to continue and develop the policies
which have been not merely protested
but acted upon during these seven
years. These policies can be success
fully carried through only by the
hearty cooperation of the president
and the congress in both its branches,
and it is therefore peculiarly import
ant that there should obtain such
harmony between them. To fail to
elect Mr.. Taft would be a calamity to
the country; and it would be folly,
while electing him, yet at the same
time to elect congress hostile to
him, congress which under the in
tluence Of partisan leadership would
be certain to thwart and battle him
on every possible occasion. To elect
Mr.. Taft, and at the same time to
elect a congress pledged to support
him, is tho only way in which to per-
petuate the policy of the government
as now carried on. | feel that all the
aid that can be given to this policy
by every good citizen should be Civ

partisan matter.

Oyster Bay, N. My Dear Sir: I
have received your letter of Aug
ust %. I agree with all that you say
as to the amount of affirmative and
constructive legislation for the social
and economic benefit of our people
which has been accomplished by the
congress during the last seven years.
The law establishing national sys-
tenn of irrigation was of vital import
ance, and stands in its line as second
only to the homestead law. The in
terstate commerce law has been
amended so as to make it new law
with three-fold the efficiency Of the
old law The enactment of the pure
food law was of almost or quite equal
Importance. The creation of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor, to-

Smith & Amberg's Big Clearing
Sale which was to run until Satur-
day, the 18th has, on account Of the
many requests from people, who.
during the past two weeks did not
have the ready money to take adj
vantage of the remarkable bargains,
been extended two weeks longer un-
til August 9th. This sale has been
a remarkable success from the start,
giving the public goods that we're
fresh and new, taken right out Of
stock. and selling them at prices
that could not be duplicated in Hick-
man. During the sale a great
amount of goods has been disposed
Of, but there is still enough for all,
and those people who did not come
during the past two weeks will still
have a chance to buy good, reliable
merchandise at cost and less than
cost. Go, as soon as you can, the
earlier the better, and you will find
the most remarkable collection of
bargains you ever saw.

AT an army post in Utah the other
day a lot of condemned horses we're
sold to farmers at prices ranging up
as high as S155. As usual thing
such stock goes at from $40 to $50
each. This is an indication OF the
demand for work animals. Although
the cavalry ncrses are as a rule
perfectly gentle and broke to saddle,
they are not accustomed to harness,
but soon become tractable and make
generally very good work ANNALS.
Some of them are old, others lame,
but the majority are condemned be-
cause they are slow walkers and not
able to keep up with the others on a
march, or are headstrong and unruly
