mnistration of President Roosevelt. His de-
termined prosecution ofthose engaged in cor
rupting the postal service, his persistent ef-
fort for an early completion of the Panama

commission the power so that they can es-

prosecution of the beet, Standard Oil, and

Alcohol Bill, well as his constant fidelity
to the principles enunciated in the republican

There is no better way of building

patronage. The more we help each

The women Of this town have labor

to MAINTAIN truth and sobriety in the
home, teaching their sons and daugh-
ters that these are cardinal virtues,
and are to be priced far greater than

fact that home fe is the foundation
OF all life, and that municipal, state
and national existence is pure only as
the home-life is pure. The women of

What haye the women contributed

Many, many things-aye, more than

history of the world, way back in
Paul's day, when woman was looked
upon with something of disfavor.
That was an unchristain era. Today
the situation is vastly different, and
