Everything indicates more and

Everything indicates more and
more the almost phenomenal popular
ity Of Colonel Roosevelt in the coun-
try generally. In the Kansas City
Stars vote, which is most universal
and now amounts to about $4,000.
the Roosevelt vote amounts to more
than double the vote of all other can
didates, counting Taft. La Toilette,
all the Democrats, socialists, etc.
The Star of indianapolis has also
been making Il card canvass, getting
in about 10000 cards. Of these,
Roosevelt got at the rate of three to
one over the President, 1t seems to
he the case everywhere. 1t all goes
to show the universal popularity OF
the ex. President. 1t is not that peo-
pie do not admire the President but
they admire the ex-Presldent more.
There is a certain feeling Of security
ard confidence in him all over this
whole country, that is no, found for
the President. We kind Of feel that
we 4 60 to bed and 60 to sleep and
nobody is going to creep up on us.
When we hear the old flag with all
her loved stars and stripes swapping
in the breeze. We feel, with Roose-
welt in the White House, that she is
kind of swapping for US and it makes
no difference how wide the ocean
may be, or how dark and tar away
the forests may be in other lands, We
a never get so far away with old
Roosevelt up there, but what that
flag, with our boys behind it, will
hunt US ou' and take US home. WE
ARE FOR THE MAN THAT SO
GALLANT FOLLOWED THAT

But few realize how chcaply a cam
ming factory can be started. Few
realize how beneficial such an insti,u-
ton of this kind is in a cummunity.
1t not only gives employment to quite
a number persons during the canning
season, but pats much money into the
pockets OF those who raise the veget-
ables and tiuit that snch 4 factory uses.
The factory al be started in a small
way and the first year or SO can be
occupied largely In canning tomatoes.
There is always a market for these and
its said that the iull outfit for canning
tomatoes can be put in for a surpris-
ing small amount. We hope to be

NEW YORK, March THE kidney

by the New York State Athletic Com
mission. The commission at its meet
ing yesterday prohibited the use of
this blow in future bouts in the State,
falling action long urged upon it by
many boxing enthusiasts who believed
the sport would be bettered thereby.
The arbiters of boxing also made a
ruling that hereafter no one under the
age of Is years be permitted to attend
bouts. On a charge of ineompetency
Casper Leon had his license as a
referee revoked.

hihition Company, the commiss' on

an engagement with the Albany Club,

Football of Greatest Kind Should Be on Tap from Beginning
to End of Game-Both Teams Made Up Largely
of Young Players.

Until recently their name was I'M
known.
Since entering the cup competition
they have waded in and beat team
after team until they narrowed down
to the semi-fnal with the Hudsons.
The H~arrisonians left here last Satur-
day confident of victory, but came back
without the game.
Some of the Philadelphia scribes say
they were lucky to escape a defeat.
Whether or not that is true will be
shown on Sunday. when the Victors
will be put to the final tesla hostile
crowd and a strange ield-and if they
win in face of these adverse circum-
stances they will stand a very good
chance of winning the cup.
The Hudsons, however, are a more
experienced and better seasoned COM
bination. They are the product of a
couple of years of development and
they should be returned the winners

Soccer footballdom has been all agog
ever since the news of the IL tie in
the semi-fnal American cup tie game
between the West Hudsons and the
Victors at Philadelphia last Saturday.
The tie will be replayed on the West
Hudson Athletic Field in Harrison
Sunday afternoon.
The Hudsons have one of the grand
est ag%gregations that ever graced a
soccer field in this vicinity. or indeed
on this side of the pond. They would
give any team in the country a good
battle, and many think that they will
trim the st. Leo cracks of st. Louis
when they clash. But as good as the
West Hudsons have BEEN, the Victors
have beer more sensational through
this last game.
The young team from Philadelphia
sprung into the limelight only last fall.

of it.
Baldwin has been working hard
since his bout with Knockout" Brown
