Assuming him TO be president. who
knows what Mr.. Taft would do? AS
one who wishes the gentleman well, |
am no less driven to say that fear he
would do nothing For one sinister
sign he is ever looking for judgeship,
which is only another way of saying
that he's ever looking for chance to
sit down, The White House is no
place for tired people. There may be
rest for the weary. rest for the wicked,
but there's no rest for a president who
seeks to do right. He must be a Hecla
of industry Corliss engine in trou-
sers and frock coat.
There are other elements of contrast
between Mr. Roosevelt and Mr.. Taft.
Given one smooth and suave and
plausible TO do the fooling. | think Mr..
Taft might be fooled. There be those
the Hon. Elihu Root for example
who could pack him in cotton batting
and sing him to sleep.
Then will arise a final question OF
the popular. Suppose the party, listen
ing to Mr.. Roosevelt, names Mr.. Taft;
can he be elected? Following a nomi-
nation, the Roosevelt name won't help
him; it will hurt MIN. If he is nomi
mated there will come vicious millions
of money to defeat him. AS against
this yellow peril, even a Roosevelt en-
dorsement might be found insufficient
1t is one thing TO vote for Mr.. Roose
welt, another to vote with him, truth
which would find demonstration were
| the test TO be made.

Roosevelt, should think on these
things, before venturing too far upon

but way down deep in their stomachs
they know they've got it.
I'D love to eat it, but can't" is one
kind Of dyspepsia.
Il hate to think of it," is another
kind. There are thousands of people
today who hate their meals, and love
them at the same time. They haven't
that fine empty hungry, eat-every-
thing-in-sight kind of feeling which
goes with every good strong healthy
stomach. That's because they have
dyspepsia. And then there are others
whose mouths don't water at meal time
or at any other time. They sit at the
table and go through the motions,
only because it's time to eat. These
people, too, are dyspeptics.
Every possible kind of stomach
trouble can be cured by taking some
thing which will just take right hold
of all the food in your stomach and di-
gest it alone without the help of the
stomach, and let the stomach take a
rest.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do this
very thing. They are composed of the
best digestive known to science, and
are absolutely safe. One ingredient
alone of one of these tablets will digest
5000 grains of food. These tablets
do exactly the work that good strong

G.. Scott Payne or Brazil, who is out
for the republican nomination for the
Vigo-Clay joint senatorship, is making
an unusually strong reform plea to the
people in his canvass. Mr.. Payne is
great believer in the anti-liquor SEN
timent which is growing in Indiana,
and he would do everything in his
power to further temperance legisla-
ton if he was elected to the state SEN
ate.
Now that Howard Maxwell of Rock
vile has been chosen as the republican
nominee for congress in the Fifth dis
trict there is much talk upon the ques-
ton of who the democratic nominee
will be. Claude G. Bowers of Terre
Haute, who made two unsuccessful at
tempts to take away Congressman Hol-
lidays seat in Congress, is prominently
mentioned for the place, but Mr.. Bow
ers doesn't seem TO be making any par
ticular effort to be nominated. He is
member of the Terre Haute Board
of Works under the administration of
Mayor Lyons and appears to be salts
fled.
William Jennings Bryan wnH be the
principal speaker at the annual ban
quet of the Jackson club of Indiana
university, if the present plans OF Paul
G.. Davis of Indianapolis, president OF
the club are carried out. Mr.. Davis
already is making preliminary arrange
ments for the banquet. and he has
started by making an effort to get the
Nebraskan to speak to the students. In
addition the various democratic nom
inees for state offices, who will have
| been named by March Is, will be invit-
ed to be present and respond to toasts
1t is generally conceded in the Sec
ond district that Cyrus E. Davis oi

cratic congressional nomination. They
are regarded as the strongest candi
dates for the nomination, and there are

Benefit OF New Rules.

The new rules will be of greater ben
eft to the players, as they will not go
out on the field in that mechanical way
which characterized the old teams. The
players must assume responsibility, for
in a great measure they will be thrown
on their own resources. OF course the
coach will outline a defense for his
team which he hopes will meet the OPP
ponents' offense, but this cannot be
done definitely as there are so many
plays that one set style of defense will
not meet. This the players win have to
solve themselves. They will have TO
adapt themselves to the existing con-
ditions and this will make them be on
the alert at all times, expecting to
meet any kind of a play
