ROOSEVELT DID IT

Before the beginning of the present congressional campaign in the states the Daily Alaskan predicted that fl the republicans followed the leadership Of President Roosevelt closely enough they would win, but that if they turned him down in too many places, accepting tb. leadership of the old machines, they would lose. The election returns justify the prediction. While ROoSe- vslt,s leadership was accepted reluct- antly in places and while in other places the president stretched several points iu sAking dlscredited machines under his mantle, before the balloting began every republican stump orator from Maine to Californis was proclaiming Roossyelt to be lhe undisputed leader of the republican party. That proved sufficient to hold the independent re- publicaus iu line. The trusts and monied interests supported the repuoi- can ticket, not for love of Roosevelt but because Bryan's speeches and the nomination of Hearst iu New York and Moran in Massachusetts dispelled the las, hope that the democVatic party will ever be conservative. With them it was s choice of evils and they chose the less menscing evil.
 There is no doubt but that President Roosevelt saved the day for the repub- Iicsn machine in PenOsylvanis, When she democrats endorsed the Lincoln re- publican nominee for governor and the disclosures of boodling in the capital construction were made 1t was evident that the day was lost. It was only when several cabinet officers were sent into the state to beg for support for the regular ticket that sufficient number of the republicans were brought into line to save the day,
 The conditions ip Ohio, were similar to those in Pennsy There the Roosevelt faction was turned down in tbs state convention and the leadership of Foraker acknowledged, During the first part of the campaign Foraker did no, hesitate to show his teeth toward the president whenever possible. He said that he was no more bound to fol- low Roosevelt when he was wrong ln matters of governmental policy than he WAS bound to misspell words because the president misspelled them. But the president overlooked the attitude of the party in the state, and Taft was sent there to speak for the machine Dssertions stopped, and republicans re- turned to the fold.
 These instances illustrate the magic of Roosevelt's name. Where he lead che neonle were willing 10 follow. They would accept Penrose and Pennypacker and Foraker and Dick if the president accepted them.
 The lesson is obvious. If the leader ship of President Roosevelt shall con ,iuue the republicans will, in all prob ability, carry the next presidential election. However, there should be DO hesitation in accepting Roosevelt's principles and policies as well as his personality and his support. There should be DO more Pennsylvania anu Ohio situations put up to him. He should not be required to save the day for too many machines. The leadership must be acknowledge with good grace everywhere, and it must be one in fact as well ss name, to make success sure.

MAMMOTH INCUBATOR.

divide ii into 100 compartments, each
accommodating two trays. The trays

work of 1000 fowls. or has the capa-
city of one hen sitting constantly for
nearly ten years.
The incubator is heated by means
of coil of eight steam pipes passing
over the top OF the egg chamber on

tank is filled with oil, in which is a

Official Feminine Calls.

In the social life of the national cap

aware of the many unwritten laws that
govern the exchange of calls between
women whose husbands or fathers oc-
cupy prominent positions at Washing

prescribes that the wife of a newly
elected Senator or Representative
must make the first call upon the wives
of all those Congressman who are her
husbands seniors in service. Miss

with these same unwritten laws. is not
compelled to make a first CALI upon
any ladies in Washington, save the
wife of the President and the wife OF
