ROosEvELr's POINTED WARNING.


 We trust our readers will not charge us with dwelling widely or recurring too often to the character of President Roosevelt. It seems to us one of the most momentous facts in American pol itics of today. It will be more and more an issue for he 'compels 1t. He Is not a shrinking or bashful creature and he loves the centre of the stage In the business world of the North there is profound discontent with his rest less and adventurous temper. If he is defeated as we firmly believe he will be. there will be no doubt of what will have caused the uprising.
 He addressed a formal letter last week to be read by ex-Secretary Root at the Cuban anniversary dinner in New York. For cold assumption and arrogance it surpasses anything that has eyer come from our Emperor ruler even. He has longing eyes upon the West Indies and South America. It Is known we barely escaped embodiment in San Domingo. He had all but com pleted his preparations for a descent upon that island. doing this furtively and secretly preparing for a dramatic surprise to the country. Senator Scott unexpectedly learned of the scheme and ran dismayed to Foraker and oth- CT Senators who had Roosevelts ear and these ran equally dismayed to head

rEr THE BREEzE FEAR NOT.

Sorry to see The Bullock County Breeze lose it's balance. It was a pret- ty nice sort of contemporary till it yellow jaundice, but since that unfor- tunate event it is seeing things through a glass darkly, and gives evil dences of a badly soured temper. Hear this:
 After such vicious and unwarranted attacks upon Hearst The Advertiser cannot conscientiously and enthusiastic cally give its support to Hearst if he should receive the nomination, which is not altogether unlikely. The Advertis- CT to the contrary notwithstanding.
 We beg The Breeze to --ep cool while the hot weather lasts and not run the risk of getting sunstroked. We beg to assure it that there is no need to borrow trouble about The Advertise CTS course for this paper is not going to bolt. We have an intense respect for the credit and glory of our common country, and an almost unbounded love for the Democracy for which we have for more years than our brother editor has spent in this good world Because of that love and respect we are going to use whatever power and talents are in us to save the party from the dis grace of being dashed to the chariot of the yellow journalist This much we owe to the party and the country and will perform the duty without fear or favor But if it is the fate of Democ- racy to be thus humiliated we propose to say on the boat and be dumped out with the other debris at the head of salt River.
 The extent to which The Breeze has been hypnotized is evidenced by its claim that the nomination of Hearst lis not altogether unlikely" We admit that almost anything is possible It is possible for one of Langley's air-ships to fly instead of joining the Hearst boom in it's search for McGinity. And we admit that many unexpected things happen in politics. It is possible. per haps. that the Hearst boom may take an upward slant and land him at the head of the Democratic ticket, but a snow-storm in Montgomery on the Fourth of July would be less surpris- ing event If either visitation Is in store for us we shall try to make the best of 1t, hoping that the future has brighter and better days in store for us and the country.
 Let not The Breeze worry itself with vain imaginings. The Advertiser has had heaped-up dishes of crow laid be- fore it in times past, and though 1t never felt like passing its plate for a second helping it has always managed to dispose of what was given it. There may be another mess of the same prov ender in the pot and if there is we shall try to dispose of it with what ap- petite we may. Even if the dish bears the Hearst label we must accept it, thanking God that we are in no wise responsible for the preparation of the hash.

To make Secretary Cortelyou Chair man of the Republican National Com mittee is only spreading a very thin veil over the real manager of the cam paign. who will be Roosevelt himself.

Joseph l.. Dobbin, well-known
lawyer and politician, and for a score
of years a prominent figures in G. A.
r.. and Masonic circles, died Of
heart disease yesterday morning
in his apartments in the Hamp-
shire Arms. The burial will be
in charge of the Scottish Rite bodies
of the Masonic order and services will
be held tomorrow afternoon at 2
o'clock at Masonic Temple.
Mr.. Dobbin had not been in the best
of health for some time. About a
month ago he had a somewhat seri-
Gus sinking spell. His condition had
varied since then, but in the latter
part of last week he showed consid-
cradle improvement, so much so that
his death yesterday morning came as
a surprise to his immediate friends.
His only living; relative is a sister at
Independence, Ind, who was notified
yesterday of the death Of her brother.
Mrs. Dobbin is at present resident
of California.
Mr.. Dobbin, who was SO years OF
age, came to Minneapolis in 1883. He
was greatly interested in the G. A. r
and in Masonry. In the former order
he became commander Of George N
Morgan post, and in the administra.
ton Of Department Commander, E
w. Mortimer, was judge advocate
general for the department of Min.
nesota. He was an ardent Mason and
for his zeal obtained the rare honor
of the thirty-third degree in the Scot
fish Rite. He was also a member Of
the knights of Pythias and the order
of Elks. 500
While participating freely in poll
tics, Mr.. Dobbin sought no politica
position until four years ago, when he
was a republican candidate for thu
legislature in the Forty-f1rst district
He sat in the legislative session O.
1901 and the special session of 1902
Mr.. Dobbin had already entered al
a candidate for nomination as judge
of the district bench at the coming
primaries and was considered strong
candidate,

