 Last night Mrs. Rooevelt and I were sitting out on the porch at the back of the White House and were talking of you and wishing you could be sitting there with us. It is delightful at all times, but I think especially so after dark. The monument stands up dis tinct, but not quite earthly in the night, and at this season the air is sweet with the jasmine and honey suckle.

INSTALLMENT FOUR

President Mckinley was assassinat- ed in September, 1901, and Roosevelt immediately assumed the heavy re- responsibilities of office. His enemies, who thought him safeIy disposed of, found him in a position to wield the utmost power, but he did nothing start ling at first. The Roosevelt children were naturally excited by the change in their lives and explored Washing ton with great interest. Not for one hour in the midst of his new duties, did the president lose his intimate touch with all the dreams and whims of childhood.
 The president not only sent "pic- ture letters" to his own children, but an especial one to Miss Sarah Schuy- Ter Butler, daughter of pr. NIcnofas Murray Butler, president of Columbus university, who had written to him a little note of coneratuIation on his birthday at the White House.

TEACH THE CONSTITUTION.

C. w. Barron in Boston News Bureau
First and foremost has got to be
fought out the problem as to whether
the constitution of the United States
protecting the right of the individual
to make material progress to accum-
ulate and to save is to be protected.
The first reform necessary lis tc
put behind the flag at every school
house the constitution of the United
States There 81 ould never he a
graduation certific ate or a diploma Is
sued to a West Point cadet a state
university student, a high school
scholar or "a grammar school pupil
who has not passed an examination
and shown his knowledge of the
meaning OF the constitution of the
United States and its representative
form of government,
In the political agitation that has
gone ON, it seems almost to have bee,
forgotten that great as is the consti-
tuition of the United States, its great
ness consists in the freedom it gives
to individual enterprise and for com
binations of enterprise and capital
the protection it gives to individual
inventors, and the stimulus it fur
nishes to individual initiative.
Z. S. spells not only combination"
but wealth and independence as the
reward for business enterprise which
enlarges output. improves quality and
reduces prices.
1T is thus that here the people are
better and more abundantly fed and
clothed and let it never be forgotten
that labor consumes more than 90
per cent of what it produces

various countries of Europe to investi-
gate labor conditions. His report has
never been published and probably
never will be. How Mr. Samuels
managed to secure this commission is
an unsolved mystery Senator Nugent
is understood to disclaim responsible
ity for it, but as he is the only demo-
crat in the congressional delegation
from Idaho, and as the administration
would naturally require his endorse
ment before making the appointment,
the senator Is still under suspicion.
Mr.. Samuels stated while in Lewis
ton that the nonpartisan league is
growing rapidly in Idaho, Washington
and Montana. 1t is impossible to be-
lieve that the league is growing in the
northwest for to do SO would be an
imputation against the patriotism of
the farmers. The conviction of the
leader of the league upon charge of
disloyalty, the disclosures in connec-
ton with the failure of the Scandi-
navian American bank at Fargo, the
loss of credit of the state of North
Dakota as shown by the inability to
sell bonds as a basis of the state bank,
and the chaotic condition that pre-
walls in business and governmental
affairs throughout the state, all due to
the control of the state by the nom
partisan league, combine to present
an object lesson that will prove an eff
fective warning to the farmers of
Idaho and the northwest. Aside from
the proved unsound theories of gov
eminent, the leaders and active
agents of the nonpartisan league have
been and are still in active coopera-
ton with the l. W. W. and other
known enemies of the government
These facts are all well known to the
farmers of Idaho and for this reason
1t is impossible to believe Mr.. Sam
uels statement that the nonpartisan
league is growing in this state. On
the contrary information from south
Idaho indicates that thousands of far
mers have withdrawn from the organ
ization, and that agents of the league,
who receive a commission on adj
membership fees collected are having
a hard time to earn enough to meet
the high cost of living

NUGENT RETURNS.
Spent Summer at Gold Properties In
Marshall Lake District.

A. E. Nugent, one of the well known
and capable mill men of the Occur
IA Alene district, returned last week
from the Marshall Lake district in
Idaho county, where he has long been
interested in valuable placer and
quartz gold properties He went
down there about four months ago.
He and his associates were engaged in
driving crosscut on the gold prop
'erty, upon which a vein of high grade
gold ore has been opened higher up.
The great forest fires that ragedin that
section of the state greatly intefered
with their work For many weeks
they were engaged in fighting fire,
Mr.. LNugent having charge of large
force employed by the forest service
When the fire menace was overcome
Inc season was too late to complete
the crosscut and the work was soon
thereafter abandoned for the winter.
1he elevation of this property is over
300 feet above sea level. Mr.. Nugent
mas returned to Wallace for the win
ter and will probably be employed in
one of the mills.

PARTISAN LEAGUE.

