TIE Saturday Evening Post very ant

The Saturday Evening Post very apt
ly summarizes the speaking of President
Roosefelt on his recent western trip as
follows: From one end of the country
to the other President Roosevelt went
preaching the doctrine of individual self
respect and self restraint and self help.
He used no claptrap. He did not talk
about our glorious country, nor ask peo-
pie to rally arounk the flag or vote the
straight ticket, nor did he hint at the
benefits of protection nor did he insist
on the wisdom of maintaining the parity
between gold and silver. The patter of
the political orator was absent, and the
strong note of appeal to all citizens to be
uuselfish and fair and charitable was
found in every utterance. The president
might we'll be called revivalist turning
men from the avarice and wanton selfish
ness and meanness of this day and gen
Grafton to those things which put men
and nations in harmony with reason and
the will of God"

Special Train of Hardwood.

A special train of 80 cars loaded en-
tirely with hard wood lumber by the
American Hardwood Lumber Co. of
Madison, subsidiary company of the
Birmingham & Hixon Co., passed
through Edgerton Tuesday afternoon,
hating long enough for Bardeen to pho
tograph the train, crew and officers of
the company who accompanied it. The
train was made up at LaFarge on the
Kickapoo line of the Milwaukee road
The most remarkable thing about the
shipment is that the cars were loaded
almost exclusively with 1st and End
grades of Wisconsin red oak, which is
considered the finest furniture timber to
be found in the country and this even is
becoming scarce and valuable. This
consignment goes to Chicago furniture
manufacturers. The American Hard
wood Lumber Co. has been organized
but few years but is certainly making
it's mark in the business world when it
is able to ship it's sales by train loads
and it's enterprise and push will COM
mand attention of the public having Sc
cured the trade of many of the largest
consumers of hardwood. Mr.. Edward
Young is manager of the company and
accompanied the shipment to it's desti-
nation.
