When Mr.. Bryan goes campaigning
down South some man may be thought
less enough to interrupt him IN the
middle of speech by asking him
how he stands on the Negro ques,
ton.
"How will Mr.. Taft explain to the
average man the benefits OF protec'
tion?' asks :Ir. Bryan. Bless your
heart. the average man understands il
without any explanation. = Omaha

the claim.

publicity of the use of campaign funds,

Bulls Eye Shots.

The new diplomacy inaugurated In
the foreign policy of the United States
proclaims truth and frankness as it's
characteristics. 1t is the absolute can
dor of Mr.. Taft in consulting openly
with his predecessor in the White
House upon questions relating to the
public good as allied with Republican
victory that SO COMPOUNDED his critics.
There is nothing so dazzling as the
white light of courageous candor.
Both political parties can fly the
American flag on land, but it is the Re-
publican party that would keep the
American flag flying at sea over the
American merchant marine
When Mr.. Taft delivered his speech
Of acceptance the country understood
why he could not make it shorter
Every word counts, and every word
tells; not one could be spared.
Taft hits hard He is in the heavy
weight class and the opposition recog-
nizes that there is nothing soft about
his fighting. Every blow he lands is
weighted with the force of conviction.

Short Suggestions.

Mayonnaise seasoned with chilli
sauce gives a variation for fish and
meat salads.
A milk strainer that gets clogged is
easily cleaned by rubbing coarse salt
through the wires.
A little sugar will destroy the salty
taste of food caused by the too liberal
use of the salt shaker.
The rhubaib of slender stock variety
is sweeter than the mammoth growth.
1t is better for all purposes.
For cleaning burnt marks on sauce
pans and dishes, and also for securing
discolored earthenware sinks, ETC., use
hearthstone. 1t is cheaper than pu-
mice stone and answers the purpose

Unless the most expensive salmon is
used, the chances are it is not pure

Tho Soft Pedal.

Readers of the New York World are
wondering what has become of its
Bryan map.
Mr.. Taft doesn't seem quite so anx-
ious for big, strong horse since his
admirers have been assuring him that
he can win in a walk.
Twelve years of talking on the part
of Mr.. Bryan having failed to cure the
public of its lack of confidence in his
craftsmanship, he will do some more
talking.
Kansas is worried about it's bank de-
posits. When Bryan ran the first time
it was worried for lack of bank depos-

malcontents and theorists Mr.. Sher-

patty, is phrase that hits the target

AS to the Hon. Tom Watson, he will
remind the country from time to time,
as the campaign progresses, that he is
just as much a candidate for President
as any of the other fellers.

How and Where to Register for Farm
in the Rosebud Reservation.

The President has signed proclama-
ton opening that part of the Rosebud
Indian Lands in South Dakota, generally
known as the Trip County lands, and
designated Judge James w. Witten,
the Chief Law Officer of the General
Land Office, to superintend and conduct
the registration and drawing to be held
in October, 1908.
Persons who desire to register for this
drawing should go to CHAMBERLAIN
or PRESHO, South Dakota, via Chi
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul railroad,
between October and October II and
there sign and swear to an applica-
ton for registration which will be fur
nished by the officer administering the
oath.
These lands embrace $4,000 acres,
part of which have been allotted to In
dams, and are located on the south side
of the State of South Dakota, and adj
join the lands in Gregory County which
were opened in 1904. They are desirable
for farming and stock-raising purposes.
Similar lands in adjoining counties are
selling for $50 to $40 an acre.

Desert Cures for Snake Bites.

The rattlesnake has part all his own
in the desert practice of healing. Rattle
snake oil cures rheumatism and the
stiffened joints a man gets working down
in a wet mine; the oil rubbed in the
ears cures deafness, and rettlesnake

and worn around the waist, will keep.

dust from the rattles will cause blind
ness which nothing will cure.
There is plant which the rattleSnake
fears-he will not crawl across it, and If
it is dropped on him he uncoils and
crawls away. Perhaps this is only bit
Of myth, but every desert man knows
the golondrina-the creeping plant with
tiny, round, gray green leaves and NIL
mute white blossoms with a brown CEN

used as a IMMINENT for rheumatism too,
and the Mexican women know that IL

If the golondrina is too far to find

snake bite-a cure well enough attested
and one with which many an Indian has
fought bullet wound and saber cut and
mastered incipient blood poisoning. The
leaves of any fat leaved opunta, but
especially the common prickly pear, are

In cold weather some people think

warm. So it is-for a short time but

action is to cause more chilliness.
There is hot, wholesome drink
which a Oak. girl found after a time,

She says:

Lost in Paris.

An amusing story is told of an Eng
lishman in Paris. After some hours of
sightseeing, one day he lost his way
and could not get back to his hotel. He
asked first one and then another, but
the foreigners apparently did not under
stand their own language. At last, in
sheer disgust, he tore a leaf out of his
pocketbook, wrote upon it the name of
his hotel. and silently presented it to
the next passerby. The man looked at.
him compassionately, beckoned him to-
follow. and without word they pro-
ceeded up one street and down another.
Finally the wanderer saw the door OF
his hotel. and forgetting in his relief and
gratitude all the difficulties of the lam
guage, he turned to his companion and
said. "Thank you very much. l am
greatly obliged to you" The other
stared at him in amazement and then
blurted out, you duffer, why didn't
you speak before? l thought you were
deaf and dumb" The good Samaritan
was of his own ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

Political Notes.

