AS the spring advances, bicy.
cles become more numerous.
There are apparently more in
use this spring than for several
years. Bicycles are all right
and are practically indispensable
after one has become accustomed
to their use. In the opinion of
The True Northerner, however,
their promiscuous use on the
sidewalks on Main street should
be prohibited. We do not be-

IT was very kind of Bro. Reid
to forgive his Van Buren, county
newspaper brethren for telling
the truth about him during the
recent campaign for primary re-
form, whether expressed editori-
ally or by communication. Such
magnanimity toward 'inconse-
quential enemies deserves re.
ward. However, we have not no.
ticed that any of these "inconse-
quential enemies" have had to
borrow money for current eX-
penses, and their receipts under
the new order of things ought to
help them realize little profit.

TAFT'S nomination for the
presidency on the republican
ticket at Chicago, June 10, is
now practically conceded. Every
state convention held adds to his
strength. Roosevelt would have
been the unanimous choice of a
large percentage of the repub-
licans of the L. S. He has said
mo however, and that means
from him just what the word i'm
plies. Taft is without doubt the
strongest man, outside of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, in the republican
party today. He is in full accord
with the progressive policies Of
the president and will without
doubt be triumphantly nominated
and elected. There have been
to date $40 delegates elected.

content to have 1t so. The brass-but-

very bad example by eating of Aunt
Hannah's cooking instead OF the col
ored chef's) passed his official cap and
gathered in shining shower Of sill

\ The old lady from Iowa and the

over Aunt Hannah's plush covered pho

streaming brow and shouted "All

Aunt Hannah, looking and feeling
twenty years younger, stood on the
porch and watched the long train as it
got into motion and slowly pulled out

could scarcely see them for the tears
which dimmed her kind eyes.
