The ill-omened, the croaker, can
do more harm in a minute than
two good citizens can repair in a
month. Boost the town, talk
well of the people-in other
words, live as you like to see
other folks living.
There is plenty of good horse
sense in that editorial, and it
might properly be applied to
this city. | have been on the
train coming into this city and
have heard citizens of this town
asked the question as to where
they lived and lowering their voice
and sliding down into their seat
they almost whispered: I'm
from Canyon City Now this
isn't the spirit that should Undue
the people of this progressive
town. When asked such a ques-
ton they should be glad of the
chance to almost stand up and
shout that they were from the
best town in the best county in
the best section of the best state
under the best government in
the world and that's Canyon
City. \ little more boosting on
the part of the citizens will help
out Every time you mention
the name of your town it helps
that much but the louder you
mention it the more people will
hear of it.

OF Interest to Mothers.

There is one subject which al
ways interests the mothers of
young children, and that is how
to treat their coughs and colds,
or to ward off a threatened at
tack of Group. For this purpose
we can recommend Cham Der
lain's Cough Remedy. 1t always
proves beneficial In case of
Group it should be given as soon
as the croupy cough appears, so
as to prevent the attack. Keep
it at hand ready for instant use.
Many mothers do so, and it saves
them much uneasiness. For sale

trade without the local papers

thing. l opened up a store last

1t served you right. 1t did, by
Jing. You did a very silly thing
to try to run a store these days,
unwiSe in modern selling ways.
Now go to work for a smarter
man and save as much as ever
you can, learning meanwhile how
he buys, how to selland advertise.
When again you've got a start,
begin anew with hopeful heart.
Buy your stock and hire your
clerks, and hasten to the print
ing works. Take one full page
and fill it well with prices on the
things you sell, Run that page
daily. rain or shine, and a double
page from time to time. Then by
and by,if YOU take these hints,
you'll be known as a merchant

plenty of virtue in printers ink.

WRITING HIS ADDRESS.
Mfr. Taft im Working Hard on Speech of
 Aceeutanee

ACGeptaace.
 Hot Springs. Va, July 21.-Three days more of dfligent consideration and careful revision will be given by Will liam H. Taft to the speech which he is to deliver at Cincinnati Tuesday next. in acknowledgements of the of- ticial notification that he Is the Presi- dential nominee of the Republican party.
 Although the speech Is to be supple mented in September by an extended letter of acceptance, 1t Is the purpose of the candidate to then take this earlier opportunity to set forth pre- cisely and as clearly as possible, as may be his position on the Surprising multitude" of questions which may be dealt with in the campaign The im- partance politically of thus announcing himself. has been impressed upon Mir Taft by the numerous political advisors with whom he has consulted. And he has decided to take the risk of being tedious in the delivery of a speech of an hour and half which will be fully Illuminating, in place of the thirty minute talk he had at first believed would suffice. But there is much con- sulting yet to be done and undoubted- ly many changes of expression will be made.
 For two nights. Mir. Taft has labored over the speech until the early morn ing hours, and yesterday. instead of in- dulging in his usual golf game. he lis- tened to the reading of the speech by Frank B. Kellogg; meanwhile he sat gazing out on the links with pleased expression, while Antal Ills, an artist of Budapest. who speaks no English. hurried a life-sized likeness of the can didate on to a hugh canvass for the Hungarian Republican Club of New York. Mir. Kellogg has consented to assist in the revising process until Fri day, when Mir. Taft has promised him. self thnt the work shall be finished

 The proposition was given enthusi- astic approval by the members of 'ChanEe. At the close of the meet ing. one of the leaders in the move ment said:
 "A Southern exposition and some eating Ciucinnati's affection for the South is assured"
 A.. formal report was presented in support of the idea, raciting various sreae0ns why such ceiebFati0n should be held in Cincinnati and summing up its probable character safd:
 As tg sctAtacte ter. seopA aRd plans. these are n1atterk feE tsiturs sconsiaer- 1ation. It may take the form of an ex- hlbit of waterways devices and meth cds.

 Unlike expositions of the past, each State represented in the New South would have its own building in which. It's resources. things of human interest and particular forms of amusement and entertainment would be freauent. No statement would be restricted as to the magnitude of its exhibit. The State Buildings could be arranged in the order of their geo. graphical location, making it easy for visitors to find any exhibit Each State would name a commission to collaborate with. a committee of like number representing the Cincinnati executive committee in the execution of plans of a particular state"

 terday.
 Fairview. Lincoln. Neb.. July 2I.--It seems almost certain that the chair man of the Democratic committee will be former Governor William L. Doug lass of Massachusetts.
 The fact that he has been sought after to take the place became known here to-day following the departure of George Fred Williams. who con- ferred last night with Mir. Bryan. after coming direct from Massachusetts It was not generally known here that Mir. Williams had returned east from the Denver convention. It Is presum- ed that he conferred with Governor Douglass about the matter at the re- quest of Mir. Bryan while in the East. The appointment of Governor Douglass as national chairman, it is stated. would meet the requirements which it Is desired the national chair man shall possess. He Is a man of large means and political experience is popular with the laboring class and his attitude on the tariR question completely meets the Democratic idea When asked tonight for a conhrma- tton of the report Mir Bryan said he could not discuss the matter until after the meeting of the sub commit tee of the national committee in Chi cago Saturday night.

 He said he knew nothing about cita- tion for contempt by the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia fur ther than the reference to it he had seen In papers this morning.
 "As understand It." he said. T am cited for contempt because as Presi- dent of the United Mine Workers at the time was supposed to be pFesid- ing. at the miners. convention session which adopted resolution putting the Buck Stove and Range Company on the unfair list" do not know whether was presiding at the time the, resolu- tion was adopted or not. I have made no plans to go to Washington but pre- sumably shall be there within the next month, as I go there frequently. I shall certainly not change my plans on account of the citation. I shall neither make a special trip there to have the papers served on me. nor will evade service when so there"
 Asked if he favored the plank in the Democratic national platform relating to contempt committed outside the presence of the court he said:
 \ believe that plank starts the rem edy which will give the necessary re- lief"
 Mir. Mitchell was asked If he would appear on the Democratic stump this year in support of Bryan and Kern and the Denver platform.
 T cannot. say at this time" he re- piled. '.I have been compelled by. my physicians to cancel several engage ments that had been made for me to deliver some ronpartisan speeches. They insisted on 1t, stating that my health had not sufficiently improved to warrant me trying to address large crowds. I cannot say whether I shall appear in the campaign this year or not"
