The Grip.

Before we can sympathize with
others, we must have suffered our

fering attendant upon an attack of
the grip, unless he has had the ex-
perience. There is probably no dis
ease that causes so much physical
and mental agony, or which so sue
cessfully defies medical aid. All dan
ger from the grip, however, may be
avoided by the prompt use of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. Among

this remedy, not one case has ever
been reported that has resulted in
pneumonia or that has not recovered.

TAFT A CANDIDATE.

Secretary Taft Announces that he
will make the race for the presidency
if nominated. 1t is an open secret
that the nomination of Taft would
be most acceptable to the president.
Not only are the president and his
war secretary in thorough accord in
the administrations corporation
policies, but they hold identical
views az to the proper policy to be
pursued in the Philippines and in the
construction of the Panama canal.
Secretary Taft's candidacy for the
presidential nomination means that
the Republican party no longer can
dodge within its own ranks the ques-
ton of tariff revision. The secretary
of war is the one member of the adj
ministration who has declared him
self clearly and distinctly on the sub
ject.
In his speech at Portsmouth, in
advocacy of the reelection of Repre-
sentative Littlefield last October,
Secretary Taft, without evasion and
apparently with the carefully con
siderel purpose of defining just
where he stands with respect to the
tariff question, proclaimed his belief
in the need for general overhaul
ing of the present tariff schedules,
and their re-establishment upon a
basis better suited to the commercial
needs and activities Of the nation.
At the time the speech was deliver
ed it was looked upon as sounding
the keynote for the general Republi-
can campaign. 1t was believed, and
probably with accuracy, that Mr.
Taft, not only expressed upon this
occasion his own views, but the
views Of the president. Later Mr..
Roosevelt, yielding to the impor-
tunities of campaign managers and
the exigencies of the political situa-
ton, as they represented it, wrote
his letter to Representative Watson
that the tariff could not be
considered an issue to be determined
by the election of a new congress,
but that the fight was really one for
and against the policies of the adj
This had the effect of eliminating
the tariff from consideration in the
so far as the Republicans
were concerned, but it did not eradi-
cate the announcement of Mr., Taft's
views of the question. Now that
Taft has suddenly become the fore !
most of all the candidates for the
Republican nomination, the question
If tariff revision springs immediate
Y to the front as an issue that must
'e fought out within the Republican
arty, and determined between now
nd the assembling of the nominate
ne convention.
