ERIDAY AUGUST 29 1902.
ROOSEVELT ON CITIZEN-
SHIP. In this speech delivered in Bos-
ion last Monday President Roose-
velt was apparently at his b.3st.
"While many perhaps the majority
of Americans will not agree with
Ins recommendation of greater cen-
.tralization of power in the national
administration yet all must admit
that something is necessaiy to ena-
ble the government to deal with the
the trusts which have so for been
able under existing conditions to
evade all efforts to control them.
In his expressions along this line
however even many eminent re-
publicans differ from Mr. Roosevelt.
But his expressions regarding the
duties of citizenship in the same
speech must be unanimously ap-
plauded. On this subject. Mr.
Roosevelt spoke as follows:
"Mankind goes ahead but slowly
and it goes ahead mostly through
each of us trying to do the best that
is in us and doing it in the most
intelligent and sanest way. AVe
founded our republic on the theory
that the average man as a rule will
do the right thing; that in the long
run the majority are going to decide
for what is sane and wholesome.
If o'n rat hers were mistaken in that
theory if ever the mass of the peo-
ple do what is unwholesome what
is wrong then the republic can not
stand. I care not how good its
laws; I care not in what marvelous
mechanism its constitution may be
embodied. Back of the law back
of the administration back of our
.system of government lies the aver
age manhood of our people. In the
long run Ave are going to go up or
go down according to the average
standard; of our citizenship does or
does not was in growth and grace.
"Now when we come to the ques-
tion of good citizenship the first
requisite is that the man shall do
homely everyday )ium-drum duties
kycII. A man is not a good citizen.
I don't care how lofty his thoughts
are about citizenship in the ab-
stract if in the concrete his actions
-don't bearf them out and it does
not make much difference how high
his aspirations for mankind at large
-sire. If be does not behave well in
his own family those aspirations
are not going to bear very visible
fruit. " He has got to ' be a cood
breadwinner; he has got to take
care of his wife and children; he has
got to be a neighbor whom his
neighbors can trust; he has got to
act squarely in his business rela-
tions. In fact he has got to do
all these everyday ordinary things
or he is not a good citizen.
But he must do more than that.
In this countr' of ours the average
citizen has got to devote a good
'deal of thought and time to the
affairs of the State as a whole or
those affairs are going to go back-
ward. That time must be devotefi
steadily and intelligently. H there
is any one quality which is not ad-
mirable whether in a nation or in
an individual it is hysterics. The
man or woman who makes up f or
feen days' indifference to duty by
cloven days' morbid repentance
about tliat indifference is of very
scant use in the world.
tcNow in the same way it is of
no possible use to decline to go
through all the ordinary duties ofl
citizenship lor a long space of time
and then suddenly get up and feel
angry about something or some
body not clearly denned in. ones
mind and demand reform as if it
were a concrete substance and could
be handed out forthwith."
Why is it that one rarel'. if
everr hears of a rich centennariah?
The greater number of people who
livej to be a hundred or more are
generally in very moderate or poor
circumstances. Often the are in
mates of the poor house. A remark
able instance in point recently
published is that of four persons
all over a hundred years old in
Green County Ohio who- are all
an infirmary. A centenuarian in
a poor house is a common thing
but who ever hears of one in a
palace?
There are only five candidates
for the republican chairmanship
and a pretty contest is expected at
the state convention.

COUIfDN'T REMEMBER HOW
MANY CHILDREN SHE HAD.
London Aug. 23. The troubles
of the old woman who lived in a
shoe are not worth mentioning
alongside of those of AVilliam
Clarke who was arraigned in the
Southwark Police Court the other
day charged with leaving his wife
and children destitute.
Clarke plea.ded that his progeny
was too numerous for him to take
care of. His first wife bore him six-
teen children his second wife twen-
ty. Thevife who was called as a
witness said she thought shc had
only eighteen children but there
were so many she was not sure.
The prisoner said that one at
least of his sons was dead but as
to the rest he couldn't say how
many were living. St. Louis Re-
public. . WELL TO REMEMBER.
Boiled meats intended to be eaten
cold should be left in the water in
which they were boiled until cold.
New tins should be set over the
fire with boiling water in them for
several hours before food is put in
them.
If new tinware is rubbed over
with fresh lard and thoroughly
heated in the oven before it is used
it will not rust afterward.
A few slices of orange added to a
cream-of-tomato.soup just before
serving will improve the flavor.
Dried orange peel allowed to
smoulder on a piece of red-hot iron
or an old shojpl will kill disagree-
able kitchen odors.
If the whites of eggs do not beat
light stir into them a little salt and
set them over or near the ice for a
few minutes; they will froth more
quickly and stiffy.
Thin unbleached muslin is the
best material for a pudding bag.
It should be tied with a piece of
strong white tape. Always scald;
the bag before using.
