ed States Circuit court at Portland
Monday before Judge Hale and sent,
enced to pay a fine of $4,000 and
C )sts. He had the money with him,
o. his attorney did, and paid the fine
and was discharged. This is the
heaviest fine ever imposed in this
court. At the time Terry was brought
before the court a few weeks ago
Judge Hale frankly told him that he
should have imposed a Jail sentence
had the experts and specialists not
said that to commit him to jail would
result in his becoming totally blind,
and might result fatally. In lieu of
the jail sentence Judge Hale gave
Terry the heaviest possible fine he
could impose upon him.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-03-09

There is every indication that the strongest assistants Mir Bryan will have this year are the republicans who are seeking to defeat Mir Taft in the race for the nomination. There is Senator Crane of Massachusetts, for instance. He has gone to Boston to try and prevent delegates being in structed for Taft. Senator Lodge, on the other hand, has come out with a statement to the effect that he is for Taft. Everyone who knows Massa- chusetts is convinced that if these two statesmen once break the combina- tion by which they have so long con- trolled the state, the republican party will go down to defeat in this normal ly republican stronghold, but in the bitterness of their opposition neither Lodge nor Crane appears to take that fact into consideration.

PEACH LEAF CURE FOR GRIP.
Southerner Told MT Cushman to Put
 One in a Quart of Whisky.

Representative Francis w. Cush- man of the state of Washington has been confined to his home in Wash ington City for the last month with a severe case of grip, and has not been in attendance upon the sessions of the house Recently for the first time in month, the lanky statesman from Washington state came to the house for an hour. says the Washing ton Herald. His head was tied up and his ears stuffed full of absor- bent cotton. He certainly looked like a noble ruin.
 Several members crowded around him and were offering their sympathy and giving advice. when prominent representative from one of the south ern states elbowed his way into the group. The sOutherner was a trifie over six feet tall and was certainly a vigorous looking speciman of the human family. He was an interested listener until he learned that Cush- mans particular ailment was the grip. Then he broke forth. Address ing Cushman, he said:
 T fell you. sub. know all about the grip. suh. When I left the south. sub. and come to this d-d town and internal climate. for the first three years ] nearly died every winter from that disease. suh. But finally found a remedy-yss. suh. did. suh. Tsa got a remedy for the grip that vil1 jerk that disease out of the human system quicker than q hound pup will pull possum out Of hOl- Ter log suh. Yes. Suh. that remedy is sursr than death and more certain than taxes
 Cushmsn st once became interest ed and asked what the nature of this remedy was

CHURCH BUILDING AT NIGHT.
Work of Congregation That Could Not
 Afford to Pay For Labor.

Work of Congregation That Could Not
 Afford to Pay For Labor.
 With the light from a dozen lanterns helping them to see where to place joists and how to nail on weather boards, ten members of the Yecker Avenue Babtlst church, in Kansas City, worked until after Il o'clock the other night on their new church build ng.
 The Yecker Avenue Baptist church was organized about three years ago. Until recently the congregation wor- shiped in a small frame building Ad- ditlons to the congregation made a larger building necessary, and 1t was decided to build a church.
 But the congregation is not a wealthy one, and the members felt that they could not give money enough for a new building Then the Rev. William L. Harms. pastor of the church, had an idea.
 we can afford to buy material for a new building. and each one of us can give a little of his time in work" Mir. Harms said. The congregation agreed. and the material was bought.
 Every day and many nights, under the direction of some of the members of the congregation who are carpen- ters, the work goes on. Those who cannot work by day give a little of their time at night, and the women of the church have coffee ready for the men when the work Is over.

Cushman wrote that down and then then said: And what else?
 Then suh, said the southerner i'm pressively. you put in a peach leaf.
 Cushman said "Only one peach leaf?"
 "Yes, suh," said the southerner; mind you only one peach leaf. Il won't do no hurt if you have more than a quart of whisky; but be sure suh, not to put in but one peach leaf"
 Cushman looked rather puzzled but wrote that down, and then said; Well what else now?"
 What else, exclaimed the south erner with astonishmment. Great God, sur, nothin' else; that is all Don't you know, suh, that the peach leaf is one of the most powerful rem edies on earth, suh? You don't need nothin' else
 Well said Cushman, "It is too bad but it is winter time now, and don't know where could get a peach leaf"
 The southerner exclaimed: That's it. that's just it, suh; that Is just the way I was situated. I couldn't get that peach leaf at the exact time needed 1t, SO I took the rest of them bitters at the time, intendin' and ex- peetin' suh. to take that peach leaf in the sping. and by gad. sub, by the time sping come I was cured, and I never done had to take that peach leaf at all!"
 At this interesting juncture a page boy came with a hurry up call, and the southerner hastened away to his committee room.
 Cushman said afterward: "I haven't yet had an opportunity to try them bitters.' but that recipe im- pressed me as possessing most pow erful healing and recuperative prop erties.'

