charity begins at home, During the
past few years the federal govern
ment has spent millions upon mil
lions of dollars in constructing the
Panama canal, in the sanitation OF
Cuba and in acquiring and improv-

these works are worthy and com

nual scourge which devastates large'
tracts of its arabic lands, causing
the loss of human life, and making
thousands of families homeless and

UNUSUAL PERFORMANCE
AT GEM THEATER FOR
THREE MORE DAYS

One of the most. if not the most,
spectacular vaudeville acts ever
seen at local theaters is that of the
Five Jordon Jugglers which Botto
& Meyers have made special ar
rangements to bring to Cairo for
the first half of this week. The
Jordons were on the bill yesterday
afternoon and night and the amazed
spectators have since begin advising
their friends that to miss this treat
is to fail to see the wonderful
brothers who have been induced to
show here.
The Jordons make a speedy inter-
change of Indian clubs, at times two
of the brothers stand on the
shoulders of two Others and another
in the center of the stage and the
clubs are thrown from one to the
other with such accuracy that the
eye of the audience can hardly dis
tinguish the objects but they make
almost perfect blend.
Never before have jugglevs at
tempted such an act.
Musical Castle, who appears first
on the program pleased all with his
selections First he played a cor
net presented to him by a Cincin-
natl musical society and as encore
gave several selections of popular
music upon his saxaphone, Castel
was loudly applauded after each
selection at all of the performances
of yesterday. Music lovers should
not fail to hear him.
MARITIME and Wolf gave clever
skit yesterday and they too will be
here today, tomorrow and Wednes-
day in the same classy act The
maids songs have proof of her won
derful singing qualities and coupled
with the real" jokes of the boot
black made fifteen minutes pass de-
lightfully.
In addition to the vaudeville acts
the three regular reels of first run
pictures will be shown. As usual
those coming late to the matinee
will be accorded the privilege of
seeing the three reels after the
vaudeville program
Miss McElya has resumed her
position as pianist at the Gem after

ROOSEVELT IN EDITORIAL
SAYS PEOPLE WILL RULE

New York, May 26.-"This cam
paign has been a fight by the rama
and file against the bosses. 1t is we
Progressives, who are the real Re-
publicans, but 1t Is because we ars
standing along with the rank and
lille. The popular primaries have
shown that Republican voters do
mot want anyone else to govern
them. They want to govern them
selves" Is the opening paragraph OF
an editorial by Theodore Roosevelt,
which appears in the current issue
of The Outlook.
The party is not made up of the
bosses or the party workers, alone.
1t is made up Of all the voters In
the party" the editorial continues
Every party had to have It's leaders,
but the man who tries to impose his
will upon the voters, tries to do
things against the will of the vot-
ers, is not leader but he is The
boss In this campaign we have
shown that the people have sd-
vanced to express themselves, they
have no use for bosses. Eleven
states, including Ohio, have allowed
the voters of the party to express
their wishes. Out of 324 delegates
elected at those primaries, the most
that Mr. Taft could secure, with
the help of party organization and
the patronage, and with the bosses
on his side, amounts only to 4S.
The only states where Mr.. Taft has
secured his real victories are the
states where the party is in control
OF the bosses. That shows clearly
on which side of the issue Mr., Taft
stands. That shows that this is
straight issue between the two
bosses on one side and the people on
the other side.
When, in the face OF the fact.
Mr.. Taft says In spite OF this vote
that he expects the Chicago conven-
tion to be under control Of the
friends Of constitutional govern
ment, 1t is clear that he means by
such friends What this means is
that the convention shall make the
presidential nomination would have
to defy the will of the voters. this
means that 1t would have to over
ride the peoples will. 1t has been
said by opponents that what am
standing for is treason to the
party When they speak of the
party they mean the bosses ano
their under-strappers, who have 50

chinery. ! decline to recognize the
