GIVE EVERY MAN A
CHANCE, SAYS ROOSEVELT
FIRST PRIZE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
BELIEVE beyond a doubt that the
great majority of the American
- people earnestly desire Theodore
Roosevelt to be their next president.
He is one of the greatest presidents
our nation has ever had. He stands
next to Washington and Lincoln in
his character and great service to the
country. Roosevelt is an excellent man
throughout He is a good Christian,
possessing all the qualities of a true
American. among them his famous
motto, Give every man square deal
That Mr.. Roosevelt has the un-
failing ability to manage our govern
ment was clearly shown in his last ad-
ministration. His fearless fight against
the trusts and protection for the labor
ing man are two of his many important
measures. These are excellent meas
ures. and every one is interested in
them | think that we will all agree
with Mr.. Roosevelt's views.
Theodore Roosevelt is a great speak
er as well as a great writer and
fearless statesman. His wonderful
messages to congress stirred every one
until they began to wonder what re-
markable achievement will he next
bring forth He has the future pros
perity of the nation at heart, and will
do all he can to protect its resources.
Our only doubt now is that Teddy
may not wish to become president
again. All we can do is to hope that
he will accept the candidacy. Your
nephew. ARTHUR MOBILES.

KNOWS AMERICAS NEEDS

Dear Aunt Laurie:
| think a great many of the Ameri-
can people want Theodore Roosevelt
for their next president, Some think
that because he has been president al
ready one term and part of another
he should not have third term, for
there has never been a president three
terms, but it is better to have a good
president for three terms than one who
does not know the wants of his people
for even one term.
But most of the people think he
would make a very good president, be-
cause when he once held that office of
trust he treated the people well and
now that he has had a vacation, travel
ing around the world, exploring and
hunting in Africa, he will come back
to the United States refreshed and
ready to do all he can for the people
who depend upon him for good gov
ernment
He is visiting most all the countries
of Europe and their kings and empe-
our next president he would know just
union in our own country.
He is an able man and diplomat
He would be a good general if we were
to have war, because he has shown
himself a good soldier and fighter dur
ing the war with Spain.
He is an unassuming, able speaker
and knows the wants of the American
people probably better than anyone
else. JOSEPHINE DIES MOVERS.

tain any other office he probably would
be stronger than the president Who
ever he may be. because he has so far
obtained the good will of the Ameri-
can people.
He is still comparatively young
man and full of strength and Vigor
and it is not his nature to be quiet.
1t would be just as well for him to
occupy an office in our American gov
ernment.
The greater majority of the Ameri-
can people feel perfectly safe in say
ing that they would vote for Roose-
welt should he be one of the candi-
dates in our next presidential cam
paign.
The American people have a good
opinion of Roosevelt and they have
watched him with interest

PEOPLES RIGHTS SACRIFICED

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Do the American people want Roose-
welt for their next president?
No.
AS we all know, Mr.. Roosevelt NOM
mated Mr.. Taft and just the other day
l saw in the paper that Roosevelt in
dorses Tafts administration. Presi-
dent Taft's administration is con-
demned by a majority of both parties.
Another thing l believe is that when
the Americans think there is but one
man in the entire country who can
lead them from the wilderness, they
are getting dangerously near the point
of acknowledging they are not capable
of self government.
Mr.. Roosevelt knows how to talk to
please the people, but he has several
times sacrificed the rights of the people
for his friends and party. l honestly
think that no man is fit for the presi-
Dental office who will not serve his
country before his party.

thing that goes to prove the great abil-
ity of our ex-president.
After his daring journey into the un-
knowns of the dark continent and the
capturing of the great wild beasts of
the forest. of which many were pre-
sented as relics to the Smithsonian in
stitution, he started upon his tour of
the different nations of the world. Here
he received grand receptions by royal
ties and is looked up to as king.
Aunt Laurie, was there ever such
a man to represent the United States?
Did the people ever make such prepa-
rations to receive a man as the people
are for Roosevelt? Is not this man
brave? Is not this man looked up to?
Is not this the kind of a man America
wants to be president? l am sure you
will agree with me when | say Roose-
welt, our next president.

