FORAKER UPHOLDS own ACTS AND INVOLVES JUDGE TAFT
Ohio Senator Declares No Self Respecting
Rooseye Recent

mo self respecting negro, reading
what Judge Taft says in his letter and
adding to it all that has gone before
can vote for him without feeling that
he is making greater sacrifice than
most men, white or black, is willing
to make"
Cincinnati. Ohio, Sept. Ex-senator
Joseph B. Foraker has issued state
ment in which he defends himself
from the charges of William R.. Hearst
and arraigns the president and Mr..
Taft for acting on the accusations.
He goes into a review of his connec-
ton with Standard Oil, denying any
Illegal acts, denied all the Hearst
charges, and reviews his career in the
senate. He also mentions a time when
Roosevelt. on Mr.. Taft's endorsement
appointed a Standard Oil attorney to
ia federal judgeship.
Not Given n Chance.
Senator Foraker declares Mr. Taft
accepts Hearst's charges as true with.
out investigation, and that he will ac
cept no proof when offered. He ad
mits he was employed by the Stand
ard Oil company, but adds that his
employment was confined to the af
| fairs of the company in Ohio and its
reorganization after the trust was dis
solved by order of the state supreme
court, and that his employment had
no relation to anything in which the
| federal government was then interest
\ ed, or with respect to which the con
gress was then legislating, or at thai
time proposing to legislate, and that
| the employment was ended long be
fore that company was made the sub
ject of any special attention in con
gress.
| Foraker says his employment by the
Standard ended when that concern de
cided to reorganize under the laws o.
New Jersey, which was before the
antitrust and rebate agitation begaI
in the senate. That he was not in
fuenced by his previous employment
in dealing with the trust regulation
he says, was shown by the part he
played in that legislation.
| Says He Aided Prosecution.
| He says he was one of the subcom
mittee of three-Senators Elkins ant
Clapp being the other two members
who considered the Elkins bill in tn,
interstate commerce committee of th'
senate, and after making such amend
ments as in our judgment made it NOR
effective reported it favorably to tn
I1r, nd ~ hn Of G
where it was passed.
Under this statute the attorney ger
Ieral brought. or caused to be brought
all the prosecutions against the Stand
ard Oil company, including the cas-
in which Judge Landis imposed tn
fine of $29,240,OOO.
Il Quotes from Letter.
In support of his claim that h
ceased work for the trust before th
prosecutions began Senator Forake
quotes the following letters:

would not risk embarrassment in the
fight of the people against the special

In his message to Chairman Mack,
Haskell stated in the attack upon him
the president and cabinet had joined

welcome the attack and shall meet it

shall treat them all as private citizens

Deafness cannot be Cured

by local application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There Is only n way to cure deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the lin
ing Of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness Is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation can
be token out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is
nothing but an infiamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.
