TO REPUBLICANS:

We are anxious to have every
Republican in close touch, and work.
ing in harmony with the Republican
National Congressional Committee in
favor Of the election Of a Republican
Congress.
The Congressional campaign must
be based on the administrative and
legislative record of the party, and,
that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's
personality must be a central figure
and his achievements a central
thought in the campaign.
We desire to maintain the work of
this campaign with popular subscrip-
tons Of One Dollar each from Repub-
licans. To each subscriber we will
send the Republican National Cam
paign Text Book and all documents
issued by the Committee.
Help US achieve a great victory.

LIES Looking Glass.

The world is like a looking
glass; if you smile in it, it smile:
back; if you frown, it frowns,
You may hear it said that one
of the conditions of life you can
not make or alter is environment
that it is fixed, inAexible, and
that you are its slave. That is a
lie. He who thinks the world is
full of good people and kindly
blessings is much richer than he
who thinks the contrary. Each
man s imagination largely peoples
the world for himself. Some live
in a world peoplPd with princes
of the royal blood; some in world
of pauperism, crime and priva-
ton.
The choice is yours. Psyche
logy has pretty well established
the theory that ghosts are Great
ions of the subjective mind and
trouble-fnding is very like ghost
seeing. You see frightful COB
Inns in life, if properly traced,
will be found to begin and end in
your own mind. Refuse to be-
lieve them, and they cease to exist.
Life without trials, small or
great, is impossible. We must
meet and conquer them, or let
them conquer US. But we need
not waste our strengthen borrow
ing troubles or going half way to
meet them.
1t is for you to say whether the
mirror of life shall return to you
smiles or frowns. 1t is for you
to say whether you will crouch
in the glooms, the companion of
hateful COLLINS, or stride in
bright sunshine, seeing smiles
and catching shreds of sweet
song.

The President.

When it is considered that
the President Of the United States
is perhaps the hardest worked
man in the world to-day, that he
has the cares of the greatest ma
ton on earth to burden his mind
and heart and conscience, it must
be a source of wonder how he
stands the gaff," as the sport
ing phrase has it. But it may be
truly asserted that Mr.. Roosevelt
also submits himself to many an
extraordinary ordeal which doubt.
less he might consistently avoid
were he minded to do 80. There
are thousands of strong men who
collapse under not nearly 50 fierce
an onslaught as is being made up.
on him almost constantly. The
question then is, how does he
hold himself so well together?
Well, if one will but observe
the man it will be seen that he
has acquired the saving quality
Of keeping his soul and body
young by play.
Up to the time of Theodore
Roosevelt it was considered thai
a President of the United State:
could not unbend his dignity suf
fciently to act like a boy out Of
school, as he is now doing. YET
was there ever a President more
respected than he is? Has there
ever been a President who served
his country better or more faith
fully or with more far-reachine
results.

To Fine Railroads.

The United States government
has found a way to fine railways
that habitually run their trains
behind schedule. Late trains are
a general nuisance, and in many,
if not most cases they are aresult
of carelessness in management
or operation.
The government, very proper
ly, will hold the railroads up to
their mail contracts, and will fine
delinquents. The railroads Sc
cure the contracts in competition
with each other, and the award
is made on a basis of relative
speed. When the mails are habit
ually delayed for hours, and i n
portant connections are frequent
ly missed, the railroad cannot
claim that it is complying with
its mail carrying contracts.
The travelling and business
public blesses the postoffice de-
