Itis a natural instinct to keep on think ing that ones own way is best. Which probably explains why there are still women enslaved by the old, hot, hard kind of washday.
 But reason overcomes instinct. That is part of reasons business. And there are million women who havegone over from the big range-hre, the ovtrheated house, the steaming suds and smell, the scalded clothes and the har d-rtbbing to-the Fels-Naptha cool, easy wishday.
 How is it with youe You have the testimony of the million Better still, you have the chance any day, any hour, to test our claims for yourself.

The greatest theatrical success
ever produced in Chicago will be seen
at the Valentine Theatre on Friday
and Saturday, October 9-1Oth., when
"a Stubborn Cinderella" will be pre-

love stories, music which is catchy
enough to almost be called popular"
yet pretentious enough to please the
most fastidious lover of high art, and
wonderful company of players have
combined to make "a Stubborn Gin

NEGRO AND DEMOCRACY.
Would Be Suicidal For coIored Men to
Vote For Bryan.

One of the greatest negroes this
country has known, leader of his
race and the honored confdant CT
recently said: 1T would be suicidal
for colored men to vote for Bryan.
They have nothing to hope for from
the Democratic party, which has dis.
franchised them in the south and
which processes to regard them as
unfit for the ballot anywhere. The
only chance for the negro is with the
Republican party, and 1t will be sad
day for the negro when a Republican
president will be elected without the
votes of negroes having helped to
place him in power"
In view of the fact that Bryan him.
self has approved negro dlsfranchise-
ment in tns south there can be no
doubt of his attitude should he be
elected to the presidency, while the
southern Democrats would regard
northern negro votes for their candi-
dates as an Endorsement by the negro
race of southern treatment of the ne
gro.
1t is impossible to believe that any
negro who has studied intelligently the
history of his race will go into the
voting booth and cast ballot in favor
of Bryan and against Taft and Sher-
man, the Republican candidates-the
candidates of the party which opened
the door of hope to the colored man.
which gave him the ballot and safe
guards him in its use in every state in
which Republicans rule.

iHE PARTY OF YOUTH
Why Young Men Vote the Repub-
Iican Ticket.
1T STANDS FOR PROGRESS.

New Voters Proud TO Ally Themselves
With tho Party Of Lincoln-lts Past
Performances Presaee a Still More
Glorious Future.
1t is not without significance that
young men who have just attained
their majority are found. as rule,
voting the Republican ticket. The rea-
son is plain. Those young men look
on the Republican party as the party
of hope. the party of promise and of
performance, the party for whose cam
didates they will be proud to say in
later years that they cast their first
ballot, the party whose past needs no
apology. no balm of oblivion for blum
ders and for crimes, no record of slav-
cry, rebellion and attempted repudia-
ton, each stamped out In its turn by
American freemen under Republican
leadership.
The Republican party Is eminently
the party of youth. With Republicans
the memory of the glorious past Is but
an incentive to make the future still
more glorious. To the Democracy is
left the congenia occupation of 6oun-
dering in the marsh of bygone Demo-
cratic vagaries. lured on by some new
and delusive will-o'-the-wisp to the
quagmire of quadrennial failure.
The youthful voter finds no attrac-
tion in such company. He prefers to
march forward on firm ground. with
the party of Lincoln. Of Grant, Nc
kinley and Roosevelt. of Taft and
Sherman and Hughes-of nearly every
great American, living and dead,
whose career has added luster to the
closing half of the old century and the
beginning of the new. The young
man prefers the Republican party be-
cause 1t holds out prospect for his
own advancement. because In build
ing up the nation as whole 1t offers
fresh opportunities to the individual,
because under Republican administra-
ton there is a fair field for every one,
and every citizen is protected in the
enjoyment of that which he has right
fully acquired.
The new voter who takes his place
In the Republican ranks and casts his
ballot for Taft and Sherman will have
the satisfaction not only of sharing in
the Republican victory, but also Of
knowing that he has helped to assure
prosperity for the country at large and
an immeasurably better chance in
life for himself and those in whom he
Is interested than If the harpies Of
Organism had been permitted to befoul
the feast.

Mr.. TAFT DOES THINGS.
One Incident That Shows the Quality
of the Man.

