As Roosevelt finished. it was Miss
Mary Stotler, daughter of the veteran
editor Jacob Stotler, who did the neat
thing of the day. Stepping forward. she

TALKS TO FLORENCE CROWDS.
Florence, Kan, July 3-Almost the
entire population of this little city
turned out late yesterday afternoon to
greet Theodore Roosevelt, and hundreds
had the pleasure of grasping his hand

the presence in his former regiment of
several Indians, graduates of the Has

regiment In any country that we ac-

President Mckinley is sending to our
new territories is a guarantee that the
work will be done well-men like Judge
Taft and General Wood and Governor
Allen of Porto Rico. We have got the
wolf by the ears and we can't get away

decide whether we are going to finch
or whether we are going to go on and
finish this great work.

Roosevelt addressed an enthusiastic au-
dience of 1000 in the Auditorium yes
the governor had left the train since
leaving Chicago, all mis- previous
speeches having been made from the

touching upon the questions of imperi-
alism and silver.

were told four years ago that you
would not get prosperity without 16 to

look pretty middling prosperous. Now,
when man says you can't have pros

afterwards proves to be (to put it mild

would disrupt our economic and finan-
cial system, would nullify the hardest
work that Kansas could ever do. No
legislation will ever make the thriftless

throw away what we have got"

hands. The governor was presented to |
the crowd by Mayor Ross, of Wichita |

as it looks at the contest Where the

shall stay-(Applause)-s shall stay until
a system of law and order is estab-
lished.
