Mr Haskel concludes:
"Knowing all these things, tho
president must pardon us for taking;
issue with the occupant of tho high
office we all respect. Let us hope
that in the future we will appreciate
and preserve its dignity and not try

ROOSEVI&LTrAN PROMISE AND
PERFOR&IANCE
In his letter to Conrad Kohrs pro
claiming Mr. Taft the heir to and
Joint partner of "My Policies," Mr
Roosevelt said:
"The true friend of reform, the
true foe of abuses, is the man who
steadily perseveres in righting wrong,
in warring against abuses, but whose
character and training rCre such that
he never promises -what ho can not
perform, that he always a little more
than makes good what he does prom
ise, and that while steadily advanc
ing he never permits himself to be
led into foolish excesses which would
damage the very cause he cham
pions." In his speech at Indianapolis May
30, 1907, Mr. Roosevelt said:
"Whenever evil-doers can they
shall be brought to justice, and no
criminal high or low whom we can
reach under the law will receive im
munity." What high criminals has Mr.
Roosevelt succeeded in reaching?
.How many malefactors of great
wealth are serving time ip federal
prisons? Haven't they all received
immunity under the Roosevelt policy
of government by denunciation?
Never before has the country had
a president so given to promising
what he could not or would not per
form. Neither did, it ever before
have a president more given to "fool
ish excesses" -wliich damage the
cause ho champions.
Mr. Roosevelt, in his letter, pre
sents a very convincing picture of
the kind of a, president that Theo
dore Roosevelt is not. New York

.LIKE iWCKENS
One of Dickens' characters, an old
soldier, who ha& no opinion of his
own in the presence of his wife, was
in the habit bf listening attentively
,to what -was said .to him, and then
quietly turning' toi her with the re
mark, "-My dear, tell him what I
think.f Of course this has nothing
to do with the present campaign.
The big fellow isn't an old soldier,
and no one ever called Teddy an old

MR', ban1 Speech op accep
tance Richmond fTimeS'Dispatch: To be
able (to .stahd snpar'flly on three great
apd $tclusivje pledges for the purifi
cation and extension of popular gov
ernment was to have. In the matter
of speeohes, a signal advantage. This
advantage Mr. Bryan has not merely
eui)'bra(ted, T)ut adprned. In felicity
of language,, vigor, compactness and
picturesqueness,., as well as itf lieen
analysis and effective argument, he
has( giyepv Mr, , Taf t an object lesson
In, what aj campaign, document ought
to boi...' i, : ., i
Savannah News: Mr. Bryan's
speech ,6f acceptance is a strong ope.
U fs,a 'siieech T,.wft,cn will have a
powerful. Influence .'jin the campaign.
It is calculated l& reach the hearts
and1 consciences' of the people, It
doesn't .wander all over the domo-.
cratic platfcrm as tho speech of Mr.
Taft wanders over the republican
platform. It is short and to the
point.
Detroit Free Presst Mr. Bryan's
speech of acceptance presents further
evidence that ho Is playing in this
campaign the best politics of his life.
In form the speech is almost a model
of this variety of campaign produc
tion. New York Times r Mr. Bryan's
speech of acceptance is able, adroit,
rind. cautious. For tho most part it
Is made up of indisputable proposi
tions. St. Louis Post-Dispatch: It must
be admitted that he exhibited in this
initial utterance of his campaign a
hitherto unsuspected power of re-i
straint,, which well becomes him ag
the candidate for the chief executive
office.
Philadelphia Record: Over and
over again, incisively and with mer
ciless force, Mr. Bryan presents tho
evidence that the people are not rul
ing; power is in some unseen and
unconstitutional hands.

HOW SHE ESCAPED
"My darling," said Mr. Spoona
more, as he finished the third help
ing o his wife's plum cake, "the
lightness and flavor of your excellent
cake give a grand and emphatic de
nial tt all the rubbish written in
would-be funny papers about the in
capacity of young wives to cook."
She nestled close to hira.
"Or, perhaps,' he continued, "it
may bo that my own little wifey
pifey Is better than all others'
"Oli, ducky," she whispered, "how
happy you make me."
And then she thought hbw lucky it
was that she had had the sense to
buy that cake at the baker's. Penny

THE TALK OF THE
Cream Separator World
The Improved De Laval
"It can't bo beaten." "It's peaches and cream." "Noth
ing like It." "Ten years ahead of an others." "A triumph
in separator construction." "Perfect In overy feature."
Theso are but a few of tho expressions one hears on every
hand this year, in praise of tho new Improved DB LAVAL
Cream Separator. From tho Atlantic to the Pacific tho Im
proved DE LAVAL has simply swept tho Hold of all separa
tor honors.
Well informed dairymen once they investigate tho now
DE LAVAL will have nothing else at any price or under any
condition. In ono instance 32 Wisconsin dairy farmers were
forced to buy hand separators on account of their branch
creamery closing down and 31 of them bought DE LAVAL
machines, notwithstanding all would-bo competing makes of
separators were hot after tho business. Liko instances can
bo pointed out In almost every section ot tho country.
Tho Improved DE LAVAL represents thirty years of man
ufacturing experience and tho expenditure of many thou
sands of dollars in experimental work. It represents tho
knowledge gained from nearly a million DE LAVAL ma
chines in practical use by dairymen throughout tho world.
It represents tho best ideas and brain work of tho world's
most skilled separator and mechanical engineers. It is tho
product of tho largest and finest equippod separator factory
in existence.
Surely tho 1908 DE LAVAL is ten years ahead of all
others. If you haven't bought yours write today for a DE
LAVAL catalogue and any desired information.
