Longworth'S Speech in Rock
Island Creates a Smile
About White House.
HE MAY BE NEEDED
IN 1912, SAYS ONE
Friend of President Declares He
Will Be Prominent After He
Leaves Office for Africa.

Nicholas Longworth's nomination Of
his father-in-Iaw, Theodore Roosevelt.
for President in 1916, in a speech at
Rock Island. H., yesterday created a
smile around the executive Offices to-
day, where it was regarded more as a
friendly expression Of a relative than as
an accurate forecast Of what may hap
pen eight years from now
why, he may be in the inside Of a
lion before that" was the facetious re-
mark Of one individual, referring to the
Presidents African hunting trip next
summer. and the possible vicissitudes OF
fate during the next few years.
Speaking more seriously, however, an
other official remarked:
There are entirely too many ifs
and 'ands' and butts about this prom
osition, TO warrant the attachment Of
much Importance to Mr.. Longworth's
hlial declaration. Putting aside the
chances Of life and death. which are.
OF course. in Mr.. ROOsevelt's favor, 1t
is possible that Mr.. Longworth has put
the date too far ahead.
Confident of Election.
He is confident Of Mr.. Taft's election
this fall, and so am I, and am counting
upon him getting a reelection as the
reward Of good Administration. But
suppose Mr.. Bryan should be successful
this fan, and Mr.. Taft should be de-
feated?
In that improbable event. il seems TO
me the man to whom the Republicans
would turn four years hence 10 retrieve
their defeat would be Mr.. Roosevelt
whose hold upon the people has been
so often demonstrated Eight wears is a
long period, and many things might
happen, 50 that il really does not seem
that discussion of what may be that far
aneac IS or much value at this time
one thing. however. is quite certain
Ihat IS. that NJ. Roosevelt will not drop
out CT sight entirely after he leaves the
White House next March. He will con-
unue 70 take lively interest in the
politics and welfare of the country after
he has ceased 10 be President.
Believes in Pure Politics.
He believes that the publication Of
politics and business which has been
begun under his administration will con-
unue and spread, but that it will re-
quire constant preaching and example
to insure that the good work go for
ward In some capacity or another the
President will take a prominent part in
this work, and whittier ne is President
again in 1916 or at any other time, he
Will be found fighting along the same
lines which have made his Admins
tTation 50 popular with the people dur

A SPECIALIST SAYS:
"PiIes Can't Be Cured BY Any Outside
Treatment"

DIR. ]. S. Leonhardt of Lincoln, Neb.
spent years in studying the cause and
cure of piles, and what he learned is
summed up by him in these words:
piles can't be cured surely and per-
manently by ointmcnts, suppositories.
or cutting. The cause is inside and
needs internal treatment"
DR.. Leonhardt perfected -Roid,
the first internal pile cure. and has
used it ever since in his private prac-
tice. 1t frees circulation in the lower
bowel and strengthens the flabby
veins. During DIR. Leonhardt's expert
ments it was found that Hem-R od

Republican leaders say this is too
LIBERAL an estimate.
There were several conferences Of
Democratic leaders last week to de-
eide what steps can be taken. and
every effort Will be made to have tho
question carried to the Court of APP

to have the Martin ruling overturned.
A fund is being raised for this pur-
pose.
Democrats throughout the state are
up in arms over the decision, and in
disnantIy eXclaim that it is ridiculous
and absurd but they admit that they
have grave fears of the Court of APP

Mr.. BYRD, Speaker of the House Of

of the Well Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy Of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM

wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-

Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark

simple. The Hospital Corps does just

how to carry man when there is no
