to the door and listened. He heard

fool, for bringing the wrong key. then.
while Mike was evidently gone after
the right key, he heard enough con-

him out, and then did the same
for the horse in the next stall. which
he led into and tied in Mediator's
place, then he tied Mediator In the

HE had barely completed this ex-

Mediator's head, when the door opened

temporary chairman Of the democratic
national convention at st. Louis, indi-
Gates that the time is at hand when the
administration at Washington is to be

worthy acts in the last four years.
What are those acts? asks the Chicago

The administration interfered In she

pie of Chicago, New York and a hundred
other cities were on the verge of mob
law. Yet no sooner did President
Roosevelt interfere than there was
tranquility throughout the nation.
The administration got there, and the
results were what the people wanted.
The administration proceeded against
the Northern Securities company. II
established beyond doubt or question
the fact that in this country no indi-
vidual, no corporation Is above the law.
Again the administration got there,
and the result was what the people
wanted
The administration grappled with the
problem Of half century on the 18TH
mus of Panama. Despite tempestuous
assaults from the democrats and anti
imperlalists, 1t overcame all difficulties
and solved the problem. To-day there
is nothing more In doubt on the 18TH
mus. The administration got there
and the result is what the American
people have wanted for so years.
The administration set out in the
face of hot opposition, to pacify the
Philippines. To-day there is peace In
the islands. Again the administration
got there, and the result is what the
people have wanted.
The administration went out to show
