Republican National (Ticket.

For President of the United States, WILLIAM II. TAFT. of Ohio.

For Vice President of U. S., JAMES S. SHERMAN. of New York.

Let us test out new ideas carefully. The old ways have been so good that the United States has surpassed all other countries. There is no danger of the people of the United States standing still. They will go forward, but let them not advance in a frenzy.

Nothing can be accomplished by denunciation of fellow Republicans with whom one can not agree. Heretofore the strength of the Republican party has been in its unity of purpose, and its harmony. Let moderation and justice mark the conduct of all Republicans in this critical period of our party's history.

The fact that one is tolerant of the opinions of others does not in any way indicate that he is weak in faith in his own ideas and position. When the Democratic party has failed in national administration as it is sure to do. if successful in November, the people of the country will look for some party to lead them out of their business distress. That party should be the Republican party, but if it is divided and split, it will be powerless and impotent. In the face of imminent defeat, let us at least be harmonious and tolerant..

It is not out of place at this time when all parties and persons are claiming to be progressive to suggest that there might be such a thing as being too progressive. Let no one be so charmed by the sound of that popular word that they lose all. sense of propriety. Lincoln could have been too progressive in 1860. Had he at that time, while making his campaign against the great evil of human slavery, have declared himself so progressive that he would, if elected, emancipate the slaves, he would never have been president of the United States. Had he even given utterance to such progressive ideas when he» was inaugurated president of the United States, he would have produced a revolution. It is wisdom to progress slowly, especially when it is proposed to go into new untried fields. Far better stand by the well known principles which have been proven, through years of experience, to be sound.

It is not an easy matter to create and start a new political party. Of course, a local political organization with one idea is often instituted but they are seldom of much national importance. To start a political party which will endure and become a great National influence, there must be great principles involved which do not find supporters and champions in existing organizations. It must be a movement backed by the spontaneous support of unselfish leaders. Then it takes money in this day and age to carry on political organizations. It is said that the campaign of Theodore Roosevelt for the Republican nomination cost his supporters more than a million dollars. He is reported to have estimated that it would take $6,000,000 to make his third party campaign. The expenses of his third party convention at Chicago, August 5th, it is said, will amount to $25,000. Someone has to pay these expenses. So the financial side of organizing an effective third party is a big thing.

.It is not an easy thing for a man to break away from his political party. When an intelligent, levelheaded citizen makes up his mind to abandon his party, no one need think that he does it without a struggle. Next to a man's home and his church is his political party and to break away from any one of them affects his subsequent life more than the unthinking people can appreciate. It is no easy maV ter to do either of them. We, therefore are reluctant to quarrel with a man who takes so serious a step, -V though we can not understand how he can persuade himself to do so. 1^should be an easy matter to cross i-'j over from a bad candidate to a good

conditions on which he acts, but it is entirely different when it comes to giving up the principles for which a person has contended for years, and to break away from the party associations of his whole life.

Things for Patrons to Remember. Every well regulated business must have rules. If such rules are worth adopting, they must be enforced. Such rules are made necessary by conditions connected with the business. The enforcement of them is not personal against any one when they are invoked. They are general and must apply to all persons who violate them. All carefully conducted businesses are obliged to have them, and the management always regrets the necessity of enforcement. Rules of business, however, must be no respecter of persons. They must be enforced impartially, or the management will get into serious trouble from which he cannot escape with credit. If a business had only one customer, or if every customer was honest and prompt pay, there would be little cause for rules, but such is far from the case. The smaller the amount of each transaction, the greater the embarrassment of the business management. If a management had only a few customers and the amount of each customer was large, it is easy to see that the management of the business would be very simple, but when the amount of settlements are six cents, $1.00 and $2.00, and the customers are many hundreds, scattered all over the country,' many of them not seen more than once a year, and some not seen in many years, it is a problem of no little perplexity to adopt and enforce rules which will make the business a success. While the individual amounts are small the aggregate is so great often as to embarrass the management in a financial way. In no business doeS|,,7Uii^

this apply so strictly as in the newspaper business. Our accounts against patrons are so small to each subscriber that he^does not give it nearly so much thought as he

would if it were ten times as large. If, however, he would think of the great number of persons who owe these small accounts, he would readily see the importance of the amount in the aggregate.
