India or rubber plants in Mexico. or
how the Eskimo drives his dog. The
name Of the paper that is to circui-
ate it is printed across the top and
1t is shipped fresh and crisp to the
publisher to be folded in as part
OF his regular edition. 1t is given
to him absolutely free with the ex-
press and dray charges paid to his
door, and he uses his own mailing
list and his own paper as the carrier
to get it to the readers for the ac-
commodation Of the advertising
agency.
The graft is being worked on the
unwary publishers of country news
papers who are led. to believe that it
will build up their circulation and
make their own publication better
advertising medium, but local ad-
vertisers are quick to see that II
people take the local paper to get
the supplement, the former is used
for kindling first, and has little value
to advertisers.
When the publisher finds out how
beautifully he has been taken in, it
10 embarrassing for him to quit, for
he has already announced with some
degree of braggadocia how he has
enlarged his paper by the addition
of this supplement- filled with good
live matter, and commended it to the
careful consideration Of his readers
He has patted himself on the back
for his enterprise in adding this fea.-
ture "at no little expense to the Of
fice," but now he remembers that
he signed up an ironclad agreement
to circulate the supplement free Of
charge for one year, and he is oh
liged to 60 on paying the postage
and run the risk of being sued for
damages for letting the supplements
lie dead in the package when he has
bound himself to deliver them. About
the only thing The can do is to say
he likes it and keep on blowing about
the volume Of his paper. even though
it fails to impress his readers.

straight away from the candle. Any
way his attempts will be very funny
indeed as he puffs out his cheeks and
blows probably in the wrong direction
and they will cause much merriment
among the other children Another
way of playing this candle game is to
use one of the tiny unburnable Christ
mas trees which ire to be found In the
stores now Very small colored can
dies are fastened to the tree and
lighted. and one child holds it while a
second blindfolded child tries to see
how many candle flames he can blow

fastened with pins to Il holly wreath
so that they stand upright las the
wreath lies upon table. AS in the
case Of the tiny Christmas tree the
blindfolded child tries to blow out the
flames of as many candles as possible
A prize for the most successful blower
will add to the fun Of these candle
games.

TEST OF SINCERITY

At the meeting of the Republican
County Central Committee held at
the Commercial Club Rooms last
Saturday in conjunction with the
county officials elect, the watchword
Of economy was agreed upon as the
paramount question" and at tn,
meeting of tax payers held at the
same place on Tuesday evening,
conceded that economy was neces-
sary for the immediate future and a
committee was appointed to ascer-
tain why taxes are so high.
Now comes test of sincerity that
we shall look upon with more than
casual interest. People have been
agitating for good roads, and the pre-
sent Democratic county administra-
ton have built more roads and re-
paired more bad spots and bad Gull
verts that were in sore need of at
tention than appeared to have ever
been done before. In the matter of
the Tilden Bridge they seem to sand
appalled, at the problem The coun-
ty clerks office with Democratic
working force has been conducted
with rare industry and attention to
duty and the head of the force at
least will hold over The office of
probate Judge has been filled by a
Democrat who is probably as well
qualified as anyone else who sought
the place.
What Will be Done?
Will the non-partisan committee
render report free from political
bias?
Will people rise above party lines
and say that when they got good
roads and repairs and protected Gull
verts they got just what they had
been yelling for?
Will the folks who insist upon hav-
ing the Tilden Bridge repaired re-
CARELESS of expense, complain of
high taxes when they receive their
notices.?
Will the Republican board of COM
missioners be pleased to see the same
competent Democratic deputy retain
ed in the clerks office?
Will the same board encourage tho
Republican Probate Judge elect to
return and qualify to succeed the
present Democratic encumbent just
because he is a Democrat?
Will the Republican Central Com
mittee court the expense and possible
strife that might easily accompany
the effort to have Republican fill
the office of Probate Judge?
Do we maintain strong political
parties in order that we may have
good government, or is good govern
ment maintained in order that we
may have strong political parties?
When this last question is answered
and agreed upon 1t will classify all
the rest and the course will be clear.

