from embarrassment, explained that th
nomination for president coming from a
gres,- party-la not something to b put
aside.' 'His declaration that he should not
declln a nomination by hi party will
doubtless ba construed by hi friend
as a notification that they may begin
the work of machine construction, how
ever. .;.-.....'
A th secretary baa not furnished a

I Intereat tn Ohio politics not friendly to

. With the recent division ot Intereat
tn thj 1901 outlook for the Republican
party and eepeolally in view of marked
manifestation of open hostility to tb
administration on tha part -ofmany
Republican leader. . It ha been made
plain that President Roosevelt la not
to be permitted to perpetuate hi poli
cies which he unquestionably wishes
to-do or dictate-. hi, auccesaor which
many polltlclana believe he hope to do
without a struggl with th leader
in hi own party.
TVie fact that Ohio ha two presiden
tial possibilities Taft and Foraker
and that their Ideas, Ilka their interest,
are almost diametrically opposed, la
perhspa reeponalble for tha decision in
many quarters that Foraker also may
be trying to fore Taft into tha open.
Senator Foraker has th Buckeye ma
chine. . He will command th delegation
in th next convention, it I almost gen
erally conceded. Tber haa been a feel
ing that th right man might b named
without his own stat.
But th Taft people ar unorganised.
Th secretary doe not Ilk fight. But
th ecretary'a statement do not make
it reasonably plain that h will never
b more than a receptlv candidal. And
It can b reasonably set down that the
man who get th next Republican nomi
nation will be th man who make tb
most effective fight for it.
Leaders are again figuring on the
strength of Foraker. Fairbanks, Shaw,
Lafollette and others in the convention
and they ahaka their heada and express
th fear that a deadlock may- bring th
prise, to Roosevelt
Secretary of War Taft doe not deny
the widely published statement that he
Is at leaat a receptive candidate ror in

1908. He denies, however, that he la
making a center rush for th honor, and
refers to hl4self aa an . unavailable
nominee, . . . .
"That does not matter." wa th

on Christmas night and I fell In love
with you. You muat coma with rue and

"If you do not do a I say I will kill
you," declared the visitor, showing th
handle of a revolver. r -
' Then Adaberto. though accustomed to

frightened. "Not now," said sh. "I

" Probably her life waa aayd by this

Very politely th man. who seemed
