THOUGHT FOK TO-DAY.
Receive your thoughts as guests
but treat your desires as children.
Under Mr. Roosevelt tho annual
deficit in the Postoffice Department
went up to more than $19,000,000
in a single year, while during the
past year under Mr. Taft the Post
office (Department has practically
been self-sustaining and has eli
minated many of tho evils In admin
istration, one alone of which is the
saving to the people of the United
States of over $100,0O,0,000 former
ly reaped by the swindlers through
the postoffice channels.
Long before November 5, the eyes
of the voters of the country will be
opened to the danger of elevating
Dr. Wilson to the presidency. If
Wilson should be elected there will
also be elected a Democratic Con
gress In both branches and a drastic
Free Trade law will surely follow
and that means idleness or a large
reduction In wages. It means strikes
and turmoil it means stagnation of
business It means ruin to agricul
ture It means a check to our pro
gress and prosperity which has con
tinued so long under Republican
legislation and administration.
WHAT IS HONOR?
Nothing but public opinion and
personal honor binds a presidential
elector to vote for the candidate of
his party. But public opinion and per
eonal honor for hundred years have
had all tho force of constitutional
mandate In selection of a President.
No elector ever betrayed his trust.
No elector ever obtained his ofllce
under falso pretenses. No elector
has cared to submit such moral trea
son to the judgment of history.
Theodore Roosevelt is tho first
man who has ever seriously pro
posed that presidential electors chos
en as Republicans should vote, not
for the man who obtained the Re
publican nomination, but for the
man who was defeated for the Re
publican nomination. But what is
honor among third-term "progres
sives?" New York Herald.
shown to havo been trumped up. by
the Roosovclt managers In order to
give them something on which to
base claims of fraud. In the conven
tion Roosevelt polled every vote he
could get by every method known
to the shrewdest and most unscrupu
lous politicians. Ho had Boss Flinn
of Pennsylvania at Chicago to do
tho "fixing" of the unlnstructed dele
gates, and he had George W. Per
kins, the trust magnate, there to
pay the bills and ask no questions.
Roosevelt expected confidently that
with the millions of dollars behind
him he could get tho votes necessary
to nominate. He boasted that he
would be nominated on the first bal
lot. When he saw that tho dele
gates were Immovable he raged in
fury. "Thou slialt not steal!" roars
tho colonel, but the echo comes from
Chicago. "Thou couldst not steal"
and therefore "Thou didst not got
the nomination." .Kansas City
Journal.
Never before In our political his
tory havo we had a candidate for the
Presidency who put himself above
his party, above all principles, above
all national policies and made his
candidacy a strictly personal one,
with issues as a secondary matter.
Mr. Roosevelt changes his views so
suddenly and so rapidly that one
can hardly keep up with them. He
stands for very little to-day that he
stood for when President of the
United States or that ho stood for
when endorsing Mr. Taft for the
Presidency and endorsing his admin
istration. What he stands for now
when attempting to gain a third
term, and his whole course recently
on public questions, has been simil
ar to his course in regard to his first
pledging himself against a third
term and then repudiating that
pledge and not only deciding to ac
cept the nomination but, when it
was not tendered to him, getting It
by forming a new party and by at
tempting to wreck the party which
gave him such fame as he acquired.

Dlscnso Cured Quick by Zemo.
It Is simply wonderful how Zemo
goes after dandruff. You rub a llttlo
of It In with tips of the fingers. It
gets right down Into the glands, stim
ulates them, stops the Itch, and
makes tho head feel fine. No, It
Isn't sticky! Zemo is a fine, clear,
vanishing liquid. You don't havo to
even wash your hands after using
Zemo. And what a wonder it is for
eczema, rash, pimples and all skin
afflictions. A 25-cent bottle at A. M.
Leine's drug store, Honcsdalc, Is
guaranteed to stop any skin irrita
tion. Zemo Is prepared by E. W. Roso
Medicine Co., St. Louis, Mo., and is
regularly sold by druggists at $1 a
bottle. But to provo what it will do
at trifling expense, Zemo Is now put
up In 25-cent trial bottles.

THOU SHALT NOT STEAL.
"Thou shalt not steal," fulminates
the colonel, with a purpose of giving
a sacred spirit to his campaign for
tho presidency. But he reserves an
other commandment for his immedi
ate following. "Thou shalt have no
other gods before me" is the word
ho sends to the faithful, and em
phasizes that commandment by a
vigorous "punch." Only blind and
prostrato devotion is allowed tho
rank and file. To believe that
Roosevelt can do no wrong, that ho
Is superior to all laws and preced
ents, tnat Is wisdom, righteousness
and potentiality Incarnate is tho
creed to which all who follow him
must subscribe.
But there Is another command
ment which tho colonel never quotes.
"Thou shalt not bear falso witness"
has a direct bearing upon tho third
term candidate's present activities,
Ho declares that tho nomination was
stolen from him and given to Taft
by tho national committee. Thero
was never a tlmo during tho Chi
cago convention when Roosovclt was
within striking distance of tho nomi
nation. If ho had been given every
contested delcgato except those
which his own partisans on tho com
mittee unanimously awarded to Taft
after thoroughly Blftlng tho evidenco
he would still havo heen far short
of enough to nominate him. Prac
tically all of tho "contests" wero
PURE ICE.
People who wouldn't think of
drinking dirty water often use un
clean ice. Havo you ever seen how
ice is handled? Frequently It stands
on the sidewalks where dust and
street dirt blow over it. People
brush against It. Dogs have access
to It. It affords an easy landing
place for every bit of looso filth that
is about.
Therefore, wash your Ice care
fully before you place butter or to
matoes upon It, or use it for ice wa
ter. Best of all drink ice cooled wa
ter instead of ice water. It is better
for you and is more sure to bo
clean.
Hesitate before you drink from
public drinking tanks. Only too
often tho ice here is carelessly wash
ed. Many offices, instead of using
Ice water, place tho ice upon colls of
plpo through which tho water flows.
This cools the water and at the samo
time prevents It from getting dirty.
Ice Is ono of our greatest com
forts In summer. Use It, however, in
such a way that It will do you good
Instead of harm.
