bonds to go toward the erection of
school building in Crestview, to take
the place of the one destroyed by fire
last winter, will be held on the 18th
of this month. .v..
The insurance money on hand from
the destroyed building amounts to
$500. If the bonds sell at par this
will mean $4,000 available for the
new building. But if the bonds sell
below par, the amount they go below
will mean that much less for the new
building.
AS soon as possible after the bonds
are voted they will be validated, and
offered for sale. Bids for the con-
structing Of the building and plans
and specifications will be, advertised
as soon, as the law will permit 1t is

pendent upon mother, although We
pay ell the expenses for mother.
She owns the house and the furni-

Mother and my husband cannot

little things he does. She will not

with the unexpected news that Nc
Kfnley's condition was worse. AL
though he fastened to- Buffalo, the
president had died 10 hours before
the vice president arrived.
The new president requested all

self to continue unchanged the pol
icies Of his predecessor. He did
not mean to be either a Tyler or q
Johnson. Neither could he be a
Mckinley. He was Roosevelt, and
his administration became his own.
The money magnates and the
great corporations had financed Re-
publican success in the gold, and
silver campaign in 1896 and for
four years they had directed the
policies Of the party without ques-
ton from anyone. Huge combina-
lions, trusts and mergers were
swiftly bringing into the control
of 4 small group Of men the banks,
the factories, the mines, the forests,
the railroads. the wLule economic
life Of the country.
Theodore Roosevelt owed nothing
to the men and interests that had
been running the administration
and congress by long distance tele-
phone from New York. Nor had he
any selfish, personal gain to make
by challenging this powerful, in
visible government. The instant
popularity that he won in~the White
house assured his election to the
presidency, II he would only keep
quiet and not disturb business.
But he foresaw the time coming
when the people would reassert
their sovereign ascendencS and that
they would wreck the Republican
party IL It stood in the way. To
guard against its meeting that fate
and to avert a radical uprising, he
proceeded to unshackle his party.
A bare catalog Of the measures
Of Roosevelt's crowded administra-
ton. the first constructive admins
tration since the civil war, must
suffice here: the smashing Of the
Northern Securities company, which
stopped the plans for all other rail-
road mergers; the Interstate Com
merce act which brought railroad
rates under government control:
the Meat Inspection act. the Pure
Food law; the establishment of the
Department OF Commerce, with
power to investigate and report on
the books and business Of corpora
tons; the rescue Of lands, forests
and water power from the further
entertainments by private interests
and their conservation in the ma.
tional interest.

gress, against the desperate re-
