TarOena
THE GREAT HAWAIIAN
Infant and Health Food

Because it is one Of the best prepared
foods ever offered. Taroena agrees
with the weakest stomach: It often is
the only food retained by a weak
stomach.
For infants there is nothing to equal
Taroena. Hundreds of children right
in this city have been raised on it. It
makes puny children strong, robust,
healthy. Unlike artificially prepared
foods, causing a one-sided develop
ment, Taroena develops the whole body
bones, blood, brain and nerves. It is
a safe food and will not cause bowel or
stomach troubles like other foods. If
your baby is not thriving try Taroena.

A Real Reformer.

Governor la Toilette is a man who is
not afraid 10 advocate reforms while in
office His attitude upon State ques-
tions in the last campaign caused what
for a time threatened TO seriously dis
rupt the Republican psrty in the State,
and his fight upon senator Spooner at
one stage threatened to DO damage 10
both himself and the Senator.
Both were, however, reelected. La

CT to the Senate. while ago il was
reported that they had effected a re-
Cancellation of their differences through
the kindly Offices OF Postmaster Cen
eral Payne. and that they had agreed to
dwell together in peace. as It is well
that Republican brethren should 50.
The understanding was that the terms
of the agreement were that La Toilette
was to cease his warfare upon spooner
ard that the latter and the State or
ganizatiou were 10 support the governor
for the Vice Presidential nomination at
the coming national convention. Since
that report was circulated there has at
least been the semblance OF harmony
between the La Toilette and Spooner fac
tions in Wisconsin, and the statement
that the governor is an aspirant for
the nomination Is not denied. La Fol-
lette IS a man OF many remarkable quail
ties and a successful vote getter.

may be improved thereby. IL Mr. Roose-

ton would indicate that his partner on
the ticket should be a Western man.

dates available. il is doubtful II there
could be a man found who would be
stronger than either Governor Van SAINT

Want to Be Vice President.


The governors OF at least two inauen-
tial Northwestern States may be prop
erly considered as candidates for the
Vice Presidential nomination by the
next Republican national convention.
They are the Hon. Samuel R Van SAINT.
OF Minnesota, and the Hon Robert NJ.
La Toilette. OF Wisconsin. both strong
supporters OF the Administration. loyal
friends Of Mr.. Roosevelt. and advocates
of his nomination for the Presidency.
Each has qualities which should
strongly recommend him as running
mate for the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt
should he be chosen as the standard
bearer Of his party in the next national
contest. Each was elected for a second
term as governor of his State last fall.
and both hold views in harmony with
those OF the President upon majority
of the leading questions of the day. and
questions which will undoubtedly be dis
cussed in the coming contest.
Governor Van SAINTS attitude in re-
gard to the Northern merger case and
his fight against that railroad monopoly

Heroine of Many Romances.

Heroine of Many Romances.
Anastasia, widowed Grand Duchess OF
Mecklenburg- Schwerin, mother OF the
actual ruler OF the grand duchy. is still
a wonderfully attractive and fascinating
woman and has been the heroine OF
many romances as well as OF several
episodes which may be described by a
less euphonious name. To what extent
the stories told of her in the various
court circles OF Continental Europe are
true. II is difficult to say. For during
the lifetime OF her husband she con-
tributed in no small measure 10 en-
bitter the latter against Emperor VIII
liam and against the Prussian govern
ment and to convert schwerin into The
headquarters of Muscovite agitation and

Berlin. where all sorts OF calumnies
were started concerning her. Thus at
the time OF the death OF her husband.

The Filtration Plant.
A Tangle Unrayeled Successfully by
Secretary Root.

Secretary Root has unraveled the
filtration plant tangle with expedition
and judgment. His decision to reject
all outstanding bids and order a new
competition seems the fairest possible
solution of puzzling problem.
We should have been pleased to see
the recommendation of the Chief of
Engineers accepted and the work of
installing the filtration plant appor-
toned pieremeal among the local con
tractors who stood ready TO undertake
IT. According to General Gillespie's
calculations the Government. by re-
jecting all lump sum proposals and
dividing the construction among piece
bidders, could not only have made an
immediate start on the work, but
would have saved in the end about
$4,000.
But certain considerations of
equity and fair dealing initiated
against so brusque and summary a
program The bids made under the
terms of the first and second public
competitions were. il is true, invali-
dated by the fact that they one and
all exceeded the limit of cost original
~ fixed by Congress. Write the sec
ond set Of proposals remained un-
acted upon, Congress increased that
limit, and the makers Of the lowest
unrejected offer in the second COM
petition, as wei as the lowest bidders
III the first contest, have been contend
ing with some show of reasonableneSs.
either that their proposals should be
considered still in binding force or
that they should have an opportunity
of renewing them under new limit Of
cost conditions.
Secretary Root makes it clear that
the Government cannot now be held
10 offers invalid under the old limit
of cost. But he rightly argues that
as Congress intended 10 submit the
filtration plant work to competition, a
chance should be given now not alone
10 the unsuccessful bidders Of Janu-
airy and February, but TO any new
corners who may not have cared to Of
fer estimates under the original cost
limit The Government, however. re
tsins, as before, discretion to reject
all bids ard to have The work done

Expedition is the Districts chief

the installation of the new system will
not be seriously delayed, vet after set
