Preventative of the men elected by popu-
lar vote to stand as the heads of govern
ment in their several states to whom
Col. Roosevelts letter of February "a
was sent. l may add that l note with
pleasure your recognition of my authority
in addressing your reply to me as 'char-
man of the. Roosevelt executive COM
mfttee.'
Il cannot believe that you had any
doubt nor. in view Of what l have salo,
can you now have any doubt respecting
either the strength or the sincerity OF
the movement about Col. Roosevelt. the
republican candidate. or that you ques-
ton seriously my right to lead such a
movement The proposition [ make is
one in which the pubic is intensely IN,
terested, and involves the welfare ana
future success of the republican party.
The party must make its appeal TO the
voters after a candidate has been CHOSEN
by the national convention. and to deny
that the voters have right to particl-
pate in that selection and to elect dele
gates who will properly express their
preference is virtually to deny the basic
principle of representative government
II repeat that the people are far more
likely to elect the man for whose noml-
nation they have already voted than any
man who may be named against the pos
sible wishes of the voters

Renews His Challenge.

Il therefore renew my challenge, feel
ing confident that you will give 1t more
serious consideration than your reply of
last night indicated. Reduced to it's SIM
plest form, it is proposition that the
republican voters be given full oppor-
tunity to express their preference for
Theodore Roosevelt or Mr.. Taft, in order
that the national convention may name
the man the voters want to lead them in
the coming fight.
II seek to test and am prepared to
stand by the result. Are you?"

Convinced of Sentiment.

1.-THE only way to ascertain the views Of
the voters is by enabling their expression
in the selection of delegates to the con-
vention. Those who are working for the
nomination of Col. Roosevelt are conrinc-
ed that the overwhelming sentiment of
the republican voters is for him. If they
are mistaken, then l can see that COL
Roosevelt cannot and should not be noml-
mated.
But, as 1 am a republican, DESTROYS OF
the success of the republican party in the
coming campaign, / insist that. what IS
true with respect to Mr.. Taft. or any
other man. The real sentiment of the
party should determine who its candi.
date shall be, and the determination OF
this sentiment is as of great importance
to the party as it is to the voters, whose
rights in the matter cannot be disputed

eagerness to avoid direct answer to my
challenge you should attempt to ignore
the clear statement of his position given
by Col. Roosevelt in his note of Febru-
airy - last to the governors of the repub-
lican states of New Hampshire, West
Virginia, Kansas. Nebraska. Wyoming.
Michigan and Missouri, when he said:
One of the chief principles for which
l have stood and for which l now stand,
and which have always endeavored and
always shall endeavor to reduce to action,
is the genuine rule Of the people, and.
therefore l hope. so far as possible. the
people may be given the chance. through
direct primaries, to express their prefer
ence as to who shall he the nominee Of
the republican presidential convention.

INDIAN NAME FOR WHISKY
Called "Fire Water" Because of Their
Method OF Discovering If 1t
Was Diluted.

When the Hudon's Bay Trading
company began its trading among the
Indians it was found that by selling
the Indians liquor they could more
easily be induced to trade their pei
tries.
The first whisky or intoxlcant Of in
ferior quality was distilled n England
and brought to America H. large bar
refs, but in transporting it overland
1t was found more convenient to
divide it into small kegs.
The traders soon became aware Of
the fact that by diluting the whisky
with water more furs could be OBJ
tanned. This was practiced for some
time, but the Indians learned that
good whisky poured on fire would
cause 1t to flame up, whereas had the
whisky been diluted the fire would be
quenched. 1t was by this simple ex-
pertinent that the term fire water" be-
came common word among Indians.
A chief who had experienced the
bad effects of whisky among his peo-
pie said it was most certainly distilled
from the hearts of wildcats and the
tongues of women from the effects
it produced.-From Bonfort's Spirit
and Wine Circular.

EVIDENTLY HIS FIRST CASE
Young Attorney Considerably "Rat-

Little Laughter.

Several prominent attorneys were
discussing the peculiar and rather hui
morous questions put to witnesses by
young attorneys entering upon their

vouched for the authenticity of this in
cident:
II went up to the superior civil
court one day TO hear young friend
of mine try his first case. All his rel
atives and friends were there and the
novice wore most serious expression
as he started to question witness.
He did nicely until he asked the man:
"'Did you have contract with the
plaintiffs?
"'Yes,' replied witness.
"What kind of a contract was it?'
Gan oral one,' replied the witness.
"'Will you please produce it?'
"The witness stood stalk still star
Ing at the attorney and then looked at
the Judge, inquiringly. There was a
ripple Of laughter throughout the
courtroom, but still the young attor-
ney did not catch on and looking
toward the judge, remarked:
"'Your honor, ask you to give the
witness until two O'Clock to produce
that contract
"The court could not longer with
mold and joined in the laughter. Then
the young lawyer saw his mistake and
with REDEEMED face also had good
laugh"
