During his recent tour of the west, speaking and working for
the Fourth Liberty Loan, Colonel Roosevelt, while at Billings,
where he addressed in characteristic manner a great audience,
penned the following self explanatory letter to Robert D. Carey,
Wyomings next governor:
Northern Hotel, Billings, Mont October 5, 1918.
Hon. Robert D. Carey, Careyhurst, Wyoming.
Dear Mr.. Carey:-On my trip to Billings I have passed
thru Wyoming, and I find to my very real pleasure that you are
a candidate for Governor on the Republican ticket. You would
have been a colonel or lieutenant colonel in my division for ser
vice in France, if had been allowed to raise them; you would
have made a first class fighting colonel; and you will make a first
class fighting governor for the rights and interests of every man,
woman and child in Wyoming, You are a practical working farm
er and stockman Unidentified, by your life and your method of earn
ing your livelihood, with the farming, the stock raising and the
industrial interests of Wyoming, and therefore. of the whole west.
You understand and sympathize with the peculiar needs of the
very people whose interests we are most enxious to see cared for
by our public servants. l regard you as among the ablest and
most farsighted public servants of the country; and you possess
in marked degree the saving grace of common sense. l feel that
your election would mean very much for Wyoming and for our
whole country; and as q good American citizen, l earnestly aDiSl
success to you, and to Senator Warren, and to all y0nr other associ
Gtes on the ticket.
With hearty regard, Sincerely yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

The Perfect End of Der Tag"
Cincinnati Enquirer )

America and the world celebrates the final eternal everlasting twilight that marked the close of der tag" which found it's terrible dawn in August of 1914.
 For 40 years Germany and the Germans waited and prepared for "der tag which was to introduce pan principles and the dominion of the civilized Powers of the earth through Mttel Europa.
 For more than four long, frightful, war-weary years Belgium, France, Great Britain and finally America and other allied nations struggled against this to civilization and freedom. And there times when that horrible dawn of "der tag darkened the heavens of the allied countries, when Belgium tottered, when France forced back to very environs of Paris by the terrible impact, when Russia crumped and when Great Britain trem- bled, her indomitable men fighting with their backs to the wall.
 Wonderful was the heroism of these sanch nations History has and never will record more awful suffering bravely borne
 Then, when the shadows had deepened to the very depths of darkness and Paris threatened for tn second time, Cantigny and Chateau Thierry and the Amercans
 And with this new factor the great struggle came the beginning of the end of "der tag' of the Germans
 Fresh fighting troops from America-thousands of miles away-came in millions They have been gen. erally credited by all brave allies with having turned the tide in the affairs of back toward decency democracy and civilization. It wps Amer- ca's opportunity. How well she seized and improved this opportunity is a matter of history and one of it's happiest and brightest pages.
 Naturally, proud wonderfully, justly, par donably proud of Americas part, just the of the civilized world is truly wonderfully properly grateful. But isn't this the time for America each and all of us, along with rejoicings to mediate on the awful struggles and heroic efforts al lied neighbors before entered the conflict? Ger tanly we must be equally proud of the fact that other nation had such brave fearless -sacr- hcing allies have had.
 Another thing, these same nations with whom we have fought shoulder to shoulder in to be our next-door neghbors throughout all of the happy cades in the of peace that has arrived notwth- standing thousands of intervening miles to the con trary.
 It has been a terrible experience and the cost ir blood of the bravest has been beyond estimate. but the ties of love and friendship been ndissolu- ply cemented by the martyred lives of .the missing who have marched to that undiscovered country from whose bourn traveller returns"
 What wonderful world it is that faces the coming years! How marveously, beautifully different it is from that which threatened the blood-red dawn of ''der tag of four years ago.

not get the right husband is because she is afraid of being left
 Another good bet is that there wouldn't be much visiting done if the men had to do it.
 What has become of the o. f. man who used to sit in the kitchen with bowl on his head while his wife trimmed his hair?
 There are all sorts of henpecked men. But one of the most hopeless examples is the fellow who has to borrow his spending money from his wife.
 And a man wouldn't mind his wife losing her temper if she would only lose the doggone thing permanently.
 Love may be blind. But it is wonderful how soon marriage will open Loves eyes.
 The "uncorseted figure" is merely one way of describing the way a girl looks when she is proud of her shape and dresses that way.
 And what has become of the 0. f woman who had to have a good cry every day?
 Some men are so useless that you get the idea that Nature gave them heads so they would have something to hang their hots on.
 A man may be too busy to make friends. But you may have noticed that he is never too busy to make enemies.
 A girl doesn't always cross her knees when she is sitting in a street car just because she is more com fortable in that position. Maybe she is wearing new pair of silk stock ings.
 There was a time when girls exist ed only to marry. But nowadays they are too wise to marry only to exist.

 The Rev. Dr. Howard Duffieid, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, in Fifth avenue, New York; has made this church one of the most patriotic centres. Not only does he preach at every Sunday ser vice in the uniform of the United States, with no vestments over 1t, but he conducts funerals and we'd dings wearing the khaki. He has announced he thinks there is more religion in that than in any Geneva black silk gown, and he will wear only the uniform until German mlll- tarism has been brought to terms.

 The road was named afer General Wilds r. Richardson, president of the Alaska Road Commission from 1905 until 1917 when he was assigned to active duty with the Amer lcan Forces in France. As result of Gen efal RicLaFdsons effCcts the Government carved the road through the wilderness to open path to the Territory's interior.
 Smoking volcanoes glaciers perpetually white peaks, jagged cliffs mountain tor rents and great valleys greet the tourist who takes the railroad here and continues his journey to Fairbanks over the highway After the war, it IS hoped here the road will become one of the best travelled of Ameri- cas- scenic highways. Tourist can load their automobiles on steamers at Seattle and have them unloaded at Cordova for the trip to Fairbanks
 "Roadhouses dot the highway at about every ter miles, Automobile stages make regular trips summer end winter with mail They take about thirty-six hours to run from Chitina to Fairbanks. In winter the stages are equipped with eighteen inch wheel rims for snow travel.
