isrration, change in policies and
continuation of business depression
and general unrest
In estimating the probabilities OF
President Taft's denomination and re-
election, 1t is necessary to recur only
to recent history. The president car
ried every northern state in 1908. Be
tween the election of that year and
1910 occurred the tariff legislation
known as the Payne tariff law. 1t is
a well known maxim of politics that
that party which revises the tariff is
defeated at the next election and the
only exception to the rule in recent
years was the passage of the Dingley
law, which was followed so closely by
the outbreak of the Spanish-American
war as to bury the tariff issue in a
wave of patriotic enthusiasm. The
more recent bye-elections in the big
Republican states east of the Missis
sippi river, notably in New York, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania, have shown
a return of Republicans to the fold
and restoration of the old-time Re-
publican majorities, which justifies the
prediction that they will be safely in
the Taft column in November. That
they will so unanimously support any
other Republican candidate, particular
ly if the third term issue is injected in
to the fight, is denied by the best in
formed leaders in those states.
AS to the nomination there is no
longer the least doubt that President
Taft will have a majority Of the dele
gates both from 1the north and the
south. New England will be practical
ly, if not entirely, solid for him. He
will have sweeping victories in New
York, Pennsylvania and the other
middle Atlantic states. Ohio has never
yet failed to support favorite-son
candidate for president. Indiana, Illi
nois, Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, Kan
sas, Nebraska, South Dakota and Okla
homa of the middle western states will
all have. their quota of Taft delegates
in the convention, four of them having
already instructed delegates in some
districts for the president. The
southern states will be almost mani
nous in their support of the president,
while in Utah, Montana, Idaho, Colora-
do, Wyoming, Arizona and the Pacific
coast states thSre is every assurance
of solid \ delegations Present in
dications point only to a scattering OPP
position to President Taft's renomina-
| ton.

Taft the Progressive.

Progressive versus radical, progress
sive versus reactionary-this is the
viewpoint presented of the candidacy
respectively, OF President Taft and
Colonel Roosevelt in the address OF
Secretary of War Stimson before the
Taft Club of Illinois. Mr.. Stimson de
clared he was for Taft because Taft
had carried out the progressive poll
cies of the Republican party. Sound
reason this! 1t is incontrovertibe as
well. The secretary of war acknowl
edges that he entered public life un
der the influence OF Theodore Roose
velt, and remains his sincere friend !;
but this does not avail to separate
him from loyalty and faith in Taft as
the true Republican constructionist
In this attitude Mr.. Stimson has the
company of many other eminent He
publican friends OF the former prest
dent who would not support for mo
ment his declarations,

WHY "VICToRY" WAS DUSTY
Housemaid Feared Further Damage
to Statuette Already Subjected

A New York woman engaged new
housemaid the other day, and was
Immediately delighted at the exhibit
ton of the new servants efficiency.
Norah waited on the table with per-
feet mastery; she answered the front
doorbell with matchless grace; she
never once grumbled when told that
she must wear cap; her busting was
a marvel of orderliness.
But the mistress of the apartment
was astonished, when the new maid
had been in the house about week,
to find that her cherished "Victory OF
Samothrace" was covered with dust.
The beautiful headless body stood
gray and unlovely on It's pedestal, and
the "Victory's" owner called Norah to
see what the matter might be.
II can't understand this, Norah,' y
she said. Everything else is kept
SO spotless. How have you happened
to neglect the little statue. Have you
busted it at all?"
Norah admitted that she had not

1.-THE Spring Maid" comes to the Val
entine Theater for an engagement OF
shree nights and matinee begin
ming Monday, March %.
Cleanliness and simplicity seem
to have been the watchword for the
Spring Maid" authors. The romantic
story interpersed with bright comedy
lines, 10 one of the most pleasing
that the public has been offered in
many years. Briefly, it deals with
the fiirtatous love affair of the Prin-
cess Bozena (Miss Gene Luneska)
and the dashing prince Aladar. The
Princess, in order to mete out well
deserved punishment to the Prince
who has made disparaging remarks
regarding the women in her station,
masQuerades as a peasant, complete
ly capturing his heart. When she
has him over heels in love with her,
she spurns him only to find that she
herself is in love with the royal fiirt.
OF course, she finally consents to be
come his wife, and all ends happily.
Through the entire action of the
play, Miss Luneska fits like joyous
sunbeam spreading happiness to all
who watch her work. She seems
born to the part of the Princess and
fills the role with incompatible
charm and sweetness, while Leo
Stark, as Roland, gives one of the
quaintest and at the same time, ap-
pealing examples of comedy work
seen in years.

SWALLOWS ARE VERY BoLB

Electric Light Lamp. 5=..@.

A very curious instance of boldness
In swallows was recorded in 1886
from Csylon. In this case the birds
built over lamp in the dining room;
what made their choice of site more
remarkable was the fact that the
lamp could be raised or lowered by
counter weights and the connecting
chains auctually passed through the
mud walls Of the nest.

ing site which invites comparison with
the boldness of the robin In July last
pair OF swallows took advantage OF
the open window of an unoccupied
bedroom in a house at Felmersham in
Bedfordshire to begin building their
nest on the curtain rod of the bed.
The return of the owner of the
house and his occupation of the bed
did not in the least disturb or alarm the
birds, which completed the nest and
brought off three nestlings within
seven weeks of the house owners re.
turn. They took no notice of the oc-
cupant Of the bed when flying in and
out of the window feeding their
young; but the hen bird would fly of
the nest If any one entered the room

Famous Snuff Takers.

custom was general among all classes

themselves carried their own boxes
and interchanged pinches with the gen

after the cloth was removed snuff
boxes were passed around. Pope and

Powder Mil Precautions.

powder mill Is spark Of FIRE. To
avoid that the utmost precautions are
taken. In the first place, the plant is
located 50 far from a railroad track
that spark from passing locomo-
tive can never reach it.. The grass
and weeds are not permitted to grow
high enough around it so that when
they become dry fire could reach the
plant by that means. Strangers are
kept off the grounds. Smoking is not
permitted in or near the plant. The
workmen are not permitted to carry
matches. They are not allowed to
wear shoes with pegs or nails in them.
They wear powder boots" made with
soft soles that have no pegs or nails
In them. An iron nail in boot sole
might strike a spark on the door.
Iron Is not permitted to touch iron on
the plant. This is one inflexible law
of all powder mills. The hammers
that are used are all of wood or brass
or copper. which cannot strike spark
