For every cry of stagnation that ascends up from the republican concentration camps, there is the shriek of a hundred whistles that direct attention to as many smoking funnels. Republicans cry out from the house tops that a panic is on. Above the tumult comes the monotonous but Insistent crunching of busy machinery. They tell you that the country is broke, and for answer the listening business man points ccynically to his limousines and the farmer blinks rt his bursting grainaries. They ding into your ears the tragedy of bankruptcy, but the roar and grind of machinery send up a tumultous disclaimer and you wonder what the Sam Hill they are trying to put over.

You can’t make a sane man believe lie is something which he is dead sure he is not. — Greensbury Times. « Are you boosting for the Cleveland to St. Louis road to come through this citv and county?

It is a modern means of travel and it cost three quarters ot a million dollars. It is the agency through which a good many thousand dollars are paid out in this community each year and its money that will not be spent here it the roaa is junked.

company employs from thirty to forty people, all of whom live here and spend their'money in this community. The loss ot such an industry would be a real loss and it is hoped that plans now under way to continue the operation of the road with headquar ters in this city will tnateralize. Huntington will build a new Y. M. C. A. building and the Erie railroad will assist them. At the banquet last evening the manager of that great system was one of the speakers. At the same meeting a resolution was adopted that the question of estabishing branches in each county in the state be taken up was adopted. Everywhere these associations are popular and beneficial.

Wherefore it may be saij that this is the only typewriter that ever had the distinct! >n of having hesitated with a President, it might lie added that this couple is getting ready to lead congress a merry dance this winter while the orchestra plays “O You Preparedness.” The low, rakish form of this ancient, rusty friend of the President's reposes in his library.
