Depot St. WASHINGTON LETTER. The Record til Roosevelt Some tliiiijs The Administration Has Done The Great World's Pair an Educator. Convsjnileiu'e to The Courier. Washington, I). C, Aug. 15. It is the consensus ot opinion anion tli! leaders of the Democratic party iiere tnut the paramount issue in this campaign is t he personality and record of Theodore Itoosevclt. if is "it." He is the "whole cheese." He dominates the Republican party and bestrides it like a colossus. Let us see if the record he has made will bear out the assertion. .More absolutely than any of hi? predecessors in office ever did, he procured his own nomination. He dictated the platform, tic edited the nominating speeches. He ap pointed the campaign manager. He moved his cabinet oilicers like paw us to meet the exigencies ot Ins game of politics. Hy nn act of executive usurpation he added many thousands of pensioners to a roll already con tinuing a million names, in order to make votes for himself the tirst open use ever iiiado of the national treasury us a party campaign chest. He has glorilied war aud threaten ed the future peace of the country by proposing a bullying over-lornt-1 ship of the other countries in this hemisphere mid offering to constitute the United States the constable ml collector for Europe in the rotten and irresponsible states of Central ami couth America. He has by his recommendations to LOiigresS iintl his sit'imture to Hi extravagancies, increase! the nation ul expenditures during his term to more than $2,500,000,000 un execs of $211,000,000 over the txpendi tureS during President McKinley's term (which include the ev'u uses of the war with Spain, land exceeding the cost of President, Cleveland's second term bv $rSO,000.(HlO. He and the Congress of his party have converted a surplus of $S00,- 000,000 in 11)00 into a delicit of more than $40,000,000 for thu liscal year just closed. I his extravagance is encouraged, mil in fact made inevitable bv the high tariff and tin? policies of wai- nntl imperialism of which he is the most strenuous champion. The iter the revenue from customs the greater the temptation for lavish xpenditures. 1 tic more colonies and dependencies we have the great er the need of nioio war ships, more fartilications, more coaling stations, more soldiers. Every high' protec tionist is a jingo, and every jingo a high protectionist. These cardinal tVatures of the Kemiblicaii i-oii... are interrelated am! interdependent. i'hev stand to each other in the re- atiou of cause and effect. In view of this surpassing record of extravagance, it is perhaps not strange, but will be regarded by the taxpayers us sigmlieant, mat tne woida" "economy," "retreiuhment," and "reform," once the rule of the nation and the shibboleth of states men, do not once appear in his en tire speech cf ucceptarce not once! Ho says in Ins speecli oi accepi- iincc that "prosperity has come at home." Are there not many thous ands of workingmen w ho have great reason to feel that prosperity is de parting? Does the army of striking cotton operatives, whose wages have been reduced 224 per cent, since 11100, lind that "wages are higher than ever before?" Do the tens of thousands of employees dismissed by our great railway systems share his roseate views: Are mo participants in or the victims of tho strike against the exactions of the beef trust throwing up their hats over the full dinner pail.-'; Desertine: his early convictions in favor of a free trade, lie cultivates the monopolistic campaign contribu tors ot ins party ny "suiuunig put. for a tariff higher in its average ituty than the highest schedules of the war time a tariff which the Repub licans of Iowa have declined to I belter to nioi'.opi- v, wlneu tne Republicans of Wisconsin demand Shall be revised in the interest of consumers, and which tens of thous ands of Republicans in Massachu setts and elsewhere insist shall be modi lied by a reciprocity treaty with Canada. He bona! that his policy la "to do fair and equal justice to all men miviiiL' no heed to whether a man is rich or poor." Can it be maintained that a tariff law which enables favored manufacturers, in return for big contributions, to levy tribute ou the whole body of the people i3 an example of "fair ami '.".ual justice.' Who represents : :iti monopoly and the niihts of Inu.r in his cabinet. Is it Secretary of the Treasury Shaw the banker who preuchitf that high prices are a blessingr or Attorney General Moouv, who l;.:s not mtcu liiiflrer to enforce the anti-trul laws! or Secretary of the Navy Mortoi lately a vice-president of thu Santa Ee lvailroa.!, an ally of the Reef Trust? or Secretary of Commerce and Labor Metcalf, a political repre sentative of the Southern 1 ucitio Railroad? or Postmaster - General Payne, long the legislative and lob by ugeMt of railroads and ul her -corporations? Do these acts of his give, very strong backing to his words assert ing ciiual regard for all classts? He says of the "groat organizations known as trusts," that "we do not have to explain why the laws against them were not enforced, but to point, out that ther actually have been enforced." This will be news indeed to the victims of the unpunished and unhampered tjoeftrust and the other! i "conspiracies in restraint of trade i w1icu continue to stifle competition and to rob consumers in deliance of law. These are only a few of the thincs in Roosevelt's record which, in the opinion of inaiiv, will foim the lead in" issue in the campaign. 1 will pursue it further next week. Hon. Sanies A. Tawney, of Min nesota, chairman of the House Committee on Industrial Arts and Expositions, is an enthusiast on the World's Fair Riggs House the other duy coneeming the Fair he said: "The Exposition was authorized for tho purpeso of educating our people in the progress and advance ment of the world iu all of its var ious industries, commerce, science. ami educational brunches.

