Baltimore, May practically
complete returns from the Maryland
primary yesterday insure that Col.
Roosevelt will have the 16 votes
from this state in the Chicago con.
vention
Col. Roosevelts supporters have
elected sc delegates to the state con-
vention to SO for President Taft. The
vote by legislative districts is close
and the result was not known posi-
lively until this morning.
Roosevelt appears to have carried
the preference primary by major
ity in the state of 10000, and It may
be even more. He had majority OF
nearly 5000 in Baltimore, but though
Baltimore has nearly half the popu-
lation of the state, it elects only rs
out of 1919 delegates to the state con
vention.
The Democrats Endorsed ChamI

LEADE RSHIP.

Life is not a game OF chess.
which is won by the man who
can make the best calcula tons.
Now and then a man like Alex
ander or Napoleon possesses such
transcendent intellectual powers
that he can treat life as II 1t
were game and can dispose Of
nations and armies as though
they were mere castles or pawns
on his chessboard. hut neither
Napoleon nor an Alexander
was able to leave an enduring
empire. The men whose work
has lasted best are those like
Lincoln and Washington. like
Cromwell and william the ST.
lent-men differing greatly In in.
tellectual gifts. yet marked out
above all others by the habit OF
self command. Go back through
the list Of Christian heroes and
martyrs. back to Paul. back to
Jesus himself. and we find that
the thing that counted most in
their character and work was
that they had risen above the
distractions of success and fall
ure into a command Of their own
souls and that this gave them
command over the deeds and the
souls of Others.-President Had
