The expected and hoped-for spontane: s response to Colonel Roosevelt's announcement that he would accept the republican '■residential nomination has some how or other failed to spontain. He and a number of the republican papers are whistling to keep up courage, but the fact remains that a large number of the republican organizers are keeping their hands off. while another large number are openly opposed to him and his wild policies.

A man who was for seven years president, is arguing a policy that I would take away from the courts of the land that respect which has for a century made us the greatest nation of the world It is little wonder that men like Henry Cabot Lodge have quit the boom for the coione'.. We believe that Mr. Roosevelt will miss far his ambition for a nomination for the third time ant. ”e confidently believe that any ot tut dozen men mentioned by the democrats could "skin him alive' at the November election. The strenuous Teddy is without a national manay.-r and the woods are being scoured for some one who will take the Job. For some cause or other the boys are ducking and the “wanted" sign is still out. Prior to his Columbus and Boston speeches there were a number of applicants for the Job, but now they each hare a splendid excuse to prevent them serving Prior to these speeches, too, the backers of he whose "hat is in the ring.” claimed that the delegates from every state west of the Mississippi river would be for Theodore. Now it is different. Tuesday the governors of nine states, four of them west of the ; river, notified the Taft organizers that they were for tht president Colonel Roosevelt will probably hare a chance to lead a regiment in Mexico without interfering with his duties at Wash-; ington to any great extent. Over the signatures of District Committeeman W. A. Kunkle and County chairman W. J. Bosse, the cal! is made in today s issue for the congressional convention which will be held at Winchester.

The Indianapolis Star has closed the ladies' voting contest as to presidential nominations Roosevelt leads, with Scanlon a close second. The rapid advance of Scanlon during the past week shows how a boom will grow sometimes and without any particular reason for doing so Sheep are not the only animals who follow a bell.

A talk to have been given by a lady has been post I poned on account of her illness, and this will probably be given at the next meeting o’ the society. The Rebekahs met at the lodge hall Tuesday evening in regular session, at which time they gave the degree to one candidate and enjoyed a lengthy social sessxn. Considerable agitation was given the problem of continued drilling of the team with a view of entering the lists for the championship of the state This will necessitate a trip to Indianapolis during the convening of the grand lodge and many members of the team are in favor of the trial At this time it is ■conceded that this team is the best in the northeastern part of the state and they have given the work in many lodges throughout this section. A banquet was held after the lodge session Tuesday night and upon next Tuesday evening the event will be repeated. The especial attendance of all regular members of the team is especially desired. Miss Frances Dugan, a senior at Vassar, writes friends of a eran' Washington ball, with the real railitar.setting worthy of an event of that kind, which she had the pleasure of attending on the eve of Washington s birth anniversary, at West Point Military Academy, given by the cadets and officers of West Point. The great academy ball room was handsomely decorated with the regimental flags of the revolutionary and civil wars, and al! the cadets and officers were in full dress military uniform, making a splendid spectacle in itself. Miss bugas and her room-mate, who were guests at the ball, were invited to remain over at the fort for the fine riding exhibition gNcn the following day. February 22nd. in the riding hall, which they did, to ’heir great enjoyment.

Miss Mamie Kitson was lead : er of the interesting lessen study and I program, of which a vocal so'o by Cecil Andrews and a piano solo by Irene Eady were special numbers. In the business session, the society was divided into three sections—the red. the white and the blue —each to work separately. As the Queen Esther band is an auxiliary of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary society, red white and blue, the national colors i are theirs, and each of the three sec- > tlons into which the society is divid--1 ed, took one of these colors to distin- ’ guish it.
