MAKES THE CITY SAFE
The movement now prevalent in
Sk'igw*y to tear dowu the old eye
sorts aud erect modern buildings is
a movement which eauiM.t Tecetve
4oo ii' u«h vraise om the part of
the uress and every citizen wihe
has chosen to rnajce this h.is home.
The movement set i~n foot by the
council and the Commercial club
•h;is had a telling effect on the pro
perty in this city. Buildings axe
being fitted for tenancy and moved
to new locations. The buildings
which before were fire traps and
unsightlv objects to behold will In
'he course of time appear as new
buildings, dressed In a delightful
coloring of oaiut and serve to fill
a need which has for some time ex
itsed iu this community.
From the stand point of fire pro
tect ior alone the movement is a
worthy one. Had a stiff blaze start*
ej in some of the buildings on a
windy day it would have been a
Ji'flcult problem to have saved th
business district of this oty from be
ing tE.t°n uj> bv flames. As it
promise? to be practically all of
the buildings will be occupied and
they will be placed in a safe con
dition so that little fear need be
held by the fire department of the
city.
UNITED STRENGTH
The tefusal of Theodore Roost?
vet; to accent the progressive nom
inatiuu and the adjournment of the
progressive faction »ine die points
to i republican sweep of the entire
fieli. The fact ih;« Mr. Roose
velt was a candidate for the repub
lican leadership will stop the pro
gressive faction from a disavowal of
the republican principles and plat
form. Between th» two partita it
will >>e 9imply a ques-tion of men.
It is hoped that a friendly relation
ship between the progressive and
republican partitas will be replied..
Th» general sentiment of the
country is for a republican adminis
tration. While the country is in a
precarious condition bt*h locally
and nationally, yet the pulse of
the American people beats strong
for a change of party adminlstra- j
tiou Pour years of democratic l
adml.ih1ra.ticn hag not brought
aSoui the self satisfaction that was
formerly felt under the rapubltaui
reign. Business has refused to ex
pand, railroads have ceased to
pu^h their lines Into sections of
th"* country awaiting development,
about 'he only noticeable business
activity which has been carried on
Is the munition business and war
order business which in no way can
be connected with polKies of the
country.
JUSTICE HUGHES
The centralization of practically
all of the republican delegates on
Char'es Evans Hughes as the re
publican nominee for president of
the United States and his election
on the third ballot speaks magnifi
cently for the strength and oonf
dence carried by that individual in
such a time as is now on the politi
cal horizon of the natiotn.
Mr. Hughes comes before the na- (
tiou at the prime of his life, hav- ^
iu» rendered a service in every of
fice to which he hag been elected,
with admirable comm.dation.
While serving the state of New t
York as Its administrative officer
he brought aJbout many progressive {
pieces of legislation which stand olS (
as !andtaarks ,on the statute books
ol chat state.
As Chletf Justice of the United (
States his decisions have been just- ,
ly rendered according to law. No
influence or sentiments, in faet, no
thing but the 'rue facts as present
ed to the court have been incor
porated into hia decisions. It is
the opinion of the legal profession '
that his decisions will he the Pre_ '
vailing law of the land until so- <
ciety changes its formation and a
different view Is takeu ou life aui
j»urrcundiu£ elements.
lu Mr. Hugbea la combined i
scholar, diplomatic, executive, juris
and administrative talewta whicl
he has fully developed. Iuitiativ
ana progressive In his Ideas whei
called upon to act, but keen au<
silent wheu uot called ujpon to ajc
the future, president of the Uult©(
Stales claims faithful allegiance U
'he r-Diibltcaji party, Ita pUtifon
aud its people.

with the very best of qurters
max.mu of attendants, finest o

insane asylum is a place to avoid.
Dut the Alaska insane are usee
as political pelf to fatten th<
poeke's of a slick and oily Ore
son politician. Now, it is possible
that through some misfortune youj
wifo or your husband roay 'become
insa.ie. A jurv has no other re
course than to declare a dementee
person Insane and in due course oi
tfc:>e the patient is delivered ai
