Colonel Roosevelt will not. join the republican party but will be the progressive nominee for president in 1910 if he lives. A company that sold nearly twentyfive hundred head of horses and did a business that totalled three quarters of a million in six months is deserving of all the boosting we can give them, and if they want substantial boosting they should have it right off the bat. Progressives of the eighth district will meet at Union City on Tuesday August 4th for the purpose of nominating a candidate for congress. It will be an open air convention and picnic on the Old Settlers grounds. Jane Adams of Chicago, Senator Beveridge, Mr. Colby of New York and others are on the program. Adams county will have fourteen delegates. The rains this week have been of value to the crops almost impossible to estimate in hard, cold dollars. It has been a general rain over this section and was badly needed. It will make the corn, the sugar beets, the melons and small fruits and vegetables and aid other crops, for all of which the farmer and the business man are sincerely thankful. General Huerta has resigned as president of Mexico and with General | Blanquet is on his way out of this-

country. Francisco Carbajal has taken the oath as president and peace seems the nearest in many months. You have to give it to Huerta. He has an iron nerve. Yesterday he ate and drank at public places, was shaved at a down town barber shop in Mexico City and spent much time about the streets Resigning he blamed the United States and said he believed he could best serve his country quitting. The world thinks the same on that question. , If the voters of Adams county wish to have a September registration day they will have to get busy soon. The petition asking tor this must be signed by three hundred voters of the county and filed with the board of commissioners at the August meeting. The democratic state central committee advise that this early registration day lie held that every voter may be given an opportunity to protect his right of suffrage. If the entire regts tration is postponed until October it is practically certain that many legal voters will not be registered for it is an impossible task at one session Think it over voters of every party. The New York World says: "If it be said that the secretary of the treasury’s view of business conditions is optimistic, it will have to be admitted that he has reasons for his confidence. “Two great problems, long sources of disquiet, the tariff and banking and currency, have been wisely settled.

Our foreign commerce is active and healthy and will be greatly augmented by the abundant crops now in sight. The revenues of the nation show a surplus, and there is every indication that with fair taxation and the wider opportunity afforded by just laws, reinforced by the bounty of the fields, great pros-
