SAYS HUGHES
IS ATTORNEY OF
CORPORAL TONS

New York, Oct 4.-The Independ
ence League, which nominated William
r. Hearst for governor, yesterday re-
ceived his letter accepting the nom
ination. Two things are of special
Importance as issues in this cam
paign, liberty and prosperity" he
said. 1.-The object of the Independ-
ence League is to resist attacks upon
human liberty. upon government OF
the people menaced by corporation
rule, and to resist attacks upon gen
eral prosperity by those same corpor-
ations, and by dishonest financial
agencies Referring especially TO
the republican state ticket he said:
You see a corporation lawyer put
forward as the standard bearer of the
republican party in this campaign. You
see corporation lawyers and violent
partisans of monopolies held up 10
you as the only men fit to select your
judges"

ARE BUT DOING
WORK OF SISYPHUS
DECLARES SENATOR 5EVERiDGE,
DISCUSSING cu8A's CASE.
STONE WILL ROLL BACK
When We Reestablish insulsr Gov
eminent How Long Will 1t Be
Ere Foolish Factions Lay 1t Pros
trate Again?-Cuba Needs Us
More Than We Need Cuba.

Des Moines, Iowa., Oct. 4.-Senator
Albert ]. Beveridge in a speech last
evening declared that events are de-
termining the destiny Of Cuba. We
have already interviewed. But we
did not intervene until every effort
had been exhausted to help the Cub
ans themselves to restore the order
they had shattered and the govern
ment they had imperilled. And now
that we have interviewed we will try
again to make the Cuban government
once more a success.
From Santiago to Havana the cub
an flag still flies visible proof to the
world Of our intention not to raise
the American flag and establish
American government there until the
Cuban people themselves compel us
to do so, until events which are the
commands of God order us 10 do so;
until the cause of civilization and
the cry of despairing liberty force us
to do So For when the American
flag is raised over Cuba again it
never must be lowered continued
the senator. Our record must be as
clear as our intentions are pure. But
speaking for myself alone and for no
one else. | believe that in reestablish-
ing the Cuban government all the
world knows that We are doing the
work of Sisyphus-rolling the stone
to the top Of the hill only to see it
roll back again. When another Cub
an president is elected by Cuban
votes, how long will it be before an
other Cuban instruction Overthrows
him? When we again set another
Cuban government on it's feet, how
long win it be before foolish factions
will again lay it PROSTATE? When we
have steadied the falling Cuban flag
by the arms of American soldiers AMI
sailors, and then have again with
drawn the American power that
saved II, how long will it be until
once more anarchy will make it the
vain emblem of a powerless govern
ment? In the end destiny will have
her way We may lay down the task
civilization bids us do, but tomorrow
the task will reappear and the in
evitabIc will command us to our de
ferred duty But We must not act in
| haste"
Hereafter. added the speaker
when the American flag is raised ii
must never be hauled down. That
flag was never raised but in honor
was never hauled down but in mis-
take and disgrace 1t was a mistake
when we hauled it down in Cuba. II
| was a disgrace when we hauled il
down in Hawaii; and now let the
circumstances be such that whenever
it is raised hereafter, it viii be an n
fanny if ever after that flag is lowered
| again

PEACE IN HER RANKS.
Temperance Unions of Iowa Make up
Old Quarrel.

Des Moines, Iowa, Oct. 4-By mutu-
al agreement of the separate conven-
lions held in this city yesterday, the
two branches Of the w. c. T. u, one
known as the w c. T. U. of Iowa
and the other as the W. C. T. U. of
the state of Iowa, were consolidated
into one body They were divided
16 years ago by dispute over the
question Of utilization or non-affiliation
with the prohibition party. The arti-
Gle of the constitution. in which union
is reached, provides that the organi-
cation shall in the future give its en-.
dorsement only TO men and measures
and not to parties. The convention
in its pledge Of total abstinence cites
beer as an intoxicating beverage. Res
olutions commencing the conviction
of child murderers were enthusiastic

E. Magoon provisional governor 0.
Cuba. Governor Winthrop will re-
main in Porto Rico 1t was stated
late yesterday that the president had,
early in the day, decided not to send
Magoon to Cuba because of advices in
hand from Taft intimating that ar
engagements for Governor Winthrop
assuming the duties of provisional
governor had some too far to be
changed conveniently. A later dis
patch from the secretary, however
indicated that he was willing that the
governor should remain in Porto Rico.
The president, who has all along been
anxious to have Magoon &C to Cuba,
acted promptly on the secretary's dis
patch and Immediately announced the
appointment of Magoon This decis-
| ion he feels leaves Winthrop to fin
ish the important work which he has
in hand in Porto Rico and will delay
but few months Magoon's departure
for the Philippines.
Judge M2goon late yesterday was
informed that Taft wanted him to
come to Havana at the earliest mo-
ment and he will leave here Satur-
day, probably reaching Havana Tues
day. General Bell, who has been
ordered to Cuba, will accompany Ma

from an inside source that the Unit

relations with Cuba, by which they
will engage in mutual free trade
shutting out the remainder of the
world.

Making Advertising
Pay for Itself
The initial Investment in advertising can, most cases,
be small after the star, there "expense" to adv,tzs-
ing: Because good advertising pays for ITSELF

Tz7HERE do the tremendous
w advertising appropriations
come from, Mr.. Business Man9
Certainly NOT out of capital.
No, they are made up by reducing the
cost of selling, by eliminating conces-
sions and extra discounts to the trade,
by maintaining prices on a frmer-or
even higher basis.
Because by advertising you create de-
riand from the consumer for your goods.
It's easier to sell goods for which there
is consumer demand-hence less
expensive.
Jobbers and Retailers MUST sell goods
for which there is consumer demand
hence no need for concessions or extra
discounts to the trade.
When Jobbers and Retailers MUST
sell your goods, they buy at your price,
and you can make it, and keep it,
safely profitable price.
But you must get what you pay for
consumer demand.
We want to show you what we do to
assure successful results from adver-
Using.
We want to show you how we put the
Western Spirit of Aggressiveness
backed by Facts, Initiative and Push
Into every advertising proposition that
we handle.
