 Should one listen to a cestain fac. ton. the renomination of Taft and | sherman Is nothing short of political | hari-kari. political ofr spring born in iniquity. and doomed to defeat and disaster That they may as well save their breath to cool their porridse. or warm their fingers after the frost of next November. There are many who have been crying Teddy or defeat" hubt pin any ne of these fellows down and they can give you no good lucid They are as well qualified 10 talk upon the respective merits between Taft and Roosevelt. as the ordinary miner working under ground. in the pit. upon the ditch, or forking in the sluIces. upon the question of how
 much the dirt being mined. hydrau- | licked. or sluiced runs to the pan shovel or cubic yard.
 Politics is business. yes it Is very much a profession. and only experts of the mine. It is guess pure and an absolute success of II. and oftimes | the best students make a failure. by not being able to detect the right | from the wrong road when they come ! to the crossways.

 There are many able writers whol find more good in the Taft regime for The advancement of the nation. than in the work accomplished by Roosevelt and they present a very good. able and convincing argument. and we find articles that prove quite the contrary.
