PREACHER DECLARES

HOPKINSVILLE, KY. June EN- a
sermon delivered at the Methodist
church Rev A. r. Kasey declared that
Theodore Roosevelt who coined the
term strenuous life" and posed as a
living exponent of it, was a molly
coddle" when compared to the Apostle
Paul The preacher said where Roose-
Welt often took long pleasure or hunting
trips to secure relief after some spe
cially hard labor or after a temporary
defeat in some cherished plan, that
hardships, disappointments and even
attempts upon his life only nerved the
Apostle Paul to greater endeavor.

UNDER ARREST
Detective Who Worked Up
Cases Is Now Charged With
Beating Board Bill.

TOWNSVILLE. GA, June 5.-On a
warrant sworn out by j. r. Black. pro-
prietor of the Cherokee inn, H B. Par
ker, detective in alleged liquor selling
cases against druggists and others here,
has been brought back from Fitzgerald
to answer a charge of beating his board
bill. Parker had been employed by per-
sons here some time ago TO collect evil
dence against druggists and others sus-
pected of selling intoxicants. On the
strength of his evidence c. w. Nc
Rae. j. r. Smith and n. T. Pike, drug
gists, and NJ. Sampson, a grocer, were
indicted.
These cases were tried at the special
term of court held by Judge Thomas
here this week. with the result that Ne
Rae was acquitted and the cases against
the others were mol pressed Parker
was the only witness for the prosecu-
ton.
Parker claimed to represent an At
lanta detective agency, but the defense,
it is said sent man to Atlanta to look
up his record. and found that his name
was on none of the lists of employees
of any detective agency in that city. He
is the same detective who was mixed
up with the near beer cases in Eitz-
gerald some time ago.

FUR NECKTIES WORN
BY PARTISAN WOMEN
THE VERY LATEST FAD

LONDON, June 6.-Mme. Maeter-
linck is responsible for the latest Par
isian fashion of wearing cravat of
jaguar tiger or leopard skin.
At the races the other day many
women appeared wearing these fur
ties, and the explanation was given
that Nine Maeterlinck returned from
America with a pet leopard which was
presented her by an admirer. The an
imal soon grew out of control and it
was necessary to kill him, so the ac-
tress wears his skin as a mantle.
1t was so much admired that women
who can not afford to have a whole
wrap manufactured from some Wild
beast have at least insisted upon wear
ing neckties or scarfs of these skins.

BOSSES VICTORY
NO JOY FOR TAI I
He Smiles Sadly at FuIsome
Congratulations of Cabinet
on Ohio, Says Lewis.
BY ALFRED HENRY LEWIS.

WASHINGTON, June 6.--When the
news came in from Ohio that Taft had
been given the big six" his cabinet
people made the loud and joyful noises,
out of all proportion to the size of the
triumph recorded, and extended to Taft
the glad hand of fulsome congratulate
ton:
They could not cheer him up, how
ever He smiled. but the smile was wan
and his hand grasp hopelessly fabby.
Like what other "triumphs" he has
registered the Ohio triumph was a ma
chine made triumph, and Taft could not
forget what Roosevelt had so disas-
trously done to him at the primary
polls. Roosevelt carried 50 out of SO
Ohio counties, and beat him in the ag-
gregate by 47,447. Even LaFollette,
running next to Roosevelt, defeated
Taft in one county
Taft is learning, but he is learning
thoroughly, the sorrowful lesson of his
unpopularity.
Taft Headquarters Chilly.
There is now chill funereal atmos-
phere about the Taft headquarters.
Tawney, Mckinley and the other man
aging Taft heads are still trying to
make Hughes listen to allow his name
to take the place of Taft's at the last
moment.
1t went so far this Hughes move
ment, that something which a week ago
might have been called a Hughes
headquarters" has been opened on T
street
All in vain however Hughes would
not and will not listen. He might like
to be president. but he doesn't like to be
beaten, and with the vivacious Roose-
welt in plain sight. threatening that he
will either have the regular nomination
or lead a boiling ticket to the field.
Hughes can see no ray of hope
Mckinley has given up every hope Of
Taft, and privately says so. Aside from
Hughes, Mckinley and the Taft man
agement are canvassing Fairbanks and
Bob Lincoln. Their attempted nego-
tiations with LaFollette came to
naught The Wisconsin man would not
abate one splinter of his progressive
ness. and the Roots and the Barneses
and their fellow reactionaries could NOT
see their way clear to accept him as he
was. LaFollette as the price of their
conservative support, must consent t.
have his progressive horns sawed oft
This he refused to do, preferrng his
horns to a Barnes Root Conservative
support
Fairbanks and Lincoln Canvassed.
With Taft dead set on getting out
with Hughes unwilling and LaFollette
impossible. the Taft people have sent
emssaries TO both Fairbanks and Lin
coin. The purpose is to talk over with
these gentlemen their supposed ele-
ments of strength and consider besides
how far each is willing to die in a last
ditch opposition to the dangerous
Roosevelt.
Taft and the harassed management
are waiting to hear from both Fair
banks and Lincoln. 1t is a sinister
commentary on the straits into which
the Republican party has been betrayed
that, bar Roosevelt there isn't a man
prominent on it's muster rolls who is
even willing to accept its nomination
What curing 40 years has been scram-
bled for is now fed from and avoided in
this year of 1912.
