THERE are host Of petty ailments

weather.
This is more true Of the excessive
heat Of summer and the intense cold
OF winter, but Is partly true OF all
seasons OF the year.
Whether It be cold or o cough
catalh of the head or bowl complaint,
whether the liver be affected or the
kidneys, the cause is very liable to
be the same.
The weather slightly deranges the

the result is some functional disease.

Graduates Class Night.

The 1907 graduates of the Florida Fe-
male College held their class night in
the opera house on the evening of the
Goth. A large audience was delight
fully entertained by the young ladies'
with the, usual program Of address,
prophecy, poem and history interspers-
ed with we'll rendered musical selections
both vocal and instrumental. The coll
lege faculty is justly proud of this class
of 1907 for its members are young
women of brilliant promise, who have
been more than usually diligent and
painstasing in their school duties, show
ing an ambition that was eminently
praise-worthy.
The legislature has done well to so
literally provide for the growth of Flor

is a subject for pleasant anticipation

halls in which to entertain the public
on these annual occasions which mean

To Secure Fair Treatment.

1--WE have reached the day when we
must be willing to make geenrous con-
cessions if We are to receive fair
treatment in Europe. Ex-
press
This is the conclusion reached in
view of threats by Germany and
France to mark up their tariffs on
American exports. We are to make
generous CONCESSIONS" from our tariff
on German and French exports in or
der to secure fair treatment. We are
to take the bread out of the mouths of
American wage earners and their fam
lies merely because some European
nation threatens to treat us unfairly
II we don't!
Is that the Express idea of the prop
er course for a nation of S5,000,000
people to pursue? Are we to lie down
and surrender our rights whenever
some foreign country fiourishes a big
stick?
Our tariff is our own. It suits us.
1t was made for Americans. not for
Germans or Frenchmen. Under it we
are buying $700,000,000 year of com.
petitive goods from foreign producers.
Shall we be scared into buying more?
If so, how much more?
If we show the white feather now
when and where will the big stick
bluff game stop? Are we always to be
at the mercy of foreign bulldozers?
For shame! The Express needs to
take few stitches in it's patriotism
and its common sense. Both are get.
ting the worse for wear when 1t talks
about making generous concessions in
order to secure fair treatment. There
is better way to secure fair treat
ment, and the weapons are in our owr
hands.

HAS NO FOUNDATION.
Report that Japan Has Issued an Viii.

Washington, ID. C.-Secretary Root
positively refuses to make any
statement touching the Japanese situ-
alton in its relation to The conference
which took place at the White House
Wednesday evening between the pres
ident, some members of the cabinet
and the California congressional dele
cation. He does. however, enter a
sweeping denial of the authenticity of
any of the published interviews at
tributed to him as to the imminence
of war or the state of the treaty nego.
tiations, or indeed any phase of this
subject, which he regards as one emil
nently unsuited for public discussion
at this time
The fact appears to be that a state
ment in the press cable dispatches as
cribed to Baron Hayashi, Japan's min.
lister for foreign affairs, to the effect
San Francisco school officials, then
the matter of discrimination against
Japan would require diplomatic treat
ment was in some quarters erroneous
ly attributed to Secretary Root, who
has been put in the position of stating
that he had received an ultimatum
from the Japanese minister for for
eign affairs. Mr.. Root denies that he
has received any such communication
and careful inquiry fails to show that
the alleged remark of Baron Hayashi
has ever been communicated officially
10 this government.

Foreign Trade, $3,25o, 900, 900.

What will the advocates of tariff re-
duction as promoter of foreign trade
have to say about The November trade
returns? In the first II months of
1906 our imports have been $1,18S,-
1882, an increase of S110, 1873, ,061
over the corresponding period in 1905,
while our exports have amounted to
$1,607,712,S42, this being $3.50, ,567
more than for the first II months of
1905. The grand total for IL months
Is $2,795, 1852, ,664. At this rate our for
egn trade for 1906 will reach the 49,.
250,000,000 mark. Is not our foreign
trade doing fairly well under the Ding
ley tariff? 1t is double what it was
ten years ago under tariff revised
downward with particular reference
to promoting foreign trade. Taking
these large figures into due considera-
tion, will the congress of commercial
organizations which is to meet two
weeks hence in Washington be likely
to advise another experiment in for.
eign trade promotion like that of
.1s64'S7? We should think not.

Two Pages of Or. Taft's Diary.

The standard biographies of Lin
coin and the newspapers of 1865 make
brief mention of Dr. Taft as being
present at the presidents death and
the autopsy. There can be no doubt
of the genuineness of the notes. The
house on Twenty-second street former
ly occupied by DR.. Taft, is now a
boarding house, and the Doctors name
is unknown to the present occupant.
Some of the older residents in the
neighborhood, however, remember him,
but indistinctly.
DR.. Taft begins his memoranda of
the great tragedy in these words:
Notes of the circumstances attend
ing the assassination of Abraham Lin
coin, president of the United States,

notes of my attendance on the presi-

A BUSINESS BULLETIN.
Commercial Activity in All Lines Is
the Greatest Ever Known.

New York.-R. G. Dun & CO. s
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Although the average of the 60 most
active railway securities fell this
week to the lowest point since 1904,
there was no corresponding reaction
in commercial activity, which con-
tinued beyond precedent Reports
from leading manufacturing centers
indicate that scarcely any idle ma
chinery can be found, preparations for
future trade evidencing a confidence
in well maintained consumption.
Forward business is most extensive
in the iron and steel manufacture and
the cotton industry, and the mercan-
tile outlook is bright. Wholesale
houses receive large contracts for
spring delivery, especially in dry
goods lines, and the settled winter
weather has produced wholesome re-
duction in retail stocks of heavy
weight wearing apparel and other sea-
sonable merchandise.
