Mayes and Ellyns are all afflicted with
a mental weakness that doesn't do any

judge knight and His Voice.

Hon. George A. Knight of California,
who seconded Taft's nomination, has
the distinction Of possessing the most
powerful voice in the country. More
over, he is a man of brains and knows
how to use his voice, being rated as
one of the most eloquent orators of the
West. He is a native of Massachusetts
graduate of the University of Cali
fornia, has been United States district
attorney, and is now attorney for the
Union Pacific and also agent of the Fair
estate which is valued at $1S,O00,o00. He
seconded Mckinley's nomination in
1896 and Roosevelt's nomination in 1904.
~ good story is told of his speech on
the latter occasion. All through the
days of this convention one speaker

of $4,000 people, only to be greeted with
from the galleries and distant parts OF
the floor. When Judge knight spoke, it
vas different. His magnificent, re-
5onant voice reached every nook and
corner of the vast structure, There
were no longer any cries of ''Louder.'

the great gathering off into storm of
applause and laughter which lasted

The Second Name on the Ticket.

INC 0SCO0O INdUc OFT SItS s'SNSS
The ticket is Taft and Sherman. The
overwhelming vote given for Con-
gresham James S. Sherman of New
York upon the first ballot for the Sc
lection of vice presidential candidate
shows that after the leaders had thor
oughly canyassed the field and dis
cussed the eligibility Of many good
men mentioned, they were practically
unanimous in agreeing upon Mr.. Sher-
man. Nobody can say that this vice.
presidential nomination was something
agreed upon in advance or dictated by
any leader or coterie Of leaders. The
field was open to all corners and from
Massachusetts to California score of
available men were mentioned.
There were many others upon the
list who are more prominently before
the country than Congressman Sher-
man, but the more the case is exam
ined the stronger appears the selection
Sherman was born in Utica, New York
October "a, 1855, making him two yearx
the senior of Secretary Taft. He grad
uated from Hamilton College in 1873
the same year that Taft graduated
from Yale, and was admitted to the
bar in 1880, the same year that Taft
graduated from the Cincinnati Law
school. Since 1880 Mr.. Sherman has
been a practising lawyer in his native
city of Utica, serving the city as mayor
in 1884 and going to Congress for the
first time in 1887. He represented the
23d New York district in Congress
from 1887 to 1891, then remained at
home a term going back to Congress
in 1893 since which time his service
has been continuous. Thus, since 1887
his service in the House of Representa-
tivcs has been continuous, with the ex-
ception Of the years 1891 and 1892.
His ability and his long service have
great delegation from New York and
one of the strong men of Congress. He
is at the present time chairman of the
committee on Indian affairs and is
also a member of the committee on
industrial arts and expositiOns and on
interstate and foreign commerce. In
his home city Mr.. Sherman is not only
leading lawyer but is also prominent
in banking circles, being president of
the Utica Trust and Deposit Co. So
much for the life and career of The
Republican vice presidential candidate.
During the coming weeks the country
will become better acquainted with his
personality.

ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup Of Figs

why it is the best Of personal and family

A Month Of Canal Work.

The New York Tribune with its dia-
grams and tables keeps the world
posted uron the actual and compare
tive results being accomplished in the
Panama canal zone The record of OK
cavation for May was one Of the most
noteworthy in the history of that en-
terprise 1t amounted to 2,703,923 cubic
yards, of which all except 1853 cubic
wards was taken from the canal prism
That fell considerably short of the
April record, it is true-by no less than
592173 cubic yards. But then April was
a dry month, while May was the first
month of the rainy season, and was
most uncomnonly wet even for May.
At no point on the canal were there
fewer than Il rainy days, while at Ga
tur there were 30 and at Bias Obispo
there were 80. The rainfall for the
month was nearly twice as great as in
May, 1906, and more than twice as
great as in May, 1907. At every point
save only Ancon it was much greater
than the average, and at some points it
was about twice as great as the aver
age since observations were begun. Yet
while the rainfall was nearly twice as
great as in 1906, the amount of exca-
walton was considerably more than
twice as much as in May of that year.
The total excavation done by the
French at all points, including diver
sion channels, amounted to about ST.
5000 cubic yards. From May, 1904,
to June /, 1908, the American engineers
excavatad s7,Ss05S2 cubic yards. That
is about one-third of the total amount
which was estimated to be necessary
for a high level canal. The work is
now proceeding with entire smooth

In the naming of the new battlcships
the list of states is about exhausted
and the Washington Star makes plea
for a battleship named IN honor of this
seat of national government. AS far
AS the new navy is concerned the Dis
trict of Columbia, the seat of the ma
tional government, has no representa-
tive al.oat. This fact should be taken
into consideration by the dispensers of
public money and naval names at the
first opportunity. While it is impossi-
bic to give every state it's naval name
sake in the strictly modern class at all
times, it has never seemed quite right
that the name Columbia should be thus
neglected. 1t should be borne by the
greatest of the hattleships. OF course
there are no votes to be gained from
the District of Columbia by the be-
stowal of its name upon a warship, but
this is a matter which should rise
above political considerations.

Everything is so inviting at the present
time it seems hard to conceive how
people can stay away from these great
attractions. And when we come to the
sea coast, there is nothing like it in all
creation, TO say nothing of the outlying
islands, dotted with summer cottages.
Neither Bar Harbor or Moosehead lake
has all the attractions, but in all the
hooks and corners on the coast are re-
sorts that hold out renewed life and
health to the worn and weary from the
great crowded cities who come here
every year, and return home with new
vigor and elastic footsteps.

about diminished vitality.
They don't stop to think that vitality
is the principle of life-that it is that
little understood something on which

Diminished vitality is early indicated
by loss of appetite, strength and
