"Well, | hardly know. Father

sent. should dearly like such
life. Why, it would be equal to be-
ing queen"
Gracefully effecting her escape,
she rode slowly hcneward, with
sickening feeling of disgust, min
yled with exultation.
Day after day passed on, and,
while o1twaTdly events pursued
: their usual course, Mabcl's plot was
progressing rapidly.
Indeed it required all her skill
and tact to keep Jack Wingrow in
proper subsection.
! But she was equal to the task, and
once fairly started in the scheme
she experienced strange, wild
pleasure in duping the infatuated
outlaw.
George had taken his employer
into their confidence and had select
ed several others whom he knew to
be trustworthy and upon whose aid
he relied at the moment of action.
The OUTLAW c,iicf had at length
persuaded her, with great apparent
difficulty, to consent to an elope-
ment.
According to their plans, Jack
Wingrow was to appoint himself as
guard upon that particular night.
Only one man was needed at any
time to act as such, for the cabin
was so strongly built that an en-
trance could scarcely be effected by
force even if undefended.
But with half score stout fel-
lows at hand they could, as they
thought, effectually defy any force
that might be brought against them.
Mabel was to- arrive. about mid
night and rap lightly upon the door,
Wingrow would open, and then,
mounting their steeds, they were to
leave the cabin to care for itself un-
til their flight was discovered.
The appointed night came at
length, and all was ready.
Mabel and George, leading their
five companions, fully armed and re-
solved to conquer at all risks, rode
out from the settlement and pro-
ceeded toward the outlaw strong
hold.
The men crept as close to the
door as they dared to, crouching
low down in the shade. Then Ma
bel advanced and gave the signal.
A low voice called her by name,
and as she replied the door opened
and Jack Wingrow emerged.
sHistl Don't make no noise. The
men ere all asleep. Let me- And
he strove to embrace the maiden,
who avoided him and stepped back.
Like hungry panther George
Mablie sprang forward.
Without struggle Wingrow was
thrown down and hastily bound end
gagged.
Then the settlers nJiselessly en-
tered the cabin and lighted the
lamps until all within was light as
day.
The heavy slab door leading into
the vault was partially closed and
secured. Three men took their sta
tions beside the entrance with club
bed rifles, while others stood with
ready revolvers commanding the
doorway.
Then George set up a loud cry Of
"Fire!"
The desperadoes focked to the
entrance, and one after another fell
like logs, while the young herder
continued his cries.
a wagon vas procured, and the
prisoners were taken to the settle

tried and condemned to death.

Words of Cheer for the Democracy.

1t has been given out to the forlorn
and dropping Democracy that "Willie
Hearst is lOosening up; that he has
been induced to put In a few thousands
to open headquarters for the National
Democratic clubs. The hungry know
we'll that this means that Hearst as
pires to be candidate again. but they
are not worrying about 1908 now.
Four years ago Hearst was presi-
dent and footer of bills for the Ma
tional Democratic clubs. The mem
bers met, If memory serves Alright,
at indianapolis, expecting to greet
their president. But he sent one Of
his hired men to receive the greetings
of his admirers. This dampened the
ardor of the crowd, despite the fact
that their fare back home was paid.
The November election settled the
whole concern, but it seems that the
N. d. G. is to be resurrected, what
little there is left of it's ashes.

ROOSEVELT AND FAIRBANKS.

they clamored to be of his regiment
He became police commissioner in
New York, not for ''the money there
was in it, as was the custom in New
York, but to see that certain abuses
were remedied. They were remedied
in spite of the opposition of other
members of the board. He became as
sistant secretary of the navy in order
to carry out certain plans Of naval pro-
gress. He enlisted in the Spanish war
from patriotic motives and made rec
ord. He was elected governor Of New
York on account of his public services
and was nominated for vice-president
against his own wishes for the same
reason. In all these positions and as
president of the United States he has
done his duty fearlessly and honestly.
The people have learned to regard him
as a man of action; as man who does
things and who can be relied on in
an emergency. In common phrase he
is regarded as a man "who will do to
tie to-"
Against such a record as this the
negative record Of a man who has
done nothing but write legal opinions
and indorse' Democratic platforms
amounts to nothing. AS man Of

In 1896, when Mckinley was first
elected, there were 9SS savings banks;
now there are LOTS, an increase of 10
per cent. In 1896 the number of de-
positors in savings banks was $685.
494 and the total deposits $780,, O0O,-
600; in 1903 the number Of depositors
had increased to 1906 ,2SS, and the de
posits to $2,935, 100000, an increase in
round numbers Of $1,O2S, 100000. AS
deposits in savings banks are mainly
by wage-earners and persons of mod
crate means, the great increase in the
number of depositors and the aggre-
gate deposits indicates general prosper
ity-the result of Republican policies
and administration.

Of grasping corporations have such a
hold on the Democratic candidate that
they will continue to control him.
Their relegation to the rear is merely
a ''blind" to deceive the people. When
Parker visited New York he told his
managers he did not wish his remarks
on the trusts "Queered," and that dur
ing the remainder of the campaign the
magnates who have been parading and
jubilating over his nomination should
be less open in their demonstra tons
of JOY. He further said he could not
get close to the people as long as the
trust magnates openly shouted for
him. What the judge meant was that
his wealthy sponsors should keep
dark" until after election, when they
could come to the front again.

Shy on Sunshine.

Sunshine is so rare in England that
the government takes great care to
measure it. The official summing up
for 1903 as regards sunshine shows
that all districts in the British isles,
with one exception. fell short. of the
average. The exception was England
Northwest, including Manchester, that
curiously had an excess of fifty-seven
sunny hours. In Scotland north, west
and east the deficit was 81 hours, 4S
hours and 1873 hours. England north
east and east were short by 1O7 hours
and 1870 hours, while in England south
and southwest the deficit was 68 hours
and 115 hours. The midlands were
behind by 90 hours. In Ireland north
and south the shortage was 81 hours
and 113 hours. Commonly the islands
in the English channel have a large
share of sunshine, but last year they
were 135 sunny hours short. New

to the time it will take to prosecute

to a mill with a sack of grain. It was
out on the prairie in Iowa. They boy
became tired watching the slow turn
ing of the stones, and, turning impa-
tiently to the miller asked:
"How long is this thing going to
take? am in hurry"

MR.. FAIRBANKs's LETTER
A Clear and Effective Statement of Re-
publican Principles. .e~ .-s,tssq-

n OAot1r anu LueCttVe statement OF re
publican Principles. - :..r
Senator Fairbankss letter of accept
ance is document which appeals di-
rectly to the business men and work
ers generally. 1t states clearly some
of the most important, but perhaps not
sufficiently understood, tenets of the
Republican party in it's conflict with
Democracy.
In calling attention to the service
done to the entire country by the es-
Establishment Of the bureau of COM
MERGE and labor with a special de-
partment to deal with corporations,
the senator points out the first real
attempt by the government to deal
with the trust problem. He clearly
sees that the regulation of the great
combinations of capital by law is pos
sible, is necessary, and he shows the
consistent course of the Republican
party in this regard.
AS to our foreign policy Senator
Fairbanks rightly considers that we
have much to Ire proud of in the firm,
conservative and thoroughly broad
and Christian policy which has been
adhered to during the years of Repub-
lican administration. The tremendous
expansion in our trade, our foreign in
tePests and influence has been accom-
plished by peaceful methods, and no
remote sign Of war has appeared upon
our horizon in the years following the
establishment Of new national rela-
tons or our acquisition OF vast ter
ritory in the far east
In his enunciation of the Republican
idea of the desirability of closer trade
relations with our great neighhor,
Canada, the candidate for the vice
presidency is peculiarly happy. He is
plainly for liberal movement for reci-
procity between this country and the
people just over the line to the north
He also emphasizes the value of the
''Open door" secured for us in China,
and promises a continuance of the
benefits of that result of our recent
foreign policy.
AS whole, the letter Of the vice
presidential candidate is strong
paper, one which commands respect
and confidence. Senator Fairbanks is
meeting the American people face to
face, from one end of the country to
the other. in his very lively campaign.
1t Is well, however, to have in hand his
written opinions and aspirations as a
public man on the great questions at
issue at this moment.

Legislative Landmarks.

: Some of the landmarks Of historic
legislation created during President
ROOsevelt's administrati ton are: az The
law for the civil government of the
Philippines; (2) corporate legislation,
chief Of which is that creating the
department of commerce and labor,
with broad powers, which, in the ma
ture Of things, must steadily grow;
81 Cuban reciprocity comforting ma
terial benefits. On both Cuba and the
United States; a. the treaty and laws
that make the Panama canal a GER
tainty; % the law for the irrigation
of the arid lands Of the great west
Against these accomplished results

that does things the Democratic party
has nothing to offer but empty words
and high-sOunding promises.

The POST Ought to Know.

The New. York Evening Post says
of Herrick, the Democratic nominee
for governor of New York:
He has been a common ward and
county boss in Albany while sitting on
the bench as one Of New York's high
est judges.
The New York Evening Post is an
eccentric newspaper, but it is re-
spected and financially responsible.
What it says of the Democratic NOM
inee for governor of New York is
criminal libel, or it is not. What is
the Democratic nominee for governor

stands for Hillism in politics, which
means that amy INSCRIPTIONS act is
justitiable if the end be gained. He is
the very opposite of President Roose-

lacks courage and decisiveness-two

A CRAZY COMMENT

The Democratic text book has this
extraordinary comment:
The Republicans have spent $500. OOO,-
600 on. the Philippine Islands and are
plunging forward with their dream of
military empire at extravagant cost.
Think what 5000, 100000 would have done
for arid America? The work of recla-
nation, now actually begun in a few
localities, might have been inaugurated
in every state and territory west of
the one hundredth meridian. Other coun-
tries find useful ways of expanding
their surplus capital for the benefit of
their own people. For instance, New
Zealand advances money to- worthy
settlers at very reasonable interest
charge, so that they may go forward
with the Improvement of their land and
the building Of their homes without
embarrassment.
And these crazy Democrats quote
New Zealand, as a specimen of what
Great britain is. doing, while in
another part of their same foolish
book they are protesting against our
improvement of the Philippines What
is going on in New Zealand we will
make in the Philippines. We have
taken up the burden Of the white man
and of Christianity and it is being
taken up by the Republican party
That is all there is to it.
Why are the leaders of the Demo-
cratic party so foolish as to whimper
and cry SO over what is a manifest
duty of part of the Anglo-SaXon
race. The American nation has made
it's way to Asia, and is going to do
what good it can there. This is part
of the blunt programme Of the Repub-
lican party. 1t will rest upon the is
