ASKS SUPPORT OF DIXIE LAND

William Howard Taft Makes a Fervent Appeal to the Southerners. SHOULD DESERT DEMOCRAT OUGHT NOT VOTE ONE WAY ALL THE WHILE PRAYING FOR RE PUBLICAN VICTORY, SAYS REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE. Bristol, Term., Oct 17. William H. Taft's keynote for Tennessee and the south, was struck by the candidate at Chattanooga. Throughout he has followed the same line of argument, and met with the same hearty response. With verbal amplifications, Mr. Taft emphasizing this argument: "With, the material Interests of the south dependent upon continuance of Republican policies, with nothing but historic tradition demanding its people to vote the Democratic ticket praying meanwhile for the success of Republicanismwith - southern; Democracy nothing but a tail to northern Democracy's kite, then why not now take the first political cold plunge, go politically where the material interests of the country demand, and vote the Republl'can ticket?" "One of the things that brought the north and the south closely together was the Spanish war," said Mr. Taft in his Chattanooga speech. "There, for the first time after the civil war, we were able to demonstrate how close our hearts were across the Ohio river and the Masons and Dixon line by a rush to uphold the flag of our country in freeing Cuba and in maintaining the authority of the flag the country over. "My feeling always has been that the sympathies and the interests of the south were largely with the Republican policy in regard to Cuba, Porto Rico, and the Philippines. My personal experience in the Philippines makes me think there was as great an interest la the success of that experiment in the south as there was In. the north. South Helped to Fight Battles. "It is true there was a good deal of eloquence hurled at us from the floor of the senate and house as to the awful things we- were 'doing in the Philippines and th liberty we were sacriflc- , Jng.'but when we called upon the south 'to.farnlsh her quota of men who were ' twjtet tb 1 country's battles ' over tiure, who were to make part of the " efficient government over there, we did ; not find the south wanting. And I am glad to be able to see that in the service of the Philippines and in the selectlon of men to represent America there In that government we never paid the slightest heed to state lines. "We have as many democrats in the Philippine service today as we have republicans, and we have as many southern men as we have northern men. "Your own Gen. Wright of Tennessee was governor and made a fine governor there. The present governor, Smith, is a democrat from California. Gov. Ide and I are republicans, but we did not know any difference there and the pleasure of dealing with a government in which there was no difference and in which no sectional lines were recognized is what makes me long for a similar condition in this country. Vote One Way and Pray the Other. "Are you going to vote the same way you have heretofore and pray for republican success, or are you going to assume some sort of responsibility, with reference to the national government? I Voice: Vote for Taft. That la an interruption that somehow does not ruffle me. "The south has been the tail to the northern democratic kite. When you are carried in the pocket of a man and make no uncomfortable disturbance in that pocket you are not going to exei--cise much influence with the gentleman that carries you; when you furnish no electoral votes and substantially but little congressional support to a republican administration is not human nature that your leading men should have Influence with republican administrations. Hopes South Will Enter Fold. "What I am hopeful of is that these gentlemen who really sympathize with us will come over, will swell the present republican party to a size that shall give us the electoral vote, and WE COULDN'T AFFORD to send you a poor grade of coal the- first time or subsequently, if we wanted to remain in business for the first bad lot would mean our last order. We have the coal to make your fire for heating or cooking, burn the way you want it, most of heat, least of ash, nothing of slate or dirt Only reason for asking your orders. . J H.

SEEKS GUARANTORS Secretary Shera of Chautauqua Is Busy Today Securing Guarantee List. "FIGHTING BOB" MAY COME. An effort was made by Secretary Shera of the Chautauqua association today to secure a list of forty guarantors for the Chautauqua of next year. The names of forty men at $25 each will be solicited. While $1,000 does not represent one third of the actual expense of such an undertaking, it is believed sufficient to insure the association against deficit. In the six years that the Chautauqua has been in progress practically no trouble has been encountered in securing the required number of guarantors. Preliminary arrangements that are being made indicate next year's Chautauqua will include excellent talent than ever has appeared here. Among the list of available men now being considered appears the names of Booker T.

Evansville, Ind., Oct, 17. Tennyson's Enoch Arden Is rivaled In an event that has Just taken place in a Dubois county town several miles north of here, which has Just come to light. When Mat Schmitt, aged 78 years, one of the best known citizens of the county and wealthy, was seated in the postoffice talking -with a stranger he learned that his wife, with whom he had lived for years, had never been divorced from her first husband.

his rival in a cabin in the forests of Arkansas. There Kime talked with John McArnold, wrung from -him a story of a love so great that it melted the heart of the avenger and spurred him to a sacrifice more sublime than either of the two great romances of fact and fiction mentioned. Kime shook hands with McArnold, relinquished all claim to his wife, promised to return at once and secure a divorce in order that their love might be 'made honorable, and as a crowning display of generosity, offered to give the couple financial assistance as soon as they were married.

The musician with a compassionate smile watched the poet trimming the fringe from his cuff. "After all," he said, "your verse may live when Marie Corelli, Winston Churchill and Hall Caine himself are forgotten. Remember the case of Guarnerius." "Who was he?" the poet asked. "A pauper and a violin maker. Guarnerius in the seventeenth century made violins that everybody thought too thick; hence they brought only $2 apiece. Musicians would buy them and have them pared down. "Guarnerius insisted that they were not too thick. When he heard of one of his instruments being pared down he flew into a frightful rage. He had a grouch against the world because it wouldn't agree Vith him about violin making. He died a pauper because the world would have none of his violins. "A Guarnerius is now and then to be picked up. Usually it is a pared instrument, and its value Is not very high. But find an unpared Guarnerius and yon can get anything you like for It It is one of the world's few perfect violins. "But Guarnerius died a pauper. The Hall Caines and Winston Churchills of the violin world of his day refused with sneers to drink with him. He, too, trimmed his cuffs." Los Angeles Times. Fasoination of an Old Bookstore. "There seems to be a fascination about an old - bookstore . that some persons find It difficult to overcome," observed the proprietor of one of those establishments. "While we have a large number of good patrons, there are some who delight to come In and Just pore over old volumes. . I have seen men stand in this store and practically read a book through in an afternoon. They seem to forget their surroundings for the time being, and when they emerge from their abstraction they are apt to observe that they 'have just been looking over the books' and ask for some volume that they are quite sure Is out of print Yes. sir, the old bookstore Is a free library In a way, but it is an interesting business and fairly profitable." Philadelphia Record. Fake Remnants. A country storekeeper, a pair of long, bright shears in hand, calmly cut a roll of silk into remnants. "Women," he explained to his city cousin, "are remnant mad. There are women who never buy except at remnant sales. Such women will pass by goods In the piece at a quarter a yard and snap op the same goods In remnant lengths at 30 cents. "So great is the demand for remnants that It Is impossible to keep np the legitimate supply." The country storekeeper winked. "Hence," he said, "my present occupation." Los Angeles Times. Silenced.

CHURCHES SHOULD ASSIST THE POOH

Associated Charities Makes Appeal to Churches of City for Aid. BIG RESPONSE EXPECTED. ASSOCIATED CHARITIES HAS ALWAYS MADE INDIVIDUAL AP PEALS UNTIL THIS YEAR MORE MONEY NEEDED. The Associated Charities has issued a statement to every church in the city asking financial assistance for the care of the needy and sick poor this coming winter. The association believes that it is the duty of every churc hto look after the poor and as the association is the recognized medium for this work, the officials of the worthy organization see no reason why every church in the city should not respond liberally to the appeal for financial aid. In the past the association has appealed to the public at large for contributions but the response has never been liberal. Last year the winter coming right after the financial panic found many people out of employment and unable to secure work. Consequently there was more than the usual amount of suffering in this city and the demands made upon the Associated Charities were so great that in a very short space of time all the funds at hand had been expended for fuel, food, clothing and medicine. The Associated Charities then sent out an appeal for assistance ' from every citizen who could afford to make contributions, either cash or by fuel, clothing, food, etc. The Palladium came to the assistance of the society and appealed to its readers to contribute to a fund, which would be turned over to the association. The response to this appeal was very gratifying, but nevertheless all the money turned over to the charitable organization was expended before the close of the long, hard winter and the society had borrowed $250. This amount still remains unpaid and there is only J134 in the treasury. It Is estimated that the Associated Charities will require at least $2,000 to meet the demands that will be made on it this year. At the next regular meeting of the Associated Charities it is expected the reports from all the churches will have been received. ORIGINAL "TOPSY DIES IN EAST Mrs. Geo. C.

OUR EARLY STATESMEN: Monroe's Expansion Views and Madison's Population Guess. 1 Some of our early statesmen were not expansionists. Washington was opposed to assuming the ownership of the Mississippi river, and James Monroe when a member of the Virginia convention In 1788 argued against the adoption of the federal constitution for geographical reasons. "Consider," he said, "the territory lying between the Atlantic ocean and the Mississippi. Its extent far exceeds that of the German empire. It is larger than any territory that ever was under any one free government. It Is too extensive to be governed but by a despotic monarchy." And this from the man who thirty years later was elected president of the United States extended far beyond the Mississippi and who became the author of the "Monroe doctrine." A year after the adoption of the con. stltutlon James Madison thought he was making a bold guess when he estimated that the population of the country might "in some years," doable In number and reach 6,000,000. He lived to see far beyond that Yet it is true that for a number of years the population was largely confined to the original thirteen colonies. In 1789. when the constitution was adopted New York city had 33.000 Inhabitants In 1817 It had 115.000, Philadelphia 112.000, Baltimore 55.000, Boston 40.000. Providence 10.000. Hartford 8.000. Pittsburg 7.000, Cincinnati 7,000 and St. Louis 3.500. Chicago was but a fort and Indianapolis was an unbroken wilderness. The . country wag not crowded yet. F-rhTire. Be Sot Raafa.
