 He believes that respect for and obedience to law are the foundation upon which this government must rest and that the violation of the oath of office is little less than treason. He believes that the Constitution of the United States and every amend ment thereof should be rigidly enforced and that it's violation by whatever sub terfuges or indebtedness ofexpression should be condemned and remedied. He is, for these good and sufficient reasons, the man whom the people of every section and in every walk of life want for this high office.

 With his nomination and election what an inspiring prospect opens up before the Party and the Nation? With 1t will come that calm and peaceful assurance that while prosperous, hap py and contented at home, a wise, safe and skillful diplomacy guards and protects our every interest throughout he civilized world.
 And finally with it will come an ad- vanced step toward the fulfillment the great mission of the Republican party.

colored man was treated as eompan-

made to feel Is if he was were not only

in their hands and allowed them to

and graudest example of the equality

There has been no great change in
crop conditions since the July issue
of the Fruit-Grower was sent out.
The apple crop is now the great crop
for fruit farmers, and this is in bad

West. New York's crop is fair, but
not so large as was at first indicat-
ed. Pennsylvania and states in that
section are in about the same con-
dition, although West Virginia and
Virginia send unfavorable reports as
to their crop. Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois promise % to 33 per cent of
crop, but fruit is scabby. Missouri
is no better. Kansas, Arkansas. Ne
braska and Iowa promise better
crop than this, but in these states
the crop will not be half a full crop

what form it takes, so that it is
rational and is pursued steadily.
One more qualification it must
possess. 1t should be taken, as
much as possible, out of doors, or at
least in the fresh air. This is one OF
the drawbacks to such games as