LIMBS SPEECHES
SENT BROADCAST
MINNESOTAN FIGURES BIG in
CAMPAIGN LITERATURE.
Thousands of Copies of His Speech
on Tariff Revision and Canadian
Reciprocity Scattered Over the
Country-He Is One of Few North
erncrs Quoted.

While the republicans are trying to
settle upon a plan of campaign, says
dispatch from Washington, the dem
ocrats are sending out 1900 speeches
a day, and John Lind of Minnesota
figures conspicuously in the literature
intended to make votes for Judge Par
ker. A long speech of his on tariff
revision and Canadian reciprocity is
reprinted from the Congressional Rec
ord. This speech, with one by Con-
gresham Sullivan of Massachusetts,,
comprises the fourth pamphlet issued
by the campaign committee.
Lind Is one of the few northerners
whose speeches are reprinted for cam
paign diStribution. Seventy-five per
cent of tSe democratic campaign lit
erature is Me work of southern men.
The only n&thern democrats quoted
in the ten pamphlets already issued
are Lind of Minnesota, Fitzgerald of
New York, Sullivan Of Massachusetts,
Granger of Rhode Island and Hitch
cock of Nebraska, and yet 1t is In the
north that districts must be gained if
the democrats are to carry the coun-
try.
The democrats have no senator from
the north who can make speech, ex-
cept Newlands Of Nevada, and SO the
senator's whom they put on the stump
must be men like Bailey Of Texas,
Carmack of Tennessee and Daniel Of
"
ington that the northern democrats
quoted are given a great deal more
attention than they deserve. With the
exception Of Lind, all of them are
first-term men and they will In every
case have good deal of difficulty in
getting back to congress. That it is
good policy to "recognize' them on
personal grounds and also on sectional
considerations cannot be doubted.
These documents have been going
out from Washington for six weeks,
and If the democrats continue the
work until the middle of October it is
estimated that they will distribute
from this committee alone not fewer
than 100000.
The cost to the government of this
speech distribution on both sides OF
the political fence is something ire
mendous. Great sacks of speeches are
sent out from Washington by indi-
vidual members, as well as by the
party committees. Then with indi-
vidual envelopes the speeches are
again circulated to individuals, for this
committee does not make a practice
of attempting to reach the voter. II
Is really a wholesale house. The mer
in control of local campaigns know
better the speeches which their dis
trlcts need ana the persons to whom
particular appeals should be sent.

GOVERNMENT BLANKS.
Rules for Devils Lake Registration
and Entry Formulated from Recent

Grams Advised to Register in Person.

Chamberlain, S. D., Aug. SOL
diers who file for government lands at
Devils Lake, in North Dakota, will
have to file their declaration state
ment on a blank prepared by the gov
eminent. This: statement is official
ly made by w. A. Richards, commits
sioner of the general landoffice.
Many declaratory statements were
filed in the Rosebud registration on
forms that were varied, altho the
proclamation called for the govern
ment blank. They were accepted be-
cause the office wished to be liberal.
However, Commissioner Richards
has become convinced that this has
given rise to many frauds and will
occasion more. Another feature OF
the registration which will be rigidly
enforced is that part Of the procla-
nation requiring proof of service.
A mere affidavit that John Brown
served in the army will not be suffi-
cient. The declaratory statement will
have to be accompanied by dis
charge or q certified copy. These will
not be retained, but must be present
ed. Such proof of service must also
accompany entry on the Rosebud
lands.
After he has drawn a lucky number,
the old soldier must file thru the same
agent thru whom he registered, If
possible. This may be avoided, ex-
plains the commissioner, in case Of the
death of the agent, or for other cause,

will result in the fleeing of many old
