CHOICE OF YOUNG MEN.
President Roosevelt Represents Cour-
nxe, Nnnliness and Independence.

To the younger citizens Of the United
States, those who will cast their first
vote for President at the coming election.
1t would appear that Roosevelt should
appeal almost entirely. He represents
courage, nnd strength, and Independence.
and all the tendencies of those who are
ready to dare and do and work for the
betterment OF everything American. He
is no trimming, vnscillnting conservative
with any degree OF respectable craft in
his composition affecting his course, be.
cause OF the opinions and desires OF 9th
ers. He is not the selected representa-
tive OF n group, lsit is the American
Man, one OF the sort whom a young
man can admire and understand. He is
grit and sympathy. lie is u figure to ap-
precinte.
Old party lines are not rs well defined
ms they have been in the past. New is
sues have arisen, and those who for the
first time cast their votes for President
will not cast ii as Democrats or Repub-
licans because they must vote as their
fathers voted. Information Is more gen
cral than II was quarter OF a century
ago, and the young man thinks for him.
s'li' utNhuse nc Knows tnouEn 10 w np'
He. II he be not absolutely ignorant.
keeps step with the march Of circum'
stances. lie will not cast his vote nc'
cording 20 a legend.
II Is because OF this, because OF the
amazing difference In the personality OF
the candidates, that the young men will
inevitably incline TO Roosevelt. With all
regard for the eminent rcspectnbility OF
Mr.. Parker he must be looked upon as
having about the same degree OF mag
netism as the ordinary fish. no doubt n
useful product, but non-appenling in n
personal way. For the man who likes n
manly man, as young men do, there is no
comparison between the candidates.
Roosevelt will get the young mems votes.

FARMER A BANKRUPT
John Cutting of Webster County Vic.
tim Of Des MONIES River Land De-

Special to Times-Republican.
Fort Dodee. Nos. 29.-John Cutting,
of East Webster township, has filed
rapers of bankruptcy with Attorney
Frank Farrell oil this city. Up to the
Dresent time the standing of his affairs
has not been figured up, but it Is I'M
derstood that his assets will fall short
of his indebtedness.
The case of Join Cutting most
pecul ar or. ans parallel will not be
found in the state of Iowa. His faith
er came 10 Webster county in pioneer
DAYS and was among the very earliest
OF tn. early settlers. He settled on
piace CT land on what is known as
Hrush creek. lived in the same spot
anil IN he same house until his death
forty years later. John Cutting was
born and raised on the place, and when
he married twenty years ago he
brought his wife to the same house he
had known all his life.
Now it happened to be In the river
land section. When the decision went
against the settlers many years ago, he
felt that he could not leave the old
place. and being unable to pay for 1t,
he rented from the new owners. For
a time he made his rent and got on all
right. but with few poor seasons he
began running behind, and the rent
piled up more and more on him until
the present time, when it has reached
an amount that he can have no hope
of ever paying, and he has taken re-
course to the only method possible to
square himself with the world.
Mr.. Cutting has large family OF
children. but he has always been able
to pay his ordinary debts. and his cred
it is good. He has never failed to re-
spond when called upon, and he can
get anything he wants even at the
present time. whether he has the mon
ey or not. His present assignment
considered to be due rather to adverse
circumstances that have involved him
hopelessly in debt, than to any desire
on his part to evade the payment OF
honest obligations.

This community was made sad by
the news yesterday morning that one

about twenty years ago. By industry

realize his condition until within three
of four days. when pneumonia claimed
him. He will be greatly missed in

that he had been employed on the sec

Iowa Central. A later report came
that the man had escaped the author

well known man around Chaplin and
he was placed under surveillance until
Sheriff Wolfe could be summoned. Be-
fore Wolfe arrived Giler had escaped
