The Balance of Power.

The balance of power in naming
the next president now appears to be
in the hands of the special interests.
The crushing defeat of Taft now
appears to be foregone conclusion
which must be apparent to the
shrewd financiers who have domin-
ated the nations industries and poll
tics. His chances were desperate In
two handed game; but in a three
handed they dwindle to nothing,
with the earnest support OF the In
terests he might get Is to 100 elector-
al votes, but that is the limit of sane
estimating. Without such hearty
support he will get mere handful of
votes from four or five small, rock
ribbed stalwart states.
The contest for electoral votes is
between Wilson and Roosevelt. AS
the cards are now held, the special
interests have the balance of power
between the two. Will they see the
uselesssness of supporting Taft and
try to make the most of the bad sit
uation by throwing to the one OF the
two who is least offensive? If so
would they choose the devil or the
deep blue sea, from their standard
for estimating Roosevelt and Wilson.
II they throw to Wilson they face
the probability of democratic con-
gress in both houses as we'll as a
democratic president. They would
run imminent risk of tariff ripping
on a non-protective basis, which
would be very destructive to many

The Women With
The Baby

Mid the herd of human work
ers crowded on the car
All is selfshness and iostle,
making age and sex no
Men collapse in seats and
stay there, letting shrink
ing ladies stand
With a look of Indignation
and a strap in either hand
Yet there's one thing that
you've noticed, never fails
to make a stir,
When a woman with a baby
comes they all make
room for her.
Once I dreamed I stood in
heaven, just inside the
pearly gate,
While to every new arrival
good ST. Peter said /:
ssYou're late;
For the places are all taken
and the harps are all in
use.
Golden streets are just so
crowded that I had to
call a truce.
Then a little, tired out wo-
man lugged a baby into
view,
And ST. Peter said, "We're
full up, but we'll make a
place for you.''

1t is hardly to be doubted that
such republican bosses as Barnes and
Penrose will favor standing by Taft,
even though he has no chance WHAT
ever. They now have more complete
control of the republican organiza-
tion than they have had heretofore.
Hence they would be in position to
get whatever might come to the
party, and to dictate the nomination
in 1916 as they did this year. They
would prefer TO see Wilson elected
rather than Roosevelt.
But the action of the big business
interests will not be taken SO much
with view to conserving the politi-
cal powers of the republican bosses,
as with view to protecting them
selves. The republican party and
bosses and Taft are nothing to them
II they can better conserve their In
terests by using the balance of power
which they now appear to hold. This
balance they may not have by election
time. 1t is quite possible that by a
vigorous campaign Roosevelt may
arouse the country to such an extent
that the massing of progressive votes
in his support will be so great that
the present apparent balance of pow
er will be taken from the special in
terests. In the present stage Of the
game, all estimates and conclusions
are necessarily doubtful, because OF
the possibilities OF the next four
months. But in the windup the in
terests viii use their power to protect
themselves rather than to conserve
the republican party.

Death of Mrs. ]. v. Conklin.


Canton was again. visited by the
angel OF death on Thursday, Aug. 18th
taking from our midst In the person
age of Mrs. j. V. Conklin one Of our
best known and most estimable ci IT,
ZenS.
Mrs. Ella Conklin was born near
Cedar Falls, Ia, on August 30. 1851.
While she was very young her parents
removed to Rockford, ILL.,, to the hom
Of her grandparents, her father having
enlisted in the Union Army, where
he lost his life. Her childhood was
lived in her grandparents home, but
later, her home was in Charles City,
Ia. There she was married to Chas.
r. Judd, Sept. %, 1881 and they came
Immediately to Canton to make their
home, and here she has since lived.
-Four sons and two daughters were
born to Them, all of whom are living
and were In the home at the time of
her death except one OF the little
daughters, who died In infancy. Mr..
Judd died Jan. 13, 1903
Mrs. Judd was married to Mr.. J. ".
Conklin OF Canton on June 25, 1909.
A few weeks ago Mrs. Conklin went
to Rockford, ILL.,, to visit her child
hood home and be present at a family
reunion. Tho seemingly In perfect
health, she was suddenly stricken
with what proved to be her
fatal Illness, for tho she rallied sum
clently to return to her own loved
home, she gradually sank and died %
3 a. M. Aug. 18th.
The high esteem iD which Mrs.
Conklin was held was made manifest
by the large number of sympathetic
and sorrowing friends who gathered
to pay their last tribute OF respect on
Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Conklin
was member of the Canton Baptist
ch, In which church she shall be
greatly missed. Her interest In all
christian work led her to be ever
present and others TO recognize In her
both competent authority and an
able leader. The vacancy caused by
her removal cannot be easily filed.
ST e was buried in Forest Hill Gene
terry beside her first husband Mr.. G.
Judd. A large number of friends
gathered around the grave and with
sad hearts we're loathe to leave at the
conclusion of the service. The great
number and beauty Of floral tributes
spoke In no uncertain sound OF appre-
citation of the wife, mother and friend
departed.

PRIZE PUMPKIN HINT
Prize Taken For Best Way
to Make Fine
Pies.

Every week the Milwaukee Free
Press gives prizes for seasonable sug-
gestions. For the fourth time Mrs. III.
K. Page has taken the first prize.
The asst reads as follows:
This Hint Takes the So Prize.
W. love pumpkin pies, especially
whe. there is not An abundance of
tree truit. We have tried all modes
of drying but no plan we think is
equal to this:
Take the ripe pun pkins, pare, cut
into small pieces, stew soft, mash and
strain through q colander as if for
making pies. Spread This pulp on
plates in layers not quite az inch
thick; dry it down in The stove oven,
kept at so low a tenn parature AS not to
scorch it. In about lay it will be-
come dry and crisp. The sheets thus
made can be stored a way ready for
use for pies or for sauce Soak the
pieces over night in little milk, and
they will return to nice pulp, as
delicious as the fresh pumpkin-we
think much more so. The quick
drying after cooking prevents any
portion from slightly sourlng, as is
always the case when the uncooked
pieces are dried; the flavor is much
better preserved and the after cooking
is saved. Try the above method and
YOU will become a great lover of pun
kin pie all the year round.
