this he must steal camels. So, having
stolen camels, he purchases a rifle.
Then come more raids to take more

There is one type Of woman whose

women If they would like the right of
suffrage, and they have said they
would not, so it does not always indi-

easily such woman could vote. even
though the polls were crowded. She

PlNCHOT DATE is SET.
Rochester to Be Scene Of Deposed
forester's First Speech.

Rochester-Gifford Pinchot, the de-
posed forestry chief, will wage war
against Congressman James A. Taw
ney OF the First district in an address
to be given in Rochester Friday night,
September 2, according to present an
nouncements which Mr.. Pinchot gives
IN a letter received in this city. Pin
chot, who is close to Roosevelt and
is supposed to echo his sentiments, will
arge the candidacy of Sydney A. And
erson of Lanesboro for Congress. The
progressives of the First district are
wild with joy over the prospects of
securing man of national reputation
tc assist them in the battle now on
in the First district.
Mr.. Pinchot comes to Wisconsin to
speak in the interests of La Toilette,
and then he agrees to come to the
First district. The Rochester date
may be the only meeting that he can
hold in the district, as he will probably
attend the National Conservation con-
gress the week following in st. Paul.
Congressman Tawney visited Ro-
chester and called upon some of the
political leaders of the city. He is
very optimistic over the outlook and
feels that his prospects for election are
bright. He was not aware that Clifford
P:nchot was to visit the district until
he arrived in this city, but the an
nouncement did not appear to give him
much concern.

From the Farewell Address.

OF all the dispositions and habits
which lead to political prosperity, re-!
ligion and morality are indispensable
supports. In vain would that man
claim the tribute. of patriotism who
should labor to subvert these great
pillars Of human happiness, these
firmest props of the duties Of men
and citizens. The mere politician,
equally with the pious man, ought to
respect and cherish them. A volume
could not trace all their connections
with private and public felicity. Let
1t simply be asked where is the Sc
curity for property. for reputation,
for life, if the sense of religious OBJ
legation deserts the oaths which are
the instruments of investigation in
courts of justice? And let US with
caution indulge the supposition that
morality can be maintained without
religion. Whatever may be conceded
to the influence OF refined education
on minds of peculiar structure, rea-
son and experience both forbid US to
expect that national morality can pre-
vail in exclusion of religious princi-
