the infusion of Eskimo blood is appar-
emit. although in large proportion the
Morse natures predominant. They are
taller than the Eskimo Of Greenland,
not so tall as those Of Alaska, and Of
medium height, like their discoverer.
Their features are we'll defined In
sharp contrast with the other moon
faced natives, and many of them have
strong, red boards, usually with the
corresponding auburn hair.
In almost all the 200 or 800 meas
urements Of heads of Coronation gulf
natives taken by DR.. Stefansson he
found that the dolichocephaiic type
prevailed. The dolichocephallc is the
white mans skull, whose breadth Is
less than 10 per cent of its length,
while the Eskimo and other inferior
races present the brachycephalic, or
short-headed, characteristic. These
measurements also indicate that the
faoiA index is nearly identical with
that given for the halfbreeds of West
srn Greenland.
But the strongest confederation of
his belief that these are the descend
ants of Icelandic colonists of Green
land DIR. Stefansson finds In the ex-
istence of a dozen stone huts In diff
tsrent parts of Victoria island. One OF
them DR.. stefansson himself saw and
photographed.
No Eskimo is known ever to have
built stone house, DIR. Stefansson
says. Yet here was little dome
shaped building eight or ten feet high
and from ten to twelve in diameter,
IN every particular similar to those
constructed In the western part of lee
land today except for the turf used to
cement It together, and which here
must, Of course, have been dispensed
with. There was no evidence of the

THE TIDE HAS TURNED.

From the Paterson, N. J.. Press.
1t Is apparent that the turn of the
tide which has been generally expect.
ed. in favor of the reelection of Pres
ident Taft, has set in all over the
country. The Third Term movement
Is rapidly waning, and the testing pro-
cess of Governor Wilson In the cruel
BILE Of public opinion is proving a dis
tinct disappointment to the Democratic
party.
No impartial observer OF the politi-
Cal situation now believes that Roose-
welt has any chance Of winning, and
It is apparent that the Democratic
standard-bearer has made a great mis-
take In adopting the cry of death to
the protective tariff as his slogan.
So manifest Ia the turn of the tide
toward Taft that the Democratic lead
ers have ceased to regard victory for
their party as a sure thing.

ROOSEVELT
IN ILLINOIS THIRD TERM sENTi-
MENT IS STEADILY DE-
CREASING.
FARMERS AGAINST CHANGE
Reports From All Sections Are to the
Effect That Republicans Have
Determined TO Remain Loyal to
Party.

Chicago, Sept 27.-Polls which are
being received at the headquarters Of
the Republican national committee in
dictate that the third term candidate
will not receive on election day any
thing like the support given him in
the primaries, when he was q Repub-
lican seeking the nomination Of his
party for the office OF president
These figures are confirmed by state
ments published in newspapers in va
rious parts Of the state, by letters re-
ceived at the headquarters and by ILL.,
nois people VINO visit Chicago and
express their opinions on the political
situation.
Rev. Clark 8. Thomas of Elgin, who
has travelled through the state from
East st. Louis to Vincennes and from
Springfield to Centralia, was emphatic
in his assertion that the Roosevelt
sentiment in Illinois is disappearing
When former Senator William E.
Mason, nominated at the primaries for
the position of at-large
from Illinois, recently returned from
a speech-making tour he reported that
the Roosevelt sentiment was waning

ing supporters" said Mr.. A. c. Ran
kin Of Chicago. Large numbers Of
people believe he is organizing his
movement merely as an aid to elect
Wilson and defeat Taft, and they re-
fuse to be party to his treachery."
Il have just returned from q tour
through some Of the counties of ILL
nois," writes Henry l. Nowlan, a
prominent attorney of Peoria, ILL.,, to
the Taft headquarters in this city,
and l find that the third term senti-
ment Is on the wane."
Change Among Farmers.

proved In my section Of Illinois more
than rs per cent. since | was here
two weeks ago." says Mr.. w. w.
Clark Of Aurora, ILL.,, formerly labor
editor Of the Chicago Inter Ocean and
now editor Of the Aurora Sentinel.
The change is principally observed
among the farmers. They appreciate
the prosperity which they have been
enjoying under Republican admins
tration and they are beginning to real
lie that a change to Democracy means
an end to their good times. The trend
toward President Taft is plainly ap-
parent"
Pledged to Republican Ticket.
II cannot speak for other parts of the
state" said Mr.. w. e. Wire of Hebron,
ILL.,, while in Chicago recently, but l
know that in my precinct Roosevelt
will not poll one per cent. of the vote
which he received in the primaries
last spring"
Mr.. Wire was formerly chairman of
the county committee of McHenry
county, and Is now a member of the
county committee.
While there are some sections in
the state where the Roosevelt senti-
ment continues to manifest itself, the
fact that 1t Is generally disappearing
Is proven beyond doubt.

sweepingly?"
In these words Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt summarized his testimony
before the Clapp senate committee
that is investigating campaign funds.
The colonel specifically denied that
he ever asked for contributions to his
1904 campaign fund; or that he had
known of any contribution by ]. p.

To these unequivocal statements
Colonel Roosevelt added again that he
had ordered the return to the Stand

no such contribution, and that he did
not believe Cornelius n. Bliss had

ration by any method of extortion.
Colonel Roosevelt did not deny that
corporations had contributed to the
1900 campaign. He said his letters
and published statements had always
acknowledged that fact, but he speci.
Ned that no such contributions had
ever been obtained under any sugges.
ton that the administration would re.

IN perfect health and his testimony
was punctuated by vigorous slaps up
on the arm of his chair and his knee.
For two hours he talked and was in

questions.
Colonel Rooseveit's testimony bris-
lied with characteristic statements.
He asserted that Senator Penrose
should lose his seat because of his
proved friendship for the Standard Oil
monopoly.
He demanded that the committee re-
Quire proofs from the men who are
charging that the Roosevelt primary
campaign this year cost more than
$4,000 900.
Finally he requested the committee
not to confine itself exclusively to his
campaign affairs, but to examine those
who had to do with the funds OF other
candidates and who are now charging
that immense sums were and are be-
ing spent on behalf of the Progressive
candidate.

Fishing Tackle
NA AT -
GriswOId's

Cheap tackle, offered by some deal
ers, looks good enough to fish with,
but your family doctor will tell you
(if you do not know from personal
experienced that its use will tend to
nervousness and fits, because 1t is
not fit for fishing.
We have strong suspicion that II
your hook, smell or line breaks just
as you snip the biggest fish In the
brook, that the naughty words and
the special emphasis with which you
mention the name of the dealer who
sold you the tackle, Is not good ads
vertising for him; hence 1t has been
our policy to handle only tackle that
we know Is safe to sell and use. The
reason we have the biggest tackle
business in this section is because
the successful fishermen have discov-
cred that our tackle does not fail
them and they have told the rest of
the bunch about 1t.
Drop in and let US show you some
new things, made especially for us
at the suggestion Of our best fisher
men in these waters.
Rods, Reels, Baskets, Bait Boxes
and everything except worms and
fish to insure big mess of trout

AID SOUGHT FOR cATAWBAs
Indian Tribe That Has Always Been
Friendly to Whites

In South Carolina is the earliest civ
ilized tribe of Indians in the United
States, and they are not the wards of
the government These are the Ca.
tawbas, and they number approximate
ly 100.
State Senator w. H. Stewart OF
South Carolina is in Washington to
confer with the congressional delega-
ton of that state with the view OF
having these Indians placed on the
Same basis as all other red men and
it is probable that bill will shortly
be introduced to this end.
ut is strange, perhaps, that the
Catawba Indians, who have been
wards of the state of South Carolina
for many years, should never have
received any recognition from the
national government" said Senator
Stewart, but it is a fact, nevertheless
The Catawbas are the only American
Indians, so far as my knowledge goes
that have always been friends of the
white man. They never took the
blood of a white man, and during al
the early struggles of the whites
against the Indians the Catawbas re
NAMED true. They were in what Is
now South Carolina when the frs
whites reached that territory, and
they have remained there.
For long time the Cherokees oc
cupied the same territory, and there
was continual strife between the two
tribes, for the Cherokees were among
the most bloodthirsty tribes on this
continent In all the struggles thu
Catawbas took sides with the settlers
against the Cherokees. The latte
Indians massacred many Of the set
tiers in South Carolina.
"The state government. after hay
ing taken care Of these Indians for s,
many years, now is seeking to hav'
the national government make provis
ion for them, so that they can, Il
common with other Indians, hay
lands allotted to the mand become An
erican citizens, which is only Just an,
