THE NEW Law
on REGISTRATION
Under New Statute Only the
New Voters in the PIE
circt Must r. gister
IL he Duty Of
Registra S.

The last legislature made a num-
Der of changes in the election law,
one of which requires the registra-
tion books to be kept open during
every Saturday from and after the
first day of September and including
the last Saturday next preceding the
day of election. Heretofore the reg
istration books we're opened on the
first Saturday of August.
Under the law now person who
registered at the preceding election
and is still voter in the same pre-
cinct is not required to register
again, the registrar being required to
transfer all such names to the new
election register. Here is the law on
that subject: "The board must also
furnish the election register of the
qualified electors of the precinct made
at the last general election, or when
from any cause the register cannot
be sent, certified copy thereof. The
registrar must Immediately upon the
receipt of the register, or copy there
of. revise the same by striking there
from the names of all persons, who
by death, removal, from change III
the boundaries of the precinct, or
from other cause, have ceased to be
qualified voters in the precinct, or
who may have been from any cause
wrongfully registered, and upon SC
striking out the name of any voter
who is still residing within the pre-
cinct, as it existed at the last general
election, he must Immediately give
him written notice that his name has
been stricken from the register in the
precinct where he resides for regis.
tration, but an elector, who has beer
duly registered and whose name has
not been stricken out, shall continue
a qualified voter in the precinct
where registered at and for the las
general election. -
The compensation of registrars il
also changed to conform to the abov,
provisions, as shown by the follow
ing:
''The several registrars shall receiv
such compensation as shall be allowet
by the board of county commission
ers which in no case shall excee,
twenty -five-25-cents for each nam
newly registered and ten 10-cent
for each name appearing on the las
election register, and the compen
sation herein provided for shall b
paid out of the current expense fund. .

An Ideal American.

What this country wants now ls mel
not a few Of them, but a multitude-a
vast majority of her citizens who shall
be just such men as Theodore Roosevelt,
Of strong and rugged physique, Sinking
no labor. however hard. able to stand
the strain of sturdy integrity, guided by
high civic ideals, standing inf1exible and
inexorably for the truth and the right.
His " words from his address, The
Strenuous Life" may be taken as the
very basis and foundation for a new
source of philosophy and national policy
which will guard against all social dan
gers if the people Of this country will
but heed them:
In the last analysis. a healthy state can
make it up lead clean, vigorous, healthy
lives; when the children are so trained that
they shall endeavor moi To shirk difficulties
but TO overcome them, not to seek ease but
TO know how to wrest triumph from toll
and risk. The man must be glad to do a
labor, to keep himself and to keep those
dependent upon him. The woman must be
the housewife, the helpmcet Of the home
maker, the wise and Jealous mother OF
many healthy children.
Here is a remedy that goes to the
foundation. The words are those of a
leader and Garry with them Il warning
and an admonition. Theodore Roosevelt
has coined a word that we should take
as a national watchword and set it up
as a beacon light on every hilltop
throughout the nation: "Homemaker."

Good times under Renuhlican ADM


The Democratic depression of 1893
and 1894, to which the campaign book
inadvertently directs attention. was
marked by a falling off in deposits of
over S31 100000 in one year. Between
1893 and 1908 the average due each
depositor increased from 1860 to SAT-.
More significant than the increase in
deposits is the fact that in 1903 there
were 2,474,629 absolutely new savings
bank depositors in the United States,
marking an increase of nearly 80 per
cent. during a period when the total
population only increased "a per cent.
Col. Wright's Summary.
Turning now to the direct comparison
OF the advance in wages and cost of liv-
ing during the period under review, the
Democrats affect the greatest contempt
for the government statistics, which,
under the able. conscientious and UNI
biased direction of Carroll ID. Wright,
present the following instructive sum

Two Judges with Political Paat..

Democracy can always be depended
on to blunder. The nomination of Judge
Parker was a blunder, because he re-
ceived his early political training from
ID. B. Hill, one of the most notorious
wire-pullers and workers in devious ways
New York has produced. The nomina-
ton of d. Cady Herrick for Governor
OF New York, also was a blunder, be-
cause he was BOSS Of the Democratic
machine" at Albany before his election
to the bench. The Albany machine"
has a reputation as %unenviable as Tam
many's.

Grotesque Attempt by Democrats to Twist Facts
for Campaign Consumption.
GROSSLY INACCURATE STATE MENTS
Country Is Not in Throes Of a Disastrous
Business Depression, and Workingmen
Continue to Prosper What
the Figures Show.

Nothing could better illustrate the in
finite capacity OF the democratic party
TOR doing the wrong thing at the right
moment than its attempt to OUTAGE
acknowledged industrial conditions with
the bald statement of its campaign text
boOk-that business depression of this
year is greater than was that of 1898 and
1884"
AS there are as many million Ameri-
can voters as there are millions engaged
in industrial pursuits whose experience
spans the decade. and who now this
to be most fortunately false. there is no
need to waste time in refuting it. The
Democratic depression that prevailed
from 1898 to 1897 paralyzed industry in
its pinch was felt in every home. The
business depression of ..ns year" is SO
largely a Pigment of Democratic imagi-
nation that it requires a magnifying
glass to be seen. and what there is Of
it is rapidly fading from sight as the
prospects OF a great Republican victory
become more certain.
But the Democratic campaign book is
not satisfied with this grotesque generali-
cation, so it attempts to controvert the
Republican claim Of prosperous times in
farm. Office and workshop with the as
~scrtion that no one is better off by rea-
son Of increased incomes. because the
cost OF living has increased dispropor-
tionately.
How utterly and irrationally absurd is
this contention is proved by the fact that
dr. prices were advancing more rapidly
than the earnings of the great mass of
the people, the great mass of the people
would soon be irretrievably insolvent or
Itheir purchases wou.A be so curtailed
that the volume of business would be
enormously reduced.
There is no possibility Of making a
scientific comparison of the relative in
crease in wages and the cost Of living.
because they are controlled by different
factors. The rate Of wages is controlled
by industrial conditions: the cost of liv-
ing is controlled by the individual. No
man can fix his income at will; any man
can limit his expenditures. Let condi-
tons provide sufficient wages to the
w~orkingman. and it rests with him to
say by what margin he will live within
his income. The larger that income the
larger his possible surplus. If better
| wages breeds extravaganza, the result.
in the language of Mica wber, is misery:
it they are expended with economy, the
result is an accumulation Of wealth and
happiness.

The last few years Of Republican ad-
ministration have added untold millions
to the agricultural wealth Of the country
by opening new markets for farm pro-
ducts at constantly improving prices. The
beauty OF the Republican policy Of pro-
lection is that it develops manufactur-
ing and agricultural interests on paral-
lei lines.
