Third Term or Bu'st.

Through period of more than
fifty years the Republican party
has stes.i for certain ideals in popu-
lar government. Upon these ideals,
practically applied, the country has
developed and prospered amazing
lv. The mission of the Republican
party has not been fulfilled. 1t will
reorganize-it will regain what has
been lost. It will certainly not lose
its identity or sacrifice the integ-
rity of its ideals and aims by being
absorbed into a frantic new party
movement, having for it's main pur-
pose the election of a self-seeking
aspirant to a third term in the
Presidency.
The Theodore Roosevelt conven-
ton which assembled in Chicago
stands for nothing which can appeal
to the sound common sense of those
who, in the past, have been affili-
ated as Republicans. 1t is now,
more than ever, apparent that the
movement sustaining the candidacy
Of Roosevelt in the last electoral
campaign was fostered and promot-
ed by small bunch of millionaires;
men who, almost without exception
are directors or large stockholders
in the trusts, against which Roose-
welt, in his office-seeking pose, con
tinued to rail. Theodore Roosevelt
and his hackers succeeded in split
ting and defeating the Republican
party. The third-term proposition
will never be put over-never again

j Let Father Pay The Difference.

Recently number of marriagable
girls in Chicago formed an organiza-
ton which they named Young
Woman's $1,000 Club" the object
of which was to pledge themselves
not to marry man who made less
than $1,000 a year. The Young
Mems Christian Association of that
city has made reply to the PROPOSE
ton by favoring Let Father Pay
the $4,000"
Resolutions were drawn up set
ting forth that it was agreed that
1t was impossible to meet the de-
mands of the average wife on an
income less than the figure named,
and setting forth the mems posi-
ton as follows:
"This Club demands that in
cases where parents have trained
their girls to need $1,000 a year
on which to live, the parents be re-
quired to pay the amount to their
sons-in-law, who, marrying the girls,
must shoulder the consequences of
such training"
There are at this time, in all
sections of the country, many girls
who forget that father started his
career on only a few hundred dol
lars a year, and, that the wealth
that he has accumulated came as
the result of the economies prac-
ticed by him and their mother; they
never dream that there was time
when father was just as poor as
some of their unfortunate friends.

Mrs. Miles and her children were
in bed and Mr.. Miles was about to
retire when he detected smoke. Go

In the meantime Charles Weir, a
