R. SAUNDERS, Secretary.
Out in Oregon they think the presi
dent’s recent stunning message the
best yet. The Portland Oregonian is
quoted as saying: "Mr. Roosevelt’s
special message to congress is one of
the most powerful pieces of political
eloquence in the English language.
It contains passages which will be
read with passionate approval by
mature men and recited with flaming
hearts by ambitious youth long after
the president has ceased from his
fight with the powers that prey and
others have taken up the weapons for
liberty and justice which he wields
so potently and manfully. It breaches
the spirit throughout of clear precept
ion and undaunted courage. He dis
cerns with unerring accuracy the
meaning and extent of the struggle
which is on in this country between
the forces of predatory wrong and the
forces of common right, and he strides
into the fray without flinching. If
Mr. Roosevelt has ever dreamed of
compromise with those insidious ene
mies of the republic who endeavor to
make their success an excuse for their
crimes against morality and law, he
has thrust that dream from his
thoughts. If he ever dreaded the
consequences to trade which might
flow from the inflexible pursuit of jus
tice and the unmasking of gilded
wickedness he dreads them no longer.”
With the characteristic modesty of
a populist politician, the late fusion
candidate for county treasurer, in a
signed article in the last issue of the
local fusion organs, pinned a few
boquets to his coat collar and bestowed
upon himself tbe credit for the banks
of the county resuming the old rate of
interest for county money. If Mr.
Robertson has a string on the bankers
he should have “palled” it two years
ago, when the county board was com
pelled to accept the minimum legal
bid of the bank combine largely be
cause of the Inactivity of a side-step
ping populist county attorney.
A Michigan fruit packing concern
has run up against the national pure
food law. They undertook to contin
ue the practice of canning Arkansas
fruit and labeling the cans with Mich
igan labels. Government authorities
confiscated a large shipment en route
from Arkansas to Michigan and will
sell the same, the proceeds to be put
in the public treasury.
“I do not for a moment believe that
the actions of the administration have
brought on business distress; so far
as this is due to local and not world
wide causes, and to the actions of any
particular individuals, it is due to the
speculative folly and llagrant dishon
esty of a few men of great wealth,who
seek to shield themselves from the
effects of their own wrongdoing by
ascribing its results,to the actions of i
those who have sought to put a stop
to the wrongdoing. But if it were
true that to cut out rottenness from
the body politic meant a momentary
check to an unhealthy seeming pros
perity, I should not for one moment
hesitate to put the knife to the cor
ruption.”—From Roosevelt’s special
message to congress.
There is much sober sense in these
few words from Governor Hughes’
New York speech in which he defined
his views on national issues: ‘T am
not in favor of punishment in the
shape of fines upon corporations, ex
cept for minor offenses. The burden
of fines imposed upon such corpor
ations is either transferred to the
public or is borne by stockholders, the
innocent as well as the guilty.” Every
time a corporation has to pay a fine
the market of their product is manip
ulated so that the public pays the fine
in the end. A jail sentence is the best
remedy for outlawry.
The E'rontier is glad to note our es
teemed fellow citizen, O. O. Snyder,
is a candidate to represent the Sixth
district at the republican national
convention. The Frontier believes
every republican in the county can
endorse his candidacy. He is especi
ally well qualified to represent us in
a notable gathering like the national
convention and long years of consis
tent party service abundantly war
rants republicans of this district in
conferring on him the honor.
The Syracuse, N. Y., university
chancellor, who takes such delight in
criticising Mr. Roosevelt’s messages,
might arrange to settle his disputes
with the president at the polls. Roose
velt and Day as opposing presidential
candidates would give the ‘ hired
man” of Syracuse an opportunity to
see that public sentiment was about
ten to one with Roosevelt after the
votes were counted.
The appointment of D. U. Yantzi
as deputy assessor for Rock Falls
township is a good selection on the
part of Assessor Skidmore. Mr.
Yantzi has been passing through some
hard experiences recently that have
disabled him from resuming work
on the farm in the spring, while he
can easily attend to the assessing of
the township.
Every republican in the county who
wants to express himself for president
will have a chance to do so by attend
ing the precinct caucuses on E'ebruary
21. The Frontier would like to see a
good attendances at the caucuses and
a full vote on presidental - candidates
A constitutional amendment is be
fore the Maryland legislature for the
disfranchisement of negros. The
amendment was drawn by a commit
tee of democratic lawyers and its
adoption is probable.
The congressman from this district
should note the fact that the republi _
cans of this county are for Hammond
for the collectorship.
The surplus turned over by the
county officials for 1907 seems to be
hurting the fusionists.

