Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept: 21.-Presi- 4
dent Roosevelt made public the fol-
lowing statement today:
"In view of Mr. Hearst's disclos-
ures about Senator Foraker, made
public the following letter written
by Mr.. Taft July 90, 1907, to friend
in Ohio, prominent in Ohio politics,
who wrote him before the meeting
Of the state central committee, and
asking weather he would object to-
passing a resolution indorsing Mr..
Taft for president and Mr.. Foraker
for senator, in the interest Of har-
mony. A copy of this letter was sub-
mitted to me at the time, but after
the original had been sent. It was
not intended for publication, but it
was understood that if necessary it
should be published.
I IT personally knew that the strong
est pressure by various party lead
ers was brought on Mr.. Taft at that
time to consent to the proposed ar
rangement and he was, informed by
leading men from other states that
Ii fhe would consent to this arrange
ment all opposition on the part of
Mr.. Foraker, and on the part of Mr..
Foraker's influential friends in the
senate and elsewhere, would cease,
i and that Mr.. Taft's nomination for
Epresident would be assured. But
Mr.. Taft declined, !, to consider any
possible advantage to himself where
what he regarded as a great prin:
ciple was at stake. His attitude on
this question as well as on countless
other questions, convinced me that
Eof all Of the men in this union he
. was the man pre-eminently fit In
point Of uprightness and character
of fearless and aggressive honesty
and Of fitness for championing the
rights of the people as whole, to be
president.
Senator Foraker has been a lead
er among those members Of congress
of both parties who have reso1utel!
opposed the great policies of inter
national reform for which the ad
ministration has made itself respon

In righteousness and upright and fair

HAY FEVER IS
BEING ARGUED
BIG SOCIETY OF SUFFERERS
MEETING TODAY IN NEW
HAMPSHIRE.

BETHELEHEM, N. H., Aug. U.s.
The Society of Sufferers from Sneezi
tbs, otherwise known as the United
States Hay Fever association. is hold
ing a national convention here today,
with a program devoted entirely to a
consideration of the favorite malady
of the delegates. Bethlehem was Sc
lected as the meeting place because of
its enviable reputation as a retreat for
hay fever sufferers, this section being
almost exempt from the hay fever pol
len. This is the thirty fifth annual
meeting of the association
Great excitement was caused among
the delegates by the reading of a re-
port from DR.. Otto Schultz, president
of the Heufieber- Bund Won Helgoland,
or Hay Fever Society of Germany, in
which he declared that there is no per-
manent cure for hay fever. Herr
SCuultZ Q0CldTGS.
1. That the only cause Of hay fever
is pollen.
2. There is no connection between
govt, rheumatism and other like all
ments, and hay fever. Persons suf-
faring with or free from those diseases
are alike liable to hay fever.
3. There is no cure for hay fever,
although certain remedies may give
temporary relief and ease the sufferer
from the malady.
4. Dieting will not help the hay
fever sufferer nor will the wearing or
not wearing of certain kinds of cloth
ing root out or diminish the effect Of
the malady
5. Baths, warm or cold, head baths,
foot baths, or shower baths, are Of
value only when the sufferer is in
closed, damp room in which there is
no pollen.
g. The only way to escape hay fever
is to be at various times of the year
in places where the hay fever plants
are not blooming ana there is no pol
len.
7. There is no real permanent cure
for hay fever.
Reports show that New Hampshire
climate is more favorable to hay fever
sufferers than any other section of the
country. although some have found
relief in California, Michigan, New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

his trial to show that he is an habitual

his trial to show that he is an habitual
criminal
To have a person sentenced under
the habitual criminal law it is neces-
sary to file the evidence of previous
convictions at the time of trial and
before conviction of the charge for
which he was arrested. In case the
prisoner denies the charge he must be
given a jury trial. If the charge is then
proven a statement is given to the
penitentiary officials that the prisoner
has served time before and may be
held at the end of sentence for which
he was arrested.
The case is being held over for a
few DAYS until further evidence is
procured concerning his previous con-
victions and this will be used at the
time of his trial on the charged of
grand larceny to show that he is an
habitual criminal.
Lang was arrested several days ago
by Deputy Sheriff Cummings at Tou-
Chef.
