OFFICIAL PAPER OF COUNTY
Strange Advisors.

Chanute, Kansas reader OF The Com
moner writes: II write you to request
that you print in The Commoner brief
summary of President Roosevelt's
cabinet appointments, commenting on
each as to his his former business atfii-I
iations and environment. My memory
is not very good, but my recollection is
that practically all his cabinet appoint
ees, including the present cabinet, es-
pecially those who have directly to do
with the enforcement OF law against
trusts, railroads, ETC., are men who
have been for years previous to their
engaged in and upon the pay roll OF
trusts, railroads, etc, and that the
same is very largely true of his ap-
pointees for district attorneys and
judges. If he is sincere in his desire to
compel trusts, railroads, ETC., to treat
the people fairly as he seems to be upon
the surface, and as many people believe
him to be, he should cease appointing
that class of men to Office.
Mr.. Roosevelt has not been particu-
larly fortunate, so far as an anti-mo-
nopoly program is concerned, in the
selection Of his official advisers. 1t will
be remembered that Senator Culberson
of Texas objected to Mr.. Bonaparte's
confirmation as attorney general be-
cause of a speech delivered several
years ago at Chicago, wherein he plain
ly showed that he had no prejudices
against the trust system. Elihu Root,
secretary of state, was for years one
of the most successful of the great cor
poration lawyers, and is believed to
stand very close to some OF the repre-
sentatives of special interests. Mr..
Straus, the secretary of commerce and
labor, is identified with New York bus
mess interests, having been connected
with mercantile firm there. In re
cent years most of his time has beer
spent in public Office. Mr.. Metcalf
secretary of the navy, was Californis
lawyer and a member of congress. HI
was notparticularly noted for any strong
anti-monopoly tendency. Mr.. Meyer,
the postmaster general, has since 1901
held office in the diplomatic service.
He. is identified with the business inter
est of Boston, being a director in q
large number Of local corporations and
banks. Mr.. Garfield, the secretary OF
the interior, practiced law at Cleveland
Ohio. He it was who gave the beef
trust the famous immunity bath. Mr..
Taft, secretary of war, has held APP
pointive office nearly all his life. Until
he entered the cabinet he owed his po-
litical preferment to the Foraker in
fiuence in Ohio. He has never beer
particularly demonstrative against the
special interests Mr.. Cortelyou began
his public life as stenographer under
the Cleveland administration and with
the details of his rapid rise everyone is
familiar.

Well, the baby got frightened and commenced to cry and slap papa. Then the crowd were sure he was "kidnapper. But where John made his mistake was in taking the kid out at all.

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
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachain Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a
rumbling sound of imperfect hea,ing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
mes is the result, and unless tho in
fiammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to.its norma cond1-
ton, hearing will he destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing br.t an
infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
