SOURCE OF SALVATION.
_ •
A letter sent to and received by the
Progressive candidate for the gover
norship of New Jersey says that un
til the Republican party has actual
ly purged itself, and until it accepts
in good faith every single plank of
the Progressive platform, protests of
good intention will be idle. “Every !
single plank” was written by Colonel
Roosevelt, who is also the author of
the letter. With characteristic mod
esty he refrains from saying that on
ly through him can purification come; !
that he is the only source of salva- i
(ion. What could be simpler? A great
party is not unutterably bad, and a
redeemer offers his services. All it I
has to do is accept them and it be
comes possessed of every virtue and I
dispossessed of its infirmities. It '
seems almost a crime not to close j
with such an offer.—Denver Post.
IT’S GOSPEL TRUTH.
All kinds of property rise and fall
together with the advance or reces
sion of the business of the place
where they are located. If a new
habit of spending money at home
could come about, it would increase
the business of the retail stores,
more clerks would be employed, and
the proprietors and their employees
would keep an increased amount of
money in circulation.
The practical result would be that
every one who owns any property
here would sooner or later get the
benefit.
The real estate owner would find
new comers bidding for his property.
The retail store would see its sales
and profits grow larger. The profes
sional man would have a larger con
stituency.
To every property owner, then, ev
ery purchase made at home brings
some secondary return. Some of the
money he spent comes around to him
again.
In practice when a property owner
buys elsewhere he throws away a re
bate check that is his when lie buys
at home.
WE ARE GOING TOO FAST.
This country is afflicted with a
speed mania that has invaded every
avenue of human endeavor. Automo
biles dash about with a recklessness
and speed that fills the news depart
ments of the daily press with lists of
killed and maimed. The fastest trains
are too slow, the electric cars are
speeded to the limit and the motor
cycles are keyed up sixty to seventy
miles an hour. The man with a few
thousands wants millions and the
millionaire places his aim at bill'ons.
Our Secretary of State, with an in
come of $20,000 a year, says he must
work to earn enough to keep him
out of the poor house in his old age.
If this sum is necessary to avert
such a calamity, the government bet
ter turn its national reserves into
poor farms for the bulk of us. Some
people even say they are rather sor
ry they did not live a hundred years
ago when life was much less com
plex.
A town, unlike a city, is no place
to foster jealousies and nourish con
tentions. All should learn to know
that whatever will conduce to the
welfare of a town cannot injure her
citizens. The disposition made man
ifest by her citizens point to her
downfall or rise. The character of
the people make the town,:,not her
•structures, towering houses,.. domes
and monuments, and when people
lose interest in the promotion of their
town they need not hope to thrive.
Harmony among the people of a com
munity is indicative of its progress.
Miners cannot be at variance with
one another and prosper; merchants
cannot, churches cannot, nor can any
similar organization or community.
It is a matter of courtesy to your
guests to give their names to the
newspaper when they are visiting
you. The only exception to this is
when you have unwelcome visitors
and are glad to get rid of them. In
| thaf case, of cour.ie, you are not ex
pected to hand the Item in for pub
lication.
Where Governor Sulzer missed it
was in riot retiring austerely after
the lower house of the New York
legislature impeached him. If he had
stepped down, buttoned his long black
coat around him and announced with
dignity that his heart was broken, he
might have been elected again next
year. However, men of his type nev- ■
er know when it is time to quit.
With regard to the report that
England has secured the concession
for another Isthmian cknal by the
Atralo route, the United States can
furnish her a couple of good men to
take charge of the work in the per
sons of Colonels Goethals and Gor
gas. But wre would not advise those
gentlemen to wait for her to start
the job.
The United States supreme court
sustains the Indiana state board of
health on the benzoate of soda ques
tion. Incidentally it tends toward
the view that pure food legislation
is a matter of state jurisdiction,
which is true theoretically, but in
sufficient :n practical working.
A summary way of running prac
tical politics is to throw insubordi
nate representatives into prison and
have outspoken members shot. Our
bosses have not yet risen to that
height and President Wilson, in tell
ing congress what it must do, is faint
and ineffectual beside Huerta.
Another strange thing about eti
quette is that you may wash your
hands in the finger bowl, but mustn’t
pick your teeth in the dining room.
You may also give the waiter half
a dollar, but you must not offer a tip
directly to the proprietor of the ho
tel. j

ALASKA SPEAKERS
SEATTLE BANQUET
Senator Roden Replies to Governor
Lester and the Washington Con
gressional Delegation.
SEATTLE, Nov. 10.—Two hundred
and fifty persons attended the ban
quet given by the Arctic Club as a
belated celebration in honor of "Alas
ka Day.” Governor Lester of -this
stale, was the principal speaker and
he pledged ihe support of the state
officers and of the state congression
al delegation to aid Alaska. The gov
ernor stated that he hoped in the
near future that Alaska would become
a part of Washington.
In reply Senator Hoden. of hlitarod,
stated that he hoped Washington
would become a part of the state of
Alaska, which would some day be
carved out of the northland with a
population of many millions.
The territory needed help, said the
senator, to become unbottled, the
conservation policy of the past seven
years having prevented development
and the territory had lost popula
tion.
Congressman Bryan, who attended
the banquet, pledged his support to
carry forward the policies advocated
by the Alaskan speakers. Senator
Jones in his speech said that the ef
fort to amend the Alaska railroad bill
would result in jeopardizing the
measure and he would oppose any
such amendments, because they would
certainly delay the passage of the
measure.

Small Stores Made Profitable
The amount of business done does not always depend on the
size of the store. Many small stores properly conducted
are doing more business than some of their larger neighbors
handling the sa'ne line of goods.
The amount of business done by a store of a given
size depends directly upon the effectiveness of lie methods
employed to draw trade.
C)ne of the most effective methods is the use of good
light—plenty of light—electric light.
