Mr. Taft laid at Omaha, Neb., last Wednesday: ‘‘I am now sure that. I will be elected President." Hf says he has quit worrying about the out come of the election. With Mr. Bfll hu Root running up to Republican headquarters In New York, Presi dent Roosevelt Issuing dally letters and contemplating taking the stump' and the leaders of the party prodding Treasurer Hitchcock for not bring ing in the funds fast enough. It seems that his colleagues are not quite so sure about the matter as is Mr. Taft. And then, if Mr. Taft Is absolutely sure that he Is going to be elected why does’nt he go home and take a good rest instead of making so many speaking trips over the country? Looks rather contradic tory, does’nt It? Eugene V. Debs, Socialist candi date for the Presidency, Is having a bout the best time of any of the as pirants for that high office. He Is making a 20,000 mile campaign tour of the country In what he calls the Socialists' "Red Special," a train consisting of a Pullman car, a day coach and a baggage car. The lat ter Is well stored with good things to Let the diet consist of foods that are nutritious.

A slon fees are paid everywhere speakB and the hat Is passed to boot. Aside from travelini comfortable style, having plenty good things to eat three times a day and one good cigar to smoke at night, Debs 1b free from all worry about votes. He has publicly de clared that he does not expect to be elected; that if he did, he would not have accepted the nomination, ac knowledging that he is not capable of filling the position. All in all It looks as if Debs is having the time of his life. Teddy Roosevelt, Jr., eldest son of the original and only Theodore Roosevelt, president of these United States, went to work ladt Wednesday in a carpet factory at Thompsonville, Conn., whereupon the metropolitan newspapers give him from one to two columns of space. His advent into the little town and his every move thereafter is'chronicled by the correspondents, who interviewed the young man about the time he hit town. Thousands of youag -fellows presumably as good as the presi dent's son, enter upon work of some kind every day but nothing is said about it. The only difference be tween those cases and the one in question Is, we suppose, the fact that In thlo dov onH timp it ia a rpmnrkft bly rare thing to see a son of a wealthy man or a man high up in public office hitching on to an ordi nary job. Here's hoping that Ted dy, Jr., will stick to his job and make a good workman, though the chances are against his doing any Buch thing. After spending many months as commander of an abandoned govern ment post at Fort Grant, Arizona, Col. William F. Stewart, U. S. A., whose friends have contended all a long that he was the victim of per sonal dislikes on the part of officials high up, has at last been accorded a hearing before an army board of medical examiners at Washington with result that said board, after an examination of some sort, has re ported to the officials in power that Colonel Stewart Is incapacitated for active service "on account of heart disease which he first exhibited thirty-four years ago.” He was placed In command of this barren and abandoned post by President Roosevelt and despite the continued efforts of his friends he remained there many months before his case was given attention. The question very naturally arises, In view of the decision of the medical board, “Why was Colonel Stewart not retired years ago If he has been suffering from heart disease for thirty-four years?” To a man up a tree it looks very much like Colonel Stewart is the victim of some kind of a con spiracy on the part of somebody. He has not as yet given up the fight and may win out yet by persistency. j_. N It looks like there may be some more resignations from places high up In the Republican campaign ranks. Since Mr. Du Pont of the powder trust stepped down and out Chairman Mack of the Democratic Executive National Committee and his associates have been envestlgat (ng the records of Treasurer George R. Sheldon and William Nelson Crom well, the latter a member of the Re publican advisory committee. Shel don, the man chosen by Chairman Hitchcock to milk the trust c^w, has an unenviable i trust record to his credit. It Is shown that because of his corporation and trust affiliations Governor Odell, of New York, In 1902 declined to allow his party to name Sheldon as his running mate. &mong the numerous trusts with which he has at various times been Identified was the "whiskey trust." fk quiet Investigation as to Crom well’s trust record haB been going on tor some days and it is altogether likely that the Democrats will show ihese two gentlemen up in such light ihat the Republicans will be forced :o ask for their resignations. It ooks, too, like Sheldon's own folks ire getting In behind him pretty iharply because he Is pot looking •losely enough after his departmen- 1 al work. Between Democratic ex- 1 >osures and Republican proof we loubt it Mr. Sheldon's path Is a very , osy one at present. i Dangerous to Scratch. I want to say to you to do noth- 1 ng dangerous. It Is dangerous for 1 i Democrat to scratch a ticket.

There are many ways in which the Black Patti Troubadours differ from all colored attractions, and a visit to see this best of all shows when it comes to the opera house to-night, Tuesday, October 6th, will compel those who have been complaining, that all shows are alike to qualify this statement by adding except The Black Patti Troubadours, and this year the 13th Trans-American and California tour is mapped out to cov er most all the Arge cities of the A merican continent—"Better than a circus," aye, even “better than a minstrel,” is the universal Verdict of this seasons Black Patti Trouba dours.

The report comes from Wall Street that one day last week, the Repub lican national campaign committee received a contribution that put It on a solid basis. How much It amount ed to, or who donated It, is not sta ted, but It will become known, de pend upon that. It must have been a large sum, or there would not have been so much mystery about It . and the fact that the newB was first given out from Wall Street Indicates that some Wall Street men may have a more or less direct connec tion with it.
