The era of common sen.

The era OF common sense is
dawning and Teddy Roosevelt is
the champion. He says that men
of colossal intellects are not need
ed in our governmental affairs near
as much as we need men Of COM
mon horse sense, courage and hon
esty. Common horse sense is
teaching some people great
many things these days. Tenn
derance and good conduct be-
get confidence and respect
and ii pays to be worthy Of con-
fidence and respect. Individual
common sense is doing more to
curb the booze habit in many men
than all the Kelley cures that were
ever invented or all the prohibitory
laws that were ever enacted.
There's nothing in 1t, and common
horse sense teaches man that it
i m inexcusable folly. The un-
controllable appetite argument is
an buncombe, and the man who
offers il a. an excuse for his delin-
auencies is q plain. ordinary fool

Governor Thomas declares that
If our present revenue laws were
lived up to the finances of the
state would not be in such mud
died condition. The governor
might ask himself the question,
"What am l here for If not to see
that the laws OF the state are en-
forcedP" He wants to call an ex-
ira session of the legislature to en-
act additional laws to relieve the
state Of its revenue deficit, but il
the present laws are not enforced,

soldier will also make a good citi-
zen. You need the same qualities
in public life as you need in soldier
life. You want man who will be
square, who will be fearless and
who will be honest. haven't got
any use for the timid good man.
A good man who is timid is not
worth knocking in the head, and l
don't care for him. And you take
a man who is most efficient and
valuable; if he uses his strength,
il he uses his cunning merely to
enable him to prey upon his fellows
whether in business or in politics,
he is curse to the politicians and
Americans if they tolerate such
men in political life. e.-Roosevelt.
