where the candidates of the Social
ist party for president and vice pres

The only party that has moral
right to appeal to the working class
in this campaign is the Socialist
party. The other parties represent
only three divisions of the same cap

funds from the same sources. they

William Howard Taft is a more or

Woodrow Wilson personally is a
mild hammered gentleman, nothing
about him to offend. But politically
he has nothing TO say for himself.
Politically he is the kidglove OF the

fact that it was good advertising, but
suggested that the board OF trade

PRESIDENT WELL GUARDED

At no other time is the president pro
tected more carefully than on New
Years day in his own house. 1t is re-
allied that when such Il multitude is
assembled for the distribution Of good
cheer some crank might take advan-
tage Of the opportunity.
Accordingly, when the gates are
opened for the public soon after noon,
detectives are stationed ut various
places around the grounds and in the
White House. The chief of the. detec-
tive bureau himself usually stands at
the presidents side. safeguarding his
person.
Nobody is permitted to stay more
than Il moment. AS 0 as the presi-
dent shakes a hand the person is ha>ti-
~ moved ahead and another takes his
place. President Roosevelt was the
master handsilaker. He manageu to
sweep through Il crowd of G.0O0 per-
sons in quite Il bit less than an hour
at Il like reception.
At about . O'Clock the gates are clos
ed. and a large part of the crowd. who
arrived too late and occupied the tail
of the line. finds itself barred out.
This year being exceptional in many
ways principally because it is the end
Of President Taft's term as well as

fair to rival previous functions of the

LEGEND OF Pixies PEAK.
Indian Tale Which Recounts Origin of
This Mountain.

ms Mountain.
Pixies peak. one of Americas nature
wonders, stirred the fancy of the IN
dian mind, which was ever ready to
ascribe to all natural wonders q super
natural origin. They tell this beauti-
full story of how Pixies peak came into
existence, says the New York sun:
once upon a time the lesser spirits
of the world caused the great Missis-
sippi river to overflow its banks in or
der to destroy mankind. whom they
found troublesome and wished to wipe
out of existence. From the food they
carried away with them some earth
and some grains of maize in order to
build 4 new world and SOW new fields
Of corn. Away they flew with their
burden to the very gates Of heaven.
But, alas. he greater spirits would not
let them IN. Drop their burden they
must. So they let it fall. and where
the earth fell Pixies peak now stands.
Not all the men persisted through the
great |lHulualloH OF the MISSISSIPPI,
for the lesser spirits defeated their
own purpose Of destroying the human
race. Now and then they dropped
grains Of maize, which. as the legends
tell, are the shooting stars. and. 10 and
behold. some of these took root and
f1ourlShed. one man in the flood did
not perish. He and his wife ate of the
maize, grew wise and knew how to
keep themselves above water. They

leaving two children. who we're cared
for and reared by the greater spirits.
When they grew up they founded the
race of Indians called the Aztecs.
Before these children could come
down to the earth and inhabit the
plains the great floods had to be remoy-
ed. So the greater spirits sent down
the thirst dragon to drink up the wa
tiers. He drank and drank so much
that the earth WAS in danger of becom-
Ing a dry desert. The greater spirits
then recalled him As the dragon at
tempted TO enter heaven he slipped and
fell and today is seen as the Cheyenne
