Larson Restores Voice 10 vosper.


Charles. Vosper of Riverton Sta
tion Is a young man who cheerful'y
testifies TO the efficacy OF Teleconi.
the science OF vibration, as admin
istered by James Austin Larson, its
originator. When Mr.. Vosper came
TO Mr.. Larson in his Offices In the
Savoy hotel for treatment he was
speechless. He had suffered two
severe strokes of paralysis, the firet
year ago last October, the second
year ago last March.
Sought Aid of Doctors.
Afr. Vosper first went to Winnipeg
and took treatments there In an ef-
fort TO have his speech restored. He
improved slightly. so far as his pa
Faiysis was concerned, but his vocal
cords refused 10 act properly. and
he finally came back 10 Seattle ana
went 10 the Seattle general hospital
Mr.. Vosper says they relieved him
considerably, so far as his strength
was concerned, but there was still
the lack OF speech.
Hears Of Larson.
IL was about this time that James
Austin Larson, the originator Of Tel
econi, the science of vibration In the
treatment OF human ills came TO
Seattle and established offices in the
Savoy hotel. Mr.. Vosper and his
friends determined TO give the man
who had performed so many mar
velous cures a trial, and accordingly
Mr.. Vosper came TO the Savoy, con-
suited with Mr.. Larson and arranged
for a course of treatments. While
not detracting in the slightest from
the good done him by the physicians
who have treated him, Mr.. Vosper
says:
What the doctors did for me was
to In a meaaure restore my strength,
but IL took James Austin Larson aud
his Teleconi treatments to give me
back my speech"

And then Mr.. Traynor placed his
hands in his pockets and walked
away, with head erect and eyes
cleaning with delight. AS he passed
along the, corridor many eyes OF
guests of the Savoy hotel were
turned upon him. and one woman
was heard to say:

II is Mr.. Traynor's intention toI

chance for him to ever move about
without crutches. He merely wants
this doctor to see him walk.

popular young man around town. He
graduated with high honors from the
civil engineering department OF Leh-
Ugh University last year and his

WHAT THEY STAND FOR.

As a result OF the deal between the
Wall street interests and the TAFT
managers there has been'a decided
shift OF elements that will be factors
in tho approaching presidential cam
paign. Three months ago II was
thought that Taft would have behind
him those Republicans who are the
most earnest supporters Of the re-
forms for which President Roosevelt
Is contending, and against him the
representatives Of the so-called preda-
tory wealth who have been the loud
est In deuOuncing the President:
But the political twist which has
occurred has changed all this. and the
truth Is that without exception all the
great corporations and the "malefac-
tors of wealth" care now among the
most earnest supporters OF Mr.. Tafts
candidacy. 1t Is quite clearly under
stood by the country that instead OF
Icing obnoxious TO the benehcfarfes
of many wrongs and abuses assailed
50 fercely by the President the can
didacy of Secretary Taft Is viewed
with much favor by them and they
are organizing to give him their NOR
al and financial support
Therefore it Is evident that In the
campaign Bryan and not Taft will be
the candidate against whom the rich
malefactors and the lawless corpora
tons. so often attacked by the Pres
ident, will be arrayed. On the other
hand there is not the least doubt that
Bryan and not Taft will represent the
aggressive spirit Of reform which I'M
til recently was embodied in the atti-
tude of the President II is about as
sure as anything can be that in the
campaign the Democratic candidate
for the President will stand for genu-
inc Democracy. genuine reform, the
square deal and as the uncomprom!s-
ing opponent Of special privilege.
These are the things the people
want. what they are goirfg to strive
for In the coming campaign and I'M
less the signs in the political heavens
are awUy. while the elements which
the President has SO frequently at
tackled will vote for his candidate

