CEditor's Note.-This article is writ
ten by a correspondent who IS person
ally investigating political conditions IN
the central and southern states, partlc-
ularly the latter, wherein President art
expects TO poll a solid convention vote
in his fight for the denomination. The
situation is reviewed from a strictly
non-partisan viewpoint)
BY v. v. McNITT.
Chicago, Feb. 29.-Illinois at this
date is a very much split-up state, po-
litically, at least as far as the repub-
licans are concerned The fight has
SO many angles that not much more
may be ventured than this:
Roosevelt has the popular majority
while Taft at the moment has slightly
better than an even break for a ma
jority of the delegates. The democrats
are likely to make themselves felt this
year.
Governor Deneen is campaigning
now for denomination, but his row will
be far from an easy one to hoe. In the
field against him are Len Small, candi
date of the Lorimer crowd; Walter c
Jones, a LaFollette progressive, and
John E. Wayman, states attorney who
prosecuted the legislative Jackpot
cases. Jones and his supporters are
trying to hook up to the Roosevelt
kite. The Lorimer patriots are loudly
exhorting the people in the name o.
Lincoln to beware of all radicals ant

GRANVILLE, March samuel Al
schuler, democratic candidate for
nomination as governor, wound up
busy day with a speech delivered
at the opera house here. The peo-
pie of Illinois, he said, ARE be-
ing treated to the remarkable spec
tacle of republican oficeholders who
have been on the inside of all the
knavery, all the trickery, all the per-
version of the peoples will during
repeated republican administrations,
touring the state in eager endeayors
to tell all they know. We need not
question that they know all about it
because they eonnived at it. We can
only wonder how much remains to be
| told, how much that the people
should know is still being held back.
1t is true they seem confidently 10
expect such q reward, but I have con-
fdence in the peoples sense of Jus
tice and right and ! am assured that
/ the voters OF Illinois will make
answer to these interesting revela-
tons at the polls in November by
restoring the state to a triumphant
democracy"

WAS AFRAID OF EXCITEMENT
Reasons Advanced by Man Who
Wanted to Get OFF Bond Of
Mail Contractor.

The departments in Washington re-
ceive some queer letters. Below is
given verbatim letter received last
November by the bureau that has
charge of the bonds of mail con-
tractors, from a man who wished to
get off bond. 1t is unique. The last
sentence contains a valuable sugges-
ton to others who dislike to receive
disagreeable news, especially on bust
ness matters. The letter tells how he
signed the bond merely to oblige a
friend and then continues with this
personal history:

Don't Be a powdy.

The best-dreHsed woman is not nee.
essarily the one who spends the most
money. Time, thought, and taste tell
to the advantage of dress. Those who
persist in speaking Of carelessness In
dress as If 1t were a merit are greatly
mistaken. To be pleasingly, though
not deliberately dressed, and as attrac-
tive as she may be, is every woman's
duty, and the dress that suits the oc-
casion confers dignity upon the wear

MONEY THAT WENT BEGGING
One Of the Most Curious Cases in the
History Of the chaneery
Courts.

Perhaps there is no more curious
chapter in the history Of the chan
Gerry courts than that Of two Pitts
burgh men. The first had claim to
a small estate abroad, but he did not
have the money to pay the claim
agency to make a search. So he got a
friend to back him. This friends
name was Peterman, and the money
he advanced was like grubstake-he
was gambling on hts friends claim
proving up. One day, when Peterman
was at the clafm-agency Office, he
came upon this advertisement in the
agency files: -Peterman (Albertus),
musician, born in Amsterdam, 1929,
son Of Charles Frederick and Henri
eta Susanna Gasman. Left for Liver.
pool, 1856. He Is sought for inheri-
tance by M. Contot. adxocat, 81 Bou-
ievard st. German, Paris" That was
the inception of the famous 'Kinsey
docks" case, the name coming from
the fact that the original Peterman
was last seen at the Kinsey docks in
Liverpool. The claim agency took the
matter in hand, traced Peterman's lin
cage back, and enabled him to estab-
lish good claim to an inheritance OF
100000. That was case OF fortune
being thrust upon a man.--Lewis Ed

oueza Of South Guatemala Takes
Beauty Prize Among Festhered
Creatures.

What Is considered the most beauti
full bird in the world Is the quezal, Of
Guatemala Until within the last few
years II was unknown to science
among the feathered creatures, de.
lighting in the silence Of high alti.
tudes. II dwells on mountain heights
above 1000 feet in elevation.
The quezal was the royal bird OF
the ancient Aztecs, and its plumes
were used to decorate the head.
dresses and cloaks Of their kings. The
quezal's breast is a brilliant scarlet,
while its green tail attains a length
OF three feet It IS about the size of
the common pigeon It nests in holes
in rotten trees, which II enlarges with
its bill so as to make roomy and
comfortable residence. The young
are Matched totally devoid of feathers.
It is the hardest of all birds to pre-
pare for mounting. for its skin is as
tender as SO much tissue paper, and
the feathers are implanted to such a
slight depth that they readily fall out
A specimen is very apt to be spoiled
by falling against a branch of tree
on being shot
Up to 1860, naturalists did not know
where the quezal was to be found
The few specimens which had fallen
into their hands had been obtained
from Indians, who kept the secret
About that time, however, a collector,
visiting that country, got on the track
of the birds and went up into the
mountains, where he shot number OF
them. In ancient times the skins of
all birds of this species belonged to
the king, and none but members of the
royal family we're allowed to wear the
feathers.
The quezal belongs to the family OF
tragons. the genus including forty-six
species, thirty-three of which are
American. All are very beautiful and
extremely rare.

The policy of developing southern
Nigeria by means of road-making has
resulted in the existence of several
hundred miles of roads suitable for
mechanical transport. Motor cars are

Gently acquired cars. In addition to

Several motor bicycles are used by

done to bring about more general
