A Bunch of Self Conceit
“My hats in the ring.”
That’s enough said to bring
out clearly the true character
of the man and make his mo-
tive l»e known to thousands of
American people.
There was one time in Ameri-
can history when Theodore
Roosevelt was hailed as one of
the greatest characters the Na-
tion lias ever produced. Not
only was this confined to Amer-
ica, hut, go where he might,
there was a glad welcome al-
ways exteuded and when he
attempted to speak the people
would take notice of what he
was saying. It was at such a
lime as that he could yield the
greatest influence for the Unit-
ed States over other countries,
and make them respect the
rights of this great country.
But few other men have ever
become so well known and re-
spected by-other nations as this
man was*, but it seems that for
a mere * pot of political poli-
tics” be will sell his birthright
mit that it is from a pni*e selfish
motive that he is entering'. the
race, or else he mnst confess
that, in his own opinion, there
is no one else as great as he and
that the United States will be a
great loser without his services.
In either case the motive is suf-
ficient to make every Ameri-
can child point a finger of scorn
at him and disrespect his name
as they see it in our history.
Pretty Swift
This is said to be a progres-
sive age. Yes, it is so bloom-
ing progressive that parents
are no logger permitted by
their children to give advice,
and the good old Solomon
treatment, such as we old tim-
ers used to receive with due
regularity, is no longer in
vogue. Boys are their own
bosses these days at twelve
years of age, and can instruct
the “Old Man” in the art of
cussiug, puffing cigarette,
smoke through the nostrils,
and otherwise acting the
“Man”. There is one pecu
liarity about this youthful boss,
though, which we can not ex-
actly understand. Not one of
these braiuless advice givers,
who strut up and down the
public streets with their trous-
ers rolled two-thirds of the way
up to the lower end of their
vests, and who have the latest
habit of hanging their hats on
the top side of their'left ear,
are capable of making so much
as one meal per month. The
at whatsoever he c^n get for it. old man, who is lelegatad
In the recent statement that he
has made—proclaiming h e
would be a candidate for presi-
dent—he has broken an un-
written law that is likely going
to,cost him the respect of most
American people. And this
was done for the simple reason,
he claims, that seven little poli-
tical Igaders wrote him letters
uskiug him to become a candi-
date again.
Roosevelt would try to
smoothe over the path of thorns
that he is now treading ufton
and make it appear that he has
announced for the presidency
because his “friends would not
let him alone,” but there is no
foundation for such state-
ments, and especially for a man
that is supposed to possess
enough intelligence to run the
United States government. In
entering the race he has said
by his actions that “the Ameri-
can people can not do without
him” and that the Republican
patty has no other man that is
capable of being president of
the United States with the ex-
leptiou of himself. 'Not only
as he doue this, but he has
’•oken an old established rule,
uuwritten law, that will pot
nearly so easily forgotten as
might imagine,
v’hen it comes to the real
aetera and personality of

and night with unfailing re-
gularity. We don’t kpow, but
we think the best cure for this
latter day failing which has
come over some of onr boys
would be to let them be an all-
round mans and earn their own
living, instead of being mere

vacuum kind, and spongers
upon the parents whonf they
do not so much as respect.
the next few hundred years.
Not since the time of Cleve-
land’s first election have the
waters of the Republican party
been so muddy as they are
now. Many discouraging things
have come to them, but
when the “Great Teddy” got
iu the mill pond things began
to pick up. It is very likely
that Taft will be nominated at
the Republican convention, but
in case he is not the democrats
have got easy sailing for the
man they will have in the field.
It is true that there are seven
Republican governors that are
going to cast their votes for
Roosevelt, but when it comes
to those governors’ states sup-
porting him we doubt it very
much. As we see the situation
now there is but one way the
Republican party wifi accom-
plish anything, and thaf is by
getting another man in the
field. If Roosevelt is nominat-
ed it will mean that thousand
Republicans will stay away
from the ballot box at the gen-
eral election and thereby give
the Democrats a decided ad-
vantage. Let them keep it up.
The more they muddy the
waters the better it will be for
Democrats and the south.
It is real interesting to note
the opinions of different ex-
changes in regard to the pres-
idential outlook. Some say
that Teddy will be hard to beat,
while others say he will not get
even the “leavings”. Some
are of the opinion that Wood-
row Wilson would loom up in
the president’s chffir about like
a donkey in a thunder storm,
while others claim he is the
hope of the Democratic party
and will be a great reformer if
elected. After all there is no
use for any one to shed tears
over the situation for the pres-
ident will not have all the
power of the United States
government in his hands, no
matter who is elected. A little
more enlightenment iu regard
to our senators and representa-
tives would be in order.

