MONDAY, SEPTEMBER II.
TALK 1T OVER

That was an excellent point made
by Rev. Mr.. Dorward i'm his speech
before the Fordyce club Saturday
night, when he said that the charges
that the Fordyce movement was
breaking up the republican party
was ridiculous as the party is All
READY BROKEN, for the bosses
and the corporations which they
serve, have driven a large number
out of the republican party and this
reform movement is to CLEAN
HOUSE AND REUNITE the party.
Think this point wei and then dis
cuss it with your friends. Republi-
cans on all sides are heard to say that
Roosevelt is the only man the repub-
leans can nominate i'm 1908 and be
sure of winning.
Why?
SIMPLY BECAUSE THE GREAT
MASSES OF VOTERS ARE DIS
GUSTED WITH THE PRESENT
CONDITION OF AFFAIRS.
They see the trusts and big corpo-
rations in absolute control of the gov
eminent, except where President
Roosevelt has been successful in driv-
ing them out.
All this means that unless the re-
publican party changes its ways,
SHAKES OFF BOSSISM AND MA
CHINE DOMINATION it is going
down to defeat.
Those men who think more of their
party than what there IS in it for
there is in ii for themselves, read this
handwriting on the wall and are en-
deavoring to save the party. They are
backing the reform movement in an
effort to throw overheard the bosses
and their h%irelings, who are the Jo-
nahs, and restore confidence i'm the
republican party once more.
As for breaking up the repubIi-
a party in Middlesex county, DORY
STRONG HAS DONE THAT AL
READY. IL he had not attemDted
to be the boss and dictate everything
there would be no such thing as the
Fordyce movement.
BOSS STRONG HAS SUCCEEDED
IN DRIVING A LARGE BODY OF
REPUBLICANS OUT OF THE PAR
TY AND THEIR Is ONLY ONE WAY
go UNITE IT. THAT is FOR HIM
TO STEP DOWN AND OUT.
He will never do that willingly.
ror he thinks more of himself than
he does of the party. Boss Strong
is the cause of the split. Those who
want to unite the party should vote
TO nnscat him from power.

L am glad to know, however, that there has been an awakening,
principally in the east, among this class and that some of them have
begun to feel the very insignificant positions that they occupy on earth
and that they have determined to go to work. There is no reason in
the world why people should not be rich, but every man., no matter
how rich, SHOULD BE A PRODUCE OF SOMETHING that
will be of benefit to his fellow men.

WITHOUT ACCOMPLISHING SOMETHING is A BAD EXAMPLE AND

WHEN MELsA POSTED BILLS.
1t Was In Australia and She Wanted
to Give Concert.

Who would ever imagine, says the
Grand Magazine, that Mme Melba once
went forth armed with pail of paste in
one hand a paste brush in the other and
a roll of bills under her arm?
Such thing, however, actually hap
pened in the early days of her career,
when she was hungering for opportunities
to sing in public. While Nellie Mitchell,
as she then was. was still a schoolgirl
holiday making at Sorrento, in Victoria,
she got up concert in aid of one of the
local charities.
She asked her family to help her exc
out her own meagre savings, which she
intended to devote to the purpose but her
father, in spite of the fact tnat he was
very fond of music-and still has fine
voice. which he loves to use-dld not care
to encourage his daughter In her enter
prise In the hope of sitting her leaning
toward a professional career he refused
any aid whatever.
This check, however. did not daunt the
plucky little songbird in any way. She
determined. having pledged herself so far.
to carry the matter through, cost what it
might. without any assistance. Unfortu-
nately all her own savings had by this
time been swallowed up in the prelimi-
nary expenses, and there was not penny
left TO pay for posting the bills on which
she relied to advertise the entertainment
Having tried various ways of creum-
venting the difficulty without success, she
determined to be her own bill poster. She
went straight to the hotel kitchen and
persuaded one of the maids to make her
q quantity of paste.
Then she borrowed a bill posters brush.
and as soon as it was dark set oft on her
adventurous round and posted up every
one of the bills she had had printed. The
result of her enterprise was a big house
and a big success.
