Representative Clayton
Talks Good Sense.

o4hS \OQQ oCl4SCs 49,
Representative Clayton, of Alabama,
who is chairman of the democratic
caucus of the house, gave out an in.
terview in Washington ON Monday
which deserves attention. Mr.. Clay
ton declared that it is absurd to be-
lieye the republicans have any idea of
revising the tariff downward, maintain
ing very Justly that it would be quite
as reasonable to expect to gather
grapes from thorns and figs from
thistles as to reap a low tariff crop
from the party whose root Is implant-
ed in soil watered and enriched by
the protected interests.
The following trrm the interview OF
the Alabama congr sssman STRIKES The

t4rest OF the democratic party:

"1he Man of the Hour"

liam A. Brady and Joseph r. Grismer
will offer to the theatergoers at the
Keylor Grand Wednesday night, Octo-
Der %, marks a new era in the history
of the stage. 1t follows none of the
old methods of speech or action. It en-
joys the unique distinction of never
having received single adverse criti-
cism. The unanimous praise of the
New York press burst upon it like a
flood and it's success with the public
was said to be equally spontaneous
and emphatic. In fact it has become
the talk of the town. With no boom
ing of any kind. it ran for two years at
the Savoy theater. It appeals to every
one regardless of age, sex or condi-
ton. 1t has been called "The Dawn OF
Civic Conscience" "A Sermon on
Public Honesty" yet it is no dry ser
mon" It's interest is human and sym
pathetic. It's humor creates peals OF
laughter and has love story of touch
ing tenderness. 1t is aptly termed
THE Play of the Day." Boxes and

ADJUSTMENTS

George AIDE was at the Keylor Grand

tilated for two hours and half over
the house with his clever character
sketching. done as no other author
can do, the people Of the play were
alive Just Out of College" was the
name under which George AIDE ap-
peared to good advantage. Few of the
AIDE plays have made the hit in this
city that the comedy last night did. 1t
is full Of life from curtain to curtain
and dull moments are foreign. Little
plot, perhaps, but who cares? There
was more laugh tied up in the two
hours and a half last night than has
been in any play here this season. 1t
is one of the very best.
Edward Worthington Swinger,
"just out of college" and in "the damn
fool period of his life" was good, very

simply as good as he could possibly
be- AS Carolina ickering,' Ethel

A FAITHFUL LABOR LEADER

Mr.. Samuel GOmperS president of the
American Federation of Labor never
served the cause in which he is enlist
now by urging his associates to sup
port William Jennings Bryan for pres
ident. Mr.. Gompers has been at the
head Of that organization for many
years and he has labOred faithfully
and assiduously to promote the inter-
estS of workingmen. But he has ac-
complished less than he deserved for
the reason that there are recreantS in
every work who are watching oppor-
tunities to betray their cause in con-
sideration of some personal preferment
or political favor.
Mr.. Gompers could have had any Of
flee he desired any time within seven
years if he had intimated a willingness
to sacrifice labor interests. John
Mitchell, recently president of the
United Mine Workers, could have
gone into the cabinet of the presi-
dent if he had shown an inclination to
use his influence with workingmen in
the interest of the republican party.
But these two labor leaders have
proved themselves SUPERIOR to the traf-
f1c in politics and it was never more
clearly proved than it has been during
the present campaign. Samuel Com
pers has refused to be bribed, cajoled
or coerced into the support of a party
that has always been inimical to the
interests of labor.
Wehn the Chicago convention that
nominated Mr.. Taft was in session Mr.
Gompers urged the adoption of an
expression which would hold out the
hope Of justice to workingmen but he
was fatty refused. He went to Denver
convention that nominated Mr. Bry-
an and presented the same re-
quest with the result that to quote
his own language he got all he asked
for Under such circumstances how
could he support the candidates of the
party that spurned labor's just re-
gust and oppose those of the party
which complied with labor's demand ?
No labor leader would ever be trusted
again under such circumstances and
labor man, whether leader or fol-
lower, has something the matter with
him if he does not think with Mr..
GOmperS on that point

BRYAN OR TAFT?

The presidential campaign in the
United States goes merrily on and all
parties are working at high pressure.
To one standing north of the interna-
tional boundary, free from any party
instinctively turns to the two leading
figures, Bryan and Taft.
More and more the world over cleo
tors are calling for the pure and I'M
stained life in those who aspire to high
positions. The old doctrine: measures,
not men, has become obsolete in these
days when personal probity and hon.
or are said to be vanishing virtues
among the average politicians. Meas
ures are vital. But without firm, hon
orable, forceful men to advocate and
carry them into effect, they avail moth
ing. Therefore, it is a matter of the
highest Importance that only the best
men in moral and intellectual worth
be elected.
In Canada. the United States and
the old countries governments reek
with corruption. Take the business
methods of these governments and
note the CRATER element, which toll
not neither do they spin. sucking the
life blood of the country. The remedy
lies in electing men of good repute
and in frequent changes of govern
ment. Some men are proud of their
record which admits of no change of
political ideas or party allegiance.
Others point with pride to their
changed ideas and opinions, in conso-
nance with the ever changing condi-
tons and times of a country. OF these
two classes of voters it will be readily
seen which is the progressive. intel
ligent one and which the blind fol-
lower and partisan.
In the present presidential cam
paign the republican party has all the
prestige of an illustrious president at
its back. Yet more, it has his active
support, which does not seem dignified

association has installed its exhibit

MAKES STOMACH
MISERY VANISH
STOPS FOOD EERMENTiNG AND
RELIEVES DYSPEPSIA IN
FIVE MINUTES.

Take your sour StOmach-Or maybe
you call it Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Gas
tritis or Catarrh of Stomach; it doesn't
matter-take your stomach trouble
right with you to your Pharmacist and
Pape's Diapepsin and let you eat one
22-grain Triangule and see if within
five minutes there is left any trace of
your former misery.
The correct name for your trouble
is Food FermentatiOn-fOod sOuring;
the Digestive organs become weak
there is lack of gastric juice; your
food is only half digested, and you
become affected with loss of appetite,
pressure and fullness after eating,
vomiting, nausea, heartburn, gripping IN
bowels, tenderness in the pit of stOm-
ach, bad taste in mouth, constipation
pain in limbs, sleeplessness, belching
of gas, biliousness, sick headache,
similar symptoms
If your appetite is tickle, and moth
ing tempts you, or you balch gas, or il
you feel blOated after eating, Or your
food lies like a lump of lead on your
stomach, you can make up your MIND
that at the bottom of ali this there is
but one cause-fermentation of undi-
gested food.
Prove to yourself, after your next
meal, that your stomach is as good as
any; that there is nothing really
wrong. Stop this fermentation and be-
gin eating what you want without fear
of discomfort and misery
Almost instant relief is waiting for
you. It is merely a matter of how soon
you take some Diapepsin.

who was selected as the successor to

the director of the exploitation OF the
Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition, will
assume his duties Monday morning. He
will thoroughly reorganize the depart
ment. 1t is understood the resigna-
tons of the entire staff will be tender
ed so that he will be unhampered.
Woods agreement with the officials
is that he shall have absolute control
of the employment of his assistants.
The task is not to be easy because i
very large amount of the appropria-
tions for the exploitation purposes has
been spent. Up to rae time ne left

tion officials deny Reeds statement
that they signed a contract providing
that he be paid as much salary as any
