THE REPUBLICAN FIGHT.

The Democrats in Washington are watching with a great deal oi interest the bitter fight between Roosevelt and Taft for the Repub- lican nomination. The fight has become so bitter that it's effects are bound to be felt when it comes to the election in the fall.
 Roosevelt entered the fight so late that President Taft had se- cured nearly enough votes to in- sure his nomination before the Roosevelt fight got a good start. However, the overwhelming victo- " that he won in Illinois and Penn sylvania has had the effect of dis couraging the renomination of President Taft. It is believed that if Roosevelt should win the nomination of president, the Taft people would knife him at the poles, thus insuring the overwhelm- ing election of a Democrat.

TO INCREASE PRESIDENTIAL TERM.

A bill has been introduced by Senator Works of California for ex- t nding the presidential term from 4 to 6 years. This is a bill that most everyone in this country, ex- eept politicians, would like to see passed and if the voters through out the country will continue to lombard with letters, we will soon be electing presidents only every 6 years and prohibiting them by law from serving more than one term. During a presidential year every business man must expect business to be slow and It is foolish for this country to indulge in so much politics when it gains noth- ing by it. but suffers a positive loss

Wilson's Faith In Publicity,

At all times and places, says a writer in Success, Woodrow Wilson has counselled opening our govern mental processes to the light. Thus at Minneapolis:
 "Every community is vaguely aware that the political machine upon which it looks askance has certain very def nite connections with men who are engaged in business on large scale, and the suspicion which attaches to the machine itself has begun to at tach also to business enterprise just because these connections are known to exist. If these connections were open and avowed, if everybody knew just what they involved and just what use was being made of the alliance there would be TO difficulty in keep ing an eye upon affairs and In con, trolling them by public opinion But, unfortunately, the whole process of law-making in America Is very ob- scure one. There is no highway of legislation, but there are many by. ways"
 At another lime he paid this hu. merous tribute to publicity:
 "There is one very disturbing qual. ity in man, and I have experience l 1t myself and I dare say you have When you are long way from home and see no neighbor from near your home you give yourself an extraor. dinary latitude in your conduct, but If you Were on the desert of Sahare and met one of your immediate neigh bors coming the other way on camel you wouli behave yourself until h , got out of sight,

CONFIDENCE IN TAFT LOST
Denomination of Present Chief Ex. ecutive Will Mean That Progress. sive Republicans Will Turn

BY HON. FRANK c. CANNON, Former United States Senator From
 IIfah

BY HON. FRANK G. CANNON, Former United States Senator From
 Utah.
 l have travelled in ten states since leaving Colorado a month ago. The cry of the Progressives in these states Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebras ka, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Iowa Illinois, Indiana and even Missouri is for LaFollette and Wilson. The Progressive Democrats want the Re publican party to nominate Robert M LaFollette for the presidency; so that If the Democratic party shall lose the People will win.
 And Progressive Republicans want the Democratic party to nominate Woodrow Wilson; so that-if the Re publican party shall lose-still the People will win.
 You will observe that the Progress. sive Dove has at last learned wisdom from that willy old Serpent, the Sys. tenn; whose favorite plan has been to 1elect both candidates, subscribe to both campaign funds and then let the People, in deadly earnest. fight useless battle.
 Personally, I fear that the Progress sive Republicans cannot control their convention.
 Republicans Playing Politics.
 The office-holding machine Is pow erful, insiduous, and experienced The Interests are desperately determined to prevent LaFollette term in the White House; and their financial aid makes the machine almost resistless. Frankly, do not believe in this talk of fatal breach between President raft and Big Business. On both sides 1t looks like a calculated quarrel, a melodrama played for national en- tertainment. The need of such an affectation of battle is too obvious Despite his earnest work, the peo- pie had no faith that President Taft would solve our vital problem and re- store the government to the custody of the people. A play was needed It is being played.
 But there remains Wilson, whose
 
 vention can only be prevented by in- sanity or perfdy-or both. OtLer candidates are able; they have sin cere advocates. But the Progressive Republicans-as well as the mass of Democrats-want Wilson nominated; :; and it is the Progressive Republicans whose votes will decide the issue.
 If Taft shall be the Republican nom- inee, Progressives of his party would turn almost en masse to Wilson and Wilson is the only possible Dem- ocratic nominee to whom they would thus turn. They will not leave Taft In order to vote for any Democratic ally of the Interests. They will not desert their own party to chance any humiliating experiment with the oth- CT. They want to preserve their self respect and at the same time per. form high public service.

It was probably some occult connec ton with this secret sorrow that led Nickell to do as he did little later. When he had left for business that morning Mrs. Nickell had reminded him that they were to have a small dinner party that evening and that he was to bring home some flowers.
 On his way for the flowers that night Nickell paused before the at tractive window of a big fruit store The window was work of art and in the center was a mound of the big gest, reddest, most luscious apples one might hope to see in a hundred years AS he gaZed Nickell had an inspira- tion Why would not a centerpiece of this fragrant fruit with a few ferns twisted in be far more original and artistic than the conventional flowers :?
 He went in and ordered two dozen of the apples. They made bulky package and he began to regret the purchase as he fumbled in his change pocket. How much?" he inquired.
 They are 20 cents apiece" said the clerk.
 Murder" cried ;ae startled Nick ell-and dropped the bag
 Bruised apples will not sell, the fruit store man firmly explained to Nickell, who insisted on returning his purchase when the fruit had been col. lected from all over the floor. So he paid the $4.S0.
 Nobody mentions apples in the Nick. ell family now.
