Foraker and Sherman.

Mr. Taft refused to assent to a pro-
gram contemplating an Ohio indorse-
meat Of him for president and Foraker
for senator, the reason being that
Foraker had opposed the administra-
tiol,'s rate bill
This was before Taft's nomination.
Afterwards he solicited Foraker's sup
port, secured Foraker's promise to take
the stump for him, and to speak with
him to the National League of Repub-
lican clubs.
Another administration measure
which had the opposition of powerful
interests was the pure food law. A
number of republicans of influence OPP
posed that measure, the beef trusts
representatives among others. The
leader Of the opposition was Congress-
man James Sherman, the same Sher-
man who appears on the ticket with
Taft as candidate for vice president.
Sherman was opposed to the measure
in principle and in detail And he
fought the admins tratiou with all his
vigor.
+ The same Sherman received from the
hands of Hartman the 1855, 600 which
the latter, at Roosevelt's request, SUBJ
scribed in Wall street.
The same Sherman dragged religion
into politics in his 1902 campaign for
congress in letter from the director
of the bureau of Catholic Indian mis-
sions soliciting support for Sherman.
He is the same Sherman who, with
Payne, Dalzell and Cannon has done
more for the trusts in legislative way
than all the other members of the house
of representatives put together.
Remarkable patriot indeed is James
Sherman. Remarkable purist is Taft,
running on the same ticket with this
worse than Foraker. 1t is spectacle
for gods and men to hear from the
Proxy appeals for the support of that
other idealist and unselfish citizen

Deserved His Liberty.

The smartest lunatic who ever es-
capped from an English asylum seems
to be well-known Hadley man.
Wearing a silk hat and frock coat,
he walked into a newspaper office In
Hadley and, after writing a thrilling
story Of how to elude the vigilant at
tendants at the SIaffordshire county
asylum, asked the editor to publish
it. According to his story he waited
for a foggy night and then, after
oosening the screws in his cell win
low. descended to the ground by a
cope ladder. lie then visited Stock
port and the poor law officers to look
over the lunacy law After learning
hat lunatic could not be apprehended
after IA days of liberation unless
4 fresh order should be made out
against him, he gave himself up to I'M
restrained celebration of the new year.
he complained in his story that the
asylum system was too prisonlike and
that it discouraged and depressed him.

JAPANESE SHIP SUNK.
ProieCtile Lets Go In Japanese
Training Cruiser.
CAPTAIN and Most of Officers OF
the vessel are Dead.

The accidental explosion OF a
projectile in her stock magazine
sank the japanese training cruiser
Matsushima with a probable loss
of 200 lives early on April both.
The disaster occurred of the
Pescadore Islands. The captain
and most of the officers of the
cruiser were lost.
1t was at 4:0S a. m. when the
vessel went down almost instantly.
Among the missing and probably
dead cadets, are the sons of Field
Marshal Oyama and Vice Foreign
Minister Baron Chinda.
The Matsushima was protected
cruiser of the first class. The Mat
sushima carried 300 cadets and 80
officers and seamen. The admiral
has reported l41 rescued. More
than 200 have probably persisted.

Heartburn Comes
From the Stomach

The heart is an organ that people ara
not inclined to trihe with, but person
may have futtering of the heart, heart
burn and similar troubles and yet have
IA perfectly sound heart. Nine times
out of ten the disorder comes from the
stomach through dyspepsia, constiba.
lion or some other digestive ailment.
So instead of taking "heart curesn
,r other such things that contain stimulan,a
and narcotics. take harmless but efectivs
remedy like DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsip which
will correct the digestive disorder and In thar
way cure the supposed heart trouble. The remedv
| Is guaranteed TO do this, and you can obtain L
there are about $50 doses to the latter the cure
will cost you but few cents.
The experience of Mrs. Knight OF Belview
Tenn, in this regard should be of interest TO ali
who suffer from heartburn, etc She writes that
for i've years she suffered from Indigestion and
constipation. from fainting spells. auttering at
the heart and heartburn. She couldn't eat meat
or any thing seasoned with meat DR.. Caidwelis
Syrup Pepsin was recommended to her and
after o few doses the indigestion and constpa-
ton was relieved and the fainting spells and
heart trouble soon disappeared She takes Il
dose of the remedy after eating and now ney1f
feels any Ill effects no matter what she eats ft
DO as she did and be cured.
There Is no question that Dr.. Caldwell's Syr-
up Pepsin Is the best tonic laxative and digest
ant at the disposal OF the American people. II
is gentle In action and pleasant In taste. It
never gripes.. II is the ideal remedy for stom-
rs gentle action is especially to be recon-.
mended to children women and others who can
rot stand the violence and gripping of salts