A COURAGEOUS MAN

Dear Aunt Laurie:
To answer the question given this
week, 1 think they do. But, as our
teacher says in geometry, 1--WE must
prove it,
The first thing toward proving it is
to say that Roosevelt is really one Of
the greatest men who was ever in the
presidential chair.
OF course he had not the opportunity
to distinguish himself as Lincoln had
nor as had Washington, but he showed
great courage in going into the wilds
of Africa.
Before President Mckinley died The
odore Roosevelt was hardly known to
the general public. To see how quickly
he rose in the eyes of the Americans,
let alone the foreigners, is another

READY FOR ANYTHING
HONORABLE MENTION

Dear Aunt Laurie:
IL o we approve of the president
who shall suspend the laws, de-
n mand contributions as the price
of government affairs and give us an
other term of unrest and denunciation? =?
If we want Roosevelt again, we do
not want the law, nor the constitution
behind the law, but merely a man
on horseback"
Posing as an American Rough Rider,
he had become the idol of great masses
of the American people With his
added prestige of rough hunter, his
popularity will be greatly increased,
and at the head of the unorganized
masses of the American people it Is
impossible to predict to what stage of
wild political hysteria they may fol-
low him. With a leader carried away
by his impulses, the movement will
go on until the excitement shall die
out and the hysteria be exhausted.
But when order is again restored
there may have been made such vast
changes in our American system that
il will be impossible to return to its
foundations.
When Roosevelt boarded his steamer
on the upper Nile, he told his news
paper friends that he was ready for
anything. 1t was a characteristic ut
terance and should be accepted as the
Roosevelt attitude toward the future.
Ready for anything" conveys exact
ly his attitude toward the rest of the
human race. So far as can now be
foreseen Mr. Roosevelt is going to be
ready for anything, including another
term in the White House, which will
probably last twenty years

RoosEvELT is A CAPABLE MAN
SECOND PRIZE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
T AM "dee-lghted" with our topic
for this week. [ think that IL
n Roosevelt would consent to run
for the presidency he would Re in pop
ular demand by all of the American
people. Roosevelt stands for honesty
and strength of character When he
says he will do a thing, he does it, and
does it at once. All American people
have faith in what MIR. Roosevelt says.
for they know that he practices what
he breaches"
The trust companies do not want
Roosevelt for our president. They
know py past bitter experience mar
"Teddy" is a straightforward man
who will not stand for their crooked
dealings and vices: and that when he
starts to WELD the big stick he means
business The fact that Roosevelt is
against immoral trusts and for the
people ought to be sufficient reason
for the people wanting him for our
next president.
Roosevelt does work for the good of
the American people. Every act of his
while he was president was done in
behalf of his countrymen. 1t is be-
cause of his strength of character and
will power that ne accomplished so
much good for our country.
When Roosevelts intention or going
TO Africa was dnIlouHCeu' thc news
papers began to draw caricatures or
the many lions, tigers, etc, that would
be killed at the hands of our ex-presi-
dent. OF course this was done in fun,
but it also brought out his character.
He had determined to kill numerous
wild animals. and people were confident
that he would carry out this deter
mination.
1t was not until after Roosevelt left
and another had been installed in the
vacated office that the people of the
United States fully realized his value
as a president.
Roosevelt Is the most capable man
for the office of president who could be
found; therefore, the American people
ought to and do want Theodore Roose-
welt for our next president. Lovingly,
HELEN M. FERGUSON.

HAVE NOTHING
ON INFIELDERS WITH BAT.
Score is About Even in the Two Major
Leagues.

Outfe1ders as a rule are looked upon
as the strongest flitters, whereas little
is expected in the batting line of the
pitchers. The reason for this is obvi-
Gus, inasmuch. as the pitcher is picked
out particularly for his ability to fool
opposing batsmen, while outffelders are
selected because of an inherent ability
to solve the most puzzling delivery. Ii
some skill in handling fly or ground
balls, but this is secondary, to a large
degree, to their ability as sluggers.
In comparing the outfelders with the
inf1elders, however, there is little to
choose in batting strength, although
there is a marked difference in this
respect in the history of the two major
leagues. Napoleon Lajoie is the only
infielder who ever led the American
league in batting during the ten years
of its existence but he was at the top
four times-in 1901, 1903, 1904 and 1905.
Otherwise outfielderS have shown the
in 1906 and Ty Cobb ever since. Out
side of Lajoie, only seven infielders
have found a place among the leading
thirty hitters in the life of the league,
among whom are Eddie Collins, the
brilliant second baseman of the Ath-
Ietics, Harry Davis, Jim Delehanty, Mig
Clarke and Al Orth.
In the National league, however.
there is different story to tell. 1t
has been figured out that in thirty
eight years an infielder has headed the
list twenty-one times, to only sixteen
for outfielders. Hans Wagner has been
at the top seven times, and is the only
shortstop to earn the distinction. Ten
first basemen, four second basemen and
one third baseman have shown the
way. Mike Kelly. away back in 1886,
was the only catcher who ever led the
National league in batting, but he
played in the outfield part of the time
because of his ability with the stick.
One pitcher also found his way to the
top in John p. Luby of Chicago, i'll
1890, when he played in thirty games
for percentage of .342. Roaring BIZ
of Pittsburg led the league a
few years ago, but he pitched in SO few
games that he never got full credit.
