BRYAN To MEET
TAFT At CHICAGO
IN OCTOBER
PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEES OF
BOTH BIG PARTIES WILL SPEAK
IN WINDY clTY-REP. cANDl.
DATE ON WATERWAYS.

CINCINNATI, Sept lot is now
reported that Taft and Bryan will
meet in Chicago in October. Taft ac-
cepted an invitation TO open the an
nual convention OF the Lake & Gulf
Deep Waterway association there on
Oct. Z and Bryan has consented TO
deliver the closing speech on Oct, 8.
Bryan gave his consent on the con-
dition that Taft should speak also and
that he, Bryan should deliver the last
speech. Mr. Bryan stipulated further
than no announcement OF his accept
ance should be made until Mr. Tafts
consent to appear AT the convention
had been obtained.
Taft by oct. / will have started out
on his stumping tour. but he said to-
day that he would arrange his timer
airy so as not to conflict with the Chi
cago engagement.
To Ring in Politics.
AS matter of fact, Taft probably
will take advantage of the trip to Chi
there also. In that event Bryan will
lOilOW Suil. It utAtSd-
ton which called on Taft was made
up of prominent Chicago and st. Louis
business men, including w. X. Kavan-
augh, the president OF the association;
Festus j. Wade, president OF the Mer-
camille Trust company of St. Louis,
and Cyrus B. Waldbridge, former may
or of st. Louis.
The Endorsement of the deep water
way project by the national leaders Of
both political parties will take it en-
tirely out of political discussion and
make II impossible for either candidate
TO make capital out of IL. That was
one OF the purposes sought by the as
Notation in inviting the candidates.
Associated with the lakes to the
gulf project advocated by the associa-
ton is the Improvement of the Ohio
river and it's tributaries.

Mrs. WIN. SANDHA.
Post-osice address furnished on application

That our American forests abound in
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues is abundantly attested
Ivy scores of the most eminent medical
writers and teachers of this and other
countries. Even the untutored Indians
had discovered the usefulness of many
native plants before the advent of the
white race. This information, impaired
freely 10 the whites, led the latter to
continue Investigations until to-day we
have rich assortment OF most valuable
American medicinal roots.
DR.. Pierce, OF Buffalo, N. Y, believes
that our American forests abound in
medicinal roots for the cure of most
obstinate and fatal diseases, If we would
properly investigate them, and, in con-
firmation OF this conviction, he points
with pride to the most marvellous cures
effected by his "Golden Medical Dis
covery."

Sane Old Story.

Taft talked straight talk to his
countrymen about every issue that en-
crosses the thoughts of Americans to-
day Bryan promises series OF post
scripts to dispose of tariff, railroads,
currency, trusts and everything else of
real Importance. And then he engases
in one OF his melancholy searches after
paramount issue and finds it in
the rhetorical, fustian and tinsel plati-
tude, "Shall the people rule?"
1t is the old, old story. The garb OF
the conservative does not sit well upon
the born Crusader. Mr. Bryan has put
forth a tactful smoothly phrased bun
die of generaiities, and he has done so
at the very moment when the mental
appetite of the whole people is sharp
ened for strong meat and not wind
pudding,
With score of honestly disputed
and important questions open, he
chooses deliberately to select as the
chief issue OF the campaign n query to
which there is absolutely no negative
RESPONSE -"Shall the people rule" The
people always have ruled and always
will rule.-Philadelphia North Ameri-
can, Aug. To- 1908.

Members of the State Educational
commission expect to recommend to
the next legislature that the child
rem of Pennsylvania be taught to
fight forest fires
The matter of forest preservation
has been much discussed by the com
missioners at their several meetings,
and in addition much correspondence
on this subject has been exchanged
among them.
The commission is practically
committed to a demand for law to
COMPEL the establishment of special
agricultural schools throughout the
state, and it is understood that spec
ial classes for instruction not only in
the cultivation of forests, but also
in the means for the prevention of
their obstruction will be included in
the regular curriculum for these
institutions.
The Pennsylvania State Grange is
particularly active in campaign
for the establishment of these agri-
cultural schools, and the commission
in its report to the legislature will
incorporate the ideas of this influ-
ential order.
Supt. of Philadelphia schools Brum-
baugh who is an active member of
the state commission, which is now
busily engaged in drafting new code
of educational laws for the common
wealth, said that had forest preserv-
alton been included in the curricu-
lum of the school the present drought
in the interior of Pennsylvania could
very probably have been averted.
DIR. Brumbaugh said that he be-
lieved that practical instruction
in fighting forest fires would
work wonders in preserving the
woods. which aid so materially in
the water supply of
the state.

The forest fires which have Just
laid waste whole counties in Mime
sofa, Michigan, and extended into
Wisconsin, destroying towns and
making hundreds of persons home
less, have focused the attention of
both government and State forest
officers on the enormous losses of
forest wealth which will be checked
up to the year 1908. In the whole
northern half of the United States
throughout the vast territory eX tend
ing from coast to coast, the reported
obstruction by forest fires has been
terrific and it is likely that the year
will go down as one of the worst in
the last quarter of century, Officers in
the United States forest reserve say
that it is doubtful if this years actual
losses from forest fires in all parts of
the country will ever be known
but it is certain that they will
run so high in the millions that the
country will be startled when COM
pliation of at the end of the season
makes it possible to give even the
most conservative figures. Suffice it
to say, were all the timber burnt up
this year in all parts of the country
converted into cash, it could provide
for good sized navy of first class
battleships.
