SEEKING LIGHT IN REGARD
TO STRANGE DISAPPEARANCE

Chain circular letters have been re-
ceived in this city from Evanston par
ties, having been sent out with the
object of finding or securing infor-
nation concerning Miss Florence A.
Ely and her nephew, Frank Ely Rog-
gers. who disappeared from their
homes in that city SO mysteriously
last July. Miss Ely IS 40 years of age
and described as feet inches in
height and less than 100 pounds in
weight. She has dark and intensely
expressive eyes and rather long
face. He has brown hair and BLUSH
gray eyes. a distinguishing charac-
teristic being his ability TO write with
either right or left hand. The aunt
had been entrusted TO Il large extent
with the care Of the youth and when
the father insisted upon sending him
away to a military academy she OBJ
iected. The father insisted. but be-
fore the time came for him to go the
disappearance of the couple took
place. The closest search has abso-
lutelv failed 10 reveal the where
aboutS of either of them since and a
large reward is offered for any in
formation leading to their discovery.

The present seems to be a most op-
Fortune moment for The United
States senate to accommodate Sena-
tors Tillman and McLaurin. who were
not long since so anxious to resign
their seats. The participants in Sat

should he fired out and then told to
fire at each other TO their hearts
content. The people have become
weary of their woes and bitterness
toward each other. and should be
burdened no longer with them. They
act like rattle-headed boys instead
of self-pOssessed men.

When President Roosevelt Lost His
Courage.

The press and the people of the
United States are cOldly ignoring the
presidents suggestion that the
Schlcy unhappy controversy he
dropped now. and are giving Roose-
welt a severe chastisement for his
lack of nerve and good judgment in
cOndemning Schley. President Rouse-
welt has heaped more Goals upon the
fire. Schley's friends are rallying To
the Iatter's standard once more and
Roosevelt has lost much of his sup
port. Those who have been most en-
thusiastic in pointing To Roosevelt "a
one who never feared To face an is
sue. are loudest now in their denun-
citation of him for turning his back
upon facts in this Schley case with
such apparent timidity. The leading
republican papers of the state of Illi-
nois lament this awkward attempt of
Roosevelt To serve both God and Mann
mon. Many of the papers of the
state are silent. So steadfastly have
they lauded Roosevelt for his strenu-
Gus disposition and fearless pen that
they are stunned by this display of
weakness on ihe part OF theic rough
riding terror. They depIore RoOse

ity 30 commend him for his anti
Schley decision. The tone of com
ment of those who do sustain him for
what he has done manifestly shows
that they do not mean what they say.
The following extracts from two we'll
known republican papers show what
the truths of Eoosevelt's decision
are:
Chicago Tribune: The opinion of
President Roosevelt in the Schley
case is manifestly an effort to satisfy
both sides, with the result that he will
satisfy neither. He distributes praise
and blame with an impartial hand.
Certain of the parties to the contro-
versy will think the praise was UNI
earned. while others will look upon
the blame as undeserved.
Not attaching too much Importance
TO the finely spun arguments of the
president. his conclusions are gener-
ally adverse to Admiral SchIey at
every point. While the president trav-
els outside of the record and censures
the court of inquiry for not condemn
ing Schley where it failed to condemn
him, he also disapproves of the find
ing of the court i'm condemning him
where il did condemn him. The pres
ident censures Admiral Schley even
more pointedly than the court of in
quiry did. because he implies although
he does not say ii in 50 many words.
that the outward turn or loop was
inspired by timidity. The presidents
opinion is an imputation upon the
courage of Schley. 1t partly justifies
Maclay's statement that Schley turn
ed i'm caitiff flight" If the president
believes that Schley was overcome
by timidity ut the moment of the
loop. why was Maclay dismissed from
the navy2 The court of inquiry found
that Schley was "Self-possessed" dur
ing the battle and by his example
encouraged his officers and men to
courageous conduct. The president
finds that lac was not "Self-possessed"
at the moment of the loop.
The president IL a bit too'Sangrin"
in commanding peace on this queS-
ton. II is not the power of the pres
ident of the United States to say Il"

American people will not accept the
authority even of so exalted per-
Sonage a. the president of the Unit
ed States on a question of this kind.
No authority i final except that
which proceeds from the judgment OF
the pepOle themselves in their coliec-

A Measure, at Least. of Justice.

Gov. Taft'S suggestion that the tar
iff rates on imports from the Philip
pines be reduced - per cent may give
the American grab-it-all crowd cold
shivers; yet the advantage and jus
rice Of the course proposed are be-
yOnd dispute. Manila hemp is pro-
duct peculiar to the Philippine isl
ands. and can be grown nowhere else.
And Philippine cigars and tobacco
are so handicapped by transportation
and first cost SO high as to make a
protective tax at the existing rate
more than prohibitory. One cOnsid-
Grafton which has its influence over
everything * that such "a reduction
would be an evidence of the friend
ship of the United States for the Fill
pinOs. and might possibly bring about
the pacification of the islands.
As a mere matter of business the
proposal commends itself; the reduc-
ton of duties would not injuriousIy
affect Il single American industry.

peace would enable the United States
government to cut down its war bud

LUNG DANGERS


Lung dangers, such as pneu--

va1ent because the weather just

which produce such diseases to
spring into existence. If you are
careful-keep the health up to the
right pitch by taking Liquozone,
you will escape these sometimes
fatal sicknesses. Liquozone pos
sesses the same action as oxy-
gen in condensed form-it supplies
the blood with nourishment and
vitality-is blood food, i'll fact
just what the system requires 1t
is much easier to prevent these all
ments than to cure them. You can
prevent or destroy these disease
germs by using this natural germi-
eide. Why not take precaution now
