RAI1K AND FILE TO DICTATEJO PARTY District Meetings to All Intents and Purposes Will Be Primaries.

(Palladium Special) INDIANAPOLIS, March 9. Indiana Republicans will, to all intents and purposes, enjoy the presidential preference primary this month. While the form of the primaries for electing delegates to the district conventions la the same as usual, the issue between candidates for the -presidential nomination is bo clearly drawn, that it makes it practically possible for the rank and file of the party to vote direct for the choice of the man to head the national ticket. In each ward and township, there will be delegates to the district convention, who are openly Roosevelt or Taft men. They will be pledged to vote In the conventions for delegates to the National Republican convention, who are committed publically to support either Taft or Roosevelt. Thus it Is explained that the voter knows when he casts a vote at the primary, just who he is voting; for in the National convention. Convention Dates. The district conventions will each select two delegates to the national convention. These district conventions will be held as follows: First, at Evansvllle. March 15; Second, Vlncennes, March 28; Third, New Albany, March 25; Fourth, North Verncp, March 25; Fifth, Terre Haute, March 25; Sixth, RuBhville, March 28; Seventh, Indianapolis, March 16; Eighth, M uncle, March 28; Ninth, Lebanon. March 28; Eleventh, Wabash, March 25. The Roosevelt men feel that 'they have been somewhat at a disadvantage because the Taft managers have control of the political machinery, through federal officeholders and the state organisation. Bnt they declare than an overwhelming preference for Roosevelt on the part of the rank and file of the party will offset the organlied advantage. A Popular Demand. There la a popular aemana mat ine machine politicians keep their hands off the primaries in order that there may be an honest expression of Republicans as to the Indiana choice for the presidential nomination. Fred Sims, state Republican chairman, has given his assurance that the state organization is Interested only in the election of the man who Is nominated, and will not Interfere in the naming of the candidate. The Roosevelt managers concede the fairness of Mr. Sims, but they learned that In spite of his attitude, county chairmen and in some instances district chairmen are attempting to use their party organizations to advance the interests of Mr. Taft. "If the primaries are conducted fairly and honestly as they should be," says Edwin M. Lee, head of the state Roosevelt movement, then the winner, whether he be Mr. Roosevelt or Mr. Taft, can reasonably count on the whole party in Indiana standing by him at the polls. And we here at headquarters are anxious that nothing be done by those controlling the political organization in the state, which will give men who favor the nomination of Roosevelt, any excuse for feeling resentful after the primaries."

SLEEP AND REST. Kvery Organ of the Human Body Has Its Periods of Ropooo. All the organs of life rest In some way or other. The heart has an interval of rest between each combined act of contraction and expansiou and the beginning of a fresh act. Between each expiration of the lungs and the succeeding inspiration there 1s a period of repose. Physiologists have calculated that the heart reposes during about one-fourth of the time. Certain of the other organs suspend their nctirlty in part during sleep. Old physiologists supposed that sleep was caused by the pressure of the blood ou the brain. But modern physiology, with a tendency to regard the brain as the origin of all force and of all functions of the body. Inclines to the view that sleep is caused by a withdrawal of blood from the brain. As a rule, the larger the brain the more sleep it requires. Webster went to bed at 0 o'clock and rose at 5. General Grant used to say during bis campaigns, "I can do nothing without nine hours' sleep." A curious trait has marked men of large brain that of sleeping at will. Bonaparte used to throw himself on the ground and go to sleep within a apace of two minutes. Pitt was a sound sleeper and slept night after night in the bouse of commons while his colleagues watched the debate aod roused him when it was necessary that be should speak. New York Herald. Good Business. A famous pistol shot told a shooting story at a supper In San Francisco. "There was a party of amateurs here In Frisco," he said, "who thought they would do some live pigeon shooting, so they ordered thirty birds from a auburtntn dealer. "The shoot came off duly. It was a wonder. To give you a correct idea of it I must quote from a letter sent by the dealer to the amateurs the next day. The letter ran: " 'Gentlemen I thank you for your order and beg to state that I will be only too happy to supply you with birds for all future shoots. The entire thirty pigeons, for which yon paid me 15 cents a head, returned home safely and, moreover, brought two strays with them. My price to you hereafter will be 1 cent per pigeon.'

PHILIPPINE SAVAGES. The Uneeuth Tingiana Are Fond of Ornaments and Oay Colors. There are many strange, uncivilized people among the Asiatic Americans of the Philippine Islands. The Tingians are a very uncouth tribe of savages. Their bead women have their arms almost completely covered with strings of beads, wound so aa to form beautiful and striking designs. A long, heary string of beads ia also twisted around the hair and bangs down the back like a braid. The skirt of these head women is white, with a blue border, and the waist is of light yellow. They smoke pipes of solid silver, ornamented with bangles, in the bowls of which piece of cigar are inserted. The typical young Tlngian chieftain wears a stiff collar of beads and a gayly colored calico shirt, over which is a aort of scarf trimmed with many silver coins. The members of this tribe are very fond of silver. They make a large number of finger rings from silver coins, and each man usually has from five to ten of these rings about his person, but not necessarily on his fingers. The Tlnglaias are fond of a peculiar dunce. The music is produced by beating with the palms of the hands on fgansas" or tomtoms. The dancers, a man end a woman, with arms outstretched, circle about each other in a spiral, the man pursuing the. womau with a quick, jerky step. As they approach the center of the spiral be suddenly swoops upon her, when she always eludes him by suddenly darting out of bis reach. Forrest Clark in Les lie's.

