TAFT'S TURKEY IN
STRICT TRAINING
Thanksgiving Bird Gets Massage
and Wash Down Every
Day.

WESTERLY, r. l., Nov. 22.-President
Tafts Thanksgiving turkey is being
given daily massage by Horace Vose,
who for many autumns has made u
practice OF donating II bird to the White
House table. Massaging "A turkey, 1t
may be mentioned for the benefit Of
New Workers, consists in gently rubbing
the crop of the fowl In order to fac litate
the digestion of the contents of said
crop
Most turkeys are fed on corn at fat
tening time, just before killing, but this
particular turkey Is luxur ating on
chestnuts so as to give 1t sort Of nutty
flavor.
Also, the White House turkey, which
has got to eat till 1t weighs thirty
pounds, is getting a daily wash-down,
like an athlete in training.
Not by a long sight; I'm no Bull
Moose said Mr.. Vose, when his atten-
ton was called to a rumor that he was
so disc pponted at the result OF the cleo
ton tnat he would skip his usual
Thanksgiving contribution to the Presi-
dental table.

HELPING OUT THE POOR BURGLAR.

The Court of Customs Appeals has held that
night lights of the sort affected by safe-crackers are
non-enumerated manufactured articles, covered BY
the basket clause" and cannot be taxed more than
20 per cent Thus is an Unexpectedly moderate i'm
post laid on the implements of what is become quite
a common industry.
Without doubt the high cost of living affects the
burglar just as it does the rest of us. Perchance
with this evidence of the publics appreciation of his
hard position ne will be moderate in his levies
on the coin stocks of country banks and the treas
ures of unprotected jewelry stores.
Why not extend this principle and effect re-
ciprocal arrangement by which, in consideration of
tariff favors cashiers will bind themselves to leave
some fixed percentage of assets in the vaults when
they hastily leave town, and by which stock manipu-
lators will considerably leave part of the water in
the ocean instead of injecting it all into their Sc
curities. There seems to be here the germ of an
excellent policy for which the customs courts is en-
titled to thanks.

BRYAN FOR CABINET
TO MAINTAIN PEACE
Believed Commoner in Order to Dsarm Criticism and
Help Bring About Harmony, Will Accept the
Portfolio of State

Plans to prevent war and keep the
party from being split are now the
great subject OF thought and discussion
in the Democratic camp.
Strenuous efforts are being made by
leading Democrats in the Senate and
House and out OF It. men in close touch
with Woodrow Wilson, TO bring about
condition Of peace in the Democratic
party, and at the same time TO keep
the party steering along progressive
channels. In pursuance of those eff
forts, progress has been made toward
shaping up the Cabinet and in parti-
ally adjusting the troublesome sltua-
tions in Congress, especially with ref
ate committees.
William Jennings Bryan. in spite of
his statement that he will not accept
the invitation of Governor Wilson TO
go to Bermuda, and that he has not
talked over the office OF Secretary of
State. will probably enter the Cabinet,
and will do so as a part of this general
attempt at harmonizatlon. Testimony
OF close friends OF Mr. Bryan here IS
that whereas he did not intend at first
to enter the Cabinet, he has changed his
mind. and will do so.
In taking this course. he will ward
off the charges OF his enemies that he
intends to have nothing TO do with the
main aloof and crtiCise 1t and make
trouble. He will unite his efforts with
those of Wilson TO make the new Ad-
mintstration "A success. The information
that Bryan Is going to enter the Cabi-
net comes from men in Congress who
are in close touch with the Nebra skan.
and who conferred freely with him
while he was in Washington.
Will Not Disturb Clark.
Tho story goes that Bryan at first
had no intention OF going into the Cabi-
net. He intended to hold aloof. Then
came bitter attacks on him, and he
was charged with being perennial
trouble maker. He talked the situation
over n great deal with close friends
here and came to the conclusion that
he would hurt his own prospects II he
put himself into a position of seeming
hostility to the new administration and
acted toward Wilson like a foe ready
to swoop down and destroy him at the
first opening for attacks.

met or remains out of 1t. the fact re-
mains that close supporters both of
Bryan and Wilson here are banking
on him becoming Secretary OF State
They talk about 1t as II II were set
tide
Part OF the program as tentatively
arranged is:
To allow Champ Clark to be Speaker
OF the House without fight.
To stir up no quarrel with Under
wood over the leadership, and give him
that honor.
To allow the ranking Democratic
senators on the Senate committees TO
have the chairmanships they are en-
titled to by virtue OF seniority. This
means Senator Simmons OF North Car
DINA, will not have to fight for the
craftsmanship Of the Finance Commit
tee.
No Bryan Underwood Fight.
To prevent any such stacking OF the
Senate committees as will allow the old
Democratic members to have more i'm
portant committee places than the
members newer In point of service.
This means simply that Bryan and In
derwood are not going to make war. at
going to fight II their friends can pre-
vent it. Friends of both men art du-
bious about this. however, owing to the
bitterness the Speaker entertains to-
ward Bryan.
To an extent, the progressive Demo-
Gratis in the Senate will surrender to the
reactionaries. That Is, they have can
Nassed the situation and find they can
not keep the seniors from the chairman

Democrats to make such division of

sive Democrats viii have less power on
first class committees than they. II one
of the senior Senators has a strong
craftsmanship he will not be allowed to

mitteeS.
Brandeis and Williams Discussed.
Thus peaceward. and not in the dlrec-
ton OF war, is the Democratic situation
trending. How long that trend will
continue nobody can tell. Some OF the
more astute leaders. however, perceive
that unless the Democrats get to-
Sether, the party Is going to be thrown
out of power as quickly as 1t was put
in, and probably crushed and divided,
as well. They are working to prevent
It. though they find no end of grief and
innumerable obstacles in the form of

TIE SECRET OF SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Remired to Win th'

Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that so many products that
are extensively advertised, all at
once drop out of sight and are soon
forgotten? The reason is plain-the
article did not fulfill the promises Of
the manufacturer. This applies more
particularly to a medicine. A medi-
cinal preparation that has real cura-
tive value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
cured to those who are in need of it,

CRISP CLUB

ENCOURAGING REPORTS NOW
Much Enthusiasm For Judge
Crisp

The Crisp campaign headquarters
were the scene yesterday of unusual
activity and the many letters and re-
ports received there from various
counties throughout the Third district
were of a nature most encouraging.
2 his was especially true as regards
Randolph and Taylor counties, in
both of which Crisp clubs have recent
ly been organized and friends are ac-
lively at work in his behalf.
The news from Randolph county was
of a nature especially encouraging,
friends of Judge Crisp writing that
they thought he would carry the coun-
ty beyond a doubt. The same is true
as regards Taylor county.
While work will be actively contin-
ued in all of the fifteen counties of the
Third district, Judge Crisp's friends
feel so confident of his popularity in
more than half of these, already as
sdred him, that they are bending ev-
cry energy in the counties more re-
mote and where effective work is
deemed essential. AS regards his NOM
ination, that seems foregone conclus-
ion, even at this stage of the caro-
