NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-In an address
delivered Sunday before the Peoples
Forum in New Rochelle, the Rev. DR..
Lyman Abbott said a good word for
the corporations and at the same time
praised President Roosevelt for his
policy.
The president, he said, was exercis-
ing more control over legislation than
any other executive who had occupied
the White House, but he said the presi-
dent was not seeking to attain legis-
lative ends by the exercise of patron
age.
ut is because the American people
are with him." he said, "that the presi-
dent has been able to get some good
legislation"
The speaker decried the feeling
against the trusts, as he said that
trusts and combinations were agencies
for good when they were honestly con-
Quoted.
at is the abuses that have crept into
these corporations, and not their ex-
istence which have made some of them
obnoxious" he said.

is the one cigar you can be sure is genuine
Porte RtcaN-in name and quality.
FL Toro represents the best 5-cent cigar
that Porto Rico can produce. Smokers
of FL Toro cigars know how far superior
this brand has always been to any cigar
sold for cents.
This years Porto Rican tobacco crop is
better than ever before and only the
choicest selections are used in the FL Toro.
For this reason the El Toros now on the
market are particularly recommended to
smokers.
: Every FL Tore is now 64mded. This is
the cigar that has done so much to
popularize Porto Rican cigars among dis
eliminating smokers.

That's one thing that's sure about FL Toro'
