Harmon Gets Praise.

Gov. Harmon received a boost from
Gov. War1eld Of Maryland yesterday.
Gov. Warfield said:
1t was great pleasure to me when I
saw that Gov. Harmon's name would be
before our voters in the coming primaries
and that his campaign would be vigo-
rously prosecuted in Maryland. To my
mind Harmon is the man Of the hour.

THE knowledge that Gov Wilson is the
only candidate who can win in November,
no matter whom the republicans nomi-
nate, Is bringing to the standard of the
New Jersey leader many men who. for

The sweep OF the Wilson success al

cratic voters love fighter. and that they
prefer q man who will be a candidate in
all parts OF the nation to those candi-

seek to gain advantage by pooling their
several local followings, realizing that
they are individually too weak to at
tempt nationwide campaign"

PREMIER BORDEN SPEAKS
Urges Continued Happy Relations Of
the United States Q
and Canada.

NEW YORK, April 26.-After a
strenuous day of the
shoulder attacks upon Col Roosevelt In
the Bay state President Taft delivered
q dinnerless after-dinner speech last
night to more than 500 newspaper pub
fishers, editorial and business workers
of the Associated Press and the Ameri-
can Newspaper Publishers Association
at their annual dinner at the Waldorf
Astoria.
Never before had the President
spoken quite so directly to the men OF
the press, for he conf1ded his speech d.
rectly into the private ear of each and
every one Of them, even though he.
physically, was not present at the din
ner at all. Physically President Taft
was in Boston. Thanks to the past per-
formances of DR.. Alexander Graham
Bell. inventor of the telephone, who
was at the guest table last night. the
President was able to make use OF the
ong-distance telephone, two wires OF
which had been set up specially be-
tween the Waldorf and the Arena In
Boston-one to carry the Presidents
voice to q telephone receiver at the
elbow Of each of the 500 diners, and
another, equipped with a telephone
magnif1er, in the balcony of the ban
quet hall. to carry back their applause
to him. And the wires did both.

At the guest table Of the dinner last
night Representative Victor Murdoch Of
Kansas, who. when he Is not In public
life is discussing it as publisher Of the
Wichita Eagle, sat as toastmaster, with
these speakers: Bruce Haldeman, presi-
dent of the American Newspaper Pub
fishers Association and publisher or the
Louisville Courier-Journal; Talcott VIII
liams. dean Of the Pulitzer School OF
Journalism: President John H. Finley Of

Similar telephone connection had been
established earlier in the evening between
the diners and Premier r. L. Borden OF
Canada, who was at Hot Springs, Va
The premier's voice was almost as clear
and distinct to the diners as the voices
Of Lewis Waller and Jose Collins, actor
and singer, who addressed the diners In

not quite so far away as Hot Springs. 1t
was distinctly q telephone evening for the
men Of the press.
President Taft may have had strenu-
Gus day of it attacking the colonel In the
Bay state, but he seemed in fine mood
and in his brightest humor as he twitted
the newspaper men over the telephone
from the safe distance of Boston.
Hello! Hello!' he shouted into the
ears of the 500 diners amid an utter ST.
lence Of the Waldorf ballroom. 'D y
, hear? D. y get me? Are you there?'
They were, and they told the President
so in thunders Of applause, duly and In
stantly transmitted to Boston. The
President chuckled like a big boy enjoy
ing new game. Then he talked his
speech into the weirdly unresponsive tel
ephone transmitter In the Bean city,
talking for the most part In q loud.
laughing voice, less like the President OF
the United States than like one Bill,
cheerfully shouting after one Teddy,
after tossing him across creek In
glorious fishing expedition that ended In a
fight. Time and again he had to stop,
as loud laughter and applause from the
Waldorf tables reached his ear In Boston.

Nearly every club has its literary So
ciety or discussion club. In these current
topics are taken up, essays are read and
lectures sometimes given For instance
the discussion club which met here last
Wednesday night had the topic, What Is
Happiness?" and that of Gatun discussed
what Is Failure?" while another So
ciety used the college Man"-as its sub
ject Of discussion. 1 doubt not the politi-
cal situation will be well canvassed at
these clubs. There are now one hundred
and fifty men enrolled in the dramatic
clubs, sixty in the camera clubs and there
are two hundred who serve on various
club committees. There are also Bible
study clubs which meet together on Sun
days and which work independent of the
churches.
Among the other institutions Of these
clubhouses are the barber shops and
pressing clubs. Good BARRIERS are a neces-
sty in the tropics and the men know that
they can find sanitary shops at the club
houses. Many of them pay SO much a
month to have their clothes pressed, the
BARRIERS and pressers bringing in some
thing of an income to the institutions
During my stay here 1 have had a chat
with Mr.. A. B. Dickson, who is the head
of the clubhouSes under the Isthmian
canal commission He was formerly the
financial secretary of the Odd street Y. M
c. A. in New York city. Among the ques
lions l asked were whether many young
men had been ruined by their life in the
Canal Zone. To this he replied:
II do not think SO. The inducements
to keep right are as strong here as in
any part Of the United States. Drunken

back troupe Of amateur Ministries Is
holding a performance. The men are
canal employees with BACKED faces. They
look like the old-time minstrels of the
United States, and do not wear satin suits
as in the new-fangled shows Of today.
The jokes contain many hits on local
matters, and bring down the house.
These minstrel shows are gotten up by
the secretaries of the clubhouses who
hunt out the best actors and bring them
together. A popular troupe Will go from
town to town, until it visits all the zone
settlements.
The band which is playing tonight be-
longs to the 10th Infantry. Next week
the music may be furnished by the ma
rines, or by the band of the isthmian
canal commission. The latter is sup,
ported by the government, which spends
something like $4,000 a year for music
alone. The Canal Commission Band gives
concerts all along the line of the zone.
Among other features of the clubhouse
entertainments are moving picture shows.
the machinery and films for which are
sent down from the states. These are
siders must pay % cents for each admis-
sion The pictures are carefully censored
and the men often bring their wives and
daughters to see them.

And then we have many lectures at the
clubhouses. We have frequent pubIc
debates and also high-class musical enter
tainments Last year there was an oper-
attic carnival made up of amateurs, which
played the various canal settlements, and

buildings. They have all the con-
veniences and comforts of our mems
clubs at home. These houses are great
payilions surrounded by wide verandas,
so that they are cool and airy. The walls
are yelled in woven wire netting to keep
out the mosquitoes, and everything is SO
large and roomy that it is cool day and
night All of the buildings have reading
rooms and libraries. They have pool
rooms and billiard rooms They have
bowling alleys and gymnasiums, as we'll
as rooms for checkers. chess and other
games Each house has it's own refresh
ment rooms, and in the lobby there are
cigar and candy stands.
Let us take a look at the clubhouse
here at Culebra. 1t stands high above
the great cut, and so commands it that
you can see for several miles the work
going on beneath you- The building is
about 200 feet long and so feet wide. We
go in through the wide front door. which
leads to the lobby or office, which is also
the library. The library contains about
1000 books. consisting largely of biogra-
ply and fiction, and is we'll patronized.
The books drawn out at Culebra this
month numbered 100. and those distribut-
ed throughout the whole zone were more
than 5000.
But listen to the music, 1t comes from
that photograph there at the right. On
the opposite side of the hall is an upright
piano, which we may hear later on.
Passing through the lobby we turn to
the right and go into the reading room.
This is filled with men in easy chairs