All the Seats In That Particular
Church Were Free.
At n certain church an aged usher,
to save the exertion of continually
marching up and down the aisle to con
duct persons to their seats, used to take
a stand in the center of the church and
when any incomers appeared beckon
to them and then conduct them to a
seat.
The urchins of the neighborhood,
knowing his peculiarity, used to pop
their heads inside the church door nnd
mimic his action by beckoning to him.
Many times he tried to catch one and
one Sunday morning nearly did so.
But the boy rushed away from the
church and ran into the arms of a po
liceman.
“What have you been up to?” de
manded the policeman.
Thought the boy, “I’m caught,” but
he said, “Oh, sir, there’s a disturbance
at that church, and they have sent me
to fetch a policeman.”
“Very good,” said the officer. “I'll
step in and see about it.”
So he opened the door at the west
end of the church and, taking off his
helmet, entered.
The moment the aged usher saw him
he beckoned to him and motioned him
to a seat next an old gentleman.
Immediately he was seated he touch
ed the old gentleman and said, “Come
quiet.”
The old gentleman replied, “What do
you mean?”
Officer—You know vhat I mean, and
I don’t want no chat. Come quiet or 1
shall have to take yer by force.
Old Gentleman—I really don’t under
stand you.
Officer—Look here! We don’t want
no more disturbance! You have been
kicking up quite enough, and I’m going
to have you out quick.
By this time the congregation were
looking at the pair and wondering
what was the matter, so the old gentle
man said: "Very well. I have not
made any disturbance, but to save any
I will go with you.”
So together, to the wonderment of
the congregation, they marched up the
aisle.
When they had passed out of the
church the usher followed them, and
the policeman, turning to him, said:
“Now, then, you have to make your
charge,"
“Charge?” said the usher. “There
ain’t any charge. All the seats are
free.”—Detroit News-Tribune.

The New Cook’s Way.
A new cook was in the kitchen, anil

with the way she served dinner. The
salad was especially unappetizing,
with large, coarse green lettuce leaves
Instead of the crisp, white little hearts
the family was accustomed to.
“What did you do to the lettuce?”
mildly inquired the lady of the house
after dinner.
“Sure, I washed it all good,” replied
the new cook.
“But the small white part?” persist
ed the mistress.
“Oh, the core, ye mean. I threw it
away, of course.”—New York Press.
Happy Tears.
A good cry is a solace to many wo

tures and a sopping pocket handker
chief, they feel their time has not been

Question of Nationality.
An Englishman, a Frenchman and a
German sitting together in the smok
ing room of an ocean liner, the conver
sation turned on their nationality, and
one of them asked what each of the
three would choose to be if lie were not
of his own nation. The Frenchman said.
“If I were not a Frenchman, I would
be an Englishman.” The Englishman
said, “If I were not an Englishman, I
would wish to be one.” The German.
“If I were not a German I would wish
not to be a German.”—Carl Peters in

On Yawning.
I have come to the conclusion that if
a man yawns and you don’t want to
yawn, too, the only way to prevent it
is to blow your nose. A man of my
acquaintance boasts that he can set a
whole railway carriage full of people
yawning by merely taking time over it
himself, and I believe he can.—Fry’s
Magazine.
