BURToN's SACRIFICE.

The johnson Burton contest in
Cleveland is attracting great deal
of attention.. not only in Cleveland,
but throughout the whole state
and nation. 1t proves interesting
outside of Cleveland for the rea-
son that it furnishes an example
which has very few parallels. The
spectacle of man with a ma
ticual and even world wide repu-
tation stepping out Of the nation
al limelight to engage in muni-
cipal campaign and that too. in
order to advance the policies of
his chief executive and aid in
carrying out the plans which he
has made. Congressman Burton
has taken long chance in order
to aid President Roosevelt in his
fight against Senator Foraker and
in his determination TO make Sec
retafy Taft the nominee of the
Republican party in 1908. OF course
Burton is assured his part of the
PIE, should the plan be successful.
If Burton succeeds in defeating
Mayor johnson in the fight which
as now on, and if the Taft
crowd is victorious throughout the
state, then Burton is right in

Fairbanks Friends Say His
Defeat will Act on tn,
People.

Washington, Oct. 4.-Prominent
senators and representatives i'm
Washington declare that the PiVhi-
bitionists have made serious mis-
take in defeating Vice President
Fairbanks for delegate to the quad
rennial conference of the Methodist
church because cocktails were serv-
ed at his home in indianapolis on
the occasion Of the reception to
President Roosevelt in May last.
II is declared that the action of
the radical temperance people as
to the vice president will awaken
the condemnation and antagonism
of the liberal element all over the
country and will bring these peo-
pile to the front more prominently
than heretofore in the fights OF
the Prohibitionists to enlarge their
territory. In addition to this

in congress will resent this attach
upon him, and will show their re-
sentiment by privately and publicly
opposing all efforts of the cold
water people to secure federal leg
islation at the coming session in
congress-.
Mr.. Fairbanks, it is pointed oui
by strong friends, is practical
temperance man inasmuch as per
sonallv he either abstains altogeth-
er or uses alcohol in the greatest
moderation.

tenor heard that the seats had not

part of the boxes would be empty
lowing to the enormous prices de-
manded. This indifference piqued
him and his vexation was increased
Ion learnenig that Countess Vasquez
who was billed to sing the title roll,
had suddenly declined to appear, and
that he would have to cooperate with
her under-study. Caruso demanded
that he performance be postponed or
another opera substituted.
Caruso reluctantly appeared, how
ever, but sang so indifferently that
the audience was greatly disappoint-
led. After the first two acts nobody
|applauded but at the final fall Of
the curtain, applause was rendered
Caruso. however, refused to go on
the stage. He went instead to his
dressing room, where he burst into
tears. He declared he had never
experienced such treatment in his
life.

ton Poet, September Dist snys he
"is man who would well fit OH
a ticket with Mr.. Bryan at its
head. He is young, able and a man
of unquestioned political integrity
he is equally fit as candidate
for president. Democrats here
deprecate this blowing cold ON
Mr.. Chanler as candidate fol
president and then warming up
to him as vice presidential pos
sibility. The friends of Mr..
Bryan declare that he knows Moth
ing of this muddle that has been
made of his political affairs, and
not only regret, as all Democrats
must, the attempt to link Mr..
Chanler with corrupt bargain,
and then appear to condonc it by
Offering him the second place on
the ticket.
There is also general regret
hore amongst Democrats that any
rivalry for the Democratic nominal
tion for president should result
in widening the breach in the
ranks or disheartening any faction
who see fit to push the candidacy
of any favorite. It is conceded
that to win practically all Demo-
Gratis must unite on the ticket that
will be selected, and the united
wisdom of the delegates from all
the States will be greater than the
judgment of individuals, who are
apt to be warped by their friend
ship for some particular man.
The declared intention of Mr..
Hearst that he "wiIl pot run for
President on the Independe,
League ticket ~" on any other
ticket and the general tone of his
statement just published is viewed
here with satisfaction, although
there is a feeling that what he
si'ys is intended as notification
almost amounting TO threat that
he will no longer continue 10 af-
fitiate with the. Dapecracy. but
"will devote myself heart and soul
to the organization and extension of
the Independence League.

Alliance, Oct. 4.--When Max Sol
omon, night watchman of the village
OF Sebring, was ringing the curfew
bell at 5 last evening. as a warning
to all children under 16 to scamper
home, he was deluged with wash
tub OF water from the belfry by op-
ponents OF the new ordinances.
When he merged from the building,
more than 200 boys and girls pelted
Solomon with vegetables and other
missiles. Mayor Dof who appeared
on the scene, ordered Solomon to ar
rest the leaders, and he pulled the
badge from his coat and rendered
his resignation. The mob made
merry on the streets until midnight.

