ADVERTISEMENTS

To put up in Central
Park an Equestrian
Statue of Col. Roose-
welt, in rough rider uni
form, located about 600
feet from the new en-
trance to the Park to be
made at 9th Avenue and
5oth Street, should en-
list instantly the generous sup
port of the people; it should
make them feel glad to con-
tribute whatever they want to
give toward a statue or memo
rial that will forever remind
them and the millions Of visitors
annually to New York of the
greatness and courage and hui
manity of Col. Theodore Roose-
velt-a man whose life and
deeds were, and are now, even
though he is not with us IN the
flesh, a source of inspiration to
all Americans.
This memorial to Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt would not be the
kind of memorial he would like
unless it came from the people
of New York State-the State
whose citizenship he crowned
with the glory of his achieve
inents.
Behold a Republic in which
every citizen is a sovereign but
in which no one cares to wear a
crown"
If the Empire State ever had
a citizen who deserved crown,
it was Col. Theodore Roosevelt,
but with all of his successes he
never by word or act indicated
shat he was anything more than
q plain citizen. He mingled
among US all and was proud to
be considered just one of us.
The heart of New York State
always beat in harmony with his
heart. They were one and IN
separable. &s ~; ~
II.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt had
foes in life. Of course. No man
without foes in life has hosts of
real friends.
A strong personality, a strong
character, an honest, God-fear-
ing and God-loving man in life
commands universal love and
respect in death. Friends and
foes rningle in their tributes to
Col. Theodore Roosevelt-the
man, the fighter in life and the
hero in death.
Don't you want to have
your name placed on the
honor roll of the Roosevelt
Central Park oriaI
League?
You may have it placed there
by sending what you can afford
to give-no matter how small or
large the a1nount-(this honor
roll is no respecter of persons
any more than Col. Theodore
Roosevelt made distinction
between the richest and poorest
among us)-to

A N D ON HON is
THIS JOKE

1t pays to read the advertise
ments. Last week the NEWS
carried message of the Mont
gomery Studio telling of spec
ial offer of IL photographs and
l enlargement (for last Satur-
day only) for $1.00.
There is no way of telling how
many people read the advertise
ment-some thought that the
offer was a fake, others did not
feel like acting SO quickly, and
many others "meant to but for
got it."
The truth of the matter is
as the fifteen who went to the
studio found out-the actual
value of the pictures is $1,000
and the NEWS inadvertently
changed the special price for the
one day only from SO to 81.
According to his high principles,
Mr.. Wamsley, of the studio,
made good the mistake and de-
livered the full $12 worth for
81. Now the question is, 'son
whom is the joke"-the NEWS,
the studio, or those who read
but did not heed the advertise
ment?

MASS MEETING WILL Be CALLED.

for the West on the afternoon train.
When this was discovered the Cham
ber of Commerce extended the invi-

Court House and mass meeting has
been called for that hour.
All stores and business houses will
be closed for an hour so that every
person can hear him and a special
invitation is extended to the farmers
and business men of the county.
Nobody knows what Mr.. James
will say-and, if he lives up to his
reputation, he will not think of his
speech until he has seen our farms,
our business houses, our roads, etc.
but what he will say will be right
to the point" said w. w. Scales, Jr.
yesterday in talking about the mass
meeting, "but you can depend on Mr..
James to hit the nail on the head
every time. His address will be
worth thousands of dollars to the
county, if his advice is followed"

". COHEN FOR TREASURER

Mr.. M. Cohen wishes the voters to

after the girl had ceased TO work in

Belonging to Jack Brown,

Madison Lake. November 12.-Sev-
eral Minneapolis business houses
were the victims OF a clever forger
this week. In some manner he Sc
cured check book belonging to Jack
Brown OF Madison Lake and issued a
hunter OF checks payable to X. H.
knapp, forging Jack Browns sigma
ture to the checks. The checks were
all cashed by Minneapolis business
firms where evidently he had made
purchases with the forged checks.
betore the checks were sent FOR col
lection the Peoples State bank re-
ceived a letter sent from Minneapo-
lis warning them not to cash checks
made payable to R. H. Knapp as
they were forged. No name was
signed to the letter, but the uank
officials notified Mr.. Brown Of the
receipt of the notice. Apparently the
forger did not want Mr.. Brown to
stand the loss therefore notified the
tank not to pay the checks. Tues
day the bank received checks TO the
amount of $199, payable to r. H.
Knapp to recollection, but having re-
ceived warning refused to pay them.
