If you cannut play the game then
be rousing rooter,' said Rev. h.
C. Rehm at the Congregational church
Sunday evening. ttBe sure that you
are not the fellow who shouts go,
rottenl" when one of his team hap
pens to make a fuke. The game is
won mainly by the courage and CON-
fidence that will see every vantage
and this can be best inspired by the
gang on the siue lines. There is nU
tonic like sympathy. We need it most
of couse, when we are being forced
down the field. 1t is no credit to
shout for a winning team. But cheer,
cheer till you are blue in the face
when everything is guing dead wrong.
Then watch the team brace up.
Every mother is a kind of rooter.
She will stand by her boy no matter
what kind of play he max es. Per-
haps after half is over she'll give
him a few pointers-hot ones-but
then she will be on the side lines
again with the biggest megaphone.
Many young man has passed through
the severest trials sustained only by
a mothers sympathy.
True friendship is not silenced. The
best friends are those who see you
through your trouble shouts-for you
and when it is all over give you a
rub down.
The world needs players-workers
but it needs rooters even more. And
this is the divinely ordained office of
woman to warm the world with sym.
pathy. Besides we cannot all be stars,
lead ers, geniuses. But we can help
them to success. Let US root fol-
every religious cause; it is sure to
triumph then.

WHICH SHALL IT BE?

Already friends of various men
are presenting the names OF their
favorite for the republican presidential
nomination and judging from the pre-
valent sentiment throughout the coun-
try President Roosevelt can have the
nomination If he will accept it and
he would practically have no opposition
at the polls next November, being
fully as popular with democrats as
with republicans, especially IN the
south.
Next to Roosevelt comes Taft of
Ohiu, who is regarded as the pres'-
dents choice az his successor as chief
executive of the nation. He is a
strong man and has many elements of
strength and will have Formidable
following in the national CONT ention
and may possibly secure tie nomln-
alton. Then comes Governor Hughes
of New York, while not seeking the
nomination is receptive. He is a
safe man Independent and trustworthy.
Fairbanks of Indiana is man of many
fine qualities, put loo far removed
from tie people and not calculated t.
arouse any enthusiasm curing the
campaign and his nomination might
invite defeat. Root of New York, is
a brilliant man of great intellectual
wotrh, who would make an ideal presi-
dent and last but not the least by any
means is Robert M. LaFollette OF
this state who has overcome many
obstacles that have blocked his way to
official prominence and conditions and
circumstances may open the way tnr
his transfer from the senate to the
White House. No man doubts his
ability and his energy knows no limit.
These are perilous POLITICAL times
however, and it behooves the party to
be careful in selecting a standard
bearer and at this time, it looks as il
Theodore Roosevelt was the man upon
whom all could unite The people ir-
respective of party affiliations have
confidence in his ability, honor, ente,
gritty and deserve to be the servant
of all the people and give all "square
deal.

Error of Statement.

Many of the county papers publish
ed erroneous reports regarding the
action against Frank Schmeling of
the town of Oak Grove, giving the
impression that Mr.. Schmeiing had
watered his milk. The action against
Mr.. ochmeling was not for selling
milk adulterated with water, but for
using an unclean strainer, it being
alleged that settings" were found
in the bottom of his milk can at the
factory. In justice to Mr.. Schmeling
it must be said that the charge
against him can in no way be associat-
ed with the charge of selling adulter-
ated milk with intent to defraud, and
the proceedings cannot and should not
reflect in any manner upon his honesty
and integrity. Juneau Independent.

THOUGHTS BY THE WAY

Congressman Burton when he had a
good thing ought to have hung onto it
and not given Tom Johnson the plea
sure of throwing him down.
Taft is pleased with the results of
the recent elections, Alphonso Is easily
pleased-and Joe Foraker now smokers
when he thinks how it all happened.
President Roosevelt is gong after
the paper trust and it is to be hoped
that he will go farther and in his an
nual message to Congress recommend
placing paper, pulp and pulp wood on
the free list and throw the RESPONSE
billy on Congress.
Judge.Olin well known in the United
States court at Los Angeles, fined
the Santa Fe Railroad company on
the 7th INST, $500, for rebating.
The fine will no doubt be paid when
the Standard Oil Co. pays the fine
assessed against it by Judge Lands.
Il is easy to fine, but mighty hard to
collect.
Senator Ike Stephenson insists that
he has not sold his interest in the
Milwaukee Free Press. He may have
given 1t away to a political enemy
whom he wishes to punish. Nothing
like being generous.
The cause of the monetory sdistur-
bance is the inflated legislation of
the past few years and the fight
against conditions made possible by
such legislation. The men who have
watched the signs of the times, have
anticipated 1t and advocated sane
legislation and sane business methods.
The attacks of the reformers has
been at the wrong end.

VIM. Haefm eisrer of routeNo. 2,

ut The Leader office and offered OBJ
lection to the statement made in the
write-up of the fire at the Haef-
melster farm last Sunday morning.
when their large barn, together with
stock, grain, buggies and machinery
was destroyed. The statement was
made that the theory was advanced
that the hre might have been started
by carelessly dropping a match or
cigar stub. Mr.. Haefmeister states
that when the boys returned to the
farm in the morning few hours be-
fore the fire. they lit no matches,
were not smoking or had no lantern,
So that there was absolutely no care
Iesness on their part. The Leader
did not attempt to cast any reflection
or do the young men any injustice,
only advancing plausible theory
which had been mentioned.

1t is gratifying to know that the

nave seen tit TO again open the public
night school at the auditorium of the
High school building. which was de-
cided upon at the meeting of the board
on Wednesday evening. The night
school proved a grand success and
many of the young people of the city
took advantage of the opportunity to
add to their store of knowledge by
attending and the average attendance
was very good throughout-even a
surprise to some of the members of
the board of education. The night
school will begin Fridy evening,
November Is, and will be i'm session
every Monday and Thursday evening
throughout the winter. This is an
excellent opportunity for the young
ladies and gentlemen of the city who
find 1T impossible to attend the day
schools because of the fact that they
are obliged to gain livelihood by
working in factories or stores. These
young people should not hesitate in
taking advantage of this opportunity
to gain knowledge. There Is no cost
attached. Students entering are re-
quired to pay nominal sum to cover
the cost of the books, the amount
being returned to them when the
books are returned at the close of
the season. superintendent W. P.
