GARFIELD BOOM IS A REAL LIVE ONE

His Candidacy for Republican Presidential Nomination Is Flourishing. BY SIDNEY ESPEY Wahhington, July 31. Even though the national nominating convention of the Republican party is a year off, the enemies of President Taft are casiIng about for some suitable candidate to oppose him. The progressives hav already Hounded their war cry against Taft and have made known their intentions to make a bitter fight to gain control of the convention. The name of almost every progressive ban been linked with the candidacy, but the latest boom which must be considered seriously Is that of James Rudolph Garfield, of Ohio. Friends who are close to Mr. Garfield former secretary of the interior, admit that he is giving serious consideration to the idea of entering tho race and making a fight to take hi home state from President Taft. It has only been recently that the avowed intention of the progressive Republicans to make a fight on Taft has been given any serious consideration by the politicians. As time has passed, the progressives have gained etrength from quarters unexpected even to them. This has given him confidence, and today it is a well known fact that they will make a strong fight againBt Taft. But even the boldest of their adherents could .not have BURpected that a fight would be made on Taft in his own state. Feel Out Situation The progressives were quick to recognize the fact that no outside man could stand a chance to take the Ohio delegation away from Taft. Friends of Mr. Garfield have been feeling out the situation with the plan of making the former secretary their standard bearer. Progressives in Ohio have recently declared that the President's position in his home state has been bo weakened, and the reeling of antagonism so strong against him. that, if he were renominated, the state of Ohio would certainly be lost to the Republicans. So widespread has become this Idea that many of the leaders in Ohio are turning with favor to Mr. Garfield. The internal strife which has rent the ranks of the Republican party for tho past two years is Just bearing fruit. The President has found himself in many embarasHing positions, but to lose his home state would cap the climax. It is a matter of desperate seriousness to the Republican leaders of Ohio. They believe that their state would be certain to go Democratic if Taft and Harmon were to be the opposing candidates. The book of Garfield for president is a plan on the part of the leaders to sidetrack Taft and save the state for the Republicans. Au Ohio Democrat at the White House would give so much strength to his party in the Buckeye state that the Republican party would be demoralized. It Is more than probable that it would be many years befoje the Republicans would recover from the blow "and have and chance of carrying the state. Whatever good the candidacy of Garfield would do the Republican party in the state, it will not be an easy matter for him to secure the Ohio delegation. The candidacy of Mr. Garfield would be particularly embarrassing to Senator Theodore Burton. He and Garfield both belong to the Cleveland wing of the party. Each is a promising candidate for the gold medal to be voted to the favorite son of the north end of the state. Senator Burton has lately been appearing as the spokesman for the administration. There is little doubt but that a hot fight 'will be waged which may result ,Jn a split in the Ohio Delegation. Charges P. Taft naturally would be looked to as general manager of the interests of his brother, and the politicians calculate that each of the two candidates would develop most strength in his own part of the state, Taft in the pouth and Garfield In the north. Would Have Support There is little doubt that if Garfield vas to become a candidate he would Slave the undivided support of all the antl-Taft element of the party. The La Follette forces will fall in line for Jiim. This asutnption arises Trom statements made by the progressive .Wisconsin Benator himself. He said that any one selected by tile progressives to be their candidate would have the undivided support of the progresVivese. There will be no friction among the progressives as to shall be candidate. The man that they feel can give the insurgents the most strength will be named. In addition to the support of the La Follette forces there is strong feeling that the candidacy of Garfield would force Theodore Roosevelt into an attitude of acquiescence, if not support. This would give Garfield much additional strength, for the ex-president estill has a great hold upon the voters f the country. A red hot contest for the Ohio delegation, it is declared by the Anti-Ttft "Republicans would have a nationvide influence. It would give encouragement to the anti-administration movement in other states, and be followed by pressing the fight all along the line. There can be no doubt of this, for, If the progressives were to capture the stronghold of the Taft element, states which are considered doubtful would be much easier to swing. Moreover, the fight would be made on a series of issues with which the name of Garfield would be closely allied. This would serve as a means ot focusing the attention of the people upon him. Of all the names of progressives that have been mentioned as possibilities, the seleetioa of Garfield seems the most logical. There is no other among them who could make nearly fto strong a fight for Ohio. Not only trill be be able to make the strongest

Y. attempt to wreBt the state from Taft, but he will make a strong fight against any man the Democrats will support at the polls.: This is of vital importance, because the National election may hinge upon the way Ohio goes. The Republicans would find it almost impossible to elect their presidential candidate with the loss of Ohio. The former secretary of the interior was in Washington recently, and especial interest was manifetsted here in the reports of his political purposes. A large number of friends close to him talked with him and, while he has been unwilling to make any final decision, they express a strong hope that he will yet become a candidate. The plan of bringing out favorite sons in the effort to keep the majority of delegates from Taft has never been looked upon with much favor by the progressives. There is, however, much ground for believing that a change of front is possible in view of the Garfield talk.

