The Social Breakfast.

A London newspaper wonders why
we no longer invite people to break
fast. The reason is to be found In the
state of mind that usually possesses
the free and independent citizen at
that hour in the morning. state OF
mind that makes hl,c unbearable to
himself and to every one who comes
near him. Presumably It was not ever
80, for invitations to breakfast were
once common enough. and not 30 long
ago either. MIR. Gladstone used to
have guests to breakfast every Thurs
day morning rs recently as 1884. and
1t was thought sufficient to supply tea
and coffee, eggs. bread and butter and
perhaps some cold meat But the
really solid breakfast had come into
fashion long before then. and II Is
said that the English learned the fash
ion from the Scotch. Motley. when he
was ambassador to England. found
that the substantial breakfast was
grievously opposed to the simpler GUS
toms of his own country. He says,

ple would lunch at 2 and dine at

TAFT DEFINES PROGRESSIVE
In Address at New York Last
Week.
HAS LARGE PROGRAM AHEAD
Ridiculed Economy Assertions Of
Democrats.

President Taft, in an address in
New York last week, discussed the
national issues on broad lines. He
defined progressive republican as
one who recognizes existing and
concrete evils, and who is in favor Of
practical and effective steps to eradi-
cate them. He declared party Of
true progress is neither party of
radicalism nor party Of ultra con-
servatism, and he appealed for a
loyal adherence to high principle by
the party in power. Speaking Of
the tariff commission plan, he advo-
Gated that future revision Of the tariff
should be taken up schedule by
schedule.
The President did not confine him
self to an enumeration Of party
achievements but pointed out the
many problems now pressing for
solution, indicating large program
Of progressive work now in prospect.
He gave large credit to Ex- President
Roosevelt for his initiative efforts for
reformative measures both during
and since his term of Office.
The President ridiculed the asser-
ton Of the Democrats that $500, 000,-
600 would be saved in national ex-
penses each year if that party were
placed in power. He asked for a
| more definite statement Of where the
saving was to be affected and de-
manded to know if it is proposed by
the Democrats to cut off the pension
list or do away with the army and
navy.

For Appropriation.

The twelfth annual convention Of
the national guard association, which
opened at St. Louis, October 3,
recommended that congress be asked
to appropriate funds to pay salaries
to members Of the national guard
throughout the United States. The
recommendation is along the lines Of
the arguments appearing for the
past year or two in the National
Guard Magazine, and other army
publications in favor Of paying the
men for attendance at drills.
On the following day General
Wood, chief Of staff, said the war
department would approve an ap-
preparation Of S., 900, 900 or 6,0o0,'

WHY He IS FOR BRADY
Po:atello Democrat is a Strong
Enemy Of Booze


Among the Democrats who are
giving their support to Governor
Brady in this campaign is Colonel
]. M. Ingersoll, Of Pocatello. The
colonel is Democrat Of the old
school. In a published interview
he uses the following language to
express his views:
~ am lifelong Democrat who
believes that the temperance issue
in this campaign means more to
the people than all other questions
combined, consequently | am for
Governor Brady, not because he is
Republican but because he has
the manhood, courage and good
sense to make a heroic stand
against the unholy booze traffic.
He does this because he knows he
is making stand for public well
fare and so does every other man
of ordinary good sense in this state.
The booze habit makes buns,
hobos, gamblers and thieves out
of many of our young men. II
keeps all the courts Of our country
busy, it fills our county ja;!s, our
stste penitentiary, our poorhouse
and our insane asylums, and forces
all to carry burden of taxation
that does not justly belong to them.
1t makes orphans Of little children
by sending their fathers to the
gutter. 1t debauches the very
soul Of the men who are growing
rich out Of the unholy traffic"
