A good thjng for candidates in
The Courier contest to do is to cul
tivate self-confidence. There is no
reason for you to be afraid of any
one. Remember that in this eon
test no one has any way of tell
ing what another's reserve force ma
be, and the very person whom you
dread Is probably Just as "much
seared as you are for fear you have
such a pile ofvoteebaek of you tffat
you will-take the lead any time you
get ready to do so. . '

and the tortoise? These two, agreed
to run a race, and naturally all the
bets were laid la favor , of the nim
ble hare. Some even derided the
tortoise and practically told him
that they liked his nerve in putting
himself against the swiftest of creat
ures. But the tortoise Just kept
on muttering to himself his favor
ite motto: "Slow, but sure. Slow
b.ut sure." When they set out it
was but a few minutes before the
hare was out of sight, and the . pa
tient tortoise was laboring lni the
rear. When . Mr. Llghtfoot saw
there was no one in sight he
laughed to himself, and decided he
would stop at the first wayside
house for lunch. This roadhouse
was called Turnip Top Inn, and the
hare ate a very hearty luncheon, an
then took up the course again, but
he did not feel so light now, and
presently with a yawn he lay down
for "forty winks." Waking muoh
refreshed, he loped easily along un
til he came in sight of the goal,
when what was his astonishment to
see the plodding tortoise creeping
at the same steady gait at which he
had set out within a few inches
of the line. A series ofmad' leaps
brought the hare In a trice to the
Judge's stand, -tut the race had al
ready been won by the tortoise.
The Tortoise. . -
The moral is plain. . Keep going!
Never let a day pass without add
ing something to your store. It will
not be giving yourself a fair chance
if you do not make themost of each
moment of time, especially during
"Opportunity Time." A steady pace
is sure to bring you to the front,
and you will have no need to fear
the swiftest opponent if you keep
right on going until you reach the
goal.

ROOSEVELT'S TARIFF RECORD.
(By Savoyard.)
Col. Roosevelt advocates a high
protective tariff In Connecticut, and
in Iowa he insisted on immediate
and pronounced tariff revision. In
Minnesota he told the people that
the nomination of Woodrow Wilson
vy the Baltimore convention "was
arranged by Democratic bosses."
The Colonel has a varied and ver
satile tariff record. As a writer of
books he was in thorough accord
with Robert J. Walker, William
11. Morrison, Grover Cleveland and
John G. Carlisle on the tariff ques
tion, As "an enthusiastic young
Republican, of marked mugwump
characteristics, he was a delegate
f.o the national convention of his
party In -Chicago In 1884, and there
he Introduced a resolution demand
ing an Immediate downward revis
ion of the tariff that was not near
ly so high as the one that existed
the day he became President . and
that maintained every day he was
President.
The last public address made by
William McKinley was a plea for
expanded trade and to gain it he
advocated tariff reduction. It was
the same McKinley who was the
pupll ot -pig iron" Kelley and for
many years the ablest champion of
protection in Congress. . A few
hours pfter McKinley made that
speech in Buffalo, New York, Theo
dore Roosevelt became President of
the. United States and gave the sol
emn and voluntary pledge that he
would carry out the McKinley pol
icies. ..
The new President was sincere
not a doubt of it. And that is not
all b Lad . been a tariti reformer
every day of his entire political life.
Thus inclination and Interest met
in uis cake. Why did he not. fulfil
his promise, redeem his plighted
word' The bosses would not allow
it. That is why we had no taritf re
form during all those ninety months
Theodore Roosevelt was President.
Hanna, Aldrich, Cannon, Payne, DaU
zell, Burrows, Lodge, Hale, Gallin
ger, Frye, Quay, Penrose and the
others stood like a stone wall.while
me sieei xrusi, tne wool Trust, tne
Leather Trust, the Lumber Trust,
the Coal TruBt and the other great
combinations in restraint of trade
and in defiance of law levied trib
ute om the American people.
And in 1904, when he was the
candidate of the party of high tar-
1 f taxes for private gain against
Judge Parker, the candidate of the
party of lowjbftriff taxes for public
purposes.every voracious trust.every
corrupt boss in the land, rallied to
fcjm and his was, the most opulent
campaign fund candidate ever had.
No wonder ho is not through ex
plaining it.
It is notorious that certain sched
ules of the tariff were written by
tho interests they protect. Especial
ly is this true of Wool and Cotton
and Steel and Lumber. - These com
binations furnish so much "fat" and
get in return so much "protection."
For fifty years Senators and mem
bers of Congress have held their
seats, not to represent states, or
districts, but to see to It that cer
tain features of the tariff are not
disturbed. By a combination ot
those naturally antagonistic interest
the shepherds and the weavers
ours Is the only government of the
North Temperate Zone, where Is
located the bulk of the world's civ
ilization that levies tax on wool.
By this comblnaton the tariff tax
ation qb blankets is 74 per cent, on
fie average. One effect of It Is to
encourage such maladies as pneu
monia and grip and croup and tuber.
cuiosis; hut the Wool Trust thrives
on It, and never falls'to supply the
"party of Great Moral Ideas" with
fat In consideration of the "nro-
iecuon" it nas enjoyed under every
Kepuniican tariff.
There Is nothing more certain
than that Roosevelt knew the in
iquity was practiced all the time he
was President.. We may be sure
that he was opposed to it, but the
bosses would not allow him even to
suggest reform In a message to
Congress. His ambition was strong
er man nis patriotism and to re
tain power he complied with every
wish of Aldrich and Cannon so far
as concerned, tho tariff.
.and this is the man who now
tells tne people that he alone can
reform the tariff. Faithless to that
duty for nearly eight years, he asks
the people to set him to the task
for another four years. Yet he is
rranK to say that for this camnaixn
the tariff 4s rather a trivial issue.
He claims that Wilson's sneech. ut
terly eviscerating his idea, of "prize
money," was the dragging of a red
herring across the trail to divert at
tention from more grave affairs. No
wonaer ce is tired of a tariff dis
cussion with his record on the sub
ject and Wilson's dissection of his
absurd plan to mate capital dis-
ccrge the swag and bestow it on
tther. ,
