POLITICAL CONFERENCES
Prominent Republican Leaders Talk
Matters Over With Roosevelt.

Washington. April Ia Colonel
Roosevelt has begun to hold confer
ences with prominent Republican
leaders. especially of the Progressive
type, says the New York Sun. Sena-
tor Borah of Idaho has conferred
with the Colonel, and it is under
stood that other Republicans are a
gain preparing to wend their way TO
oyster Bay and Sycamore Hill.
Also there is stirring on the part
of former leaders of the Progressiy-
party and a disposition to talk
things over with the Colonel in re-
gard to the possibility Of nominating
a Republican that they all can sup
port.
Ex-senator Joseph NJ. Dixon, who
was Chairman of the Progressive ma
tional organization until few weeks
ago. when he relinquished the place
to Victor Murdoch of Kansas was in
Washington this week on his way to
confer with Mr.. Roosevelt Dixon
announced his willingness to support
Senator Cummins of Iowa, or Re
publican OF his type. for the nomina-
ton.
One of Colonel Roosevelt's closest
newspaper friends, II. Gibson Gard
ner, went to oyster Bay recently and
has Just sent out an article from
Washington. apparently with author
ity explaining the conditions under
which Coonel Roosevelt would sup
port the Republican nominee for
President in 1916.
III NnlA
Roosevelt might see his way clear to
give his support to Senator Root. if
the latter should be nominated
Other persons. even Republicans
lain to have had limitations that
Mr. Roosevelt would support Mr.
Root if he were reduced to the nee
essity of choosing between President
Wilson or someone representing the
present political regime in Washing
ton and ex-senator Root, leading the
Republicans.
Colonel Roosevelt is represented
as being especially interested in
strengthening the national defense
md in restoring vigorous policy
Persons who have talked with him
recently came away with the impress
sion that these two things were up
permost in his mind and that he was
applying these standards to the var
ious men whose names have been
suggested for the Republican nom
nation.
1t is because he has great con
fdence in Senator Root to deal with
both subjects in statesmanlike
way that he appears to be willing to
forget Mr.. Roots part in the Chicago
convention of 1912 and support him
as candidate.
For several weeks there has been a
gradual disintegration of the Progress
sive party One of the first men to
quit was Congressman Hinebaush of
Illinois, Chairman of the Progressive
Congressional Committee. He was
followed by Congressman Mcdonald
of Michigan.

mouth of a lion and places her
head between its Jaws. Captain An
dy Prier has six trained bears that
are star act in themselves. The
bears go roller skating, they indulge
in an amusing drinking bout, and
perform other tricks far more aston

of the big program is the eques-

Sisters. These two winsome, attrac-
tive young ladies have two beautiful
big white horses which they ride
about the stage with gracefulness

and he makes them perform multi

six ponies and they are beauties.

GUARDING GOLD AT SEA.
Armor Plate Rooms on Ocean Liners
For Holding Bullion.

1t would be natural to suppose that
forth across the Atlantic on big liners
would be attended by considerable pre-
caution, but there is probably no other
place in the world where the transport
of great wealth is carried on with such
simplicity.
one of our great liners has two
strong rooms, the smaller being in
close proximity to the captains quar-.
tiers, while the other is next to the pro-
vision department. The small strong
room has its walls. floor and ceiling
lined with two inch steel plate and
contains nothing in the way Of fur
niShing other than shelves. This has
more than once contained enough gold
to buy the liner many times over
The locks which are of the double
variety. are rendered still more secure
by covering the keyholcs with steel
haspS. which are themselves locked III
place with massive ladlockS. This
strong room. being located in the most
frequented portion of the ship, is
passed by persons ut all hours of the
day and night which, after all, is the
great protection
The strong room located near the
provision department is twelve feet
long by four feet wide, and it often
happens that both these rooms, are
filed TO capacity with gold bullion.

EVERY COUNTY SHOULD HAVE
FAIR AND COMMENCEMENT
fProrresaiva Farmer.l

Progressive Farmer.)
Other articles in our last issue call
ed attention to the value of the county
fair and county school commence
ment. If your county didn't have a
fair last fall, it is high time to begin
planning for one next fall. and some
body will have to start the movement
going. Why not write a letter to the
editor of our county paper, to your
demonstration agent, your county
school superintendent, and the presf-
dent of your county Farmers Union.
and ask them to get together and see
if something can't be done?
Your county, too, ought not to miss
the inspiration of the county school
commencement. To see a thousand or
more sturdy, bright-eyed, ruddy-faced
country boys and girls marching to-
gether under the banners Of their re-
gpective school districts-this is to
get a new vision of the Importance and
possibilities of school work in your
county. And to have each school dis
trict compared with other school dis
triets in generous rivalry-this will
make thousands of patrons say, We'll,
we must beat our neighbors next
time!" If your county hasn't a com
.mencement this year. ask your county
school superintendent If he will not
try to have one next year.
If your county hasn't corn cluF
work, a county fair, and a county
school commencement, something is
! hot doing his duty. But just here, Mr.
Farmer, We would make a suggestion;
Don't just go to your neighbors ant
grumble about your county's not hav
ing these thing. Instead, the thingtC
do is to speak to the leading men IL
your county-school superintendent
demonstration agent. editor. Farmers
Union officials, county commissioners
etc.,-and say, II believe We ought t.
have these things, and if I can help,
am willing to do my part"
Don't be just a critic; be a cooper
ator.
