DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when it is entirely closed, Deai-ess is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.

party, whose connection with the
Standard Oil Company has not only
been proven but admitted by the ac-
cused-the man whom PresidentRoose-
welt seeing that me could no longer
use the Senator's personality as
vote-catching device, held up to public
scorn. his career reehng from its
greasy touch with Americas greatest
commercial octopus. If the far-away
and unproven Haskell case is the
main reason why the Republican pre-
diets a change ranging from nothing
to a majority of 700 for the Taft
ticket in Ohio county, we see no rea-
son why the Foraker disgrace and In
cubus should not revrese this pre-
dicted result by majority OF at least
a Thousand for the Democrats in this
county this fall.
But Philippine tobacco! 1t can be
seen at a glance what a powerful In
fluence this should have on the vot-
ers of Ohio county-an influence es-
timated to change the minds OF at
least 700 men out of a total voting
population of about 5000. The perth
nacity and invulnerable phase of this
argument is at once apparent.
And then to think of ''the failure
of Mr.. Bryan 10 offer anything sub
stantial to the American people as a
reason why he should be elected Pres
ident" What a pity Mr.. Bryan has
not done this! How cruel of his
friends TO allow him TO go on to GER
tain defeat-some counties changing
from nothing to a majority of 700
against him-when just few words,
Just anything substantial, would save
him!
But we submit that the Republicans
reasons, as party argument, are excel
lent. They constitute the quintessence
of Republican reasoning. True, they
are lodges, pure and simple, but what
of Il? Isn't that the way the Hart
ford Republican and other journals of
it's political class, usually meet
plain, straightly-put question, when it
affects their consistency or integrity.
We wish to compliment the Repub-
lican for the closeness and absolute
lucidness or argument with which it
sticks to party practices.
In the meantime we would like
to know (but we are confident we will
never get it from the Republican, any
sensible reason why Ohio county
would change from zero to away up

licans in Ohio county this fall.

Gov. Haskell, in his scathing reply
to President Roosevelt's charges that
the Governor was not only connected
with tine Standard Oil business but is
morally unfit to be the chief magis-

Morally you challenge me, Mr..
Roosevelt. | should not undertake to
make a comparison between you and

sion and never did in my life, but l
still have your letter of last winter

DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
AND THIS rs THE ANSWER

In a wild and rambling jingle of
argument that would scarcely give cred
1t 10 a boy not yet out OF his teens,
the Hartford Republican undertakes To
justify its election predictions, both
before and after taking the bitter dose
Of Taft tonic, by saying, in reply to
The Herald's invitation to explain its
bald inconsistency:
We will say in answer to
its invitation to explain the
basis Of our prediction; HAS
KEEL.
In support of this overwhelming
invincible and absolutely unanswerable
argument, the Republican says:
We might add many other
reasons, such as the PROPOSE
ton by the Democrats to take
the tariff off tobacco, COM
ing here from the Philippine
Islands, and the failure Of Mr..
Bryan TO offer anything sub
stantial to the American peo-
pie as a reason why he should
be elected President.
These are offered as the main and
convincing reasons why the Repub-
lican has changed its opinion deliv-
cred on March 9th last, that the Re
publicans would have the fight Of
their lives this year to carry Ohio
county, DO its latest utterance that the
Republicans will carry this county
on November Srd, prox, by 700 ma
jority.
Haskell! All, yes, TO be sure. The
man whom President Roosevelt has
accused of various crimes-including
moral especially in the
Standard Oil matter, unsupported by
any proof sufficient to justify such a
vicious onslaught. Haskell! The man
who has invited and defied Mr.. RCtose-
welt. to produce proof to support his
charges, and who has been denied any
ohance-Only through the newspapers
to vindicate himself 1t will be not
ed, however, that Gov. Haskell has
been illuminated from the present
campaign.
But what about Foraker? Has the
Republican heard anything about Mr..
Foraker lately? Why not bring up the
Foraker matter and put it in juxtapo-
sition with the Haskell accusations?
Why not? Yes, Foraker, one of the
high muck-a-mucks of the Republican

Never before in the history of our
nation has a President so far ignored
or forgotten the dignity and prestige
of his office as to enter boldly and
defiantly into a political campaign in
behalf of his own chosen candidate,
until Mr.. Roosevelt entered upon the
scene. The spectacle is one which
has aroused the resentment of even
members of his own party. AS Pres
ident of the whole people, it would
seem that the occupant should hold
this office sacred, but Mr.. Roosevelt
has set a precedent that is unworthy
