According to the members Of the

the heavy expense for road and

levy. At present there are warrants
outstanding on the road fund and the
amount estimated for that fund for

The levy is segregated as follows:

proposes and the substance Of what he asks
American Workmen to do is this:
Vote for Bryan and he Will destroy the
protective tariff, which secures to Amer
lcan workmen the fair wages and fair con-
ditions they need, and as a substitute for
good wages and fair conditions Mr.. Bryan
will advocate the enactment of a measure
outla wing American business, a thing no
honest American workman wants. This de-
mand is one which Mr.. Gompers says Mr..
Bryan has made his own.
Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Gompers indulge in
Ill natured and irrelevant attacks upon the
president and me, but what have they said
about Mr.. Bryan advocating outlawing the
right to do business and legalizing the
blacklist and the secondary boycott? Moth
ing.
The president and ] are not asking for
the votes of the people, and therefore ] re-
fuse to follow Mr., Bryan and Mr.. Gompers
into the realm of untruthfulness and irrel-
eVant assertion.
As / was never attorney for the Steel
trust or the Pennsylvania railroad, and
never exchanged a syllable with Mr.. Prick
on the subject of the legislation to which
Mr.. Bryan has referred, l will simply re-
vert to the question in which the people
Mr.. Bryan, promise Mr.. Gompers to sup
port the Pearre bill?"
Mr.. Taft entertains no impossible theories
of government, as Mr.. Bryan does, to which
the peoples interests must be bent and
fitted, else shattered and destroyed.
He will be better satisfied to achieve his
policies than vociferouslv proclaim them.
His policies are not like those of Mr..
Bryan, a matter of geography. He is not
endeavoring to conceal in one section of the
country what he Is p~roclaiming In another.
He is just a straightforward, capable,
stable and experienced statesman; the type
we love to point to as Americas best
product.

PRINCIPLES ABOVE PARTIES
Rabbi COhn Delivers Address at

Prediction study"

principles are above policies, parties or
persons said Rabbi Cohn at Temple
Israel last night during the course of hts
address on "Politics-A Prediction
Study"
Politics in its highest sense is the sci
ence and art Of government. Government
We must have If we are to maintain our
civilization. There are those, and. some
of our own fold, who do not believe in
government. red-handed anarchists who
should be suppressed. Politics, rightly UNI
derstood, is a matter of vital import
ance to people who rule themselves. The
conceptions and ideals of the masses de-
eide the character of a government. which
is no better and no worse h the peo-
pie who compose It,"
The rabbi gave an historical survey OF
nations which have flourished at diff
ferent times in the history of the world.
but which have persisted on account Of
internal corruption.
Good government depends on indi-
vfduals, not on fsms' or patent nos
trums." he said. Remedies loudly cried
from the housetops. the creation OF Is
sues and parties. excitement and noise,
none OF these count. II is the integrity
of the ruler that counts"
The rabbi gave IL as his opinion after
careful study and thought that the deep
est comment on government was not in
the works Of Aristotle or other and later
writer's. but is to be found in the book
Of Proverbs: righteousness exalteth a
nation, but sin is a reproach to any peo-

Coroner Brewer took charge of the two

Monday. In the meantime an effort will
be made to locate relatives aud acquaint-
ances of the men and further to identify
Jots, whose name on the hotel register is
the only clue to his identity at the present
time.
Jots is described as having been five feet
seven inches tall, Weighing about 40
pounds, with a small face, blue eyes, dark
hair and complexion and wearing blue
overalls and dark clothes.
The fact that the room occupied by the
two men was left unlocked, although It
might have been locked il they had so

Dyspepsia Really Is. Then

This affection, called Dyspepsia, is the

pepsia thus: The first form due 10 rela-

morbid and unhealthy state, which is
characterized as a reflex action. OF such
a type is the nausea and vomiting caused
by irritation of brain, lungs, liver or
uterus.
The second form is caused by scanty
supply of gastric juice, made evident by
slowness of digestion, long retention OF
food in the stomach, distress for a long
time after meals, accompanied by weigthy
and uneasy feelings at pit OF stomach,
decomposition of food in alimentary ca
nal causing fetid and foul gases and the
appearance OF ~undigested food in the
excavations from the bowels.
The third and last form of dyspepsia.
according to this renowned medical light,
is that which accompanies some abnormal
quality of the gastric juice, combined
with a partial paralysis Of the stomach's
muscles so that this organ cannot suffi-

NEW YORK, Oct. 3i.-College cries as
plaudits. punctuating the addresses of the
speakers, and college flags waved franti-
cally upon the same frequent provocation-
these were the dominating features of a
unique political rally held in Carnegie hall
tonight under the auspices of the National
Republican College league. The hall was
crowded with college men and women,
gathered from this city and many college
towns I'm the east. The crowd cheered
vociferously at every mention Of Taft and
Hughes.
Former Governor Blacks speech was
warmly eulogistic of the candidates. There
were passages in it, however, that the audi
ence evidently took for implied criticism of
President Roosevelt. and cries OF disap-
prevail were followed by a palpable effort
10 head the speaker off when he seemed
to the audience to be intending indulgence
in further criticism OF some administration
policies. The cheer leaders sprang on their
chairs and with their yells spelled the name
OF Roosevelt. Again and again the name Of
the president was taken up. and strung into
the cheers. For several minutes the place
was In an uproar. 1t gradually died down,
however, and Governor Black resumed.
Another demonstration occurred when
Walter Emerson of Portland, Me-, was in
troduced to follow Mr.. Black. When he
asserted his belief that the present admin

this country, the cheers that greeted the ut
terance lasted two minutes The college

were Roosevelt, - Roosevelt"
Former Governor Black was greeted with
applause when he was announced as the

go higher than yet recorded on the

On the warrant plan, the war
rants were drawn against the
crematory fund as it accrued. AS
the department has not profited
thus far to any extent, the war
rants were. worth little, as there
was no prospect of sufficient funds
in the department for long time.
The warrants would not pass for
their face value. Workingmen
were compelled to accept dis

Judge Sullivan held that the in

ages for improper medical treat
ment In the case of broken

tiff's own negligent acts in becom-

clan, and the suit was accordingly
thrown out.
