THE REPUBLICAN BATTLE nv ONO

Or the campaign speeches we get only CONVERSATIONS of
those made by Roosevelt and Taft. Ohio is a big State and this
week II It's fairly plastered with spellbinders who hold forth in
every place where two and three are gathered together. In
ONO every man is a politician and every saloon, corner grocery
factory and crossroads store is a forum of debate. In his native

CHARITY THAT DOESN'T BEGIN At HOME.

n TUBERCULOSIS hospital must find a local habitaHon
IA somewhere and every community subscribes to this, but
adds the proyiso that it must be in some other town O.
village. There is no spot within miles of a human abode where
authority or philanthropy can propose to care for the unfor-
Inmates of society. infected either physically or morally. without
arousing the shrieks of that locality. There is nothing so selfish
as coWardice, unless it be property interest. But it is surprising
to find the clergy, who preach the gospel of charity. with the
Good Samaritan as their fayorite text, leading the fight TO deny
a place TO a humane institution. Norris county pastors who
are trying TO prevent The establishment of a county sanitarium
for consumptives near Morris Plains are probably among those
who have told their focks of the awful ravagPs of the white
plague and urged them to hold up the hands of those who
are trying TO stamp it out by modern methods of sanitation and
ISOLATION But they don't want that sort of charity to begin
anywhere near home.

w counting any of the contested delegates, Roosevelt as
serts that he now has 500 out of the 53S necessary to
