr..

seemly scramble for delegates. but they
are going on with their fight and each
side Is going after delegates hard. The
managers OF the two sides differ so
greatly as TO the delegates already Sc
iected that II would be hard to determine
what are the. facts. Each side claims 3
majority of the delegates already Sc
lected. and while the Clark men seem
to be the best PLANNERS" the Wilson
men are shcxins surprising strength In
the last few weeks and are at this time
making gains.

TURKEY DEFYING THE GEAR

LONDON, April 1.-The relations Of
Russia and Turkey. which q few weeks
ago caused the circulation Of alarming
reports. may at any moment reach an
acute stage and the bone Of contention
viii be Persia.
At the close Of the Rnsso-Japaness
war Turkey moved some troops into the
Persian province Of Azerbaijan, q strip
OF which has been IN dispute for upwards
OF 200 years. Turkey claims this strip;
Persia holds Il. but the ownership has
yet to be decided. The question has
been a subject OF negotiations. but while
these have been going on Russia asserts
that Turkey has been slowly moving Its
forces until they have even gone beyond
the disputed strip and now command
the western part of Aserbaijan from
Lake Urumiah to the frontier and could
with ease attack the Russian province
Of Erivan.
Turkey denies any aggressive intentions

Taft Sounds Note Of warnlnu.

A note of warning to European pow
ers which by indirect means continue
to discriminate against American
trade; a strong appeal to the congress
to uplift the great foreign policies Of
America above mere questions of par
tisanship; a triumphant vindicatiOn OF
the diplomacy of the administration.
which is characterized as that of dol
lars VS. bullets;" a masterful pride IL
the enormous expansion of American
trade as a result of the foreign poll
cies of his administration, and an
earnest appeal for joint action by con-
gress and the executive to open new
markets for American Industries
these are the striking features Of
President Taft's fourth annual mes.
sage to congress.
The message is the first of a series
of such communications which Mr..
Taft will make to congress in the early
days of this session, the last OF his
term, and deals entirely with the for
eign relations of the United States.
A notable omission from the mes
sage is that of any discussion of the
commercial treaty of 1882 with Rus.
sia, which will terminate on Dec. 81
through the announcement of the con-
vention last year. The president has
let it be known that the state depart
ment is not seeking to negotiate an
other treaty with Russia, and that this
will be left to the Wilson administra-
tion to accomplish.
Beginning with the usual reference
to the existing good relations with
foreign powers, the president adds
that these have been strengthened by
"a greater insistence upon Justice to
American citizens, or interests, wher-
ever it may have been denied, and a
stronger emphasis of the need of mu-
tuality in commercial and other rela.
tions."
For the first time, says the presi-
dent, the state department has OBJ
tanned substantially the most favored
nation treatment from all of the coun-
tries of the world. Therefore, he says
that it is only natural that competitive
countries should view with some con-
cern the expansion of our commerce.
Hence the warning "if in some in
stances the measures taken by them
to meet it are not entirely equitable.
remedy should be found"
To this end the president, declaring
FIAT tariffs are out of date" strongly
recommends the enactment of the bill
recommended by Secretary Knox last
December, permitting the government,
instead of imposing the full maximum
rates of duty against discriminating
countries, to apply a graduated scale
Of duties, up to that maximum of 25
per cent.

Takes Bath Only When Forced.


Although a good worker, temperate
in his habits and an excellent pro
wider for his family, Joseph Motifs, of
Larksville, near Wilkes-Barre, Pa,
positively refused to be coaxed or
driven to take a bath, his family told
justice of the peace.
For three weeks Motifs slept in his
mining clothes, and efforts of his fam
lily to persuade him to wash were
fruitless.
In despair Mrs. Motifs went to
Squire Edward Burke and caused he'
husbands arrest. charging that he
would not take a bath. She appeared
against him at a hearing, as did his
sons and daughters, and all testified
that he had a great dislike for soap
and water.
THE verdict of this court" said the
'equire to Motifs, lis that you take a
bath"
Then turning to Constable Joseph
Hustled, the squire said:
Here is money to buy scrubbing
brushes and soap. Take this man to
his home, and if he won't bathe, use
what force is necessary to subject
him to a thorough scrubbing. Scrub
him until his skin Shines"
Hustled returned in two hours and
reported that he had to force the man
to a bath, but that he had carried out
oredrs.
