I aft's Speech in Brief.

Strength in Republican cause
is in the fact that we represent
policies essential to reform of
known abuses.
That the chief function of the
next administration will be to
clinch what has been done and
to complete the machinery by
which more reforms may be af-
fected.
That railroad traffic agree
ments approved by the Inter
State Commerce Commission
should be valid and that physi-
cal valuation of the railroads
property is necessary. -
Supports a national incorpora-
ton act.
Unlawful trusts should be re-
strained and their owners GRIM
inally prosecuted.
Tariff revision should be taken
up at once.
Labor can strike but must not
injure employers property.
Proposal to inject jury trial
between all orders of the court
on insiduous attack on the judi
cial system.
The inadequacy of our present
currency system is generally rec
ognized. Recent currency legis-
lation is admittedly temporary.
Postal Savings Banks not I'M
tried experiment and has many
advantages.
Expenses Of the federal gov
ernment in the Philippines do
not now exceed Sc, 100000 per
year.
Problem of Asiatic immigra-
ton should be left to diplomatic
negotiation.
Recommends national health
bureau.
Favors election of United
States Senators by people but
does not believe it to be a party
question.
Has no hope for income tax.

That there will be strife in
every campaign between politi-
cal leaders real and pretended
is as natural as that there should
be rivalry between political par
ties. The only thing that counts,
however, is the vote at the polls,
and that comes from the people,
the citizens who make this coun-
try; who support it and perpetu-
ate it, and to whom political
leaders are no more than straws.
1t is good thing that the people

termination to make a fight in
this region that will be earnest
and effective, and not to neglect
it's interests for those of the
states further east.
With the exception of Missouri,
Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas,
every state west of the river
should go Republican at the
coming election. There is no
reason why Bryan should carry
any state that he failed to carry
in 1900, and there are very good
reasons why he should fail to
carry several that he did carry
then. Our own state is an ex-
ample. Conditions have changed
so in eight years in Colorado that
any one who was here then, and
had been away in the meantime,
would hardly recognize it for the
same state. In these eight years
there has been practically po-
litical revolution; and something
like it has taken place in the
other Rocky Mountain mining
states.
The westeners who attended
the conference at Colorado
Springs went home with new
enthusiasm, a new sense of rec
ognition, a new idea of their re-
sponsibility for Republican vic
tory next fall. The ''steam
roller man" has emphatically
proclaimed by his action that
they, and they first of all the
states in the Union, are an I'M
portant part of the machine that
is to fiatten out the Democrats
in November. Press Bureau.

The Western
Campaign.

The new chairman of the Re-
publican national committee, Mr..
Frank H. Hitchcock, has paid
the West a unique compliment
in assembling together the state
chairmen and national commit
teemen from the states west of
the river and taking counsel
with them as to the methods to
be pursued in the coming cam
paign. 1t was rumored at first
that it was in contemplation to
establish a far western head
quarters, with a separate admin
istration, but that idea was
chimerical and had no real foun-
dation. The conduct of the cam
paign must be from some central
headquarters, and it is better for
the national chairman to keep in
touch with the chairmen of all
the states directly, and not
through the medium of a vice
chairman or assistant. But the
gathering shows that the new
national chairman appreciates
the Importance of the western
country to the party, and his de-

European papers remark that

the Republicans were first in the

party that is stealing thunder.
Some of the Bryanites are
claiming Iowa, whose majority
against Bryan was 65, 552 in 1896
and SO, 543 in 1900. How vola
tile the Iowans must be in the
opinion of a sanguine Bryan
boomer.
One of the Tammany callers
on Mr.. Bryan said: "If we don't
carry New York for you this
time I'll never shake hands with
you again." If this fails as a
jolly it will serve as a touching
valedictory.
Since the furry of last October
the export of farm products from
this country has kept up at al
most the highest known mark.
The American farmer is unsur-
passed as a tower of financial

The proposed increase in the
railroad freight rate on sugar
between the Atlantic ports and
the West is about one-fftieth of
a cent per pound. Consumers
should remind dealers of this
figure if the retail price is ad-

Why have farmers money for
campaign or other purposes? ?
Because they turned down a
demagogue and his imitation

Taft clubs are reported to be
multiplying in the western part
of Tennessee, where Republicans

stead of getting the Middle West
Mr.. Bryan is likely to lose a slice

The War Departments idea

To be prepared at all points is
the best assurance of consider

a very respectable showing in

but they will find those old line

other good old states, hard to
convert to Bryan Democracy SO
long as they feel that a change
is neither desirable nor benefi-

Back to the Army Canteon.

The re-estab lishment Of the army
canteen by recent act of congress, is
expected to have a considerable in
fluence in improving the physical
condition and morals of the army.
Secretary of War W. FL. Taft af-
ter witnessing the results following
the abolishment of the army canteen
says: IT am convinced that the
general effect OF prohibiting the use
of beer and light wines within the
limited area of the army post. is
10 lead the enlisted men to 60 out of
the post, to frequent vile resorts
which cluster in the neighborhood,
to drink bad whiskey to excess, and
to associate Intimately with aban-
doned men, and still more abandon
ed women, and that the operation of
the law is to increase drunkenness,
disease of the most loathsome kind,
INSTRUMENTATION and desertion, and
moral and ply steal degeneration"
Adjutant General f. c. Ainsworth
of the army reports as follows:
"The restoration of the exchange as
it existed prior to the act of Feb 2,
1901, prohibiting the sale of beer
and light wines, is desired by the
great majority of officers and men,
and by none more than those of pro-
nounced temperance views. Num-
erous reports confirm the views long
held by these officers that the ex-
change contributed to sobriety,
health, and contentment OF the men.

Dollmaking did not become conspic-
uous as an industry in the Thuringian
mountains until the middle of the nine
teenth century, when a citizen of Son
neberg brought from London doll
which was regarded as a great curiOSi-
ty. 1t had come originally from China,
and its head, legs and arms were NOV
able This furnished an inspiration to
the ingenious Thuringian toymakers,
who promptly improved upon it. Up
to that time they had made dolls only
of wood and leather, but soon they
evolved the wax head-at first a crude
article. the wax being applied with
brush, but later brought to high per-
lection, thanks, it is said, to an acct
dental discovery. A man engaged in
making the heads dropped a thimble
into his pot of fluid wax and on taking
1t out found 1t covered with u smooth
and beautiful coat of the substance.

result being the adoption of the dip.
