He says that he is 25 years old and

would probably be best for me TO
curb it. and so I will be grateful to
you If you will tell me how 10 do so"

She declared nothing could induce her

Yet now in advancing years she is
living In loneliness seeking every

borrowing other peoples children to
brighten her life, besides bearing the
brand on her face Of the woman who
has fought against motherhood at any
cost-an unmistakable brand TO one
who base seen much Of the world
ANY young man should pause well
before he thinks seriously OF marrying
girl who has no maternal instincts
There are two qualities which a

She must love children and she
must have love and reverence for the

During the period mentioned for
seven years Theodore Roosevelt
was president and never lifted his
hand to prevent the robbery of the
people by the sugar trust, but when
Taft became president the trust
was proceeded against for violation
of the Sherman law in restraining
trade-which accounts for the OPP
position of the trust to the presi-
dent, who has tried to do his duty

Pays Respects To Roosevelt.

In current issue of the Com
moner, William ]. Bryan, the edi-
tor, in strong article fays Theo-
dore Roosevelt in a vigorous man
ner which must have made the
Bull Moose" real mad, and he
can get exceedingly mad when he
cannot have his way. In the ar
ticle he says that the ex-president
stands for a government OF unlim-
tied power that would ride down
the individual, and that he does
not believe in the fundamental
principles upon which our govern
ment is founded and advocates
theories which would be destruct-
i've to republican form of gov
ernment. With Col. Bryan and
Senator LaFollette after him dur
ing the campaign, it is more than
probable that Teddy will get what
is coming to him.

Gives Good And Sufficient Reasons

At the beginning of the great re-
form propaganda in this state At
tonrey- General Levi H. Bancroft
was one of the inner circle and very
close to the chief. In the course of
time, he like others whose names it
is not necessary to mention, made
the discovery that he must have no
opinions of his own, and be obedi-
ent to the will and command of the
chief, who only had one object in
view, self-aggrandisement. In time
he rebelled, as did others, and in a
statemedt last week, why he should
not be candidate for reelection,
said in part:
If there were no other consid-
erations to deter me from entering
such contest, my self-respect and
my own political convictions would
BE- sufficient. / am a Republican
and as such l could not subscribe
to the platform of reputation, n.y.
pocrisy and demagogy which will
be framed by the progressive Soci-
alists at the coming so-called
Republican platform convention of
1912. | could not accept a nor1i-
nation upon such a platform with
out stultifying my own intelligence
and betraying every sense OF hon.
or and allegiance as a republican,
and surrenderine every sense of
patriotism and loyalty as an Amer
lean citizen in honor bound to up
hold the institutions of the country,
the integrity of the courts and the
departments of constitutional gov

One Nagler, who holds a posi-
ton in the Office of the secretary of
state, is out in an article in which
he tries by Juggling figures to
show that the expenses of the state
were exceedingly moderate and
that no tax is collected for state
expenses, but he will deceive no
one, for all know that with reason
able state expenditures, the mil
lions of dollars received annually
as taxes and licenses from rail
roads, insurance companies, auto
inheritance taxes and
other sources of revenue, would
pay all the state expenditures and
leave large balance to be used in
paying the expenses of the normal
schools, charitable institutions and
the corrective institutions, for the
payment Of which a direct tax is
now levied. Here in Jefferson
the state tax under the ben
lfcent rule of the present admin
istration has jumped from $500
to $780, 900 per annum approxim-
ately, which is mighty good evil
dence that Nagler is trying to de-
ceive the taxpayers.
