OverfAan Aud The Len der.

Not-many days ago q Wash
ington correspondence NoIth-
ern paper printed under big head
lines a story to the effect t h q t
President Roosevelt had express
ed the hope that Senator Over
man would be chosen as t h g
Democratic leader OF the Senate
and that the endorsement by the
President would probablp help
Mr.. Overman in his candidacy
for leadership. The correspon-
dent evidently got the informa-
tion from q sensation-maker.
This paper didnotprint the story
or pay any attention to it, but a
number of papers printed in the
theory that there was basis for
it. Others made it the occasion
to urge the selection of Overman
for leader: Others made it t h e
occasion to declare that if Roose
velt favored Overman that such
endorsement would do him no
good. 1t was then-and only
then-that Mr.. Pence showed
that there was no realfoundation
for any. part OF the story. The
| Washington Times in it's Sun
days issue publishes the follow
ing accurate and fair statement
which should close the incident:
Senator Overman's friends in
Washington say that he is in no
sense a candidate for chairman
of the Senate Democratic caucus,
which carries with it the party
floor leadership. The report has
gained wide circulation that the
North Carolinian is an applicant
for this difficult and thankness
position, and that he is Presi-
dent Roosevelt's choice. In this
is Involved the implication that
Mr.. Overman is a "White House
Senator" as are those Democrat
ic Senators called who support
administration measures. Their
number are few, and the North
Carolinian has not been classed
with them. On the contrary, there
is no stouter partison on t h e
Democratic side OF the Senate.
He has not employed invective
in criticising the President, as
have some of his Democratic col
leagues, neither has he been full
some in praise OF the Executive,
either in private orpublic. At the
same time he maintained cordial
relation at the White House, and
goes there freely whenever h s
duties direct his footsteps in
that direction. Although Mr..
Overman has served only four
years in the senate, he has ac-
quired an influence in that body
that tanks him among the lead
ers, but his friends say that even
should any of his colleagues ask
him to enter the race for Arthur
P. Germans shoes he would de-
cline to do SO. News and Obser

"Dld He Earn Iti'

In these days, when men a r e
singing the praises OF the gener-
Gus Carnegie, it is a novel expert
ence to find san Interrogation
mark in the chorur OF approval
which marks the donations OF
the millionaire. Yet the question
was raised by Mr.. Carnegie him.
self when he said:
1T is all a dream to me, and |
cannot come to realize that /
have had anything to do with it
at all. And what have / done
really? My banker tells me that l
have so many bonds; | never ev-
'en saw them. Did | earn them?
Well, | started the machinery 60
ing and they came to me-"
An exchange declares that the
wealthy Scot did not earn h s
vast fortune. And, taking Mr..
Carnegie at his word, he did not
acquire his millions by the sweat
of his brow. But he laid the foun-
datiOn of his vast fortune when
he made the pennies take care
of the pounds. After that a kind
government helped him to pile up
the money which he now gives a.
way 80 literally. uttheexchange
referred to puts another light on
the millionair's wealth when it
says
"No small part Of Mr.. Carne-
gie's fortune consists of money
taken directly from the people OF
/ the United States, for which no
equivalent whatever was return
ed. In a word, he was clothed with
the power and authority to levy
taxes on the people for his own
benefit. He used the power and
the result is that he to-day has
bonds which he "never saw" and
which he himself is not certain
that he earned. This OF course, is
an old story, but it is interest
ing. 1t is especially interesting in
that it was called to mind by
Mr., Carnegie's extraordinary per
tinent question. 1t is vastly to
his credit that he has out grown
the views, which he, no doubt,
once held, and has come to un-
derstand that he is under obliga-
tions to the public-obligations
|
that are particularly binding in
the case OF such a man as he. In.
deed he talks very much of wealth
as the haters of "plutocrats" do.
Dollars" he says, "are o n | y
dross until spiritualized, "a means
to an end, and miserable is the
man, mean and squalled his life,
who knows no better than to
|'deaden his soul by mere posses
sion, counting over the hoard
which holds him down or using
his faculties in old age in aug
menting the useless stuff which
ministers not to any taste wor-
thy of man,"
II the United States govern
ment aided Mr.. Carnegie in a.
massing his fortune, it undoubt-
edly assisted every millionaire in
the country. Butcarnegie is bet
ter in one respect than his fellow
capitalists; he is endeayoring to
get rid of his wealth in a way
which shonld atone for any ruth
lessness in obtaining it.-Ashe-

settled down to a steady trot and

DEATH OF MARTIN WlTZLER.

On Saturday evening. Sept. z, 1907,
Martin Witzler passed away at the
home of his wife's parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. George Kemp, after long i'll
ness with consumption.
Mr.. Witzler was a son of Mrs. Mary
Witzler and was born in Perrysburg,
Dec. 6, 1865.
Eight years ago his health failed
and he went to Pueblo, Col, where he
remained several months, regaining
much of his lost strength. He re-
turned and again resumed his en-
ployment with the Dow & Smell Co. of
Toledo.
On April 8, 1901, he was united in
marriage with Miss Grace Kemp of
this place. They went about three
years ago and resided in Pueblo, hop
Ing to build up his failing health, but
without avail, and they returned to
Perrysburg a short time ago, since
which time he has been confined to
his bed.
During his long period of intense
suffering his heart went out In earn
est prayer to his Saviour. The Bible
was sweet to him and he sought to
make his peace with God. He left
this comforting testimony for those
who mourn-"That he was ready to
die" He bore his great sufferings
with patience and Christian forti-
tude. He was reconciled and resigned
In all of his affliction. He will be
missed but not forgotten. He has
won for himself a host of friends
who will cherish his memory
He leaves besides his wife, his.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

BY local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There Is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachion tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when 1t is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fiammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.

tion, and 1t is proposed that the Grand
Army of the Republic join hands
with the National Educational Associa

work. At present our national songs,
such for instance. as 1.-The Star

Gus forms, both as to words and music,
IN accordance with the theory or whim
of each publisher, and the difficulties

Should the tariff be revised, and if
so, when? Probably there is on ques-
tion so hOtly debated, nor ON which
there is greater difference in the Re-
publican party than this, and in
the opinion of some of the ablest of
the party leaders, the one proposition
of which the opposition may be able to
make some party capital. That the
tariff schedules should not be touched
by the approaching Congress is very
generally conceded, and the reasons
advanced for postponement of the I'M
portant work are all sufficient. We're
the coming Congress to make any
changes from the Dingley schedules.
its action would be distorted and mis-
represented by the Democratic press
and by Democratic stump speakers,
and before the people would have had
time to learn the falsity or fallacy of
such charges and arguments they
would be called upon to express at the
polls their views in national cleo
tion. Men who have been told that
their business would be seriously in
jured, if not ruined, would fear the
worst and probably vote against the
men whom they held responsible, only
to learn too late that they had been
misled and deceived.
