population on that basis would be for
sixty centuries, $50 billions. One acre
of ground would furnish graves for
$3.50 persons. For $50 billions 1t would
require 1921 0S acres. The state Of
Texas contains 10 .O99. 200 acres, nearly

Mo Matter.

No matter whom they nominate.
There still are those who'll! speculate;
The farmer still will sow and reap,
The millions still will work and sleep;
The world will sorrow and be gay.
And youth will wonder wish and play:
The sun will shine, the winds will blow,
And flowers bloom and river flow:
The game Of life will still proceed:
And some will flourish, others need;
No human motive Will abate.
No matter whom they nominate.
No matter whom they may elect.
The gasman meters will inspect
And creditors will render bills,
And women still be found of frills;
Babies will be born and people die,
And clouds will come and birds will tl. J;
Some men will win a pile Of chips.
And some invoke receiverships:
And lawyers will spoil and some eggs
hatch:
And love and wedlock keep their
course,
Spliced by elopement and divorce.

Francis J. Heney, the man who

he kept out Of q scrap long after no
reached Chicago. Heney hankered TO
set into the thick Of things in the ma
tional committee proceedings. He
fumed and fretted about the hotels for
awhile then the Indiana cases were
disposed OF. and some of the militant
Roosevelt men not on the committee
raised an uproar because the Roose-
Welt committeeman hadn't stirred up
more of fight.
S. Y. Way, who is on the delegation
from South Dakota, took 1t into his
head there ought to be some way OF
getting Heney into the meetings of the
committee.
Let's get proxy for him.. ne said.
But proxies are not easy things to get
at time like this.
Any good progressive ought to be
willing to give UP his proxy for case
like this said Way.
Then he hunted up Tom Thorson,
Of South Dakota, national committee
man from that state. explained the
situation to him. told him somebody
ought to be given a hand in the COM
,nittee proceedings who would stir up
a battle. and Thorson said Heney
could have his proxy. The result was
that Heney took part in the delihera-
tons of the committee in the Kentucky
cases and made things lively.
'Now I've got YOU this proxy ex-
recting that you'll put up a scrap.
said Way as he turned it over to the
San Francisco graf. hunter.
If don't, I'll turn it back and apol-
ogize." said Heney.
He hasn't had to apologize yet.

Students OF The subject claim to nave

grows more intellectually after reach

Cook and Professor Shaler were among
those who thought SO. and recent IN
yestigations appear to confirm their
opinion.
AS women under 30 give their time
largely to the rearing of children, IL
would seem quite natural that their
best intellectual growth should come
later. If their conditions of life were
somewhat more ideal, perhaps every
BODY would count ON the years beyond
80 as the period of intellectual pros
perity.
Why not? The hardest work ought to
be out of the way by that time. The
foolishuess of youth is over. or ought
to be; the time for reading, study and
mental speculation is at hand.

ought to know this. Il carefulness In
clothes is called for anywhere it Is in
the case Of the stenographer and the

do attract attention, but they don't
make useful friends or get the good

THE CONVENTION.

Root became temporary chairman of
the convention as might have been ex-
pected. Analysis Of the vote on tenn
porary chairman shows a number of
Roosevelt votes in line for the New
York man and supports the contention
of the anu-Taft men that the vote dis
plays the weakness instead Of the
strength Of the president in the con-
vention. On the other hand ii affords
the Taft supporters ground for Claim
that they will hold certain Of the
Roosevelt strength TO the support of
Taft.
In a close convention 1t was a big
Job to undertake the defeat Of Root
for the Craftsmanship. Root is an able
man whatever else may be said of him.
He was q capable member of Roose-
velts cabinet and carries one Of those
fullsome endorsements Of which the
ex-presidenr was prolific four years
ago. He has friends among the anti
Tafters who would support him for
voting for Taft's denomination. His
elevation was much more q personal
victory than q victory for his chief.
His speech as temporary chairman
was an effort to rehabilitate the pres
ent administration without promising
anything for the future. AS regards
the pressing and momentous questions
which are uppermost in the public
mind his utterauces were cautious anC
confined to generalities. 1t was plea

midnight order in the Missouri rate
cases until now when he sits in the
trial OF a man named McNao, charged

law He had been assigned by judge
Sanborn to th4 district court for Min
resota. McNab had pleaded guilty. NC
pherson sentenced him to threc
months imprisonment and ined hl'h
$1,000. This Il not quite as absurd
sentence as was that by Judge Munger
in the land grab cases. but. consider
ing the agitation OF this nefarlous
trade in the virtue of women, the len
iency of Judge Mcpherson is very close
to that shown by Judge Munger.
The women's federation took the
matter UP and made spirited protest
against the decision. Judge Mcpherson
made a lame explanation. There were
"exteruating circum stances NC
Nab had o.feI ed to send the girl back

against it, the Widespread public SEN
timent, all gave warrant for imposing
the highest punishment the law pro-

than that of the girl victim whom he
offered to send back to her family aft
