Word comes from Dawson that the
body of Charles Tym, who disap

way, and there perished in the cold.

SKETCH SYCAMORE
OF IKE WABASH
The roots of the old line of states
men that so long summarized the
heights of American opportunity—
“From the Log Cabin to the White
House”—are being grubbed out
these days. The main part of the
forest is already gone. Indiana, in
Charles Warren Fairbanks, presents
a candidate for vice president who
goes back to that old line. He not
only was born in a log cabin, but was
cradled is a sugar trough. Some
term him as a “quiet man with a
warm heart.” But no one who
knows the real Fairbanks will say
that he is cold or lacking in cor
diality.
As extremely tall man, Fairbanks
has been termed “The Sycamore of
the Wabash.” In personal appear
ance he bears a resemblance to Lin
coln. Not only in appearance, but is
methods of work, in thinking and in
a sort of dry humor Fairbanks is
said to resemble the Civil W'ar presi.
A clean record as United States
senator from Indiana and the man
ner in which he has already filled the
office of vice president are the chief
assets in the Fairbanks’ claim for
fitness for re-election.
It has been pointed out that when
Fairbanks entered the United States
sesate in 1897 he did a remarkable
thing even in those days by severing
every railroad connection which he
had formed during his lawyer days
and by selling every public service
company security.
In his four years as vice president
he was absent from the presiding
chair in the senate only two days.
Fairbanks’ father, Loriston Mon
roe Fairbanks, was a poor wagon
maker. Barefooted in summer, as a
youth, Fairbanks urged the crops to
grow. In winter he carried his more
than six feet of frame across country
to the district school two miles dis
tant. At 15 he had saved $41. With
this and one suit of clothes he en
tered Ohio Wesleyan College. Funds
ran low and young Fairbanks
worked as a carpenter on Saturday.
White carpenters would not “fool
with students,” so he hired out to a
colored contractor. One day he and
Ira Andrews, his roommate, scuffled
and irreparably ripped those trou
sers. The leading merchant refused
credit. Finally a rival tradesman
took a chance and continued him on
a school basis to the extent of a
$3.25 “pants credit.” It was the be
ginning of a long friendship.

The New Remington
Is The Great Time Saver
ONE feature alone saves enough time in ordi
nary correspondence to pay for this new
Remington. That is the Improved Column Selector.
Surprising Speed
Your typist averages a dozen
“starting points” on each letter
with envelope. If he writes 40
letters a day the new Column
Selector saves from 20 to 30
minutes time. This time was
formerly wasted in slow tap-tap
taps to reach starting points on
the letter sheet and envelope.
With this new feature your
typist slips your letterhead in
the paper roll. He presses a
Cqjumn Selector key: Instant
ly the carriage runs and toes
the mark where the date should
be typed.
1 -Vs J
Acts Going and Coming
He writes the name. Then
he presses another Column Se
lector key and the carriage
comes to exact position for the
“street and number.” An
other key starts the “city and
state.”
Down the page it goes—in
stantly starting paragraphs,
“Yours truly” lines, names
and addresses on envelopes—
as precisely as though measured
by scale.
The new Column Selector insure* a neat
uniformity in all letter* that leave your
otficr. It gives your typist more minute*
to type. He doesn't waste time doing
thing* his machint should do for him.
It will pay you to step in and see the
•ix time-saving improvement* on this new
Remington.
