Black, New Work.—A statesman grappling with the lit. ing problems of the hour, he gropes but little in the past. He believes in going ahead. He is the highest living fype of the youth, the vigor and the promise of a great country and a great age. The Democratic party has seldom tried a problem on-its ac count, and when it has, blunders have been its only monuments. Senator Beveridge, Indiana- He is a leader who leads be cause. he carries out the settled purposes of the people. Every great measure of his Administra tion was so wise that, enthusia tically sustained by bis own party, it won votes even with the opposition. Geo A. Knight, California—We want this younger Lincoln—tin keeper of our great eagle—wi want him with Ins hands on th< halyards of our Hag; we want him the defender of our Constitution and the executive of our law Tbe Republican party was the first organization that beckonen the laboring man to his feet and made him know the quality and equality of his true self. Harry Still well Uwirit, Cal. —He has gone further than an) man who has occupied the White House since the Civil War to further the vital interests of thr South. The character of his ap poinvments in Georgia gives •he lie to those designing knaves whi charge him with stirring up strifi between races and arraying sec tion against section. Ex>Gov. Bradley, Kentucky— Roosevelt lias not been the pliable instrument of any man or set of men. He hews to the line, let the chips fall where they may. During all these eventful years the Republican party has stood for advancement; the Democrats have been stupid objectors. 1. B. Cotton, Minnesota—By force of liis character and his works he has extended, at home and abroad, the influence and greatness of the Republic. Our Democratic friends in this year of grsce are destined to be mere idle dreamers and ooly seers ol visions. Dissentious, they lack faith and have uo issue. Harry 8. Cebblbii, Maryland. —He is a just man, and believes that a man should be judged by merit and merit alone, and that the just reward* of faithful and patriotic lervioe should be with held from no one, for any cauae whatever. With thia election what an inspiring prospect* open np before the party and the Na tion! With it will come new ef fort! to promote a greater proa perity, and a larger menure of happiness to all who dwell with in our bordera. What it Stands For The red stripe is dyod in the blood of it! heroio defender!. The white itripe is the purity of the patriotio men and women who have lived for it, and the white itara flash forth the light of liberty. The blue ii the free, unfenced sky. Honor the red, white, and bluel Honor it howT Honor the tricolor of o.ur country by regulating your own life so that the flag will tell no lies when it (lies over you. Does it wave over boya and girls of clean speech, pure life, honor able and truthful dealing, or does it lay one thing and your conduct lay anotherT The .nation ia made up of all the people in it. It ia no better than the sum of them all. Every bsd one in the lot helps to lower the average. A patriotio boy or girl can honor the flag aa much by doing achool dutiei faithfully as by carrying a Krag or wearing the red-croaa badge. War always improves the flag busi ness. But the best time to live for what the flag stands for is in the time of peace. Once in a generation or two we have to get out our "shooting irons" and fight the enemies of our country. What about those worse enemies—the man-slaying biothels the "graft" seeking public officials, the lawless classes, rich and poor, who make prey of their innocent fellow eitixens—these foes the republic has to fight. And the worst of it is that in open war the other side trains under its own flag, but iu these confliots with the foes of our own household the enemy wears our own uniform and flies our own colors. He must be beaten, though, if the country ia to be worthy of Washington and the men of '76. Under an investigation conducted at the instance of Commissioner Woodoury, it has been discovered that one-third of the force of 6,000 street eleaners, called "white wings" because of the canvas uniforms they wear, is infected with tuberculosis. This dis ease has been contracted by breathing the germ-laden dust brushed up from the streets. Every man was examined by Civit Service physicians and pro uounced free from organic disease be fore he was placed on the roll. The malady has been contracted during an average service of leas than five years. Tue problem which the de partment is trying now to solve is how to save the men from the bacilli. When it becomes known that death in five or six years is the common fate of those who clean the streets, it may be difficult to fill the ranks. The Annual Premium List of tie Spokane Interstate Fair is out. It comes in a new shape this year, being <boilt the sise of a railroad folder and opening on