supported his reform policies only to

likely to have any troublesome habit
OF independent research and its pur.
poses will be colored with political
expediency. The proposal for this par.
ticular kind Of commission came .>1m
the authors Of the Aldrich bill. and
there is little doubt that there is back
OF 1t a deliberate intention of using Il,
as means Of perpetuatinE the system
Of bond.secured hank currency. mere
ly opening the way for the use Of
other bonds than those Of the United
State government"
1t is evident that the Journal voices
the sentiments OF the banking and
business interests OF the country.
when it declares that what the coun-
try wants and has right to expect
is real currency reform. hence the agi-
tation to that end which has been
started should not be allowed to lapse
as the Vreeland-Aldrich law is only a
piece Of patch work and is also large
sized dose OF faith cure. There can
be no doubt that the, people ap-
preciate the fact that It is a great
question and what they want is in
formation, knowledge and understand
ing on 1t. We are quite sure that
there will be q general agreement
with the declaration Of the Journal
Of Commerce that "a public opinion
should be developed which will stop
the paltering Of those whose object
Is not to serve the interests Of the
people OF the country. but those OF
trafIlckers in pubic power for private
gain and political advantage"

POCOMOKE CITY, MD.
Sheriff Townsend Came Hero Yester.
day and Got the White Man
Wanted in Maryland.

w. c. Pope, who was recently &C
quilted of the charge OF horse steal
ing by jury in the Elizabeth City
County Circuit Court. was taken ia
PocOmoke City, Md. last night, where
he = wanted to answer the charge
OF stealing a horse, buggy and mar
ness. Sheriff Townsend arrived in
Hampton early yesterday morning
from Pocomoke City and immedi-
ately went to- Hampton Jail and con-
ferred with Sheriff Curtis. The Mary
land sheriff did not have the neces'
sary requisition papers and had ex'
pected to 90 to Richmond before re-
turning with the prisoner. Pope
however. consented to accompany the
sheriff back to Maryland without 60
ing through the formalities Of Sc
curing the requisition.
Sheriff Townsend left with his pris'
oner on the Cape Charles steamer at
2 O'Clock last night.
According to Sheriff Townsend
Pope is an old timer in police circles.
He broke out of Jail at Georgetown
Del. about six months ago and going
to Pocomoke City is alleged to have
stolen the horse, buggy and harness
from a liveryman. which he sold for
$3.50. He then came to Elizabeth
City county. His actions here are
well known and his acquittal was due
to the charitableness Of those con
nected with the case against him.
Several days ago a letter was re-
ceived here saying that for the sum
of $50 the charge in Maryland
against Pope could be dismissed and
a check was sent there for the
amount by gentlemen who interested
themselves in Pope or account Of his
wife and small children. It seems
that the check was sent to the au-
thorities in Delaware. who wanted
him for breaking Jail, where q fine
was held against the man

PROGRESS ON PANAMA CANAL
WORK.

Occasionally there is a wall from
the zone where the Panama canal
work is in progress. but most of the
reports from the land where Uncle
Sam is undertaking his most gigantic
task are most gratifying. There
is evidently no longer any
doubt that the progress on the canal
will he faster ~ the months 60 by, for
all the problems in connection with
the work have been solved, and the
greatest difaculties that the engineers
still have to overcome is In the con-
struction Of the Gatun dam. which
will be the largest in the world. But
the army engineers are confident that
this problem will be solved as readily
as the others have been.
1t Is only four years ago that the
United States succeeded the French
company which began the work OF
constructing the canal. The French
company expected TO complete the Gu
nal In seven years at a cost OF STA
000, 900, but the time ran to % years
and the work was abandoned after a
sum more than treble the estimated
cost had been expended. A good por,
ton of the time the United Stataes
has been working on the canal the
work has been Of an experimental
character and OF sanitary engineering
necessary to clear the way. and yet at
the end OF these four years more than
81, 900, 900 cubic yards of dirt have
been excavated, or q per cent. OF
what 1t took the French company
twenty-three years to dig.
1t is well to state. however. that the
most significant fact is that OF the to-
tai amount dug under American sup
ervisiou more than 10000" cubic
Yards were excavated>during the first
four months Of the present year. In
other words. the American engineers
have accompliShed In four months Is
per cent. of What the French accom-
plished in rs months. The figures
certainly are . tribute for American
brains, energy and skill besides Civ
ing assurance that whatever difiicnl-
ties remain win lie faced and conquer
