kind at Takoma. and he insisted that he

 Every time We sell a man a Hart. Schaffner and Marx Suit we make profit and a friend: he gets bigger profit and cause for thanksgiving that will last great deal longer than the best dinner he'll ever have.
 If you buy clothes you're foolish to accept anything less when you can get Hart. Schaffner and Marx clothes: all wool. perfect tailoring, correct style; and fit guaranteed.

ing it was quite dark. The work on the dam was in active progress and from the high road several hundred feet above the scene of operations, the brilliantly lighted canyon was a beau-
 tiful sight. After supper MT. Brown and the writer walked down into the
 pit. as it is called. where rock is now. being laid on the dam proper Good
 progress is being made and the dam has not reached stage where high water will not do a great deal of harm further than retard work for the tim bering. Taking advantage of the pres ent conditions the contractor is push ing work night and day. Rock is talk en from the quarries during the night and placed in conveient locations where the worlImen on the day shift can make the best use of it. The night workmen were a sociable lot and kind ly offered to allow Mir. Brown and the writer to takes view of operation from the cable across the canyon. This cable is four hundred and fifty feet high. It was too good an opportunity to be missed and on one of the empty skips on which rock is let down from the quarry. the ascent was made. Four hundred and fifty feet does not sound like a great height and to those ac- customed to making such ascents sev- eral time q day. 1t is matter that is never given second thought. To those who have never been that high before, however. it is entirely differ ent matter. A sensation is felt while swinging and swaying that distance in the air with nothing between one and eternity but few pieces of iron form ing a small platform about ten feet square, that is not acquired any other way and it lasts long enough for one to carry a vivid remembrance of it for some time afterwards. The big arc lights in the pit look like small candles way down below and the touch of solid ground to the foot again is a mighty pleasant feeling. No objec- tion is offered to strangers ar those not connected with the work riding up on these skips, but it is always distinctly understood that for any accidents that might happen the contractor is in no way held responsible.

GOSSIP FROM GOTHAM CONCERNING POLITICS
The Standing of Various Eminent Pol iticians in the Race For Presidential Nominations.

New York, Nov. 24.-(Special Cor respondence of The Republican.)- Speculation as to the men who will lead the democratic and republican hosts in the fight for the presidency at next years election is beginning to assume very lively proportions. but from all appearances the solution of the problem Is a long way off, as among the leaders of both parties there seems to be a wide difference of opinion as to which of the numer- ous candidates spoken of would be most likely to prove winner It is becoming more and more apparent. on account of the unsettled business con- ditions throughout the country. which are not only being reflected in a null titude> of bank failures and receiver ships. but also in the shutting down of numerous manufacturing and simi- lar enterprises. with the consequent throwing out of employment of thous- ands of wage earners, that the demo- cratic party stands a much better chance of victory than if the period of prosperity which has been enjoyed
  longed. The trouble. however. seems to lie in the selection of candidate who will be sufficiently radical to meet the views of those unalterably opposed to the policies of the pres ent administration, and at the same time have enough of the element of in his makeup to inspire the confidence and support of the vast business interests of the country.
 Despite the many efforts that are being made to shelve William Jennings Bryan. the Nebraskan is making a bitter and determined fight for the presidential nomination, and thus far he seems to have all, or practically all of his opponents beaten to standstill. That he has no intention of stepping aside for someone else is am ply demonstrated by his positive state ment that he will be a candidate if his party asks him." and judging from present indications his party will

Coming back, however. the first steep grade out of Roosevelt. the worst on the road. was INIie 100 much for them, they were cold and part of that hill had to be walked. At Fish Greek on the long grade there a fine start was made but half a dozen freight teams in a bunch called halt and the grade was so great that it was impossible to get q start again. It took an even hour to make that hill that the day before had been covered in ten minutes and that with the brake set tign,.
 A trip to Roosevelt by any mode of conveyance is a delightful outing. but by motor cycle it is made doubly so. There is a peculiar fascination about riding a motor and on q road like that between here and the dam it is intensi- fled. One reason of it is that there is always. to one not familiar with each turn of the road. something of spec Tlation as to what may happen next. The ride when one is making any time at all is not without its thrilling mo- ments. It is highly exciting to be coasting down steep grade at any where from ten to thirty miles an hour and be suddenly confronted with a turn that is entirely too sharp to be taken by the machine even at low rate of speed. One thinks quick and like as not gets off the machine a good deal quicker. trusting more to the results of hard fall than to going over the edge a hundred feet or so.
 It gets dark early these winter days and reaching the dam site a few min- utes before 6 o'clock Wednesday even

AGAINST COLLEGE cLIoUes.
Movement in Big Universities for
 More Democratic Conditions.

With the opening of the colleges come further exposition and discus- sion of President Woodrow Wilson's plan for splitting Princeton university up into squads. wherein the birds not of feather shall flock together 10 the improvement of Princeton's family life In nearly all the big eastern univer- sities there is q yearning. such as has taken, shape in Dr. Wilson's scheme, to bring about more democratic frater- nization of the students. and to cor rect their natural propensity to group according lmore or less) to the size of their allowances and the way they were brought up. The least imprac- ticable way to accomplish this Uptop- ian end has been thought tO be this way which Dr. Wilson is bent on try ing.
 In the current number of Harvard Graduates Magazine, Prof. Beale ad- vocates an analogous plan for Har- vatd. But Harvard would rather watth Princeton split herself up than make any such experiment herself. Indeed. all the colleges will watch with lively interest anything that may be done at Princeton to realize Dr. Will sons plan. But it seems very specu- lative still whether anything will be done. To carry out the scheme would cost about s2.000.00O. Dr. Wilson thinks he can find some one who will give the money. but. even so. it is still to be seen whether he can get the backing of the great body of the Princeton alumni for the plan. Dr. Henry Van Dyke. an influential grad nate and an exceedingly popular mem her of pr. Wilson's faculty. thinks the new plan un-American. and dangerous and argues vigorously against it.
