ME THREE LIS. Roosevelt, RULE or RUN

The Sunday Oregonan discussing the outlook at

"The republican candidate for president must have the
approval and support of Theodore Roosevelt to win IN the
coming campaign Some of the asprants it may frankly
be said could not succeed with Rooseyets Endorsement

Our big contemporary has the situation sized up cor

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT

The oHlY-way to save is to decide
upon the very highest amount thai

put it away. Then make yourself

they produce by their labor. But
time will come when they can nc

work and the rest and happiness and
freedom from care which should bd

There Is another reason why peo-
pie should save money; and that is
that its possession will enable them
to do good to others. The satisfac-
ton gained from being able to giTd
substantial aid to others when we are
called upon to DO so is immeasurable:
or to lend money to some one who
needs a little capital to become sue
cessful himself. The rich and gem
erous men of this country, who made
their own money and spent less than
they made, probably have got mora
satisfaction out of being able to en-
dow universities, build Libraries, give
large amounts TO art galleries and
charitable institutions and improve
the condition of workers than in
making any other use of their money
To be able to help others is worth
all the effort required Of US to raise

!If you are idle, or sick, or poor,
however hard it may be to diminish
your wants, it will be harder to aug

and prosperous, or young, or in good
health, it will be easier for you to
augment your means than to dimin-
ish your wants. But, if you are wise,
you will do both at the same time,
young or old, rich or poor, sick or
well; and, if you are very wise, you
will do both in such way as to aug
ment the general happiness OF So
ciety."

money is making a beginning. We

cept Ohio, Pennsylvania and New

influence, and stood the test as gold

Imbued with this opinion, and

The people believe in him. admire

the state (132.513) was the largest
cast for state official. In the eleven

people of the state complimented
Mr.. Reed by giving him the largest
