ORGANIZATION

No practical result can be accom-
plished by number Of men without
Organization. Even for temporary
purposes some sort of organization is
essential to efficiency. To accomplish
permanent results-to enforce a per-
manent, continuous policy, continuous
organization / s vitality necessary.
Without it all effort will be sporadic
and the greater part Of the energy APP
piled will be wasted for lack of intel
ligent direction.
To get results in politics involves
the polling and counting of votes.
To this end organization is as vital as
in producing an army and handling it
in the face of the enemy. Not a tenn
porary organization for a campaign,
which goes to pieces when the cam-
paign is over. This is child's play
and would be ridiculous if its effects
were not in truth so tragic.
# you are going to get votes you
must know where you are going to get
them. There is no other way but to
have a record of all who are or may
become entitled to vote and to know
how to place them to and gettheir votes.
Such an organization cannot be made
in q day or month. It is Of neces.
sity a growth Of years. Without it no
results can be accomplished. II there
is anything to be done it is worth the
trouble, the time, the expense.
The whole state cannot be organized
at once, but beginning at various cen
tres where the right material exists,
the organization can gradually spread
itself till it will in reality constitute a
power-a power just in proportion 10
the perfection of the organization.
Without such organization all eff.
fort is a mere darling ofstraws against
the wind. It may furnish amusement.
such as it is, but for practical results

 London, July 25.-Crowning the re- markable succession of American vic- tories by capturing first and third lau- rels in the blue ribbon event of the Olympic games, the Marathon race, that grueling. heart breaking struggle of twenty-six miles and SS5 yards of dancing, blurring trail and harvesting eight and one-third points out of a possible nine in the only other final contested, Uncle Sam stands forth to- lay as champion of champions. The number of points rolled up by the American team now is only six points, official score, behind the total tally Of all other nations of the world com bined, and by the time the sun sets to- night Uncle Sam probably will have re- tired from the 1908 Olympiad with a total greater than the combined score of all the other countries of the world.
 The tally today stands: United States, 100 1-3 points; all other nations, l06 2-3. Americas score is without the eight points which should rightful-

JOHN }. PREFERS
 GREEN TO RED.
Pays For RepaInting of Roof
 Which 0ftends Him.

New York. July 25.-John D. Rocke- feler has made hit with neighbor. and it is in this wise: Mir. Rockefeller is building a new home on his Pocan- tico Hills estate, and from it he wants view that shall be pleasing to his eye in every respect.
 The Institution of Mercy building, q home for orphan children, is little southwest of Mir. Rockefeller's new home, and it's roof. painted bright rcd, was not s pleasing sight for him. So Mir. Rockefeller proposed to the sisters in charge that if they would let him paint the roof green he would send his men down and do the work free.
 As the roof needed painting, the sis ters readily agreed, and Mir. Rockefel- ler's men have painted the roof green to harmonize with the surrounding foliage. Now the view at every point of the compass is wholly agreeable to Mir. Rockefeller.

Politician. Pay Rssp.e,s to Taft.

New York, July 25,-The Republican leaders of the city were fully alive to their opportunity to make the personal acquaintance of their candidate for the presidency. and when William H. Taft leaned back in his Pullman seat to begin his journey to Cincinnati he had shaken the hand of practically every district leader in Greater New York. q number of state leaders and had conversations with politicians of varying degrees of prominence to the number of several hundred.

race is not only triumph for the United States, but in larger sense for America, because seven of the leaders at the end were from north America. The three Canadians-Wood, the h. dian Simpson and Lawson-fnished in fifth. sixth and seventh places respec- lively and, with the representatives of the United States, deprived England of its claim to leadership in the long distance running branch of athletics.
 A big surprise of the race was the retirement of Longboat, the Canadian Indian runner. He quit at the twen- tieth mile, his injured leg going back on him. Up to this time he was serious competitor.
 Dorando, the Italian runner, called in all quarters the real hero of the Marathon race for his pluck, Jstagger- ed into the Stadium in the lead. His shaking legs would hardly support his tired body, and his mind was mud dled so that he faltered about the di- rectien he should take, although the path lay clear before him.
 Urged on, he reeled down the path until he fell in a heap and lay like one dead. He was assisted to his feet, only to fall again and again, until he was half dragged, half carried across the line in an unconscious condition.
 At first he was proclaimed victor by ,a1, tI,a against him, because of the assistance | rendered to him in the Stadium, was needed, and the race was awarded to Hayes.
 Other Events Decided. The other events in the Stadium were tame as compared with the Mar athon, although they added to the victories of the American team of ath- letes. In the pole vault A. c. Gilbert of Yale and E. T. Cooke of Cornell tied for first place with F feet ? inches, and the gold and silver medals go to America, while c. s. Jacobs of the University of Chicago tied with | Sonderstrom of Sweden and Archibald of Canada for third with vault of II feet g inches. America also cap tured all the heats in the no meter hurdle race, insuring all the places in the final of that event, which will be run today. The Americans also won their heat in the 1.600 meter relay race defeating the teams of the United Kingdom and Canada, and will run ir the final against Hungary and Ger many.
 Sweden captured all three prizes ir the high diving The United Kingdom won the POO meter team swimming race and the catch-as-catch-can light to 147 pounds wrestling. The Greco Roman heavyweight wrestling went tc Hungary. The saber and epee indi vidual fencing was won by Fusch Of Hungary and the fencing epee indi vidual competition by Albert oi France.

 basco Sauce.
 West Point, N. T., July 25.-The ban. ishing of eight cadets from the United States Military academy for hazing by new and, in some instances, cruel methods has caused strike" at the academy. So far the strikers have shown their attitude only by boycott ting the school 'hops" and in minor ways, but upper classmen declared that things would be mixed up fur ther unless Secretary of War Wright, in considering the cases of the of lenders who were dismissed, decides to restore them to their places.
 4 Washington dispatch said that the eight men had an interview with the secretary on his return to Washington from Chattanooga and that he would defer action on their dismissal until he could make a thorough examination into the affair.
 Twelve More Cadets Arrested.
 Meantime twelve other cadets are under arrest charged with hazing, and the academy is in tumultuous state The upper class cadets attitude is that hazing is a well founded institution, that no amount of rule making by the war department or law making by congress can stop it and that it is an essential part of life at the academy.
 If plebe should "squeal' he would be ostracized and punished, life made unbearable for him and he would be run out of the academy virtually, dis graced among his fellows. So the plebes who have learned their lesson have grinned and borne it, hoping to "get even" on their successors as plebes.
 Many a plebe has been cuffed and kicked into docility this summer. so strong has been the class feeling over rebellion due to the antihazing law at the lordly upper classmen's mandates One man was obliged to drink tobasco sauce without a whimper at mess. He did it and was sick for days. after suf' fering agony. Two men were forced to stand on their heads until they were nearly unconscious.
 Put Ants In PIebes' Hats.
 On the reservation there are mil lions of large black ants which have a very businesslike bite. These ants were put in the headgear of some oi the plebes by orders just before dres: parade The ants crawled down ovel ] the faces and necks and under thu i clothing of the men. nipping viciously ! while the men did not dare to show a sign of distress or attempt to rit themselves of the torture. Pleas have been similarly employed, it was learn ed Plebes have been obliged to ca at mess in the impossible position o having the tips of their toes agains the underside of the table.
