He lies on the I slightest provocation and often 1 lies without provocation, fie is 1 especially active in plying his ! trade as a liar when by lying \ there is the prospect of advantage (C accruing to himself or to some 0 one ii. whose success he is in- c terested, usually in a political t way. He furnishes the country r with a continuous performance a of lying, and his boundless hypoc- e risy and wilful misrepresentation ' of persons who do not agree with him is a stench to the nostrils of fair-minded, truth-loving people. 0 And he has the arrant audacity j ^ to travel from one end of the country to the other talking about v O 4 lonno??A /Inn 1 4 U n <1 u o* jucu t urai. itiaj Liic j^uuu lj God save the republic if it must b depend upon such a man as he to 1 see that it gets a "square deal." v We would as readily believe that J.' souls are saved in dens of vice as (| to believe that Theodore ltoose- t velt is capable of doing anything 0 to better the condition of the h country. He is an ambitious, s scheming, deceitful politician b who would stop at nothing to j1 glorify himself. He has stabbed a in the back the man he selected " for the presidency three years J. ago because by so doing he sees t y an opportunity to wrest from; jj President Taft the Republican 1 nomination two years hence. If . v Christ were on earth and a re- o ward were offered for His be- v trayal. Theodore Roosevelt would get the reward. He would be the undisputed successor of Judas Iscariot. . \ p The latest evidence of Roose- 1 velt's hypocrisy and insincerity r is furnished by an incident of the s campaign for governor in New York State. Roosevelt is in the- ~ campaign in behalf of Republican Candidate Stirrson. Soanx- ious is he to see Stimson elected it means personal crlorv and noliti- :? eal ascendency for Roosevelt that he has gone out of the way to misrepresent the Democratic can- v didate, Mr. Dix, by stating thai j Mr. Dix was a director of the wall-paper trust. Mr. Dix says j the statement is without founda- h tion in fact and has demanded an apology of Roosevelt. The apol- h ogy will not be made?it is r.ot the Roosevelt way. The man ^ whose conception of decency is 1 f so contracted that he does not j hesitate to undertake to defame I the spotless reputation of a dead c man, can not he expected to be 1 f] fair to a living man. t I'uy for the IViilitiA. 1 No reasonable argument can ; \ be offered in opposition to the . bill which will be introduced in ( Congress next winter providing |( compensation for the National c. Guard of the various States. The only pay the militiamen now , v receive for their services is the per diem allowed them during 1< i, ^ .?? i.i. - tuc annual vncuinpmeru, <inci this tX is so small as to be almost negligible. Under the present law jj the militiaman must attend at least two drills monthly. He is allowed nothing in the way of compensation for the time he I h must necessarily lose from his t private employment to be present at these drills, and if the military >' law is strictly enforced he,is * subject to punishment for absenting himself from them. In v many instances it is a source of j, great inconvenience and financial loss for the militiaman to thus | r neglect his own alfairs to learn t the things a soldier should know, y jut so far the government has pven this phase of the matter ittle consideration. It is therefore little to wonder at that the National Guard lacks so much of )eing efficient, that it is poorly lisciplined and if war came i :ould not be depended upon to ender the kind of service the :ountry would need at the begin ling of # hostilities. Reasonable emuneration for the National Juard should be provided by Congress. Local Paper in the Home. The local paper should be found n every home. No child will j jrow up ignorant who can be aught to appreciate the home )aper. It is the stepping stone )f intelligence in all those maters not to be learned in books. Jive your children a foreign pa)er which contains not one word I ibout any person, place or thing vhich they ever saw or perhaps ?ver heard of, and how can you ixpect them to be interested? Jut let them have the home pa)er and read of persons whom hey meet, and places with which hey are familiar, and soon an nterest is awakened which inreases with every daily arrival ?f the local paper. Thus a habit ?f reading is formed and those hildren will read the papers all heir lives and become intelligent; nen and women, a credit to their ncestors, strong in their knowldge of the world as it is today. The Pillar of Judgment. A curious feature of the walls f Jerusalem is a stone block as | ?ig around as a flour barrel which xtends out from that part above j ^hich the temple stands to a istance of perhaps 15 feet. This flock or pillar hangs right over he rocky valley of Jehosuphat i'ith the Mount of Olives rising p its opposite side. According o the belief of the Muhammaans, it will be upon this pillar hat Mahomet will sit at the day f judgment, and Christ will ave His seat on the opposite ide of the valley.. There will e a fine wire stretched from he pillar across to the mountain, nd upon this wire ali mankind Hist walk on their way to eterity. As the people of the various elisions so those who believe in luhummadanism will be upheld y the angels and will reach safev the opposite side, whence they /ill ascend into heaven. The thers will drop down into the alley and perish. Cotton Up $3 Per Bale. The price of cotton advanced ractically $3 per bale Tuesday, 'he advance followed the census eport showing the crop to be liort half a million bales. THE INNOCENT CIGARETTE "You smoke thirty cigarettes day?" "Yes, on the average." "You don't blame them for our rundown condition?" "Not in the least. I blame my aid work." The physician shook his head, le smiled in a vexed way. Then e took a leech out of a glass jar. "Let me show you something," e said. "Bare your arm." The cigarette smoker bared' is pale arm, and the other laid he lean, black leech upon it. 'he leech fell to work busily. Its ody began to swell. Then all t a sudden a kind of shudder onvulsed it, and it fell to the oor dead. "That's what your blood did to hat leech," said the physician, le took up the little corpse beween his finger and thumb. 'Look at it," lie said. "Quite ead, you see. You poisoned it." "1 guess it wasn't a healthy ?ech in the first place," said the igarette smoker sullenly. "Wasn't healthy, eh? Well, k'e'll try again." And the physician clapped two seches on the young man's thin rm. "If they both die," said the atient, "I'll swear off or, at east, I'll cut down my daily llowance from thirty to ten." Even as he spoke the smaller eech shivered and dropped on lis knee dead, and in a moment he larger one fell beside it. "This is ghastly," said the oung man. "I am worse than he pestilence to these leeches." "It is the empyreumatic oil in our blood," said the medical nan. "All cigarette smokers lave it." "Doctor," said the young man, egarding the three dead leeches houghtfully, "I half believe i ou're right." ** ' I .
