HISTORY WILL B£ REPEATED After Conventions Are Over Men Who Are Now Fighting Each Other Will Be Found Working for Party Choice. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.--There is strife in Washington between the forces at tached to the different headquarters of the various candidates of both par­ ties for the presidency of the United States. Mr. Taft's managers on their part and Mr. Roosevelt's managers on £h@ir part are sending letters back and forth full of bitterness, Innuendo and other things which are not at all nice reading to those who think that the tim« is come for peace on earth even among politicians. The same thing is in evidence among the Democratic managers. It must be said, however, that until a few days ago the Demo­ cratic champions of the different party candidates managed to keep the peace. Now. however, things have changed and charges are going back and forth, and the Republican camp and the Democratic camp look very much alike. Politicians of both parties here say that history will repeat itself and that after the conventions are over the men who are calling one another names will be found ^houlder to shoulder working on behalf of the nominees no matter whom they may be and will be entirely forgetful of everything that they said in the days preceding the convention. What is the history which has repeated itself? Virtually It is the history of every campaign, Democratic and Republican, which has been put on the pages of the country's record, although there have been admittedly one or two campaigns in both parties in which bitterness lasted after the convention days. Four years ago now the Republican party was split Just as it is today, only the "Bides" were different. Men who are championing Mr. Taft's nomina­ tion now were opposed to him when he was a seeker for the nomination the last time, and men who were for him then are now against him, al­ though, of course, this is not to be ac­ cepted as an absolutely comprehensive rule. AT® nvw tv iin iaii. The champions of Mr. Cannon and Mr. Fairbanks and some others for the nomination four years ago and who did all that they could to secure the nomination of the men to whom their hearts were given are now do­ ing what they can to put Mr. Taft into office. It was said four years ago that these men would carry their ani­ mosity into the campaign in case Taft were nominated, but the prophecy |proved 111 founded. It was Theodore iE. Burton of Ohio who presented Mr. iTaft's name to the convention of his 'party. It was the beginning of the jday of harmpny, and notice Mr. Bur- ton's honeyed words as addressed to the friends of the other candidates In the convention hall: "We welcome the friendly rivalry of candidates from other states--from the great Empire State, the Keystone state. Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin, forming with Ohio a broad expanse ex- tending in unbroken sweep from old ocean to the uppermost bounds of the greatest of Inland Beas. Each of these present a leader among leaders whose achievements and renown are not con­ fined to the narrow limits of a single commonwealth, "Today with fervid earnestness we wage a contest for the prire. Tomor­ row united for the fray and quicken­ ed by a common fiery zeal, the cham­ pions of all the candidates will go forth with mounting enthusiasm to vanquish the foe." Before and After. At the last Democratic convention at which a successful candidate for the presidency was named, the convention pf 1892, there were New York Demo­ crats in the convention hall to rise one after anothgr through the long hours of one day's session to declare that If Grover Cleveland was the can­ didate of the party he could not and ought not to be elected. It was said that the division In the party was such that if Mr. Cleveland. were again its standard bearer that overwhelming defeat would come from the Repub­ licans, and there were insinuations even that the men who were protest­ ing in the convention hall yould lead a bolt against his election. What happened? The New York delegation which voiced Its antago­ nism to Grover Cleveland and breath­ ed out all kinds of dismal prophecies pf defeat in case iip were nominated, went back home after the nomination had been carried against their protest, took off their coats and worked for Grover Cleveland and later voted for him at the November election. When Grewsome Relics of Old Wreck. During the recent widening of Lord street, Southport, by throwing a por­ tion of an old churchyard into the well-known boulevard. Interesting dis­ coveries were made, according to Lon- jon Answers. In one corner of the churchyard the remains of a corpse with cutlass and top-boots were found. Dther bodies found Interred closely to­ gether were evidently shipwrecked laiiors. FroijQ the shape of tue »»uu jf some of these they are believed to be those of the negro members of the ^ew of the Cblmaera, which, on the 18th of November, 1864, became a to­ tal wreck on the Horsebank, off South- port.

