RUNNING ON THE TAFT TICKET
Roosevelt Says Those Who Do so Are
Unfit To Associate with Honest
Men.

Theodore Roosevelt saw a man in the

Mr. Roosevelt denominstes Mr.. Taft

tiers OF Calhoun county request

in the State Legislature at its
next session to enact q law re-
curing some state right in this
immense wealth, before it falls
into the hands of private specula-
tors. thereby providing a general
means of support for the public
schools, and roads of the state
without increasing the present
rates of school lives on the over
burdened tax payers OF the STATE.
The need of good roads is prac-

need of self governing, efficient

whole state. therefore let us give
this question our harmonious
support, with the hope of accom-
pllshlng something, and we shall
not utterly fail.

We believe in changing the
public school text books when
such changes are calculated to
enhance the efficiency of the pub
lie schools. but we do insist that
a great hardship is imposed up
on the parents OF school children

law. Under this law it was or
will be necessary for every par
ent to furnish Lis children with
an entirely new set Of text books,

taken into consideration. the
amount Of money that is for

moua.

Rssurreetion of the Pia.

Boys and girls essays are so remark able sometimes as to suggest the con scious cleverness of the adult. Here is one pure and unadulterated, sent in for the children's essay competition in connection with the Darwin agricultur- al show. Probably you think you know something of the pig already. It will be instructive exercise to fill out your knowledge of this animal from this es say For the pig to die'' i've are in formed 'is to- be born again to a sphere of, greater utility. When we get out of bed in the morning we brush our hair and clothes with its bristles for our breakfast we have crisp, sa- vory piece of bacon. When we arrive home for our dinner we find some ten der chops awaiting us, and when we go back to work we feel as strong as Jack Johnson. On our arrival home to tea we find some pork sausages friz- zling in the pan, and we have our supper of cold sausages, which per haps disturbs our sleep. And we dream of bacon, pork chops and sausages, and the cause of all this is the pig."-Dun- dee Advertiser.

UNCLE JOE CANNON
 GETS SARCASTIC ON
 BRYAN'S WARNING

Washington. Dec. 27-w.J. Bryan's editorial declaration against seniority rule in the Senate was discussed with interest at the capitol, today. Senator Gore, of Oklahoma declared that proper instrumentalities would be given in Congress to carry out in creasing progressiveness of the Dem Hoeratfc party"
 Senator Crawford, of South Dakota, declared the present Senate plan of selecting committee chairman or ac- count of seniority of service prevent ed friction although often it placed heavy responsibilities on men too old to bear them.
 Uncle Joe'' Cannon waxed sarcas- tic when Bryan's name was mention ed. 'Let me see,'' he asked, ..ls Bryan member of the next House? Oh. yes, remember. Well, as MT. Bryan appears to be the strongest factor in Democratic affairs, the Dem oerats might wait for his direction on all matters. He can decide them. won't I'm not Democrat and sug- gesuons from me are out of place."

An old man, evidently a strfk- CT, who looked rather seedy and down at the heel, went upsto trio of young strikers who were standin~ at the cor ner of the street and asked if one of them could lend him a match.

FiIino an Alibi.

Parson Whites precautionary meas ure of protecting his chicken coop with chilled steel bars was futile, for that very night four more of his choice Leghorns disappeared, leaving the sev- cred bars as the only visible evidence of the theft. However, his suspicious pointed toward his next door neigh Dor, whom he had seen prowling around his yard that day, and accord ingly he had this suspect up in the po- lice court the next morning.
 ''If the prisoner can file an alibi I'll let him off with a suspended sentence" announced the judge at the end of the evidence. Gan you file an aI1o1' Ham?'
 'tI guess I can," eagerly rejofned the suspect, If it ain't any harder den Pahson Whites chicken coop bars."- San Francisco Star.

The Hotel Hoodoo Room.

"We used to have a room in the old Fifth Avenue hotel that was known as the suicide room,'' said former clerk. "Of course the name was an office se- cret, but whenever one of us rented that room to a stranger we never felt quite comfortable about him until aft CT he had left the hotel. Now that the old hotel is gone there can be no harm in mentioning that the number of the room was 569 don't see. how even the most superstitious person could get hoodoo out of that number, and nobody ever refused to take it so far as I know, but it is fact that of the twenty-five suicides that took place an the Fifth Avenue hotel during fifty years, seventeen occurred in room 569. The last that took place was that of a young woman. who drowned herself in a bathtub. You will find that in any big hotel that has been running for any length of time there is room that has q hoodoo of some kind on it." New York Sun.
