THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

Theodore Roosevelt occupies a
unique position in the estimation of
the American people. 1t is not that
other men in public life are not
honest. or earnest or incorruptible-
these qualities are not rare. 1t is
that Mr.. Roosevelt combines them in
an unusual way. He is possessed of
great physical vitality and mental
energy; he has of his own taste and
his own motion entered into various
occupations that have put him. in
touch and sympathy with all classes
of men, high and low. When he was
a raDchman he made the cowboys his
friends so that when lie became SOL

York, but TO see that certain abuses
were remedied They were remedied

Parental Responsibility.

When girls 60 estray parents mourn
in assumed Innocence and wonder
how it all came about. Ordinary pre-
caution would have advised them Of
perils invited by their girls. If they
had known of the tiirtations at the
depot and elsewhere in public they
might have cut it out. If they did not
know they are lacking in the most
important instincts of parental re-
sponsibility. The discreet father and
mother are not permitting their young
girls to roam in public places unat-
tended. If the ordinary restraint of
intelligent parental authority is
wanting youthful folly is very apt to
run it's course with chances much
against q stainless record. In every
town today and all the days, vain,
silly girls are inviting the familiar
ity of designing men. The harvest OF
ruined lives and darkened homes will
surely follow Meanwhile what are

A STRONG TICKET.

The republican party presents to the
voters Of Winnesheik county this fall
candidates for the county offices who
in every respect deserve and merit the
vote of every republican within the
county. They are all Winnesheik
county boys who have grown up on
farms In different sections of the coun-
ty and come from the sturdy, industri-
ous agricultural element which has
throughout the nations history fur
nished its greatest statesmen and most
competent officials
w. NJ. Strand, the candidate for
county attorney, is a product of Pleas
ant township. Through diligent labor
and persistent effort he acquired an
education, studied law and was ad
mitted to the bar. In his several years
of practice in this city he has been
| very successful. winning a number OF
important cases and yearly increasing
the volume of his business. His popu-
larity was indicated at the county con-
vention. when he easily won the
nomination from a large list of candi
dates. AS county attorney he will be
jealous in protecting the interests of
the county in all matters relating to
his official position. and should be
given the full party vote at the COM
| ing election.
S. E. Brickner, the candidate of the
party for CLERK of the District Court,
has been the popular and efficient de-
putty of Clerk A. L. Haakenson. and
gives every promise of serving the
people of the county in the same ca
pable manner as his predecessor has
done. He is courteous and obliging
in his demeanor. competent and eau
tious in the performance Of his duties
and has every qualification for the
office he seeks. During his career as
teacher before entering the Clerk s
office as deputy he was very success
ful. and the people of the county are
confident that by his election the
duties of the Clerks Office will be
performed with entire satisfaction.
I. Linnevold. who will be the nsxt
County Auditor has also shown himself
to be thoroughly capable to properly
pe form the arduous duties of Auditor.
AS deputy to Mr.. Masters, one of the
best officials the county has ever had,
he has become acquainted with every
detail of the numerous departments
of this busy office, and has proven his
adaptability by the efficient assistance
he has rendered Mr.. Masters since he
has been his deputy. Like the other
candidates, he comes from one of the
best farm homes in the county, and
possesses the requisite ability neces-
sary for a competent and successful
officer
H. S. Stlnson, the candidate for
County Recorder. lives in Orleans
township and after the first of January
will succeed the present popular and
capable official. 9. H. Lawrence. Mr..
Stinson received his education in the
public schools and at the Valdez Busi-
ness College and Normal School, since
which time he has been engaged In
teaching He comes from section of
the county which is entitled 10 recog-
milton, and is in every way capable to
perform the duties of the office. He
is very popular wherever known, is
courteous and accommodating, and
will make good official He is en-
titled to the full party vote and will
doubtless receive it.

Judge Parker. Judging from his con-
duct and the company he has kept.
stands for Hillism IN politics, which
means that any unscrnpulous act is JUS
tifiable if the end be gained. He is
the very opposite of President Roose-
velt, for his evssiveness shows that
he lacks courage and decisiveness-
two requisites that should not be
found wanting in aspirants for the
presidency.

Having "monkeyed" with "Roose

they have not changed their minds.

that his name and those of the other
candidates who we're nominated at the
same convention will go on the official
ballot under the name Of 'Republi-

Roosevelt and Fairbanks electors.
The opposing faction, formerly called
the "Stalwarts" has adopted the name
National Republican, but the La
Fcllette faction will contest their
right to go on the ticket under this
name, on account of similarity TO the
name Republican. Cook, the s.al-

stead In the recent Milwaukee eau

Judge Parker's frantic demand that
nothing further be said about Roose-
velt's personality is fresh evidence
that Democrats have become alarmed
over the effect of their assertion that
Rooseveltism is the Issue of the cam
paign. The more Roosevelt's person
ality is exploited the more popular
he becomes. Democrats have been
making Republican votes by the score
in quoting the Presidents utterances.
Protection has done more for the
American workingman and farmer
than any other policy carried out by
Repu blicans. If protection is rob

are the chief beneficiaries of the great

drop to the European level, which is
from 60 to 100 per cent. below the rate
now paid in the United States.
