GASKINS WILL FIGHT ALONE
Withdrawal of Burt, Patterson, and
Raymond Leaves Him Undismayed.
VIII Present His Name at Polls on
Taesday, and Hopes for
Election.

The withdrawal Of Gen. Andrew S. Burt
and John ". Patterson, candidates for
delegates, and Frank x. Raymond, can
didate for alternate, to the Republican
national convention from the District Of
Columbia has caused contention among
the Republican voters Of the District.
They are TaIlying 10 the support of B.
l. Gaskins, alternate on the Burt-Patter-
SOM n-Raymond-GaslSlns ticket Mr. Gas
kins, after a conference with some Of the
political leaders OF the country and some
Of the local leaders, said:
/ Il cannot concur with the decision Of the
other candidates on the BuTt-P Patterson
ticket, on which I was a candidate for
alternate. Gen. Burt IS quoted TO have
said that the election Of the Burt -Patter-
son ticket was assured. II seems to me
that harmony would have been more
easily secured by the withdrawal OF the
weaker ticket
The consensus Of opinion, as far as !
have been able 10 ascertain, is that II was
not solely a desire for harmony that
caused the desertion Of my colleagues.
In my opinion. there is no disgrace in
| honorable defeat.
Il shall present my name at the polls
on Tuesday. 1 appeal 10 all followers OF
the Burt Patterson ticket and all lovers
OF fair play for support"

recommended 10 the Commissioners. that
streets in Southwest Washington, changed
IN grade by reason of the elimination OF
grade crossings. which had been formerly
paved with cobble. should not be repayed
vita cobble but because Of economical
considerations. should be surfaced with
sheet asphalt.
In Accordance with Precedent.
In ordering all work under this con-
tract the awards have been made strictly
in compliance with orders issued in the
Office Of the Engineer Commissioner, prior
BY a year 10 the advertising OF work
under this contract. as outlined above.
Assignments of streets have been made
TO the Brennan Construction Company
and to the Crawford Paving Company by
the Commissioners in strict accordance
with the order governing the matter and
in exact accordance with all pTecedents
in the Office, and as understood by both
parties to the contract when the contracts
were signed.
Il know that Mr.. Brennan has for this
year been harboring this resentment
against the Office and has been talking
with a great many people Of this decision
as a raw DEAL and l regret that he has
seen fit TO consider il in this light.
His attitude and statements are d.
rectlv responsible for the charges made
in connection with the recently opened
bids for the paving Of First street and
in the discussion IN connection with this
matter he invited our attention TO some
grave Irregularities charged against Mr..
Fernald and which have resulted in Mr..
Fernald's separation from the Office.
Fc-naId's Resignation Demanded.
The statements which Mr.. Brennan
has made about Mr. Fernald may be
true. I do not believe that they are,
nor do I believe that Mr.. Brennan be-
lieves that they are. They were, how
ever. Of such a character that the Office
could not overlook them and Mr.. Fer
maids resignation was requested and ac-
cepted-
The Commissioners Will, however. give
Mr. Brennan a chance to be completely
heard anew in the matter, at a public
hearing fixed at my motion for next
Thursday.
Il desire to make my position clear
that If there are any irregularities in the
engineer department there is no one
more interested in finding them out than
am nor is there any one who would
favor taking more drastic action to put
a stop to them than I will"

ROOSEVELT ASKED TO
 TALK IN MONOGRAPH

New York, July 16.-If the Presi- dent will consent his voice will be heard in the coming campaign, even though he remains quietly at Saga more Hill or in the White House at Washington. He is now asked to make number of speeches into the receiv- CT of a photograph, the speeches of course to be of his own choosing, but preferably bearing upon some of the vital questions of the campaign.
 An agent of one of the large talk ing machine concerns has laid the matter before the President through Secretary Loeb. The agent called the secretary's attention to the fact that his photograph company had ten or a dozen records of Mir. Bryan's voice.
 While, of course, it is not possible to announce officially the Presidents decision, the odds are largely against the photograph concerns hopes. It is not likely that the President will care to engage in a photographic joint debate with MT. Bryan.

There is more catarrh in this sec tion of the country than all other dis eases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incur able. For great many years doctors pronounced it local disease and pre- scribed local remedies, and by con- stantly failing to cure with local treat ment pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be constitu- tional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Ca tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo. Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the mar ket. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.

WHY? WHY? WHY?

WHY? WHY! WHY?
 Why does baseball pitcher receive ,s1OOOO year for his work and a set clement worker only 5000 year for his:
 Why is the president of life in surance company paid $1O0.0O0 in sal ary and perquisites, while the hard worked head of a school draws a meager wage?
 Why do we pay the highest price to the man who saves our dollars and the lowest price to the man who saves our souls?
 Why does the world offer fortunes to the man who shows us how to make money and starvation wages to the man who shows us how to make beautiful lives?
 Why does the woman who shines in society get recognition and the woman who paints picture get press notices and medals, while neither recognition nor medals come to the woman who keeps model household and rears, mo- ble children?
 Why do we accord highest place to money mongers and lowest place to teachers of ideals?
 Why do we point to big factories and high buildings as indices of rea1 prosperity? Why do men fuse body and soul, brain and conscience, into frenzied money madness? Why all this: Simply because the fullness of time has not yet come for a people to dis card false standards of civilization because our people have not held the right estimates of human life. We have stumbled over the definition of the supreme good. Here and there noble men have pointed Us to higher ideals, but we have not needed. But
 Thank goodness, change is com ing over the spirit of American dreams. We are beginning to raise right standards.
 It is this way:
 Heretofore only the material things have concerned us. We must master a continent. We must girdle the globe
 with our commerce. In this accom- plishment we have grasped the occul forces of nature and solved; as no oth CT people have solved, the problem oi the production of wealth. Now we must stop. We are up against greater prob lem-the EQUITABLE DISTRIBU- TION of wealth. An, that is different! When yo, start to study THAT problem you TUT against all sorts of moral laws-hu manitarianism. justice. righteousness You begin to see how false is the standard that pays the MOST to hin who ministers to the LOWEST and the LEAST to him who ministers tc the HIGHEST. And so- We are beginning to see that MEN and not MONEY. are the supreme good that the greatest wealth is CHARAC TER; that the only real things wortf producing are MANHOOD and WOM ANHOOD.
