President Roosevelt has once more
made the statement which he made on
the night of his election, that he would
not be candidate nor accept renomi-

that he uttered that remark, entertain
ed the idea that he personally desired
or expected to serve another term. A
great many people do desire that be
serve another term and complete the
work he has started. If the Chicago
convention nominates Roosevelt, be
will doubtless obey the party call. The
next few weeks will probably shape
things to such an extent as to reason
ably foretell whether it will be Roose-
Welt or not The west and the south
are unanimous for him, the east is not
so enthusiastic. This is not surprising,
as tho homes of the interests" are in
the east and few of them have very
much in common with the policies of
our president.

1t is remarkable with what ability
some of our country exchanges write

That the annual report of the money

Office, which will be issued on January
/. 1908, will show the astonishing in-
crease of $3,O0O.OOO, in round num-
bers. over the report issued on January
1, 1907, is the belief of John w. Min
to. Part of this will b0 the regular
and natural increase in business, due
to prosperous conditions and increase
in population, but the greater part will
be the result of the policy which, dur
ing the present banking troubles, has
been pursued by great many people
that of withdrawing all of the money
that they possibly could from the banks
aud boarding it with the postoffice in
the form of a money order.

Reports say that somebody, nosing
about among musty records of ancient
legislatures, unearthed legislative
gem of purest ray serene-nothing less
than primitive law enacted for the
especial benefit of women who have
been divorced from unfaithful hus-
bands. This ancient law, it appears,
gives the divorced wife of faithless
husband every dollar of money and
property he has. The law has been
buried long enough perhaps to be con-
sidered asdead one.

representation upon allowing two del

The extensive practice of race sui

ministers of Boston it was voted to lay
Oh the table resolution requesting

Would this have happened in

This is what people in country villages

lated, by the children's tones and the
song of birds; to feel that you are a

natures heart. and realize that you
are part thereof; that you have kin

they will not make any reductions
whatever to any of the political con-
ventions, there may not be such grand
rush for honors this year. 1t is stated
that the reason for this decision on the

claus a slight rebuke for the permit
ting of the growth Of public opinion
towards two-cent fare legislation.
