TAFT BEST MAN FOR OFFICE
SAYS PRES. ROOSEVELT

Immediately upon receiving news OF
the nomination of Secretary Taft for
the presidency, President Roosevelt
said:
81 feel that the country is indeed to
be congratulated upon the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Taft. | have known him
intimately for many years, and | have
peculiar feeling for him, because
throughout that time we worked for
the same object with the same pur-
pose and ideals. [ do not believe there
could be found in all the country a
man so we'll fitted to be president. He
is not absolutely fearless, absolutely
disinterested and upright, but he has
the widest acquaintance with the
nations needs, without and within,
and the broadcast sympathies with all
our citizens. He would be as en-
phatically president of the plain
people as Lincoln, yet not Lincoln
himself would be freer from the least
faint of demagogy, the least tendency
to arouse or appeal to class hatred of
any kind. He has peculiar and in
innate knowledge of and sympathy
with the needs of all our people--of
the farmer, of the wage worker, of
the business man, of the property
owner.
"No matter what mans occIpa-
tion or social position, no matter
what his creed, his color, or the Sec
ton of the country from which he
comes, if he is an honest. hard work
ing man who tries to do his duty
toward his neighbor and toward the
country, he can rest assured that he
will have in Mr.: Taft the most up
right of representatives and the most
fearless of champions. MIR. Taft
stands against privilege and he stands
pre-eminently for the broad principles
of American citizenship which lie at
the foundation of our national well
being. Theodore Roosevelt"

1t is learned that Seigbert, who is a

keeping company with Lottie Holmes,
negro fortune teller of Appleton.

months to come -Neenah Times.

THE EVIL CUSTOM
OF TREATING

When Rudolph Brand, the great
Chicago brewer, who is an ex-presi-
dent of the United States Brewers
Association, told the delegates to the
brewers convention at their smoker
several weeks ago, that the greatest
evil in the American saloon today is
the habit of treating, his remark was
greeted with cheers.
The custom is unknown in Europe.
There the acceptance of gratuity is
associated with the notion of social
inferiority on the part of the
recipient. Should not the American,
stickler as he is for equality and in
ependence-have too much dignity
to let another man pay for his drinks?
AS Brewer Brand declared, when a
man pays for his own drinks. he gets
no more than he wants. When he
goes into a saloon and encounters a
treating crowd he is confronted with
danger. There is competition in
hospitality. When one has bought,
others must have their chance to buy,
and there are those who take offense
at refusal to accept. Drink follows
drink, and the result is drunkenness.
The abandonment of the custom of
treating would do more than the en-
actment of prohibition of the aboli-
tion of drunkenness in America.-Eve-
ming Wisconsin.