of the Man.
This incident affords perhaps as good
an insight into the psychology Of Mr..
Taft as any that could be cited. 1t IL
lustrates the way Mr.. Taft does things,
the way lie works and the way he
plays, for when he plays he plays as
hard and zestfully as he works. With
him the thing is 10 do It, Accomplish
ment is ever his aim. 1t happened
while Mr.. Taft was on the sea, bound
for Manila to open the Philippine as
sembly. The narrator watched the pro-
ceedings Mt close range. Three men
stood between decks on the steamship,
away up in the eyes of the ship, and
contemplated hole ten feet above
their heads. A narrow iron ladder led
Derpendicularly to the deck. The cir.
cumference of the hole seemed to ap-
DroXimnte that of sugar barrel. One
of the men, Ambassador OBrien,
bound for Tokyo. was tall and spare.
lean and sinewy. The second, Judge
Thomas Burke of Seattle, was short
and rotund. The third, MIR Taft, was
larger and heavier than the other two
put together.
at would be easier for the camel to
go through the needles eye, Mr. Sec
retary, than for you to get through
that hole" bantered Judge Burke.
~ wouldn't like to try that climb,
I'll confess" said the ambassador.
"Well. | don't know" rejoined the
2S5 pound secretary of war. at looks
like q tough proposition"
For moment the three turned aside
to examine something to which their
attention was directed. Unregarded
Mr.. Taft stepped to the foot of the lad
der and observed 1t contemplatively.
One might have dedGosd from his man.
ner that his Thoughts ran something
like this: That's a h 1rd climb, and
that hole looks smaller than my body,
but those fellows don't believe that
can climb up that ladder and get
through the hole. believe can. I'm
going 10 try it."
Before he was spied Mr.. Taft had
half scaled the ladder. Ambassador
O'Brien and Judge Burke, despite
their lesser weight, expressed in their
faces an approximation of dismay
when they saw what the secretary was
about. You'll never make it; better
come back" advised the ambassador.
Look out the ladder doesn't break"
cautioned Judge Burke. Round after
round the secretary progressed until
his body was halfway out of the hole.
When the circumference of his glrth
came into conjunction with the cir
cumference of the hole it was toss
up for minute which would win. But
Mr.. Taft proved that he had an elastic
waist line, which won over the un-
yielding limits of the hole. But it was
struggle. He stuck to 1t grimly and
doggedly. The lifting of 2So pounds
of dead weight by the muscles of the
arms is a task that would tax the
strength of far lighter man. y final
heave and Mr.. Taft hoped upon the
deck as lightly as a boy. He was
smiling all over. He had won. The
passengers who had watched gave him
cheer. He would have stayed in the
hole and fought 1t out for an hour
rather than retreat. That is Taft.

LABOR TURNS TO TAFT.
Toilers Scent Danger In the FalIaeies
of Mr.. Bryan.


of Mr.. Bryan.
Convincing evidence was furnished
by the conference at Cincinnati last
week by Judge Taft with Oscar
Straus, secretary of commerce and Ia
bor. and L. V. Powderly. formerly
general master workman Of the
knights Of Labor, that the attitude of
labor is growing each day more friend
ly to Taft. The campaign of education
which the Republicans have been car
rying on has been effective, and the
laboring man, so Mr.. Powderly told
the candidate, Is beginning to appre-
ciate the fact that q restoration of
business confidence through the elec-
tion of Mr.. Taft means more work and
prosperous times for him.
Secretary Straus announces his in
tention to go out on the stump for the
specific purpose of exposing some Of
the Bryan fallacies in regard to labor.
Said Mr.. Straus: 1.-The most dangerous
of these fallacies Is presented In
Bryan's slogan. Shall the people ruler
and well may he ask it, for every one
of his leading doctrines is a denial Of
that rule"
Mr.. Straus classes Mr.. Bryan's gov
ernment guarantee of bank deposits as
next in point of danger to his plan for
the government ownership of railroads.
Mr. Straus believes this guarantee
proposition Is as great menace as the
old 16 to 1 hobby. ITO guarantee de-
posits," said Secretary Straus, ''is to
guarantee the loans of the banks. for,
as matter of fact. large part of the
banks deposits is made up of credits
extended by the bank to borrowers and
by them deposited or placed on the
books of the banks as deposits"
Mr.. Powderly said among other
things after his talk with Taft: La
bor never was better organized, better
paid, more independent or more re-
spected than it is today. Never was it
more secure in its share of the outcome
OF the commodity or the good will and
confidence OF employers. All this is
due to the effort of nonpartisan, well
differed unions. What labor organiZa-
tions now anjoy. and they enjoy more
than they ever enjoyed in the civilized
world before, came as the result OF
intelligent. cooperative effort exerted
in a nonpartisan way through their
unions.
"of course there are many men out
of employment as the result of the
recent depression, but to my knowl-
edge men are returning to their old oc-
cupations a'l over the country and at
their old yates of pay. recall the
awful pani" OF 1873 and that OF 1893.
and in neither case did men go back to
work at their old wages. The case is
different now. and to my mind 1t would
be suicidal for labor to vote In such a
way as to imperil the return of full
prosperity. 80 rapidly manifesting

The drama in which James O'Neil
is appearing this year, "The Able
Bonaparte" is assured to be, by the
dramatic critics who have already
witnessed a performance, exactly the
vehicle which Mr.. O'Neil's tempera-
ment and manner has demanded.
This means that it is a piece abound
ing in tense scenes and stirring
events, a drama of subtitle strength.
1t is well known fact that no
actor on the stage eXcels and but
one or two equal Mr. O'Neil in his
skill in reading his lines. His elocu-
ton is matchless and in "The Able
Bonaparte" he has abundant oppor-
tunity to reveal his captivating quail
ity. Mr.. O'Neil ranks as one of our
foremost actors and with THE Able
Bonaparte" as his vehicle, his claim
to this position will not be denied.
Mr.. O'Neil appears at the Valentine
Theatre on Tuesday and Wednesday,
