and weaken him. and put him at their
mercy in 1904. They did not want him
ever to reach the White House.
It is a fact that Mfr. Roosevelt did
not desire second place on the ticket
with Mr.. Mckinley in 1900. and some
what for the reason that he had his
eye on the nomination for frst place
four years later.
But il is also a fact that the bosses
did not draft him for their purposes /;
that his nomination was due to an ir-
resistible popular demand, and that
when the nomination was made he was
advised by his friends to accept II, and
did accept it on thsir representation
Of the situation.
He was told that declination wsuid

The bosses, we may ali be sure,

did oppose him even as matters stood
that year. But he had SO strengthened
himself in the Office that grim fortune
and not the ballot had besto~ed upon
him, that their opposition soon faded
away, and he was nominated by ac-
eiamat;en. And four years later, when
he declined to consider another nom.

enough to name his successor.

Resolutions On Death
Of Miss Irene Mathews

The Junior Woman's Missionary
Society of Central Baptist church
has written the following resolutions
on the death of one of the beloved
members of this society:
Whereas, the spirit of Miss Irene
Mathews took its departure from

of November 20, therefore, be it
Resolved: First, that in the going
of this beloved sister our society has
sustained distinct loss, and her
family and friends a sore bereave-
ment. And while she had been
member less than a year, and not
able to attend regularly never the
less, she was always faithful and
cheerful contributor to the work fos-
tered by our organization.
Resolved: Second, that while we
sorrow, we know she has gone to
God, for before going she express
herself as being resigned to the
Lords will, and had no fear for she
was conscious of His presence, feel
ing that whatever came all would be
well. AS she was conscious of the
Holy Spirit, may the family also
have this same Divine Comforter to
sustain them in this seemingly un-
timely separation. May they sorrow
not as those that have no hope, but
await with confidence the coming of
that glad day when families now
broken and scattered shall be reunit-
ed around the throne of God and the
Lamb
"Resolved: Third, that we express
our deepest sympathy for the below
ed brothers and sisters ard that a
COPY of these resolutions be sent to
them, and also that they be placed
upon the minutes of the Junior Nom-
ans Missionary Society of the Cen
tral Baptist Church.
