 We firmly believe that She election of Theodore Roosevelt to the Presi- dency of the United States in 1912, will subserve generally the interests of the people. in a greater degree than would the election of any other man By giving assurance of the jus: and impartial administration of the Jaw, his election would restore the cOnfi- dence of the people in the efficiency of our government and in it's ability to exercise those functions so essen tial to the security of the fundamen- tai rights of mankind to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Equal opportunities would be accorded to all and no special privileges be al lowed to any. Honesty in office. and in big business would be enforced. on the one hand big business would be held amenable to the discharge of it's duties ,o the government and tn the people and on the other it would be accorded exact and even justice Meditation and uncertainty would give way to firmness and the cer- tainty of equal justice to an without discrimination.
 In short. we will have in the ad- ministration of the affairs of gov ernment manly. courageous straightforward. unflinching SQUARE DEAL
 And We respectfully ask that the State Committee or the State EX- ecutive Committee direct the selection of delegates to the State Convention, in such a way as to fairly ascer- tain the will of the people at pri- marfes to be called for that pur pose.

Proposes Illuminated High way From That City to Buffalo and

PLAN IS MOST
 AMBITIOUS ONE
It Is Proposed to Draw Much of the Required Power From Mag
 ara Falls

NEW YORK, April 30-New York Citys White Way, a5 the brilliantly lighted section of Broadway is called may soon be outshone by Create White Way laid out by New York state.
 There is a projec5 to light ten miles of the state highways. as an experimen, preliminary to iliu-linat- ing a great circuit from New Yorl City to Buffalo by way ol Albany, and then back to the capitai through the southern tier of counties. passing through Corning, Elmira and Bin2- hamton.
 If carried out this will be the first undertaking of it's kind in the United
 States-probably in the world. It
 would greatly increase the utility of
 the roads, making traffic as safe by night as by day.
 According to plan. poles of rein forced concrete 45 feet nigh would be
 erected at intervals of about 500 feet.
 It is estimated that the entire install lation. including cost of poles. wires and lamps. would be $4OO 900.
 It is expected that water power will De lStu lp Sti4'I 'itt 'A' u lNANN 4''

 this may be obtained from the sup
 ply which the state proposes to de- velop in connection with its barge
 canals. but it is probable that Mag ara Falls would be called upon for much of the current, at least on the
 western part of the circuit.
 The recently negotiated waterways treaty between the United Sta'-s and Great Britain, when 1t goes irtc full effect. will make available the quan- titv of power necessary for this The two nations have entered into an agreement that will permanently safeguard the beauty and grandeur "f the great cataract by restricting ti" water that may be diverted for com mercial purposes.
 Under an existing law, passed b"- 1 fore the treaty was made, use of wa ter on the American side is restricted | to F 600 cubic feet a second out of 1 q total flow of 240,0G0 cubic feet. As 1 Canada had no regulations at the 1 time the law was passed, the framers also inserted a clause restricting lm- pOrtatiOn Of electricity from across the border to 160,000 horse power This was done with a view to say 1 ing the horseshoe or Canadian falls, since practically the only demand for | power in Canada at that time was
 for export to the United States. The treaty, because it limits defin- l jtelv the diversion on both sides, contains no restrictions upon the i'm
 portation of electric current from l Canada. Therefore, when the treaty
 is in full effect, American industries will not be deprived of the use or power produced on that side of Mag ara river. The net result is that the beauty of Niagara Falls is perma- nently assured through international | agreement. while a scientific ar | rangement of water rights will make | it possible greatly to increase the supply in this country of nolseless'

Christmas Gifts and Greetings.

What did you give for Christmas this

ton in all the Christmas giving, not
What did you get?' What happiness
have YOU spread by giving? 1t need not
have been something bought in stores,
something paid for with money. Any one
can buy something. But there are Christ

found in any shop. that cannot be paid
for, even with the purse. of a Rookie

that counts, some good thought of help
fulness some deed of kindness and en-
enlargement, some assurance OF friend

freely must be hearty and sincere or ii is

everybody something better in life, some
greater happiness and brightness. Make
that the Christmas greeting.
There are plenty of Scrooges in the
world, people who need only to be
aroused out OF their seltishness and mar
rowness by some unusual token of real
affection, some awakening appeal TO their
better selves. And the Scrooge who has
been won over TO the side of good cheer
and heIpfulness and brotherly love is a
triumph of conversion. A good many of

The Cabinet in Congress.

From the New York Evening Post.
The message which President Taft had
such difficulty in getting to Congress last
week contained one important section
which was printed in full only in the Con-
gressional Record 1t was the one contain
ing the recommendation that the law be
changed so as to allow members of the
ca binet to have seats. though not votes,
in both Senate and House. The President
gives succinctly the arguments in favor
of the proposal. 1t should lessen misun-
derstandings between the executive and
legislative branches of the government
by bringing them into contact. Time
would be saved, through direct question
and answer on the floor of Congress.
which is now wasted in roundabout in
u,iiry. Moreover, a Secretary who knew
that he might any day he called upon in
Congress for information concerning his
department would he prompted thereby
to new zeal i'm keeping the run of all that
went on in it, President Taft does not
mention another consideration, though 1t
is really weighty. We mean the height
ened interest which the public would be
certain TO take in congressional proceed
ings when the cabinet had voice in
them, to answer questions or defend poll
cies 1t is obvious also that this would
be a means of getting quickly before the
country a great deal of information which
now comes to the light but slowly and in
fragments.

reprisais against Maryland motorists en-
tering the District. 1t is to be questioned
whether this is the best way to correct
the undeniable abuse of authority that
has just been witnessed in Montgomery
county Surely the governor OF the state
is not aware Of the outrageous perform
ances on the part of deputies who thus
apply the methods Of the road agent in
the so-called enforcement of the law.
There is a very serious question whether
the fines levied are justtiable. If these
cases could be taken to a court not
prejudiced in the premises it is likely
that a ruling would be given to the ef-
feet that a license number fastened by a
stout strap or wire in such a manner as
to be seen plainly at all times meets all
the requirements OF the rule. Certainly
there can be no executive tolerance for
the sudden, arbitrary procedure that Sun
day last cost the Washington motorists
some hundreds of dollars without any
thought on their part Of violating the
law.
Inasmuch as the motorists of the Dis
trict pay to the state of Maryland up
ward of $4,000 a year in license ices II
surely is to be expected that the state au-
thorities will recognize them as having
some rights that even a deputy sheriH
is required to respect. III, however, the
governor of the state, upon proper repre-
sensations. fails to act correctively the
District government may find way 10

Localized Hold.Ups.

I.csalized highwaymanry is now being
practiced I'm Montgomery county. Md. The
hiGhwayman does not hide behind rocks
or bushes and pounce upon his victim
from this ambush. as in the good old days
when the road agents held almost undis-
putcd sway over the routes of travel and
took toll from all passers. They Use no
weapons wherewith tn awe their victims
into submission. They operate along
more modern lines. They act in the name
of the law Last Sunday an exhibition
OF this sort Of thing was given on some
of the roads leading out of Washington.
Deputy sheriffs intercepted District mo-
florists by the dozen and mulcted them in
fines of from 81 to SIS apiece on the plea
securely fastened TO the cars. They
quoted the law on the subject. and hav-
ing a specially provided magistrate
close at hand drew several hundred dol
lars from the pockets of local automo-
bilists. No warning had been given that
a new and rigid Interpretation of the
Maryland license law had been applied.
The motorists were not halted and ad-
monished that the law would require
them to tack. or screw, or rivet the tags
directiy 10 the bodies OF the machines,
and that the usual method of strapping
or wiring them would not be tolerated.
That would have been the equitable,
righteous way OF putting the law in mo-
ton. but il would have produced no rev.
,nue. and SO the simpler and more eff
fective means of taking toll was adopted.
and the motorists were. without amy
warning whatsoever, made TO pay. al
though probably none of them had ever
heard OF the requirement Of rigid fas-
tening.

The Christmas Tree.

Any old tree is good enough
To do for Christmas tree,
Though its spread be small and it's out
line rough,
You can trim it up with the proper stuff
Till it's something fair to see.
And the lights will glow
With a merry show
Where the glitteIing trifles shine.
With little share
OF loving care,
Any old tree looks fine.
Any old day is d holiday,
If you choose to make it one:
The simplest lay is enough. they say,
For a laugh that will echo on its way,
If you know how the trick is done.

OF a merry heart,

Make every old thing seem new.

CIark's advice about legislation-not only
what to procure. but how-is very val

Wilson an apprentice. .
And third on the list comes Mr.. IN

him to know how they feel about mat

know how he feels. If differences of
opinion are disclosed. arrangements can
be made to adjust them. If agreements
show they can be clinched to the common

Avenging the Birds.
From the Boston Post.


Bird lovers everywhere will rejoice to
note the good and wholesome activity of
the authorities of New York in enforcing
the new law forbidding the use of the
pltmage of song birds and others of our
useful feathered friends. a recent raid
eliminated in large seizures of plumage
illegally offered for sale throughout the
city. The seizure includes 400 humming
birds. many gulls. herons and swifts. The
law, which bird lovers succeeded in hav-
ing passed at Albany eighteen months
ago provides a fine of 81 for each piece
of plumage offered for sale. 1t is to he
hoped that no mercy will be shown these
violators of a law they understand per-
fectly well. and of whose passage they
had all been notified. The slaughter of
birds to make women's adornment is
mean enough in itself, and when is added
the harm that is done by such killing
to the crops and fruits Of all kinds by
lessening the number of insect caters. the
thing is absolutely indefensible.
