William Mckinley took Office in
1897 and owing to the dreadful
plight Of our country immediately
'cllled Congress in extra session TO
find a remedy. The remedy was
found in the return to the sound
American doctrine Of protection.
From that day to this our country
has gone ahead by leaps and
bounds. Everybody works who
wants work and instead of labor
ers hunting jobs the jobs hunt the
labOrer and then does not always
find him. The value of three
great staple crops-Corn, wheat
and oats in 1896 amounted to S934,-
900, 900 and last year it aggregated
SI,9G2, 900, COO or more than double

Four things enter into the max.
ing of a good roofing:
The felt; the Sdturdtion: the
COdting:and the method of laying.
Paroid excels on all four points.
The felt is the foundation. If it
is not right to start with, no treat
ment of any kind can make it into
good roofing.
We knotc that our felt is right
because we make it in our own
mills established in 1917
We make it because we cannot
buy a felt elsewhere good enough
for Paroid.
Other manufacturers who buy
their felt in the open market
wherever they can get it cheapest
necessarily take big chances at
the very start.
We couldn't give you the money
back guaranty we do if we did
not make the complete roofing
under our direct supervision.
farOld roofing IS not merely
dipped in a solution, but is soaked
IN q water prOOfing mixture of
our own, which renders every
fibre ofit--through and through
absolutely water proof.
And then the coating. Paroid
is coated on both sides with a
smoother, thicker, tougher and
more terrible coating than is on
any other roofing made.
There is no room for doubt
about it. You need not take our
word for it. Use your own judg-
ment. Compare Paroid with other
kinds. You will find that PlrOid

Tho injustice lies IN this: There is no
objection on the part Of either Indian
Territory or oklahoma to the proposed
joining Of these two Territories and their
admission into the Union as the State of
Oklahoma. But there is an intense and
overwhelming objection ia Arizona to
being drawn into the Union through

general is this opposition that the people
of Arizona prefer TO defer Statehood rather
than accept it on the terms of marriage
with New Mexico, Therefore. it win be
no injustice to keep out Arizona and New
Mexico as one State. but it will be "a gross
outrage to bar the door against the pro-
posed State Of oklahoma whose people

and who possess the qualifications OF

Thus, the House OF Representatives

Judge Parker,s vlnaIeatIen.

Nindication, as a rule, is mighty poor
consolation TO a defeated candidate for
public office, but there is no doubt that
Alton b Parker the Democratic candi-
date for President Of the United States
at the election of 1904. viii derive a con-
siderable amount of satisfaction from the
vindication that is now coming his way.
In the course of his few speeches during
the Presidential campaign, Judge Parker
declared that existing laws furnished
adequate provision for controlling large
corporations and furnishing any attempts
on their part to uniustiy impose upon the
public. For this contention he was sub
iected to much severe criticism, and was
even laughed at as an ignorant lawyer
who did not know what he was talking
about Last week the Supreme Court OF
the United States, in two very important
decisions. fully sustained Judge Parker
contention
Judge Parker, in a public letter, also
charged that the great corporations of the
country were making large contributions
OF money or rather, were being Gevied
upon for them-to the campaign funds
of the Republican National Committee,
for the purpose of aiding in President
Rooseyelt's election. This assertion
aroused the ire of the President to the
extent of a published reply in which he
practically called Judge Parker a liar
and denied the imputation most indig-
nantly The people now know how com
pleioly the recent insurance investigation
in New York City sustained Judge Parker
charge Of corporation money being use,
in the interest Of President Roosevelt 3
election.
And so it is that Judge Parker ha
reason for feeling in a very satisfactorl
frame OF mind OF course he would b.
much better pleased with the Presidency
but he has the satisfaction of knowing
that his campaign contentious have beef
justified, and that in respect of one O
thom at least, the President of the Unite,
States has long owed him an apology.
