RIVAL REPUBLICAN FARM
ERS.

Private Secretary Loeb, who is gen
eral factolum at Oyster. Bay, is a faith
full worker for his strenuous chief He
keeps his ear to the ground quite as
closely as Mr.. Roosevelt does and keeps
track Of the subterfuges and lodges
of the rival Republican statesmen and
does not intend that they shall outdo,
or attract more attention than bis
master does. This keeps Loeb busy,
for the willy ways of Fairbanks, Can
non and Shaw, and the less well
known candidates for the Republican
nomination for President, requires an
active aud fertile brain to cope with
them. Loeb had noticed that farmer
Fairbanks had been publishing the
fact that he was getting in his hay
crop, and not to allow his master to be
outdone, he descended to subterfuge.
He put up job with old Noah who
cuts the grass at Sycamore Hill to
await the appearance of storm be-
fore attempting to put the hay in the
barn." and then point out to the Pres
ident the danger of the hay getting
wet unless help was furnished forth
with. Noah's appeal to Mr.. Roosevelt
was promptly met and the diplomatic
Loeb had the camera man take a snap
shot of the President saving his hay,
in case some doubling friends of the
rival candidates should attempt to
prove that Roosevelt is no farmer.n
Loeb's literary bureau did the rest and
the correspondents were all furnished
with manifold copies describing how
Teddy got in his hay b'gosh.

non to corral the bucoIc vote is await

ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.

Young men keep out of politics"
says Senator Plat That advice would
be all right if Senator Plat had said:
Keep out of Republican machine pol
tiles which are rotten to the core :"
Every citizen of a Republic should
take enough interest in polits to invt s.
tigate the policy of pa ties and woe
always vote-according 20 the result
of his investigations. Young men, es-
pecially should take ali interest in pol
its, for ii is upon the young men of
today that the government of the Re-
public will rest tomorrow. Some
young man of today will he, in few
years, President Of this great country,
or he will be Senator, or Congressman,
or Governor of his own State. What
would happen if the young men of this
country would keep out of p 'litic.?"
Young men should inv, stigate how
the so.called Republican policy of pro-
lection that Plat and the other Re-
puollcan leaders stan for, taxes them
for the benefit Of protected interests.
Young men shou' know why the st
OF living is so GREATS per cent higher
than when the present tariff law was
enacted-and their salaries have not
increased in like proportion. Young
men should inquire why they are com
PEELED to continue in the employment
of others during all of their lives in
stead of as formerly looking forward
to be their own masters. 1t is rot to
the interest Of Senator Plat; or the Re-
publican leaders that young men
should investigate the plunderiug sys.
tenn that the Republican party stands
for, therefore they say keep out of
politics
