The PRINCIPLES
OF HOME RULE
THIS IDEA is FIRMLY EsTAB-
LIsHED WITH THE MEMBERS
OF THE UNITED COMMERCIAL
TRAVELLERS ALL OVER THE
UNITED STATES AND CANADA.

In no organization of an equal
number of members is the principle
OF home rule more firmly established
than in the Order of United Travellers
of America. In this order the rights
not to say the desires or even
whims, of the individual member are
most carefully considered. This is
said not acne on the authority of
ourselves, but will be borne out by
the testimony of every fairminded
man who has had occasion to look
into our methods. The more people
know about organization, especially
those carrying insurance benefits, the
more they are surprised at the demo-
cratic spirit of our laws and the liberal
and enlightened manner of their exc
cution. If things are not right in the
U. G. T. of A., it is entirely the fault
of the members individually and not
the fault, except as individual mem
bers, of any officer, big or little, in
the entire organization.
Only the most inexcusable neglect on
the part of members would make it
possible for any man or set of men to
exploit the order for selfish benefit
Under average condition they would
have to hurry up about it, if the
scheme was not discovered before it
was fairly Matched. Investigations in
this order can come from the top down
or from the bottom up just as desired.
Any subordinate or grand council has
the right to look into the affairs of
the supreme council just as the su-
preme council look into theaffairs of
any grand or subordinate council Any
member can upon his own motion pro-
pose an amendment to the highest
laws of the order and bring it before
every subordinate and grand council
of the order before it finally reaches
the orders highest body for final dis
posal. Amendments proposed by the
highest officers in the order and those
proposed by a member who has just
get the same treatment. They must
all go before the membership at large
upon their merits alone.
There is no chance for any officer
in this order to perpetuate himself
in Office except through his conspicu-
Gus merit as an officer. Practically all
officers are elected every year, and
salaries of all salaried officers are
| fixed. Executive committeeman of the
supreme, grand and subordinate coun-
ellis are elected for two-year terms,
but only for the purpose of assuring
the continuance of at least two ex-
perienced members on these commit
tees. All representatives to grand and
supreme councils are elected fresh

MY WISH.

II I were permitted to wish today,
And to have that wish come true, I'd
say,
"Deck me in trousers and give me
And the sweets of the land I'll surely
sip.
Give me long mileage ticket. and see
I'm adorned with badge of the u.
c. t.
Give me smile like "drummers
smile,
That is always bright and free from
Give me his laugh, with its music
grand,
That would silence with envy an angel
band;
Clothe me in innocence, simple and
pure
Just like "drummer!" And, Oh, be
sure
That I'm decked with a badge Of the
U. c. T.
"Give me a head with god-like poise,
Just like all of the noble boys,
And orbs as keen as the eagles eye,
To see every pretty girl passing by,
And the gift of CAB in perfect stream,
And a heart as big as the boundless
sea
The regular heart of U. C. T.
'Give me the patience to be resigned
To the swell hotels" they so often
find,
Where corncobs are stuffed in the pill
low slips
And the festive bug OF his rich blood
sips;
Where the meat is made from leather
soles,
And the nightmare kicks through his
nights repose;
Where he pays for extras" of high
degree
That are tackled to the bill of each
u. C. T.
Give me the polish and courtly mein,
OF the most gallant knight that e'er
was seen.
And the courage superb and bearing
fine
OF the Occur de Lion Of olden time.
Give me a mind of the gentlest mould,
And heart as pure as the purest
gold
For these are the points, twixt you
and me.
That ennobles the boys of the U.
C. 7.

HAVE FIRE DRILLS.
Since There's no Such Thing as Fire
Proof Houses Try the Drill.

Since it is abundantly shown that
no hotel can be built so fireproof as to
be at the same time panic proof, would
it not seem wise for large hotels to
take a leaf out of the book of large
business and manufacturing houses,
public schools and ocean liners and in
troduce fire drills among employees and
attaches at intervals? If employees
were by this means taught definite du-
ties and responsibilities. it would les
sen their panic and through the In
fiuence of their GOODNESS guests would
have their chances of escape without
Injury greatly increased The fire drill
would do another thing, if Loyalty car
ried out. 1t would teach every employee
the fire danger spots about the house,
and they would instinctly watch them.

According to experts government
seeds are getting better. No long
er do cucumber vines come up
when squashes were expected, and no
longer does the beet make its appear
ance when the carrot was looked for.
1t is safe now to plant government
corn without getting barley or OATS
and Uncle Sans grass seed no longer
produces weeds. This will be welcome
news to those who go to congressman
for their seeds, but still the best plan
Is to SO to a good scotsman and be
sure your seeds will be all right.

Old and New saIesmanship.

