 There are thousands of rusty dollars stacked up in Monticello that should be put out now in i'm provements and in the erection of factories. Such move would be a great relief to hundreds of our people who have made short crop and need something to do, and, then those who have money can get work done cheaper now than they can in more prosperous times. We believe something along this line should be done right away.

 Illinois. as one of the Middle West States, will make good fighting ground for Roosevelt. The Republicans of that State are already resentful of Presi- dent McKinley's interference in their Senatorial conflict. Gov ernor Yates has come out open i 1y against the administration candidate for Senator, former Comptroller Dawes. and the Yates machine Is now in opposi- ton to the Mckinley machine in Illinois. Yates has also placed himself on record as being un- equivocally for Roosevelt for President in 1904. This will be good and strong fight for Yates to make-as full of prom ise for his dominance in Illinois politics as 1t Is for Roosevelt s candidacy for the Presidential nomination. The Roosevelt Yates alliance is likely to be for midable.
 The peril to Roosevelt lies in
 the premature unmasking of his
 plans His candidacy now openly aligns him against the
 Hanna machine, the most pow erful yet known in American pol itics. Hanna Is supreme master of the Republican national or ganization. He commands the influence and the money Of the
 trusts in this management Of Re
 publican national affairs. He
 will not forget that Roosevelt at heart condemns the Hanna degradation of politics to the huckster level. He will not for get that Roosevelt for a time de
 nied the Hanna supremacy with in the party. He will not for. get that Roosevelt dubbed Pres. ident Mckinley "the man with
 the chocolate eclair backbone.
 He will not forget that Roose-
 velt's sturdy Americanism
 makes him unsafe as a possible
 tool ofthe syndicate imperialists
 He will now begin the task ot crushing Roosevelt as a menac.

 has marked out for the Republi
 can party to follow. And he
 will have three years in which te
 complete this task k.-Republic.

 We notice in the A. R. Presby- terian that they "venture the sug- gestion that your Wilmar core spendent is an A. R. P, because he uses Sabbath in writing to your paper. The Presbyterian seems to overlook the fact that there arc two scribblers at Wilmar and bott invariably use Sabbath instead o Sunday. As to myself I can onl, say not from any denominations mark l use Sabbath when tn, printers devil" don't make m say Sunday; but from a christian duty. The Lord who created al the days, named none of them ex cept the Lords day, which he call ed Sabbath, and 1 have never bee able to find the word Sunday i the word of God.

ROOSEvELT'S CANDIDACY.

Whatever may be thought of the wisdom of Vice President Roosevelt's announcement at this early moment of his candi- dacy for the Presidential nomi- nation in 1904 1t must be ac- knowledged that he is beginning his campaign in somewhat forceful manner.
 Roosevelt's greatest strength is in the west. He makes no very potent appeal to the voters of the Eastern States. and even in New York, his own state, he is opposed by his party's ma chine. If he depended on New York to suggest and compel his nomination for the Presidency in the next Republican National Convention he would be betray d to defeat.