LABELED
HIS JOKE
John D. Chuckles to Let
Station Agent Know He
was in Fun.

New York, Oct. 4.-John ID. Rock
efeller told the Tarrytown station
agent yesterday that he thinks Taft
is the biggest presidentilG possibil-
ity. But, since he shook with laugh
ter, 1t is believed he meant the big
gest" as pun.
Mr.. Rockefeller reached Tarrytown
from Cleveland on the Cleveland,
New York express. which stopped at
the little station expressly to let him
and Mrs. Rockefeller of. John d.
Rockefeller, jr., shook hands with
his father and then embraced his
mother and then William Butler, the
New York Central agent stepped up.
WHO do you think'll be the next
president. Mr.. Rockefeller" he asked.
Taft looks biggest to me- was the
instant reply, and the Rockefeller
party drove off TO Pocantico hills, all
laughing in great glee.

lose) and should the Foraker
forces win and Taft be slated for
the down and out club 80 far as
the presidential nomination is con-
ccrned, then Burton has lost the
high position he holds and will
become a martyr to the ambitions
of Roosevelt. ~
Theodore Burton is man who
has come to the front in recent
years because Of his ability and
persistent effort. He is one Of the
Ohio men who has gained recogni-
tion, not because of his nomination
for the presidency, for that honor
has never been vouchafed him.
He is one of the prominent men
Of Ohio who was entirely overlook
ed in the article, written by Mr..
Harding, appearing in the last
issue of the Ohio Magazine. AS
a congressman, Burton has stood
in the front ranks since he shook
off the swaddling clothes of the
first termers He has taken a
prominent part in important legis-
lation since the thine he entered
The lower halls of congress, but
his reputation was made
national by his efforts as the head
f the Inland Waterways commits
sion. Since he became identified
With that work he has accomplished
great work. The trip of Pres
dent Roosevelt in company with
that commission, which ended at
Memphis is evidence of the rec
gnized Importance of this work.
ihis is the first time that so much
ecognition has been given to the
sork of the commission, and it
las all brought about by the Clevc-
md congressman.
Mr.. Burton s fame became na-
ional because of the part he took
in the recent peace parley in Lon
don, where he was recognized as
one of the main spokes in the
wheel. The Great Commoner recog-
nized his ability and commented
upon the place he had agined, when
he returned from the conference
Of which he was guest.
Now this man Burton, has sac
rificed all of this and has staked
his all upon the municipal cam
paign In Cleveland. And for
what? Merely to endeavor to re-
deem the Forest City for the re-
publicans and send to the General
Assembly of Ohio, in 1909, a
republican delegation which will
vote with the national admins
tiation and oust Foraker from the
senatorship, for without the Cleve-
and delegation, Foraker's over
hrow will be next to impossible.
should Burton fail, nothing will
,e left for him but an appoint
nent.
Burton is surely risking great
leal for President Roosevelt and
Secretary Taft.

MEAT AND DAIRY EXPORTS.
Total Value $3.50. COO, geo Last Year, a Growth
S of Forty five Per Cent. In Decade.

Washington, D. C.-The total ex-
p~ortation of meats, dairy products
and food animals from the United
States last year aggregated over
$25O,000,000 in value, according to
a statement issued by the Bureau of
Statistics of the Department of Com
merce and Labor. This represents
an increase of $70,000,0 900, or forty
five per cent. during the decade 1896
to 1906. More than sixty per cent.
of last years exports went to the
United Kingdom. Even this large
percentage, however, is less than that
of a decade ago, when Great Britain
took over seventy per cent. of Amer
lean exports.
Of the s25O,000,OOo worth OF
meats, dairy products and food ami
mails passing out of the United
States last year. S40,OOO,OOO was in
live animals, $5S,0OO.OOO in lard,
$S6,000,0OO in bacon, SIS, 100000 in
fresh beef, $21,000,000 in hams,
$1S,000,00O in oleomargarine, $14,-
100000 in pork other than bacon and
hams, $4,500,O0O in butter and So
SOC, 900 in cheese.
The farmers of America are en-
joying their full share of the general
prosperity of the country. The re-
port OF the Government recently made
public announces that the value of
farms increased thirty-three per cent.
in five years, from 1900 to 1906.
This increase extends tor every State
in the Union in greater or less de-
gree. Oklahoma shows the largest
increase, forty-three per cent, but
even New England, which does not
lay claim to much of a farming coun-
try. shows a gain of eighteen Dor
cent.
This great increase in our farm
wealth is, of course, due to the re-
markable advance in the value of
farm products, which is estimated to
be about forty per cent. Increased
earnings have come with better
knowledge of conditions and better
methods of farming, and as these
methods are constantly improving,
our continued prosperity seems as
sured.

