the President say the western pri-
maries as rule are showing that the
third term candidate is destined to
find a very great difference between his
candidacy for the republican nomiation

the early stages of the campaign, fol-
lowing the republican national con-

According to the White House views
the republican organizations throughout
the country will remain intact 1t is
understood around the White House that
the national committee will continue
awhile longer to let Roosevelt and Wilson

train the heavy republican batteries until
the last few weeks Of the campaign. The

Policemen Fail to Act.

Fifty Baltimore policemen, sent to the
track yesterday to enforce by wholesale
arrests of bookmakers the determination
of Gov. Goldsboroueh and Attorney Gen
cral Poe to stop alleged illegal gambling
on the races, failed to accomplish their
purpose.
Racing was continued, to an accom-
paniment of betting, in which even some
of the Baltimore policemen indulged, and
the entries for today's races were an
nounced, in the expectation that inter-
ference would be prevented.
1.-The question at issue now" said At
torney General Poe, in Baltimore, lis be-
tween the state on one side and the Off
GERS Of the race track association and
the bookmakers and gamblers to whom
privileges have been granted, on the
other side. In such a case the state can
not back down, and 1t is justified in call
ing to its aid all the forces at its
command
Sheriff and Court Obstacles.
Sheriff W. l.. Clark and Judge Will
liam II. Harlan OF the Hartford county
court proved the human obstacles to
the governors attempt to halt gam
bling. The former refused to make ar
rests himself. except under written or
ders, accompanied by warrants assured
by a court. and refused as we'll to
deputize the fifty policemen, without
which authority they could not make
arrests.
States Attorney Royston Sitter re-
quested by Gov. Goldsborough to take
personal charge of the prosecution of
bookmakers. declined to leave the court
in Belair. the county seat. citing an
order Of Judge Harlan that he continue
the trial Of a case in the judges court
instead of needing the governor. the
crowded condition of the docket be-
ing the reason assigned for refusal to
grant the states attorney leave Of abb
Sence.
The Baltimore policemen. under COM
mand of Deputy Marshal Manning, had
expected the sheriff to meet them and
swear them in as deputies When he
did not arrive they were helpless. and
were forced to content themselves with
asking the names of bOokmakers and
bettors. Fictitious names were given
in many instances.

THINK IT STRONG FACTOR
Believe People Will Be Against
Change of Administration.
SITUATION LIKE THAT OF 1896
Interesting Incident in Kansas City
Told-President Leaves
for New York.

President Taft's unfailing optimism was
very apparent to his visitors during his
days stay in Washington, which ended
this morning
He regards business sentiment as the
most trustworthy of political harometers.
The President and all his advisers are
confident that one Of the strongest factors
favorable to him in the present contest is
the abundant and general prosperity of
the country. They are counting heavily
on a crystaliZation of public sentiment
within the next few weeks. which shall
demand that the conditions attending
prosperity shall not be changed.
AS the time Of election draws near, they
argue. popular realization of prosperous
conditions will develop into tense anx-
iety that prosperity continue.
They take the view that the election
of Woodrow Wilson as the executive or
the Baltimore platform would alarm
business men everywhere, while the
triumph of Roosevelt, with his hunger
for power. would inject an element or
uncertainty into the business world
from which it has been free during the
Taft administration.
The President continues to believe,
his visitors declare. that the solid busi-
ness sense of the country has been
friendly to him. not including such IN
terestS as are represented oy the trusts.
1t is said to be the purpose of MI
Taft if he remains in office, to bring
about a legislative readjustment OF the
trust question which will, on the one
hand protect the people against the
possibilities of monopoly ana, on the
other hand. enable big business to De
carried on without the Generalization
that would certainly result from un-
wisely drastic legislation.

Compared to 1896.


The political situation is, in sense.
analogous to that of 1896 when Bryan
was the democratic candidate against Nc
kinley according to Mr.. Taft's view. Bad
crops had united with threatened free
trade to bring about hard times. and the
country was hungry for return of pros
perity 1t was generally believed that
the repeal of the Wilson tariff act OF 1884
and a return to high protection would
bring back good times. The country
elected Mckinley by an overwhelming
vote and simultaneously business began
to improve and before long prosperity was
again in full swing. 1t has remained un-
broken ever since. save for the brief
furry known an the ''richman'S panic" in
the last year Of the Roosevelt administra-
tion
The era of prosperous conditions ap-
pears to have reached its climax at the
present time, republicans declare. While
prices are high, they are an outgrowth
of many causes and wages are higher
than ever before. More people are EN-
plOyed. they say, and at better wages.
than ever before in the history of the
country To continue Taft means to con-
tinue prosperity. in the opinion Of the
thousands of correspondents who con-
tribute to swell President Taft's mail.
hence. the Taft supporters say, the basis
of Mr.. Taft's confidence that the sober
second thought of the country. maturing
between now and election day, will re-
elect him.

FLAGS OF ADmIRALs.
Rank reid by The Stars and Seniority
by the coicrs.

Rank Told by the Stars and Seniority
by the ccicrs.
In old sea stories one occasionally
comes upon the term admiral Of the
blue. red or white. In bygone days the
color OF an admirals Gag proclaimed
his rank. Now II denotes bis seniority.
Hence 1t comes about that an admiral
must carry three personal Gags liz his
locker.
There are three grades Of admiral
admiral. vice admiral and rear admi-
raj At one time commodore made
kind OF half admiral. but that grade
has now been abolished.
The rank OF an admiral Is made plain
to all seafaring persons by the num-
Der Of stars on the flag hoisted at his
foremost head. Thus four stars show
an admiral three a vice admiral and
two q rear admiral This Is simple
enough. but the harassing question
arose. What II two admirals. two vice
admirals or two rear admirals should
happen to sail into port. each with a
squadron? What, indeed, IL three ad-
mirals. and so forth. should appear on
the same scenel How could any one
distinguish between them? Some in
nocent governor or mayor returning a
visit Of courtesy might call upon the
junior first. and that would be bad
blunder.
To obviate such a mischance It is
now the custom for admirals to mark
their seniority by the color OF their
1ags. Thus If three rear admirals
happen into a port the senior flies a
blue flag with two stars. the second a
red flag with two stars and the junior
a white dag with the same constella-
ton. If the senior should leave port
first the second promptly hoists his
blue flag and the Junior the red. Then
IL the second admiral steamed away
the junior would hoist the blue flag for
all the personal satisfaction there was
in it.
But here a serious question comes
up. Suppose In the meantime fourth
rear admiral appeared on the scene
Then, as q naval authority explains,
the situation for the respective flag
lieutenants would become complicated
There would be two rear admirals OF
the white. one senior to the other, yet
so far as naval etiquette goes. indis
tinguishable in flag sense even to ar
able seaman.
OF course this is not very likely tC
happen except where the fleets of sew
eral nations gather. Then there would
be tremendous scramble to hunt VI
dates Of promotion. because the flae
lieutenant who carried his admiral of
to call upon a junior would thereaftel
