Roosevelt betrayed the Repub-

him. He betrayed the Progress
i've party-the party that he
made. He would now betray the
whole people in believing that be-
cause of his return to the Re-
publican party that is not the
same old party-the party Of
Smoot, Payne and Aldrich. Be
cause we are not at war with
Germany, and that the Mexican
trouble, which was in full blast
during his administration, has
not been adjusted to suit his
swashbuckling tendencies, he is

FISH Indifferent TO NOISE
Popular Belief Of Anglers 10 Disproved
by Scientific Inquiry Recently
Conducted.

Contrary to general opinion, a num-
Der Of motor boats cruising about a
harbor with more or less noisy engines
have no %appreciable effect upon the
fish in nearby waters. It has long been
thought, particularly by fishermen,
that the presence of a noisy motor
boat would drive the fish away. Ex-
haustive experiments recently conduct
ed by the bureau OF fisheries prove
this theory to be incorrect.
In testing the effect OF motor-boat
noises on fish a number Of young soup,
known to be sensitive to sounds, were
placed in a large wooden cage. This
cage was fastened in quiet water at
the end Of a wharf, and a motor boat
with a very noisy engine was run at
varying distances past the cage. At
no time did the fishes appear to be
disturbed by the noise. except when
the splash from the boat hit the cage.
Then the soup would generally dive
to the bottom Of the receptacle.-Popu.
lar Science Monthly.

For the past year Republican
critics have been blaming Wilson
for not shaking the mailed fist
at Mexico. Now is a chance for
these critics to show their met
tie. Those who want war can
get it. Wilson has kept us out
of it as long as he could. Now
expect the Wilson crowd
to set up a roar to stop the
fight, and as soon as war is de-
clared you will hear them saying
that Wilson should have kept us
out of it. But regardless of all
these criticisms, the people are
with Wilson. They know that he
has faced a most difficult situa-
ton and that he has done all that
any human being could do.

Always this statement accompanied

did his duty as nurse and relative,
and sighed doubtingly as he realized
that both his uncle and his one prop

his odd home wat called, were fast
speeding along a downward path.
Ransom Brill was a mere lad, an
orphan, and working for a poor farm

OF ten years returned to Irving
ton, his native village. Markham had
come back with a great fare Of trump
cts. He had hit "a rich streak" in a
Colorado gold mine and had set out to
enjoy life. Certainly his actions indi-
Gated the possession of some means.
He bought a high-priced building lot
at the edge Of the town. Then he pro-
ceeded to erect the RookeTy. He
never completed It. There were grand
doings when the ceremony of laying
the cornerstone" and christening of
the building took place. In this none
Of the villagers, not even Ransom,
was invited to participate.
Uncle Rufus had sent for a group

paid their fare East. He had wined
them and dined them. There was a
