Sentiment'of Speakers' Who
" Nominated Roosevelt.
Ex>Gov. 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

custom of inaugurating that glad and

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.

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.