TIE old craftsmanship sought to force
people to buy without first causing
them to want the goods. The old adj
vertising sought to trick or shock the
unwilling reader to read. The new
craftsmanship, written and oral, gets
hold Of the buyers interests wherever
they are, and leads him up to the buy
ing point by logical steps. The buyer
is willing to cooperate in the new
order and meet the seller half way by
reading advertising. Sincere, truth
full advertising of articles of merit is
now largely read by willing readers.

WITH THE TRAVELLERS

These drills would also serve to bring
into use fire buckets, fire hose and con-
nections in halls, fire escapes, both rope
and steel, and spiral stairways and all
other safety appliances which other
wise remain unused and rotting for
long periods, and emergency finds them
unfit for service.

MAY BAR FIGHT

1t was rumored generally today,
that the city mmissioners of Grand
Junction had taken action to forbid
the exhibition of the Jeffries-J Crimson
prize fight pictures in this city but in
an interview with The Sentinel today
Commissioner Vedder denied this re-
port and stated that while the matter
had been brought to their attention
no action of any nature had been
taken and none would be until the
return of Mayor Todd. as this matter
lay entirely under his supervision
and in his department.
Continuing. Mr.. Vedder stated. 81
do not know whether or not we will
do anything at all about this matter
but in case we do II is very likely
that we will include in the act pro-
hibiting the exhibition of the picture
the showing of any pictures which
would be classed in the same category
with the fight pictures from moral
standpoint"
Commissioner Holmburg has eX-
pressed himself as opposed to the
issuing of permission to show the
pictures here but stated that he did
not know how the other commission
ers felt in regard to the matter.

McGUFFEY'S READERS.

When in 1880 a young Cincinnati
publishing house offered William ii .
McGuffey $1,000 to compile set of
four school readers, not even the
imagination of an II. G.. Wells could
have foreseen in the transaction the
basis of reputation which might
eventually enshrine the compiler in
New York's Hall of Fame. McGuffey
as a professor at Miami and president
of Ohio University had more than a
local renown as an educator. says the
New York World. But 1t is for his
readers" that the public remembers
him.
They helped to form the literary
taste of two generations of Western
schoolboys, and the length of time
they resisted the competition of the
new wares seductively offered to
school boards by enterprising pub
fishers testifies to their quality. An
alert investigator of literary origins
might trace to them some of the
sources of the Indiana school of au-
thorship. Certainly the McGuffey
electric" series contained an amount
of good English prose and verse
which 1t would be difficult to match
In equal compass in modern hand
DOCKS OF literature ana 'half-hOurs
with the best authors"
The actual work of their compila-
ton was done by w. II. McGuffey's
younger brother Alexander, youth
of 20. In an interview not long be-
fore his death in 1891 Alexander Nc
Guffey said:
My brother was very busy and as
! had an abundance of time on my
hands he agreed to undertake the
work with the understanding that the
burden of II was to come upon me,
working under his supervision. The
readers were to be published under
1 his name in order to give them pres
| tige. The firm agreed to this ar
rangement so they brought over a
great load of old school readers from
| which. as from other and higher
sources, was to make selections. The
| work took all my spare time during
the winter of 1886 and half of 1897 "
The McGuffey readers have been
improved" upon to meet more mod
ern educational demands. There is
now dialect verse for the pupil,
Whitcomb Riley, Eugene Field. scien-
tific extracts. etc. but there was
much good literature in the old read
ers for parents as well as children.

WILL ROOSEVELT RUN
FOR PRESIDENT AGAIN?
(By Clyde II. Tavenner, stan Wash
ington correspondent of The
Sentinel.

Washington. July lis President
Roosevelt likely to again seek the re-
publican nomination for the presi =
dency?
This is a query frequently asked in
political circles.
Opinions differ widely. But, wheth-
er the eX-president ever seeks the
nomination again or not, it is ex-
tremely doubtful If he could get it.
Theer are two reasons.
The first is that Postmaster Gene--
al Hitchcock has packed the govern
ment offices with men friendly to
Taft and hostile to Roosevelt. These
officeholders, such as postmasters.
etc. will be well represented at the
next republican national convention.
This tribe of politicians, popularity
known as stand-patters, will do their
utmost to prevent Roosevelt from Sc
curing the nomination unless he
comes out in the approaching cor
gressional campaign with an ell
dorsement of them, which it is safe
to predict he will not do.
The second stone wall in the way
of a third nomination is the clearly
defined and long-standing public SEN
timent against third terms. George
Washington set the pace in this re
gard by declining a third nomina ton
and pointing out the possible evils OF
such thing.
Little was heard of the subject
again until 1874. when the New
York Herald started a cry that Grant
would not be averse to accepting Il
third term. The press generally