One Mine's Iron Output. A single mine in Minnesota pro- loeed a billion and a hair tons of lroo >re last year, which la more than was ised in all America before 1854. the Republican newspapers twitted the New York Democrats with doing what they said they would not do, the retort was that things are different before and after conventions.. So it is that both Republicans and Democrats in Washington today say that no matter how angry they may' seem to be now and no matter what thef may say now in antagonism to other candidates that after the June days will come the peace of July and the following months, a peace which will continue until the snow storm of votes begins on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. Members of the' arrangements committee for the annual conven­ tion of the Daughters of the Amer­ ican Revolution already are in Wash­ ington. The Daughters will gath­ er in their beautiful colonial memorial building before long to engage in their annual struggle for the election of officers, and when that is over to drop animosities and to work for the causes which brought the organization into existence. One needs neither prose nor poetic license to speak of the delegates to these conventions as "fair daughters" for surely they are a body of comely women, and the shades of the fore­ fathers that are supposed to float about the capital city of the land that they made, need not fear that a flush will steal into their cheeks or a frown fur­ row their shadowy browB at the sight of degeneracy In their descendant daughters. When spring comes the guides in the capitol whose duty it is to pilot visitors about earn their dally wage with half the usual effort because the guided ones in large majority are the Daughters of the American Revolution. The guides who are obliged to talk themselves tired explaining things to the ordinary tourist simply walk ahead of the daughters and point to jiictures or bust, and the tongues of the daugh­ ters do the rest. 8how Their Birth. The Daughters gather from all the states In the Union. It was not hard the last time they were here to sepa­ rate into localities of birth and bring­ ing up those who attended an after noon service at St. John's Episcopal church. It was not a service for the daughters. It as Just a plain everyday evening prayer, and the daughter had dropped in to see the historic build­ ing from a pew view. The spirits of their ancestors still dwelt within them. There were those from Massa­ chusetts with the Ironside blood in 'their veins, and those from Tennes­ see and Kentucky who in the person the old Covenanters live again. Then there were the Virginians, the New Yorkers and the South Carolinians-- daughters, so to speak, of the old brick sanctuary at Jamestown, tower­ ing Trinity and gray St. Michael's. Rocky Boy Now Is Happy. Word came to the Indian bu­ reau the other day that Chief Rockj Boy and his Indians In the fai northwest were satisfied with the home life, being contented and happy. Chief Rocky Boy once was very much in the congressional limelight. Foi years this Indian chief and his fol­ lowing had been wandering about the country, homeless, unable to hunt and doing little else but beg for a llv» lihood. Finally congress took action and the wandering mendicants were given a place to live. Former Sena­ tor Beveridge of Indiana is given credit for having done something for Rocky Boy, whose picturesque and somewhat suggestive name attracted more attention than did the supposed starving condition of the man who bore It. Rocky Boy and his warriors and women and children had never been able to get a home. They had been wandering through Montana living from hand to mouth and spurned alike by reds and whites. Bill after bill had been Introduced for their relief, but no bill ever came within sight of the passing stage. ' The name Rocky Boy finally struck a newspaper man's fancy. Possibly he had bad the feeling himself. In an idle moment he drew up a mock measure and in It 8enator Beveridge figured as Chief Rocky Boy, while a dozen or so other senators figured un­ der other names as members of Rocky Boy's band of wanderers. The names fitted admirably or misfitted just as admirably. Senator Allison, who in no conceivable circumstances would commit himself in words, was called Chief Talks-Too-Much. Senator Aid- rich, for reasons which may be ap­ parent to people who know something of him, ̂ appeared in the relief measure as Chief Smooth Medicine. Joke Brought Results. A copy of the skit fell under Sena­ tor Beveridge's eye. It amuBed him. He hung it on the wall of his room. He showed it to people, and finally one day it occurred to him that Rocky Boy and his band had done him a service, and he resolved to look into Rocky Boy's case. He did look into it and found that the chief and his wandering Montana band were wor­ thy of consideration. The Indiana senator made their cause bis owa Objecting senators were asked to 'be good," and a bill "for the relief of the wandering American-born Indians of Rocky Boy's band" passed the sen­ ate of the United States. Horse Went Through Window. A train in which two horses were being conveyed was approaching Crewe station, Cheshire, recently, when the lamp of the horse-box was seen to shoot from the roof of the car­ riage Into the air. The train was stopped, and it was found that one of the horses had plunged through the window, on the edge of which it was resting with its head and fore feet hanging over. To extricate the ani­ mal, which was wounded bj the brok­ en glass, a portion of the carriage had to be cut away and about 30 men had to work for nearly an hour.--London Mall.

