of water.

sQuarely in favor of prohibition and in
favor of it's enforcement by officers OF

make not the slightest difference

ment of the prohibitory law in every
part of the county is Republican doc
trine IN Somerset. We stand squarely
by this declaration and are ready t.

The experiment of the New Hamp-
shire Democrats will be watched with
much interest. They are trying to
bring back to their party some of the
responsibility which it discarded when
it submitted to being swallowed by
Organism. They have thrown over
the Chicago and Kansas City plat
forms and stand squarely for sound
money and the maintenance of public
credit and private values. However,
they cling to free trade and emit a
yawp against imperialism so they
are sufficiently handicapped in their
coming state campaign.

Not only has every Republican State
convention held, this summer, endorsed
the national administration in I'M
qualified and particularly emphatic
terms, but in no fewer than ten states
have the conventions declared in favor
of the nomination of Theodore Roose-
welt in 1904. These states are Cali
fornia, Missouri, Iowa, Pennsylvania,
Idaho, Minnesota. Delaware, Washing
ton, Utah and Texas. The majority of
these. moreover. are Republican states
and several are among the most i'm
portant states of the Union. There is
no doubt that the list will be added to
by other state conventions yet to be
held. Such action, two years in ad-
vance of a presidential election, is an
unprecedented thing in our politics and
there is no mstaking it's significance.

1t is very gratifying to know that
now, one year after the death of Presi-
dent Mckinley, the task of raising
s650,00O by popular subscription for d
mausoleum at Canton, is pretty well
completed. At the beginning of the
present month, $350.000 was in the
hands of the general treasurer and
100000 in the hands of the treasurers
of State associations, leaving 100000
to be raised and a special effort has
been made to secure this during the
past two weeks in those states which
had not raised their allotted quota.
Maine was one Of the first states to
raise it's share, and the amount asked
for was handsomely oversubscribed.
OF the $650,000 it is proposed to devote
100000 to the mausoleum, $4,000 to
work outside of the construction and
100000 for maintenance, so that We
shall not see an admission fee being
charged to visitors, as done at the Gar
field Monument in Cleveland. The
mausoleum is to be built at Canton,
because that is where Mr.. Mckinley re-
peatedly said he wished to rest. The
unprecedented quickness with which
this great sum has been raised, assur-
ing a national monument worthy Of the
great man who will sleep beneath it,
is the most eloquent proof of the love
in which he was held by the American
people. > .:riGs

The brilliant young junior senator
from Indiana has been accused of be-
ing jealous of President Roosevelt and
secretly hostile to him. Last week
Senator Beveridge addressed the Re-
publican state convention in Utah and
he paid this wonderfully eloquent
tribute to the President: do you name
courage? Theodore Roosevelt repre-
sents it. Do you name honesty
Theodore Roosevelt is its personifica-
ton. Do you name patiotism? Theo-
of battle. Do YOU name consideration
for every interest of the Republic?
Theodore Roosevelt judges every in
terest in its relation to every other.
No section owns him;9 he belongs to
the Nation: No Influence controls him;
he listens to the voice of the whole
people. The humblest citizen may
meet him face to face and have as full
hearing as the richest man in the
land: and he will give wealth and
property their just and legal rights in
spite of demagogue or mob Simple
Justice to all-this is the spirit that
rules in mind and heart of the Chief
Magistrate Of the American people
HOW may that which is best for all be
practically accomplished-this is the
question he puts to every prohla,,, tl,,
confronts him."

The conditions that accompany the
contract labor system in some OF
the southern states are fully as bad
as anything known in slavery. In
fact, it does not see that any phase OF
slavery could have been as bad. The
cruelties and abuses of convicts, b0th
black and white are almost beyond
description. Texas has just had
committee appointed to investigate the
condition of convict labor in the state,
and it's recent report has brought to
light a deplorable state of affairs.
"As a rule" it says, 1.-The life of con-
Wet is not as valuable in the eyes of
the sergeant and guards and contrac-
tors with few exceptions as that of a
dog. In evidence thereof, We find that
the average life of a convict is seven
years. Convicts are shot down upon
the least provocation, and when there
is absolutely no excuse for it." The
report adds that convicts are worked
when they are sick and disabled, and
some of they have been compelled to
work until they fell dead in their
tracks. The system is a burning dis
grace to many states in the South.
