STANDS ON PLATFORM.
Uncle Joe Says He Is for Revision of
the Tariff

Chicago Nov. 24.-Jos. G. Cannon,
speaker of the house of representatives
placed himself on record before leaving
for Washington in favor of a revision
of the tariff in accordance with the
promise of the Republican party plat
form and declared that so far as his vote
was concerned he would see to it that
the announced policy of revision would
be written in the national laws as soon
as possible. The words of the speaker
came at the conclusion of a luncheon
given to six rear admirals of the United
States navy by Alexander H. Reveu of
Chicago in the Union League club. at
which the need of more battleships and
increased efficiency of the fighting
forces of the republic were the principal
themes of discussion. On the tariff
question, Speaker Cannon said:
ANY change in the revenue laws of
the country of necessity is followed by
a depression of business. Three years
ago 1 followed the lead of Theodore
Roosevelt who declared that there
should be no revision of the revenue
laws, which means the tariff, until
after the next general election. His
policy was not to change existing con-
ditions. The Republican platform on
which the national contest has been
won says revise the revenue laws. That
revision should be with due regard to
protection and penaltv against discrim-
inatory nations. AS a member of the
next house, a coordinate branch of the
government equal to the executive and
the judiciary, am so far as my vote Is
concerned going to see to it that the
policy of the Republican party on this
question is written in the national laws
as promptly possible The laws
should be written promptly, so that
business can adjust itself to changed
conditions, for the change will of
necessity bring disturbances"
Harmony Is Expected.
Washington Nov 24-The arrival of
Speaker Cannon at the capital tomor-
row or not later than Thursday is
awaited by his friends with the belief
that his presence will put an end to the
report that President-elect Taft will
oppose his reelection to the speaker
ship.
The attitude of Speaker Cannon on
tariff is understood to be the principal
objection to his reelection and it is be-
lieved he will make his position so clear
when he arrives that there will be a
complete understanding between him
self and Mr.. Taft in regard to the re-
vision. 1t is understood no arrange
ments have been made for conference
between the two.

LAND SWEPT BARE.
Two TOrnadOeS Sweep Across
Part of Arkansas.
Come Together at One Point
Creating Terrible Havoc.
MANY PERSONS DEAD.
Property Loss Runs Into Hun.
dredS of Thousands.
Whole Forests of Trees Torn
Out by the Roots.

Little Rock, Ark. Nov. 24.-What
the actual conditions are in western
Arkansas where it is known there are
many dead, several score injured and
many penriless victims of the two tor
nadoes which swept through that por-
ton of the state late yesterday is
matter largely of conjecture. Although
large forces of men have worked
through last night endeavoring to es-
tablish communication with that sec
ton their work this morning is still
incomplete.
The number of fatalities has been
conservatively estimated at 80, al
though reports from several sources
declare that the death list will ag-
gregate so, with much of the storm
swept territory to be heard from.
No estimates are made as to the
property loss. Judging from all re-
ports received thus far, however, it
will go into the hundreds of thou
sands. Miles upon miles of land have
business houses, churches, and every
thing have been demolished alike in
many communities. Several dispatches
say that whole forests of trees were
buildings that were not dem olished
were lifted from their foundations and
twisted around. That the loss of life
would not be enormous under such
circumstances would be considered re-
markable.
From all reports there appears to
have been different tornadoes, one
starting from the south and the other
from the north, both dipping to the
earth at intervals and apparently
meeting in the central western part of
the state where the most damage has
been reported.
The town of Piney, a German set
tlement on the Iron Mountain railroad,
suffered the most according to reports
received thus far. Reports are to the
effect that a number of people are be-
lieved to have been killed. The num-
Der of dead is variously estimated
from to 20, while one report stated
that all rumors were exaggerated and
that only one person, a girl, was killed.
All the physicians of Knoxville have
left that place for Piney
1t was first reported that the town of
London had been destroyed but upon

About twelve or fifteen years ago,
while living in West Virginia, l had
breaking-out, and it itched and stung so
badly that / could not have any peace
because of it. | saw three doctors and
they did not agree on what it was, so
one of them gave me something that he
called medicine. but called it soda
water. l might just as we'll have
washed in rain-water. Then got some
Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and
Cuticura Resolvent and began to get
better right away. They cured me and
l have not been bothered with the itch
ing since, to amount to anything.
About two years ago / had Ia grippe
and pneumonia which left me with
pain in my side. Treatment ran it into
nv leg, which then swelled and began
to break out. 1t got in pretty bad
shape, so I went to a doctor. He was
afraid it would turn to blood-poison.
I used his medicine but it did no good.
So l sent for another set of the Cuticura
Remedies. / used them three times
and cured the breaking-Out on my leg.
Now 1 won't be without Cuticura.