Illinois will officially extend her en­ couragement of the pu*e bred live stock in a short time to the state charitable institutions, or to some of them. Hogs will be the stock directly affected. Members of the state board of ad­ ministration have solicited and re­ ceived assurance of the assistance of Chairman Phil B. Haner of the state livestock commission in procuring 101 head of pure bred hogs. The hogs will be of different breeds, and will be distributed among the state hos­ pitals at Elgin, Watertown, Chester, Normal, the deaf and blind institu­ tions at Jacksonville, and the state homes at Quincy, Geneva and St. Charles. The hogs will be procured and dis­ tributed purely for stock purposes. It is proposed to secure only pure bred stock, every hog to have been made immune, by serum inoculation, from cholera. By the adoption of this plan, it is aimed to put hog raising at the institutions affected on a pure blood basis, and to start free from disease. In carrying out this plan, the state board of administration will pursue the policy adopted some time ago with reference to cattle. It was found, when investigation was made by board officials, that many of the head of livestock, Including particularly milk cows, were not what they should have been physically, and belief is entertained that elimination of this class of stock will work to the good of the Institution Inmates, both physical­ ly and, to the board ultimately, finan- daily. Superintendent A. T. Peters of the state biological laboratory will go to Quincy Saturday to address a meeting of city and county stock men on the subject of hog cholera. Woman's Good Roads Meeting. The ftrst official call has be^n sent out for the first Illinois Women's State Good Roads conven­ tion, which will be held at the Audi­ torium hotel, Chicago, April 3 and 4. The call is signed by Arthur C. Jackson, president , of the National Good Roads association and of the Illi­ nois State Good Roads association. The call for the convention con­ cludes with the following: "When the agricultural production alone of the United States, for the past eleven years, totals more than seventy billion dollars, a sum to stag­ ger the imagination, and it costs more to take this product from the farm to the railway station than from such station to the American and European martlets, and when the saving in cost of moving this product of agriculture over good roads Instead of bad would have built a million miles of good roads, the Incalculable waste of bad roads In this country is shown to b6 of such ettormous proportions as to demand Immediate reformation and the wisest and best statesmanship. "Great as is the loss to transporta­ tion, mercantile, Industrial and farm­ ing Interests, Incomparably greater is the loss to women and children, and social life, .a matter as important as civilization Itself and the truth of the declaration of Charles Sumner, fifty years ago, that 'the two greatest forces for the advancement of civiliza­ tion are the schoolmaster and good roads,' is emphasized by the experi­ ence of the intervening years, and points to the wisdom of a union of educational forces for aggressive ac­ tion for permanent roads and streets. "Women who are interested are urged to be present from every town and county in the state." Many Want Hard Roads- Application for the assistance of the state highway commission in con­ structing hard roads have been sent in to the commission by nearly fifty communities, but the commission can aid not more than thirty-three. A meeting of the state commission will be held to discuss the situation and select the communities where roads will be built. Ten applications were accepted some time ago, and this leaves the number of new applications which can be accepted only twenty-two. A shortage in equipment and the lack of sufficient money in the fund appro­ priated by the state legislature is the cause of the inability of the commis­ sion to aid the good road cause as much as it would like to do. The commission has but eleven out­ fits for road-making, and each one of these outfits can care for but three road construction contracts in a sea­ son. The roads which the communities Intend t6 build will be from one to twenty miles in length. ILLINOIS NEWS TERSELY TOLD You are only what yon are when no one is looking. Chicago Sculptor Wins Contest.
