Anyhow they can't accuse Teddy
Of wearing gum shoes as he goes
around and about over the country.
The most bothersome question
with the Republican party nowadays
is What shall We do with our ex-
Presidents ?"
Up to the hour of going to press,
the Colonel's latest scientific investi-
cations had not entered any new
liars on his list.
The latest estimate of scientists is
that the earth weighs seven trillion
tons. So Teddy now knows just
what he has charge of.
The Calhoon Star says Mclean
county has at least one good road.
Who can say as much for Ohio coun-
ty, and give location?
A five-million-dollar ship subsidy
grab and a central Government bank
are two good bets in the event of the
next House of Representatives re-
tanning its present Republican ma
pority. If the House is Democratic,
It is an equally good bet that special
privilege will be disappointed on
both propositions.
The greensboro Inquirer says that
the census was taken in Henderson
its rival in population-when a
circus was in town, and the Hender-
son Cleaner retalates by saying that
the same circus got stranded in Ow-
ensboro for lack of people to attend
Il. How ferSe these census scraps
are getting to be!
At St. Louis last week a siXty-year-
old woman swan FIVE miles down the
Mississippi river without stopping,
during a severe rain storm. Reminds
us of Mr.. Taft swimming down the
political stream toward the next
Presidential goal, under a deep in
surgent mist, though we doubt that
he will come out as successfully as
did the woman.
All the evils which Mr.. Roose-
welt has been telling US about are of
Republican origin and are a severe
arraignment of the sins of that par
". The Colonel also intimates that
the defeat of his faction may be
looked for, but hopes to win in the
future Go it, Colonel! We can
sympathize with you, for as Demo-
Gratis we have lived on hope for many
years.
A Chicago woman was granted a
divorce mainly on the ground that
her husband wore her clothes in or
der to economic. The corporeity Of
few men permit them to so trans
gress the laws Of the country and
the home, but possibly she might
have hired him out in one of the
city's dry goods stores as model
and made good money out Of the
scheme.
1t cost the taxpayers about $4,000
for the expenses of President Taft 20
speak at St. Paul on conservation,
and it cost the Outlook proprietors
more than $1,000 for Teddy's speech
there and his little swing around the
circle This is fairly expensive cam
paigning for a starter for the Repub-
licans. But the Democratic states
men have to dig into their own pock-
cts for campaign expenses.
Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox is a
thorough believer in the reincarna-
ton theory and says that in a former
existence she maintained a salon in
Paris at the time of Louis XIII, and
was a wicked woman with beauty
and brains. II seems to now be up
to Mr.. Wilcox to hunt out those other
reincarnated parties who were the
bane of his wife's existence in former
centuries and go cunning after them.

You do not have to go to war to
be patriotic. Improve your locality,
uphold your town, help to enlarge
its interests, lend hand to progress,
and you are a patricia lover of
your country-just as truly as SOL
der who shoulders his musket.
There are various ways you can work
to your country's interests and bring
honor to Yourself besides taking your
