Taft has been doing. The democratic cam
didate is an accomplished orator and lee
turer, but not a constructive statesman.
He has taken up all kinds of fallacies for
campaign use as paramount issues. In 1896
1t was free silver, in 1900 1t was imperialism.
In 1900 Bryan said that Roosevelt's cleo
ton was advocated by the trusts that ex-
pected to profit by It. Today he proposes
the guarantee of bank deposits, another
impractical scheme which is used to catch
votes.
GRAND ISLAND-The committee on ar
engagements of the Frontier and Harvest
festival. has all arrangements In good shape
for the big event of next week. Wednes-
day, 1t is expected, will be the big day, as
an additional large number of people will
no doubt be attracted to the city for the
address of Governor Hughes of New York.
AS this address is booked for l o'clock, both
events are believed to help each other by
way of securing attendance. Governor
Hughes will come to Grand Island on a
special over the Burlington and will leave
at 8 o'clock on a special over the st. Joseph
& Grand Island for Hastings. where he will
speak in the evening. The Frontier COM
mittee has secured special train service so
that, in connection with the regular trains,
visitors can reach home in the evening,
west and east on the Burlington, north on
the Ord branches, south on the st. Joseph
e. Grand Island, and east and west on the
Union Pacific.

DELIVERY OF LABOR VOTE
President of Boston Printers Union
Says In Absurd and
Impossible.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Declaring taht 1t
would be suicidal to the labor movement
for any man or set of mem to deliver the
vote of organized labor to any party, Presl-
dent Norman E. McPhail OF the Boston,
Mass, typographical union, has written a
letter TO Chief Willis l.. Moore. of the
United States weather bureau declaring
that the labor vote as a body cannot be de-
livered.
The letter follows:
Dear Mr.. Moore: In reply to the question
you ask me will state that in my opinion
the vote OF organized labor Of this country,
as a body. will not, should not and can
not be delivered to any particular party
by any man or set of men. To allow such
a thing would be suicidal to the labor
movement of the country. Member of the
labor movement, as citizens, have the right
to carefully consider the platforms and
promises OF the different parties and should
vote as they believe the broadcast and best
interests of our country lie. There can be
no objection TO this from any source. To
claim that any man or set of men, as bla-
zOned forth In the newspapers, will de-.
liver the vote Of organized labor to any
party is as absurd as it is an impossibility.
Sincerely yours,

TRAVELLERS AGREED UPON LAWS
United Body FavOrs Acts Proposed By
Nebraska Organization.


Nebraska Organization.
HASTINGS, Neb, Oct. 2-(Specisl)-W.
p. McCreary, counsel for the Nebraska
Travellers association, has announced that
representatives of the United Commercial
Travellers and the Travellers Protective as
ISOLATION nave approved the proposed legis-
lation recently endorsed by the Nebraska
Travellers association at its first annual
convention here.
The matter was taken up in conference
at Omaha and Mr.. McCreary reports that
approval was unanimous. One bill provides
that all lodging houses and hotels that are
three stories or more in height and have
fifteen rooms above the first floor. shall
be equipped with fire escapes. Violation
of the law will be a misdemeanor. punish
able by fine, and there will be provision
for penalty in case of delay in the con-
struction Of a fire escape after the owner
of the building has been convicted. To
each fire escape must be attached a sta
tionary metal tube. to which fire hose may
be fastened, in order to carry water to the
roof without hosting hose. The measure
provides for annual inspection by the deputy
commissions of labor, or persons appointed
by him, the total cost OF this annual in
s~pection not to exceed $4,000 per year.
Another bill provides for sanitary regula-
ton. 1t seeks to require sewer connec-
tons wherever service is available. An
interesting feature OF the measure is the
provision that bedsheets in hotels and
boarding houses shall be 0 feet long. Trav-
cling men aver that this requirement is
not designed in the interest of persons with
"cold feet" but purely as a sanitary meas
ure. Penalties are also provided for vio-
lation of these requirements and for delays
, after conviction. Annual inspection will be
required, the same as under the fire-escape
law, but the total amount to be paid for
such inspection shall not exceed $4,000
per year.

Dogs and FIeas.

I have tried all sorts of soaps and So
lutions for killing feas on dogs. with
the result that the dogs die first. Now,
feas are as much part of a dog as
ticks are of COW. But, of course, there
must not be too many feas on tie fam
lily pet-just enough to. keep it well
ttickled and to prevent it from becom-
ing too phlegmatic. There seems to be
but one cure, and it comes from the
land Of fieas-India. The Hiudoos use
a crude oil emulsion, which consists Of
so per cent of crude petroleum mixed
with 20 per cent of whale oil soap
This combination forms a jelly which
mixes freely with water. A per cent
solution is used. At. 10 per cent it kills
heas with perfect certainty Any ami
NAL washed with it will be relieved of
the insects. 1t can be applied to walls,
ceilings and floors by means Of a gar,

When Umbrellas Were First Used.

When Umbrellas Were First Used
Umbrellas are OF great ANTIQUITY.
Among the Greeks they were II mark
of elevated rank, and one is seen on
Hamilton vase In the hands Of prin-
cess. We find the umbrella figured
upon the ruins Of Persepolis. and the
Romans carried it at the theater to
keep off the sun. Yet Coryate, the
traveller. in 1911 notices the umbrellas
Of Italy g rarities. These and other
umbrellas are only described for keep
ing off the sun. which may be explain
ed by the comparative scarcity OF rain
in the above countries. The frequency
of rain in other lands led to their being
used for very different purpose. Jonas
Hanway is described to have been the
first to walk the streets of London with
an umbrella over his head, which he
had probably used in his travels in the
east And in ITS one John Macdon-
aid, footnan, was ridiculed for carry
ing in the streets an umbrella which
he had brought from Spain. However,
as he tells US. he persisted for three
months in carrying his urn brella, till
people took no further notice of the
novelty.
