Col. Theodore Roosevelt may recon

today that he may accept the chai

and carry the preparedness doctrine
into Iowa, Nebraska and other mid

vcntions open.
Should this tour receive the old
Rooseveltian demonstrations. the

Chance for Improvement

Clio has a splendid reputation
throughout the entire county for en-
terprise and thrift and that sort of
team work which goes to upbuild a
community, and from the depths of our
heart we are glad to be identified. in a
modest way. with such town. Indeed,
we feel like emitting one big hurrah
when anyone talks to us about it, as
frequently they do, but there is one or
two little places where we could do
things that would add very greatly to
our reputation and need cost but very
little. The chiefest thing we think of
now in that connection is q cleaner
Clio. There are several places where
trash, some garbage and riff-raff of
various kinds accumulates that should
be cleaned up and kept clean, We are
not talking about some one else now,
for one of those places is in the rear of
The Messenger Office and we helped to
make it unlovely and possibly unsani-
tary. But we want to help make it
better and we cannot help figuring how
much it would add to the reputation of
our town, if, in addition to telling how
enterprising and prosperous place it
is, people could only say how clean and
tidy it is. A little personal effort would
do all this and, if necessary, the munic-
ipality could help little. We can't
imagine truer expression of official
conservatism than helping to keep the
town clean. One epidemic of typhoid
might result in the loss of several USE
full citizens and the expenditure of a
large sum for sanitary measures that
would be taken too late to be of full
value. 1t is we'll to remember that
such sanitary measures as were suffi-
cient twenty or twenty-five years ago
will not do now, because we live very
much closer to each other than we did
then and there are about twice as
many of US. Why wouldn't general
clean UP day be good thing? Get the
ashes and rubbish into accessible heaps
and then let the village cart them away
and fill some hole in the highway. If
this could be done at once before
plowed gardens make the back yards
inaccessible it could be done Thoroughly
and would result in big public i'm
provement.

Germany is being as much maligned

"A fisherman leaped in and saved the
woman. Then he modestly demanded
the promised $40 from the fat man.
But the fat man bit his lip and said:
I'm sorry, my dear fellow, but
there has been some mistake. You see,
it wasn't my wife you saved, after all.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach

caused by an infamed condition of the mu-

this tube Is nfiamed you have n rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when it Is
ehtlrely closed, Deafness Is the result. and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out

 This bluff reminds us of the story of the man who was going to visit the Brooklyn navy yard, whether or no, and gave the soldier on guard a line of talk much resembling that in dulged in by the Times. The soldier to the irate citizen for a time and then picked up small piece of wood that had been knocked of the big gates and handed it to the sight seer with the remark that the visi- tor might be citizen and a part own CT of the yard all right, but if so the splinter represented about his share and he could take 1t and beat 1t.

IT IS really amusing to read pre- election prophecies of the fellows who think they are some politicians. We have before us a. newspaper in which 8 lengthy, interview 5Hi}h: William A. Gilmore, a former Nomefte. who had an eager eye cast in the direction of the governorship of Alaska, in the event of republican success in the presidential election. Gilmore had just returned to Seattle, after an ex- tended tour of the east. and made what he considered careful analysis of the political situation. He said that President Wilson would proba- bly carry the solid south, an easy achievement for any Democrat. but other than the states south of the Mason and Dixon line he would not be in the race at all. He could see nothing but Hughes. Some of us fel- lows up here thought the same thing, too. Which goes to prove that poli- tics is 8 mighty uncertain thing Anchorage Times.
