THE NOMINEE

The history of President Roosevelt
has become too well known to the
people to need repetition at length in
the columns of the newspapers. He
was born in New York City, October
81, 1858, and is therefore in his 46th
year. He has accomplished more, in
that time, than most men in a long
lifetime, but the most important of
his acts have been those of his ad-
ministration of the office of President
OF the United States. 1t is by his
course as National Executive that he
will be judged and in this respect he
has proven himself statesman and
patriot in whom the people and the
country can place implicit trust.
His continuance in the high office
which he has filled with such signal
ability since the death of the lament
ed Mckinley, will maintain the con-
tidence Of all classes of people in the
security and successful progress of the
country in all its material interests.
Charles w. Fairbanks, of Indiana,
who has been nominated on the ticket
with Mr.. Roosevelt, as the Republi-
can candidate for Vice President, was
born in Ohio, May II, 1852. Like so
many of our prominent statesmen his
early life was one of toll and compar-
ative hardship. He worked on his
fathers farm until he was fifteen
years old, attending country school
in winter. Then he attended col
lege not far from his home and after
his graduation spent some time in
Pittsburg, Pa, as agent of the AS
ISOLATED Press. He studied law, set
tied in Indiana, and gave his atten-
ton almost solely to his profession,
until about ten years ago. In 1897
he first entered the United States
Senate and has been reelected for
a second term. He is man of mark
ed ability and high character and is
equal to any responsibility that may
come to him through his nomination
for the high Office of Vice President.

with all its propelling apparatus on
one side, came on pushing big der
rickcar. Reaching logs scattered near
by, pair of grab-hooks placed near
the middle of each, swung the huge
timber from ground to car, easily
as lion shakes the dew-drops from
his name in the sunlight of the morn
ing"
The ride homeward was without
startling incident except at Piedmont,
where Mr.. Bond left the train amid
the gra teful chorus
For he's jolly good fellow, etc.

power to bring into being. For this
reason it was adopted to represent the
Deity. By this means Jeroboam
wished the people to keep God in
mind while they omitted their pill
grimages to the temple at JerusaS !
He broke the second commandm~ Il
in his effort to keep the first.
In order still more completely to
break with the ritual of Judah, he
changed the harvest feast from the
seventh to the eighth month. A
modern analogy is found in the at
tempted abolition of the seven-day
notion in order to obliterate Sunday
a decimal system being substituted.
This was done by the French Revolu-
ZIONIST.
, A wrong sense is conveyed in the
authorized version of the translation
The made priests of the lowest of the
people" He did not elevate tom,
Dick, and Harry to the priesthood.
He was too shrewd for that. What he
really did was to buttress his throne
by choosing for ecclestical order from
among all the people, las in the Re-
vised Version; that is, capable men,
whenever he found them.
The Levites living in Israel showed
themselves self-respecting men. They
curried no favor. With one accord
they surrendered their livings. and
made an exodus to Judah. A modern
analogy to this is found in the Scotch
clergy. The loss sustained by Israel
was very great. 1t was like the ex-
odus of the Huguenots from France.
The stories of the Palsied Hand"
the Rent Altar and the "Lapased
Prophet" which cluster here, are
vivid, and each has moral. They
are we'll worth repeating.

LIVES WITH HOLE IN HIS FACE
Floyd Sprlgg Survives An Unusual
Operation IN Baltimore.

