Well, come in and see the Mern
Junior' work its wonders.
The machine arrived some time
I'jo but accidents of transportation j
over took it and. what with sending
a portion to the railroad shops to
be stralght-ued out and ending down
to the factory for a duplies'*- of .1
small but important part that was
broken in transit, there lias be 11 ne
cessity on the part of all * onceriied
f?>r the exercise or that patience that
should distinguish all t;ood citizens
in all concerns of life. But tlu- per
iod of such necessity is now happily
passed ? the patience itself having
accomplished its purpose
Come in and see the machine per
form.
It is a wonder.
There would be little use to at
tempt to describe it; it is lik*1
nothing in heaven or earth save the
Standard Mors and not much like'
that. You never saw this machine?
it is safe to say no man in Skapway
ever saw this machine elsewhere. It
it new and has hut recently been in
troduced. Ii works on tin* same
principle as the Standard Mergen
thaler ? but differently. It casts a
line of type from matrices and the
matrices are distributed to their
places for use again immediately.
Tin' Junior is not so elaborate a ma
chine as the Standard but it is al
most as effective and quite sufficient

f>mall dully as The Alaskan.
It requires but on* man to operate
It and an expert can turn out from
I'.uOO ems to -1000, which is the hand
work of three men. The machine
sets two faces of type ? upper and
lower case and with an ease? chang
ing from the one to the other with
less trouble than does the man rattl
ing off stuff on a typewriter, manip
ulate his shift key to bring up the
CAPS.
The advantages of the machine are
not' limited to the making of type.
The little squares of metal that con
stitute type and that had to be
handled with such care are re
placed by solid "slugs" composing
an entire line, and thus reducing eas
ily by half the nervous strain that
goes with the "making up" of a
newspaper.
Come in and wonder with us at
the ingenuity by which this wonder
was wrought. The Mergcthaler
linotype machine is recognized as

IN POLITICS
(By United Press.)
Washington, Nov. 9.? to meet
the gossip which began early iu the
campaign aud which continued to
grow to its end, to effect that Taft
was elected by the Catholic vote be
cause of his known leaning toward
that religion, Mr. Roosevelt today
issued a statement to all the Wash
ington correspondents, gathered at
the cxocutivc offico for the purpose,
declaring that Taft's religious affilia
tions had nothing to do with it. Mr.
Roosevelt said that Mr. Taft was a
Unitarian as was also his wife and
that none of his brothers was a
Catholic. Mr. Roosevelt said he
would scorn a voter who allowed his
religion to enter into politics.

inventions. The idea of easting the
line rather than attempting to assem

spiration in the first place. That
was the Idea ? but it required close
application of years before the
mountain of difficulties were re
moved. This was done, however,
and the matter has been resolved
at last Into a very simple process
