Result in Maine and Vermont Point
to a Roosevelt Victory.

In speaking Of the result in the
two States where elections have been
held this fall, the Shelby, n. c., High
lander, an independent paper, says:
Maine and Vermont, with their
early September State elections, have
often been considered barometers of
national politics. The rise and fall
of the Republican majority in Yer
mont was supposed to indicate wheth-
er the Democrats or Republicans were
to carry the nation. And the Re-
publicans have long been accustomed
to say: AS goes Maine, so goes the
nation If the latter be taken as
gospel truth, the Progressivism is to
sweep the nation this fall, for the
Roosevelt Republicans in Maine out

Indians and the Shakers.
(Husum, Wash, Dispatch.)

Timothy George" an Indian
rancher living near here, is an en-
thusiastic exponent of a religious sect
called the Shakers" The order was
founded in Olympia some seventeen
years ago, and now several Indian
tribes throughout the Northwest
have become Shakers. One redeem
ing feature of the order is that a
member does not drink. smoke or use
profane language. The Yakima In
dams boast of over 500 members be-
longing to the order, while the
Klickitas In this county include sixty
members.
When asked what composed the
virtues of the Shaker creed, Timothy
George replied, with much waving of
the arms:
I'VE all good Indians Help one
another. When one sick we all shake
his hands. Shake all the time until
he gets well. No medicine. We also
shake hands with each other when
some one sick. That makes him we'll.
We take care of family when some
one sick. All good Indians"

that votes of various counties, notably

(From the Tarboro Southerner)
1t is not solely, nor even chiefly
because Mr.. Roosevelt is heading it
that the movement is important; it
is because whatever friend or enemy
may think of the Progressive leader,
the fact remains that throughout the
country scores and hundreds of lead
ing men whose ability, sincerity and
patriotism, the most bigoted partisan
would hardly dare deny have enlist
ed under the Bull Moose flag. And
behind them stand thousands Of vot-
ers so ardent in the Progressive cause
that their early meetings in enthusi-
asm and emotion partook more of
the character of a crusade than of
the ordinary political convention. J..
For many years the Democratic
party will doubtless claim the votes
of majority Of Southern white men;
yet if this progressive movement re-

In declining to issue a temporary

said that such an act. without full &C

against Senator H. N. Pharr, yester-
day threw his allegiance and fnfiu-
ence, as well as his promised vote

For freedoms cause and honest laws
Unfurl the peoples banner.

Sounds SO fresh and hearty;