our people, should not be permitted to arbitrarily fix market prices for the necessaries of life. also be- lieve that such of the trusts as sell their products in foreign lands at lower prices than in the United States should have withdrawn from them every vestige of protection vouchsafed under the tariff law"
 That declaration for tariff reform, by cutting of all the protection to trusts that sold their products cheap. CT to foreigners than to our own people. was endorsed by the people of Massachusetts when they elected MT Douglas governor by such large plurality.
 There is no doubt that a great majority of the people of the United States would endorse the position of Governor Douglas on the tariff if it is placed before them with the same clearness and ability as he displayed in his remarkable campaign for governor.

DOUGLAS AND TRUSTS.
The Brockton Shoe Man Would Re.
 yise Tariff.

When it comes to the delegates to the democratic national convention considering who they can nominate that will win. they cannot overlook the late Governor of Massachusetts, Hon William L.. Douglas. In a state normally republican by seventy thousand Mir Douglas was elected governor in 1904 by a plurality of s5.sss and that was in a presiden- tiaI year. which by reason of the in- creased vote in such years. naturally swells the vote of the dominant party. for the plurality of President Roosevelt the same year was sO.O16 and the republican majorities of the other candidates for state offices. averaged nearly T0,0O0. That was the greatest democratic gain in a republican year. for while Governor Johnson of Minnesota was elected governor on the same day his plural itv uas only s.552-
 But this victory of Governor Douglas vas the more remarkable beczuze he made the issue the rad teal reform of the tariff. which is such a manufaeturfng state as Massachusetts should by all the rules of political warfare have sure Iy defeated him But he took bold stand against the republican policy tariff rates and in his speech at Bos- ton at the meeting to rstify his n0nfnzfion he said.

There is nothing particularly edify- ing in the investigation that has been going on before the senate committee on naval affairs. The thing all came up through the magazine article writ ten some months ago by Henry Reu- terdahl, a naval artist who made the discovery that everything was allwrong with the navy. Mir Reuterdahl is not a naval expert, not war ship con structor nor anything in that line He is merely an artist who has done a good deal of ship drawing and ship painting. and who in the course of his work has been thrown in contact with many naval officers, each of whom has some particular hobby as is only nat ural with men of any profession who are interested in their work. Some of these officers. in perfectly good
 faith. says a Washington writer. de- clared that the American warxhlps carried their arrnor belt too low.
 Others thought that the ships did not have enough freeboard, others thought
 that the ammunition hoists could ba improved and others that the turrets
 were not properly projected. All these
 points are technical matters that fur
 nish subjects of discussion for the naval boards of all the great powers.
 and all construction with each succes- sive wsrship that the American navy
 has. # appears that the whole If tha
 American navy was it for little but
 the scrap pile. Therefore the senate committee on naval affairs has had
 numerous witnesses before f. Ad- mIral Converse. Admiral Capns aud q
 numbers of others. all of whom have agreed thst the charges of bad cnn- struction were untounde-j. IL was not till the committee got fl before Com nander Sims that they found anyone to agree with Mir Reutherdahl. Com mander Sims said that all the charges brought against the nary were true. besides many others that had not been brought He said that Amnri- can sailors did not know how .0 shoot in spite of the fact that they now hold most of the gun records of the world And be said other things of tb- same sort. But as soon as he started in to say disagreezhle things the commit ice shut him mp as though .hey were afraid of finding out something This did not seem very good either. if there is anything in the cilarZes against tbe navy. fl ought to be brought out That is what sIs In- vestigsting committee is for F the charges are untrue. they will ie cas- fly dizprovei The comments of Commander Sims sound oa the face Of
