George Whittemore. aged II or IS years
while hunting deer last Saturday came
upon large bear Unexpectedly. he
allows that he was much surprised and
somewhat frightened at meeting such
game, but kept his head level. The

so busily eating acorns. Waiting until
the bear turned his head toward him,
Whittemore who is a good gunner placed
bullet from his 3S-40 rifle under one
of the bears eyes. The bear, aroused
and astonished, stood upright on its
launches and gave howl Of pain and
anger, but he Immediately received an
other bullet in the head that ended his
life. The skin weighed 50 pounds. The
bear was estimated to weigh 400 pounds.

Roosevelt ss an Issue.

One after another the various issues
of the campaign have beUn taken up by
the Democratic managers and abandon
ed, as in every instance they nave prov
ed a boomerang. There Is one issue,
however, that our friends consider vita,
and that is the personality OF President
Roosevelt. Probably not in all history
have the acts and utterances OF any SIN
gle man been brought out 80 clearly for
examination and investigation as have
the acts and utterances of Theodore
Roosevelt. Probably no man occupying
the various positions of trust and the
various offices of honor and RESPONSE
bility 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 I'M
pressed with the fact that above all he
has been sincere, honest and absolutely
unassailable upon any ground IN whicI
he has interested himself for the gooo
of his country and his fellow-men. He
has we'll illustra rated this point in few
of his epigrams, none of which is strong
or than the words, "Give to every man
square deal"
There is no worthy man so humble
that cannot have the friendship and the
help of Theodore Roosevelt, regardless!
of race, condition or color. There is NJ
question which pertains to the public''
good, which pertains to the prosperit!
and progress of our country, which can
not have the advocacy and support o
Theodore Roosevelt. Therein lies tn
entire character of the man in nutshell
Therein lies the secret of the esteem
which he has compelled from every citi
zen who loves man of integrity, maj
of honor and a man of action.
Such man we believe should and will
on the 9th of November next obtain al
overwhelming majority of the votes
the citizens of his country in all Q
whom without regard to section or cor
dition he recognizes the brotherhood

The fact Is undeniable, says the Chi
cago Inter- Ocean, that under Democratic
rule the American people within living
memory have always gone back in pros
perity, or merely marked time, while
under Republican rule they have always
gone forward. Shall we 60 forward with
Republicanism as we have in the past?
Or shall we take the chance of going
backward with Democracy as we always
lave in the pastp The answer is with
the American people.

The Democratic campaign managers
are keeping up their courage by an
nouncing the certainty of Parker's
election. They certainly have monop'
oily of their information. The leading
Independent Democratic papers of the
country, who are supporting Parker,
treat Roosevelt's election as practically a
foregone conclusion, and the betting in
New York is at long odds on Roosevelt.
Betting is neither necessary nor desir-
able, but as an Indication of what the
prospect is it can not be disregarded.
Betting men don't give large odds unless
they have reason to think they are going
to win.
