HOW HE SIGNED CONTRACT.
story OF Philadelphia Publishers
Visit to Col. Roosevebt's Camp
at Mon tauk.

The inspiration which caused a. R.
Keller, of Philadelphia publishing
firm to induce Mr.. Roosevelt to sign
the contract for the reproduction Of
his writings in two luxurious editions
was akin to prescience. Toward the
close of the Spanish-American war
Mr.. Keller became convinced that the
hero of San Juan hill would be the
central figure in American politics.
He started for Cuba, but missed Col.
Roosevelt, who was then on his way
to Montauk Point. He went to Mon
tauk and was rebuffsd, but continued
to argue his case. Finally Mr.. Roose-
welt said: "Hold on, must think"
He jumped upon his horse and rode
away at top speed. For more than
half an hour he galloped around, and
then came back to the tent. Before
Mr.. Keller could say word the colonel
was off again, and for half an hour
longer galloped over the hills. return
ing with his animal snorting and paw
ing. He threw himself from the sad
die with the words: "All right, I'll
do it."
There was no paper or pen in the
tent. Col. Roosevelt produced linen
cuff and the publisher fountain pen.
Then it occurred to them that there
might be blank sheet in some of the
letters lying unopened on his camp
bed. A small piece was found and
upon this a contract was drawn up.
Mr.. Roosevelt will secure very large
portion out of the $s42 $50 which will
be paid for the works by the sub

The agonizing itching and burning of

pimples and ringworm; the awful suf-

edy Of almost superhuman virtues to
successfully cope with them. That
Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills are
such stands proven beyond all doubt.
No statement is made regarding them

economy, have made them the standard
skin cures and humOur remedies of the
civilized world.
Battle the affected parts with hot
water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the
surface Of crusts and scales and soften
the thickened cuticle. Dry, without
hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura Oint-
ment freely, to allay itching, irritation
and inflammation, and sOothe and heal,
and, lastly, In the severer forms, take
Cuticura Resolvent Pills, to cool and
cleanse the blood. A single set Is often
sufficient to cure the most torturing,
dlsfguring and humiliating skin, scalp
and blood humours, with loss Of hair,
when all else fails.

A Farmers Board of Trade.

Jefferson City, Feb. "A petition

Legislature. to request "our United

never had a chance to control the
prices OF their products, but have

ROAD CONTRACT SYSTEM.

The township Board OF Summit
township is the first in Bates county
to take advantage of the Law which
provides for working the roads by
contract system. For the purpose
OF inaugursting that system an cleo
ton iis called ON Feb 24th, and il a
majority vote is cast in favor of the
proposition the road work viii be let
10 the lowest and best bidder, and
all road taxes will be collected in
cash, the same as all other taxes.
We be- eve the Summit Board has
displayed a course OF widom in this
action. To make and keep up good
roads requires intelligent, systematic
and concentrated effort, which is inn
possible to obtain under the system
where the taxpayer is allowed to
work out his road tax in aspasmodic
effort OF one or two days in the whole
year and that usually when it suits
his convenience, without any regard
to season or conditions.
II is estimated that each township
in Bates county spends on an aver
age Of twelve hundred dollars on the
roads each year. That amount col.
lected in cash and wisely expended
by a careful, conservative Board, un
der the contract system, ought to
put and keep the dirt roads in good
repair. We do not mean to let the
contract, in general terms to keep
the roads in good repair" thereby
preparing for controversy and trou-
BILE from the very start, but the
Board should prepare plans and
specifications OF the work to be done
and hold the contractor strictly to
their fulfillment.
And why should not road taxes be
collected like all other taxes, in cash?
It seems to us that the present sys-
TEN smacks a good deal OF the good
old time when leaf tobacco and coon
skins were more plentiful and conse-
9uently mereeenyenient asa medium
OF exchange, and a farmer didn't
have the two dollars, but was willing
to swap stories and tobacco with his
neighbors for a day on the public
highways,
The best time to work the public
roads is during the cropping season
and the loss to The thrifty farmer o.
a day or two at that time means
much more to him than the amount
he would have to pay in road tax.
We hope to see the voters of Sum
NIT adopt the contract system and
give it a thorough test. 1t is GER
tainly a progressive movement, ont
in the right direction and promises
much. Every township in the coun
ty will watch this venture and vii
profit by its success.

In speaking at the banquet OF the
Minnesota society in New York city
Archbishop Ireland expressed the be-
lief that Canada eventually will be un-
der the domain of the United States.
The transition, he said, would come
without conquest, without war.
After telling of the growth of Amer
lea in comparison with other great
nations, the archbishop said:
within a few years the commerce
of the states on the Pacific coast will
equal that of those on the Atlantic.
The development of the lands to the
east, the west, the north and the
south is going on more rapidly and
safely than ever before, and we are
reaping and will continue to reap bene-
fits. From the east the movement will
be westward to that section, and from
the west eastward to the same destina-
ton.
~ do not want to belhcose, but
say this for myself: AS sure as fate,
although you and may not see it, the
starry banner will wave mistress over
all the territory from the gulf to the
bay. There will be no conquest, no
war. The hearts across the border are
already beating with hove for us, and
commerce and agriculture are calling
for espousals."
Reason for the increase of the
power of the United States the arch
bishop found in the universal liberty
enjoyed by the citizens. lie said that
he had the greatest confidence in the
perpetuity of America as the home Of
human liberty, and that what every
American needs to insure this is con-
/ seriousness of ones own rights, which
should be demanded and sustained,
and, secondly, respect of the rights
Of others, and an inclination to help
them to widen every opportunity.
