TAFT MAY LOSE OHIO.

Most interesting changes in the vote from 1908 are shown in the test ballots. Ohio is lively state. All reports show that if the Bull Moose candidate can show as much strength in November as he develop ed at the recent primaries. Presi- dent Taft will lose his native state. While. at the present time Ohio should be placed among the doubt ful states. it appears that Governor Wilson has the better of the con test there There. as in all states near the northern border line. the farmers are very hostile to the president

 ROOSEVELT PULLS FROM TAFT
 New Jersey and Delaware are, through the straw votes and the special canvasses made through a large corps of men. placed in the Wilson column.
 Figures obtained in the voting contest show that the Bull Moose of his strength from the Republicans. They show that Governor Wilson is winning more from the Republican than he is losing to the Bull Moose ticket For instance. while 4150 Republicans who four years ago Vot- ed for Taft this year will. according to their statements, vote the Bull Moose ticket. only CTS Democrats will swing to the Bull Moose. Debs loses twenty to the third ticket. Out of 24,S95 votes boiled in the eleven states named the Republican loss from 1908 is 5997, while the Demo cratic gain over 1908 is 2.254.
 Should the ratio thus far shown in the voting contests continue, it would indicate that Governor Wilson would carry more states than ever before were carried by presidential candidate. It should be pointed out, how ever. that the ballots have not yet been taken in some parts of the country, where the president is regarded as strong.
 Maine shows tendency to be for Wilson. Connecticut seems at the present moment almost certain for the New Jersey governor Vermont and Rhode Island are in the balance, both with Wilson tendencies.

CAN NOT UNDERSTAND VERMONT
To the Editor Of the Free Press:

since the first election OF Lincoln.
And to dispossess the Republican party
of control for the sake Of giving third

ofIiceholder and feeder at the public crib!
II this man knew anything. or stood for
anything. that no other man knew or
stood for; II there were reforms or ameli-
orations that only he could achieve. even
then It would hardly Re worth commit

THE REAL FRIEND.

II e'er find peoples friend,
Who does not brag about himself:
And doesn't seek some selfish end;
Is not acquiring wads Of pelf.
But strives in honor day by day
And always does the best he can
To smooth the rough and rugged way.
Der which must pass his fellow man,
I'll cling to him with all my might.
And sing his praises as 60.
His speech will not be stale and trite,
And In his eyes a light will glow.
He will not spend his days in ease.
While busy men are at their work.
Mounting the phrases thought to please
To hide the fact that he's shirk.
Nor will hts bank account grow fat
The while he fights the peoples cause.
He will not seek the glory that
Depends alone on mems applause.
But II he loves his fcllowmen.
And tolls for them. he will not care
That he must labor often when
There's neither cheers nor spotlighti
glare.
Too many pose as public friends
who merely work their tireless java
And use, to cover selfish ends.
The mantle Of the peoples cause.
Too many drop all useless work
To thrive upon this empty plea,
That all the burdens now that irk
Some day they'll take from you and
me.
A peoples friend is one who strives
Without thought Of gain or fame.
To happier. better make our lives
Than what they We're before he came

THE FUNERAL IN JAPAN.

The world would be richer IL LAT
cadio Ilearn. the interpreter of the
Japanese, and more than the interpre-
ter. the artist, were alive and present
at the funeral Of Mutsuhito, late En-
peror of Japan. The report of those
remarkable obsequies BY Hearn
would have been valuable quite as
much for what 1t told us about our.
selves as for what it told us Of Japan.
We are prone to look upon our own
age and people and locality as II the
world began there and tapered off To
everything different, We are wont to
speak of Mutsunto as the Emperor Of
the era of enlightenment, for no
other reason than because during his
reign Japan became surprisingly Xix ,

BILE of knowing his own mental linri-

nothing but curious barbaric customs
