He was told so today by Mr. Root and others of the committee and in reply he thanked them very kindly for the honor, stating that he held it as an approval of his administration and an expression of confidence that in a second four years he would serve the country well. If he really believes what ho ' said, he will be a mightily disappoint ed man after November sth. If Roosevelt should die tomorrow. | what would become of the Bull Moose I party? It doesn’t take much of a po ! litical see-er to answer. It would die. 1 too. Then those who are following this new movement are not doing so because of the principles. They are toliowing a man. Such a foundation I is bound to weaken. It s easy for orators like Beveridge, Landis and the 1 others to thrill out catchy phrases, but a political party that lives must be founded on something real. George W. Brewster, republican nominee in Adams county for sheriff in the last election, was present a* I the progressive meeting Tuesday 1 night in the court house and declares tt a farce. "It looked to me," he said, I "that a lot of sore heads were at the ' meeting to just get even with Taft re ;

publican? I got disgusted and lei t , before the meeting was over. I. for 1 one, am a republican. 1 figure that 11 must be that or something else. No one,can be against Taft for president and call himself a republican."—Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. The speech of Freddie Landis, temporary chairman of the progressises in their Indianapolis convention today, was filled with bitter abuse against the old guard of the republican party. His remarks were thought out that they might stir up enthusiasm and the wilder the statement, the better his follow ers seemed to like it In his closing he said, speaking of Roosevelt: "He has made only enough mistakes to vary the monotony of his marvelous achievements and he is so great that these who like him least, seek to prolong for four years more the greatest mistake he ever made" (meoning Taft). If the republican party is not cut square in two, such speeches will certainly cause it to be. Just how the "old guard couid suppot t the progressives. if they wanted to, is more than most people can figure. NOTICE.

AUGUST BREEZES) Prof. Irl Hicks Predictsl i High Temperature for Present Month. ALSO JACK FROST To Pay Us a Visit the Latter Part—Storms Will be General Throughout.

i C A regular storm pt.iod is central ou I the Ist. covering July 30th to August I 4. By the 2nd the barometer will fail I I to marked storm conditions in western - and central portions, the temperature will rise to great warmth, and storms of lightning, thunder, wind and rain . will break into many violent gusts and gales in many localities, as the general storm area passes eastwardly i across the country. Local cloudI bursts will most occur here and there in central and eastern states but there j will be great shortage in widely dis- : tributed rains. A reactionary stortn period has its I centra! days on 7th, Bth and 9th. At ■ this time the thermometer will again rise to very high temperatures, th° barometer will fall, and black, threatening storm clouds with probability of violence, will pass from west to east over the country. Great bluster ■ and threatening thunder may be I looked for, but rains will probably not prove as copious and general as ■ needed. Another break in the temi perature will give temporary respite ■ from summer heat about the 9th, 10th, , and 11th. i The moon is new and in periege on • the 12th and on the celestial equator i on the 15th. The center of the Venus period Is on ilie 13th, coincident with l the center of the Vulcan period. The; . autumnal equinox of the earth is also I present at this time. Look for a mark-I - ed fall in the barometer in the weste.n . parts by the 12th, and during the 13th, | . 14th, 15th and 16th, violent storms ol'j ■ rain, wind and thunder, with destriie- j I tive hail northward, will pass east-' I wardly across the country. i West India storms, hurricanes and , tidal waves very probably in the gulf! I and south coast regions. An unseas- ■ | onable change to cooler, with frosts, | possibly, ,in the north, will come with ' 1 the rising barometer behind these. , storms. A seismic period—one that i will be heard from —involves the 9tli : i to 15th, central on the 12th. t A reactionary storm period has its - central days on the 18th, 19th and; 1 20th. Another change to cooler will ■ - follow during the 20th to 23rd. . j > A regular storm period covers the I . 23rd to 27th, central on the 24th. i Moon in apogee on the 25th and full. on the 27th. The center of a Mercury, period is on the 25th. Very low ba-| ■ rometer will warn danger at this per-’ ' iod, with best indications for genera! 1 rains. Another seismic period in-

volves the 24th to 30th, centering on the 27th. The genral disturbances at this ; time promts to be aggravated and prolonged into the reactionary storm period, central on the 29th, 30th and 31st. The moon passes over the celestial] equator on the 29th, .near its full. The I autumnal equinox of the earth will also bear heavily on this period, the Jupiter, the Venus and the Mercury! periods aiding their forces to the strong combination. August promises to go out with storm, and threatening weather generally, passing eastwardly over the country. Change to much cooler, and possibly frost northward will attend high barometer at close of the month. A seismic period. 24th to 30th, central on the 27th. o ABOUT THE SICK. — i Elias Crist, who resides on Lille street in the south part of the city, 1 was suddenly stricken Wednesday night with a severe attack of hiei coughs.
