NEGROES AGAINST TAFT.
Statement by the Rev J. Milton Wal
 dron, Head of Political League.

The Rev J. Milton Waldron, presi- dent of the National Negro American Political league, with headquarters in Washington, D. C., has issued the fol- lowing statement:
 The National American Political league has no idea of quitting the field, nor has it relinquished one whit of it's opposition to the Roosevelt policies" and to Mir Taft, President Roosevelt's nominee for the presiden- cy on the republican ticket. The off, cers and members of our league are republicans not for office and graft, but by choice and training, and we went to Chicago with the ayowed purpose of heartily supporting the re- publican party, should it return to the principles upon which it was found ed.
 But, when, on reaching Chicago, we found that more than two-thirds of the delegates to the convention were ofiee-holders, appointed by President Roosevelt. and pledged to carry out his policy of destroying all those who oppose him, whether they were good men or bad, in the right or in the wrong-and when we learned from statements repeatedly made by MT Roosevelt's representatives at the convention that he had decided to recognize the lilly white faction" in the party with the avowed purpose of eventually eliminating the negro from politics in the south in the hope of building up there strong republi- can party, and when no efforts on our part nor on the part of the old line white republicans could induce MT Roosevelt's delegates to pledge the party to reinstate the discharged ne- gro soldiers who are innocent of par ticipation in the shooting up of Brownsville, we decided, after re- peated and lengthy conferences with the more than two hundred repre- sentatives assembled in Chicago from all parts of America, to oppose with all our might and main the election of William H. Taft to the presidency of the United States.

 The ten days during which the two little derelicts lived from hand to mouth ended when they were picked up at Hudson and Leroy streets on Monday. When the boy appeared be- fore Judge Wyatt and was asked:
 Why did-you leave home?"
 Then he told his story. The court said that the Catholic protectory seemed to be the best place to send him. and the boy at once eagerly asked if there would be any chance for him to make some money there. Why do you want to know that?" asked the court.
 Sos I can make enough to have the dog taken care of till I get out, !" said the youthful prisoner.
 The magistrate told him that there would be no chance for him to make money at the protectory, but that he would see that the dog was sent to the Bide-aWee home for dogs. where he would be properly cared for.- New York Herald.

In the campaign ahead of us, Judge Taft will not say hareh or unkind word about Mir Bryan per sonally; we are all taking it for granted that MT Bryan will use the language of a gentleman when he speaks of Judge Taft.

TEA AS 4 SUMMER DRINK.
Properly Brewed and Iced, it Be.
 cannes Fit for the Gods.

ETOpefiy DFeWe0 anu lCeu, IL bt' cannes Fit for the Gods.
 From a Letter in the New York Times.) .tst; Every summer in our large cities excessively hot weather drives the | perspiring masses to quench their thirst with various drinks including alcoholic as well as non-alcoholic 1 beverages. Of the latter there is nc end. But of all the cooling drinks we American people ignore the ons drink which should be the national drink during the summer months, viz, hot or cold tea.
 There is absolutely no drink more refreshing, more invigorating or more healthful, if properly made. do everything in a hurry; we bolt our food, and as result are fast becoming nation of dyspeptics-- gastric neurasthenics.
 The making of tea, although ap- parently simple proposition, is, as a rude, an unknown art in the United States. Simply because of absolute ignorance or lack of the necessary patience. ..-.s... s ,'-.... -> . The brewing of tea requires fresh water that has come to furious boil. sleeping five to nlne minutes. then pouring the liquid off the tea leaves into another pot = three simple yet precise requirements absolutely essential. If tea is per- mitted to continue to steep indefi- nately the drinker imbibes tannic acid. Tea thus made is tea no more. but becomes a vile decoction, nauseous, melodorous drink, frightfully injurious and unhealth- ful.
 For iced tea follow the simple di- rections and with the addition of a small slice of lemon it makes an ap- petizing, delicious. cooling drink fit for the gods. But. of course, good tea is necessary, and Formosa Co., long tea preferably, although that is matter of taste. Iced tea should be obtainable in every place where drinks are sold.
 Lord Kitchener. in the severe cam paign in the Soudan, permitted no intoxicating drinks, directing that only tea, hot or cold, be served to his officers and men. recognizing the Zulu as an exceptionally willy foe, requiring clear brain and a never ending alertness to defeat him. It is on record that he was thanked for
 N'" command by his officers and men.
 ais is the about the finest com pliment on record as to the efficacy of tea as a harmless beneficial stim- ulant for invigorating tired brain and brawn.

