WHAT ROME thinks

AN AMERICAN REMEDY,


Meet His Expectations.
Dr. LApponi, the famous physician to

come so greatly to the frent on account
of his unremitting attention to His
Holiness, the late Pope Leo XIII, and
the high esteem and confidence with
which he is regarded by the present
Rope, His Holiness Plus X, is man OF
commanding genius. He is more than
q mere man Of science he is a man OF
original and independent mind. I'm
trammeled by the "etiquette (" OF the
medical profession and having used DIR.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People in
his practice with good results, he freely
Avows the facts and endorses the value
Of this remedy with an authority which
no one will venture to question.

II certify that I have used DIR.

OF the simple an3mia OF develop

ment, the result came fully up tony
expectations. For that reason l
shall not fail in the future to extend
the use of this laudable preparation

forms OF the category of an@mia OF

Remedy for cuisines. PARALYSIS,

When Mr.. Mckinley was elected Pres
dent in 1896 business was paralyzed. the
revenues of the government were not
equal to its expenditures and the Cleye-
and administration had borrowed large
sums of money to meet current expenses.
Eleven days after his Inauguration Pres
ident Mckinley had Congress in session,
and, pursuant to his recommendation,
it passed the Dingley tariff bill, which
has restored prosperity, equipped am
pie revenues to the government, and, in
the language of President Mckinley. has
given labor in every field the useful oc-
cupation, the liberal wages, and the ade-
quate rewards to which skill and indus
try are entitled"

ALMOST LIKE PROPHECY.
Roosevelt's View as to Qualifications of
the Vice President.

lioIS VI
the Vice President.
Theodore Roosevelt is not a prophet.
nor the son of a prophet, but he looks at
things very straight and sees into them
pretty clearly.
During the presidential campaign of
1896 the editor of the Review of Reviews
asked Mr.. Roosevelt. who was then Pres
ident of the New York Police Board,
to write an article on the Vice Presi-
dency, together with comments on the
three candidates who had been nominate
ed respectively by the Republicans, the
Democrats and the Populists. Following
is an extract from Mr.. Roosevelt's arti-
Gle:
The Vice President should. so far as
possible, represent the same views and
principles which have secured the nomi-
nation and election of the President. and
he should be q man standing we'll in the
councils of the party, trusted by his fei-
low leaders, and able, in the event of any
accident to his chief, to take up the work
of the latter just where it was left"
This was written nearly four wears
before Mr.. Roosevelt was even mentioned
for Vice President, and before his cleo
ton as Governor Of New York. He was
nominated for Vice President against his
own wishes because the Republican party
believed that if elected he would be able.
i'll the event of any accident to Mr.. Nc
Kinley. to take up and carry on the work
of the latter, INT history has proved the
correctness of this view.
Mr.. Roosevelt's first public utterance
after he succeeded to the office of Presi-
lent was a promise to carry on the work
of his lamented chief to the best Of his
ability and strength. How faithfully and
successfully he has done so is shown by
the history he has helped to make. In
the light Of subsequent events what he
wrote in 1896 regarding the qualifications
of d Vice President seems almost like
Drophecy.

Senator Bnilcy's Charge that Roose-
welt Advocates Lynch Law.
Senator Bailey, of Texas, in II speech
made in Brooklyn, August %. and re-
ported in the class of journalism known
rs yellow" and ~disreputable, declared
that the President had been an advocate
of lynch law. The Senator goes further.
and becomes more definite. He refers
to the shooting and lynching of sixty
horse thieves in Montana and then makes
q blunt accusation against the man who
will be again President of the United
States.
Here is a man." said the speaker.
who advocates lynch law as a penalty
for stealing, something unheard Of in my
part of the country. Lynch law is APP
piled there sometimes, but only for one
crime, an u~nspeakable crime"
Here is q man, Senator from Texas.
who BADLY and recklessly makes the
statement from the platform that the
President of the United States advo-
Gates lynching for certain crimes. The
thing is infamous, but SO shallow and
SO false upon its face that it cannot
affect the thought or action OF any Amer
lean citizen. Senator Bailey has be-
come conspicuous in the political affairs,
not merely of the largest State in the
Union. but in the conduct of affairs by
the Senate of the United States. He
has the gift of oratory. he has a GER
tain forcefulncss. but it is most unfor-
tunate that in the makeup of his mem
tai composition he does not recognize the
fact that orators should never tell bald
lies, even in the utmost heat of a politi-
cnl campaign.
The thing is so absurd. so utterly out
of the question that one cannot under
stand why this Texas Senator was so
lacking in tact, sense and Judgment. as
to intimate that Mr.. Roosevelt could
compromise with lynching under any cir
cumstances.
The attitude of the President has all
~aSs been to demand the utmost observ-
ance of all enacted laws. He has shown
ii mt all times. throughout his whole
ca,eer. risking at one time. his political
future. Ivy enforcing in the State OF
New York the laws. which he may not
have himself countenanced. but any
Nlars aod everywhere he has shown him.
