TRUCE IN NORTH CAROLINA
Taft and T. r. Leaders Agree on
Separate Conventions.

IBy TeIerranh % THO TrIbunc,I
Asheville, \. c., Aug. 2s.-Taft and
Roosevelt leaders to-day reached an agree
ment by which the Roosevelt forces will
not attempt to capture the Republican
State Convention, 10 be held at Charlotte.
September 4. but each side will hold a
convention and name electors OF it's own
Grave fears of physical encounters be-
tween the delegates brought about this
plan. The two conventions will nominate
the same state officers, who are to be
agreed on later.

Law Covering Case,

Chairman Hilles some time ago wrote
10 each OF the candidates for elector ask
ing him if he would vote for Roosevelt or
Taft. if elected He received replies from
most Of them. Those who did not reply
were presumed TO be for Roosevelt max
ing in all twenty-three or twenty-fouT
Roosevelt men out Of the thirty-eight'
The letters Of these men, who have writ
tcn that they would vote for Roosevelt
could be used in a court action TO de-
termine whether or not they were "ap-
uropriate' men TO run on q Taft and Sher-
man ticket.
Another reason why Chairman Hilles
wants the electoral question Strengthened
out at the earliest possible moment is that
he believes the people Of the state have
right TO know some time in advance just
who are the Taft electors and who are
the Roosevelt electors. 1t would take
some time TO disseminate that informa-
tion throughout the state.
Chairman Larkin and Colonel Isaac T..
Mann, Of the West Virginia State Com
,nittee, talked with Chairman Hilles in
regard 10 the electoral situation in that
state yesterday. Among other callers on
the national chairman were Congressman
Dyer. Of Missouri, and DR.. W. c. Hunter,
of Kentucky.
Pittsburgh. Aug. 2s.-William Finn
made the following statement to-day rela-
tive 10 the electoral situation in Pennsyl-
vania:
Regardless Of what Mr.. Hiiles or any
OF his associates think, we do not intend
TO jeopardze the success OF our ticket
through any undue haste. IL must be re-
a new ticket of electors in the field and
afford opportunity 10 have vacancies on
the Republican ticket filled with Taft
This is a big job, and the law gives us
a very short time In which 10 complete
our arrangements for the Washington
party ticket. Consequently We feel that
this is a matter that should be attended
TO FIRST.
Just what we will do then depends in
large measure on the plan OF Boies Pen
rose TO put an entirely new ticket in the
field in opposition TO the Washington
ticket and the one regularly nominated
by the Republican state convention.
We do not feel that there would be any
use in having the Roosevelt electors re-
sign from the Republican ticket If any
such thing is attempted by Penrose. Mr..
Hilles and all the rest OF the Taft people
understand our position IN this particu-
lar and IL needs no further discussion
now.
Mr.. HilIes may as we'll calm himself,
because we have promised TO be fair TO
Notwithstanding ourselves.

Only "Act" as President.

This statute was enacted by authority
of Article III. Section 6, Of the Constitu-
ton, which confers upon Congress the
power Of declaring what officer shall
then act as President until the
disability be removed or a President shall
be elected" The plain intent OF both
Constitution and statute is that such
officer shall only act as President until a
President can be elected. and the man
datory provision requiring him to con-
vene Congress forthwith IL obviously for
the purpose Of enabling Congress TO call
a special election under authority con-
ferred by Article III. Section 4.
In the event. then. OF the House Of Rep
resentatyes failing to elect President
and the Senate failing to elect Vice
President. the procedure would be as fol-
lows: President Tafts fixed term of office
would expire at midnight of March Q,
and the Secretary OF State, Mr.. Knox,
whose official life is indetermnate, would
become acting President AS such he
would be Obliged TO convene Congress In
extraordinary session on March "a. and
Congress would determine the time OF
choosing elec.ors"-certainly not later
than November OF the forthcoming year

A SMART LITTLE C0ATEE..

Coates OF taifeta or other material
worn over separate dresses are exceed
ingly smart and exceedingly attractive.
They are very quaint and very pretty,
and they provide most becoming little
wraps while they do not mean any ap-
probable amount of weight or warmth.
This one can be utilized for such treat
ment or made to match the skirt, as
liked, and IT is equally smart In both
ways. Al made on the figure 1t is nm
lshed with n single rever and the ma
terial Is taffeta trimmed with puftings
and little frills of the same. As shown
in the small front view it Is made to
the natural line with a short peplnm
and without revers, and it is adapted
to pongee. to linen and to all fabrics of
the kind. The one-pleee sleeves are
sewed to rather big armholes n the
coatee is gathered at the lower edge
and Joined to a belt. II can be finished
at either the high or natural waist
line.
For the medium size will be required

A WORD OF WARNING.

The time-honored saying that we sell
valne until we are In danger of losing
them, is never more true than when we
refer to the blessing Of good eyesight.
1t is through the avenue Of sight that
most Impressions reach our brain. and
when we lose 1t we are shut in the
dark cut off from. our fellows by a
deprivation of which only the totally
blind can understand the magnitude. Our
he guarded more carefully than the most
plecious jewels that ever came into NOR
tai possession.
Yet how often we see girls doing
their best to ruin their eyes. They have
often heard that reading in trains and
street cars is one of the worst things
that they can do; but one cannot take
the shortest journey without noticing
tina about our women out Of every ten
are trying their eyes by porting over some
paper or magazine, which Is 1erked aside
every other moment by the jar or yibra-
ton of the car. Apart from the con
slant movement and consequent change
Of focus for the eyes, the light is often
very bad, and the headaches of which
so many girls complain are frequently
due to eye-straln from this cause, and
to nothing else.
II is not While they are still IN the
twenties that they are most likely to
suffer for their indiscretion; but wait
awhile, and Nature will be ~revenged.
For every lot they have misused
their eyes. those faithful servants Of
theirs that did their bidding for years
so uncomplainingly, they will pay a
heavy toll. and the failing sight that
Is so often the trouble of middle life.
will hamper their usefulness and spoil
their pleasure.
