LLINOIS IS

PLANNING TO DEPOSE TAFT

OYSTER BAY, July 1. That President Taft'a name may be taken from !fhe regular Republican ballot in Illinois and that of Col Roosevelt substituted was the message brought here loday by R. W. McCormick, of Chicago who was a Roosevelt delegate at the

uiational convention. Mr. McCormick

Kcalne to Oyster Bay and held a long

conference with Col. Roosevelt. He ia fbelieved to have come east as an em-

jjbassary of Gov. Deneen, of Illinois.

5 When 'the Colonel bolted the regular

convention McCormick refused to follow him. Today upon his arrival he gave out a statement that indicated the progressive movement is making big gains in he middle west and especially in Illinois. "I don't know of any calamity at Chicago bo far as Roosevelt is concerned," he said. "They put up a candidate in the regular convention who oannot be elected. The progressive movement has proved more important tlian many thought it would. In fact liters i a strong disposition on the pajrt of the Illinois state organization of Republicans to drop Mr. Taft entirely and follow Mr. Roosevelt. Mr. Tafticannot carry Illinois and it is best to get behind some one who can win or we will lose the state machinery entirely!. " Mr. McCormick explained that the matter of substituting Roosevelt's nametfor Taft'a on the ballot has been

receiving serious consideration from Lome of the leaders. He said that they

believe it could be legally done.

AfterUhe conference Col. Roosevelt

Issued a. statement calling on all pro-

fee8ives to join the third party moveent. Speaking of the Illinois situa

tion, the Colonel declared that if Gov

ernor Deneen did not fall in line with

the progressives of his state, the lat

her would put a ticket In the field and (defeat him next fall. In outlining the

plan for the new party the Colonel

said that ho did not contemplate form

ing an organization in every state.

To beautiful Eva Swain, the 15-year-old daughter of Edgar Swain, a retired lawyer, has gone the honor of becoming the first American prima ballerina at the Metropolitan opera house. The announcement that Director GattiCasazza has chosen this lithe-limbed young girl from among more than 300 applicants from all over Europe and the United States to be the premier danseuse during the opera season next year, has caused a sensationn in operatic circles here and abroad. Always previously the choice has been some famous ballerina from one of the European ballets. Although she has only studied three years, Miss Swain, can execute with delicate gracefulness all the movements of Pavlowa.

AGED VETERAN DEAD

Warren Shumard Died Centerville Saturday.

at

Warren Shumard, 81, a veteran of the civil war, and an aged resident of Centerville, died at his home there Saturday night at 10 o'clock. The deceased leaves a wife, Sarah, and two sons, Fred of Indianapolis, and George of Kansas City. Prior to 1890, Mr. Shumard was engaged in the hardware business in this city. During the civil war he was a member of the 105th Ohio volunteers. The deceased was well known in this city, where he leaves a large circle of friends and acquaintances to mourn his death. The funeral will be held Tuesday morning at the home. The Rev. S. R. Lyons of this city, will have charge of the services. The G. A. R. post of Centerville will assist in the ceremonies, and representatives of the local G. A. R. will assist. Interment will be in Earlham cemetery. Friends may call at any time. Flowers are asked to be omitted.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. The other day the two rival candidates for the presidency of the National Federation of Women's Clubs stood on the platform in San Francisco with their arms around each other slating that whichever way the election went either was prepared to support the other in defeat or victory. "Pooh!" you say. Why "pooh" sure enough and yet again. "Nothing but a woman's convention!" "Old cats!" "Didn't mean anything anyway " Didn't it?

Well perhaps not. Yet it is a fact that the body whose fortunes they aspire to guide numbers as many adher

ents as a political party and counts its j

membership by the hundred thousand. Did you notice rival candidates at Chicago and Baltimore standing twiningly likewise and either sincerely or hypocritically declare? Not so you could notice it. Imagine Taft and Roosevelt standing with their arms round each other swearing loyalty to each and all. Fancy Bryan and Clark posing thus. But you can't. No matter whether it was real or assumed it was nonetheless a spectacle and one symbolic of woman's advance in acumen if not in breadth of cutlook. They say women aren't good losers. But they're the best losers in the v.-orld. Women are constant losers in the game of life. They always have the worst of it, even if that has been said here before and even if there are occasional exceptions. Physically and emotionally women are the overwhelming, but the best losers. YouU find more buried tragedy in the heart and life of one woman than in that of ten men. You can see women any day in the week who have stood calmly by while their heritage has been impudently slclen before their very eyes and who hpve neither "murmured nor complained." Women who have sacrificed their whole lives only to be rewarded with neglect or contempt and yet who smile r.nd are silent. Women insulted to their innermost sensitive consciousness year after jear, and who "grin and bear it." Women who see youth and beauty

flipping away through the inexorable progress of time with its consequent

melting away of loyalty and admiration. And who still stem the tide galhintly. Woman is the object of remorseless Nature or God, or whatever it is that keeps things going, and is mowed down as ruthlessly by the Juggernaut as wheat by a reaper. But she loses well. She backs right up against the wall rnd hits out as long as she can. And when she can stand no longer she collapses and sinks into oblivion. But women are good losers through training and experience. Not by nature. For the feminine dies hard. But in a long and rigorous battle with the forces that regulate the universe she l.ati learned wisdom. And she has become canny. Therefore the two stand with arms round each other and say whoever wins out is the best man and deserves the laurels. Men might as well take note of this. Because it is something with which they will haye to reckon generally where they are only at present reckoning sectionally. Women are constantly growing in shrewdness, adroitness, skill and acumen in the management and manipulation of big affairs. They are learning to cast aside the personal for the common good. The smaller for the bigger. The detail for the whole. Through their organizations, like the Federation of Clubs, they have become past grand masters at organization and systematic procedure. And trained in the management of finances. Their participation in bodies made

up of both sexes, national and international in scope, gives them equal opportunity with men for the study of method, the conception of results. Women, in short, are, through education and experience, equally at one in ability to express themselves with intelligence and force in the affairs of the state and nation and when the time arrives for the consummation, women will be ready and waiting to take imrrediate action. One of the noticeable phases of the convention at Chicago was the conduct of two women delegates from California. During the turmoil when their masculine confreres were parading and shouting and jumping up and down j'nd frothing at the mouth, the two feminine delegates calmly kept their reats and voted. This certainly does not look like hysteria presaged by the croakers whenever women get an inning.

The truth is that woman at the best J

c:-.ercises more control than man and

a-1 this pother about the danger of her crtrance into the larger citizenship is ao much wasted energy. For the "Campbells are coming" all right. And when they get here well "after you my dear Alphonse." perhaps will be more the order of the day.

A PRIVATE SLEUTH MAKES AN ARREST Jim Cod!, 60S Bridge avenue, and Tony Vettagotte, 215 North Second street, were arrested this afternoon at the city building. The men had an argument at Eighth and Main streets, where Tony, the younger, knocked down his aged partner, who was the drunker of the two. The pair then went to North Seventh and A streets where after - another dispute Tony pointed a revolver at his friend's head. Walter Karns, so called "private detective." took the two in custody, marching them to the city building where they were locked up. Jim k.idrunk and Tony for assault and battery.

BY CARL MOTE. BALTIMORE, July 1 The Indiana delegation on the twenty-eighth ballot cast twenty-nine votes for Governor Wilson and one for Senator Kern. G. V. Menzies cast the vote for Kern. The delegation voted for Wilson because it was believed Marshall had no longer any chance for the nomination. The break was occasioned by the general direction of Governor Marshall. However, he had given no specific instructions to that effect. Thomas Taggart asked the delegates to vote for Wilson. H. L. Ashley, of the Sixth district;

J. R. Riggs of the second: G. V. Men-!

zies. delegate-at-large, and Matt. Hart, of the Eighth, voted for Kern on the twenty-ninth ballot. Senator Shively is trying hard to keep the delegation together for Wilson, and Taggart has

called for assistance. Joe Bell author-:

ized a statement today that himself and Senator Shively had kept the Indiana delegation in line for Marshall against some of the governor's halfbaked friends. It is understood that Marshall is more acceptable to Bell

than Shively or Kern.

A number of local Democrats have telegraphed the Sixth district delegate, II. L. Ashley, demanding that he support Bryan's policy and Wilson's candidacy. They say they express ixs sentiment of the Democrats of this district. Among those who ha -j eent telegrams to Mr. Ashley is Henry U. Johnson, former Sixth district congressman. Mr. Johnson's personal telegram was as follows: "Mr. H. L. Ashley. ' Convention Hall, Baltimore: "Great interest here. Bryan's course is approved. Sentiment here is overwhelmingly for Wilson, irrespective of party. "HENRY U. JOHNSON."

An Editorial from the Detroit Times June 12, 1912

If The Price of Coffee Would Double Again All The Better!

.-' ie price of coffee has doubled In three or four years. And this, despite production has doubled in that time. The reason for the present high price of coffee was sought and it has been found that the market supply has been artificially restricted. The Brazilian government is in the operation and participates la the profits to the extent of an export duty of three cents a pound. And American bankers are financing the scheme. Diabolical plot? Outrageous conspiracy? Perhaps! But xe did not take our pen In hand to condemn anybody concerned except COFFEE DRINKERS to condemn them and. also, to congratulate them, both upon the present increased price and the probability that it will go higher. It isn't exactly inspiring to see American capital finding Its way to a foreign country to be used there to the end of exploiting American family pocketbooks. However, this is not the saddest fact involved, to our way of thinking. It is most regrettable that the consumption of coffee In this country has increased to a point to warrant manipulation of the supply. We don t like to look upon coffee as becoming a NECESSITY to the American people, and view wlth alarm the activities of capital suggesting that it IS becoming a necessity. Coffee isn't good for you. Too much of it is positively harmful. If the present price, doubled in four years, would double again, it would be the best thing that ever happened to the excessive coffee drinker. He wouldn't drink as much of it. Better yet, maybe he wouldn't drink it at all. Just possibly you have us put down as being a bit nervy in this coming in and sitting down beside you before the coffee pot and telling you to keep hands off. Nevertheless, we "mean well. We are talking for your good. You like coffee, probably, and perhaps you think It Is sone of our business if you drink it or if you drink all you want of It. Babies want those pink pills that look like candy and cry If we don't let them have them. The same pink pills, left around by careless mothers, have killed many babies. And many grown people know as little as babies about the care of their bodies. There are intemperate coffee drinkers the same as there are intemperate drinkers of alcoholic beverages. One cup of coffee isn't going to prove fatal, nor two cups of coffee. Two cups may upset your entire system, make you uneasy, restless and peevish and unfit you for best results for a day. but It will wear off after awhile the same as a whisky drunk wears off. But bring to us a person who drinks two and three cups of coffee regularly for breakfast, or a person who drinks coffee three times a day, and we will show you a person with a bad-acting heart, a sluggish liver, a disordered stomach and a shattered nervous system. If you don't believe us, ask your doctor. He will tell you that coffee contains caffeine, which he gives ia the smallest kind of doses for a heart stimulant. He will tell you further that too much caffeine or too much coffee will give you a palpitating heart Then if you are satisfied to run the risk of having that kind of a heart, keep right on drinking all the coffee you want, and excuse us for interfering. (Detroit Times, June 12, 1912)