ARE V0U GOING TO FARM? li So, Prepare for the Work It is Now a Profitable and Attractive Business Yoiuie man. are you going to farm? If bo, prepare yourself to be a first class farmer. If you are going to be a lawyer, doctor, or preacher, go to some law, medical, or theological school aud eiiup yourself for your special line ot work. It you are going to rje a farmer, go to some agricultural col lege and prepare yourself to farm in the most , profitable and scientific fashion. There's no doubt in the world about the value of such training. If one is to grow crops with the greutest degree of profit, he must know the best ways of tilling to conserve mois ture and fertility; Be must know how to apply fertilizer without waste; he must know how to rotate crops and drain his soil in order to guard against the loss of his capita! and all this is impossible without scien tific training. If he is to raisestock with real success, he must know the properties and elements of different feeding stuff; must know how to combine tnese in oruer to ieeu wun otit waste; ho must know the breeds and types of stock which kinds of cattle can be profitably used m the lairy and which kinds cannot, anil what feeding crops coulain the prop erties needed for his purpose; and all this is impossible without scie:v tilic training. Now if a young man feels that he has a special and distinct call to mine certain occupation or profession other than fanning, we would not advise him to ignore his natural in lination. If a young man, nowever, .us only to chooso between city life ind country life, between managing i farm m the country unit worKin for a boss in the city, he ought not to be long in deciding. Ihe same kill mid enterprise which ho would apply in the city tratle will bnn just as good results ou the farm. Jen yeais ago the outlook for the young farmer was not very Diignr, but. that was only a temporary UarH- hees. Aow farm lite is more attrac tive than ever before. Rural mail delivery, better roads, better schools, tiral telephones etc., are bringing to the country the town's advantages ithotit its disadvantages, unes net yearly income w ill be as large on the farm as in town and the man in the country will be au iiilinife gainer in freedom, serenity, health and renglli. .Nobody is likely to get more out of life than the young man who now resolves to be a farmer and to lit himself to farm in the best o preach or to practice law or niedi- (t'r .iirriniiltnral and mechanical colleges in North Carolina and ad joining States are now better equip ped than ever before to give agricul tural instruction oi tne ingne ."v to young men who enter these msu tnHmiA.

The continual drought in the middle west was broken yesterday in many places, but the corn crop is per manently cut off. If we only make ten million bales of cotton in the south this year we will get twice as much money for ten million bales than we could get for fifteen million bales.

What Causes Old Ace and How One Writer Says it May by Prevented To drink the waters of the foun tain of youth is still, in the opinion of some, within the range of possi bihl v. A recent writer observes that man began in a gelatinous condition ii id ends in an osseous or bonv one. He is soft in infancy; lie is hard in old age. Aging is u process of ossi- lication. After middle life lias pass ed a more marked development of osslic character takes place. The arteries become thickened with cal careous matter, and there is inter ference with circulation, upon which nutrition depends. The whole change from youth to old age is one of steady accumulation of calcareous deposits in the system. Entire block ade of the functions of the body is a mere matter of time, and the refuse mutter deposited by the blood through the system stops the delicate machinery we call Life. The blood contains compounds of lime, mag nesia and iron. In the blood itself are I hone earthly salts. In early life they are thrown oil'; in age they are not. Almost everything we eat con tain these elements for destroying life.
