WEATHER CONDITIONS.
Report Of Section Director for Week
Ending July ~.


Following is summary OF wealth
err conditions in Texas for the week
ending July q, as reported by Sec
ton Director Bunnemeyer Of Calves
ton:
Showers occurred daily during the
past week in some portion of the
state. The amount OF precipitation,
however, was considerably less than
the normal, except over several linn
tied areas. A large number of scat
tered counties received no rain or
in appreciable amounts only. The
precipitation was heaviest in Ellis
county, with 1.52 inches, while
Hardeman, Grayson, Gregg, Colora-
do and Harris Counties received
over one inch each, but less than
1 SO inches.
The mean temperature was nearly
normal in the southeastern half of
the state, and from two to five de-
grees below IN the northwestern. In
many counties, however, the wealth
er was cloudy and sultry, which
caused the heat to be oppressive
The highest temperatures reported
ranged from Sc degrees at Amarillo
to 101 degrees at Greenville, and the.
lowest from 81 degrees at Amarillo
and Kerryille to 76 degrees at Gal
weston.
| During the corresponding week of
| the previous year the weather was
| unusually warm and dry in all por-
! tons of the state.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness and that Is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
inflamed condition OF the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound of imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition OF the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

The Republican principle that the
benefits of the public service should,
as far as possible, be extended to all
classes and all communities without
discrimination, Is conspicuously eX-
emplified In the rural free delivery
system instituted by the Postoffice
Department during tho administra-
tion of President Mckinley. That
system was established in recognition
of the plain fact that the farmer, liv-
Ing remote from the nearest post
Office, is entitled to the free delivery
OF his mail equally with the business
man residing in the city, and the
success which has attended its OPP
Grafton affords conclusive evidence
of its wisdom and utility.
The development of the rural free
delivery service is one of the most
remarkable achievements of the Post
Office Department. Beginning in
1897 as an experiment with deliver
les on cighty-three routes, it has
been extended rapidly year by year,
the service on June so, 1908, covering
1920 routes and providing free de-
livery for more than 100000 per-
sons. That is to say, that in the
short space of eleven years, the free
mail delivery system has been ex-
tended to something like twenty
per cent. Of the total population of
the United States. Could there be
any more striking testimony to the
efficiency and practical business
methods of Republican administra-
ton?
The value of this service 20 the
farmers is almost incalculable. 1t
has not only relieved them of the
discomfort of frequent journeys to
distant postoflices, but has placed
them in close reach with market con-
ditions, thus enabling them to dis
pose of their products to the best ad-
vantage, and done much to promote
the neighbOrhood and relieve farm
life Of the sense of isolation which
has been one of its greatest hardships.
Moreover, in scores of farming COM
munities the rural free delivery SER
vice has given q powerful impetus to
the good roads movement" with
the result that many thousands of
miles of improved highway have been
constructed. These modern roads,
affording the farmer easier access
to market, have increased the value
of his land, thus enabling him to
build better buildings, better fences
every community to which the rural
free delivery service has been extend
ed the farmer has profited by it. He
is more distinctly a business man
than ever before and life is far more
attractive and less laborious for him
self and his family.
The farmers know that the rural
free delivery service is a creation of
Republican policy. They are per-
fectly aware that it was devised by
and in accordance with the Republi-
can craftsmanship which has provid-
ed cheap postage, encouraged the
spread of education and enacted
every measure of existing law to
maintain the dignity anC advance the
interests of agricultural industry.
No single branch of the public service
appeals more strongly to the farmers
of the country in behalf of continued
Republican administration than this
admirable feature of the postal sys-
tem

ORGANIZED
LABOR FOR TAFT
All That the Law Abiding Wase-Earner
Asks For is a Square Deal, and He is
Sure Of II From President Taft,

