THE MARTIAL TEDDY"

Charles z. Hughes, should invol-
unfairly exclaim, Lord, deliver me
from my friends!", Former President
Roosevelt may be ikened to the bear
that attempted to keep flies off the
mans face. The former President
IS repeating what he said when he
was in the White House he wants
universal military training.
While Mr.. Roosevelt is giving vent
to militarism he is supposed to be
advocating the election of Mr.. Hughes
as President. The former made him
self heard in Denver last night, where
he made pleas for universal military
training and criticism of President
Wilson. Colonel Roosevelt advocated
repeal of the Hay Military bill and
the restoration Of the militia to its
former status.

at Pays to Advertise"
Editor Gazette:

Editor Gazette:
In an article in yesterdays Ga
zette. attention was called to the fact
that many Alexandrians buy in Wash
inpton and do not patronize Alex
andria merchants. This is very true.
There are many Alexandrians who
earn their living in Washington and
are in that city six days a week.
Some of these people have oppor-
tunity of buying all they want and
anything they want in Washington.
The slogan at pays to Advertise
is a true one. If it IS not, why DO
Washington merchants advertise?
In looking over yesterdays Ga
zette, advertisements of some OF
Washington's best known department
stores were found, and but COM
parativcly few advertisements of AL
exandria merchants. There are ner-
chants in this city who never adver-
tise in a newspaper but who wait for
their trade to come to them. 1t is the
principle of "out Of sight, out of
mind" for the majority of people
partronize those merchants VINO keep
their names and the goods which they
handle Constantly" before the pub,
lie by advertising. Advertising once
in great while does but little good;
for people see it once or twice and
forget all about it. But when they
see the same firms advertisement
nearly every day, they cannot for
get it.
There arc some of Alexandiia's
merchants who advertise all the
the time, but there are others who do
not. These last should not. in all fair
ness, expect to compete with our own
merchants and those of Washington
who advertise, in our own city paper.
Further more, by advertising they
would not only help themselves but
would help the Gazette, the only
newspaper in Alexandria, city which
with its suburbs comprises about
twenty thousand people. T. j.

LAST WEEK OF CAMPAIGN

Two weeks from today the result
of the Presidential election OF 1910
will be known. AS we near election
dav. MANY who had from the flrsS
prophesied walk-over for Charles
F Hughes are revising their fore
casts. They now admit that the race
will be close, the winner probably
winning by a nose. Offers to bet hive
to one, eight to ten, ETC., upon the
success of the republican candidate
are no longer heard. In fact, bet
ting on even money now is not SC
MUCK in evidence.
Indications today show that the
friends of Woodrow Wilson were
right from the first. There is always
more or less braggadocia at the be-
ginning of campaigns. Make-bclle7e
bets are heard On every side, and
straw votes are taken Of indications
which way the country is going. 1t
is the same old story-the tailors
of Tooley street are not the people
of England.
The chief feature of the Presiden-
tial election betting yesterday in
Wall street, was the receipt Of mes
.sages from many parts of the coun-
try inquiring as to the odds and Of
;fering to make wagers. In almost
all instances the prospective betters
were anxious to back President Will
son.
AL the important wagers on the
curb were made at even money.
Some curb commissioners who have
been hung up with Hughes bets at
as high as 2 to ] sought TO stem the
Wilson tide by quoting odds OF 10
to 9 en- Hughes and S to 10 on Will
son. Such odds, however, were en-
tirely artificial and actual betting
was only on an even money basis.
The preponderance of Wilson money
caused a belief that the President
will soon be an odds-on favorite.
With the approach Of the cam
paign's end, the Republicans have
failed to "fnd a flaw in Woodrow
Wilson's armor," declared Franklin
X. Lane, Secretary of the Interior,
in an address at Syracuse. N. Y,
last night.
When Charles E. Hughes was
nominated, he said, he felt bit
nervous as to the outcome, because
he felt that if there had been any
great mistakes by the administra-
ton, Mr.. Hughes would reveal them.
"He was the Republicans strong
est man, and he has failed" the
secretary said.
Governor Tom c. Rye, Of Ten
nessee, candidate for reelection, adj
dressed an audience of 1000 people
at Bristol, Va. last night. He in
sisted that Hughes is candidate
without an issue and declared that
the American people already have
cast the die for the reelection of
Wilson.

Ham Sandwiches vs. Booze.

At every meeting held by the re-
publican county candidates lunch was
served after the speaking. Hot
coffee, sandwiches, with gum and
cigars for those who wished, made a
great hit with the people who never
failed to stay and spend half hour
or more visiting and talking with the
candidates. Ellis Small had charge
of the lunches and made decided hit,
so much SO that should he throw his
hat into the political ring next cam
paign ard run for office he would win
in walk. And what change in
methods of campaigning Only a
few years ago the big end of cam
paign fund went for whiskey, beer
and the debauchery of the voters; to-
day any candidate attempting such
methods would be swamped at the
polls, and defeat would be certain.
Now an appeal must be made to the
brain and heart, to the best that is in
men and women, and the cleanest
men stand the best. chance. 1t is
high time that whiskey and beer gave
way for ham sandwiches and coffee.
And yet some people insist that the
world is not getting better.

