SUPPORT HGME TRADE.

Ii you send your money away from
home does it not occrr to you that you
are not helping to build up your own
community, or make It pay your home
storekeeper to stay in business where
you live, and where he helps you to pay
taxes, but that you are building up
some concern in a distant city that has
no interest in you or your property?
Remember that your home merchant
accommodates you often by delivering
goods at your door, by extending credit
to you when cash is not at hand; he
helps to support the schools, churches
and OF er public institutions, including
helpless and unfortunate ones in your
locality; he is your neighbor, working
shoulder to shoulder with you, and helps
to inc ease the value of your own farm
or reaie state by making your commune
ty more active and vigorous.
The tendency for the past few years
has been for people to congregate in
large cities, and the more the farmer
helps to centraIize the distribution of
goods in large cities the more he helps
to cut down the value Of his farm and
the farm products. 1t is for the inter.
est OF the farmer to have a number of
villages, towns and small cities through
out the country, rather than a few large
cities. BY building up his own comnru-
nifty and helping to make it progressive,
working shoulder to shoulder with his
neighbor, the merchants and local
business men, each helping the other,
conduces TO the best development of the
country.

Personally and officially have had

concerning MIR. Taft that were not a
matter of general knowledge, and with
a keen interest / have watched his
large share in the conduct of our ma
tional affairs in very recent years. His
excellence as a Federal judge in Gin
clnnatl is something not to be under
estimated or over-emphasized, for
should he come to the Presidential chair
the qualities which made him Judge Of
high ability, which | know him to have
been, will be the most needful to him as
President of the United States. His
high Ideals Of honesty and of relative
justice, his great capacity for severe
labor and his humorous wisdom in the
face of the serious problem are attri-
butes equally valuable and commenda-
tory to people seeking him in whom
they may repose the trust of their col
lective interests while they turn their
increased attention to their passing in
dividua1 demands -
Mr. Cleveland was a good Judge of
men. Living, his earnest support of
Mr. Taft would have counted for more
than that of any other Democrat or
any other dozen Democrats. Dead, his
