There have been times when it was
expressed that we were merely bolting
faction of one OF the old parties and
would attempt to fuse again with that
party We will not. In this party organi-
cation of ours. ex-democrats and ex-re-
n,iblicans stand alike. Both of the old
parties represented the same privileges
and both of them stand on the vital is
sues of the day, shoulder to shoulder, side
by side, and it is our business to show the
people that they are simply deluded when
they are privileged to vote under either
of the old PARTIES.

which they vote for. AS long as they con-

casting their votes against their own in

combination between privilege in poll
tics and privilege in business"
Continuing, Col. Roosevelt declared that
he was IN the ranks as a man and not as
a leader. He said he hoped that In no

Small Merchant In Conjunetiea With
Country Editor Could Mako

There are many country merchants
who see their trade gradually slipping

the channel of the mail order trade,
says MaXwells Talisman.
There are many country editors who
see the prosperity of their towns de-
pleted and circulation and advertiser.
income reduced for the same reason.
There are very few, however, who
realize that their problem is n NATIONAL
one and that 1t is wrapped up in and u
part Of the great fundamental question
whether this nation shall be perpctu-
ated or shall he destroyed by the phys
ical degeneration of humanity. the 70
cial unrest. industrial discomfort, moral
and political corruption and class ha-
tired bred in the city slums and tene-
ments and certain to eliminate In an
archiStic crimes, riotOuS mobs and all
destroying social upheavals as the re-
suit of some long continued period of
industrial and commercial depression.
The fact is that the upbuilding of
the country town and suburban village
us an antidotc and safeguard against
the poisonous social. moral. physical
and political consequences, Of herding
millions of our working people together
in the unnatural congested life of the
tenements is the one great question
that rises above all others in impor-
tance as a problem that this nation
must solve. Unless ii does solve 1t. it
will suffer death from human degener-
acy-the fate Of so many nations and
civilizations that have risen in the past
only to be destroyed. Ours will be like
wise destroyed unless we take heed in
time.
Then comes the question Of the
growth Of towns and villages. There
is where the country editors and mer-
chants can help themselves. Once get
1t into the minds Of the whole Ameri-
can people that the salvation Of the ma
tion depends on the upbuilding of the
country towns and suburban villages
get the idea planted and deeply rooted
so 1t will grow itself-and thousand
influences will enter the field and enlist
for this great campaign forsrural and
country town and village development
to check the ovcrgrowth of cities, with
all its resultant evils.
Every country editor and country
merchant should be a leader in the
movement in his locality.

nnlu lrWlN, young HILL Jusl out
of college and of IA reckless dis
position, was going to his home In
San Francisco. On the train was Miss
Estelle Cleveland Of the same city,
girl graduate Of a young ladies' board
ing school in New Haven. Miss Cleve-
land was about to set sail on life's
ocean as woman, with colors flying,
and was ready to be unconventional
on occasion. Irwin, who was seated
across the aisle. offered her a novel to
read. 1t was accepted, but not read.
1t was not expected that it would be
read. Both knew that it was to pave
the way to more pleasant passing OF
the time and acted accordingly. In
ten minutes they were chatting Slibly
and in half an hour knew great deal
about each other.
Day after day passed pleasantly.
When they reached the mountains, Ir-
win, who had grown covetous of kiss
from his companions dewy lips, was
reckless enough to yield to the tempta-
ton. Learing from the conductor the
location of tunnel they We're ap-
preaching, he waited till the train was
within mile of it, then told Miss
Cleveland that he was going into the
smoker. AS soon as the train entered
the tunnel he return ed, located his seat
by his belongings, and, knowing pre-
cisely the position of Miss Cleveland,
snatchcd kiss. There was Il stitied
hnn oil h,,
again still. Irwin returned to the
smoker.
Half an hour later he sauntercd lazi-
ly into the car, casting Il frightened
glance at the girl he had kissed. She
was immersed in the novel he had lent
her, but upon his remarking upon the
beauty of the scenery she dropped the
book and Joined him in admiring the
view. Irwin wondered if she would
tell him of the insult that had been Of
fered her, but she did not After all
what good would it do? And maideuly
reserve naturally forbade it.
Irwin and Miss Cleveland met often
in society the next winter in San Fr,n-
cisco. Irwin grew more and more ot.

him considerable encoura cement Ru+

ed. His sister denied repeating the
story, and Irwin gave up trying to find
out how it had reached Miss Cleveland.
For months he was on the verge Of
suicide. Sensitive by nature, to be
thus truthfully accused Of insulting u
helpless girl was dreadful. Besides,
he had realized that after all he loved
Miss Cleveland, and this made 1t mad
dening.
Finally he met Miss Cleveland at a
ball. He had lost twenty pounds Of
flesh, and naturally the lady noticed
his altered appearance, especially the
hungry look he gave her. She nodded
to him, he Joined her, and they re-
tired to deserted corner.
After the interview Irwin was a
changed man. He picked up the flesh
he had lost, his eye resumed its ac-
customed brightness, and he appear
ed more cheerful than ever before. He
told his sister that he had been for
given for his sin, which Miss Cleve-
land had shown him was unpardon-
able. Therefore she was the loveliest
of women since she had pardoned him.
Gradually he was permitted to renew
his attentions to the woman he had
wronged and, at last was emboldened
to propose for her hand. Miss Cleve-
land cast him back into the slough of
despond by telling him that, though
she had pardoned him, she never could
marry a man who had committed such
an offense.
Irwin hung about Miss Cleveland,
pining, hoping against hope, now re-
ceiving slight encouragement, only to
receive a setback at their next meet
ing. Between them that kiss in the
tunnel loomed up bIacker. If that could

changed her manner to him and gave
him to understand that episode was

thanked her and in time humbly re-
newed his request that she should
snare him n life of misery by becoming
his wife. This time she assented.
Mr.. and Mrs. Irwin had come to the
buludrum of life. Kisses were so plen'
tiful that the husband wondered how
be could have resorted to a tunnel to
get one.
