COMPLIMENTS FROM ROOSEVELT.

The presidents recent letter to Rep
resentative Watson is regarded as a
highly complimentary tribute to the
present congress. He states in the
letter referred to that not in our time
has any congress done so we'll in so
many fields of endeavor" and the re-
capitulation of those achievements is
in itself one of the strongest argu-
ments for the reelection of re-
publican majority to the house this
fall.
Commenting upon the letter to Mr..
Watson the New York Tribune says:
We are not sure that any portion of
the presidents letter will be more
eagerly sought and more earnestly
discussed than that relating to the
tariff. subject upon which some have
imagined discussions to exist between
the president and the republican lead
ers in congress. His treatment of it
will give little comfort to those who
have INDUCED such imaginations. nor
will 1t give other than encouragement
and satisfaction to those who are
striving loyalty to maintain the ira
ditional republican policy. What Mr..
Roosevelt says Is in exact accord with
the policy urged by his lamented pred
ecessor in that memorable last speech
before his assassination. He stands,
as congress stands, and as the whole
republican party stands, "unequivo-
cally for a protective tariff" But when
ever any rate or schedule becomes dis
advantageous to us as nation, it be-
comes fit subject Of opportune re-
vision.
The presidents declarations on the
subject of organizations. whether of
labor or of capital. are similarly ex-
plicit and convincing. He speaks in
favor of both such organizations, but
on condition that both act together in
a spirit of lawfulness, of Justice and
Of fair dealing. But" he adds, in
words which will be remembered,
where either type of organization is
guilty OF abuse, we do not propose to
weaken the remedial powers Of the
government to deal with such abuse"
What he says on the navy, on the eight
hour law, on the half holiday proposal
and on other topics is all straight to
the point and is an admirable ex-
position of republican policy and also
of the harmonious cooperation which
there has been and is between the exc
cutive and legislative departments of
government in seeking the fulfilment
of that policy. The whole letter will
serve as an inspiring keynote in the
campaign. and will powerfully con-
tribute to such result at the polls as
the welfare of the nation demands.

THE kNAUF OPPOSITION.

In all the history of the state, or of
any other state, there has never been a
more representative gathering than
the one held at Jamestown at which
a republican ticket was put into nomi-
nation. The delegates to that conven-
ton were chosen under the new pri-
mary system, and were known to be
In favor of or against the Sarles slate
before the people cast their ballots.
Their meeting at jamestown was for
the purpose of registering the will of
the voters as expressed at the pri-
maries.
So complete was the victory-two
votes to one-over the discredited
leaders of the insurgent forces that
not even the most malevolent muck
rake journal in the state has dared
to question the regularity or the legiti-
macy of the proceedings.
Yet because the stalwarts declined
to acceed to the insurgent attempt to
put democrat on the ticket for SUI
preme judge there has been mutter-
ings of disapproval over the nomina-
ton of Judge Knauf, and an effort is
now being made to effect fusion of
democrats and insurgent recalcitrants
against the republican nominee.
The Evening Times has earnestly
sought to find any tangible foundation
for the opposition to Judge Knauf, and
beyond the discovery that the leader
OF 1t is the attorney for one of the rail-
road corporations of the state, we have
not succeeded. No one seems to sup-
port the vague rumors against Judge
Knauf's standing as a lawyer and as
man Of integrity. and we are there
fore left to conclude that these ru-
mors are baseless and that they have
been put into circulation just as other,
ISLANDERS have been invented and cir
culated against public men by those
who are adopts in such things.
Judge Knauf has good record as
lawyer and as citizen, and one of
the best evidences that he has a mind
of his own and is not afraid to exer-
else it his friends freely admit that
he has some powerful enemies.
Whether this enmity can be traced di-
;rectly to the railroads remains to be
seem, but certain it is that a railroad
attorney is leading the opposition to
him, and this fact is suggestive.

nary lamp, it burns with an almost
non-luminous flame. When burned in
conjunction with Welsbach burner,
a brilliant light is had. A report from
the Testing Laboratories of New York,
whose work can be relied upon, has
shown that one gallon of alcohol will
give 25-candle- power light and is
equivalent to 1.471 candle-power hours.
while the same amount of kerosene
burning in most modern lamp will
give 9candle-power light and an
equivalent of 7S3 candle-power hours.
Alcohol at thirty cents gallon ia
thus commercially equal to gasoline

NEW ROLLER MILL RUNNING.

Mr.J. S. Stapp has been quite a
while in getting his Roller Mill equipped
and adjusted to his notion, but "a few
days ago he announced ready for bust
ness. AS we understand it, the Stapp
Mill is thoroughly equipped for produc-
ing the very best results in the way of
making high-grade mill products. The
time and money required in building
and equipping this mill is no small mat
ter, and Mr.. Stapp is to be congratu-
lated on putting in such valuable and
complete enterprise. While not inside
the corporate limits of Columbia, yet
it is within easy reach and will doubt
less do thrifty business from the very
start.
