There are still stories a1oat that the steame-
Californian was near enough to the Titanic on the
night she met with disaster to have gone to the
rescue and saved many lives. In the Investigation
now going on in London, Charles Grove the third
officer of the Californian. testified that he actually
saw the Titanic sink The wireless operator on the
Californian also told the Captain that he believed
the Titanic was near the Californian, judging from
the strength OF her signals for help. If it is fact
that the Californian paid attention to the sig
nails and made no attempt to get to the Titanic
il speaks very poorly of the Californian officers.

Roosevelt has added the delegates OF Minnesota
and California to his list this week The Taft peo-
pie were claiming California by over 5000. The
result was that Roosevelt carried the State by a
pleuraty OF something like 100000. Ii the TAFT
managers are not figuring elsewhere closer than
they did in Minnesota and California the President
has slim chance OF holding down the job again.

Senator LaFollette, one of the
few men in public life worthy to
the title of progressive republican,
and who has spent thirty years in
the forefront of battle against spe-
cial privileges, gives his opinion
Of Roosevelt as follows: "While
Roosevelt was president he offered
no encouragement to the progress
sive republicans who were strug-
Cling against the old boss con
trOlled machines in the various
states. He gave no aid in the fight
for direct primaries or other pro-
gressive legislation. His ap-
pointees were the most active
agents of the opposition, and his
influence was all on the side of the
reactionaries."

Fargo Democrat: If Roosevelt
had been nominated at Chicago he
would now be defending the re-
publican party and attacking the
democratic party. He would have
claimed that the republican party
is still the proper instrument to
bring about all needed reforms.
He would have been proud Of its
record on the whole, and would
have taken the position that no
man is a good republican or a
really wise man who would desert
his party. He wasn't nominated
and now he finds the republican
party has been horribly corrupt
for many years. Queer isn't it?

and county office take place Tuesday,

desire to call your attention to the
Importance of supporting Governor M.
E. Hay, for nomination and election as
governor.
Governor Hay has expressed himself
as not in favor Of the enactment OF
further liquor legislation until the
present local option law has been given
a fair trial.
1t Is, therefore, to our interest to
re-elect Mr.. Hay rather than elect some
one else who at the next session OF the
legislature will endeavor to make rec
ord by advocating drastic liquor legis-
lation.
The position of lieutenant governor Is
also important. considering that the
lieutenant governor is the presiding
officer Of the senate, and /, therefore,
request you to vote for Mr.. Albert A.
Piller for the nomination for Lieutenant
governor
Mr. Pine. possesses wide business
experience. Is a man Of sound judgment,
is conservative and eminently qualified
for the position.
The liquor trade will be better con-
served in the hands of men of business
experience such as Mr. Piller. rather
than trusting its destiny to those now
radically inclined.
I, therefore, earnestly urge you to
vote and work for the nomination and
election of Mr.. Hay and Mr.. Piller.
Don't fail to go to the primaries and
vote for your candidates. Respectfully
yours, JAMES w. MORRISON,
Grand Valiant Commander.

chance to do something, he allowed
the trusts to rob both the farmer
and the consumer. Now that he
is out Of office, and wants to get

betrayed farmer and the betrayed
consumer, that he is their friend,
and anxious to help them. And
George w. Perkins, who profted
most by this betrayal of the farmer

third termer's ambitions with

Samuel G.. Blythe, political writ
er for the Saturday Evening Post,
with a circulation of nearly two
million, says in the issue Of Sep
tember 21:
After visiting Washington, Ore
gon, California, Utah, Nevada,
Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Kan
sas, Colorado, Nebraska and Iowa,
some aspects of the situation are
reasonably clear to me. These
can be summed up as follows:
First Those persons in the east
and elsewhere who think that The
odore Roosevelt has lost any great
portion of his popularity in this
wide territory are misinformed.
Second: Those persons who are
expecting the progressive move
ment to subside and the former
republicans in it to stick to the
old party and vote with it in No
vember are in error, judging from
conditions as I find them the clos
ing days of August.
Third: Those persons who
think that the farmers, the work
ingmen, the skilled shop-laborers,
the factory men, the railroad men,
the travelling men, the small bust
ness men, the storekeepers and
their clerks do not intend to vote
for Roosevelt and johnson in large
numbers-in amazingly large num-
bers-have no knowledge of what
the mass of the people have in
mind.
Fourth: Those Taft men who
hope that any considerable number
of conservative democrats will
vote for Taft, and in a way offset
the loss to the republican party
through the detection to Roosevelt,
have no substantial basis for that
hope.
Fifth: Those Wilson men who
are convinced that a large number
of the old-line republicans will
vote for Wilson in order to make
the protest against Roosevelt most
effective are right.
Sixth: Those people who con-
tend that this is a fight between
Roosevelt and Wilson, with Taft
hopelessly out Of it, at this time,
have an adequate conception OF
the circumstances.
Seventh: Any person who, bas-
ing his conclusions on figures, tab
ulations, comparisons, canvasses,
straws or past performances, pre-
tends to be able to say with any
degree Of certainty what the out
come of it all will be is pretending

ALL ABOUT THE PHILOSOPHER
Short Essay Evidently Writer by One
Familiar With This Species of
Animal.

A philosopher is man, and rarely
a woman, who, having nothing to do
and being glad of it, puts in his time
explaining the reason that other peo-
pie should have for doing things.
Philosophers are not popular be-
cause, in the first place, most men are
too busy to listen to them, and, in
the second place, they are satisfied
with their own reasons for doing
things,
Nevertheless, philosophers are wont
to graYitate toward comfortable stoves
in corner groceries. where men Of
varying leisures struggle in and to-
wards comfortable chairs in universi-
ties where helpless youth are COM
PEELED to listen as a part Of an awful
punishment called curriculum,
Whenever a philosopher becomes f2-
nous, it always turns out that Ne is
not a philosopher at all, but a scicn-
tist, Simon pure philosophers never
give information, because nothing, less
than explaining the unknowablo VIII
satisfy them. One philosopher WIFI
never agree with another philosopher
if he can possibly help it,-Life,
