The charges made against him in the Dimocratic olatf km find an irrefutable answer in his splet- did administration, never surpassed in all the history of the Repuhlian party and never equalled by the party which seeks to discredit it.
 The election of the President is imperatively demanded by those whose success depends upon the con tinuance of safe. conservative and ef- ficient administration of public affairs.
 We have an ample record of deeds done, of benefcent things accomplish ed in the public interest. The vast business of the government has osen well administered The laws have been enforced fearlessly and ;npa- tially. The treasury has been ade- quately supplied with revenue, aEi the financial credit Of the government was never better. We have adopted ar ir- rigation policy which will build homes in the arid regions of the West The Panama canal, the hope of centuries, s in course of construction under the sole protection of the American flag.
 We have peace and great prosper fly at home and are upon good terms of good neighborhood to the entire world. These conditions constitute the strongest possible assurance for the future

OF interest is located about fifteen

CUSTODIAN OF THE FLAG
Pleasant Berth at white House for a
Naval Petty Officer.

Lieutenant David F. Sellers OF the
navy has been charged with the deli
cate and important duty OF finding a
suitable petty officer In the navy for
assignment to duty at the White
! House In charge Of the national flag
displayed over the residence OF the
President As Is well known. the nag
is at home. 1t is raised at sunrise and
lowered at sunset in strict accordance
with military regulations. Different
sizes of flags are used according to the
weather, from a small storm flag to
the standard post flag.
Owing to the many mishaps which
have occurred in the past to the flag
on the White House, 1t has been con-
cluded that its proper use and care is
a sufticient duty for one man. Hereto
fore the raising and lowering OF the
flag has been intrusted TO one OF the
men around the house having numer-
Gus other duties to attend to. conse-
quently it has happened that the flag
has been flowing In distress, that IS.
with the Union down, when there was
no occasion for such signal. and at
other times the man In charge has for
gotten to raise or lower Ii at the
proper times or to change 1t to suit
the changed conditions OF the wealth
er. To meet these conditions. which
have sometimes proved embarrassing.
It has been decided to have a capable
man at the White House, whose sole
duty II shall be to look after the flag.
In looking for such a man It was
natural the authorities should favor
a bly, consider the selection OF petty
officer OF the navy. as all such officers
have had at least twenty years ser
vice on shipboard and are thoroughly |
familiar with all the regulation and |
customs governing the display Of the |
ma tional emblem. Lieutenant Sellers /
Is one OF the Presidents military aids /
and he is also connected with the en- |
listment division Of the bureau Of nav
Igation. and so Is well informed re-
zardinz the records OF the men from
whom the selection Is to be made. The
choice will undoubtedly fall upon
some man who has rendered consplc-
uously meritorious service. and who /
nay. by receiving this pleasant assign
nent. receive some recognition for MS

COMPLAINS OF CHEERING.
Applause Considered a Pest at the Az
erage Ball Came


Harvard has complained OF the
cheering INDUCED in by Princeton. and
Yale has seconded her. There Is no
question but that at all college games
there Is entirely too much roofing,
singing and cheering on both sides.
The one idea seems to be to ridlcule
the oposition's pitcher or any other
player who Is momentarily doing the
important work But just why Prince
ton should be singled out as the object
OF attack by Harvard. herself a no
torious offender. Is hard to understand.
II Is very much the same as II two
men had agreed to rob a bank, and
one man having gotten the lions share
OF the spells. the less fortunate culprit
becomes suddenly virtuous and turns
States evidence on his pal In say
ing this we do not intend. of course, to
reflect in any way on the character Of
either Harvard. Princeton or Yale.
Their students are representative OF all
that Is best In America youth, but the
manner In which the former has start
ed out to bring about a reform Is not
only silly. but wholly Illogical Cheer
ing. as It to-day at the average college
baseball game. Is a pest and undoubt-
eddy needs modification. The best
statement OF the case that has yet ap-
peared. in our opinion. was in a recent
issue OF the Yale News. IL was as fol-
lows: Baseball Is largely a matter
OF nerves. and the continuous uproar
OF the present-day game is often suffi-
cient to prevent the players. especially
the pitcher. from doing themselves jus
tice. 1t makes little difference in con-
this matter, whether or not
the supporters OF our college makes
more noise than those OF another-the j
fact remains that Harvard. Yale or
Princeton have all been guilty OF this
sort of cheering to a greater or less
iegree. In spite Of this. 1t is acknowl-
edged at all three universities that It Is
IN unpleasant feature OF the modern I
,ollege game. II has now reached a
stage where. In the interest OF clean
port. definite steps should be taken to
suppress it"-Sporting News.