The nonpartisan league will have .

next year, according to H. F. Samuels
who seems to be the chief spokesman
for that discredited organization in
this state. In company with Ray Nc

Of the league and to enlighten the
people upon his observations in Eur

theme OF many Of the great speeches
delivered by Theodore Roosevelt II
was to developing and Strengthening
the spirit of Americanism that he de-
voted his marvellous abilities and II
was the subject of his last appeal to
his countrymen. On October 16, In
Chicago, at a time when the poison OF
pro German propaganda threatened
the security of our country, Colonel
Roosevelt defined true Americanism in
these words:
I'VE may just as well definitely
face the fact that no man can
ever be good American, no man
can ever he a really first class
citizen ~of the United States, UNI
less he is an American and moth
ing else. Recent events have
shown us that the effort to COM
bine loyalty to this land with
loyalty to any other can only re-
suit in weaking the loyalty to this
country. Washington and Lincoln
were Of English descent, but they
were not English Americans.
Their loyalty was undoubtedly and
whole heartedly to the United
States and to all of the people of
the United States in every part
thereof In international rela-
tons they judged England pre-
cisely as they judged all other ma
tions; that is, in any given crisis
they judged every foreign nation
exactly in accordance with its
conduct in that crisis; they were
as incapable of the meanness of
unreasoning malice and hatred to-
ward any particular nation as Of
meanness of trucking to it and
making it's interests superior to
our own. They set the standard
of Americanism which all of our
citizens should follow in their re-
lations with one another, in their
attitude toward their own coun-
try, and in their attitude toward
each and all foreign nations"

THERE is NO HYPHEN IN TRUE
AMERICANlSM.

At recent meeting of the repub-
lican press association of south Idaho
at Boise a resolution was adopted de-
claring that the advocacy of read Am
ericanism was the most pressing duty
Of the press of the country and pledg
ing the members of the association to
make that the distinguishing feature
: their publications. If there is one
thing that has always distinguished
the republican press it has been its
firm loyalty to the government in
peace and war. But the south Idaho
editors evidently recognize that the
conditions throughout the country at
this time present such a menacing
threat to our free institutions that
other questions lose their Importance
for the time being and their energies
may well be devoted to greater ex-
tent in expounding the doctrine OF
true Americanism. Their action is
deserving of commentator and their
example should be followed by every
citizen who regards the preservation
OF our system of government as his
first and supreme duty This was the

AMERICANISM DEFINED.
(Chicago Trilbune)


Americanism as expressed in the
constitution represents confidence in
popular government balanced by a
wise consideration of the faults OF
impulse inherent in our human ma
ture. 1t turns to all the people for its
source of power, but, like the wise
and experienced man who has studied
himself, 1t places upon that power
checks against passion prejudice and
sudden impulse. The tyranny of ma
iorities it avoids, and also that of mi
norities. Americanism is the doctrine
of progress through individual liberty
and equality of opportunity 1T is OPP
posed to attempts to create and main
tain artificial equality by law. 1t
does not grudge fairly won prosperity
or success. 1t is too self respecting
and too confident for that. 1t places
its confidence of progress upon edu-
cation and free discussion, upon in
formed opinion and intelligent con-
viction expressing itself in an orderly
way at the ballot box. and finally,
when decision is made, upon loyal ac-
ceptance of the results. Americanism
is not guaranty against all the ills
of life or against all the faults of hu-
man character 1t is not a panacea.
It is rather broad highway. on which
liberty loving men can march for
ward in their own strength. 1t is
worth defending and preserving

THE RIGHT TO EXIST.
(Boise Statesman


There is great deal of discussion
these days as to the right of one
Gloss and another to do as it pleases
without consideration for the safety
and welfare of the great body of the
American people
The Boston police maintained that
they had right" to strike and leave
Boston at the mercy of lawless rioters.
New York longshoremen claimed a
right to strike while tens of thous-
ands of pounds of perishable food
spoiled on the docks, thereby sending
prices higher Railroad employees
claim that they have a fright" to
strike and paralyze the entire indus
trial life of the nation. Coal miners
are now threatening to ushrdlushrdlu
have used their right" to strike, even
though the exercise of that right"
will bring incalculable suffering to
hundreds of thousands of people If the
strike results in an acute fuel short
age.
Some years ago there was a rail-
road strike in France Clemenceau
ordered out the soldiers and ran the
trains.
BY what right do you employ con-
scripted soldiers to run trains?" the
leaders of the striking French train
men demanded.
''The right of the community to ex-
ist," replied Clemenceau.
The French premier used a telling
phrase. The people of the United
States are beginning to realize now
hat they too have right to exist

TRIBUTE TO THE PROSPECTOR
AND MINING INDUSTRY.

An eastern banker, being taken to
task by some .of his associates in the
banking business for having invested
quite extensively in western mines
this being regarded as a gross viola
ton of the traditional conservatism
that Is presumed to control banking
in the effete east, made this eloquent
reply, according ITO Colorado ex-
change:
Throughout the Rocky Noun
tains, in ages gone, God builded
stronger vaults in His granite
banks than ours. He filled these
vaults with gold, silver and cop
per. He gave the prospector
knowledge and insight, and guild
ed him on his way to the door of
the bank vault. The federal gov
eminent handed him his patent
title to all therein. 1t Is no crime,
but a virtue to enter. With drill,
blast, pick and shovel the poor
man broke the combination lock
and entered But for him our
notes in issue would he as the
stump tail currency of 1857.
But for him this government
would he bankrupt. Mines will be
producing millions in gold, silver
and copper in that future day
when national banks are UNI
known. Remember, a mine is
simply a crop, already raised,
harvested and deposited in the bin
or bank, You check it out at your
pleasure
''The wealth gathered from
mines immortalized King Solo
mon. Mining made Rome mistress
of the world Mining made Great
Britain the worlds commercial
dictator. Mining has made the
United States the richest coun-
try in the world. Show me the
country that mas no mines and |
Will show you a people sunk in
degradation of poverty: and pow
erty makes towards Of nations as
well as men, Mining has trans
formed more broken men and
tramps into millionaires and
placed them into positions of hon
or and trust than any other bus
ness. Without the miner you
would not have any frying pan,
spoon or hat pin. Eliminate
the miner and you wipe out civ
ilization. A nations prosperity
depends largely upon the extent,
variety and development of it's
mineral resources"
