WILLIAMSBURG KY, July IS
The Roosevelt Republicans of
Whitley and adjoining counties
are urging opposition to Congress
man Caleb Powers. The two men
most prominently mentioned here
as Roosevelt candidates are A. T.
Siler, former Railroad,Commission-
er, and J. c. Bird, County Attor-
ney of Whitley County. Mr. Bird
is regarded here as the most avail
abs man to make the race. He IS
young and aggressive and is con-
ceded to be one of the best cam
paigners in this section of the
State. He was one of the leaders
OF the Roosevelt movement in the
Eleventh District for the Republi-
can nomination and it was largely
due to his management and inffu-
ence and efforts that Roosevelt
carried Whitley Comfy almost un-
animously in the mass convention.
Mr.. Bird is well and favorably
known in nearly all the counties
in the District, and il he should
accept the nomination on the
Roosevelt ticket, there would GER
tainly be something doing in the
Old Eleventh. He is personally
known to Roosevelt and no doubt
his candidacy would be looked
upon with favor by the Colonel.

The Wilson. Idea.

In his analysis Of Gov, Wilson 8
speech of acceptance Mr. Bryan re-
marked
He recognizes, and in his
speech declraes, that there has
been no more demeralizing in
fiuence in our politics than the
idea that the Government is
the grand dispenser of fayors,
the maker and unmaker of for
tunes, and he tersely presents
the automatic truth that fayors
are never conceived in the gem
eral interest, but always for the
benefit of the few.
This marks the vital difference
between the Wilson view of the
function OF government and the
Roosevelt view. Instead OF elimi-
mating privilege from the tariff Col.
Roosevelt insists that some of the
plumber of tariff protection be given
to wage earners in protected indus
tries Assuming that it is possible
to force the tariff barons to divide
their privilege profits with their
wage earners an incredible achieve

Boosting Cairo.

The man who does not possess
enough courage or self confidence &c
blow his horn when he knows h.
has something worth blowing about
is apt to remain at the bottom OF
the ladder of success. If you have
ANYTHING to blow about, you'll have
to do the blowing yourself. The
other man is too busy blowing his
own horn to worry about yours.
The same is true Of cities. Some
cities have things to blow about aud
they blow. Other cities have
things to blow about, but their
horn is not blown. They are wait
ing for somebody to come along and
do the blowing for them. The city
that does its own blowing mounts
the ladder, while the city that does
not let the rest of the world hear
the clarion tones of its horn. either
remains stationary or loses power.
Cairo has innumerable good quail
tiles, but with the exception OF a
few spasmodic efforts it has never
blown its horn loud enough to at
tract attention, and as the result
the city has not grown as rapidly as
it should
However, new era Us dawniRg

chants Association has taken the
matter of blowing Cairos horn in
hand. A committee known as the

The business men and citizens of
Cairo are working together more ac-
lively since the recent flood than
ever before and if this spirited or
ganization can be maintained, The
Bulletin feels safe in predicting a
brilliant future for the city.

Oratory is the art of talking with
the hands, feet, shoulders and mouth
and sometimes with the brain-alr
at once.
Oratory was first made famous by
Demosthenes, a Greek boy who lived
many years before Chauncey De-
pegs stories were first invented.
Demosthenee became an orator by
filling his mouth fun of pebbles thus
compelling himself 10 be brief on
pain of choking to death. This plan
has fallen into disuse however.
0ratory is as hard to learn as
aviation. The speaker must get
astride of his theme in low res
onant voice and then Aide rapidly
up into a loud shrek, pausing only

an adjective would meet as disas-
trous a fate rs the aviator who let
go Of the steering wheel two miles
from land to arrange his necktie.
Cautious orators therefore make mp
full stock of figures of speech and
keep them ready for instant use so
| that when they are surprised By a
personal friend at a public meeting
with demand for speech, they
can go on the platform totally un-
prepared and can rise 1000 feet in
a few hoarse whoops. coming down
afterwards from patriotism to pea
nuts in a beautiful spiral glide.
\ talented orator is also great
athlete and can use both arms VIC
len-ly fer hours at a time. SWIM
ming is good preliminary training
for orators If a man can swim a
mile he can expect to go through a
long and eloquent Grafton without
getting weak in the shoulders.
A fine orator has a wonderful ef-

believe whatever he wants 10 tell it
about the tariff or Andrew Jackson.
