when a bullet from the revolver of a
nisei named Sorank lodged in his
right breast penetrating 4 inches but
not reaching the lung, as be took his

public meeting, The courage of the
man may be understood when be

dress. Mr. Roosevelt would likely
have been killed had not the manu-
script of his speech been in the breast
-pocket of his coat and through which
the missle went. Sometimes a speech
has shortened a man's life* or caused
his death but this was contrarywise.
The ex -President may have to desist
from his energetic campaign but 130

will bring him meaty votes ou election
day. Three of his predecessors in the

blamed the church members for the
existence of licensed bar -rooms, as-

the saloon. He said the church
could wipe the liquor traffic out of ex-
istence to -morrow if it would but so
long as party stands first it will never
be. Wipe out this iniquity and then
will come the great revivals of the
masses.
