Senator Taylor had a good word
for all his colleagues. "They are
treating me fine" he said. He was
exceedingly complimentary in
speaking of all he mentioned.
Senator Joe Bailey, of Texas, is
the greatest man in the Senate, in
his opinion easily. 81 rank him
along with Webster, Clay and Cal

An attempt to accurately meas
ure and equate the values, positive
and negative, in the Patterson-Car
mack opening debate, or to estI-
mate the resultant impressions in
their effect upon the campaign,
would be difficult and premature.
While the issues drawn were well
defined in the speeches made, the
discussion has hardly advanced far
enough to sift the matters in con-
troversy to their closest analysis
and to bring the contestants to the
crucial test of their powers. The
ardent supporters ofthe candidates
on either side are already claiming
an advantage for their favorite,
but these conflicting claims would
be made if one or the other of the
disputants, in the estimation of un-
biased hearers, had won signal
and crowning victory. Partisans
will see and insist upon an advan-
tage won by their candidate, un-
less his discontinue is so pro-
nounced and painful as to make it
impossible of denials.

livered his first speech in the cam

"oUR BOB" SPINS JOKES
A Quiet Hour With His Friends in Nash
ville-The Cardinals Reception.

Senator Bob Taylor, looking the
picture of health, and wearing his
Senatorial toga as unassumingly as
in the days he spent on the Ten
nessee hustings campaigning for
it, and as jolly as ever, is in the
city.
He arrived yesterday morning
from Wartrace, where be deliver
ed a lecture Saturday night, and is
stopping at the Tulane Hotel.
Tonight, at the Ryman audito-
rum, he will deliver his lecture,
"Castles in the Air" with a few
new trimmings, which he has add
ed since it was last heard. Over
1000 tickets have already been sold
for the engagement and as usual
a crowded house will listen to Ten
nessee's idol, her "ApostIe of Sun
shine"
''Castles in the Air." like all the
Senator's lectures, is delightful
concoction of wit, humor and
poetic fancy, but if Senator Bob
would agree to substitute for the
lecture some of his experiences in
Washington, as he related them to
room full of friends last night,
he would make a bigger hit, if
that is possible, than he has ever
done with any lecture.
For two hours he entertained his
listeners in his peculiar and de-
lightful style. 81 have been asso-
ciating with the great men OF

been getting so lately that nobody

"Why, there are several of us in

lQ00," he continued. "Me and Gug-
Spheim are worth 100000, 600,
me and Elkins are worth 500, :

other boys are worth $40, 1000 :

TINE HANDICAPS
FOR AUTO RACERS
Thomas Has Big Advantage
OYer Foreign En-
trantS.

NEW YORK, May S.-American auto
lists express themselves as satisfied with
the arrangements agreed upon by the
committee in charge of the New York to
Paris race, in which a time handicap is
TO be given on account of the change OF
route. Under the new arrangement the
American car will have fifteen days ad-
vantage over the Italian car Zust and
the French De Dion, and thirty days
over the German PrOtos-
Because the route was changed when
the Thomas car had found the Alaskan
passes impossible after the thaw mad
set In, and the other cars by reason Of
having been shipped TO Vladivostok on
an earlier ship than the American car
had more than made up the advantage
which the American had gained in its
race across the United States, the COM
mittee decided 10 make time allowances
in the completion Of the race to equalize
matters.
The German Protos was penahZed an
additional fifteen days because It had
taken trg.I, from Pocatello. Idaho. to
Seattle Tne right OF the cars TO take
a train after reaching Ogden. In order
to reach a particular steamer for Alas
ka. was in question. but the committee
decided IL add the extra penalty.
Leaving Vladivostok the Thomas car
will have fifteen days advantage over
the De Dion and the Zust. and thirty
DAYS over the Protos. while the De Dion
and Zust will have fifteen days advan-
tage over the PrOUOs.

When the Bowels
Become Sluggish with Age

AS we grow old, the bowels become
less active. II is 50 with all our
muscles.
There comes a time when they must
have regular help. Else there is
constant clogging consti-
patton.
Then Cascarets are important.
There is no otherlsxativew which one can
use regularly without ruin to the
digestion.
Salts, pills and drastic cathartics are
irritating. Their regular use is
impossible.
Cascarets alone give the needed help
without injury.
It is a vital thing to keep the bowels
right. One cannot be well withoutit.
One free movement every day is es-
sential.
