He does not mince words. There Is no
beating about the bush. Roosevelt shout
ders every responsibility which belongs
to him. 1 did it, he will say when the
cabinet questions something in which he
has moved centrally. He is fighter. He
has done things that are termed mis-
takes.
Trouble I believe, has been averted in
some cases only because of the .mplicis

have in his honesty and integrity. He 3

He is doing something all the time.
The great wonder to me is that he has
not broken down. He is ambitious. loves
to be in the front, where the action is in

Il like that kind of ambition. The reo-
pie like it. They know and believe in
Roosevelt. He is wonderfully popular.
Take, on the other hand, Taft He IS
honest, sincere, fearless, just as much
so as Roosevelt. Again. he is a popular
man with the people. In many ways he
is like Roosevelt. He does things But he
does them in a somewhat different way.

"The people believe him sincere, whether
or not they differ with him on political
issues His long standing with his party

proves that fact conslusively.

scandal. He would associate about him
in office just such men as has Roosevelt.

square and honest. This country is not
going to the bow-wows. That kind of
talk Is silly. One has to stop but a mo-

that above everything they are honest,

The REAL LINCOLN.

From Helen Nicolay's THE Boys Life OF
Lincoln, in st. Nicholas.
For many years 1t has been the fash
ion to call Mr.. Lincoln homely. He was
very tall and very thin. His eyes were
deep-sunken, his skin of sallow pallor.
his hair coarse, black and unruly. Yet he
was neither ungraceful nor awkward
nor ugly. His large features fitted his
large frame, and his large hands and
feet were but right on body that meas
ured six feet four inches.
His was a sad and thoughtful face,
and from boyhood he had carried a load
of care. 1t is small wonder that when
alone or absorbed in thought the face
should take on deep lines, the eyes appear
as If seeing something beyond the vision
of other men. and the shoulders stoop.
as though they, too, were bearing a
weight But In a moment all would be
changed. The deep eyes could flash or
twinkle with humor, or look out from
under overhanging brows, as they aid

gentleness.
So. too. in public speaking. When his
tat body rose to it's full height, with
head thrown back and his face trans
figured with the fire and earnestness of
his thought. he would answer Douglas in
the high, clear tenor that came to him
in the heat of debate, carrying his ideas
so far out over listening crowds.
1t has been the fashion, too. to say
that he was slovenly and ca,eless in his
dress. This also is mistake. His clothes
could not fit smoothly on his gsunt and
bony frame. He was no taiior's figure OF
n man. hut from the first he clothed him.
self as well as his means allowed and in
the fashion of the Time and place.
In the same way lie cared little for the
pleasures of the table He ate most
sparingly He was thankful that food
was good and wholesome and enough for
daily needs. but he could no more enter
into the mood of the epicure for whose
nalate 1t is matter of Importance

pheasant than he could have counted the
grains of sand under the sea.

University Attendance.

Alabama faculty, was in Birmingham last
evening. He believes that the attendance
next session will be the largest in the
history of the institution. He states that
a campaign for students is meeting with
much success. and that the reports that
come to his ears are most tiattering.
"The work of the alumni association"
said he, will do a world of good The
active workers in the association are
among the younger alumni, and 1t is the
younger element that can do the most
effective work. have seldom seen the
alumni over the state show more enthus-
iasm than at present. The enrolment of
students this season will be unusually
large. You may count on this"

he may be able to secure a control
of the democratic convention. Seven
upstate counties have already acted,
and Hearst delegates were selected in
each one of them A tidal wave seems
to be sweeping him on to victory.
He will maintain the independence
League that he caused TO be organized,
and the league will meet and place him
in nomination. and as its candidate he
will gather in socialists and malcon-
tents of all sorts including many repub-
licans, who do not like trusts and trust
magnates. The municipal ownership
leagues are also supporting him. 1t is
best, therefore, to assume that Hearst
will become the nominee, despite the
attempt to put Judge Gaynor in the
race, and Mayor McGlenan's determi-
nation to bring to the front William
Travers Jerome.
Once nominated by the democrats
Mr.. Hearst would almost to a certainty
sweep the state. He might despite Mr..
Roosevelt's immense majority in 1904,
carry the state by 100000 votes. What
then? VIII he be content to wait until
1912? A man who carries New York
in his pocket is a national factor, and
he is certainly in a position to make
fight for the Presidency In 1908.
What he will do is the chief political
puzzle of the day No one knows.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
A girl learns to love swimming very
early when she has a good figure.
A woman certainly looks funny when
she has been sunburned through open
work.
The bigger hurry a man is in to get
married. the longer he will have TO figure
out why.
Girls have such finicky notions most of
them would like to marry a husband to
match their complexion.
A married man gets lots more fun on
fishing party than other kinds because the
family never wants to 60 along.

fishing certain mineral industries
The interest of Russian Jews in Pal
estine is now at a high pitch. From all
reports it appears that Russian Jews
who have escaped from Russia with
their capital are thinking especially Of
going to Palestine. 1t is known that
there are many Jewish capitalists now
in Germany with all their capital at the
present time in German banks, who are
looking about for opportunities to invest
their funds in Palestine industries; and
as soon as they receive favorable reports
from their agents, it is entirely probable
that they and their families will go to
Palestine, and will endeavor to establish
themselves on commercial basis, thus
giving employment to hundreds of la
borers and assisting in the restoration of
the Holy Land.

''The Simon Guggenheim hall there
fore is not merely dedicated to expert
proficiency in a profession; it is also
consecrated to character. And, indeed,
no profession is more eXacting and in
sistent in it's constant demands for
high standard of character than that Of
the mining engineer. Peculiar and subtle
temptations are his for he is the reposit-
tory of the implicit trustfulness of the
tenderfoot.
1T goes without saying that the de-
sire to possess a surplus of this world s
goods SO that those dependent upon us
may be fully provided for is perfectly
natural ambition. We canont live on the
monotonous plane of immediate neces-
sity. The proverbial rainy day comes
to most of us. If people had never taken
thought of the morrow they would prob
ably be tramps to-day and perhaps
starve to death the day after.
cit is the surplus over our animal
needs that has inspired educational and
philanthropic institutions, that has
mothered the arts, fostered the sciences
and built the witnesses of human prog
ress. 1t has put into operation those
contrivances Of trade and travel which
have banished time and annihilated
space. It has introduced the child of the
Arctic to his brother of the torrid zone.
1t has irrigated our arid wastes and has
transformed the Great American Desert
into a smiling paradise. 1t has made Of
our mountain Businesses great safe de-
posit vaults and has turned over the
keys to enterprise and ability. The sur
plus of goods, has, without doubt, en-
riched humanity.
''But there is reverse side to the
medal: The obsequious reverence paid
to the merely rich, and their consequent
inflated self esteem, the feverish greed
to get rich quick, the frantic scramble
for sudden spoil, the insane worship OF
wealth at any cost, are sapping our moral
vigor and stunting out spiritual growth.
1t is true that mining offers large re-
turns on legitimate investment, but 1t IS
also true that no field holds out more
dazzling prospects Of gratifying human
greed.
Great Temptations That
Assai Mining Engineers
I'm none is it easier to shear the
lambs and send them out bleating into
the cold And for the very reason that
the mining engineer is exposed to
greater temptations, it is imperative
that he nurture that moral power which
will strengthen him to resist. A rich
vein Of gold must run in the character
