EQUAL TO THE OCCASION

Attention is called through the press
to the fact that Mr.. Roosevelt was
much more intimate with Cannon, and
Aldrlch, and Dalzell, and "Sunny"
Jim, our esteemed Vice-P resident, than
MI. Taft has ever been since he has
occupied the White House; that Mr..
Taft was Mr.. Roosevelt's ''personal'
candidate, that he nominated him
from the White House, and made
ssstump speeches" from there for him,
and just before the election he issued
that flaming, firery manifesto, "We, :"
with heavy emphasis on the we, shave
gotten them beaten to FRAGILE" Then
we are asked, team MI. Roosevelt now
adopt a policy which will throw all
overheard ?" We are assured that he
can, and he can do it SO easily that not
tremor will run through his frame.
He has been in the slaughter house
business for some time, he has under
gone system of training, and when
anybody thinks the heart Of Theodore
will melt and his own right arm re-
fuse to deal the blow when he steps up
to the shambles, he is vastly mistaken.
sIf thy right hand offend thee cut it
off," If there stands in his way any
thing that may impede his progress to
power, he will remove it, even if it be
those once very dear to him. Have nc
fears on this point. He will be equal
| to the occasion.

Oh. WHAT'S THE usEa

Our national appropriation for the
ensuring year is $1,09s, S47, 1874 This
enormous sum of money is practically
wasted as to over one-third, as Mr..
Aldrich admits. Every Congressman
and Senator for that matter, when he
is first elected VOWS within himself
that when he reaches Washington he
will use his best efforts to curtail these
enormous expenditures and this GRIM
inal waste. After he reaches there he
finds he has nothing more to do with
these expenditures in fact, than If he
had staid at home. Only a few people
arrange this. Only few people ham
die this government. Only few peo-
pie spend all our money. In fact in
the Senate Mr.. Aldrich does all this.
Nor very many more do it in the
House. We spend about as much in val
ue every year as the state Of Indiana.
We spend every year as much as all Of
our gold mines produce in 40 years
Those we send to Congress seeing how
things go, in little while give up
they say, "Oh, what's the use."

12-Year-Old Richmond Girl Proves

Culver, Ind, Aug. 19.-Isabell Full

spending a week ON the lake, taking
part in the aquatic sports. With the
Fuller girl, who is also a good swim
mer, he was swimming from the hotel
pier to point about 300 yards DIS
tant. Before he had gone halfway
he was seized with cramps and call
ed for help.
The girl swan to is aid, and grasp

Unable to make much progress, she
remained in deep water, holding

five minutes, and reassuring him

WILL HAVE TO HEAR HIM SING

We knew an old man once, who had
led a country church choir for many
years. He had used the tuning fork
and had sounded ssdo" to give his
choir proper pitch, when the tunes were
started, back from date when most
of the congregation were in swadling
clothes. His voice had become crack
&c, and among the young and aspiring,
there was a disposition to have him
relegated to ssthe has beens." The old
man was much affected, and it bore
heavily on him. One man in the con-
gregation with whom he had never
been friendly, took an active part in
his retirement. The old choir leader
said he had heard that Blank was OPP
posing him. He knew Blank did not
like to hear him sing, but, said the old
choir master with much feeling, eli
Blank ever gets to heaven he'll have to
hear me sing" Mr.. Cannon, no doubt,
feels somewhat the same way in re-
gard to the republican party, which is
now trying to ''squelch" him, and nc
doubt he can say with equal JUNCTION,
about these gentlemen,so long as there
is a republican party, 'they will have
to hear me sing"