There is no question but what Lieutenant Governor Lake is entitled to the nomination for governor, if Governor Woodruff is not favored with another term. Business men of Waterbury. whether republican or democrat acknowledge that Lake hav- ing served his time as lieutenant gov ernor is entitled and deserving of the promotion. A Waterbury man that wants to be fair and honorable would not think of snubbing him for no cause other than that there is a Wa terbury politician looking for the place. And we know of at least two republicans that think this way about the Lilley-Lake controversy, so that the statement that there Is only one can be taken with a grain of salt. This is a bad year to overthrow long standing customs. and if the demo- crats are wise and put the right men forward this fall, Taft, Lilley and the others will be shy many thousands of votes when the returns have all been counted.

THE BOY AND THE DOG
Young New Yorker Shared His All
 With Strayed Pup.

Rather than desert friendly fox terrier he had picked up in the streets and which his father would not allow him to keep at home, II year-old Henry Harff of No '63O Greenwich street, left home ten days ago. and for more than a week shared pot luck with his new-found friend, dividing with him what food he could obtain and sleeping in cellars and doorways.A complaint from the boys father, John Harff, fish peddler, to the Children's society led to the boy being taken before Judge Wyatt, in the children's court.
 Henry said he was coming home one day, when he noticed he was be- ing followed by a small fox terrier. The throwing of numberless sticks had no effect in frightening the animal away, for the walf merely sat on his launches and cooked his head to one side in an inquiring fashion.
 That, Henry told Judge Wyatt, set tied the matter and he took the dog home, hoping against hope that his father would consent to having him in the house. Mir Harff, however,

A TREACHEROUS TROUBLE.

The headaches and dizzy feelings that trouble so many persons, are often but symptoms of kidney com plaint.
 Kidney diseases are very treacher- ours. They come on silently, gain ground rapidly, and cause thousands of deaths that could have been pre- vented by treatment in the beginning.
 Nature gives early warnings of every disease. if you would but note and heed them. Backsches. twinges of pain when stooping or lifting. headaches. faint spells and urinary disorders are among the first warn ings of kidney trouble.
 If these signals are upheeded, there comes a steady. dull heavy aching in the back and loins. a noticeable weakness and loss of flesh. rheumatic attacks. weakening of the sight. ir- regular heart action, languor. attacks of gravel. irregular passages of the kidney secrefions. sediment painful scslding sensation, dropsical bloatiDg, etc.

Whether the proposed advance of 10 per cent in freight rates is being used as part of big stock market speculation or not remains to be seen. says Banker Ciews. It is very certain that an advance of this amount in freight rates alone would add enormously to the revenue of the railroads. According to Poor's Manual the freight earnings of Amer ican railroads last year were S1,- 825, 5,0O0,000. Ten per cent of this amount would mean over $1S0,000,- 900 increase in revenue. Net earn ings last year on freight and 'passen- gers amounted to $S23,G00,0O0. It is but reasonable to expect that the volume of traffic will shortly begin to increase, in fact, it has done so already as shown by the smaller number of idle cars. The railroads have already put into effect many inn portant economies, and while ex- penses had been enormously in creased by high wages, and high ma terials, still the roads should now be receiving the benefit of lnporve- ments made for economical results. Of course the railroads would soon be in a critical position if present conditions were maintained. What with outlays forced upon the rail- roads, partly to satisfy public opin- ion, and party to meet the obliga- tions of growing traffic, and what with the growing difficulties of suit ably financing the roads, it must be conceded that railroad managers have grave problems with which to deal. The railroad question, how ever, is a many sided one, and can not be settled purely from the rail- road standpoint. Public interests will have to be considered, ard it will also have to be recognized that an advance in freight rates is not the most likely method of stimulat- ing a revival in traffic, which after all is the one thing really needed. If the advances in rates now contem- plated are really put into effect and maintained, the year 1909 may easily become far more profitable one for the railroads than even 1907.

simple souls, says one writer, should know that the packers combine still exists and is evidently making up for, the fines they paid by charging greater profits. For whereas the packers combine was openly con- ducted both as to the control of the market for cattle and the wholesale price of meat, it is now run as "gentleman's agreement and Brother Armour or Swift sets the price for cattle and meat from day to day. There are those unkind enough to say that there is truce between the administration and the packers. and that in lieu of more prosecutions and fines the packers will be liberal contributors to the republican campaign fund. Those e publican voters who feel the pinch of hard times and nigh prices for beef and other trust products will have to put up with such pecuniary troubles for the sake of the party"
