until the speaker arose from the
table.
During the Roosevelt speech,
Speaker Cannon received much at
tention from the audience. 1t had
been rumored during the day, that in
case any references to him were made
by Roosevelt and to which the speak
er took exception. an answer had
been prepared. Roosevelt made no
reference to him.
Pleads for Honest Men.
Roosevelt said that each state
sometimes has some men who are
corrupt in public life. He said that he
was advised by friends not TO talk
about the legislative corruption in Illi-
nois as it was a delicate subject and
no one had been convicted. He said:
81 have read the confessions of the
four men. l have read what has
been developed by the two states at
torneys, one belonging to one party
and one belonging to another, about
the four men against whom they, Sc
cured the indictments and about the
other men also. l have read that,
and / defy any honest man of intel
Iigence not to come TO the conclusion
that the legislature whose doings
have been exposed was not guilty of
the foulest and basest corruption and
therefore of the most infamous trea-
son to mans institutions.
"An American First"
Now, ] am a good party man, but
/ am an American first. When we
come to questions affecting the vital
principles of American life, 1 know no
party.
81 ask you men Of Illinois that you
purify your policies, that you hold
accountable the scoundrels great or
small who have been guilty of cor
ruption, that you insist on cleanness
in your public life, and ask it in
your name and for. your sakes.
ask it for the sake of the American
people and 1 ask it for the sake of all
the nations of the world, that their
hope may not be made dim and that
they may continue to cherish the
ideal of the possibility of the high
government official for the people.
That shall mean also a government OF
Justice and a government Of honesty"

down, there is not much use in try
ing again to win" said Representa-
tive Ollie James, of Marion, KY, who
was in Washington.
Everything is in their favor. II
seems to me that It is impossible for
them to fail. | estimate that the
Democrats will have majority of
so to 100 in the next House. Fifty is
the smallest number that could be
conceded.
''The Republicans are carrying a
weight which they have never been
forced to bear in any campaign in
which they have been successful.
Events have been playing into the
hands of the Democratic party for the
last year. The tariff law alone, it
seems to me, would have been suf-
ficient foundation for Democratic sue
cess. But other factors will enter
into the contest. The letter which
Senator Aldrich sent to Representa-
tive Mckinley, furnished one Of the
best Democratic campaign documents
that could have been devised"

which they contain. such a. carrots,

possible. Here are several good
recipes:
Cucumber Catsup-Select fresh,
tender cucumbers, not ripe, but in
the white stage. Peel thinly and
CRATE them into a large bowl until
there is enough for two quarts of pulp
after the juice is all drained out of
them, pressing gently with wooden
spoon until the juice stops running.
With this pulp add half a pint of
grated white onions, half pint of
grated horseradish, half an ounce of
ground black pepper, six level table,
spoonfuls of very light brown sugar,
and salt to taste. Mix the pulp and
seasoning thoroughly. Have ready
three quart jars; divide the mixture
into three parts and put one part into
each jar, then fill to overlooking with
the best cider vinegar. As soon as
all air spaces are filled with the vine
gar, screw down the tops tightly, and
set away in a cool place. Be sure
that the jars are alright. This is
fine. @
Another-Half a peck Of solid ripe
tomatoes peeled and sliced; sprinkle
lightly with half cupful Of salt and
let drain for two hours. Then, to the
pulp, add one cupful Of grated horse
radish, half cupful Of fine table salt,
half a cupful of white and black mus
tard seeds, half and half, one cupful
Of grated onions, four celery heads
chopped fine, or run through a chop
ping machine, one cupful Of light
brown sugar, one teaspoonful each of
ground cloves, nutmeg and CHINA
mon and three pints of best cider
vinegar. Mix thoroughly and put
away in large mouthed bottles or
small jars; best sealed, but will keep
without.
For Chill Sauce, eight quarts of
tomatoes, peeled; three cupfuls Of
green peppers, two cupfuls of on
ions, three cups of sugar, one cupful
of salt, three pints of vinegar, three
teaspoonfuls each Of cloves and Gin
namon, two teaspoonfuls each of
ginger and nutmeg. Chop tomatoes,
peppers and onions very fine and boil
all together for three hours, then
bottle and seal.
Lady Fingers-Put into a large
bowl one-half pound Of powdered
sugar and the yolks of eight eggs;

Ruralist.
Governor Hadley stated that there
are entire counties in Missouri in
which there is not single bath tub.
In another speech, he argued the
principles of square dealing and COM
mon sense in the handling of public
questions, and in another he declared
that half the area of Missouri has
never felt a plowshare and that so
per cent of the land under cultivation
was being depleted Of its fertility.
The above is an excerpt from a
news report of a speech said to have
been delivered by Governor Hadley
at the Kirksville Chautauqua last
week. Maybe Mr.. Hadley's bath tub
assertion is true-we are not in a po-
sition to authoriatively affirm or deny
but if he was correctly quoted, we
are constrained to remark that as a
"press agent" our loquacious gov
ernor doesn't rateIup to concert pitch.

The Democratic situation is in
teresting. Francis has an equip
ment that would make him efficient
for his State the moment he entered
the Senate. 1t is odd, indeed, that
his campaign managers do not make
more of the Francis record and the
Francis way of doing things. Fran
els has never failed. He was presi-
dent of the Merchants Exchange in
the days when that body entertained
everyone from Princes to Presidents.
He was an effective Mayor of st.
Louis. He was a strong Governor
He sat in Cleveland's Cabinet as Sec
rotary of the Interior. He headed
the Worlds Fair, an enterprise that
did more for St. Louis and the State
than any other single thing in Miss
issippi Valley history. In all of his
undertakings Francis has left the
stamp of a strong individuality. His
capacity for leadership is an asset Of
