The Chicago convention seems to have been a sort of
glorified reproduction of the Republican teiiitoiiul con
vention in Seward. There were the same efforts the night,
before to bring the Regulars and Progressives togethei
and the Progressive convention lias ended up by leaving
the selection of a presidential candidate to a committee.
William Howard Taft, according to today s dispatches, ex
pects to see tiie two wings of the party come together now
and what he means is. probably, that Roosevelt will decide
to eliminate himself. Should this happen it will be inter
esting to watch what will be done in Alaska. It would be
a safe bet that the Alaska committee entrusted with the
selection o: a candidate will not select Wickersham with
Roosevelt out of the running outside.
A little bail weather, slowness in securing railroad
money and one or two other little matters make a first
class combination from which to produce the blues.
After two years of war we are gradually beginning to J
get glimpses of some of the first events as they really
were. In the latest Everybody’s magazine to come Sir. A.
Conan Doyle gives the story of the battle of Mons after
ha\ing sought information from large numbers of the
men engaged. He also tells of the journey of the first
British expedition into France. Some of the facts aN?
striking. For instance, the soldiers on the way to the
ships marched down between great funnel shaj>ed walls
of canvas and with the imagination that has made Doyle
fa* ious he remarks that the men poured into that funnel
and disappeared for ever from Britain. In a few years
f»*om now all of us who are alive will he able to read of
events of our own time that will make the Iliad look like
the relation of quiet pastoral scenes by comparison.
me suiieiueui mat iouowing ins nomination
President Wilson will make peace moves one has it borne
home to his mind that on the convention that will take
place Wednesday at St. Louis will occur an event that
may have a tearing on the fate of civilization. It shows
the position which the L. S. has come to occupy.

MRS. CONC KLIN. ROGER
WILLIAMS KIN IS
FARMER AT 80
MARION, 0., June 6. — Sixty-one
years ago today Eunice Concklin, a
direct descendant of the historically
famous Roger Williams of Rhode
Island, and D’Estaning Salisbury
Covert of Cincinnati, plighted their
troth in the spacious drawing room of
the pictursque Concklin home here.
The furniture and mural decora
tions of the room are the same as
they were the day that Salisbury, now
dead, claimed his bride, who is now
in her eightieth year.
Despite her age she is a student of
intense and scientific farming.
She manages the largest agricultur
al lands in Marion county, left her by
her father, who bought 2,000 acres
from the government for $1.50 an
acre in 1821.
Mrs. Covert’s mother, Sophia
Sweetser Concklin, taught President
Rutherford B. Hayes his letters in
school at Delaware, Ohio. Mrs.
Covert says that Hayes, when Presi
dent-elect, claimed Mrs. Concklin give
him his first start toward the presi
dency of the United States .
Since receiving her large inherit
ance, Mrs. Covert has been her own
business agent. With her farmer ten
ants, she plans the crops and is al
most as active as when a girl.
She is busy every minute and
claims she has never found time to
grow old—that she is “always busy
doing something.”

1916—POLITICS—1916
How can the political aspect affect
Seward? What does it matter to us
what the President’s answer to Ger
many is? Or how the Mexican situa
tion is handled. We are not doing it.
Seward will still be Seward and oc
cupy the same place on the map one
hundred years hence. Headquarters
for the U. S. government in Alaska—
By that time we will have an auto
mobile road to Kenai Lake. An air
line to Nome. But you can hardly af
ford to wait that long. You might
just as well wise up—Now. We are
tired of making predictions. Every
thing will be alright anyway. But to
make it double pure, you should trade
where you get the Best Goods, honest
weights, and surely the best treat
ment. We carry' everything in the
General Mdse, lines, everything for the
home or trail. If you don’t see it,
ask for it. We have it. Don’t say
