OHIO GOES FOR ROOSEVELT.

In the presidential primary in
Ohio Tuesday Theodore Roose-
welt was given a majority of
rs, 900 in the general vote over
President Taft. Thirty-two Of
the forty-two delegates were ir-
structed for Roosevelt, ten for
Taft. The result brings about
complications in the republican
situation which the convention
alone can settle. While MI. Taft
is placed very awkwardly before
his fellow republicans. he oc-
cupies the same position that two
of his opponents occupy in hav-
ing been defeated in their own
states. Roosevelt lost New York
by a vote of 83 to z, while Cum
minis lost his state, Iowa., by 16
to 10. With the result in Ohio
it looks like a dark horse will be
the winner at the Chicago con
vention. Gov. Harmon will get
the entire 48 votes of his st ate
in the democratic convention.

DR.. Hills Of Brooklyn, while hold

this summer twenty volumes fresh

That western ideas of civilization

tent that 1t 10 rapidly forging ahead
Of some Of the recognized leading n .
tons Of the world was the declara-
ton made by Harvey N. Shepard Of
Boston, former attorney general OF
Massachusetts,, in an address on Jap
anese Municipal Governments" to the
members Of the Philadelphia City
club. Mr.. Shepard also declared that
the Japanese people were far ahead
OF Americans in solving municipal at
fairs.
I'm no other countries on the face
of the EARTH" he said, ARE the mu-
nicipal governments closer to the will
Of the people than they are In the
Flowery Kingdom, and graft and ex-
travagances such as often charged
against the officials of cities and
towns In our own country are prac-
tically unknown. While the munich
palities Of Japan are Of a more recent
development than u WI they are
founded on a flrmer basis to further
the prosperity Of the people. Patterned
after the cities of France and Prussia
their administration corresponds
greatly to that Of the municipalities Of
those two European countries. All
over Japan there is a marked progress
in municipal affairs. Public works arc
being forwarded and they are con-.
s~tructing good roads and developing
their hsrbors."
Mr.. Shepard spent many years in
Japan and studied closely the phases
Of life in that empire. AS skilled
workmen," he said. "the japanese are
rapidly becoming proficient and r
equal to the skilled workmen Of our
own country. There Is no child labor
in the factories, and because Of this
wages have increased p~erceptibly.

lions are contrasted sharply with each
other in some parts Of the Japanese

Representatives Of Cornell
University in preparing a list of
the modern seven wonders of
the world included in the list
wireless telegraphy, synthetic
chemistry, a%ntitoxins, radium,
aeroplanes, the Panama canal
and the telephone. The seven
ancient wonders of the world
were the Pyramids, the Hanging
Gardens of Babylon, the Tomb
of Mausolus, the Temple Of
Diana, the Colossus of Rhodes,
the Statue of Zeus, and the Pha-
ros of Egypt. The ancients
were not of the practical mind
that their posterity seem to pos
sess, as none of the ancient Won
ders with one exception, were of
any benefit unless it was to fur
nish employment to the idle.
The exception was the Pharos
light house that stood at the
mouth of the Nile. The seven
modern wonders are in constant
use by the human race scattered
over the entire globe.

Free Shade Trees.

Free trees will be distributed to the
householders of Denver by the city on
municipal arbor day in April. The
expense of purchasing the saplings
will come from the streets and boule-
Yards fund, as provided in the mayors
budget. 1t is believed that about To-
900 trees, mostly naples and elms,
will be given away.
Last years distribution was a great
success. The trees were in excellent

planted, according to the rules laid
down by the city forester. 1t is esti-

Mr.. uNpERwooD's VOTE.

MH. W00O WIZ
Congressman Underwood OF
Alabama, has received the en-
dorsement of only four states as
their choice for president, Ala
bama, Georgia, Florida and
Mississippi. Mr.. Underwood
was endorsed as a southern man
and because the people believed
that he was entirely southern in
his sympathies and political
alignments.
Upon the heels of these en-
dorsements, Mr.. Underwood, as
the leader of the democratic ma
jority in congress, supported the
Bristow amendment to the reso-
luton to change the Constitu-
ton of the United States direct
ing the election of United States
senators by a direct vote of the
people. The Bristow amend
ment places the supervision of
election of United States sena-
tors under the supervision of the
Federal government. Judge
Bartlett of Georgia, offered a
substitute to the Bristow amend
ment which sought to save to the
states the right of controlling
their elections for United States
senator, which substitute Con-
gresham Underwood promised
to support, but when the time
not only voted against it,
but made a speech in opposition
to it.
Oscar Underwood spent his
in Minnesota. His
father was a Union soldier dur
ing the civil war. Mr.. Under
wood came to Birmingham in
1884 and became interested in
the steel industry there. He has
prospered and is reputed to be a
rich man. He has the reputa-
ton of being an homes. man and
safe legislator. Of course. it
is impossible for him to realize
the disaster that would come to
the South if the Federal govern
ment had authority to control
our national elections.
When Mr.. Underwood came
we had just emerged from
the disasters of the reconstruc-
ton period which followed the
cival war. Of these things Mr..
Underwood knows nothing. He
can not fully realize the import
.nce of the vote cast in favor of
the Bristow amendment which
was prepared by the senator from
Kansas, whose negro constit-
uents he sought to please.
In voting for the amendment,
Mr.. Underwood doubtless, was
playing the part of the politician
who realizes that the votes of
every section count in a conven-
ton. The southern states that
are already tied to him by in
structions will cast their votes
for him at Baltimore. This is an
obligation which they placed
upon themselves before Mr.. In
derwood's vote in the House. If
these states were to again act
the result might be different.

MONEY AND CHURCHES.

The amount of money spent upon
their churches is always some gauge
of a peoples devotion. People do
not spend great sums of money on
their churches, and rob themselves Of
the Injuries and even the necessities
of life, unless they believe in their
religion and the things for which it
stands. In every Russian village the
church is the great building of the
region. With its golden domes and
its curious double crosses, it towers
above all the homes and stores and
factories. The village may consist
of squalid huts, but the church is
often stately, or, if more humble, is
embellished with gold and silver or
naments and icons framed in jewels,
while the priests are gorgeous in
cloth of gold and rich embroidery

CURIOUS WORK OF PENANcE
Ancient Buddhist Of Japan Writes
$4,000 Words on Piece Of Paper
IS by I've lnche0.

For some time there has been
shown In San Francisco a piece of
paper 10 inches by 71k inches, on
which there are written 10000 words.
This writing is the work of Kobo
lTaishI Buddhist of Japan, who lived
1,1O0 years ago. Before his time his
countrymen used only Chinese char
acters in writing and he evolved the
idea OF the japanese alphabet.
The writing on the paper is SO fine
that a microscope has to be used to
decipher the intricate Japanese char
acters. 1t is an exact copy of eight
books of the Buddhist Bible, and
was written by the author as a sort Of
penance to purify his spirit. 1t is the
property of descendant of the writer,
and has passed as a sacred heirloom
from father to son for a thousand
years. Every precaution has been
taken to insure the safety of the
document. In case of white wood is
beautiful laquered box wrapped in
green silk Within the laquered box
is another made Of a very light porous
wood that is extensively used in the
manufacture of cabinets in which to
store treasures. In this box is the
precious writing.

The next big tussle between the
powers of Europe. so far as can be
seen at present, is to be over the
Portuguese colonies in Africa. This
time England and Germany will
come directly face to face; each will
be fighting her own diplomatic bat
tie, not that of her friends or allies,
as in the Moroccan and Bosnia and
Herzegovina cases. The British gov
eminent is being urged by the I'm.
perialists to take the matter up i'm
mediately and get her share at the
same time that Germany comes into
hers. Germany. there is no doubt,
is willing; in some quarters it is be-
lieved that she has her preliminary
negotiations well under way, while
Portugal. being in need of money
and knowing that the present is q
good time to sell. is not averse to
parting with the colonies which she
cannot afford to keep up.
