Doleful news about an early adjourn

around for long time. July has now
been substituted Just what the Presi-
dent thinks of the prospects he has evil

republican. he cannot afford to express
too much glee over tactics of democratic
leaders that seem to be forcing his own
party into line for legislation he has re-
peatedly urged should be put through at
this session.
John Sharp Williams has not consulted
the President as to his plans. and about
the only democrat who has conferred
with the President lately has been Repre-
sentative Hobson, who hobnobs with the
chief executive almost daily. These chats.
however, deal with the harmonious de-
sfres of the President and Mr.. Hobson to
secure at least four battleships at this
session of Congress. Mr.. Hobson happens
TO feel that he is a sort of first lieutenant
to the President in this particular Line of
work.
Their ideas have long been in unison.
and the Alabama statesman has no more
objection to joining with the President
than the latter has to joining with him.
Mr.. Hobson was on hand today. accom-
panied by Hayne Davis, president of the
North Carolina Peace Society, which is to
hold a congress in May at Wilmington,
and which has invited the President to at
tend. The President has not given final
answer, but will probably not be able to
attend. although stated to be in full SYM
pathy with the plans and purposes Of the
society, which he promises to aid in ex-
tending its organization throughout the
country.

With a theory that human health is
dependent on the stomach and with a
medicine which he says proves this
theory, L. T. Cooper, a comparatively
young man, has built up an immense
following during the past year.
Cooper has visited most OF the lead
Ing cities of the country, and in each
city has aroused storm of discussion
about his beliefs and his medicines.
Wherever he has gone, people have
called upon him by tens Of thousands,
and his preparation has sold in i'm

The sale of this medicine has now
spread over the entire country, and is
