DEATH OF JUDGE r1ORGAN.

Judge David E. Morgan, whose
burial occurs at Spring Green Sunday
afternoon, was man who reflected
high honor upon his old home. By

JenKin Lloyd Jones and Child
Education.

Many of the modern methods of
developing children along physical
lines were criticised last night by
Jenkin Lloyd Jones of Lincoln CEN
ter, DR.. John Dodson of the Univer-
sity of Chicago and DR.. ] s. Nollen,
president of Lake Forest university, at
a banquet given by the Illinois mother
congress in Chicago.
"There are many children who are
eliminate from school by the pres
perity of their parents" said Mr..
Jones. 81 have more hopes of ulti-
mate success for the pupils that come
from Halsted and similar streets than
for their brothers and sisters from the
stupid bouIevards and avenues of our
city. Many children are so hampered
and hobbled with the frills of fashion
that they never know the fertilizing
power of dirt from which the daisies
and lilies grow. [ wish that such
people as you here could remedy such
conditions"
Mr.. Dodson said that proper physical
training would eradicate contagious
disease. Healthy play, he said, was
the child's best tonic.

Almost a Tragedy in the
Heart Of the Big, Still,
Woods.
THE TWENTY-FIRST STORY.

The report of gun, the scream of a
woman and the cry of child startled
David Sherman as he was walking
from the pine woods back to the settle
ments. That was before the middle
OF the last century and in those days
iumbermen often went on foot fifty or
cut forests or in returning TO friends or
families. Sherman had spent the win
ter in the vicinity of Black River Fal S
and was leisurely finding his way
back TO Wisconsin river p ints by
i'm er trails and along the high
ways.
The events in this story are given
by Mrs. n. F. Sherman of Baraboo, a
sister-in-laW of DAVID Sherman, under
whose observation the incident oc-
cured. She does not rec al the name
# the woman nor the exact locatio of
the home but is inclined to believe it
was in the northern part of the
county. The place was miles away
from every other house in the heart of
the big, still, woods.
Near a winding Indian trail the
timber had been cut away, two or
three fields partially cleared for crops
and rude log house erected These
were the humble beginnings OF the
pioneers home. In the little door
yard was a well-sweep and near it,
playing in the warm spring sunshine,
was tiny boy OF two years. Within
the humble home the chiId's mother

ONLY 80.

Maryland is the eighth state to elect
delegates to the Chicago convention

President Taft.

Worcester, Mass, April 27.-Merci-
less denunciation OF President Taft
was Colonel Roosevelt's reply to the
presidents attack upon him. Some of
Colonel ROOSEVELT assertions we're:
That President Taft had not given
the people OF the country a square
DEAL" but that owing to a quality of
~feebleness" he had yielded to the
bosses and the great privileged inter
ests."
That one part of the presidents
attack upon him was the crookedest
kind Of a DEAF and deliberate mis-.
representation"
That the president has not merely
in thought, word and deed been dis.
loyal to our past friendship, but has
been disloyal to every canon OF ordi.
nary decency and fair dealing, such as
should obtain even In dealing with q
mans bitterest opponents"
That the presidents statement re
garding the influence OF federal once
holders in the campaign vas mot only
an untruth. but an absurd untruth."
That Mr.. Taft convicted himself oil
~insincerity when he signed the Payne
4ldrich tariff bill.
That in speaking Of Colonel Roose
velt's position In regard to the trust
problem President Taft lis himself
guilty Of q crooked deal"

PRESIDENT DONS

Taft Bitterly nen9unCes Former
President Roosevelt.
REMARKS BRlSTlE WITH FIRE
Asserts Colonel 10 a Dangerous Man
and His Nomination or Election
Would BE a Calamity.

Boston, April 26.-President Taft
donned his fighting clothes, abandoned
his policy OF silence under the attacks
that Colonel Theodore Roosevelt has
made upon him and upon his admins
tration and, for the first time since
Mr.. Roosevelt announced his candi
dacy, launched into a bitter denuncia
ton of the former president.
From the time Mr.. Taft entered Mas
sachusetts and made his first speech
ut Springfield he hammered away at
Colonel Roosevelt. The president
made close to a dozen speeches, many
OF them extended, the rest only a few
words In length.
In all he made il clear that he is
u~nalterably opposed to Mr.. Roosevelt:
that he saw disaster in a third term
In the White House for any man and
that he did not believe Colonel Roose-
welt had given him a square deal"
He spoke to good sized crowds in all
the cities where he made set speeches
and at the towns and villages where
his train stopped briefly the people
focked around his private car and lis
tened with close attention.
The president spoke at Springfield
and Palmer, twice In Worcester and
at Nstick, South birmingham and
several smaller towns.
Seems Reluctant at First.
In the beginning he seemed to utter
his attack on Colonel Roosevelt with
reluctance.
This wrenches my SOUL" he said
once.
As the day wore on, however, and
he made speech after speech in which
he denounced Mr.. Roosevelt again and
again MI. Taft grew more aggressive
In manner, emphasized his words with
gestures and apparently laid aside any
feeling of regret he may have felt at
this evidence that the long friendship
with his former chief was broken.
His principal Boston address was de-
livered in the arena to a large crowd,
but before retiring to his private cal
he spoke briefly to IN overflow" meet
ing in symphony hall. His speech in
the Arena was delivered from manu-
script, prepared during the last few
days In Washington, carefully gone
over by members Of his cabinet and
containing a detailed answer to many
OF Mr.. Roosevelt's charges.
Mr.. Taft's speech bristled with coun.
ter charges against his predecessor in
the White House. He declared that
Mr.. Roosevelt had wilfully misrepre-
him. had falsely distorted some
Of his public ~utterances, had failed to
live up to his policy Of a square deal
and had violated a solemn promise to
the American people not to be a candi-
date for a third term.