Use for Laurel and sunhower.

People who live in damp localities.
particularly near undrained land, in
France have discovered a simple rem
edy for damp situations. Successful
experiments have shown that it is
possible materially to improve the at
mosphere in such neighborhoods by
the planting Of the laurel and the sun
flower. The laurel gives off an abund-
ance of ozone, while the sunfiower Is
potent in destroying malarial condi-
tons. These two, II planted on the
most restricted scale in a garden or
any ground close to the house, will be
found speedily. to increase the dry
ness and salubrity Of the atmosphere.

The Cause of the Negro.

Senator Warner, in discussing
the Brownsville incident in the
Senate, said:
In the war of 1S61-1S65 /
served in the same command with
negro troops. The surviving vet
Grams of those troops wear with
me, as comrades, the button of the
Grand Army of the Republic, and
certain it is l have no prejudice
against negro soldiers, because l
believe that members of the Twen-
ty-ffth Infantry at Brownsville
disgraced the uniform and stained
the honorable record of their race
as soldiers. Lawlessness is not a
distinguishing characteristic of any
race or color.
1t is to be regretted that stu
dious and systematic effort has
been made to arouse the race feel
ing of the negroes of the country
against the President because of
his action with reference to those
companies. 1t is incredible to me
that any intelligent man, white or
black, should have the hardihood
to charge that the President, in is
suing the order discharging those
soldiers, was influenced against
them by reason of their color.
ITO have these soldiers in the
service with the stain of that crime
resting upon them would have
been criminal. While it is to be
regretted that some of the batal-
lion, who in all probability were
guiltless either as principals or &C
cessories before or after the fact,
came within the order, yet, re-
grettable as that fact is, better this
than a band of lawless raiders
should continue to wear the uni
form of United States soldiers"

Success of Catholic ChurCh--Car.

In New York on April %, a
gathering of Catholic hierarchy
assembled in st. Patrick's Cathe-

the completion of hundred years
of Catholicism in New York. With
two exceptions every archbishop in
the country was there. Cardinal
Gibbons preached the sermon, re-
viewing the history of the church
in New York from 1908 to the
present. He said in part:
IF we investigate the principal
causes of growth and expansion of
this Metropolitan See, we must
acknowledge that under God you

but of all the nations that have
contributed to the upbuilding of
the Church of Christ in the city of
New York you will all avow with
gratitude that the post of honor
must be assigned to the children of
ever faithful Ireland.
They have borne the brunt of
the battle. Whatever may have
been the unhappy causes that have
led to the repatriation of so many
of Ireland's sons and daughters
from their native soil, an over
ruling Providence has made their
exile subservient to higher and
holier purposes.

Canadian immigration.

Canada has been exceedingly
jealous in promoting immigration.
Her vast territory and small popu-
Iation were cited as reasons why
every possible means should be
employed to get new citizens. Be
tween 1896 and 1907 the Govern
ment spent 100000 to advertise
che supposed advantages of Canada
and to invite immigrants to come
IN. These measures had consider
able effect, and large additions were
made to the population, but not 50
great as was desired.
Now there has come a reaction.
During 1907 about 100000 INN =
grants came to Canada from Great
Britain. Their coming was expe-
dited by emigration societies in
Great Britain.
Canada has been paying a bonus
for immigrants and there is a de-
mand that this be abolished. The
trouble seems to be that the immi-
grants, besides being diseased in
some cases, are not of the class
chat is desired.