operation IN Baltimore.
A living man with hole several in
ches square in his face is the result of
an operation which was performed at
the Franklin Square Hospital Balti-
more, over week ago by DR.. John H.
Branham, one of the visiting surgeons.
The patient was Floyd Sprigg. IS
years old, of Davis, w. Va. The
whole upper jaw on the right side of
the frontal bone and the right eye
was taken out, as we'll as half of the
hard, or forward part, of the plate
and the roof of the mouth.
This man with half of his head cut
away, is going home in few days
and expects TO come back later and
have a guttapercha cast made to
take the place of the bone, while the
skin from the forehead and neck will
be grated over the spot, which is now
but a hole.
Mr.. Sprigg was suffering from sar-
coma or cancer. The growth began
last February and at first Mr.. Sprigg
thought it was merely some affection
of tooth. 1t continuedto worry him,
and, thinking that it was an abcess
of the tooth, he had several teeth
drawn. Still the growth spread and
when he finally came to Baltimore
little hope was entertained for his
life.
The operation was an extremely
difficult one on account of the loca-
ton of the cancer. 1t had made its
way back to the base of the skull and
it was necessary to cut this and to tie
up the main artery of the neck to
prevent the patient from bleeding to
death. Then the use of the knife be-
gan. There have been untold opera
tions for cancer of the face, but few
in which such a large quantity of
bone had to be removed. The work
occupied more than an hour.
Mr.. Sprigg rallied well from the an
esthetic, and considerably to the doc
tors surprise, was able to take liquid
food almost Immediately afterward,
it being expected that he would at
first find much difficulty in swallow
ing. 1t has not been necessary to feed
him with tube at any stage of the
proceedings, and he will soon be able
to eat everything that anyone else
can. 1t is believed that the germ of
the cancer has been thoroughly re-
moved and that he will haye no fur
ther trouble with it.
The operation for covering the APP
erture in his face will consist of draw
ing the skin of the forehead down
and grating new skin on the spot
The socket of the eye will be covered
as though no eye had ever been there
One of the effects of the operation
has been to stop all blood supply to
the head from the body. 1t was i'm
possible to release the artery, which
the physicians found it necessary to
tie it up before beginning the opera
ton and Mr.. Sprigg will live in more
or less danger from the bursting of
the blood vessel.
Mr. Sprigg is son Of the late Ran
dolph Sprigg, who was connected
with the operation of the Chesapeake
& Ohio canal, and brother of Mrs
Chas. A. Tower, of Oakland.

LATE REPORTS sny that prospects
for harmony between the contend
ing factions Of the Republican par
ty. the regulars and the antis. are
now good, that all is peace outside
OF Denver. As that city furnishes
but one fifth Of the Republican
vote of the state when properly
united, that party has more reas
on to hope tor victory than a short
time ago. Denver always has
been the place of ballot box slut
fling and kindred crimes by Dem
ocrats who do much to offset the
glory Of Republican victory in the
state. The sntis, in Denver es
pecially, should either remain in
and work for the good OF the Re
publican party or become real
Democrats instead of assistant
ones.

Quaint, Queer and Curious Suit
Lake Cit.

The late Col. John Cockerell in
The Cosmopolitan said, "There are
three unique cities in America,
and one ofthese is Salt Lake City"
1t is not only unique in its temple,
tabernacle ahd other Mormon
church Institutions, but quaint in
appearance, with its wide streets.
immense blocks and martial rows
of shade trees. 1t has, perhaps,
more attractions tn the square yard
than any city in the country, and
its climate, while temperate all
the year round, is particularly de-
lishtful in summer. The Great
Salt Lake, with its magnificent
Saltair resort. where the water is
''deader and denser" than that in
the Dead Sea in Palestine, is an
att, action in itself that people
come miles to see. There are
many cool mountain and lake re-
sorts near by, alsa numerous very
pretty canon and park drives, and
hot sulphur springs. Fishing and
hunting can be had in every di-
rection. Tie trip from Denver to
Salt Lake City and Ogden, via the
Denver and Rio Grande and the
Rio Grande Western. is one OF un-
surpassed pleasure. Here nature
is found in her .sternest mood and
the whole line is Il succession OF
rugged canons, waterfalls and pic
turesque valleys. No European
trip can compare with it in grand
eur of scenery. During the entire
summer there will be low excur
sion rates to Salt Lake City and
contiguous country. 1t is on the
road to the Pacific coast, il that ia
your destination. Write S. X.
