To Open Campaign in West

Chairman Frank H. Hitchcock
of the republican national commit
tee, will open the campaign of 1908
in the Far West. Practically the
the first movement in the campaign
for the election of William H. Taft
and James S. Sherman, respective
ly to the presidency and vice-presi-
dency, will be made at Colorado
Springs, Colo, next Monday and
Tuesday, July 20 and p. At that
time, in the Antlera Hotel, at Col
orado Springs, Chairman Hitch
cock will hold a conference with
the republican leaders of all the
states and territories west of the
Missouri river. Represented at the
conference will be North Dakota,
South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas,
Oklahoma, Montana, Texas, Wy
oming, Colorado, New Mexico,
Idaho, Arizona, Nevada, Washing
ton, Oregon and California. The
republican chairman and the repub-
lican national committeeman of
these states and territories have
been invited by Chairman Hitch
cock to attend the conference and
all of them have notified him of
of their intention to be present.
It is the purpose of Mr.. Hitch
cock, in the bringing thus together
of the republican leaders of the
west, to consider plans for the
campaign in that territory. 1t is
his desire that the leaders should
become acquainted with one anoth-
er; that each should feel that he
has a part to perform not only in
the conduct of the campaign, but
in the formulation of plans for it;
and that there should be cn-opera-
tive effort among all of them to
bring about a general result.
AT the Colorado Springs confer
ence careful plans will be mapped
out for the campaign in the west;
methods will be discussed and
speakers for the various states ar
ranged for so far as possible.
In the near future similar con-
ferences will be held by Chairman
Hitchcock with republican leaders
in the middle west and in the east.
The place of the middle west
will be Chicago, and it
probably will be held about ten
days after the Colorado Springs
Some time subse-
conference of the eastern
leaders will be held in New York
City.

Some Evening Reveries.

not bear burdens in his childhood
If the fondness or vanity of fathe
or mother has kept him from har,
work; if another always helped hin
out at the end of his row; if in
: stead Of taking his turn at pitching
off he slowed away all the time-i1
short, if what was light always fel
to him, and what was heavy about
the same work to some one else, il
he has been permitted to shirk, un
til Sinking has become a habit, un.
less miracle has been wrought his
ffre wifi be u failure, anu the blame
will not be half so much his as that
of his weak and foolish parents. On
the other hand, if boy has been
brought up to do his part, never to
shirk his responsibility, or to dodge
his work whether or not it made
his head ache, or soiled his hands
until bearing burdens has become a
matter of pride, the heavy end of
the log his choice, parents as they
bid him goodby may dismiss their
fear. The elements of success are
his, and some time -i4-~e.aa.,,,ra1- Y
the world will recognize his capac-
ity.
Never suspect a friend of doing
you wrong until the proof of it is
as plain and as clear as the sun at
noon on a cloudless day, and then,
yes, even then do not accuse or
censure until you have heard from
his own lips his version of the sup
posed wrong. If you were ever a
friend to him he is certainly entitl-
ed to that much forbearance and
consideration. If this rule was
practised, many misunderstand-
ing would be averted, and many
heartache spared.
y
Young women have the same
longing to get away from their
native towns and live among new
scenes and changed surroundings,
that boys are possessed of. They
feel the weight Of local environ
ments, and one frequently hears
the remark, I wish I were a boy,
then | could have some freedom.
This marks critical period of a
yound lady's life. She needs more
than ever before. wise and loving
counsel, and the sympathetic COM
panionship of true friend; and
there is no friend like a mother in
unselfsh, untiring devotion. Girls,
tell your mothers Of your hopes and
ambitions, and you are quite GER
tain to receive advice which you
can accept with profit, and which
will do you good.
=
So far as possible, let all women
dress beautifully; so God dresses
the meadows and mountains. Let
them wear pearls and diamonds, if
they can afford it. God; hung
around the neck of his world
strings of diamonds, and braided
the back locks of the storm with
the bright ribbons of the rainbow.
Especially before and right after
breakfast, ere they expect to be
seen of the world, let them look
neat and attractive for the family's
sake. One of the most hideous
sights is slovenly women at the
breakfast table.