(National News Association) WASHINGTON, D. C. March 9. Fifty years ago today the famous and epoch-making naval battle between the Monitor and the M err! mac, which saved the federal fleet from destruction at a critical moment and marked the beginning of a new era In the construction of warships, was fought off Fortress Monroe. In commemoration of the historical event and to honor rthe memory of John Ericsson, the in ventor and builder of the Monitor which became the prototype of our modern battleships, the Swedish-American Republican League of Illinois has arranged for tonight a celebration at the Auditorium in Chicago, which President Taft will honor with his presence. The Swedish-Americans of Illinois have arranged for this occasion an interesting program of exercises to give expression to their patriotic pride in their famous countryman John Ericsson, who was born in Sweden in 1804 and came to the United States about 1840. Ericsson has received an excellent scientific training and at the age of twenty-four was captain of engineers in the Swedish army. Mathematics and mechanics were his favorite studies and he invented many valuable and important instruments and contrivances, including caloric and steam engines. Two years after his arrival in . this country he designed for the United States government the first screw-propeller war ship, the steamship Princeton. For years Ericsson had studied and planned to invent a new type of war Bhlp that would revolutionize naval warfare. Love for the country of his birth and hatred of Russia, his country's national enemy, inspired him and gradually his fertile brain evolved the idea of an armored vessel with a rotary turret, the Monitor type, which he afterwards perfected. He offered his idea to Napoleon III, but the latter merely adopted the armor suggestion for his cruisers In the Black Sea, without giving Ericsson's Monitor craft a trial. The Swedish inventor's idea was not put to a practical teBt until fifty years ago today, when the memorable battle between the Monitor and the Merrimac was fought. In April, 1861, Capt. McCauley, the commandant of the Norfolk Navy Yard, fearing a coup by the Virginia State, government, decided to abandon the navy yard and to destroy all the buildings, docks, stores and vessels there at the time. He carried out this ESIAKIY

plan, but the Confederates took possession of all the stores that had not been destroyed and of the partly burned hulls of the vessels. One of them, the hull of the forty-gun frigate Merrimac, which had suffered comparatively little was raised by the confederate engineers and remodeled in imitation of the iron-clad ships' of Napoleon. It was provided with an ironplated superstructure, the walls of which sloped at an angle of 35 degrees and gave protection to the ten powerful guns with which the ship was equipped. At the beginning of October, 1861, four months after the raising of the Merrimac by the Confederates at Norfolk, the federal., government, which had received information of the work of transforming the former frigate into an impregnable iron-clad vessel,entered into a contract with John Ericsson for the construction of a war vessel of such type as would effect the same purpose that the Merrimac aimed to achieve. The inventor had in mind his Monitor type, which had been favorably reported upon by the naval board and this idea was caoied out in the construction of the craft. The keel was laid in the shipyard of the Continental Iron Works, Greenpoint, Long Island, on October 25, 1861 and in one hundred days the work was completed. On February 19, 1862, the new ironclad was turned over to the federal government and on March 4, the guns of the vessel were mounted.

craft was named Monitor. Without delay the strange craft started on its way to the South. The Merrimac; which had just been completed on March 8, 1S62, entered Hampton Roads, shortly afternoon of that day and gave battle to the federal fleet assembled there. The battle was disastrous for the federal ships, which were unable to do any damage lo the Merrimac and were completely at the mercy of her powerful guna. The Monitor, passing Cape Henry, heard the thunder 'of battle, but could not reach the scene of the fight until night. It was on the following morning March 9, 1862. that the famous duel between the Monitor and the Merrimac was fought. It resulted in a draw, but conclusively proved the possibility of stopping even so formidable a craft as the Merrimac by means of a vessel of the Monitor type, equipped with a revolving turrent and heavy armor.

A Chinese Rusa, Over 2.000 years ago tliere was a war between China and Mongolia, and China was invaded by a Mongolian army under Mao-tun. The Chinese emperor was besieged In the city of Ping, and when the situation seemed to be hopeless he ordered that a number of lay figures representing beautiful women be made and exposed on the city walls. He then caused a message to be sent to the wife of the Mongolian leader to ttS effect that these attractive maidens were intended as a present to her husband. The ruse was entirely successful. The siege was raised forthwith and Mao-tun was removed out of the temptation zone by his apprehensive spouse. OKI OF THE on added to the. lot . IP AITx Y
