in West Virginia.

WASHINGTON. ID. c. Jan. e.
Democrats have their troubles, there
Is no doubt of that. but just Mt this
time there Is far from entire har-
mony in the ranks of the Republican
party, this condition resulting from
the fight for the presidential nomina-
tion.
a Republican of reputation, as one
of his party leaders. charged today
that as much money had already been
spent to bring about the nomination
OF Secretary Taft rs Mark Hanna
spent to nominate Mr.. Mckinley in
1896. MIR. Hanna never disguised the
fact that he used all the money he
could get, which was all he needed,
to nominate his friend. and the ponu.
lar report WAS that he spent q big
fortune TO capture delegates to the
st. Louis convention In 1896.

This woman says that sick
women should not fail to try
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound as she did.
Mrs. A. Gregory, of 1856 Lawrence
St, Denver, Col, writes to Mrs.
Tinkham:
II was practically an invalid for six
years, on account of female troubles.
i underwent an operation by the
doctors advice, but in few months
was worse than before. A friend ad-
vised Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound and it restored me to perfect
health, such rs have not enjoyed In
many years. Any woman suffering as
l did with backache, bearing down
phina, and periodic pains, should not fail
to use Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound"
FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN.
For thirty years Lydia Il. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, made
from roots and herbs, has been the
standard remedy for female ills,
and has positively cured thousands of
women who have been troubled with
displacements, inflammation, ulcera-
ton, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backnche, that bear
ing-down feeling, flatulency, indiges-
ton, dizziness or nervous prostration.
Why don't you try it?
Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick
women to write her for advice,
She has guided thousands to
health. Address, Lynn, Mass.

POLITICAL DIFFERENCES
OUGHT not Disturb the Social and
Businss sss Unity Of the Race

After one of the bitterest fights in
the history of the county, c. c. Ham
lin Of Colorado Springs has won out
over Franklin E. Brooks in the RepuD-
lican primaries. At once, with the
wisdom and kindness that marks a
man of foresight and power, he an
nounces to his friends that his thanks
are theirs, and to his opponents, he
saws that the success of the Repubii-
can party and its harmony outweigh
private revenge and that the close OF
the polls marked cessation OF the
Hamlin- Brooks fight so far as he is
concerned.
The large part which colored voters
of Ell Paso county took in the con-
test, it being the all-absorbing topic
among them for months, causes us to
comment upon Mr.. Hamlin's action,
hoping thereby our people may do
likewise. The success of the party
causes him to subordinate the very
human feeling of revenge to the good
OF Republicanism, and the many vital
points in which we are bound together
both by a fellow feeling and by en-
vironment, ought to cause us to hang
together lest we hang separately. 1t
is natural that ie will differ on men
whom we support for office, but the
great questions that bear upon our
conditions, admit of no difference ex-
ce2t on methods of settlement The
Statesman, therefore, condemns with
out stint any disposition upon the part
of negroes when differing upon one
proposition, to drag all down to COM
mon ruin for the sake of the one.
This is a white mans country. Our
theoretical rights and our actual ones
are as far apart as the poles. The
only way we can get reasonable
share Of what is our due is to hold

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-05-28

One of the chief clauses of the railroad rate law passed by the last congress was "the commodity clause which went into effect on May l of this year. There has evidently been an effort to nullify the clause by re- fusing to prosecute those railroads which are openly disobeying the law, says Washington writer. The provision that railroads after May l could not, without being law-break- CTS, own or sell commodities which they controlled, was intended espec- ially to cover the mining and selling of coal by the so-called coal roads. That provision was added to the law in difference to the united public opinion that for the railroads to own and also transport coal was a monop- oly that was undesirable and added greatly to the cost of coal to the peo- pie. When the law was under con- sideration by congress, President Roosevelt and majority of the re- publicans in congress were insistent that the commodity clause should be added to the law. But the law is a dead letter, and has been nullified by the executive officers of the gov ernment refusing to enforce it. Yet the republicans claim to be reform CTS.

 New York. May 2s.-Coincident with Justice Morschauser's decision that Harry K. Thaw is still insane and that 1t would be a menace to the commit nity to give him his liberty it became known that Thaw and his wife, Eve lyn Nesbit Thaw. have become recon ciled. So far have the peace negotia- tions progressed that Evelyn has con- sented to drop the action, which she began last March, to have their mar riage annulled on the ground of the prisoners insanity.
 The discontinuance of the annulment action has left young Mrs. Thaw in the position of being the wife of al insane man. and as such it is under stood that she will immediately make application to have herself appointed a committee of his person and property. In support of her application she will have the decision of Justice Morschau- ser that her husband is still insane and the testimony If the experts called at her husbands trial that he was insane on the day he msde his will, which was the day of his marriage.

TO END UNION AGREEMENTS.
They Will Be Terminated by Con.
 solidated Next Month.

New Haven, May 2s.-The blow to the mechanics in the employ of the New Haven road, predicted some time ago. came Tuesday when the unions were informed that the road would terminate its agreements with them. The notices do not state when the agreements will no longer hold, but it is generally believed to be June 1 or at least not later than the middle of the month.
 No explanation of the stand taken by the road is given, but it is gener- ally believed that the road will TO longer recognize the unions as such, and will insist on the piece work wage scale which 1t tried to have adopted some time ago. The em- ployes of the road say that when the officers of their unions have called upon the officers of the road. there has been no disposition on the
