The recent utterances of The
Roosevelt at Chicago are not calcu-
lated to cause old line Republicans
to fall over themselves getting in
line with the Progressives. His state
ment that mo man can be Republi-
can and be honest, is enough to dis
gust any fair-minded man with any
person who will give utterance to
sucn a thought, and if he continues
his assinine performance and state
ments he will make impossible the
re-uniting of the two wings of the
old party. There are many Republf-
cans who would have affiliated with
the Progressive idea and party had
it not been for the dominance of that
party by Roosevelt and he is chiefly
the cause of the election of Demo-
cratic President, and mis- present at
titude, if maintained, will be the
means of a continuance Of Demo-
cratic control of the national ad-
ministration.

Some of the so-called Progressive

howl about President Taft making d
large list of appointments, these ed

1t is very likely the new President
will have all he wants to do in the
way of appointments, anyway, and
President Taft probably feels that he

One day we had been out all OF the
afternoon. Dorothy had selected
twenty dolls, and in retrospect view
ed my own meager childhood and
fancied what such glorious after
noon would have meant to me, but the
child appeared even more listless
than usual. Feeling rather anxious,
took her temperature, gave her some
stimulating nourishment and asked
her to get into my lap while / read
to her.
Dorothy had the beautiful old-young
manners in which the little children
Of the rich are drilled, and always
treated me with careful consideration
and politeness, regardless of her own
wishes. Obediently she climbed into
my lap, put her head against my
shoulder, and I began to read aloud
a wonderful Christmas tale. We are
all of us children at Christmas and I
found enjoyment in the story. Dor
othy was very quiet, and as turned a
page looked down to see if she had
fallen asleep. To my CONSERVATION,
the wide blue eyes were brimming
with tears, fast overlooking and rum
ming down the child's white cheeks.
AS I dropped the book and clasped
her closely in my arms she gave wax
to conyulsiye sobs.
