ROOSEVELT WOULD
DODGE TARIFF.

There is every indication that
former President Roosevelt intends
to avoid the tariff issue. In a re.
cent statement from Mr.. Roosevelts s
headquarters ir New York it was de.
clared he would rest his case with
the people on the issues he raised
in his Columbus speech" where he
ignored the tariff completely. Just
how Mr.. Roosevelt proposes TO re.
lieve the people from paying tribute
to the tariff trusts on practically
everything they buy. is a mystery
for which the former president has
Offered no explanation. Heretofore
Col. Roosevelt has been staunch
hldrich, Penrose, smoot man on the
tariff, and since their viewpoint on
the tariff is not particularly popular
at this juncture. Mr.. Eoosevelt has
evidently decided It would be polite
to keep quiet on the subject.

WILL BoLsTERED HIS CREDIT
Not Until WooIen Jobber Failed Did
His Creditors Get Wise to
His Trick.

Credit men in the woolen trade are
discussing an interesting bankruptcy
case that was recently compounded
out of court at settlement of about
rs cents on the dollar; and some Of
the credit men, autobiographically
reminiscent, are bewailing the fact
that. to avoid the slang Of other
trades, "a victim is born every min
ute" These are the credit men who
credited.
1t seems that a well-known jobber
ago and grew worse and worse until,
finally. the men in the trade heard
that he was dying. About that time
the jobber sent for a lawyer who
even outside of his own heraldings-
is credited with doing about half Of
the litigation Of that most litigious of
trades. The jobber, groaning heavily,
made his will. He disposed Of about
100000 in 1t. Some went to charity,
some went to old business friends,
and little went to the jobber's own
family.
Soon afterward turn for the bet
tci SCI III III luS yOUDcT b II.
Presently he was walking briskly
about his business again, buying now
from this mill, now from that-bM
always buying. He bought so much
hat several credit men became restive
under his orders and began to consid-
er the wisdom of holding back ship
ments on terms more akin to cash.
One of them. however, happened to
mention his suspicious to the lawyer
who had drawn up the jobber's will
Have no fear" the lawyer reas-
sured him. adding. by way of conf
dence. II myself had an altogether
erroneous notion of his finances until
several weeks ago when he was Ill.
At that time I drew up his will for
him, and was amazed at the extent of
his fortune" And he divulged more
condolences.
Good news travels just as fast as
bad news in the woolen trade, and
presently every credit man in the
business knew of the jobber's will and
his s5O0,000. And the jobber contin-,
ued to buy and buy, and buy still
more, on ever easier terms. Then,
when he had bought enough, he failed,
and that, too, in almost as respectable
a figure as the fortune in his late re-
puted will.

The Denver Republican is making
the daily howl for the people of the
state to arise and protect her inter

1t is just little mistake. The Old

The Taft supporters of Colorado
are bringing forward the statement
that Taft vetoed the free wool and
cotton schedules and thus came to
the rescue of the 10000 wool and
cotton growers. The Democrats make
the claim that in the passage of
those bills, they listened to the ap-
peals of S0.0O0.00O people,who were
taxed to death for the clothing they
wore.

trust which has it's hand on the
throat of the mining industry of this
state, he would have gained everlast
ing gratitude of the miners and every
body else in the state. CLAP trap

Under the present operation Of the

session of the last general assem-

correctly that the sanitary conditions
which now accompany and surround
the handling or the sale OF dairy
products have been improved 100 per
cent, and while there is room for
more improvements and these are
rapidly being made, conditions are
very cleanly and wholesome. These
