and the grace of God he made home
for his followers out of the dark
woodlands and heavy swamps that
constituted the virgin wilderness.
These settlers of the Pennsylvania
woods were believers in the creed OF
Memo Simon. the founder of the Men
MONTE church. and were driven step
by step from Europe by the religious
intolerance Of the time. Under the
leadership Of their pastor, Hans Herr.
they sailed for America and became
the pioneer settlers Of Pennsylvania.
Since the first breaking Of the soil
the county has felt the influence OF
many newcomers. There were the
Scotch-Irish in the south and the
Quakers. who pushed over from Ches-
ter county. and the Welsh in the
northeast. among their iron furnaces;
SO that Lancaster, in Its radical and
religious aspect, Is as cosmopolitan
as the state of Pennsylvania itself.
But the language, the dress and the
racial types of the early German set
tiers still hold on tenaciously. and It
is we'll for Lancaster county that the
spirit Of the first corners Is still the
spirit of the community. The wealth
of the community, the fields cultivated
like gardens, the houses as neat and
clean from cellar to garret as mirrors.
and the people, quiet, peaceful. thrifty
and abounding In business ability and
useful energy. are the heritages Of old
Hans Herr and his fellow-pilgrims.
Today the descendants Of the little
band which Hans Herr led to the new
world number $4,000.

PUTS THE ISSUE sQUARELY
Col. Roosevelt Sets Forth the Position
Of the Parties on the Tariff
Question.

Ex-President Roosevelt gave the Re-
publican tariff doctrine in his St
Louis speech as follows:
Now, my friends, one of the ques-
tlons about which there has been
much discussion the last year or so Is
the tariff, and it seems to me that.
IRON our standpoint, from the Repub-
lican standpoint, the issue is much
clearer than some people would have
US believe. l cheerfully admit that
there was a time when, If our oppo-
nehts had acted with reasonable wis
dom they might have caused US some
trouble; but they proved worthy of
the trust that we have had in them.
and they did not act with reasonable
wisdom, they let the opportunity go
oy, and now l think matters have
cleared SO that we can state our posi-
ton in way that will entitle US not
only TO the support of all the mem
oers OF our own party, but to the sup
port of all independent and progress
| siye citizens
Ihe Republican party is united on
the doctrine officially set forth In its
national platform two years ago. that
the tariff shall be such as substantial
ly to equalize the cost of production
here and abroad. AS the cost of pro-
| duction is labor cost, this means pri-
| marily that the duties should be great
enough to continue to give our labor
ing men that higher standard Of liv-
ing which primarily distinguishes the
AVDp,N wi, Al
worker of other and less fortunate
| countries. Now. not only is this the
doctrine of the Republican party. but
l believe it is the doctrine of the over
whelming majority of the American
people. If our opponents do not be-
lieve that l most earnestly hope they
| will make the fight squarely on that
| issue"

Why Democratic suceess7

Democratic success cannot come
through any exploitation of Democrat
ic action; 1t cannot come through any
reference to what the Democratic par
ty did the last time 1t was In power;
1t cannot come through any promises
that the Democratic platform has
made for the future, for the only
promise that is made at all emphatic
by any Democratic speaker or paper
is the threat to pass through the
house a tariff for revenue only and
the people Of the country are not
ready to accept revision of that sort
The question then arises. will the
Democratic party without a record Of
anything accomplished and only with
a history that cannot be repeated, ex-
pect to be returned to power simply
because of a dissatisfaction and un-
rest that has swept over the country
because Of the higher cost of living.
when 1t can be shown beyond ques-
ton that in no way can the higher
cost of living be attributed to the last
Republican revision Of the tariff.

A Colorado Springs Company has

Salt Creek oil field near Casper to

This really Is an old time stunt, but
like many other old things has been
rejuvenated. The hostess prepares as
many cheese cloth aprons as there are
men and as many pieces Of silk or rib
bon as there are girls. When all arrive
the men are given spools OF thread
and told to find the girl who has an
apron to match 1t. In this way part
ners are chosen and the girls put on
the aprons after the men have sewed
the hens and sewed on the strings.
Allow half or three-quarters Of an
hour for this. Next the girls are Civ.
en- the necktie pieces and they are
gathered together and put through a
door. each girl having hold Of an end.
the door Is closed and the men are
to come in and take hold of an end.
When each man has an end. the door
Is opened and the girl who has hold
OF the other end must fashion neck
tie for her swain. The latter puts 1t
on and the girl puts on her apron, and
thus partners are selected for supper
or refreshments. This is a very jolly
party, adapted to private parties or
for q church social.
