ROOSEVELT AND
REPUBLICANISM

During the long warm campaign
preceding the Chicago convention
Mr.. Roosevelt never once in all his
speeches gave word of praise to
any of the leaders of the Republican
party. except himself. He denounc-
ed in vilest language nearly every
man prominent in the affairs OF the
party. He never once referred to
any of the ACHIEVEMENTS of the Re-
publican party during the past half
century in which its achievements in
! the way of building great nation
creating n world power and placing
these United States In the front rank
of nations have no parallel in all his
tory. He promulgated lot of polit-
ical doctrine calculated to appeal To
the public In an infiamed state of
mind and which had never received
the sanction of the Republican party.
1t was peculiarly Rooseveltion doc
trine and is no measure of Republi-
canism. Republicanism has stood,
and continues to stand for the best
thought an action of the nation. Its
past record is one of which the Ma
tion is well proud. 1t has been a
constructive party of necessity as 1t
has had control of the Government
since 1851, except the eight years of
Clevelandism. Being delegated with
the responsibility of Government 1t
has produced the results and can
show the goods. 1t does not ask its
followers to accept its doctrines dur
ing the heat ofargument. Itappeals
to every thoughtful man that 1t has
never shirked its duty, even when
forced to that extreme necessity of
kicking Theodore Roosevelt out as a
disturber of the peace. Should the
voters In q frenzy of passion defeat
the Republican party this fall the
party can well afford to go to its de-
feat for the standard it has maintain
ed and will continue to maintain.
The voters twice have defeated the
Republican party and tried two four
years terms Of such conditions that
they were more than willing to re-
instate the Republican party, the
party OF achievement and action.
Roosevelt does not represent Repub-
lican principles and does not belong
In the Republican party. He himself
realizes that fact and decamps to his
own tent to organize his bull moose
party.--Gooding Leader.

ALASKA MAN TALKS
OF THAT COUNTRY

A. HI. Hansen left Wednesday
evening for his home at Fairbanks,
Alaska, after weeks visit with his
mother, Mrs. James o. Brown. Mr..
Hansen, who is connected with the
United States MarshaPs office has
been a resident of Alaska for the
past IL years, and thinks it is the
best country on earth. Fairbanks is
city of 5000 inhabitants, but within
radius of 40 miles of the city there
is population of about 5000, which
makes it quite trading point. The
town is up-to-date in every respect.
1t has excellent public schools, three
newspapers, and an electric light and
telephone system. Living is rather
high there as compared with this
county. Flour is 50 per hundred,
sugar IL cents pound, eggs $1.5O per
dozen, butter rs cents per pound, po-
tatoes 12i cents per pound, and other
items in proportion. While the sea-
sons are short, Mr.. Hansen says they
raise such garden truck there as pt-
tatoes, cabbage peas, beans, beets
and cauliflower.
The winters, of course, are quite
severe, altho last winter was
an unusually mild one, the cold
est being so below zero. However,
the people there think nothing of
making extended trips with dog
teams In the coldest weather. Mr..
Hansen said he made 40-mile trip
with a dog team one day last winter
with the mercury lowering near 80
below zero and did not suffer from
the cold. The moral conditions in
Fairbanks, he says, are very good
Altho the town has Is saloons, which
pay an annual license of $1,000 each,
there is very little rowdyism. Slot
machines and all kinds of gambling
are prohibited in the town.

MANY FOREIGNERS
IN new YORK CITY

New York, July l.-Statistics
Just collected here reveal the start
ling fact that in few more years if
the present rate of foreign immigra-
tlon continues, New York actually
will cease to be an American city TO
the extent it's native-born population
will be in an actual minority. AL
ready 40 per cent of the total popu-
latlon is of foreign birth and the
proportion is steadily increasing.
An analysis of the racial elements
composing this vast cosmopolitan
population reveal some surprising
facts. One OF the most striking of
these is that the metropolis is being
rapidly Russlanlzed. Former SUBJ

more than third of that of Moscow.

To make the existing slump more
remarkable these two nations led all

the immigrant to remain in New
York is shown by the fact that at
present the city has IA per cent of
the entire foreign-born population
Of the United States. Apparently
the Dutch are pretty well satisfied
with their own eoutry, since ls9 of
them are included in the city's ros-,

changing complexion of the foreign

but most graphically perhaps by
the predominance of the leading

street cars.

NO REASON FOR BLINKERs
Tens Of Thousands Of Horses Are Now
Working Satisfactorily Without
Them.

It is said that the use OF blinkers.
or blinders, as they are called in this
country, had its origin In the desire
of certain fashionable folks for a con-
venient place to display the family
crest OF course, the common excuse
is that they keep the horse from shy
ing.
There is no reason why horses
should wear blinkers." says a writer
in the Bulletin of the s. P. C. A. This
is shown by the fact that there are
tens Of thousands of horses working
satisfactorily without them, not only
In private carriages. but In cabs, vans
and am5ulances and in towns where
the traffic is thickest.
mo riding horse Is ever seen with
blinkers; they would be considered to
look ridiculous with them: the draft
horses In the army do not wear them,
and the large brewers and the chief
railway companies have long ago dis
pensed with them.

Notwithstanding that Ed Ricl
had repeatedly declared that he wal
mot candidate and had requested
bis friends not to nominate him, hi,
nomination was filed for senator
and 1T was only after earnest per-
suasion upon the part of some ol
his democratic friends that he de
cided to- let his name remian on the
ticket.
For representatives, the demo.
Gratis filed the nominations of Ola
Franstrum of St. Charles and DIR.
of Poynter of Montpelier. The
later has declined the nomination
and we understand that George
Hall of Raymond, will be placed
on the ticket today to fill the va
cancy.
The Office of sheriff appears to be
the most popular one In this coun-
~, as the republicans have five
candidates and the democrats three,
and not one of the eight had to be
coaxed to get in the race.
The office of treasurer is also
looked upon with favor as the re-
publicans have three and democrats
two aspirants for the nomination.
At late hour J. III. DEMO decided
to make the race again for the nomi-
nation for probate Judge. Joe re-
ceived the largest number of first
choice votes two years ago, but was
defeated in the close finish by J. IL.
Grimmett, whose first and second
choice combined, gave him the
nomination. Mr. Grlmmett has
filled the Office very credltably and
the race between these two will no
doubt again be close one.
Henry Hoff is the only one of the
present board of commissioners who
is seeking n renomlnation. How
ever, two other democrats In the
Third district are in the race for
the nomination.
Two former members of the board
are seeking the nomination on the
republican ticket. They are E NJ.
Alfred in the First district and
Philemon Lindsay in the Second
district.
Gus Spongberg has opposition for
the nomination in the Third district.

will be three cornered one on the
