We think that the Roosevelt dy-

the servant of all the people, ana
should let others run the polltlcal

self should be kicked out of his hlgh

"McLaurfn was a Tillmanite of the

owes much to him. McLaurin
never was a Tillmanite. He was
simply a coat-tail swinger, and, like
many others, he knitted Tillman when
he could no longer stay in office

Uneven But Brilliant Fight.

if it be not that Ehey regard him az
the most formidable candidate in
the field and are comprising heaven

to all the tricks known to politicians

his favor. ''---.".'' ''"'' -
''The President has descended from
his high estate and sought to asperse
his character by trying to make it
appear that he knowingly chose for
treasurer of the Democratic cam
paign a man who could secrue funds
from trusts and corporations.
Hughes, on the other hand, says Mr..
Bryan not being a judge of men al
lowed himself to be deceived as to
the character of Haskell, and that,
if elected president, he would make
such mistakes when it came to fill

the wind is blowing. Their united
attack on Mr.. Bryan shows 1t, and
this to us seems the most promising
sign of Democratic success. And how

manner. Roosevelt has been forced

Asks the Tax Commission for a Re

The state tax commission is still
busy hearing complaints, or rather pro-
tests, from the judgment OF the coun-
ty board of equalization over the state
on tax assessments. Today repre-
sentatives of the Mcpherson Telephone
company, the Hutchinson Interurban
Railway company and the" Topeka
Street Railway company were before
the board in an effort 20 get reduc-
ton in their assessments. In the cases
of these public utilities corporations
which were assessed by the tax COM
mission itself, this second hearing Is
not compulsory by law, but was grant
ed by the commission as an accommo-
dation. -f
About one hundred protests have
been filed from over the state in the
form of appeals from the county
boards Of equalization, an average of
one from each county. However, at
least a score of counties are not rep
resented at all in the list of protests,
there being several counties with
more than one complaint. $50
From most counties. besides the dis
satisfied taxpayer, there is a county

ly the assessor or county. clerk. or one

decision on these protests has not yet

IN THE INTEREST OF HEALTH
Benzoic Acid and Benzoate of Soda
Should Not BE Used.

washington. July 2z.-"In the in
terests of health, both benzoic acid
and benzoate of soda should be ex-
cluded from foods
This is the conclusion of DR.. Har-
vey Wiley, chief of the. bureau of
chemistry of the department of agri-
culture, after a prolonged investiga-
ton to determine the effect upon the
human system Of these preservatives.
The chemicals were given in various
kinds of foods to DIR. Wiley's so-called
poison squad and he declared that
Their use IS highly Objectionable and
produces very serious disturbances of
the metabolic functions, attended
with injury to digestion and health.
He declares that the investigation is
of special Importance because of the
opinion held by many manufacturers,
food officials and consumers that
benzofc acid and benzoates are prob
ably the least harmful of any of the
preservative substances employed.
The results of these Investigations,
DR.. Wiley states, have shown that
there Is not single article of food
which has been preserved by means of
these preservatives such as cider,
grape Juice, mince meat, jelly, jams,
catsups preserves, etc, which cannot
be preserved and offered to the con-
sumner in perfect condition without the
aid of any preservative.
