FOR HIGHER CIVILIZATION.

In a letter to the Roosevelt Republi-
can club Of Cincinnati, Secretary Taft,
on behalf of himself and President
Roosevelt, took occasion to give the
club some good advice. Among other
things the secretary said:
The conduct of municipal affairs
has no national relation to the conduct
'of national affairs, and while it does
not seem possible to eliminate from
municipal elections the system of nom
mating party tickets, there ought GER
tainly be cultivated a much wider spir-
1t of independence at municipal cleo
lions in the scratching of improper can.
didates selected by either party than
is likely to be ever exercised with ref
erence to state or national elections"
After reciting that the club can &C
.%complish more by selecting those best
qualified for candidates f. public Of
fee. and not simply because the candi-
date may be a member of the club, he
concludes as follows:
THAT the club will always resist and
expose corruption, and be active in the
promotion of reform in public affairs,
and If it will follow practicable and SEN
sible methods of organization for the
purpose of achieving practicable polit-
ioal objects and its members VIII work
with the effort worthy of a great cause,
it will certainly assist in attaining that
winch you declare to be your final pur-
pose, to-wit, the ~inculcation, mainten
.ance and furtherance of high ideas of
American citizenship"

Tommy and THANKSGIVING.

~
Gov. Folk, of Missouri, was talking
about reform.
I'VE all believe In it." he said, but
we want to see it brought about at
other folks expense. We are like, too,
a certain Kansas City boy.
This boys mother said to him, on
her return from a long days shopping
In the Thanksgiving season.:
NOW hope my little Tommy has
taken to heart mammals talk OF last
night about charity and usefulness.
Since he has few troubles of his own,
| hope he has thought of others trou-
bles all day long. Since he has many
causes for thanksgiving himself, 1
hope he has tried to give causes for
thanksgiving to others? What is my
Tommy's report for the day? How
many acts of kindness has he done?
How much woe has he lightened. How
many hearts has my Tommy made
grateful and glad?'
I'm this rather mushy way spoke
the good young mother. And her Tom
my replied:
I've done a whole lot Of good, ma.
/ gave your new hat to a beggar wo-
man, and | gave the cooks shoes to a
little girl in busted rubbers what I
seen on the street, and l gave a poor
lame shoe string seller pas black eve
ming suit, the open front one that he
hardly aver wears"
