Why the West Is
More Progressive.

The west is more progressive
than the east. That is a COR
ceded fact, and there is a reason
for it. The vigorous and ambl-
tious young men and women of
the east became the pioneer set
tiers of the west about SO years
ago, and it is easy to understand
why their children are more
progressive than the children of
those who remained to work in
the big unhealthy factories, or
exc out an existatce on tie
stony hill sides of New Enel II d
and the Atlantic states.

LAT last Theodore Roosevelt
has thrown down the gauntlet
and is now an open aspirant for
the job in the White House.
With his candidacy assured La
Toilette, Cummins and the rest
of them will have to take a back
seat as he will be the logical
candidate of the progressives.
In this way the fight has mar
rowed down so that it is be-
tween Taft and Roosevelt,
former friends and co-workers.
If the presidential nominees
were left in the hands of the
people Roosevelt would have
the nomination easily as he has
a hold on the American peol lie
never before given a president
in the present generation but it
is claimed that "Big Business"
does not want him and what
business says seems to have a
great deal to do with politics at
the present time. One thing
about the former president,
whatever he does he thinks
he is right, and, as he is
not afraid of anything that
walks, creeps or stalks in the
night, he has the admiration of
the majority of the peoF lie.
He is independently rich so
there is no chance to say that
the money interests have him
under their thumb and as he
believes in doing things, if
elected, his administration will
go down in history as a dandy.
The American people could co
a great deal worse than elect
ing Theodore Roosevelt.

II has been truthfully said that any

least imprudence brings on sickness,
weakness, or debility. The system
needs tonic, Graves it, and should no,

plans to lengthen out the range so
that it will be possible to shoot up

joy this sport during the winter
months when it is not possible to
use the outdoor range.

all who were members of the club
last year and took part in the shoots
enjoyed the sport. They not only
increased their skill in the use OF
the rifle, but were greatly benefited
by the outdoor recreation. In anti
cipation of the good times and the
recreation that will be derived this
year. all those who desire to be-
come members Of the club are ex-
tended cordial invitation to join.
The membership fee is 81 and
Is payable to B. E. Gibson, the Sc
cretary.