■It all depends upon the wayl
yon look at greatness. If yool
consider the men that have]
made it possible to Texas to|
have great statesmen yon must
say that the greatest men of]
Texas are the farmers. Of
course if you plaee a knowledge

solutely impossible for any
town or community to advandi
socially or commercially as it
should where a large per cent
of its citizens are dissatisfied.
Teddy is urtghtv careful these
days to see his hat does not get
away front him, aud to see
further that when the wind
tosses it around it lands toward
the presidential nomination
ring. Of course the warlike
prospective candidate isn’t de-
sirous of obtaining the nomina-
tion because of, any personal
ambition in the matter, but
wholly because the nation needs
him to specially guide and
guard its affairs. We all, de-
mocrats and republicans, ad-
mire the absence of self in the
matter all the way through.
Patriotism is a great thing, and
always worthy of praise and
encouragement, especially
when a man is willing to sacri-
fice the pleasures of private life
iu-order that his fellow crea-
tures might be kept from erring
when he takes the reins of
government.
Blood Was Wrong
All women, who suffer from the aches and pains, due
to female ailments, are urged to try Cardui, the reliable,
scientific, tonic remedy, for women. Cardui acts promptly,
yet gently, and without bad effects, on the womanly system,
relieving pain, building up strength, regulating the system,
and toning up the nerves. During the past half century,
thousands of ladies have written to tell of the quick curative
results they obtained, from the use of this well-known medicine.
Cardui
The
WomansTonic
Mrs. Jane Callehan suffered from womanly trouble for
nearly ten years. In a letter from Whiteville, N. C., she
says: “ 1 was not able to do my own housework. My
stomach was weak, and my blood was wrong. I had back-
ache, and was very weak. 1 tried several doctors, but they
did me no good. I used Cardui for 3 or 4 months, and now
1 am in the best health I have ever been. I can never praise
., Cardui enough.” It is the best tonic, for women.
■ Whether seriously sick, or simply weak, try Cardui.

That character-crushing bip
ed, with tongue hung in the
middle, whose weapon is the
“I told-you-so” story, is the
worst enemy of society and the
lives of pure, sweet girls, which
is roaming loose over the world
today. Every city and every
village has them, and in com-
parsion the loathsome viper is
less harmful by a hundred per
cent. With fihe apparel and
insinuating manner they creep
into the homes of the best and
most highly respected, aud
soon after their advent upon
the scene sorrow aud shame
and broken hearts follow.
You can see them every day
—men that set on the street
cornera and “cuss” the tariff
question, the recall, referen-
dum, etc., and if you were to
ask them to explain the work-
ings of either of these principles
they would' be as blank as
One does not have to be
wasteful with his money to be
a spendthrift. Time was given
to all to be improved, aud when
it is absolutely thrown away in
sitting around the streets, whit-
tling on goods boxes, besmear-
ing the sidewalks with tobacco
juice, making them unfit for a
lady to pass over, and other-
wise “killing” the hours until
nightfall aud sleep shall end
au unprofitable day, it is no
wonder that those engaged be-
come disgruntled and- think the
whole thing one grand, success-
ful mistake. The busy man or
woman does not have time to
constantly find fault with
things around them, because
they have affairs of their own
which demand their undivided
attention.
