Washinston.--Sons of former presi.

so well known until recently number
iof boomers suggested him as availa.
bic material for the Democratic nom

Then folks began to sit up and take
notice and ask questions about Jesse
Grant.
They found out that Jesse was the
third son OF Lees ccnqucror that, hav.
ing retired from business, IN which he
acquired literally OF wealth, he is now
settled down in New York.
Perhaps the strongest plank in Mr..
Grants platform is opposition to Mr.

cies he had to meet as leader of the
nation, and like all men with the
root of true greatness in them he
grew to steadily larger stature under
the stress Of heavy responsibilities.
He was a good citizen and a brave
soldier, Chief Executive whose wis
dom entitled him to the trust which
! he received throughout the nation.
He was not only a leader of men
but prominently a helper of men;
for one of his most marked traits
was the intensely human quality Of
his wide and deep sympathy. Fin
lally, he not merely preached, he was,
that most valuable of all citizens in
a democracy like ours, man who
in the highest place served as an un-
conscious example TO his people Of
| the virtues that build and conserve
alike our public life. and the founda-
tion of all public life, the intimate
| life of the home.
Many lessons are taugn, as by
his career, but none more valuable
than the lesson of broad human SYM
pathy for and among all of our citi-
zons of all classes and creeds. No
other President has ever more de-
served to have his life work charac-
terized in Lincoln's words as being
carried on with malice toward none,
with charity toward all AS a boy
he worked hard with his hands: he
entered the Army as a private soldier;
he knew poverty; he earned his own
livelihood; and by his own exertions
he finally rose to the position Of
man of moderate means. Not merely
was he in personal touch with farm
er and town dweller, with capital
list and wageworker but he felt an
Intimate understanding of each, and
therefore an intimate sympathy with
each; and his consistent effort was
to try to Judge all by the same stand
ard and to treat all with the same
justice. Arrogance toward the weak,
and envious hatred of those we'll off,
We're equally abhorrent to his just
and gentle soul
surely this attitude of his should
NC the dlllluut VI All our people TO-
day. It would be cruel disaster to
this country to permit ourselves to
adopt an attitude of hatred and envy
toward success worthily won, to-
ward wealth honestly acquired. Let
us in this respect profit by the exam
pie of the republics OF this Western
Hemisphere to the south of us. Some
of these republics have prospered
greatly but there are certain ones
that have Jagged far behind, that
still continue in condition of ma
lterial poverty of social and political
unrest and confusion. without ex-
ception the republics or the former
class are those in which honest in
ldustry has been assured of reward
and protection; those where a cor
dial welcome has been extended to
the kind OF enterprise which hene-
fits the whole country, while incident
lally, as is right and proper, giving
substantial rewards TO those who

am so nervous it seems as though l
should fly MY back aches as though
it would break"
How often do you hear these signi-
ficant expressions from wome n
friends. More than likely you speak
the same words yourself, and there
is a cause.
More than thirty years ago Lydia
E Pinkham of Lynn, Mass. discovered
the source of nearly all the suffering
endured by her sex. "Womans Ills"
these two words are full of more
misery to women than any other two
words that can be found In the
English language. Sudden fainting,
depression of spirits, reluctance to
go anywhere, backaches, headaches,
nervousness, sleeplessness, bearing
down sensations, displacements and
irregularities are the bane of woman's
existence.
The same woman who discovered
the cause of all this misery also
discovered a remedy. Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound made
from native roots and herbs holds
the record for greater number Of
absolute cures of female ills than any
other one remedy the world has ever
known and it is the greatest blessing
which ever came into the lives of
suffering women.
Don't try to endure, but cure the
cause of all your suffering. Lydia x.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at
once removes such troubles. The
following letters prove this:
