there to aominate him, and the
cheers that follow will be like the
smile on the face OF a boy who takes
a dose of medicine and is too brave
cry ABOUT it. but gives the sickly
smile instead. The people of the par
ty have ordered the delegates to take
the medicine, and the dose will be ia

fitness possible.
The monotony of the proceeding at
Chicago is only equaled by the pro
vember. But the best laid schemes
of politicians as well as "mice and
men gang aft agley." 1t is almost
five months before the voters Of the
country will pass on the actions of
this convention. What may transpire
in five months to change political
conditions mo prophet can safely pre-
dict. This supreme confidence which
the leaders of the Republican party
now profess may be but the %forerun-
ner OF a defeat so disastrous to ths
methods and candidates of the Chica-
go convention, that never again will
the present cut and dried" convention
program be repeated.

fill the offices for which they are nomi
mated, to the credit and honor of our
Country.
We shall ask it because the pres
ent policies of our government are
beneficial and ought not be set aside;
and the peoples business is being
well done, and ought not to be inter
fered with.
At evefA election, the regulation of
trusts hai.been the football of cam
paign oratorS and the subject of ma
ny insincere declarations.
Our Republican administration has
taken up the subject in a practical.
sensible way as a business rather
than a political question. saying what
it really meant, and doing what lay
at it's hands to be done to accomplish
effective regulation.
The Attorney General has gone on
in the same practical way, not to talk
about the trusts, but to proceed
against the trusts by law for their
regulation. In separate suits four
teen of the great railroads of the
country have been restrained by in
junction from giving Illegal rebates
to the favored shippers, who by
means of them were driving out the
Ismaller shippers and monopolizing
the grain and meat business of the
country. This beef trust was put un
der injunction. The Northern Sc
curities Company which undertook
by combining in one ownership the
capital stock of the Northern Pa
cifc and Great Northern Railroads
to end traffic competition in the North
west, has been destroyed by a vigor-
GUS prosecution eXpediated n
brought to a speedy and effective con
clusion in the Supreme Court under
the act of February 18th, 1903.
We have at last reached a point
where the public wealth of farm lane
which has seemed so inexhaustible
is nearly gone, and the problem of
utilizing the remainder for the build
ing of new homes has become of vital
Importance.
The present administration has
dealt with this problem vigorously
and effectively. Great areas had been

been excluded. Many of these unlaw-
full aggressors have been compelled
to relinquish their booty. and more
than 200, 900 acres of land have been
restored to the public. The further

our river valleys, has been checked
by the extension Of forest reserves.
