JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY.

1t is said that the poet will not
tell how old he is, but away back
when he did tell We find he was
born in 1883. He has often been
called the Hoosier Poet because he
was born in the Hoosier state. In
many of his poems he affects the
booster dialect. which, by the way,
il spoken in many other states be-
sides Indiana
Whitcomb Riley has been called
the most popular American poet OF
the day, His love Of little children
and loyalty to his friends. is evident
and the tenderness OF a great heart,
keen insight and appreciation OF
| lif. constantly sparkles forth. His
poem, 'Loekerbie Street" ION which
he lives in Indianapolisl, is express
| i've:
such dear little street it is, nestled
away
From the noise of thu city and heat
| of the day.
In cool shady coverts Of whispering
trees,
With leaves lifted up to shake hands
with the breeze,
(which, in All of its wonderines
never may meet
| With a resting place fairer thar
| Lockerbie street?
There is such a relief, from tn,
clsngor and din
OF the heart Of the town, to go lott
er:ng In
Through the dim narrow walks, will
the sheltering shade
OF trees waving over the long prom
enade,
And littering lightly the WAYS o
our feet
WITH the gold of the sunshine o
Locker bic street.
And the nights come down the darl
pathways Of dusk.
With the stars in their tresses, an
odors of musk
In their woven raiments, be
spsngled with dews,
And topped M with lilies for Low
ers to use
In the songs that they sing to tn
tinkle and beat
OF their sweet serenadings in Lock
erbie street
O MY Lockerbie street. You are fa
to be seen
Be it noon of the day, or the raj
and serene
Afternoon of the night-you are OF
TO my heart,
And love You above all the phras
of art.
For no language could frame and I
lips could repeat

sUFFRAeIsTs AT CHICAGO
Women Held Meeting to Celebrate
Conversion Of Roosevelt

Chicago, June 17-Suffragists at a
meeting held here yesterday in hec-
ognition of Col. Roosevelt's announc-
ed stand in favor of woman suffrage
heard from Judge Ben b. Lindsey OF
Denver how the former president told
the judge Of his position. II was
Judge Lindsey who made the public
statement that the colonel would IA
yor equal suffrage. THE minute
mentioned woman suffrage to him his
teeth came together with a click,
said Judge Lindsey. "Then he said
I am for woman suffrage without any
qualification whatsoever Knowing
that | was telling the truth and that
there was no danger of my being put
in the Ananaias club, broke the
news to the press
Clifford Pinchot also spoke. He pre-
dicted that under the leadership OF
Roosevelt the corrupt element would
be driven out OF politics. Mrs. Fred
erick Nathan, president of the consul
mers league of New York, said she
had made an unsuccessful attempt "a
interest William Barnes, Jr., in equal
suffrage. "He informed me he did
not approve OF equal suffrage she
said Had | not become so polite
by association with politicians
would have told him he was just the
kind OF man We expected to be oppos
ed to our cause" Mrs. Catherine
Waugh Mccullough praised Senator
La Toilette and President Taft as
friends OF woman suffrage.

c |RCUS IN TOWN
TODAY DRAWS
BIG CROWD
DOwnie & Wheeler Shows Are
Above the Average.
SHOW IS MOST ORDERLY
No Reports Of Trouble Because Of
Circus Being in Town--Bip Crowd
This Afternoon

The Downie & Wheeler circus ar
rived In town Sunday morning early
and spent Sunday here. The show is
on the Morgan lot on upper Main
street and the place was visited by
hundreds Sunday afternoon. ~
The street parade this forenoon was
very good indeed and the big tent was
filled for the performance this after
noon.
Long before ten o'clock the streets
were lined with an anxious throng,
awaiting the parade, and shortly be-
fore noon it left the grounds and
passed through Main street and 1t
proved to be a most imposing show
ing of horses, ponies, fine wagons,
wild animals, clowns, etc. There
we're two good bands and a steam cal
Hope. The outfit was clean and up
to date in every particular. There
we're elephants, camels and various
other animals on foot and in cages
and all were in fine condition, and the
horses were splendid animals. Train
ed ponies and dogs that mostly work
ed together was one Of the features
of the show and to see those alone
was worth the price of admission but
the entire performance was OF high
class and clean throughout.
Another feature of the show was
the total absence of fakirs or gam
bling OF any nature and the quiet and
gentlemanly conduct of all connected
with it, There was no disorder mol
loud talk, two features that were free
ly commented on by all who attended
The second performance takes
place this evening at o'clock. but
the side show and other features viii

cations are divided even where they
have been pledged or instructed and
each side is hustling for. recruits with
more or less success. This uncer-
tainty must continue until the actu-
al vote on the presidential nominees
takes place.
or course, the atmosphere will be
much cleared by the roll call and vote
on temporary organization, for II Taft
has substantial majority Their his
friends will control and his nomina-
ton is practically assured. If he los
es the convention on temporary Or
ganization, which 1t is practically GER
tain that he will not, his chance OF
victory will be as good as gone. If
the vote on temporary organization is
close 1t will be hard to figure out how.
the candidates will fare when the bal
loting for the presidential nomina-
ton begins.
Estimates of the vote are being
made. Manager Mckinley OF the
Taft forces says. Taft will have $50
OF the 1918 votes on the first ballot,
or so more than he needs. Other
Taft leaders positively say that he
will have a majority Of more than
25 on the first ballot.
The Roosevelt leaders positively
say that they have won over sixty-two
delegates, enough to nominate the
colonel on the first ballot, but they
do not give figures, and, in fact, have
refrained from doing SO from the
start.
The most careful canvass that the
New York Times has been able to
make states that Taft has major
ity, but a very small one. Taking 1t
for granted that the Roosevelt lead
ers are right when they have announ-
ced today the winning over Of twelve
Taft delegates, one of them being
Timothy l.. Woodruff Of New York
and the rest being mostly Southern
negroes, Taft would still seem to have
544 delegates standing by him, re
four more than majority.
Predictions based on such close
margin as that are out Of the ques
ton.

There were others among the
Roosevelt supporters who declared
there would be no occasion for

ton within convention" They bas-
ed their claim upon reported deser-
tons among the Taft delegates aud
the belief that the colonel would con-
troll the situation in the convention
proper.
The situation continues to hinge
upon the action Of some southern del.
egates. They appear to hold the bal

are made OF their support. Both sides
plainly were anxious over the situa-

what could be depended upon. The

SCHENECTADY sWAMPEo
Bennington Team Fattens Batting
Averages and Wins 20 to- 5

After being disappointed by two
travelling teams who had made par
tial arrangements to play at Morgan
park Saturday afternoon the local
management was forced to schedule
an aggregation of ball players from
Schenectady. There were several
familiar faces in the lineup OF the
visiting team, players who we're con-
sidered good In the days when Ben
nington played "semi-pro" ball.
They were woefully outclass-
ed however, when pitted
against the machine that has
two years and were defeated by a
score of 20 to 5. The score
