Praise From The Enemy.

No other man ever rose from
police commissioner to President
of the United States in less than
five years. No other so
vigorously and so successfully
turned stumbling-blocks into
stepping-stones. Theodore
Roosevelt entered politics as
reformer as soon as he had left
college, and made a reputation
at the very start for public spirit,
honesty, combativeness and un-
shakeable physical and moral
courage. He made enemies at
every step, and every enemy
made him ten friends. The boy
assemblyman forced a hostile
Legislature to condemn its own
political allies. The young civil
service commissioner boldly
challenged the national leaders
of his party and compelled them
to observe the law. The police
commissioner trampled ruthless
ly over all the prejudices of a
cosmopolitan community, wheth-
er they represented the vicious
instincts of a criminal fraction
or the innocent desires of the
liberty loving majority. The
Assistant Secretary of the Navy

The result of the election this
tall in Custer county depends
very much on the voters getting
to the polls. All people are very
busy with their work. Every
body feels the election of Roose-
welt is an assured fact and some
will argue with themselves that
their vote will not be needed.
There is where the danger lies.
No one who hopes for the success
of republican principles should
think of staying home election
day. Not only is it necessary that
Roosevelt be retained as presi-
dent, but it is necessary that he
shall have congress back OF
him to sustain him. 1t is very
important that Nebraska elect
republicans to congress and re-
publicans to the state Legislature
The members of the state legisla'
ture will elect a United States
Senator at its next session. The
fusionists will do everything with
in their power to control the legis
lature in order to elect Bryan tc
the Senate. A vote for a POI
representative or state senator
will be vote for Bryan or Allen
In either case it would be a vote
against maintaining Roosevelt
No voter can afford to allow per
sonal grievieuces to come be-
tween him and his duty to him
self and his country.

thrust rude hand into the coils
of red tape that twarthed the
department and cleared the way
for the commanders that smash
ed the fleets of Spain. The
Governor Of New York accepted
the hostility of the public service
corporations by signing the Ford
franchise tax bill. The Presi-
dent of the United States chal-
lenged Wall street by forcing a
settlement of the anthracite
strike and ordering the disSolu-
ton of the Northern Securities
merger. He sacrificed his popu-
larity in the South rather than
"shut the door of hope" in the
face of the Negro. He secured
the partial fulfilment of our
pledge of Cuban reciprocity. lie

talk about the Panama canal,

of equalization that the board
would not increase the valuation
of railroad property and upon the
railroads it would make its cam
paign. Having lost out on its
presumption the Beacon seems to
have no other stock in trade and
presumes on the ignorance OF its
readers by attempting to lead
them to believe the railroads are
not required to pay their share
of the taxes and as consequence
the farmers will have to pay
their share of the taxes. AS the
assessed valuation of railroad
property has been raised 20 per
cent and all other property is
only raised IS per cent in Custer
county it comes with poor grace
for the Beacon to claim that the
farmers will have to pay what
in right and justice ought to fall
upon the railroads." The RE-
PUBLICAN has always maintained
that every individual as we'll as
every corporation should pay
their just proportion of the tax.
1t was upon that theory that the
new revenue law was based.
Railroads as same as individuals
should be compelled to pay their
proportionate share of the tax.
We believe the state board did
its full duty, We believe that
when the board increased the
valuation of railroads 70 per cent
higher than they were valued by
the populist board of equalization
that it made the valuation fully
as high as individual property of
the state. If they did that the
Beacon can not in justice to fair
play ask more. And when the
railroads pay their just proper
ton the farmer nor any other
class of property will be compell-
ed to pay any part of the tax due
from railroads.

JAPAN's RAPID PROGRESS.
HAs Converted HeFoslf Into . Power ful Nation In the Lest Quarter
 sl Century.

When l visited Yeddo and the ports of Japan in the winter of i860-61 the country was ruled upon the most exclusive Japanese methods, wrote Lord Woheley in the Cosmopolitan in 1895. The people were held in subjection by a hereditary nobility who ruled them with & rod of iron. They were then far behind China in all matters connected with sea pow CT, for in order te prevent any communication with foreign places all Japanese junks were, in accordance with the law, con. structed with low, open sterns, 70 that they dared not venture be. yond 8 few miles from shore.
 No one can be blind to the enor. nous strides in progress Japan has made, the immense reforms she has effected and the powerful nation she has converted herself into during the last quarter of . century. The result is the crea- tion of a power in the eastern seas that must in future be always taken into consideration by west. ern statesmen.

Turkish Beds.

A recent writer on Turkey says: "Bedsteads are not used by the Turks. Each room contains a large cupboard, built into the wall, in which the bedding is piled during the day, and at night the slaves come in when summoned to make up the beds on the floor. Other bedroom requisites, in the shape of washstands, dressing tables and wardrobes, are dis. pensed with as superfuous. For everyday ablution there is a small washing room with a hole in the floor for the water to escapa through, and if the hanun would wash her hands and face only, a slave brings the ewer and basin and pours the water over her hands. For special ablutfons she will go either to her own private hammam or to the public baths. She does her hair or has it done for her, seated cross-legged in her corner of the divan; and the old walnut-wood chests and eoffers in her treasure-room suffice to store her gauges and brocades, her silks and embroideries."

MAIDS EVASIVE ANSWER.
Her Employer Was Busy and Could Not Receive Callers-What
 She Told Them

Strange as it may seem, says the Philadelphia Telegraph, there is public man in this city who is blessed or cursed with a tender conscience that worries him in small matters as we'll as ip great. Among the things that he cannot justify to himself is the bidding servant to say that he is not at home when in reality he is inside his house. At the same time he is not able to receive many visitors who call upon him, and his only resource was to give instructions that polite excuses should be given. Upon one occa' sion such instructions were given to a maid, an Irish girl gifted with the readiness and good wit of her nation.
 "Then I'm to be saying, sir, that you're not at home r the maid in' quired.
 "No, Mary, noT was the reply; "that would not be true. If any one should ask for me, you must just put him on-sive him some evasive answer, you know"
 "I'll do 1t, sir, never fear," was the maids reply. Mary was as good as her word.
 That afternoon a person of i'm portance made his appearance. and was duly sent away. Tho faithful maid reported the cir cumstanoe to her employer.

 Many attempts have been made tc produce raw silk in this country. AZ early as 1923 mulberry trees were re- quired to be planted by all settlers in Virginia, and some silk was grown m the early days of the colony. In the second quarter of the last century the cultivation of silk seemed to give promise of success, but the enterprise degenerated into speculation in Chi' nese mulberry trees. and ended in ut ter failure.