FORAKER TAKES STUMP.
Has Differed With President on Only
Three Points, He Says.

Canton, Ohio.-Senator Joseph b.
Foraker opened his campaign against
the friends of Secretary Taft for con-
troll of the State here when he deliV-
cred a speech at the Board of Trade
dinner.
His topic was sfOur Civic Life"
but he discussed his career in Con-
gress, explained his attitude toward
President Roosevelt's policies, de-
clared that he would accept no criti-
eism except from. his constituents,
and held himself accountable to no
one else. He said he had only thrice
opposed legislation favored by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and that he would
abide by the judgment Of the people
Of Ohio as to whether he had done
right. His references to the Presi-
dent were received without demon
stration.
Mr.. Foraker's reception upon his
arrival and during the afternoon was
perhaps not SO warm as usual.

WHIsKYS STATUS Defined
President Declares That Liquors
Must Be Labeled Truly.
Blends and Compounds Are Substa=-
Tally Alike and 10th Are For
hidden by Pure Feed LAW.

Washington, D. C.-Tne .ong-e--
pected opinion OF Acknowledgement
kBonaparte concerning the prope-
labelling of whisky under the Purs
Food law, approved June 80, 1906,
was made public &C the White House.
It's purport is briefly told in the fol-
lowing letter addressed by the Presf-
dent to the Secretary of'Agriculture:
My Dear Mr.. Secretary-In accord
ance with your suggestion, 1 have
submitted the matter concerning the
proper labelling of whisky 1nder the
Pure Food law to the Department of
Justice. I inclose the Attorney-Gen-
erals opinion. I agree with this
opinion, and direct that action be
taken in accordance with it.
Straight whisky will be labeled as
such.
A mixture of two or more straight
whiskies will be labeled ,>lended
whisky or WHISTLES.
A mixture of straight whisky and
ethyle alcohol, provided that there is
a sufficient amount of straight whisky
to make it genuinely a mixture"
will be labeled as compound, Or COM
pounded with pure grain distillate.
Imitation whisky will be labeled as
such.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
Referring to sherry, port and LA
deira, whose f~lavors, the Attorney
General says, are distinct from each
other, he points out there is an evil
dent distinction to be drawn between
them and champagne, and adds:
"In the view of a chemist or
physicist, champagne would doubt
less be described as a compound for
1t consists essentially of a wine, of
sugar, and of an aerating gas, three
substances obviously unlike The
law, however, in my opinion, does
not contemplate that an article
should be marked as a blend COM
pound or imitation unless its desig-
nation would be otherwise false or
misleading to the consumers; and the
name champagne would indicate to
any would-be purchaser who was or
dinarily intelligent and we'll informed
a wine artifcially sweetened and
aerated, or, in other words, a COM
posite substance"
Compound" and "blend" are sub
statially synonymous, the Attorney
General says, when applied to mix
lures Of liquids, in ordinary speech,
but the Pure Food law establishes a
distinction between them, based upon
the character of the ingredients.
The Acknowledgement declares that
according to the true intent of the
Pure Food law, a mixture of whisky
with a neutral spirit must be deemed
a compound" and not a blend"
, although the spirit may be a distil1ate
from the same substance used to
furnish the whisky, and that such a
mixture stands on the same footing
IS a mixture of whisky and brandy OF
Of whisky and rum.

EXPORTS OF MANUFACTURES.
Exceed s70o, 000, 900 a Year---Hays Doubled
In Value In Ten Years.

Washington, D. c. The United
States now ranks third among the
worlds exporters of manufactures,
according to monograph on exports
Of manufactures from the United
States and their distribution" issued
by the Bureau of Statistics of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor.
It is shown that lot only do the
exports of manufactures now exceed
$700,000,000 per annum, and have
doubled in value in a single decade,
but the share which products of the
factory form of the total exports is
steadily increasing. A comparison
shows that in 1880 manufactures
formed only fifteen per cent. of the
total exports of domestic products,
while in 1906 they formed forty per
cent.
In the decade ending with 1905
exports of manufactures increased
1913 per cent, while those from Ger
many increased seventy-five per
cent; from the United Kingdom,
forty per cent, and from France,
twenty-five per cent.
