pie like him.
The common rule is that the
man who continually holds him-
self up as the special champion
of honesty and constantly takes
himself as an example of what a
really honest man will do the un-
worthy is looked on with more or
less suspicion and doubts of his
own sincerity, but in the case of j
Roosevelt, the majority of the
people hold him apparently in j
full as high estimation as he holds ]
himself, which means that he is
just about deified in popular opin-
ion
That he is arbitrary and at
times unjust, there is no doubt.
He does not possess that dispas-
sionate temperament that judges
all men fairly- He forgives of-
fenses in his favorites that he
would punish with relentless and
vindictive vigor in those who
have incurred his displeasure.
Yet notwithstanding his egotism,
his inconsistencies and his, at
tunes, manifest unfairness, lie is
certainly one of the greatest men
this country has produced.
Ordinarily the man who boasts
is a fraud and .i coward. Roose-
velt is a boaster, but he is also a
man of undoubtful physical and
moral courage as has been re-
peatedly demonstrated. Ordin-1
arily the man who preaches about
his own integrity is to be regard-
ed with suspicion as a hypocrite,
but everything indicates that
Roosevelt is an honest man and
sincere in his preachments.
Personally, I would like him a;
good deal better if he were more
modest and did not seem to carry
the impression that he has shoul-
dered the task of correcting the
political and personal morals of
the entire country, but just the
same 1 consider him a tremend-
ous force for cleaner government.

If he wants to, he can be re-!

the headline mention that is giv-

States. Why should he want to
be prosident again? If he can
get the nomination which woulcf
mean his election, and refuses to
accept, he will go down in history
as the first man since Washing-
ton who actually declined to ac-
cept the presidency when it was
offered him. It seems to me that
it would be the smart thing for
him to refuse, but he may not re-
gard it that way. He has been

whether it will be to his advant-

The Open Door
THE FARMERS' STATE BANK has
opened legitimate banking privileges to this
community—privileges long their due—and
the people have shown their appreciation
therefor by the large and increasing patron-
age given this institution.
The Directors and Stockholders who make
the semi-annual examination of the bank, in
all its details, are men of twenty years'
acquaintance in this community.
It is to the interest of every farmer to
open an account with the FARMERS' STATE
BANK. In addition to the safety afforded
by the conservative management of the bank;
the depositors are further protected by the
State Guaranty Fund, and rigid regulation of
the State Banking law.
This bank is d6ing a strictly banking bus-
iness, and engaging in 110 speculative
side lilies, combinations or pools.
Our Deposit Account registers the con-
fidence of the community. It is not bolstered
by anv outside money, public, banks or other-
wise.
We will clerk your sales, guaranteeing
satisfaction as in the past, and will render
full and detailed account therefor the next
day showing article, purchaser and price.
We will negotiate farm loans at the best
rates obtainable.
We pay interest on time deposits, large
or small.