Organized labor has declared itself
for Taft and Sherman and for impair
tial enforcement of and loyal obe-
dience to law. There is no doubt
that the railroad employees of the
ly," said Benjamin e. Chaplin, of
New York, of the Order of Railway
Conductors.
They believe in him. The great
railroad brotherhoods are unalter-
ably opposed to Mr.. Bryan's personal
views on government, ownership of
railroads, and our men are with
Judge Taft in his opposition to that
theory.
I'VE believe, furthermore, that
Judge Taft was right in his injunc-
ton record. The principles he laid
down in his decisions have been in
corporated in the constitution of the
Order of Locomotive Engineers and
in the constitutions of all the other
large railroad train serving organi-
Zations."
Mr.. Chaplin who, with other well
known and estimable leaders of union
labor; +. F. Nickery, also of the Or
der of Railway Conductors; j. S.
Buckley, of the Pennsylvania En-
ployers Association; A. F. Stack
house, of the Order of Railroad Con-
ddctors on the Lackawanna Railroad,
and J. +. Conway, chairman of the
legislative board of the Order of Lo-
comotive Engineers, boarded Mr.
Taft's train and assured him of the
support of the organizations they rep
resented, undoubtedly voiced the
Judgment of skilled and intelligent
union labor throughout the United
States.
The great mass OF union labor is
with Mr.. Taft because it's members
recognize him as capable and impair
tial in his administration of the law,
because they feel that he is in genu-
inc sympathy with labor, and because
they know that Mr. Taft means eX-
actly what he says, and will do just
what he says he will do. All that
law abiding, self respecting labor
asks for is square deal within the
law and according to law, and that it
is certain to get at the hands of Pres
ident Taft.

GRATITUDE OF RELIGIOUS
SEcTS TO TAFT

John r. Mott, secretary of the In
ternational Committee of the Young
Mems Christian Association, a stanch
Methodist and a worker who, by his
energy and ability, has accomplished
wonders for his association in many
parts of the worlds praised highly
to-day the aid which Judge Taft gave
to religious organizations in the
Philippines. He was aided greatly,
he said, by letter of introduction
which Taft, as Secretary of War, gave
him when he went to the Philippines
to raise money with which to help
in constructing Y. M. c. A. building
in Manila. The committee furnished
more than 100000, while Manila
citizens gave $4,000.
1T is difficult to eXaggerate," said
Mr.. Mott, the Importance of the SER
vice rendered by Judge Taft to the
y. M. c. A. and to the cause of Chris
tian missions in the Far East. His
fair-mindedness and his generous
sympathy have won the hearts and
minds of all persons, of all religions
or no religion, who know what he has
accomplished there.
Anyone who may, like myself,
have questioned the wisdom of the
United States continuing to occupy
the Philippine Islands, would most
certainly entertain an entirely diff
ferent opinion were he to visit these
islands to-day and note the changes
which have been wrought as a direct
result of American occupation and
achievement. Within less than ten
years there has been built up stable
government-insular, provincial and
municipal. A body of laws has been
enacted which challenges favorable
comparison with the statutes of any
country. Ladronism, the curse of the
islands, has been suppressed, and
peace, order and justice prevail.
Sanitary regulations have been in
troduced and enforced to such an ex-
tent that Manila bids fair soon to be-
come thesmost healthful city in the
tropics, Notwithstanding its unfav-
orable location. Millions of dollars
have been invested in substantial ma
terial improvements, especially in
Manila. Improved postal and tele-
graphic communication have been III
troduced, and railway and govern
ment read extension is in progress,
As a result of the marvellous educa-
tional developments involving the ac-
NlhIliCS VI llCeil ~ OllC llOuSduu AMER
lean teachers, we are now educating
fully 100000 of the youth Of the ISL
ands, and even more remarkable than
this has been the raising up and
training of over 5000 Filipino teach
ers. The Tagalogs, Visayans, Iloca-
nos and the many other tribes and
peoples scattered throughout over
1900 islands are being unified and
are developing the consciousness of
community of race and the latent
sense of nationality. The dominant
impression made in the mind of any
one who has visited different Colonial
possessions is that in the Philippines
the altruistic motive has thus far
had right of way, and that work
has been accomplished of which we
need not be ashamed. The ideal en-
phasized by Mckinley, Roosevelt,
Root, Schurman, and especially Judge
Taft, that our purpose in the Phil
ippines is not to exploit them, but to
develop, civilize, educate and train
on unselfish lines, has been kept in
mind and is still the great motive

stands in the foremost rank of his
profession as a surgeon and an au-

cf the people in the poorer sections

who are willing to pay handsomely
for his services, he insists upon de-
voting a large part of each day to
hospitals operating upon the poor
who have not money to pay for deli
cate operations that alone can save
their lives. There are hundreds of
his countrymen in the city who speak
gratefully of him as the saver of their
lives and are ready to do anything in
return at his slightest request. Dr.

content in the thought Of having re-
lieved them from suffering.
