What Theodore Roosevelt SAYS.

An article on THE Presidency" by Theo
Roosevelt, to be published in the November
9th issue of "The Youths Companion" will
be of great public interest. When the article
was written Mr.. Roosevelt had not even been
nominated for the Vice-P Presidency.
Nothing was then further from his thought
than that he would so soon exercise the great
powers which are entrusted to the President
Of the United States.
In view Of the circumstances the article
possesses an Importance more than ordinary,
and it will be eagerly looked for. The num-
Der of "The Youths Companion" containing
it, and all the subsequent issues of 1902, Will
be sent free to new subscribers from the time
their subscription ofSl.75 is received for the
1903 volume. The new subscriber will also
receive 'The Companion" Calendar for 1908,
autographed in y cOlors and gold. Fun ilIus-
trated announcement of the new volume and
sample copies of "The COMPANION" will he
sent to any address free.

THE election is ONLY ten days
distant, and the people of Delaware
have never witness a campaign so
completely devoid of excitement.
A calm determination pervades the
voting power to discharge their
whole duty, and let the response
bility for victory rest upon those
responsible for the result. Four
teen years ago the Salisbury fac
ton of the democratic party &C.
cupied exactly the same position
toward that party that the so call
ed regulars" have placed them
solved in and are earring out
towards the majority of the Re
publican Party of Delaware. Each
were willing to wreck their respec-
tive organization; but it remains to
be seen how well the party wreckers
may succeed, or how ignonimious
their failure will be ten days hence.

THE registration as completed
last Saturday was but little short
of that two years age, and both par
ties are claiming to have the best
of it; but from the returns made by
those who have closely studied the
records kept by practical meg in
each registration district, the Re
publican party will have a com
Portable majority for its State ticket;
and, unless treachery = against
which it is most difficult to guard
occurs, the Union Republicans will
have clean majority in the Leg
islature. But this will not come
about until one of the hardest
fought political battles in Delaware
shall have become a record of his
tory. Each man must bend to the
work with unremittent energy I'm.
til after the polls close on Novem
Der fourth, and then watch to see
that no frauds are perpetrated tc
rob the Union Republicans of vic,
tory. The Democrats are alert and
will be backed by the largest cam.
paign fund in their history-and il
addition the faction of the Repub.
lican party in Delaware styling
themselves Regulars, " are per
hitting no opportunity to escape
that can in any way prevent the
election of the Union Republican
ticket; these are the obstacles Il
be overcome, and which all Unior
Republicans must aid in the over
throw. Victory is sure-but i
means hard work just the same.

If Willard Saulsbury's barrel
runs freely, and Richard R. Ken
ney makes good, the Democratic
campaign fund will reach almost a
quarter of a million dollars in Della
ware. Surely this immense fund
is not to be used to purchase votes
after all of the prating about cor
ruption in politics, by Mr.. Sauls-
bury, and the horror protested to
be entertained by the Regular"
against vote buying That would
be an awful fall from their previ-
Ously assumed attitude and demand
for reform. After November 4th
the Union Republicans will have
the proud satisfaction of having tri.
umphed over all combinations
backed by the greatest corruption
fund Delaware has ever known.

suits on both-Democrats and Reg

Willard Salisbury would put a
campaign fuAd of more than one
hundred thousand dollars at their
disposal for use on election day.

put steam into the efforts to bring
out every man, and no effort was
left untried when the hour for reg
istration closed last Saturday night.

Captain J. HI. Pearce, of Duluth,
was a Hurley visitor last week,
while on his way to look over some
explorations near Marinesco in
which he is interested, along with
Captain w. H. Whiteside, and
couple of Minnesota capitalists.
For many years Captain Pearce was
resident of this range, having his
home at Bessemer, while he had
charge of mining properties here
and elsewhere. A few years ago he
moved to Minnesota and soon fter
became interested in explorations
"on his own hook" He struck
paying streak of luck, and has
cleaned up a very handsome for
tune in addition to retaining heavy
interests in several promising pro-
positions. Good for Captain Pearce.

such men meet with success.-The

Some people know how to be real
mean. A story is going the rounds
about a man whose wife had gone
visiting and would not listen to his
appeals to come home before her
visit was out. He took COPY of
his home paper and carefully clip
ped out just one item, then sent the
paper to her. She wrote and asked
him what the item was about and
he refused to tell her. The scheme
worked admirably, and in less than
week she was home to find out
what her husband did not want her
to know about.
