Our people are better, purer and

We believe Speaker Cannon is right.
The trend of public opinion is onward
and upward to higher and better
things than ever before. Popular
education and the widespread intel
ligence of the masses have made and
will continue to make. higher ideals
of life necessary.
We stand at the dawn of the
brightest century the world has eyer
seen. We are on the eve of great
scientific discoveries. New doors are
to harness new forces for human
good as marvellous to US as would be
the achievements of this modern time
to our grandfathers. We are standing
at the gateway of great opportunities
for humanity and for knowledge.
The century we are now entered
| upon is to be the brightest the world
has ever known, century of splendid
opportunities, with not a dark spot
blotting its brilliant horizon. Not
single dismal cloud that forbodes
disaster can be seen in the future
before the world. The twentieth
century is to be the "brightest" of all
the centuries, a century of great
scientific discoveries, "of the harness

Again we say, bless the optimist.

ONE ISSUE

One after another the various issues
of the campaign have been taken up
by the Democratic managers and
abandoned, as in every instance they
have proved boomerang. There is
one issue, however. that our friends
consider vital, and that is the person
atty of President Roosevelt.
Probably not In all history have the
acts and utterances of any single man
been brought out so clearly for exam
ination and Investigation as have the
acts and utterances of Theodore
Roosevelt. Probably no man occupy
ing the various positions of trust and
the various offices Of honor and re-
sponsibility ever made so few mistakes
as has Theodore Roosevelt.
The fact Of the matter is that the
more one studies the character Of
Theodore Roosevelt the more one
becomes impressed with the fact that
above all he has been sincere, honest
and absolutely unassailable upon any
ground in which he has interested
himself for the good of his country
and his fellow-men. He has well
illustrated this point in few Of his
epigrams, none of which is stronger
than the words, "Give to every man
a square DEAL" There is no worthy
man SO humble that cannot have the
friendship and the help of Theodore
Roosevelt, regardless of race, condi-
tion or color.
