Mr. Lutterloh who was elect­ed tax collector some months a- go ref using to serve, nominations for this office were in order. The following were nominated: J. L. Patillo, J. ,L. Wagoner, H. F.

Ice Cream Supper Success.The ice cream sapper given

by the Baraca class ©f the Meth­odist Protestant Sunday school last Saturday night was a success.

The proceeds amounted to about $11.00, which will be app­lied to their class room fund.

The Aurora Concert Band, ablyi assisted by several members of the Oneida band of Graham, un­der the leadership of Prof, Spi~ ker, furnished music for the occ­asion, which was splendidly ren­dered. The Baraca boys des­ire to expiess their appreciation of the will-rendered music.

the best men in all parties for tiie different county offices, arid then go Out and elect the ticket, if the men now holding office appear to be the best for the various positions nominate them, if on the other hand it is the sense of the mass convention that other men ate better qualified to fill these positions now held by the present incumbents, then nominate them, and while in this mass meeting or convention discuss ways and means to cut down expenses, re­duce the county indebtness, and prevent another increased assess­ment, or an increased rate of taxation, one or both is sure to come and that speedily unless something along this line is done, we are in a bad row of stumps. It is no use for the Republican party to nominate a ticket unless they can better present financial condi­tions, it would be bette** for the Democrats not to nominate a ticket unless they can devise some; means to better eonditisns, there is no just or good excuse for thSe good old county of Alamance to be grounded upon the rocks of financial distress, what steps, tax-payers are you going to adopt to protect your interests, you are surely playing a losing game now, will you change umpires, put a new catcher behind the bat, select a good short stop, and try a new pitcher, with,a tried and true sight fielder? The bases are full of debts, the batter has just knocked a foul, and you are threatened with a home run bond issue, if you won’t vote it, there will be a slide in through the next legislature, are you satisfied with the umpire? Now is time to have you say, before the game is called.

Trenton, N. J. July 9t— Gov- cannot I ernor Woodrow Wilson Was in

conference for Samuel Gompers and officials of the American Fed­eration of Labor. After the meeting, Gompers said; ; v .

“We discuss with the Govern­or the platform adopted by the Baltimore Convention and exp-

a vote of 55 to 28 Senator Lorimer, of Illinois,

.v s deprived of his seat to the Sed States Senator today, inis judgement of the senate

. 'mmated one of the sternest «Jf^ative days that congressio- fil^story has known. If the w “ghts made for and against ^o.imer were bitter, this latest

^ ni^h began on the legislate J® day of July 6th, fcto been 0n« more bitter.

raised ourselves as being m entire approval with the planks which apply to legislation and principles aifeciing the rights of the working people of the United States. I think the platform goes as a great political party can declare under prese nt indus­trial and. political conditions— that is with any. degree of ass­urance of being . enacted into law.” '...'■

Gompers said no other questions in the platform were discussed and when asked wrha,t particular phases Were considered, said:

“We discussed that part of the platform which applies to the issuance of injunctions and con­tempt proceedings growing out of the writ. ; \

“We also discussed the declar­ation that voluntary associations of workingmen should not pro­perty come under the provisions of the Sherman Antitrust Law, as being in illegal restraint of trade, but should be treated as associations of men* women deal ing in • product and not organ­ized for profit.

We also discussed the declar­ation in regards to the proper manning of vessels and the abo­lition of involunatary servitude for sermon.” ■

Mr. Gompers said that he and his colleagues were actiug as,, en­voys o l the men.” ; Whenhe ther the Federation of Labor will support the Democratic tic­ket, be legues and they will make a declaration or authorize us to make it.”

He also asked whether Presid­ent Taft and former President Roosevelt would also be interv­iewed and replied that ■‘Repulican platform as “a magnificent piece of literary production and pun­ctuation, but in so far as it affec­ted the working people and their rights, it is conspicously lack­ing.”

In addition to Gompers, the American Federation was repre­sented at the conference by Frank Morrison, secretary; Dennis Hayes, vice president; William J. Spencer, secretary of jhe building trades department; A. J. Barnes, secretary of the metal trades department, and John Moffitt, Arthur Holden and M; G. Hairi- ilton, members of the legislative committee. Representative Hug­hes, o f. New Jersey, who has fathered much labor legislation, was also present. Following the conference the Governor left for Atlantic City.

Mrs. G. M. Brooks.(Com m unicated)

Lula Olivia, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Marion Dorsett, of Chatham county, was born at Graff/ Chi* ham county, October H '1 8 7 8 , was married tolfe G. M. Brooks; of Burlington, December 11, 1902 and <ued at her home in the. later place, July 6, 1912. ,

No death has oceured iii Bur­lington' recently that cause more profound sorrow then did that of

rs. Brook*. It was not gen­erally known that she was serio­usly sick until a day or so before the end, hence when the ann­ouncement was made that she Was dead It was quite a shock to her many friends.

It is the good fortune of tiat a few to be endowed with a more striking personality than had tiie subject of this sketch. She had a strong face and a strong body and no one could meet her with­out peing impressed with the fact that she was above the ave­rage person in intellectual power.

She was posessed with one of the rftost lovely disposition that it had been our pleasure to know. Regardless of what might happen she never lost possesion oi herpelf and made one feel that he was in th£ presence of one whos business it was to make those about her feel at ease.

She had a commanding appeara­nce, bu t did not command as one" in authority, but her personality was such that one in her pre­sence felt the force of her cha-

weight that to obey was the nat­ural consequnece.It seems trite to say that “those

who knew her loved her. ” They • eould not do Otherwise, her man­ners, her even temper, her kind works were such that drew al l who came in contract with he r unconsciously.

Few persons are . with a finer iwnseof

charge of his affairs and it did not require an extra allotment of time for her to decide what was best to be done, but when the time came for a decision in bus­iness matters her mind acted qui­ckly and nearly always correctly.

Her husband relied upon her to a great extent in the pfosecu- tion of the affairs of life., In her home she was almost

a modle, her children knew to obey her. She controlled them through the power of love and a sweet disposition. In this sac­red place she was stronger than any other. She Was a help to husband a guide to her children and all who entered her home realized that they were in the presence of one who could make them feel perfectly at home without an effort to do so. Every one felt at fease with her.

Early in life she joined the Bap­tist church at Love’s Creek m Chatham county, and was faith­ful to that churqh until about a year ago when she connected herselt with Front Street Meth­odist church in Burlington with her husband. She was always true to her church vows and it was a real cross to her not to be able to attend upon its services.

Her life was consistent with her profession. She loved to talk about Christ and what he had done for her. Her greatest joy was in Him;

Her funeral was held by her pastor in Front Street church last Saturday morning and the many who attend attested her popularity in the community. She: leaves a husband, three chil­dren a father and, three broth­ers and two sisters to mourn their loss. May God bless them and sustain them.

The Real Third Party.In the national Prohibition par­

ty in session at Atlantic City the country has tbe real third party. This party has undeviatingly held aloft the banner of the pro­hibition of the liquor traffic in all its branches for many years and its results have been seen in hard-fought state campaigns. Therefore, this party is not dis­posed to see another party come into the field with different ob­jects and usurp the title of third party and a party of prog­ress.

The national Prohibition party is composed of men whose sin- cerety and whose devotion’ to the ends of humanity as they see them may not be controverted. The definite and clear-eut stand of the Prohibitionists rnarkes it possible to see exactly where they line up. They make no compro­mise and resort to no round-about methods. They simply say they want the abolition of the liquor traffic and mean to get it. Nor will it do to discourage them be­cause of their failure to achieve much ih the national field. The growth of sentiment for the cause may be credited quitely large tp its continued advocacy by this party.

Therefore, as th,e third party that has long held that claim, the Prohibitionists in their con­vention will receive the respect­ful attention of all whose view of the national field is hospitable to al). factors that enter into the good of society.

Whitsett, July 10.—Alphoijso Boon died yesterday, and was buried today at Frieden’s church, funeral services being conducted by Rev. Jas. D. Andrew.

and had spent all his liie in this community upon the old homestead.

From early manhood he was a cripple, and always travelled up­on a special ponveyance Until his recent illness he was a fami­liar figure upon all occasions be­cause of his unusual way of get­ting about.

PUBLIC OPINION.(Philadelphia Press.)

Senator Cummins, an early and original progressive, has taken a stand against a third party move­ment. Senator La Follette, it is declared, also will make known very shortly that he too proposes to remain a Republican. Sera tors Works, of California; Jones, of Washington; Kenyon, of Iowa; Brown, of Nebraska, and Gron­na, of North Dakota, are sup­porters of Roosevelt for the nom­ination, decline to join with him in a movement intended to defeat the Republican party. If Roose­velt had heard from the people before he decided to bolt he ought to let this message be known Most of his associates do not seem to have heard the same news.

Some of them, indeed, are waiting for more light and re­fuse to decide for or against a bolt until they have heard from home. T he movement should, indeed, have one good effect in compelling Roosevelt men who have been made Republican elec­tors to vote the Republican tick­et or join the bolters openly. Otherwise th e ir treachery and double-dealing would be too odi­ous to be tolerated in any quart­ers.

The bolt is not merely faction­al, but personal. Its object is to Put Roosevelt in nomination for the presidency. Colonel Roose­velt has won many distinctions. If nominated in August as pro­posed he will have the additional ojstinction of being the first man in the history of American poli­tics who being beaten for nomi­nation at the*national convention of his party, refused to abide by the result and headed a .move­ment to defeat his own party.

An Aggressive Campaign.Everyday that passes witness­

es the strengheningof the forces °f the Republican party. This Progress of the destinies of Mr. i ait to the conclusion of success it is believed will continue with

accelerated pace as the campaign develops. The reaction of the country from radicalism is every­where apparent. The men who stand for the overthrow of the foundations of the country's prosperity are losing influence with the masses of the people. The fact there are two canidates m the field who represent only panaceas, and each of them is preparing to exploit his wares with the vociferousness of an Indian nostrum vendor has had the effect of alienating great masses of the thinking v'voters. Had Roosevelt and Wilson come into some form of agreement, pooling their interests in any manner indicative of mutal con­fidence in the theories they ai^ vance, ihe effect would have been to convince their unstable followings that they might count with assurance upon the progress p ' radicalism in a definite direct­ion. As the matter stands, thf» radical positions and undefined and inharmonious, as preposfect by the other two leaders of the radical parties. They are in need of clarifying, and lacking the ability to give them clearness Roosevelt has simply reiterated his cry of stealing from the peo­ple. Wilson seems to be as de­void of resourcefulness in initia- ative. His platform is a plain straddle uponv every important subject and lacks the ringing earnestness of vision and inspir­ation. There is no substance in it for a really successful exploit­ations of radical positions. It is simply Democratic hodepodge. > Buncombe is the essence ot i s j phraseology.

The third party advocate sees that he must play the part of a pararite in order to. make any­thing like a respectable showing. He sees that it is up to him, so to speak, to break up the Demo­cratic party, if, his scheme of having the old parties divided into radical and progressive shall prevail He perceives that it is only through the faculty of being a first-class trouble maker and a spoiler that he can save himself from being utterly submerged. Hence the real prop of Roosevelt will be Wilson and not Taft, The President has a positior. He has a party. He has a record. He has a history behind him. He has the industries of the country for his support. He has the wageworker on his side. Despite the rising prices that go along with prosperity the wage­worker is better clothed and housed than ever before in his life. The farmer is with the President. He has .his farm cleared of mortgages and is re­velling in the- best range of prices for his produce ever recieved in the .history of American agricul­ture.

The Republican party is in the mood and has the opportunity for an aggressive campaign. It wili reap simply by the thousands the votes that Roosevelt and Wilson will fail to secure through their divisions, and the advertis- ment thereby of the unstable and untenable nature of purely radical propesitions and parties. Democrats and Republicans alike who stand for the conservation of capital will vote for Taft. They only need to have displayed to them the fact that the Repub­licans by an aggressive campaign are bent upon safeguarding in­dustry. The Wage-workers looking to the operation of the manufactures of the nation for their continued employment will shy away from the man who wants to bring free trade havoc among than—the theoretic Wil­son—and they will equally shy away from the man who con­fesses he knows nothing about the tariff—the impulsive Roose­velt. The wageworker wants work. He does not want rain­bows. He wants continued em­ployment at a living wage. He does not want an empty dinner pail begirt with radical ribbons. Capital and labor were never closer and the general economy of the country was never so well fitted to the betterment of the social state of-the masses of the people. Every improvement in industrial processes, every great invention in the field of product­ion tends to greatly increase the volume of popular wealth, even though these things inure to the good of their exploiters.

With the farmers and the wageworkers contented and with capital bent upon protecting the sources of earning the field for a campaign of discontent cannot be regarded as hopeful. The Re­publican party however, may not rest upon the increments to their strength from the impossible positions of their opponents They must work like beavers and speak out with confidence and further the process of disintegra* ion of radicalism .that is a lread y going: on. Taft and effective nationalism. must win the day.

will not be fooled by the promise of the politician to cut the groce­ry bill in twain. Why ? Because he well knows that such promis­es are as futile as they are in­sincere. The tru t^ isthe aver­age person is unwilling to place tbe high cost of living where it justly belongs, and that is with' himself.

There are to be sure, economic factors entering into considera­tion and something to be expect­ed of tariff revision that keeps in mind the protection of home industry and of the regulation of trusts as entered upon by President Taft; but for the most part the growing expense of our daily life are due to personal ex­travagance or the gratification of luxurious taste, and humane na­ture choose to place the respon­sibility elsewhere.

We live in better homes than our forefathers; sons and daugh­ters are raised with an appetite for luxury; the young folks who wed must begin where their par­ents left off; whereas his father got along with a common school education, the son must be sent to college; when we travel it must be in a Pullman; we stop at the best hotels, and the hotels are constantly becoming more ex­pensive to meet the growing taste for luxuries; we patronize the most gilded places of amuse­ment; we m u3t dress as well as ©ur neighbors, and our neighbors feel they must dress a little bet­ter than us; the round steak has become a tenderloin; the cotton stocking a silk one; the one- horse shay an automobile; the pipe a fragrant Havana; the wa­ter of the well has turned to wine, and the quick-lunch coun­ter a lobster palace—and yet we complain of the high cost of liv­ing!

The truth is, this generation is having the time of its life, but let's be reasonable and philoso­phical about it. Asa people we have grown in grace, and if we insist upon better homes, better education for our children, more wholesome pleasure and recrea­tion and plenty of it, it is a sign of higher mental attainment, of growing capacity to obtain and enjoy and of expanding ambi­tions.

PUBLIC OPINION.Now' Ygrk Tribune.

I f political horor were univer­sal all the followers of Colonel Roosevelt who have been nomi­nated as electors by the Repub­lican party either would pursue the course adopted by the Mary­land elector who announces that

I he feels bound, if elected, to cast I his vote for Mr. Taft in spite of his personal preferences or would withdraw from the ticket. Only these two courses are honorable. To remain on as Republicans, inviting the voters of Republic­ans, while intending to vote for the (candidate of another party, is to perpetrate a fraud. It can have no other purpose than to disfranchise intending Republic­an voters, a3 specifically in Kan­sas, it is said, or to deceive them.

As this Maryland elector says, he was put on the ticket with the understanding that he would support the Republican candidate for president to be chosen at the Republican National Convention, whoever he might fate. That is the tacit understanding with ev­ery elector chosen. To carry it out has alw&vs been held to be a solemn obligation, so solemn that in alt the history of the national elections since the party system and national conventions develop­ed no elector has ever Violated it.

The Coloners followers have not produced a single argument to justify their course of nomi­nating as Republican electors men who are not Republicans at all but who intend to vote a- gainst the Republican candidates for president and vice president. It is a steal, pure and simple, of the Republican party's name and place on the ballot.

The so- called ban of the bosses only goes as far as the governor himself. His following wiil doubtless see to it that the bosses are active in the work of earrying states. It is fine to dream of a sure thing but it takes hustle to get it.

When it comes to pristine pur­ity of the source of campaign funds those that will back the efforts of Mr. Taft to return to the White House will bear scru­tiny with those employed either for the bull moose candidate or the academic candidate- When it comes to, matters of organiza­tion Mr. Taft will have the best organization that has ever been behind a candidate, and it will do its work in the open. If the third party merges its organiza­tion into one personalty and if the Democratic party is content to let Wilson win on his own hook the outcome will be assured* The fact is that the talk of ban­ning bosses is Democratic twad­dle, and the need and importance of organization will be felt keen­ly by them as others. Never- the less, the Taft forces are getting a fine lead in prepared­ness for the contest and will have much in their favor at the start.

High Cost of Living.That the high cost of living

will be one of the chief political arguments by the, Democrats and perhaps the third party is alrea­dy evidenced. The chief end of this of course will be a view of entering the White House, and to this end it is the business of the outs to pillory the ins and to convince as many thoughtless people as possible that their fal­lacies are facts.

That the high cost of living is an issue is not denied and that Jthe Republican party is as anx­ious to make the ^ostof living,as cheap as possible can not be de­nied. But the, intelligent man

IT’S DANGEROUS TO KEEP MONEY HIDDEN AROUND THE HOUSE,

The following, which appeared in the papers a few clays ago, illustrated very forcibly one of the many real sons why money should not be kept in any considerab^o sums around the home.

This speaks for itself:. “Dawson, Ga., June 25.-M rs. Lou John­

son, an elderly widow, living near here, was burned to death early today and her home was destroyed by fire. Relatives state that the wo- man had large sums of money secreted about her home. They express the belief that Mrs. Johnson was murdered, robbed and the house set on fire.”

TAFT WILL NOT STUMP COUNTRY

Washington, July 1 3 .-Presi­dent Taft will not take the stump or do any extensive campaigning in his own behalf this fall.

This statement was made at the white house today when the president declined the invitation of the board of managers of the Minnesota State Agricultural so­ciety to attend the Minnesota State fair the last week in Sep tember. ’ |

The telegram of in vitation said m part- 4 ‘The people of Minne­sota and the northwest are eager to see you and personally listen to your views on the great issues of this campaign. ”

In declining to make any cam­paign trips the president has ac­quiesced in the opinion of his ad­visors, who always have contend ed it would be better for him to maintain the presidential dignity by remaining in Washington and issuing an occasional statement than to enter on an extended and heated series of arguments with his opponents.

It is thought the president may visit some of the larger Eastern cities for “one night stands” late in October, but he will do no more.

An invitation to attend the meeting of the general society of Mayflower decendants at Ply­mouth, Mass., on September 6th was declined today by the presi­dent.

The Lemon.Few peoplejknow the, value of

lemon juice. A piece of lemon bound upon acorn will cure it Jin a few daps; it should be renew­ed night and morning. The free use of lemon juice and sugar will relieve a cough. Most people feel poprly in the spring, but if they will eat a lemon every morn­ing for a week with or without sugar as they like they will find it better than medicine. Lemon juice, used according to this re­cipe, will sometime cure con­sumption: Put a dozen lemons into cold water and slowly bring to a boil; boil slowly until the lemons are soft, then squeeze until' all. the juice exhausted; add sugar to your taste and drink In this way use a dozen lemons a day. If they cause pain and loosen the bowels too much, less­en the quantity and use only six a day until you are better; and then begin a dozen a day. After using five or six dozeu the pat­ient wili begin to gain flesh and enjoy food. Hold on to the lem­ons and stiil use them freely for several weeks more. Another use for lemons is for refreshing drink in summer, or in sickness at any time. Prepare it as above directed and add water and sug­ar. But in order to have this keep well, after boilmg the lem­ons squeeze and strain carefully;, then to every pint of juice add one pound of crushed sugar; bolt and stir a few minutes more until the sugar is dissolved, skim carefully and bottle. You will get more juice from the lemons by boiling them and the prepar­ation keep's better. —San Fran­cisco Chronicle.

A writer says “The future of society is in the hands of the mothers. If the world was lost through woman she alone can save it.” Perhaps so. No one can deny the influence of women but the men too, must hove their share in the work. Do not put the heaviest burden on the weak er vessel, Men1 can go where, and do what woman cannot if they only will. We expect to give from time to time extracts of Hobsons wonderful speech, The Great Destroyer. It will be well for men and women to get and read the whole of it. It would surely be worth while. Boys and girls should read it also. Untold good would be done if they could be made to realize that the future of the nation depends

EXTRACTS FROM HOBSON’S SPEECH.

Jn the domain of the individual and in the domain of the state, in both domains everywhere, and all the time, let it never be for­gotten that every inch of the ground will be contested, that the struggle with the great des­troyer is war that he wages war cruel unrelenting more deadly than any savage war of ex­termination. No nation has kept this destroyer in its midst and survived. America is not differ­ent from the nations of hlst6ry. The records for 3000 years leave no room for doubt. One or the other must perish. . Between Amferiea and this great destroyer it is war to the death.

THE LAST STAND OF THE HUMAN RACE.

In America we are making the last stand of the great white race and substantially of any race. If this destroyer cannot be conquer­ed in young America it cannot in any of the old and more generate nations. If America fails the world will be underdone and the human race will be doomed to go. down from degeneracy into de­generacy till the Almighty in wrath wipes the whole thing oat.

We beg every woman especial­ly every mother, who has a son to rear, Hto study—beginning now—through some lawyer- friend the divorce laws of our state. Before the meeting of the next legislature there is a certain iniquitous law, practically uphold ing a double ttandard of morals for men and women, that should be wiped off our statute books. We are sure the State W. C. T. U. will make a fight. Let Burl­ington mothers be so posted that they shall be able to fight intelli­gently. A few careful mothers and fathers may be able to teach their boys the sacredness of mar riage, the Christian doctrine of divorce, and the single standard of morals for men and women, but woe be to that teaching when the boy grows into young man­hood and reads that our great commonwealth has incorporated in its body of laws that which gives license to the blackest of sins. ’Tte lor the ooy we plead just now, ana in pleading for him we plead for the race. For we have allowed him to ‘‘sow his wild oats” through the centuries till they have well-nigh choked the whole harvest. We must rear our boys to be pure as well as our girls or the race is doomed to physicial, mental and moral de generacy.

CLARK TO VISIT WILSON

Washington, July 10.—Mem­bers of the sub-committee of nine of the Republican National Committee, who remained in Washington today for conferen­ces with the national chairman, Charles Hilles, Representative William B. McKinley and other leaders of President Taft’s cam­paign, outlined the program which they expected would be followed on July 19 at a meeting in New York to select a nation­al treasurer and appoint an exe­cutive committee and an advisory commiitee.

It was the sentiment of most of the committeemen here that the advisory committee should be composed chiefly of qnen not on the Republican National Commit­tee. It seemed to be settled, however, that National Commit­teeman, William Barnes, Jr. of New York, would be a jnember.

Senator W. Murray Crane, former Representative James A. Tawney, of Minnesota, Senator Norris Brown, of Nebraska, Ot­to Stifel, of Missouri, and Repre­sentative McKinley were all talk- ed-offor places. There was a pronounced sentiment in favor of having the progressive ele­ment of’the party represented.

For the executive committee, John T. Adams, of Iowa, CharlesB. Warren, of Michigan, ThomasC. Niedringhans, of Missouri, and Ralph E. Williams, of Oregon were being considered but other names will ba added to the list of availables.

The western men are pressing for the appointment of a nation­al treasurer from some middle western or western state. They point out that both Chairman Hilles and Secretary James B. Reynolds are from eastern states. David ~R. Forgan, of Chicago, who was the Taft leader in the Illinois primary fight was said to he favored by some of the com­mitteemen, though Otto Bannard of New York, and John Ha: s Hammond, of Washington, were still talked of.

Chairman Hilles was busy to­day turning over his work at the White House to the assistant sec­retaries. He probably will go to New Yo*k Saturday. Secretary Reynolds went to New York to­day to arrange for the opening of national headquarters.

Mr. Hilles said today that there would be three headquarters open during the compaign—one- (the chief) at New York, the second in Chicago and the third on thev Pacific Coast, either at San Fran-. cisco, Cal. or Portland, Ore. The headquarters on the Pacific Coast will be something new in campaigns and is Mr. Hilles’ own idea. The literary bureau in charge of a well known news­paper man as publicity agent, will be opened, among the first things done after Mr. Hilles ar­rives in New York, and from this bureau will be managed the stump speakers’ tours and the distribution of campaign docu­ments.

It became known today that President Taft has expressed a desire that the committee on no­tification should perform that ceremony here in Washington, rather than at his summer home, at Beverly. Th$ notification will take place during the first weefk in August by the committee ap­pointed by the Chicago conven­tion. If it takes place in Wash­ington, the event will be marked by an elaborate social function at the White House. The Presi­dent’s speech of acceptance is looked forward to as a notable one, in which he will sound the Repablican battlecry. He will also deal with the tariff and the trusts, and squarely take issue with the Democratic plank of tariff for revenue only. The President will declare for feder­al supervision and regulations uf trust as a curb for these evils.

years ago I was caught in the raiji a t the wrong time, ” writes Edna Rutherford, of Uouglas- viile, “and from that time, was taken with dumb chills and fe­vers, and suffered more than I can tell. I tried everything that I thought would help, and had four doctors, but got no releif. I took Cardui, the woman’s tonic. Now, I feel better than in many months. f* Cardui does one thing and does it well. That’s the se­cret of its 50 years of success. Try Cardui.

•Washington, July 10.—Speak­er Clark may go to Sea Grit Fri­day evening for a conference with Governor Wilson. Both Mr. Clark and Majority Leader Underwood, hrve acknowledged invitations from the Governor and have replied that they would visit him when the business of the House permitted them.

If the House adjourns over Saturday this week the Speaker probably will make the visit then; Mr. Underwood way accompany him.

Paradoxically, the Democratic freetraders wljould fill up the dinner pail by slicing off opport­unity for employment.

Terrible Picture ot SufferingClinton, Ky.—Mrs. M. C. Me

Elroy, in a letter from Clinton, writes:“ For six years, I was a sufferer from female troubles. I could not eat, and could not stand on my feet, without suffering great pain. I had lost hope. After using Cardui a week, I began to improve. Now I feel better than in six years.” Fifty years of success in actual practice, is positive proof, furnished by those who have used it, that Cardui can always be relied on for re­lieving female weakness and dmase. Try Cardui, today, now!

Spit, pit, Fit.Hines, Ala.—In a letter from

this place, Mrs. Eula Mae Brad­ley says: “I used to spit up all I ate. I was tired and sleepy all the'time. My head ached, and I could hardly drag around. Since taking Cardui, this has entirely quit, and now I feel quite fit.” Mrs. Bradley suffered from ner­vous indigestion. Cardui builds 4 the nervous system, and strengthens the womanly consti­tution. That’s why Cardui help­ed Mrs. Bradley and why it will help you. Try it.

Mr. Hilles’ choice this mor­ning by the subcommittee of nine was a surprise. When the nat­ional convention odjourned in Chicago a few weeks ago it was generally u n d e r s t o o d that Mr. Hilles • would manage the campaign.

TRIAL OF CLAUD AL

and his duties included juvisdic tion over the Customs Service.

Upon the executive board will depend the management of the campaign, and hence they are not enjoying sinecure?. In 1904 and 190S the sergeant-at-arms, who, by virtue 6f his office, is in actual charge of headquarters, was excused from taking any’ part in the management, but it is more than probable that his services will be needed this time.

President Taft has decided that the pledge of the Repbblican platform to revise the tariff after scientific study of all conditions involved in each industry shall be the battle cry of the iighc.

It is assumed that the Demo­crats will make the tariff their issue, and the wise men in Gov­ernor Wilson’s-campare undoubt- ly already busy trying to square their candidate’s free trade dec­larations with the “tariff for rev­enue" pledge of the platform. Colonel Roosevelt will doubtless howl about the tariff as cheerful­ly as he can about any other sub­ject whicti he Regards as a profit­able issue for the moment, so that the tariff will be the princi­pal topic of discussion until-next November.

While no program has yet been mapped out it is the pjesent belief that neither President Taft nor Governor Wi si n will rival Cf 1 Roosevelt’s program of b barn­storming President Taft will prepare many addresses which- will be delivered on occasions judiciously selected. He will speak either at Beverly or at Washington before audiences that will be representative. So, coo, Governor Wilson expects at present to deliver most of his ad­dresses &t his own home. The circus element of the campaign will be the congenial and exclu­sive right of Colonel Rooseyelt. He will doubtless dash all over the country in characteristic fashion, entertaining the thought less and stirring up class hatred and prejudice until in the end he will overreach himself and the thoughtful voters of this country, anxious for the preservation of its institutions and confident of President Taft’s devotion to or. derly progress, will again cast their ballot for him.

It is understood that the jury eight for murder in the first degtffee ans four for acquittal. Allen is already under a penitntiary sentence of fifteen years for killing Judge Massie.

Washington, July 12.—Under the caption The Case of Mr. Roo­sevelt, Senator La Follette has written the following editorial in the current number of La Fol- lette’s Weekly:

“Bryan at Baltimore, forego­ing all chance of his own nom­ination, marshaling all his for­ces, braving Tammany and the trusts to rescue his party from their domination, carrying the Convention for the adoption of the most progressive Democratic platform yet offered and the nom­ination of the most progressive Democratic candidate availacle, was a towering figure of moral power and patrotic devoting to civic righteousness.

4 ‘Roosevelt at Chicago, cacked by derved from the ^tock-water­ing operations of tKe Steel Trust and the Harvester,/Trust org­anizing what are now confessed to have been fake contest as to nearly two hundred delegates in order to control the Republican Convention and secure his own nomination,' refusing to aid in making a piogressive platform, bound to have the nomination or destroy the Republican partv, was a most striking example of misdirected power and unworthy ambition.

“Roosevelt had as great an opportunity to serve the progre­ssive cause in Chicago as Bryf n had at Ealtimore. But Roose­velt was serving th2 man, not the cause. He wanted one thing —he wanted the nomination. And yet he did not have enough votes to nominate himself upon any honest basis. He did have enough delegates in that conven­tion ultimately to have nominated a real progressive and adopted a strong progressive platform.He could even have nominated Hadley on such platform, and progressive Republicans could have supported Hadley in much the same spirit as hundreds of thousands of them wiil now sup­port Wilson. Neither Hadley nor Wilson are veterans in the progressive ranks. Neither of them has been tried by the sev­erest tests. Both appear to be men of high ideal?, whose records, through short, give prom­ise.

‘ ‘But Roosevelt would not con­sider Hadley. He would have no one but him self. At the first suggestion of Hadley he ordered the third party maneuvers, lest he lose his followers..

”Ifhe had the evidences to prove that Taft could not as hon­estly and fairly nominated, why did he not direct his lieutenants to present that evidence to the national committee, and to the convention and the country, so clearly tl a u. the com e ition would not have dared to nominate Taft, and that Taft could not, in honor, have accepted the nomination, if made?

“The reason is obvious. An annaysis of the testimohy will,I am convinced, had a majority of honestly or regularly elected delegates. This the managers upon both sides well understood.

Each candidate was,-trying to set a sufficient nu mber of fraud- ulenty credentialed delegates added to those regularly chosen to support him, no secure control of the convention and steam roll the nomination. Il was a proce­eding with which each had san­ctioned in prior convention.“This explains the extraordinary conduct of Roosvelt. He could m t enter upon such an analysis cf the evidence as would prove Taft’s regulaily elected delegates in the minority, without i nevit- ablv subjecting his own spuriou­sly credentialed delegates to an examination so critical as would expose the falsity of his conten­tion that he had an honestly ele­cted majority of the delegates. He therefore deliberately chooses no claim everything to cry fraud to bully the national committee and the convention and having thus created a condition which make impossible a calm in vestig­ation of case upon merit, carry the convention by storm.

“That this is the true pscyho- logy of the Roosevelt proceedings becomes perfectly plain. He was there to force his own nom­ination or smash the convention.

He was not there to preser­ve the integrity of the Republican party and make it an instrument for the promotion of progressive principles, and the restoration of

fish purpose of which Bryan fur-1 competitors getting in each oth- nished such a magnificent exam- ers way while the Grand Old pie one week later in the Democ- Party forges ahead to victory, ratic convention at Baltimore. Mr. James B. Reynolds, the Instead, he filled the public ear executive head, is nd lesfe the with sound and fur,. Heruthle- man in the right place than isssly sacrificed evrything to the one of his being the one candid­ate. He gagged his follwers in the convention without putting on record any facts upon which the public could bask a definite intelligent judgement regarding the validity of Taft's nomination.

He submitted no suggestion as to-a platfcratof progressive pri­nciples. He clamored loudly for purging the convention roll of tainted delegates without purgi­ng his own candidacy of his tai- ntad contest and his tainted trust support. He offered no reason for a third party, excepting his own over-mastering craving a third term.”

T h e T a ft O r g a n iza t io n

Mr. Hilles. His fine abilities in dealing with men and situations were brought out at Chicago and he will prove the very ablest kind of man to get the organiza­tion of the Taft forces .into the smoothest ‘working order. So that with the finely perfected or­ganization with which it will en­ter the campaign and with the support of the business interests the Republican party has little to fear to the outcome. But it will work and it will lyork and it wiit do unremitting work, in fact in the carrying on of the campaign in the hottest contest that has marked national politics for many yeare. , Organization and activity without let up will win the day.

m m I. FOUST Pres. Greensboro Al C

No more perfect party organ­ization has ever been made than that which is being formed about the candidacy of President Taft for re-election by his party. The selection of Mr. Charles D. Hill- es, Mr. Taft’s private secretary, as chairman of the national com mittee insures the services of a man of wide informatton in the field of politics, of cl6se acquaint­ance with the men and the move­ments and one who not only has the qualities of leader and direct­or, but is so close to President Taft as to be the> most inspiring of all men whose names have been proposed. His seketi>n will not represent sectional bal­ance or the superiority of any one state in the general movement for success. Mr. Barnes, of New York, would have made an in­domitably aggressive leader, but his activities in behalf of New York will be no less strenousand successful than if he had been made chairman. The Empire State has been east upon the discard heap by Mr. Bryan and the Democrats will have to con­tent themselves with seeking the nomination for their candidate without New York—a purely fa tuous undertaking. For while Mr. Wilson will not undervalue New York the Democrats of the state have been too deeply and gratuitously affronted to afford him any encouragement to be­lieve they will eat the crumbs that fall from the Bryan table.

Senator Crane, of New Eng­land can be depended upon to take care of the New England end of the Taft campaign and other leaders like Lodge and Root wiil be active in their sections. Numbers of other men of promi­nence in the West will see to it that the Taft organization is in perfect working order. In every part of the United States the nat­ional committee under Mr. Hilles will take the minutest pains to have every part of the political field well tilled and the getting out of the vote on election day brought to perfection. The choosing of orators and the pub­lication of campaign material and the numerous other mea­sures to be adopted to insure suc­cess will be carried out without either delay or vacillation. No other party will be nearly as completely correlated as Jhe Re­publican and nft other party will have the United States so cover­ed at every angle. This cam­paign by the Taft forces is to be distinctly one of fine and com­plete management. It is to be a campaign where the directorship of the. men at the head will be responded to by every voter whose support is catsred to by written or orally pronounced ar­guments.

When the particular conditions call for aggressiveness to the point of bitterness the aggres­sion will be forthcoming. When the conditions call fdr concilia­tory argumentation it will be supplied, when the arrogance of Roosevelt or the assumption of Wilson challenge facts, the facts will be so arrayed and so built up as to make irrefutable. When the lines close in and the fight becomes intense the very pick of the party will be found leading the assault upon the breastworks of the enemy. There will be no defensive work done by the Re­publican party. It will not en­ter into any talking tour with anybody. It will simply go out for votes which the people are

Saving Te n Cents A Week’Why didn’t Kinfc Mid&s, the

gold lover try to save 10 cents a week? says the Chicago,Tribune. He could have given the world a wonderful example of the value of the saving habit Besides, he would have left money for the members of his family alive to­day. Midas was one of the kings of Phrygia, As the Phrygian line was wiped out by the Cim­merians about 670 B. C. We may assume he lived about 80C B. C. or at least 2,721 years ago.

If King Midas had started in saving 10 cents a week he would have saved a dime, therefore, on each of 140,870 weeks. This would have made him the neat little sum of $14*097.20. Al­though no t. ia fortune in these days, $14,097.20 is quite a fair sum to save by giving up one ci­gar a week. But there is more to follow.

In those adys of political up­heaval and commercial uncer­tainty, capital was entitled to a biggerreturn on its investment than it would be today. The risk was much greater. Though we have no actual records of Phrygian rates of usury it is fair to assume that the Midas’ ac­count drew 10 percent interest compounded annually for at least the first 2000 years, or until the commercial world had reached a comparatively recent stage of de­velopment

Beginning, therefore 800 years befo*e Christ, Midas put into his savings 10 cents every week. At the end of the first ten weeks he had a dollar. The Interest on $1.00 for one year is not great, even at 10 per cent, but it adds another dime to the ten already saved. At the end of the second year there is some thing more than two dimes to be added.

At the end of the first 100 years the accumulations on the first dollar, at 10 per cent compound­ed. would be $13,780.66. Thus, Midas, in the year 700 B. C. would have had $18,780.66, re­sulting from his first 10 weeks’ savings. The compounding goes on through the next century so that at the end of 200 vears, or in the year 600 B. C., Midas would have had $189',606,500.04 from his first dollar.

At the end of the next hundred years or in 500 B. C. the results from those first ten dimes put away would bt $2,619,128,149,- 100,63 Continuing this com­pounding through the following 2,411 years it is not a compli­cated mathematical problem to arrive at the sum Midas would have today from his first $1 sav­ed.

Remember, moreover, this sum which would up among the un­countable trillions of dollars, would represent the increment of only .$1 p u t away by Midas. Midas himself, busily saving dimes, wouln have started a new series of dollar pyramids every 10 weeks. At the end of the
