to paint his Ossawatonie speech as a
radical utterance which cannot bat be
harmful to the interests Of the people.
He has been accused of insincerity. Of
inconsistency. 1t is asked: How
could he support Lodge, a standpatter.
and Beveridge, progressive, without
stultifying HIMSELF" 1t is asserted he
advocated revision of tariff in the
west and approved sta2dpat plat
form in New York although il is
known he deliberately refrained from
having anything whatever to do with
the making of platform.
Col. Roosevcits Answer.
Col Roosevelt's answer to all that
has been said of his progressiveness
is this:
Whatever attacks may be made
upon new nationalism. and whatever
criticisms may be made upon me for
advocating 1t, am satisfied it is based
upon sound principles and that, re-
CARELESS of the results of the present
election, it will in the end prevail
There is no doubt many of the form
York state would have preferred that
he keep out of the campaign. These
men admit had he done so there would
have been a terrific Democratic land
slide, but at last he would have been
in an extraordinarily great strategic
position with references to 1912.
But the colonel replies to this argu-
ment by the statement that when the
issue involved was one of honesty and
good government it was his duty, as
that of every other decent citizen, to
take off his coat and participate in
the struggle.
He realized what he might gain by
keeping hands off, but he preferred to
nail his colors to the mast and 60
down fighting for a basic human prin-
ciple than remain supine and witness
the annihiliation of elements in the
state which in his judgment stand for
what is good in American life.
1t is not doubted that Col. Roose-
velt's activity has been advantageous
to the Republican candidates. His
speeches and personal appeals have
changed thousands of votes. On the
other hand, he has caused offense by
his criticism Of members of the judi
ciary and certain amount of SYM
pathy has been created in some quar-
tiers as the result of his denunciation
of Dix.

Onion: and Garlic.


The onion is vegetable Of great an
tiquity, being found among the earliest
Of cultivated species. A kind Of onion
grown in Egypt 1000 years and more
ago was considered SO excellent that 1t
received divine honors, being worship
ed as god This was considered q
good Joke by the Romans Of those days,
who. as well as the Greeks. were &C
Guainted with several varieties Of on
ions. It is lf-ely that the plant first
grew in Persia or Afghanistan. Garlic
has been raised in China for thousands
Of years, and the ancient Egyptians
made great use OF 1t. No picture Of II
has ever been found on the monu-
ments. but this may be because the
priests considered the plant unclean.
