Shaw Preparing TO Fight
Interesting stories are coming to Wash

alleged attitude Of Leslie Mortimer Shaw.
erstwhiie Secretary Of the Treasury and
now president Of the new Carnegie Trust
Company. toward the occupant Of the
White House, who brought him TO the
Cabinet and retained him there for a
trile over five years Reports have Il
that Afr. Shaw has joined the ranks OF
the Roosevelt opposition, and IS one OF
the most Outspoken critics OF the Presi-
dents achievements and policies. In a
speech delivered Tuesday night al the
banquet Of the South Carolina Society
the former Secretary of the Treasury
employed expressions which seem 10 give
credeHce 10 the rumors. This situation
may probably lead 70 revelations Of past
Cabinet conditions that viii afford inter-
esting reading. Ii is now stated that
more than a year ago Mr.. Shaw had
made UP his mind TO quit the Cabinet
and publicly proclaim as his reason for so
doing that he was not permitted TO exer-
else his best judgment in dealing with
certain threatening money stringencies
IN Wall street Furthermore, e is said
that he rushed TO the White House late
one afternoon, and, while anger was hot
upon him, expressed his mind with great
vigor 10 the President, informing the
Chief Magistrate of his desire to be re-
Iieved at once of the Treasury portfolio.
The President controlled his temper. lis
tened patiently to the plant OF his Cabi-
net officer, and then coolly replied that
he had counted upon Mr.. Shaw remain
ing at the head Of the Treasury for fully
another year; that II his resignation
should be offered it would not be ac-
cepted. but that at the end Of the time
specified by the President he would be
expected TO retire so that Mr.. Cortelyou
might take charge of the Treasury The
next day formal announcement was made
to the country that Mr. Shaw would re-
main in the Cabinet only a year longer.

a Taft Trust-buster.

For more than a year one Of the Taft
brothers-HenTy W. the New York law
yer-was employed by the government as
a trust-buster. and he may be yet en-
gagged in that work Soon after the cam
paign Of 1904 the Department Of Justice
undertook an investigation Of the tobac-
co trust. and the Secretary Of Wars
brother was employed by the then At
torney General. Mr.. Moody. now Asso-
elate Justice OF the Supreme Court 10
have general supervision Of the work. He
directed the Investigation from his offices
In New York. and his agents collected a
vast amount Of material upon which the
department Is understood to have based
quite number Of suits. only one Of
which has as yet been tried in the court
Of first instance. Mr. Taft personally
conducted the prosecution Of this suit.
and. as it Is said. others are stu con
templated, It Is presumed that when they
are brought before the courts he will
again appear for the government as chief
counsel. His work, while not as yet de-
cisive. is highly regarded by the President
and the attorneys connected with the De-
partment Of Justice.
It Is suggested that it is these pro-
posed suits. instead Of his brothers Presi-

make him an especially welcome visitor

the tobacco trust is not popular.

Great Parade Leader.


There died at Chicago a few days ago
the greatest parade organizer and leader
IN the United States-Gen. Joseph Stock
ton A hero OF the civil war. Gen. Stock
ton won his greatest renoWn as the grand
marshal Of every notable parade in Chi
cago for the past forty years. No big pa
rade was ever pulled OF" IN Chicago
without his assistance as the guiding
spirit and leader. His first great feat in
this peculiar line Of public work was as
the organizer Of the Chicago parades in
honor Of the completion OF the Pacific
Railroad in 1853. The next gread parade
he organized and led was that IN honor of
Gen. Grants visit after the completion OF
his tour around the world In 1873. An
other big parade for which he was respon-
sible was in 1881. on the day that Presi-
Gent Garfield was buried. Probably the
greatest procession he ever headed was
the grand pageant in Chicago celebrating
the opening of the Worlds Columbian
Exposition. Gen. Miles was nOminaliy the
head Of IL. but Gen. Stockton did the real
work. The sOund-money procession in
Chicago at the erisis@of the campaign Of
1886 was the biggest one he ever organ
lied. More than $4,000 persons were in
line, and il took the pageant nearly five
hours 10 pass given point.

II ever there was a reliable and sa fe
remedy it is that old and famous porous
plaster-Allcock's 1t has been in use for
sixty years, and is as popular to-day as
ever, and we doubt if there is a civilized

care is taken to keep each plaster up to

AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEMA.

CoycreI with Yellow SOres-Grew

Week Cuticura Drove Sores Away.
"Our little girl, one year and hair
old, was taken with eczema or that
was what the doctor called 1t. We
called in the family doctor, and he gave
some tablets and said she would be all
right in a few days. The eczema grew
worse and we called in doctor No. 2.
He said she was teething, as soon as
the teeth were through she would be
all right. But she still grew worse.
Doctor No. 3 said it was eczema. By
this time she was nothing but a yellow,
greenish sore. Well, he said he could
help her, so we let him try 1t about
a week. One morning we discovered
a little yellow pimple on one OF her
eyes OF course we 'phoned for doctor
No 3. He came over and looked ner
over, and said that he could not do
anything more for her, that we had
better take her to some eye specialist,
since 1t was an ulcer. So we went to
Oswego to doctor No. 4, and be said
the eyesight was gone, but that he
could help it. We thought we would
try doctor No. 5. Well, that proved the
same, only he charged $40 more than
doctor No. 4. We were nearly dis
couraged. i saw one of the Cuticura
advertisements in the paper and
thought we would try the Cuticura
Treatment, so / went and purchased
"a set Of Cuticura Remedies, which cost
me 81, and in three days our daughter.
who had been sick about eight months,
showed great improvement, and in one
week all sores had disappeared. OF
course it could not restore the eye
sight, but IL we had used Cuticura in
time am confident that it would have
saved the eye. We think there Is no
remedy SO good for any skin trouble or
limpurity of the blood as Cuticura. Mr..