Mr.. Taft is not trying to reduce his
weight because he is afraid of his own
shadow.
Missouri has become the first state
in lead mining, as well as zinc min
ing. If ores are to be admitted Free
as Mr.. Bryan advises, what will hap

The wages will 60 down to the foreign
level and in many cases the mines will

what is to be done with J. Ham
Lewis?" asks the Memphis Commercial
Appeal, and it is somewhat hard to say,
considering the vast number of side
shows Of which the Democratic party is
made up. But Mr. Bryan may find
room for one more.
Mr.. Bryan says he is the heir to the
Roosevelt policies and the New York
World is supporting him because be is
opposed to everything that Roosevelt
advocates. That is about as nearly

ever come to agreeing Bee.

TAFT GAINING STRENGTH.
Independent Political Writer Finds
Republican Candidate Popular.

Independent Political Writer Finds
Republican Candidate Popular.
Walter Wellman, the Washington
correspondent Of the Chicago Record
Herald, thinks Taft is gaining strength.
Writing of his candidacy recently he
said:
1T is not denied that for some weeks
after the Chicago convention there was
in the East, at least, an undertone OF
prejudice against Judge Taft, springing
from the belief that he was Il mere
echo of Roosevelt; that he was mot
his own man." that he could not have
been nominated but for the President S
aid, and that he is only a stalking horse
for the man at Oyster Bay. CuriOusly
enough, many men who like Roosevelt,
and would vote for him If he were to
'un again. felt lukewarm toward Taft
because of this belief that he was only
the Presidents shadow. Now this feci-
ing is largely wearing away. |; never
was entertained by men who knew the
facts, who knew Taft himself, who
we've familiar with the strength Of his
character, his independence of mind.
But the men who did entertain it are
beginning to perceive that lie is his
OVID man and a strong one 1T that.
The more speeches Taft Glakcs, the
more frankly and plainly he talks, the
less will there be of this mistaken no
ton that he is overshadowed by an
other. Taft's frank talk on the LABOR
ard injunction questions and his r;ain,
blunt denial of the foolish story that
he once said 81 day was wages
enough for a working man, has done
him more good than his more labOred
and pretentious efforts.
"Judge Taft's friends argue that to
some extent he has been misunder-
stood man, and they want him to take
the stump to show the country what
be really is. They would like to have
TIE masses of the people look upon him
IN the same way as he is looked upon
by residents of this city, where lie IS
ST. well known Ask any man Of the
pational capital, be he Republican or
Democrat, what he thinks o. Judge
Taft, and he will tell you that TAFT
is one of the biggest, strongest, finest
characters we have ever had in public
life. This is my own opinion, and for
twenty years l have known and watch
ed most of the important men Of Con-
gress and of the government OF both
narties. / am not a hero worsh1per,
nor a partisan. But Taft has .mpressed
me. as he impresses every enc who
really gets to know him, as the tirest
t,pe Of man this country produces, ana
better fitted by temperament and train
Ing and experience for the difficult
task of the presidency than amy man

years The friends and admirers OF
the Republican candidate believe the
country should know the man as ne

standard of citizenship and patriotism
providing the party of construction
and enlightened citizenship remains in
power.
When we come to contemplate the
vast field of natural western resources,
available for food, for industry and
for commerce.; when we attempt to
grasp in one act of thought, the
length and breadth and depth OF the
riches with which Providence has
loaded this section; when we try to
realize how every possible want, every
material aspiration Of man can be
bountifully provided for; when we
consider how measureless are the
values which will spring into being un-
der the Republican policy of dealing
with the west, and how these values
when once created are solid and real,
can be Incorporated into the endur-
ing structure of human society, we
may begin to estimate properly the
measure Of responsibility which rests
upon this nation and it's chosen rulers.
This is not merely to preserve I'M
harmed the priceless boon of civil lib
erty which leaves the individual citi-
zen free to do his share in work Of
development, but to adopt such meas
ures as will prevent the waste Of nat
ural resources, clear the way of
progress and promote the final triumph
of civilization. The record Of the Re
publican party is one of progress.
AI1urtng Vision of Greatness.
Judge Taft not only knows and
loves the west, and favors developing
it to the maximum limit, but he also
knows Japan, China, the Philippines,
the South Sea Islands and all the
South American republics whose shores
are washed by the expansive Pacific
ocean and whose products are destined
to augment the commercial supremacy
of our Pacific coast cities and the
trade centers on all the transconti-
mental railroads. His well-known pol
icies provide for the west as well as
the east, the north and south and far
away possessions.
Looking at the great War Secretary
from this viewpoint, is there any won
der that the west is for Taft and Sher-
man?