MILWAUKEE, CONTINUES
ACTIVITY NEAR ELK RIVER

People generally are on their toes
trying to discover which way the cat
is going to jump in the matter of
timber developments in Clearwater
county. 1t is we'll established that
the Milwaukee will tap the Washing
ton creek district, building from Elk
River down Elk creek to it's mouth
and up to Big Island. The last issue
of the Elk River Sentinel adds the
following information:
S. S. Crenshaw, who was in charge
of the survey of the Lochsa extension
of the Milwaukee up Reeds creek
onto the Pierce bench. is now making
reconnaissance survey of various
lines southeast and east of Elk River
in which the Clearwater Timber Co.
is particularly interested. Accom-
panied by Theo. Fohl of Orofno,
local manager of the timber company,
he came in from the Little North Fork
country Tuesday for supplies and left
the next day for the Gold creek reg

kin, cruisers for the Clearwater COM
pany who know the country being ex-
amined like a book. Future oper-
ations will require many semi-per-
manent logging roads that might in
some cases be undertaken as perma-
nent lines by the Milwaukee. The
North Fork, Little North Fork and
| Floodwood valleys lie so that they
would be the most likely of any
routes for such a track In any case
railroad likes to be well-informed
as to the topography and resources of
it's tributary country. AS an in
stance, Mr.. Crenshaw made a general
reconnaissance survey of the country
which is only now being surveyed in
detail for the Lochsa extension ten
years ago, before the Milwaukee S
coast extension was finished and long
before any public announcement OF
the branch which for the present ter

A Bird Story.

Deary, Latah County, Press: Last
Tuesday night, shortly after dark, a
great bird of some kind. apparently
somewhat smaller than a South Amer
ican condor, or the gigantic fowl that
saved Sinbad. the sailor, appeared
from out of the great somewhere
and perched in its immensity upon the
roof of Fred Peterson's barn. Fred
took crack At the monster with o.
caliber rifle and the bird sailed away.
Since Fred has not been able to find
any trace of the bullet, he is con-
vinced that the bird carried it away
imbedded in its anatomy. For some
time past Fred has been missing
chickens, and he believes the appear
ance of this bird, and its apparen Mt
familiarity with the premises, fur
nishes the key as to the whereabouts
of his absent poultry. While Fred
didn't say SO, it is likely that the
occurrence also frees nis mind of 8
suspicion that the editor, who is his
near neighbor. might in some way OIL
other have been implicated in this
chicken business. If so, we arr
grateful to the bird.

According TO Mark Twain.

When Mark Twain was editor of a
weekly newspaper one of his sub
scribers wrote him that he had found
a spider in his paper when it reached
him and inquired whether it was a
sign of good luck. The noted humor-
ist replied that the spider was simply
locking over the paper to see which
merchants were not advertising 50 he
could visit them, spin web across
their door and live contented ever
afterward.

was plenty of good things to eat with
Jamaica cocoa and homemade fudge.
After dinner round table talk on
potato culture and school ground i'm
provement occupied an hour. A pro-
gram of recitations and songs was
rendered by the pupils, followed by
fair. The children displayed 10
varieties of fruits and vegetables
grown in the district and could name
most of them. A social half hour
concluded the day, all wishing the
school the best for the year.

Pay Rolls Make Good Towns.

Elk River is a striking example of
what pay roll will do for town.
Wwith the big mill running only one

men are consumers of farm products,
including butter and eggs, and con-
tribute largely towards the prosperity
of our farming communities. What
we need is more saw mills, more pay
rolls, more consumers of farm pro-
ducts, more d, mand for labor. Why,
then, this continual howl against

The Republican plans to devote
much of its space to advertising the
resources of Clearwater county, and
knows of no better way than to run
series of cuts showing farm scenes.
The expense is not exhorbitant.
However, it is not within the reach
of this paper to stand it all, and We
are going to ask the farmers to pay
only the actual cost of getting their
cas- made. There will be no charge
for running them, together with a
nice writeup, showing how our
farmers have made progress. The
cuts cost from So to $3 The charge is
by the square inch, and will vary in
p' o ,oortion with the size Of the cut
ordered. Anyone having farm scene
is requested to bring. it in and talk
the matter over. Then send bunch

HERE'S YOUR OPPORTUNITY
TO GET RICH QUICK

Elk River Sentinel: The Clear
water county democratic machine says
it considers all white pine within a
days ride of Elk River worth $4 per
thousand feet on the stump, and all
pine, even that in the canyons back
of Pot Mountain, worth So. If they
are within mile of right then north
ern Minnesota white pine is worth at
least calculations $3.50. The logical
thing for them to do is to take a
bundle of money east and buy Cass
Lake white pine at SIS and get rich.

Paving HELPS OrofIno.

AS the fall mud deepens the bene-

We venture the prediction that 1917
will see more paving done in Orofino
than has yet been laid. And why
not? Everywhere people talk of the
great improvement in Orofino because
of its paved street. That is worth
while.
