NEWSPAPER OPINION
The Summer Girl
ON Uhe Albany Argus.

From The Albany Argus.
Here's to the Summer Girl, that
symphony In skirts,
whose light-heartedness and desire to
please hcrself-and Others-lhas drawn
upon lher the sarcastic comment OF tine
and made her the object
of the Wits Without her the vacation
resorts would be sad dismal retreats
and one would find more interesting
diversions at n campmeeting ground.
Her smile, made to bewitch, and her
hand, made to hold, are freely given to
the swains who have left comfortable
city homes to put up with the incon-
veniences of a six by eight room in a
mosquito-infested district, and all for
love OF the Summer Girl.
What matters It If. two weeks after
the season has closed, you meet uhe
Summer Girl in the metropolis and she
stares coldly at you, forgetting THAT a
short while before she made you be-
lieve that you were her onliest onel
What harm is done NJ, on comparing
notes with your best friend, you find
that YOU have both made ardent love
to the fascinating creature, whose sun
kissed locks and fresh complexion mao
made you both swear undying love
and VOW you could not live without
her? You. ais we'll as the Summer Girl
were away from town, and you, Ike
she. longed for diversion. Ihds you
both had. and with the packing OF the
trunks and the ringing of the locomo
tive bell as the train carried you city
ward. it came to an end.

NEW TASKS FOR THE BLUE
INFORMED MESSENGER BOYS

They're rigging up new stunts for

Anderson, manager of the Postal Tele-
graph Company. This year the boys
are being employed to attend offices
while their tenants are away for day
on business. or on their vacations The
boys like this work because uhey are

One OF my boys carries the mail

theirs are called to 40 marketing. drive
physicians teams and to buy theatre

"One Of the queerest jobs that one Of

The Issue Of 1902
New York sun.

From the New York sun.
Judging from numerous popular
comments upon some of President
aoosevelrs recent addresses, 1t would
appear that Cuban reciprocity and the
of trusts will be the lead
ing issues OF the approaching national
campaign.
The ideas arising from these ques-
tions will be felt in the campaign OF
course. but scarcely as party Issues,
for the reason that Democrats Will Ia
vor them as much as Republicans
Practically, also. the law that exists
has just been proven adequate to check
one great trust whose operations raised
a storm of Indignation, the Beef Trust;
and so far as tho Northern Securities
Company stands for the trust in rail-
roads. the same law has brought that
into court to answer the illegalities
with its life.
Neither Cuban reciprocity nor trust
ism win decide the struggle to cleo
majority in the House of Represent
atives. That. in so far as it is thought
to bear upon the campaign to elect
President. to come two years later, vii
hinge upon the preservation of tn
country's prosperity, growth, and in
dustrial repose and health, all Of whicl
have made a wonder of the period o
Republican, control of the White Hous
and me Capitol.
The contest will be to sustain or 4
defeat the Republican party and 1t
policy in the country Theodore Roose

WHAT Will ADDICKs Doq

Tho most important subject under
discussion among Republicans at the
present time, is whether there is to be
some concerted action to elect the can
didates OF the party and nullify Demo-
cratic schemes for success. There are
differences between the two wings Of
the party that apparently are irrecon-
cilable. and yet these are not sufficient
TO throw overheard all prospects OF
electlng men TO those offices which
have nothing to do with the election
of United States senators. There is no
reason that can be advanced for de-
feating a State ticket composed OF
candidates that received our united
support two years ago. To turn this
down or to nominate ticket in oppo-
sition without a hope of success, would
be madness, showing that men would
reject a part because they could not
have the whole.
. -Four years ago a ticket was agreed
upon containing the names of those
who were to hold Office for four years,
and OF others to serve for only two
years. AS it transpired the Union Re-
publicans got the lions share, but
there was a perfect understanding that
the arrangement contemplated a period
of four years. All Republicans, then
are bound i'm honor and by party
usage TO renominate those two-year
officers and TO support them loyalty.

They viii be given the chance, and
will do it without question unless the