THE FIGHT WILL GO oN."
Roosevelt Says "the Cause Will Tri-
 umph in the End"

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Nov. 6.-Colonel Roosevelt surveyed the field of battle today and gathered as much of the story of yesterdays defeat as he could piece together His heutenants in each state wired to him their reports. in many cases incomplete, and tonight Colonel Roosevelt was still in doubt as to just what the progressive party had been able to accomplish in it's first campaign.
 There, was nothing of the aspect of a beaten general and no hint of defeat in his manner. He smiled as easily and told sortes as gaily as before, and apparentlyNWas enjoying life thorough ly today. Colonel Roosevelt said he wants to tell his supporters everywhere what he thinks of the outcome and the outlook. The only eason that he did not do so tonight was thath he had not the facts at hand.
 T want to find out just where we stand first" he explained "The re- turns are far from complete. For in- stance, saw in an afternoon paper that Mir. Wilson had carried Minneso- ta, and I have just received a telegram saying that I carried it. I don't know which is correct. And I wish also to hear more fully from the south. When
 
 make statement"
 The only thing which was accepted as fact at Sagamore Hill today was that the fight was to go on. What methods Colonel Roosevelt will adopt are unknown, even to himself
 "Of course the fight will go on," he said, with an air of finality. Tn the end the cause must triumph
 Close friends of Colonel Roosevelt said he was not surprised at Governor Wilson's election, because he was at no time confident, they asserted, that the new party would be able to win it's first fight. The showing which the party made, his friends said, had pleased rather than disappointed its leader.
 Several progressive leaders came to Oyster Bay to talk over the election and the plans for the future. Governor Hiram w. Johnson and Clifford and Amos Pinchot of New York spent an hour at Sagamore Hill late ir the aft ernoon and tonight George w. Perkins Frank A. Munsey and H. L. Stodacd motored down from New York. Neith- CT Colonel Roosevelt nor his visitors would discuss their plans. When he goes to his editorial office in New York on Friday he is to hold another conference, at which time some definite arrangements for keeping up the pro- gressive campaign may be made. It is Colonel RooseVelt's desire tc have a vacation from politics after these plans have been decided upon although he expects to keep constantly in touch with the general aspects o1 the situation. It is hoped to carry for ward some kind of progressive propa- ganda throughout the next two years with an eye to the Congressional and state elections in 1914, for the party leaders decided. at once that the futur: of the organization would depend largely upon what 1t was able to &C., complish in the next general election.

A WITNESS FOR ETToR
 DENIES BEING COACHED
'ltalian School Teacher" Receives
 Chilling Cross Examination.

Salem, Mass, Nov 6-Francesca CuZzo, known among her people as the Italian school teacher" of Lawrence, mill worker and striker last win ter, was subjected to grilling cross examination today as a witness for the defense in the trial of Ettor, Giovan- nitti and Caruso for the murder of Anna Lopizzo.
 She gave testimony regarded as val uable by the defense when she re- peated her version of the speech made by the defendant, Giovannitti, on the Lawrence common, January 29, the morning of the day on which occurred the fatal riot. In his speech the pros ecution has charged Giovannitti told the strikers to seek the blood of the scabs.''
 Miss Cuzzo testified that Giovannitti said: 'Go home and be united and calm. Don't do anything against the forces of the authorities because they are commanded to do their duty. Don't go to Canaal street because that is private property and the soldiers are | there. If you go there the soldiers may do something to you because they are like wild animals searching for the blood of the workingmen." District Attorney Attwill traced the movements of Miss Cuzzo last Thurs | day, October 31, when she attended a conference in Lexington hall in Law renee, accompanied by another woman, Pasqualina Rogatas. She admitted she had gone there.
 Didn't Pasqualine Rogatas tell you" MT. Attwill asked, that she did not hear Giovannftti speak January 29 and could not testify?"
 We never discussed it." Miss Cuzzo | answered.
 Didn't you tell her." continued the district attorney, that you did not hear Ettor or Giovannitti either, but you were going on the witness stand, any way?"
 T did not. I-couldn't, because I heard him the 18th. If anybody told me the speech I wouldn't come in here and put my hand up"
 Didn't you say to her, "A party told me everything and how to say it in court; you girls are so much afraid ?''
 This the witness denied and the dis trict attorney kept up a similar fire of questions for some time without 1 shaking her testimony
 Two Congregational ministers, Rev Nicholas Van der Pyl and Rev. George K. Goodwin testified, declaring that they had heard the defendants urge peaceful methods. One of them said Ettor's speeches were nothing to alarm me as a minister

