er Taft nor La Toilette can win in the
election and that Roosevelt can win.
Roosevelt's availability is obvious.
He has been tried at the head of the
nation several years, and came out
of the Office stronger than he was
when he began. The people will be
divided into two classes, those who
love Roosevelt and those who are
anxious that the progress of business
shall not be disturbed by a Democrat
&c victory.
The only objection urged against
Roosevelt will be that he has held
the Office nearly two terms. Men will
rant that Roosevelt's reelection will
break solemn custom established
by our forefathers. But we have bro
ken so many solemn customs handed
down from our ancestors that we are
not easily frightened now by objec-
tons so far-fetched.

DENVER, Colo. Feb. I0.-The sub
servience of matter to mind in the
creation of new and higher type of
life is the explanation given by
Charles Willard Caryll, head Of the
Caryll Cooperative Industrial Sys-
tenn in California, of his relations with
Miss Harriet G. Richardson Of Los
Angeles.
Caryll arrived in Denver today in
company of United States marshal.
He was arrested in San Francisco on
charge of sending obscene letters
through the mails to Miss Richardson.
The woman is in a California asylum
as the result OF a mental breakdown,
which, her brothers declare, resulted
from Caryll's letters.
Outlining his scheme of absolute
life to a group of newspaper men,
Caryll vigorously disclaimed any sim
ilarity to the plan Of Evelyn Arthur
See, of Chicago. He insisted that his
relations with Miss Richardson were
at all times proper. and added:
Il think far more of her than I
could of wife, we're ] married. Our
relations were on a far higher plane.
