great contest Of 1886
History tells them that several
times In American elections. third

party which cast minority OF the
total vote.
The most notable eases in whicl,

parties are the election of Lincoln I'm
'ooo AMI the election of Wilson In
iol2. Both were minority Presidents
Both would doubtless have been dc

Bell made Lincoln President. Roose-
welt made Wilson President. Win

debe$ The Democrats are seriously
asking Themselves that question.
They know thar Roosevelt liz II mild

radical than Roosevelt. /, advocate,

MIR. Roosevelt had the contest been be-
tween Roosevelt and Inndon nionr
will vote for Mr.. I.rmkr. the Union
Pariy's candidate for the Presidency.
This loss to Roosevelt, estimated
by experts to be about five million
votes. will cause n Lamdon vlrtry. For
I'm example, II the Democrats wound
normally curry the state Of Wcst
Virginia by n $4,000 majority and
the new party receives. 5ll 900 votes
In West Virginia, 81 will give the
state To Iandon. In other words the
Rndicnls hold ihc balance of power
lf the balancc IL not thrown to
either side, then the Republican par
iy X assured Of success.
Personally | believe that Mr.. Ian
don can defeat Mr.. Roosevelt with
ont the aid Of n third party. For the
American people have come TO fear
the danger of complete dictatorship
which * present in the New Deal.
I'll" pc"pl" want AN end put TO ~
tacks upon the constitution which
i"ir fathers established In nm hour Of
turmoil To endure forever.
Mr.. I"mkc and tho Union party In
my opinion may do one thing and
that Is TO use what otherwise would u
u clos" election TO be- a IAndon Land
slide.
The few states that Roosevelt
would possibly carry may be- found
In the Republican column after the
election because Of the nronds made
In the strength Of Democratic Party
by the Union Party.
Union Party or no Union Party AT
this time IL looks like u Republican

When the bidding came around to
West he felt that he had q reasonably
good double. After all, the ace-king-
queen of trumps represented rather
tempting combination. We consider
South's redouble absolutely sound. He
had bid his spades only once in re-
Sponse to the double and his partner

never occurred to South that his part

that he would have to drop two OF his

How 1t Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.
"When in Rome"

T IFT Is hard for the non conformist.
~ We are addicted to comfortable
routine which makes nice existence
simply an orderly procession Of habits.
So we dislike and punish the in
dividualist and make him pay the
penalty of his desire to differ.
Hence, even If it occasionally IN
wolves q little extra effort or com
pliance with apparently petty non
sense it is wiser to follow the local
conventions, pursue the native pro-
cedure, thus assuring ourselves peace
of mind and easy getting along.
1t is this thought that is conveyed
in the expression, When In Rome do
as the Romans do" which, Of course,
in application has no geographical
limitation.
The line IS said to be based upon
the reply Of st. Ambrose (s4o-sD to
st. Augustine's inquiry to him as to
his practice In fasting, when ut Rome.
st. Ambrose answered:
when 7 am here, 7 do not fast on
Saturday. When I am at Rome I
fast On Saturday"

Natures Children
Barren Ground Caribou (Rangifer granti

The youngsters are lively, and in
few hours wobble about on their
shaky legs. They do not feign death,
as the deer babies do, but they can
Lie still without even blinking an eye
for some time. They have lovely soft
brown coats, well decorated with
splashes of white. At the end Of a
week they are heet-footed and frolic-
some. BY August they are one-third
grown and have accepted a grass diet.
Mosquitoes are the bane Of carl
bou's existence. These pests seem to
be equipped with ginlet beaks. They
arrive in hordes like clouds, and the
only way to get rid Of them is for the
caribou to travel swiftly against the
wind to dislodge the bloodsuckers.
Every part Of the animal is Of value
to the natives. II means food and
clothing to them. The Indians and
Eskimos sew the hides together for
tents. Fish hooks and spears are
made from the horn. The hide is
made into the warmest clothing
against the fearful Arctic cold. The
flesh and organs are used Sor food.
