Secretary Hay to the Young Men
Of America.
There ia not today on all the earth a
man who command* more attention,
whoae advice and counael goes further,
than Secretary of State John Hay. Aa
a atateaman be la appealed to upon the
most Intricate International qnestlona.
His atatement aa to what ahould or
should not be contraband of war in
the Bustian Japanese war has been ao-
septed by all nationa. No American
statesman since Blaine has command-
ed the respect of the world as has John
Hsy. That he haa conaented to remain
at the head of Prealdent Koosevelt'a
cabinet another term, should he be
elected, is worth much to tbs United
Statea, and Is appreciated by the loyal
patriotic clt'.tena of the nation, those
who love the oountry and admire Its
greatness
In one of hla addresses Secretary
Hay gave the Mowing advice to the
young men who would this year eaet
their first votes, assume their plaoes in
the management of this grsat govern
ment:
"I want to say a word to the young
man whoee political life la beginning—
Any one entering business would be
glad of the chance to become one of an
sstabliahed firm with years of suoeeas
behind It.
Everything great done by this coun-
try in the last fifty years has been done
ander the aaspleee of the Republican
party. IsDotthlsapricslessasset?
Lincoln and Gcaat, Hayes and Gar-
field, Harrison and McKinley-namee
secure In the beaten of fame—they an
gone, leaving smell eetatee In worldly
goods, but vast possessions In princi-
ple, memorise and aacred assoelaUona
It Is a atart in life toehare this wealth
In our form of government then
must be two parties.
But what young man would net
rather belong to the party that does
things, Instead of the one that opposes
them; to the party that looks up rather
than down; to the party of dawn rath-
er than that ef sunast.
For fifty years the Republican party
haa believed la the oountry and labor-
ad for It In hope and Joy.
Haa reverenced the flsg and followed
It
Has carrlsd It under atrange sklss
*nd piantedl It oo far needing shorn.
Hs\seen the nation grow greater
every year end mon rsspeoted.
Haa aeen the country extend Ita In-
fluence to regiona unknown to uur
fathera.
Tet it has never sbatsd one jot or
tittle of the sncient law Impoaed on uo
by God fearing aneeetora. The Conatl-
tution of ourratbers has been the light
to our feet. Our path Is, and will ever
remain, thst of ordered progress, of
liberty under the law.
But we sre not daunted by progreaa
We are not afraid of the light.
The fabric our fathera bullded will
atand all ahock of fate or fortune.
While then will alwaya to a proud
pleaaure in looking baek on the Metory
they made, the coming generation haa
the right to anticipate work not lea*
important.
We wtoo are pesslng off the atage bid
you, as tbs ehlldren of Ieiael encamped
by the sea wen bidden, to go forward.
We whoee hands ean no longer hold
the flaming torch, pass it on to you
that Its clesr light may show the truth
to the sges that an to oome."

Hush, Bn. Williams, the Buaslan*

Up and at them.
A Democrat would ntber that a few
oOoe holders should havs plssndthe
people soup, than that the people
ahould have pie and the offices held by
Kepublioana.
The Democrats of Oklahoma are so
worried over the statehood queatlon
They want statehood for Oklahoma,
but thslr habit of being in opposition
to ths fispubUoans pnvsnts their glv
lngthem an endorsement. The Demo
cnte of Oklahoma have never agreed
with the Democrats in congreea and
they don't now. When the Republl-
cane of Oklahoma wen urging imme-
diate etetebood with the privilege of
attaehiag portions of ths Indian terri-
tory as fsstss ready, the Democrat*
wanted slngls statehood for both ter-
rltorts*. Thsir party In congrees tbsn
wanted two statee. Mow that the Re-
publicans an In favor of aingle state-
hood the Democrats in congress an
against it Now, the proper course for
the Democrsts of Oklahoma to pursue
la to fall in with the Republicans, stick
to their old proposition, all veto for
lioOulre, and make It unanimous.

for Fall and Winter.

Col. Bryan Is aaid to be aufferlng
with a bad cold, the reason why he ia
not csmpsignlng for ths Democratic
ticket We have an idea that his brain
Is euffering more thao hla throat with
the chilly froete of the 8t. Loul* con-
vention.
The Patuot would be willing to
reat the judgment and declaion of the
American people upon a careful read
ing of the letters of acceptance of
Prealdent Rooaevelt and Judge fsrksf.
No intelligent man can read thoae ex-
pressions of ths csndldates, one of
whom will be elected, without ssylng
as an American citizen thst ths lsttor
of Prseldent Roosevelt Is by whatever
manner measured vestly superior to
that of Judge Parker. It is a straight-
forward prssentatlon of conditions;
there Is no attempt to say one thing
and mean another; no evasion or ap-
ology whatever; it says something In
every pangraph; and the reader can
understand it. The letter of Judge
Parker Is tbft of a shrewd lawyer,
wherein he hopes to catch the votes by
strategy. It la svasive and smooth; it
Intimates and inslnustee, while not be
lng openly committal; It avoids and
leaves the reader to dnw his owa con-
clusions.
