the very ease of 1t all stimulated en-.
deavor, and l conversed lightly with
Mabry over the ness table, and, when
the orderly returned with the neoes-
ssry pass, l was keen to start upon
my round Of inspection, utterly fos
getful of having been up and in saddle
all night. Msbry could not leave his
duties to accompany me, but cour-
teousiy furnished a fresh horse, and
assigned private OF dragons to
guide me about the city. By ten
o'clock we were of, my only fear be
ing tho possible meeting with some &C.
quaAntance.
In this. however. I was happily dis
appointed, as there were few civilians
on the streets, the throngs Of soldiers,
off duty for a holiday, with all discf-
pline relaxed, being boisterous, and
considerably under the influence OF
liquor. The uniform worn, together
with my dragon guard. saved me
from trouble, and / found the fellow
sufficiently intelligent to be Of value.
I dare not make notes, and yet recall
clearly even now the stations of the
troops, together with a clear mental
outline of the main defences of the
city. I made no attempt to pass be-
yond the limits, but, from statements
Of the Dragon, and various officers
with whom I ~conversed, mapped In
mind the entire scheme OF defense.
I visited a number Of these enCamD-
ments. finding in each merely a small
guard retained for the day, the major
ity Of the troops being off on liberty.
Soon after noon these began to throng
the water front, eager to view the
coming spectacle. l was, myself, in
the Yager's camp, finishing a late
lunch, with a few officers, when the
announcement came that the water
procession had started.

would mean when the votes are
counted can easily be imagined. il
is plain, therefore, that the Repub-
lican party is tied UP to President
Taft, regardless of whether or not
the rank and file of the voters want
him.
But there is one chance to escape.
This chance lies in the candidacy of
Theodore Roosevelt. To nominate
anyone besides Taft, with the single
exception of Roosevelt, would be to
repudiate, as we have said before,
the party's policies for the past four
years. The leaders could not ex-
plain their sudden change of atti-
tude. With Roosevelt as a candi-
date, however, his popularity alone
would overcome all other objections
JHdt uleul Ue Idlstu Iol luI h4uB
down Taft, and the rank and file
could be depended upon Il rally to
his support in the same old way.
The leaders could easily fall in
behind Roosevelt and urge his cleo
ton merely because he is Roose-
welt, a man in whom the people
have absolute confidence. To turn
down Taft and try to elect anyone
else besides Roosevelt would mean
that the party would have to repu-
date itself,
The situation then becomes plain
ly this: Taft cannot be elected if
he is renominated. 1t would be i'm
possible to take up a dark horse
and nominate him because of the
support the party has given the Taft
administration during the past four
years. Roosevelt could easily COM
mand a big majority Of the party
yote because of his own popularity
and the high opinion in which he is
held by the great masses of people.
Taft is impossible. With Roosevelt
the Republican party has its only
chance Of success,

THE SITUATION.

With the returns from Pennsyl-
vania backed by those from Illinois,
it becomes more and more evident
that President Taft will never be
elected President again even If he
should succeed in getting the nomin-
alton. 1t must be remembered that
besides Illinois and Pennsylvania,
two of the most important states in
the union, which have given their
vote for Roosevelt, there is Wiscon-
son and North Dakota both solid
for La Toilette. While they can
not be counted for Roosevelt in the
fight for the nomination the returns
show clearly that the voters of these
two states are Of the same opinion
as the voters of Illinois and Penn
~sylyania as far as the progressive
ideas are concerned. 1t is plain
that they are opposed to Taft, AS
the various primaries are held from
now en- it is becoming evident that
the rank and file of the Republican
voters throughout the country are
progressive. This means that they
will not stand for another four
years of Taft.
AS this becomes more evident the
leaders position becomes mor en-
barrassing. To turn down Presi-
dent Taft and nominate some one
else would be to repudiate the whole
party's policies for the past four
years. The party has stood back OF
the Taft administration for its
every act. The leaders have praised
him, and the President has beer
a faithful organization man. He
has done practically everything tina
the organization has asked him t.
do. What excuse, therefore, can the
organization offer for turning hin
down when he has served them 81
well? They would be in the ride
ulous position of going before TIT
public at the Presidential election
and telling the people that although
they have stood by the Presiden
for the past four years, they hav'
been all wrong. Just what TIL

Doctors Use This for Eczema

DR.. Evans, Ex-Commissioner of
Health, says: There is almost no
relation between skin diseases and
the blood" The skin must be cured
through the skin. The germs must
be washed out, and so salves have
long ago been found worthless. The
most advanced physicians of this
country are now agreed on this, and
are prescribing a wash of winter
green, thymOl and other ingredients
for eczema and all other skin. dis
eases. This compound is known as
Odd. Prescription for Eczema.
