WILL VISIT f.
THE UNITED STATES IF
MINISTERS consent
Finds There Is No Anirnosity
Toward Spain in This
Country.

LONDON, Jan. 8.-King Alfonso OF
Spain b likely 70 pay . visit to the
United States some time this coming
summer.
Tho spanish Government u now con-
sidering a proposal which emanated
from the King himself. who has long de-
sired to visit America. He has several
times made similar proposals which have
been rejected By the Government under
the mistaken notion that the animos-
tiles created by the war between spain
and the United states are still warm.
but since last year King Alfonso has
been combating this idea and has been
reinforced In his opinion BY the pers nal
experience OF Capt. Vicens. the Spanish
Attache at London. and another Spanish
ofiicer who visited the United States last
summer.
When Alfonso was in England In Aug
ust he sent for Capt. vicens and ques-
toned him about his trip to the United
States.
The Spanish King insisted upon set
ting from tho Attache every minute de-
tail IN regard to tho United States. He
was particularly anxious TO fnd out
whether any III feeling remained In
America over the Spanish
war. Capt. vicens assused him that
there was not the slightest animosity.
On tine contrary. he found everywhere
feelings Of the utmost cordially.
King Alfonso sighed and said: Flow
fortunate you are to be a simple ofllcer
and not q King. You have visited q
country that am most anxious to see.
II has been my wish for years. but the
Government will not permit me 10 DO It.
thinking that perhaps there Ia still some
III feeling over the war. But your &C.
count agrees with my own opinion. and
what you have told me Of the wonders
OF the country simply adds zest to my
desire to visit IT.
Since then King Alfonso has been peg
cling away at his ministers to allow him
to make the trip. During the last three
| or four days the matter has been taken
into serious consideration. but no decl-
sion has yet been reached. The young
KING would like to go to the United
States early In the summer when the
spanish Parliament Is not In session.

VIEWS REGARDING MEN At
DIFFERENT AGES.

Dear Nissan: Persons differ from
each other in respect TO marriage
as In most others. There undoubt-
edly are persons who should never
marry at all. In my own case the
men who looked good TO me as
matrimonial possibilities In my Gems
regarded as matrimonial impossi-
b.l.ties In my early twentles. Like
wise when J ponder upon the man

twenty-five | have hopes that l
am beginning 10 cut my wis.,
dom teeth. one OF the greatest
causes OF matrimonial mistakes 10

magic words OF the marriage cers-
mony to work such wondrous
changes. Thus the human bear will

week, 1t is understood that there might
be some difficulty in meeting these de-
mands.
However, there is every Indication
that all the money needed by the state
Will be in the treasury by December l.
All of the banks to whom appeals haN a
been made have readily agreed to pay
their taxes by December /, and the
governor believes that more than
enough money will be on hand by the
first of the month to take care of the
heavy drains upon the treasury
The same condition confronted tho
state last year. and at the request OF
the governor the railroads and banks
of the state came forward with their
taxes and tided the state over it's
financial difficulties.
The early payment of taxes into the
treasury will enable the state to meeet
all its financial demands without hav-
ing to borrow additional money from
the banks or to ask these institutions
to hold its warrants.

UNFAIR ATTACKS ON
MANS CHARACTER
B0yhOOd Friend of Underwood Thinks
HObsOn Supporters Make Mis-

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
In their devotion to the cause of pro-
hibition many good and Christian men
are, ] think, going to the extreme of ad-
vocating the political advancements of
and on Sunday.
| have no desire to criticise any man
who sincerely labors for what he deems
righteous cause on Sunday or at
church. But [ am satisfied few of these
Hobson churchmen realize the grave and
great moral wrong they commit in re-
iterating the totally groundless insinua-
tions as to Mr. Underwood's alliance with
the forces of evil.
Captain Hobson, [ doubt not. is a clean
man, and has done service to the state.
Not for a moment would be understood
as detracting from his merit but at the
same time it seems to me unmanly. un-
fair. and unjust not to accord Under
wood his just due and recognize the great
moral worth of his career as an example
of the true Christian life.
/ have known Mr.. Underwood from
boyhood at college. There amid tempta-
young men usually do, / never knew or
heard of him drinking, gambling, smok-
ing or doing any unclean thing and
more, have never known him to say one
unkind word of another nor use an oath
and as man he has lived as he begun
q boy. In all the range of my life's ac-
quaintance | have never known a man
so clean, more truly the Christian and
honorable gentlemen than Oscar Under
wood His greatest fault lies in his ex-
cessive modesty, and this has even pre-
vented him from seeking the limelight and
blowing his own trumpet Under the
lash of insinuation and imputation. that
must wound a man who has lived on so
high moral plane, have felt he would
surely turn and denounce his detractors.
Yet l have still to hear of an unkind
word uttered or any alluson to his own
merit from him.
Justice, / think, demands that all men
should acknowledge Underwood's whole
life career and character give the lie
to the charge that he ever was or could
be allied with anything unclean or ques-
tionable. Few men are so temperate in
all things as is Oscar w. Underwood,
and he Is too big, too able to be any
mans tool. r. r.. $. RIVES.
