the Taft truth tellers." at the end OF
their days campaigning through the
Western Reserve OF Ohio. The confidence
of the two Republican speakers was
shared by Chairman Daughty. Of the Re-
publican State Committee, and the hum
dreds of Republican who boarded the Re-
publican prosperity train.
"Ohio is falling into line splendidly.
We are getting recruits TO Taft from
both the Democratic party and the Bull
Moosers. The latter see thar their can
didate cannot be elected" Such were the
words of Mr.. Harlan TO practically all
his hearers at the fifteen meetings he ad-
dressed during the day. Mr.. Harlan
added:
The Bull Moosers believe In the pro-
lection principles of the Republican
party; they are enjoying a prosperity
for which the party TO which they have
always belonged is responsible. They
want prosperity continued Knowing
that their candidate Canot win, they are
coming back TO Taft The Democrats,
eSpeCHllS the business men ana farmers,
with goodly number Of railroad men
who are Democrats at heart, fear repe-
titiOn of the days Of Cleveland, with an
other Wilson tariff law. They are COM
ing strong for Taft It's a Taft victory
here. as IL will be in the nation.
But. remember, Mr. Bull Moosers that

sibly win, Is half vote for Wilson and
half a vote for the sitting of the ma
tons present unparalleled prosperity
To-night's meeting at Lima was an In
spiration to the loyal Republicans that the
party still lives, despite the wall OF the
Bull Moose leaders, and is very much
alive in Ohio
J. Adam Bede in his address here
brought forth storms OF applause when he
explained why Taft was being opposed
by Perkins. "the retired workngman,"
whose feelings and pocket were hurt when
the steel and Harvester trusts were sued
by Dan Hanna, the millionaire newspaper
owner OF Cleveland, who objected to pay
ing a fine for violating the law by
Munsey, the magazine publisher, who OBJ
Jected 70 Tafts forcing him to pay for
the transportation OF his magazines
through the mails. thus lifting a burden
from the taxpayers and making penny

GIFTS FORCED, HE THINKS
Mr.. Ordway Criticises Costello's
Appeal for Funds.

Samuel II. Ordway, chairman OF the
committee on political activity and politi-
cal assessments of the National Civil Ser
vice parorm League, issued "A statement
last night assailing the course Of Demo-
cratic national committeeman in soliciting
campaign funds from federal ofiicehold-
ers Such procedure, according TO Mr.
Ordway. savored OF coercion.
The statement follows
4 circular letter appealing for campaign

The request for contributions, as report
ed in the press reads as follows:

thoriZcd to receive contributions Tor

C,IviI Service Reform League endeavored
10 secure n statement from the National
Democratic Committee IN regard 10 this
objectionable method OF appealing for
funds, he was informed that the national
committee had no control over Mr.. Cos
teIIo who is elected by the people or his
district. and that the committee would
neither repudiate the letter nor approve IL.
No one can doubt for moment that the
circular letter was intended 10 secure con-
tributions for political purposes through
intimidation of government employees In
asrnuch as Congressman have nothing to

why congressman should be better in

SECRETARY KNOX IS
 WARMLY WELCOMED

San Jose, Costa Rica, March 2.-The American Secretary of State, Philander c. Knox, had quite as cordial a reception here as at Colon and Panama. His Pan- anna speech, which was published here. created an excellent impression and news papers devoted pages to the details of Mr. Knox's visit. All the editorials are couched in friendly language.
 Two slight earth shocks occurred dur ing the night but they did no damage and most of the American visitors. including the Secretary were not conscious of them. A great crowd massed In Sectional park last night opposite the residence occu- pied by tho Secretary, and the National band serenaded the visitors, alternating between "1'he Star Spangled Banner" and the Costa Rican national hymn. Secre- tary Knox appeared on the balcony where he was enthusiastically greeted.
 On the trip from the station, after the arrival of the visitors from Port Limon. the Secretary and party were escorted by a committee composed of the cabinet and high military officials.
 great throng lined the streets and as the carriage passed all uncovered. Today was spent in sight seeing and this even Ing the visitors attenued grand ball given in their honor.

 Winslow Homer was a great painter who had the unusual good fortune to life. But no one ever presumed less on a wide reputation Affectation was weakness from which his sense of humor saved him.
 In his biography, lately written by w. II. Downs, is printed the story of a New York gentleman of wealth and artistic tastes who made his journey to Scarboro, Me. where Homer had his studio. to make the artists acquaintance. On his arrival he found the studio door locked; the owner was nowhere to be seen. He wandered about the cliffs for awhile, until he met man in a rough old suit of clothes. rubber boots and a batterer felt hat, who carried a fish pole. He accosted the fisherman thus:
 q say my man, if you can tell me where I can find Winslow Homer I have a quarter for you
 Where's your quarter?' said the fisherman
 He handed it over, and was astounded to hear the quizzical Yankee fisherman say, "I am Winslow Homer
 The sequel of this unusual introduction was that Homer took his new aequaint- ance back to the studio. entertained him and before he left sold him a picture

|ALLEGE RAILROADS
 AID BLIND TIGERS

Atlanta, March 2-Alleging that part nership existed between the railroads and out of town liquor firms in the illegal sale of liquor in Atlanta, the grand jury today returned indictments against the R. M. Rose company, operating in Chatta- nooga, Tenn, and Jacksonville. Fla, and the Western and Atlantic and Central of Georgia railroads.
 The indictments charge that the liquor companies sold the goods unlawfully in the state and the defendants kept the liquor on hand, unlawfully. at the rail- roads freight depots in this city. In reference to the whisky traffic the grand jury report states:
 Blind tigers would be impossible With out the cooperation of railroads and ex- press companies with the foreign shipper and his local confederate. The carriers must know the plans used and devices to avoid the law. The scheme of the tor eign shippers is a fragrant effort to cir cumvent the law. The local confederate knows he is doing an illegal business. Each party should be subjected to ade- quate penalties.
 The grand jury also recommended the appointment of vice commission for At lanta and strict regulations for boarding houses and hotels.

From the London Globe.
 An amusing story concerning the Greek naval lottery appears in q Paris journal. It seems that the tickets were hawked about the Piraeus and were eagerly pur- chased from the combined motive of patriotism and the excitment attendant upon a gamble.
 One day a hawker stopped outside a milk shop and. seeing an ass standing by laden with eggs. cheese and butter to tantaize the animal took one of his tickets and gave 1t to the beast The poor ass was struggling with 1t in the hope of extracting something eatable. when d grocer on the opposite side of the way who had seen what was happen ing rushed across and rescued the ticket That ticket. he said to the hawker. will win a prize. and I will buy it" He did so and the ticket drew q prize of ee.oC0 francs.

 "This tory" he said fought during the Revolution neither on one side nor on the other He took a pleasure trip on the continent, and he didn't come back home again until the war was over.
 He was treated very coldly by society on his return and this grieyed his good old mother to the heart.
 The dear old lady tried to explain the matter one afternoon to a Boston belle.
 Naturally. as the head of the family she said, my son could not take part in the war. To him fell the duty perhaps the more arduous duty. of protecting his mother and sisters and looking after the interests of the setate.'
