THE REAL PURPOSE OF RoosE.
vElTISM

Not even the most enthusiastic SUD.
porter OF Col. Roosevelt's cause pre-
tends TO believe that there is a chance
OF Col. Roosevelt's election to the
presidency. The rapidly waning in
terest in Rooseveltism has long since
dispelled any idea OF Roosevelt's sue
cess at the pools.
Why then the Roosevelt movement ?
Why then the Progressive party?
Why then the appeal especially to
Republicans?
Just one thought inspires the Roose-
Welt propaganda. Just one motive is
back OF the noisy. disgusting and
hlthy campaign that has been waged
in behalf OF the third term candidate.
That motive seeks the defeat OF VIM.
II. Taft and the Republican party at
any cost. Its purpose is not 10 elect
Theodore Roosevelt. The time has
long since passed when that could
have been possible. Its purpose is 10
defeat the national Republican party.
10 bring about the election OF a Demo
crat 10 the presidency; 10 overthrow
the present dominant organization in
the country.
Let Republicans understand this
thoroughly. and understanding it. they
will make the proper answer 10 the
demagogues who, with specious ap.
peals and fair promises. seek 10 mis-.
lead them TO their own destruction.

ADDITIONAL LOCAL.

Tom Seaton, the Delta county
boy who occupies the center slab
for the Philadelphia Nationals, is
evidently holding himself in good
condition and putting much mys-
terry in his curves. for in three in
ldngs against Cincinnati last Fri
day he allowed but two hits. The
Cincinnati bo.s are known slug
gers, and to hold them down in
such way is certainly making
good. The team as whole is not
making much of a showing, but 1t
seems to be no fault ofTom's
In this section it is rare that
steady summer weather fails to be-
gin with the last days of May or
first days of June. In this connec-
ton there is but one apprehension
this season-flooded streams. So
far the spring has been SO back ward
that there has been little melting
of snow in the mountains and the
amount of snow is much greater
than usual. A sudden change to
summer heat must be expected to
cause very high waters in both the
Gum son and UncomI ahgre.
1t Is announced that at a meet
ing of the board of directors of the
Missouri Pacific and Rio Grande
system held in New York this week
the Gould and other big interests
showed their confidence in the eff
cient management of President Bush
and the future prosperity of the
ket mortgage for $200,0OO.0O0 on
those roads. The proceeds from the
sale of bonds under the deed of
trust are to be used to pay off all
outstanding obligations and restor-
ing the whole property to good con
dition. This will be the second
largest mortgage ever issued by an
American railroad.
