TO REPUBLICANS:

We are anxious to have every
Republican in close touch, and work
ing in harmony with the Republican
National Congressional Committee in
favor of the election of a Republican
Congress.
The Congressional campaign must
be based on the administrative and
legislative record of the party. and,
that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's
personality must be a central figure
and his achievements a central
thought in the campaign.
We desire to maintain the work of
this campaign with popular subscrip-
tons of One Dolla. each from Repub-
licans. To each subscriber we will
send the Republican National Cam.
paign Text Book and all documents
issued by the Committee.
Help US achieve a great victory.

Not IN Inpostor.

A proud young father telegraphed
the news of his new responsibility to
his brother in this fashion: "A hand
some boy has come to my house and

failed to see the point and replied: Il

Shadeless Forests.

Large tracts of dense forests In Aus
tralia are practically shade!ess. Many
kinds Of trees In that strange country
turn their edges instead Of the fiat sur
face of the leaves to the sun, and thus
one may stand under tree Of enor-
nous size and be as fully exposed to
the sun as though he were in the open
plain. Travel through these forests
is said to be exceedingly arduOus work,
as the trees, while they do not cut OF
the sun, prevent the breeze from
reaching the ground, and thus the trav-
eler experiences Sitting heat.

THURSDAY MORNING.
yermont's Verdict,

Vermont fires the first gun in this
years campaign. To be sure, Arkansas
had an election q few days earlier, but
the widest of pipe dreams never pre-.
sented vision of anything but one kind
of result in Arkansas. In Vermont it is
different. Two years ago the Republi-
can plurality on the governor vote was
only S,66S, and loud claims of electing
Clement, the fusion Democratic and in
dependent candidate, were made in this
years campaign. The result proves to be
a majority of 1876 for Proctor, the Re-
publican candidate, the vote showing
Republican gain over 1904 of over 10, 900,
while the fusion loss il about 1900. The
campaign has been an exciting one.

What difference will it make whether
or not denatured alcohol can be manu-

buying up the principal distilleries in

Another popularity of the affair is
that the loser of the fight took about
twice the amount of gate receipts that
went to the winner. 1t may be well to
explain that that is not the rule in such

guarantee given the man who lost before
the fight came off.

Gradually people-some people-sre
getting over the idea that President
Roosevelt thinks he controls the English
language. Because he approved the
simplified spelling of list of words. and
ordered them so used in official docu-
ments, he has been lampooned and
abused, and hailed as Ear" and an
''ortocrat." In fact, il is to some the
chiefest of his offences in the line of
"butting in" But the president simply
says that if the people don't want that
method of spelling they won't have it,
and that's all there is to it. Nothing
very tyrannical about that.
