OPINION
The Republicans and 1908.

The Republicans and 1908.
From the Washington Star
The friends OF Mr. Fairbanks dis
courage talk about nominating him for
Vice-President on the score that he has
something better ahead. They have in
mind 1908, land seem confident that he
VIII be very strong in the race that
year for first place II he makes no mis-
take meanwhile and keeps i'm line for
the honor. Their fear is that election
TO the Nice-Presdency this year might
force him out of line, and, indeed,
shelve him for good. He is compara-
lively young man and "A strong one,
confeHsedly ambitious rich, well situ-
ated geographically, and his friends
are justified in making careful call
culauons about his future. He is said
TO share their views fully as to the situ-
alton, and to prefer holding on TO his
seat In the Senate for the present.
I'm the case Of Mr.. Cannon we hear
something OF this same kind. The face
that the Speaker viii be - IN 19OS--an
age which, as a rule, bars men from
consideration as Presidential quant-
ties-is dismissed as OF small moment.
And maybe with some reason. He is a
young man for his years, suggesting I'm
his appearance and energy 60 rather
than SO, and as he has grown steadily
from his entrance into politics his
friends expect him to continue to grow
TO the end Of the chapter. He certain
ly Is very popular man today and
there are predictions that he will close
his career in the White House.
In all this talk 1t is to be noticed that
thing for this same kind. The fact that
nomination in 1908 is going to be
worth having Evidently they feel not
only that Mr.. Roosevelt is to win this
year, but that he win leave his party
I'm good trim for the next battle. They
seem to have no fear OF his running
amuck during four years of power in
trusted TO him by the people. Their ex-
pectatiOn is that, surrounded by as
safe men as now surround him-and by
some Of the same-and keeping his
own head as level as he has kept it
since October, 1901, he VIII continue TO
give the country good administra-
tion and earn the plaudits of the people.

nation IN 1903 very attractive.

CLEVER DOCTOR
Cured 20 Years Trouble Without Any
Medicine.

A wise Indiana physician cured 20
years stomach disease without any
medicine as his patient tells;
Il had stomach trouble for 20 years
tried allopathic medicines, patent
medicines, and all the simple remedies
suggested by my friends but grew
worse all the time.
FINALLY a doctor who is the most
prominent physician in this part OF
the state told me medicine would do
me no good only irritating my stomach
and making it worse-that I must look
TO diet and quit drinking coffee.
Il cried out i'm alarm. Quit drinking
Conee' why, What win l drink?'
Try Postum, said the doctor. I
drink it and you will like it when it is
made according to directions with
cream, for it is delicious and has none
of the bad effects coffee has
We'll that was two years ago and I
am still drinking Postum. MY stomach

the nail on the head when he decided

Human Forms Strewn For Long Dis.
tanees From Scene Of Disaster.


Findlay, O., May 23.-As a result Of
an explosion in the two drying rooms
of the Lake Shore Novelty company's
plant here seven persons are known to
be dead, five are so seriously hurt that
recovery is believed to be impossible,
and twelve or fifteen are injured badly.
From reports of the physicians ten
Of the less seriously injured may die
as a result of blood poisoning from the
potash that was driven into their bod
les. The dead are: Joseph Sherwood,
twenty-one; Jay Sherwood, twenty
four; Edith Dillon, seventeen; Dean
Shaw, eighteen; Mary Snyder, twenty
two; Estella Decker, fifteen; Frank
Grant, twenty-one.
The residents Of Findlay were star
tied by two explosions that shattered
windows throughout the city. The
conclusion was felt for miles around
Two magazines in separate rooms al
the works exploded simultaneously
with terrible reports. The exact cause
is not definitely known. 1t is surmised
that one of the Sherwood brothers
who were the only persons in the dry
ing rooms, dropped large box Of tor
pedoes, but this theory cannot be con
firmed.
The explosion occurred just before
the employees assembled for duty. Al
least twenty persons were on theil
way to the factory at the time.
Bodies Scattered Far and Wide.
Human forms were strewQ for Ions
distances apart on the factory site
The bodies of the Sherwood brother.
were found in drying room No. 1 man
gled and almost unrecognizable. Theil
clothing was blown from their bodie,
save a stocking on the right foot Of
Jay Sherwood.
The body Of Edith Dillon was picked
up 200 yards from where the explosion
occurred.
The news Of the disaster spread lilS,
wildhre throughout the county. Every
train and interurban car that has ar
rived in the city for the last ten hours
was crowded. The large plant is shat
tered into fragments, not one single
wall remaining Bricks and timber
can be found for a half mile around.
The Lake Shore Novelty works plan
covered nearly ten acres Of ground il

ployed nearly POO men, women an,

criticism Of Street Paving.

To the Editor of The Evening Journal
sir. After watching with interest the
work which IS being done on the new
style OF pavement which is being laid
by the Street and Sewer Department
on Thirteenth street between King and
Market. 1 can but cnl the attention of
the taxpayers to what viii be the most
expensive piece of street paying we
have in this city
The surface outside the car tracks is
very limited yet as many as twenty
four men work on Il for days at a
time ! am told that it Is an expert
ment only. but why experiment on the
most costly style Of paving that can
be found2 lt could never be adopted
in this city as the pavement to put
down ON the miles Of unimproved
streets which are demanding attention
because to do that would bankrupt the
city
II the board wanted to give a new
pavement a fair test, not only as to
cost. but as TO its wearing capacity
they should have taken a square which
is constantly used by teams of all
kinds, streets which get ten times more
use than Thirteenth street. then they
tDulQ nave Adhti the next SQUARE anu
put down another style Of pavement
and had fair test.
What we want in Wilmington is the
cheapest good pavement which can be
had. This, 1 am told, is the most
costly good pavement which can be
laid. Why fool with IL? We have
found brick pavements to be fairly
good. why not continue them?
