Telephone and Rural Free Delivery.

In the postoffice appropriation bill
there is an item providing $4,000 to
be used in demonstrating whether the
telephone can be made a useful adj
junct to the rural free delivery. The
idea is to facilitate the delivery of let
tiers carrying special delivery stamps
by having the postmaster, when he
receives such letters, call up the
farmer to whom they are addressed
and tell him about it. Then, if the
farmer gives his consent the postmas-
ter can, without conflicting with postal
regulations, open the letter and read
its contents to the person at the other
end of the wire.

Stand By Your
Brave Leader !

When the business of the country
was coming to stand still. year
ago, and the stopping of factories,
shops, railroads and all business was
threatened because of the lack of
coal, Roosevelt was the one man who
had the nerve and the wisdom to step
in and tell the coal barons that the
strike must be brought to close by
them, or he would end it. The coal
barons who were brought to recog-
nize the rights and power of the peo-
pie, had no further use for Roose
velt, and they are among the leaders
who are now talking of Roosevelt's
unpopularity, and trying to defeat
him. But the coal barons are not
the only ones who remember the
action of the President in that crisis.
The people remember it, and they
admire the President for his wisdom
and courage, and they will stand by
him.

Wise as Usual.

The President has been criticized
because he promoted Gen. Leonard
Wood over hundreds of faithful of
icers, who have served much longer
in the army. The President says abil-
ity, capacity and effectiveness should
come in the army and not length of
service. And he is right. Whenever
a war occurs, the leading officers,
who have got to be leaders because
of long service, often prove lamenta-

The war then was for a slave oil
garch, to destroy popular govern
ment. The war to-day is by a money
oligarchy to obtain power TO destroy
popular government and make every
man pay tribute to the till of the
Trusts. Give them their way, and in
five years. no man could control his
own capital or his own labor. In
many things, to-day we buy what we
must have, at. their prices. And,they
pay us what they please for what we
have to sell.
No other man stands forth to-day
as the leader and defender of the peo-
pie, as Roosevelt does, and no man
has the wisdom and courage and
clear-sightedness that he has. Strike
him down because he has fought the

HANNA SAYS NO!

Cincinnati. Dec. l2.-The most i'm
port3nt political announcement of
the day was that of George b. Cox,
the local political leader, to a mum
her of his close political advisers,
upon his return from Washington
and New York this morning.
Mr.. Cox informed these friends
that he had been told by Senator
Hanna during their long conference
in Senator Hanna's apartments yes
terday that the Senator is not can
didate for the Presidency in any
sense of the word, and that, further
more, he has concluded not to accept
the craftsmanship of the Republican
National Committee.
While the statement of Mr.. Cox
was a surprise TO many Republicans,
still il is not regarded as such by
Senator Hanna's close friends in this
city. 1t is no secret that Senator
Hanna confided to several of his
| friends that the condition of his
health is such that he does not wish
to subject himself to the strain OF
the duties imposed upon the chair
man of the Republican National Com
mittee.

1t was Roosevelt who pushed the
matter of constructing the Panama
canal, and it was the great Railroad
magnates of the country who opposed
it, because it would be a competitor
of their railroads for the traffic and
commerce of the Pacific and Asia.
1t was these railroad barons who
bought up the Government of Co
lombia and had that Government re-
pudiate its treaty with our country,
in order to defeat the canal; and it
was Roosevelt who beat their game,
by enforcing our treaty obligations
to Granada on the Isthmus, and thus
protected and promoted the best in
