THE PREIDENT'S LETTER
OF ACCEPTANCE.

President Roosevelt's letter of
acceptance covers a wider scope
perhaps than anything of this
nature ever before issued by the
nominee Of any party. lie de-
tends, most ably his position on
the Panama question and the
actions of the Republican party
throughout the present administra-
ton particularly. In regard to
labor and capital he has the fol-
lowing to say: ave recognize
the organization of capital and the
organization of labor as natural
outcomes Of our industrial system.
Each kind of organization is to be
favored SO long as it acts in a spirit
of justice and of regard for the
rights of others. Each is to be
granted the full protection of the
law and each in turn is to be held
to strict obedience to the law;
for no man is above it and no man
is below it. The humblest in
dividual is to have his rights safe
ganrded as scrupulously as those
OF the strongest organization for
each is to receive justice, no more
and no less. The problems with
which we have to deal in our
industrial and social life are mani
fold, but the spirit in which it is
necessary to approach their solu.
ton is simply the spirit of honesty,
of courage aid of common sense p

The Republican ticket is now
before the people of Delta county
and it will not be long before the
voters will be called upon to decide
who our next set of county officers
shall be and from what political
party they are to be selected. AT
the present time all indications
point to a most complete victory
for the entire Republican ticket
However it never pays to be too
confident in political matters, at
least not SO much as to become lax
If every good Republican will do
their part the victory is ours to a
certainty.

BISHOP POTTER'S SALOON.

If Bishop Potter is really sin
cere in his recent saloon move
ment lie is making an attempt
to reform these places which have
always existed in the metropolitan
cities. If saloons must exist is
there any good reason why they
should not be made better! In
other words why should they not
be reformed, so far as possible,
especially in places where it seems
impossible to get rid of them. In
dealing with other things this
policy is generally pursued. In
bettering governmental conditions
we do not believe in discontinuing
the government altogether--at
