THE PARTY OF YOUTH
Why Young Men Vote the Repub-

N-w Voters Proud to Ally Themselves
With the Party of LincoIn-lts Past
Performances Presage a Still More
Glorious Future.
1t is not without significance that
young men who have just attained
their majority are found, as a rule,
voting the Republican ticket The rea-
son is plain. Those young men look
on the Republican party as the party
of hope. the party of promise and of
performance. the party for whose can
Gidates they will be proud to say in
later years that they cast their first
ballot, the party whose past needs no
apology, no BALM of oblivion for blum
ders and for crimes. no record of slav-
cry. rebellion and attempted repudia-
ton. each stamped out in its turn by
American freemen under Republican
leadership.
The Republican party is eminently
the party of youth. With Republicans
the memory of the glorious past is but
an incentive to make the future still
more glorious. To the Democracy is
left the cOngenial occupation of fOun-
lering in the marsh of bygone Demo-
cratic vagaries. lured on by some new
and delusive will-o'- o'-the-wisp to the
quagmire of quadrennial failure.
The youthful voter finds no attrac-
tiOn in such company. He prefers to
| march forward on firm ground, with
the party of Lincoln. of Grant, Nc
| Kinley and Roosevelt. of Taft and
| Sherman and Hughes-Of nearly every
| great American living and dead
| whose career has added lTster to the
| closing half Of the old century and the
beginning of the new. The young
man prefers the Republican party be-
cause it holds out a prospect for his
own advancement. because in build
ing up the nation as a whole it offers
fresh opportunities to the individual.
because under Republican administra-
tion there is a fair field for every one,
and every citizen is protected in the
enjoyment of that which he has right
fully acquired.
The new voter who takes his place
in the Republican ranks and casts his
ballot for Taft and Sherman will have
the satisfaction not only of sharing in
the Republican victory, but also of
knowing that he has helped to assure
prosperity for the country at large and
an immeasurabiy better chance in
life for himself and those in whom he
is interested than if the harpies OF
Organism had been permitted to befOu
the feast.

President Roosevelt on Taft's Judicial
Record.
Mr.. Taft's record as a judge makes
the whole country his debtor. His ac-

great traditions of the bench. They
guaranteed and set forth in striking
fashion the rights of the general public
as against the selfish interests of any
class, whether of capitalists or of la
bOrers.

JUDICIAL DIVORCE HUMoR.

Nels Nelson, OF Hillyard. Wash.
has been granted divorce from
Margaret NJ. Nelson because she
whlstled rag time" tunes when he
wanted to sleep. The evils OF divorce
are such as to threaten the soeiaI
foundations OF the nation; Il does not
appear that the average cause al
legged Is more serious than that sci
no By Nelson and prosecuted sue
ccssfully BY him.
The press and public viii cite the
Hlllyard incident as an Illustration
OF judicial fine sense OF humor
more is the pity, Until the courts
cease TO recognize episodes OF this
Kind as bits Of comedy TO tighten
the dry routine OF legal procedure
the people will fail to look upon the
serious side OF them.
Funny" divorce pleas are con-
sidered fair game for wit from the
bench and with such example II IL
not hard to see how the people be
come prone to consider matrimonial
dIssenslons and matrimony itself as
something Of q Joke.
Many murders have resulted from
practical jokes things that In
themselves would be most humorous
II analysed as the judiciary frequent
ly sums up the evidence In a divorce
case In arriving at finding for the
complainant, Yet the reports since
the time OF Chief Justice Jeffreys
contain few humorous capital SEN
tences.
Hanging is not recognized as a
matter for jest and yet murder Is a
less dangerous menace TO national
prosperity than divorce.
As long as divorce is joke for the
courts Il viii be joke for the peo-
pie. II would be well II the magls-
irates resist the temptation to be
humorous and consider individual
,ases only as a part OF an eminently
serious problem.

beet raising In the past have shown
that the beets grow well, and have
high per centage OF sugar. They
have been fed to stock with great
success which is not surprising since
the dried beet pulp after the saccha-
rine Juice has been pressed out, Is
used In Colorado to fatten Thousands
OF lambs yearly.
Professor w. C. Milburn, vice d.
rector OF the Texas experiment sta
ton. says that the Panhandle lands
west OF the 1O1st meridian and hay-
ing an altitude OF 5000 feet or more,
are suitable for beet raising.

rlgatlon to supply moisture in case
rainfall should be deficient. lie also