 TARIFF VICTORY.
A DEFINITE MISSION

London, Nov. 1.-The chief interest in the American presidential election for England is its relation to the tariff. Tariff reform is one of the leading is- sues in British politics. The liberal papers hail the democratic success as a great victory for low tariff which is certain to have an influence in Eng land
 A Definite Mission.
 The Daily News says:
 That the democratic party should return to office after Is years in the wilderness is nothing. What matters is that 1t is a regenerated party which has returned entrusted by the Ameri- can people with a definite mission and led by a man who has character and intellect to carry the mission through ,
 More College Men in Politics.
 The News thinks that Woodrow Will sons election should stimulate all men of the American universities, which are more national and democratic than the English, to participate in politics.
 Taft Controlled by Bosses. The Morning Post says: "The significance of the election lies in the fact that the people were dis satisfied with the Taft administration. which was too much controlled by the bosses. but were not ready to accept the advanced Roosevelt programme '
 No Violent Hands on Tariff.
 The Express says:
 MT. Wilson's success depends upon the degree to which he can raise en- thusiasm for politics in hitherto apa- thetic quarters. He will not lay vio- lent hands on the tariff
 American People Dissatisfied.
 What emerges most significantly from the election" says the Chronicle lis that the majority of the American people have awakened to keen dissat- | isfaction with things as they are; that a great forward surge is agitating the mighty mass; that although to some it's purposes may be confused, to some it's battles still fought in the night, ii l there is enough will and vitality in the gigantic nation to carry it forward te | final victory"

WILSON MAY HAVE 400.
South Dakota and Wyoming Have
 Probably Gone Democratic.

New York, Nov 7.-Returns up to a late hour last night seemed to assure Wilson and Marshall of 400 votes in the electoral college. Iowa and Kan sas, which with Minnesota, South Da- kota and Wyoming, were in the doubt full column during the day. seemed almost sure tonight to swell the dem ocratic total in the final alignment of states. Possibilities of a further gain remained for Wilson through the &C., cession of Wyoming, in which state he led Taft by small margin, with one-third of the vote tabulated.
 On the other hand. late figures from South Dakota tended to assure the state to Roosevelt, the progressive candidate leading by fair margin and maintaining his lead fairly well on added returns. In Minnesota Roose- welt led Wilson by a small margin with one-third of the vote tabulated.

UNITED STATES SENATE.
Almost Certainty That Democrats
 Will Control 1t.

That the democratic party would control the United States senate be- came almost a certainty late We'd nesday night when only the possible loss of West Virginia seemed to stand in the way of success.
 Of the 19 seats held by republicans which were at stake in the election, it became necessary for the democrats to elect six to secure a majority in the senate, provided they were able at the same time to retain possession of their own.
 Returns up to Wednesday night gave them the following in republican strongholds:
 Two in Colorado, where John F. Shafroth, democrat, for the full term. and c. s. Thomas, democrat for the short term, will be elected by a demo- cratic legislature.
 One in Montana, where republicans l and progressives conceded the election Of T. J. Walsh, democratic. | One in Kansas, where w. R. Stubbs, republican, conceded the election of his opponent, William H. Thompson, | democrat.
 One in Delaware, a democratic legis- lature assuring the return of demo- crat to succeed Richardson, republican. retired
 The uncertainty as to West Virginia indicated in earlier reports, seemed apparently the only obstacle to a dem ocratic majority. Definite returns are still lacking from Oregon, Wyoming, | Tennessee, New Hampshire Illinois, Iowa and South Dakota Late figures from Nevada indicate that Pittman, democrat, is leading and is probably l elected

Simmons Martin, Bankhead, Davies and Owen.
 Among those who failed of renomi- nation and whose names will net ap- pear on the senate rolls on the 4th of March Is Shelby Cullom of Illinois. whose congressional career goes back to the time of Abraham Lincoln. h. ciuded in this list are also Senators | curtis of Kansas, Bourne of Oregon | and Gamble of South Dakota. Sena- tors Bailey of Texas, Crane of Massa- chusetts, Guggenheim of Colorado. Richardson of Delaware, Burnham of New Hampshire and Wetmore of Rhode Island retire voluntarily. All of them refused to stand for re-elec- | tion

Baltimore, Nov. 6.-Gov Woodrow Wilson carried Maryland yesterday by a plurality of more than 54,O0O over Roosevelt, according to nearly com plete returns received today. The to- tals were: Wilson 112, ,122; Roosevelt 57,679; Taft 54,643.
 The result of the election in Mary land has developed peculiar situation in this state. The election laws recog- nize first the party polling the most votes at the preceding general election and then the party polling the next highest vote. On this latter position the progressives, being second highest, now stand and Col. E. c. Darlington, chairman of the progressive state committee, declared today that his party would claim all the privileges and benefits accruing to the party which polls the second largest vote

Congressional districts as yet unre- ported are 25, as follows: California 5; Iowa 3; Massachusetts 3; Michigan 7; Nevada ]; Pennsylvania 3; Wash ington 5. Total 25.
 The latest returns have not dimin- lshed the heavy democratic majority Tn the house of representatives, but they did play see-saw with "Uncle Joe' Cannon and finally left him de- feated decisively by a.~jority of 500. Gillette, of Massachusetts, probably will succeed to Cannon's position as senior republican on the Appropria- tions committee.
