The get-rich-quick idea will not

risk their savings on a basis that
necessarily and notoriously implies
risks, and as long as they are will
ing so to do reckless men will bid
for the use of their money and offer
tempting bats for it. If all goes
well, the scheme works, but it is in
trinsically a gamble. Then when
the contrary tide sets in people
scramble for their money, and if
lucky enough to get it they lock it
up in safety deposit boxes or tea
pots or old stockings, to the ever
lasting detriment of the reputable

people could understand the prefer

TAFT A VERITABLt MAGICIAN.
Congressman G. J. DieIcema, Chairman
Michigan Republican Committee,
Declares for Taft.

Speaking in Washington, Congress
man G. ]. Dielcema. state chairman of
the Michigan state committee, gave
out the following interview:
81 am for Taft, and you can put it
as strong as you want to. My belief
is that the people of Michigan are for
the big war secretary, and that all Of
their strength will go towards his
nomination. My judgment is that the
presidents reiteration of his election
night statement will give the Taft
candidacy great impetus.
"Mr. Taft represents the twentieth
century wing of the Republican party
in contrast with the other wing. He
stands for modern thought in the
party. He combines in a peculiar way
the best qualities of Roosevelt and Nc
Kinley. He stands steadfast for the
Roosevelt doctrines, and upon him
the president has leaned more than
upon any other of his advisers.
He is quite as determined as Pres.
ident Roosevelt, and | am convinced
that he would not be swerved from
the policies which he is known to
have espoused And yet his methods
are different. Our president forces
his way through opposition; before
Taft opposition melts away.
at is difficult to account for his
success in smoothing out knotty situa-
tions. With an incipient insurrection
threatening in Cuba. the secretary
spent few days on the island, talked
in his tactful but convincing way, and
when he went away peace and order
were assured.
Taft seems to be veritable magi.
clan.
That new parliament in the Phil
ippines was bent on mischief. Signs
of disturbance were evident enough
but he talked with the malcontents
he urged with the leaders, he stated
his determination with perfect clear
ness, and the Filipinos became good.
He spent a few days in Japan, and
shortly after he went away Japan's
secretary Of war came out with the
assertion that war between Japan and
the United States was out of the ques-
tion.
"Yes, | believe Taft is a magician,
and it looks to me as though the Re-
publican party needs Just that sort Of
magician as its nominee for the pres
| idency.
Then Taft is the only international
figure among the candidates for the
Republican nomination. That is decid-
edly in his favor His election would
mean something to the world powers.
It should be remembered that Col.
onel Bryan, the probable Democratic
nominee, is an international figure"

had announced that none of the chorus

penalty of a FIVE dollar fine. He was
nervously pacing the cobblestOnes in
front of the entrance every minute to
make certain that the rule would not

WHAT HE WANTED,

Even friends OF Senator Foraker
will find difficulty in understanding
why he now objects. to primary elec-
ton, when only few weeks ago he
said he wanted primary and would
be satisfied with the result. The Off
cial call of the state committee to or
binary persons seems fair and under
it a primary would enable Republican
voters to indicate quite clearly their
will. 1t seems possible the senator
did not see the draft of the call and
based his refusal to lie bound by it on
the garbled report furnished by the
telegraph. His friends will be glad II

season had opened, and she found
herself as far as ever from her goal.
She had cOmfOrted herself with the

Ben Streator had begged her to give
up the idea Of acting and marry him
she had made a chilling reply and
neat allusion to what she owed to her.
self and to her art.
1t seemed rather different now. Be-
ing new, she had not learned the ropes
and had applied literally the rule that
no relatives might see her off There
had been no hand clasp at parting,
and she had not even seen Ben.
Her fastidious taste revOlted at the
idea of spending the night in mar
bedfellow, but there was no hope for
it, and she entered the car.
The special car was excessively hot
and without sufficient ventilation. The
aisles were packed with girls in va
riOus stages of undreSs and noisy with
their chatter. The car was entirely
occupied by women, and the berth cur
tains were regarded as superhuous.
The stateroom door was partly open,
showing three of the principals playing
cards. The musty Odor of Egyptian
cigarettes came through the door and
gradually mastered the other scents in
the car.
Two girls sat swinging their feet
over the edge of upper 6, but the
half Of the lower berth was occupied
by girl who lay with her face to
the window, her frail shoulders shaken
by sobs.
"You draw lower 81" grinned one
of the occupants of the upper berth.

sick already. If she keeps up the

that the gibes were adding to their

Beatrice sought to comfort the girl.

Editor Journal:-I observe in
last weeks edition of your ex-
cellent paper, under the caption
Local Option, an article sign
ed, A: A. Roland, in which the
writer suggests two things that
may be very misleading.
First, in regard to the High
License Law" which I take to
refer to the Aiken law raising the
tax on saloons to $1,000. The Sc
curing of this law is credited by
Mr.. Roland to the Anti-Saloon
League. It is fair to say that the
League is not, and never has
been, in favor of high license, or
tax. The League believes that
mo Saloon" is the only solution
of the saloon question, and is
therefore opposed to the saloon
under high license, low license,
or no license.
Secondly, with reference to
what the writer calls "The per-
petration knowingly of a wrong
under cover of equity" Mr..
Roland claims that if we vote the
saloonist out of business we
ought to pay him for his prop
erty. He seems to have forgot
ten that the saloon is in the land
not by right, but by liberation,
and that the man who embarks
in the saloon business does so at
the risk of having his privilege
revoked at any time. Many men
take risks in business, and do we
think of making good their losses
when it turns out that the bus
mess is no longer lucrative? Let
us apply Mr.. Roland's argument
to a case or two of ordinary oc-
currence. The writer has a num-
ber of school books which were
purchased in accordance with
law. He did not elect to buy
those books, but was compelled
to do so in order to have the ben
eft of the schools. In a few
months the law was changed and
a new set Of books had to be pur-
chased. Now, will Mr.. Roland
have the books appraised and
paid for by taxation? Many peo-
pie in the South purchased slaves
under protection of the Govern
ment. They were notified that
there was a strong sentiment a.
gainst the business, and that
courts were declaring it to be il
legal. They elected to continue
to trade in slaves until one day
the law changed and the mig.
Gers'' were made free. Does