the longer edge. It is a very convenient sise, and is well worth reading. Among the changes observed, one of the most important is the largely increased prises in the Fruit Depart ■cent. Besides this there is a complete new department exclusively for the children, and new prixes in the Fine Arts Department. Every division *hows changes, more or less import ant. Copies of this book inay be ob tained by addressing R.bt. H. Co*- trove, Manager, R>oin 320 Mohawk Block, Spokane. Iu keeping with tbe time honored custom of inaugurating that glad and gala day of joyous rest and recrea tion, pleasure and profit, iuterest and instruction, education and entertain ment, diversion and delight, happ • ness and hiliarity, merriment and music, wonderment and wisdom brought to every community by cele brations of the Fourth of July we will all attend the Lind festival and re joice with the inhabitants of our sis ter town. Speaking of the Pacifio Northwest, the following words were uttered ly the President of the United States when in this state last May. "1 predict that within the lifetime of some of us Washington will be the third state in imports nee in the union. It will be New Yoik, Pennsyl vania, Washington." Roosevelt must wait until July 27th, when he will be quietly sur prised by being informed that be has received the Republican nomination for the presidency of the United States. CANDIDATES' CARD. 1 hereby announce my candidacy for the nomiuation of sheriff on the Republican ticket subject to the will of the Republican county convention. SPENCER 8. IRBY. Und, Wash., April., 19, 1904. To the people of Adams county: I here announce myself as a candidate for the office of county auditor and desire the nomina tion upon the Republican ticket when the convention assembles in Ritsville on Sept 10. 1904. % Chas. E. Amsbaugh. Rillingion. wash, April 19. 1904. At the urgent request of many neighbors and friends I desire to present my name to the Re- Rubllcan county convention for the nomlna* on of auditor of Adams county, subject to the pleasure of that convention which meets in the city of Ritsville on the 10th day of September, 1904. W. F. Riemenschneider. Ritsville. Wash.. June 25.1904. 1 hav»; concluded to become a candidate for the nomination of county commissioner Dis. I. subject to the will of the republican convention to be held September 10th. FredKxmbxl. Und, Wash.. June 27,1904, To the people of Adams county: After due consideration, and at the request of my neighbors and friends. 1 have decided to announce my candidacy for the office of county auditor subject to will of therepublican conven tion assembling In Ritsville Sept. 10, 1904. If nominated ana elected I will devote my entire time and best energies to a proper conduct and administration of that important office. C. E. Jay, j A friend writes: After seven years' experience as a knocker during which I have become very proficient, I have decided to adopt a new profession I regret that I will be unable to use these seven years of experience it my future work. But I hxvecnme to the conclusion that the profession of law and the profession of knockers are greatly overcrowded. The Bible says to knock and it shall be opened unto you. I have followed that injunction faith fully, but do not te-'m to get any* where. Ido not intend to enter the profession of jolly entirely, but will take a part of the course and make use of a small part of it in my daily work."—Minneapolis Bulletin and Trade. The moat prosperous town is the one where there it the greatest evi dence of local trade nays the Odessa Record. It dosen't require mansions and great lawns and other trappings to make a prnspeious town or city, but order, cleanliness and the evi dence of civic pride are an absolute essential. The neat clean, well kept home with the evidences of persmrii interest, elean streets and luck nlley free from rubbish, the things tlni. may be possessed by all sive tiie really unfortunate, are the thing' whioh make a town inviting, ami upon which prosperity measuies rest. The world owes a profound debt of gratitude to the chumps. If people didn't make chumps of themselves there would be no wise men to lay down rules of conduct for human guidance, no great jurist to settle the disputes that arise in this life and no great philanthropists to minister to the troubled ones in this world. The ohutnps create the necessity that pro dues the world's great men, and want the credit. Some men hare never had enough money at one time to know what a pleasant experience it is. To make, ■ave and have money is one of the problems of life and success cannot be attained without it. At least, a great er success in aay field of wotk may be attained with it than without it. A man never gets too old to learu how to save his money. The older he grows, the harder it is but it's always belter late than never. SHERIFF'S SALE.