Did you ever have the good fortune to look over an edition of Godey's Lady's Book, that fashion authority of antebellum days? Well, if you have you will recognize features of some of the summer gowns as reproductions of these old frocks with a few modern touches. For instance, the dress illustrated of old tlraey patterned black and green foulard. The modern touch here is the tucked sleeves and he cords about the waist line which this season finish many of the best gowns at this point.

The Women

When Men Are Kude. "My dear, isn't he the rudest thing you ever saw?" This is shrilled in an indignant nasal twang as a man walks rapidly by two giggling girls and does not hold the door back for them to pass. It does look rude, but they forget that that same man Just held back the other door and that they teetered through it without a smile of acknowledgment or the faintest "Thank you." The girl who continually complains that men are growing rude is very frequently rude herself. The girl who is gentle aud appreciative generaliy has no grievance along this line. She has learned that the average man like to be courteous as much as the average woman wants him to be. Watch a girl who is modestly gracious. Doors are held open, window shades are adjusted, seats are given uj yes. even this last sacrifice is mads and precedence is yielded her at evcrj step. She does not demand attention but by her very presence she inspire it. It is not only the obviously cheaj girl who is rude. The woman who bears every mark of refinement and wealth will Ignore the commonest ci vilities in a manner that leaves the ob server gasping. Look around you and see the womeii who are left to struggle with heavy doors and to pull themselves up thv high steps of the trolleys and then loolat the women who are always helped always considered, even by the moss negligent member of the male sex. First Calls. A first call should be returned withib a week. The correct hours for calliuj; are between 3 and G in the afternoou If your hostess is out, you leave one of your own cards for her and two of your husband's one for her aud one for her husband. If she is unmarried, you leave only one of your husband's cards with the one of your own. If you are unmarried you leave one card of your own. If she is at home you leave no card of your own, but one of your hus band's for an unmarried and two for a married woman. The general length of time for a cali Is about twenty minutes. Anything in the way of an umbrella or parcel that you happen to be carrying should be left in the hall. About Inquiries. If you hear that one of your acquaintances Is ill or in trouble it is usual to call at the house to ask howshe is and leave a card having "With kind inquiries" or "With sincere sympathy" written on it. You should not go in unless you are 'specially pressed to do so. When your friend is better she will probably send out postcards having "With thanks for kind inquiries" written on them. These cards count as a call, and it is then your turn to call again. Card Invitations. In a general way there is no very marked change iu the correct forms of card Invitations, letters of introduction or in the convention of visiting cards. The preference for the old English and colonial text and also for the English script continues, although the Roman text may still be preferred by those who are accustomed to its use, but it is not nearly as much in vogue as In former seasons. Wedding Gifts. The necessary silver for a bride is four sets of spoons, which include tablespoons, dessertspoons, teaspoons and after dinner coffeespoons; four sets of forks, including oyster forks, and two sizes of steel knives with silver handles and also silver butter knives. If the carving is to be done on the table two sets of carvers will be needed. Auy of these will make acceptable wedding gifts. Cards. When the maid brings a visitor's card to a mistress, saying that there is a caller in the drawing room, it would be best for her to bring the card down afterward and leave it In the card receiver on the hall table; otherwise it might be mislaid. It is usually best to have some special place for the cards of the day in order that they may not be confused with those of callers on previous days Shun Slang. Slang Is a thing which can be in dulged in only by those who are per fectly secure of their social status though, ou the other hand, an over fastidious pronunciation of words am; a studious correctness of articulation are apt to suggest the idea that wt have only lately come into possession of our h's and our grammar and hav( in consequence to be guarded in oui conversation. A Well Bred Air. It is not merely the etiquette but th tone of good society which should b cultivated by those who are makln? their way in the world. Ill bred habits of speech, attitudes and tricks oJ expression will stamp a person, no mat ter how ceremoniously correct his ot her entertainment how excellent hi wine or how irreproachable her cos tume. There is a decided preference for evening gowns of gray, the shades being, of course, those that are at their best under artificial light. Stone gray is not favored, though combined with cedise in various way and embroidered in silver it has found some admirers. Girls are showing again a fancy for low-neck dresses completed with second empire collars of muslin lace or embroidery. Ths Ir.stejJ.

A BUSINESS REVIEW OF THE PAST WEEK' BY HENRY CLEWS

Any comprehensive view of the outlook for the financial market this week merits carerul consideration of foreign affairs even more than of developments at home. Growing out of the Moroccan rivalries of France and Germany, international relations of the great powers of Europe have reached a state of such keen delicacy ;is to require most skillful touches of diplomacy, of good and calm judgment and honest endeavor to prevent what promises to reach very close to a seriuus cuiiuniauuu oi w nai at nrsi ap-! m , . . , - peared a petty affair , . !

properly. mere canot fail to recognize . in the Franco-German controversy the spark of a fire that has long been smouldering, ready on the slightest encouragement to break out into a conflagration that might readily become uncontrollable. Under such circumstances European iinancial centers have before them a period of nervous tension. Today there is but one money market a worldwide market of which London, New York. Paris, Berlin and other centers are mere branches, and rise or fall in sympathy. Until the European political outlook clears, therefore, it is not unlikely to exercise a retarding influence on our own stock market's oriee level. it nnmo rrm1 it irn a ora ti i-m-i fi ! ...

Unsettling influences against wnicn ine tinaneiai markets nave haa to contend for a year or more are on hy one being eliminated, and in a fortnight or so the slate will have been cleared. An important development of the week in this connection has been the Interstate Commerce Commission's decisions confirming its previous position in ordering reduced rates for freight transportation in Rocky Mountain territory. These decisions are in what are known as the Spokane and Reno rate cases, which have been keenly watched in railroad and financial circles for a long time because of the accurate test they were expected to provide in the matter of the long and short haul cases in the Interstate Commerce Act. The decisions mean some contraction in the revenues of the large Western trunk lines, but it is most likely that the practical working out of the Commission's rulings will not prove as drastic as railroad men were inclined at first to believe. At any rate, if rates were excessive, as has been shown by the Interstate Commission, they should be moderated, and it may be taken for granted that proper rates for the transportation of merchandise will in the long run redound to the benefit of the carriers by providing a compensatory increase in the volume of merchandise demanding transportation. The second important influence of the week at home has been the enactment by the-New York State Legislature of a law which extends for five years the period in which the large insurance companies may dispose of the securities that they are not now permitted to carry their surpluses in. Had this amendment to the Armstrong law not been enacted, it would have meant that securities amounting J to more than $SO,000,000 must have been sold before the first of January or the officers of the companies would personally be criminally liable. As it is, the companies will now have ample time to dispose of these securities without the spur of a time limit. It should be understood that these stocks that are held by the insurance people are In most instances highly conservative investment stocks, and the liquidation is merely in response to the requirements of the Armstrong NEW' 75c and $1.00 a Bale OmerG.Whelan Feed & Seed Store Phone 1679 33 South 6th St. ATLAS ALPHA UNIVERSAL CEKJE

law that insurance company investments shall he in bonds. On our own side of the water there now remain but two detinite features that are calculated to restrain business in the financial, mercantile and industrial activities of the country. These influences are the waning session of Congress and the possibilities of tariff revision that still remain. Congress has already enacted the specific legislation for which it was called in extraordinary session, namely, the

Of the last two named, however. there is considerable doubt whether made in these advices that Congress will adjourn very close to August 10. When this adjournment has taken place the general financial situation will be in a position in which it will be influenced by the day-today news developments. All the old restraints will have passed into history, including the celebrated trust cases, the Union Pacific merger, the Spokane and Reno cases, the uncertainty regarding the holding of securities by insurance companies and a number of other influences that have been talked of so frequently during the last year that they have almost become tiresome. The controlling factors from now on will be the devolpments of the crops i and the prospect of the money situa tion. Rains have this week been so general and beneficial that very little is now heard of crop failure, even in local sections. The cotton outlook still favors a new record in volume of production, a factor that has exercised recently a distinct degree of depression of prices for the staple. Wheat and corn prices have also declined and have in this way reflected the Improved conditions in the grain fields. In fact the general harvest outlook has reached such a stake that he must indeed be a pessimist who will fail to recognize that we have before us another season of great agricultural prosperity, namely, the ability of our farming sections to buy the products of our factories and thus produce a revival in general business. Exports of merchandise are continuing on a highly satisfactory scale and are constantly adding to our already large international trade balance. Our banks are beginning to experience their usual annual demands for funds to move the crops, but there is no practical hardening of interest charges and prospects certainly continue to favor the position that the harvests will be financed this year without any serious strain on money rates and without the important liquidation of securities that such a strain would entail. Crop money will undoubtedly be very extensively released before the demands of trade and industry become insistent and our abilHAMMOCK'S AT A BIG DISCOUNT The Geo. Brehm Co. 517 Main St.
