MUST BE NO STRADDLE
Organization VIII Be Perfected
Where State Committees Are Con-
trolIed by Taft Men,

Cleveland, O., June 25-A new
party from the ground up is the
Roosevelt program. After a series
of discussions with his lieutenants yes
terday before leaving Chicago, in
which there were several sharp
clashes, Col Roosevelt decided to cut
entirely away from the party with
which his whole public career has
been identified. His decision was a
disappointment to those who favor
ed the organization of what might be
considered as Independent republican
party, with which various state organ
izations might cooperate and still
maintain nominal regularity.
There must be no compromise,
no straddle," Col. Roosevelt said. As
an Indication of his determination, he
said that when he returned to Oyster
Bay he would communicate with
number of democrats, who, he
thought might wish to join the new
party. When he had left Chicago,
with the first plans completed and
his leaders scattering to all parts OF
the country, Col. Roosevelt expressed
himself as pleased with the outcome
of convention week, although it was
unexpected to him. He said the way
in which his action had been received
was encouraging and that he had a
mass of letters and kilograms from
all parts of the country, from both
democrats and republicans, Offering
support.
The Republican nomination for
president, Col Roosevelt asserted
last night, was his for the asking on
the day that President Taft was re-
nominated. He declined to accept it,
he said, on the terms under which
the offer was made. On his way

FAIR DEALING AND HONEST
MERCHANDISE.

The Famous & Barr Co. is building a
skyscraper of steel and concrete. The
building covers a city block 250x300 feet
and will be twenty-five stories high.
During the construction work, painted
on signs, is the following monumental
epitaph:
Future home of the Famous & Barr Co.
A monument to fair dealing and honest
merchandise"
Busy st. Louis crowds go by this sign
at the corner of Olive and Broadway.
Nobody stopped to read it but me. How
ever, nearly every one glanced at it as
he passed by. They saw at a glance
what was not so plain to mellow can
one get the money to build such fine
monument through any process of "fair
dealing" when to deal fair is to render
an equivalent in value in a trade.
