wrote them, for no anonymous essays

Here Is the very first letter ! opened

Washington woman:

"The ruling motif Of his life must be
honor; character. not reputation. Honor
in daily life, not kept for public donning:
in other words, O clean. proud self-re-
spect, whether he be q laborer or mag
nate.
He must be gentle TO the old, tender
to the weak. pitiful to the poor.
He must be the kind of a man children
like and dogs trust
He must love me because God made
women sweet and to be loved.
He must want a wife, when he ask
me to marry him: a mother for the chill
dren he is willing to intrust to me born
Of his love. A helpmate to his life, not
a figure to merely clothe and hang jewels
on, but he must want wife
He must want his home to be the dear
est place on earth for him. A place
for rest, for content. for laughter.
He must earn. to the full OF his capa-
bility. because his earnings are index of
his earnestness and his valuation of HIM
self But he must not be a money-drudge.
1 do not want to live the splendid years
of life with a man whose soul shows
money-rust.
He must live within his income.

Another interesting Ideal comes from
a little town in Pennsylvania and Is as
follows:

all women. He is handsome Of face and
figure and thinks that / am the "One

home with my Ideal Man. to which he
would hurry at night because / made 1t
happy for him. Our evenings would be
spent together. He would not be like
the men who fail to cherish Sentiment

before. He would not forget to pay me
the same small and courteous attentions
when he was my husband that he gave
me as my lover.

possible that all of the state ballots

court, in which Attorney John Green
Of Mfnot asked that the secretary Of

Roosevelt Makes Great Fight.

The national republican convention
opened at Chicago Tuesday, but at
this riting, no one has been nomi-
mated. Rooseelt is in attendance and
welding his old time power but it is
problematical whether he can be nom
mated or not. The first fight came
for temporary chairman when Tart's
man Root was elected over Roose-
velt's candidate, McGovern Of Wis
consin, by vote of 55S to 500. The
Wisconsin and North Dakota dele
gates voted for McGovern. There
were many exciting demonstrations
for Roosevelt. Bryan is attending
as a newspaper reporter and seems
to be enjoying himself.
Taft won practically every contested
delegation, having complete control
Of the committee on deleates. The
steam roller process is working
nicely. It was reported late this a.
ternoon that the Taft forces had
agreed to 90 for Gov Hadley Of Mis-
souri,. Great interest is taken in
Minot and crowds stand all day long
in front d the Offices Of the North
ern Telsphone Co., where bulletins
are postod every few minutes. Many
farmers telephone to the once each
hour to learn what the outcome may
be.
Late thu afternoon Roosevelt de-
cided to repudiate the convention and
take the BIT In his teeth and run IN
dependently. He released his dele
gates from any obligations, but asked
them to Join him In the AgAt for tAeiT
