TURN ON THE HEAT.

Backward. turn backward. oh, time in
your flight,
And give me July again just for tonight;
Soften the ground where the frost king
has lain,
On, let me hear one mosquito again.
l am so weary of snowdrifts and ice,
Weary OF paying the coal trust its price;
Weary, SO weary of frost bitten pie
Give me a slice of the Fourth of July.
Backward, swing backward, oh, season of
snow
Mercury fifty or sixty below.
Turn on the heat of the tropical zone;
Roast me until am cooked to the bone.
l am so tired of freezing my nose,
Weary of chilblains and corns on my
toes;
Weary of trying to sleep with cold feet.
Turn on the heat, oh, turn on the heat.

OF course, the fact that President
Taft has ten Michigan delegates in
structed for him to four that have been
instructed for Mr.. Roosevelt is without
political significance. 1t is only when
Mr.. Roosevelt wins majority of the
delegates from any state that great po-
litical significance attaches to such an
outcome. And Michigan, too, is one of
those states that is burdened with one
of the seven governors who have been
occupying such a conspicuous place of
late as poor political prophets.

FROM OTHER PENS
CLEAN, MANLY SPORT.

There took place on the Thames
recently the annual boat race between
crews representing the universities or
Oxford and Cambridge. The incidents
and circumstances connected with it
merit attention in this country.
The race was started in water so
rough that the Cambridge boat was
swamped when half way over the
course, and the crew were compelled
to swim ashore. Oxford, in a more
favorable position, was swamped also
when it reached the three-quarters
mark. But the boat was near shore
and the crew hauled it out and freed
it of water. They could easily have
completed the race and won, but as
their competitors were out of it they
declined to do so. The race was roWed
again later and won and lost on merit
Oxford and Cambridge have con-
tested for supremacy on the water for
many years, with varying fortune.
But after each race there has been
no attempt by the losers to ascribe
their defeat to coaching methods,
stroke or design of boat. The condi-
tions governing the races have been
constant. A certain standard of boat,
training and Craftsmanship has been
adhered to. The result is that victory
is won only by superior strength
stamina and skill, and is so regarded.
Is there not something in this
worthy the attention of those who di-
rect college athletics in this country ?

OYSTERS ON THE SHELL.

Some over-sensitive sentimentalistS
have recently protested against the
inhumanity of eating raw oysters, on
the theory that the bivalves thus eat
en- are subjected to unnecessary pain
which might be lessened by first de-
stroying the oyster life by some easier
form of death. These persons should
be reasured by the statement of a
London physician, who says there Is
no reason for organizing societies for
the prevention of cruelty to oysters.
as has been done in Alabama. He
declares that 1.-The nervous organism
of an oyster is such that human mag
nation cannot conceive for him
pleasanter death than to be eaten
raw" If this statement be accepted
as approximately accurate the most
sensitive lover of oysters on the shell
should not only not undergo any men
tai anguish as he swallows the sue
culent bivalves, but should have his
palatal pleasure enhanced by the re-
Election that he is also contributing
to the unspeakable enjoyment of the
oysters-Nashville Democrat.

TO SHOW CHESAPEAKE DOGS.

Baltimore, March 13.-Chesapeake
bay dogs will be a feature of the
Maryland bench show to be held
during the latter part of this week.
This breed is peculiar to Maryland,
and there are not very many even in
the state of which it is a native. The
show committee, by Offering a special
trophy, hopes to cause a revival of in
terest in this breed of canine.
According to experts, the most dis
tlnctive mark of a pure-blooded Chesa-
peake dog is his deep ember-colored
eyes, ulike those of any other variety
of bowwow. He has a dark, reddish
brown colored coat, something like a
setter and is what known as water
dog"
In view of the fact that the Demo
cratic candidate for the Presidency

of Champ Clark expect to introduce
something sensational in way of a
"houn dog" Many animals from 9th.

be the great day of the exhibition,
when it is expected that many dog low

10 per cent in the profits of the COM

delicate and pale all spring, owing to
rundown health and poor blood But
since taking Vinol my health has been
built up splendidly and | have recov-

The very best spring medicine you
can possibly get is Vinol, our deli
cious cod liver and iron preparation
without oil, because it not only pur-
ifies the blood but builds up flesh
and strength and makes quantities of
rich new blood.

that it must please you or cost you

better than you have felt for years.

Washington, d. c., March 13.-HoW
to win back the farmer vote is a prob
lem that is giving President Taft his
greatest concern. He realizes that his
advocacy of reciprocity with Canada
alienated thousands of farmers of the
North, West and Northwest, and that
their support is needed to secure him
the nomination, no one knows better
than the President. The bulk of the
Republican farmers didn't like Mr..
Taft's reciprocity stand, and they
have not been slow in voicing their
objections. Tons of letters have come
to the President and to Congressman
from the disaffected districts, making
this disapproval clear Finally it
dawned upon the President that some
thing must be done, and done quickly,
to keep this big farmer vote out of the
Roosevelt fold.
Taft adherents in states where the
former vote is strong are now giving
the Presidents candidacy first aid
In an effort to keep this vote in the
stalwart ranks. In defence of the
President, his friends are sending out
Statements showing that his position
on reciprocity was identical with Col
Roosevelt's. They also point out the
complimentary things said by the Col
onel about the President particularly
with reference to reciprocity, before
their break. Speeches and articles by
Z Col. Roosevelt in which he preached
the open door with our Canadian
neighbors also are referred to.
Senator Townsend, of Michiganis to
be one of the Taft mainstays in sooth-
ing the farmers. In a talk at the
White House yesterday, he declared
that sentiment in his state was rapid
ly veering around to Taft, whereas
six weeks ago Roosevelt seemed to
have the voters clinched
"The change of sentiment in favor
OF President Taft has been marvel
GUS" said Senator Townsend PRO
fessional and business men as we'll as
farmers now find more to object to in
Roosevelt's Columbus speech than in
Taft's reciprocity stand"
The Taft people also look to Sen
ator McCumber, of North Dakota, to
do something to mollify the farmers,
but the Senator is wisely keeping out
of the fight. His position is somewhat
delicate because he has both the farm
ers and the miller to satisfy. His
farming constituency are dead against
reciprocity, while the milling interests
favor the admission of milling wheat
free of duty. Between the two he has
enough burdens to carry, consequently
he is not eager to carry those of an
other.
