General Demand

Of the Well Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy Of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com-
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuinc-manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sala
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

Grave Causes for Suspicion.

Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Sheldon, treasurer
Of the Republican committee, assure
the country that there will be the
fullest publicity regarding campaign
contributions. 1t is insisted by both
that the New York law on the subject
overs the case, and that it will be OBJ
served to the letter. We are informed
further that even were there nc law
there would still be genuine publicity.
We trust that these promises may be
kept. But the country would feel
easier if the convention that nomi-
mated MI. Taft had not rejected a
plank demanding publicity by an over
whelming vote. On the other hand, the
Democratic convention declared for a
law compelling publicity, and max
ing it a criminal offense for any cor.
~poration to contribute to party funds.
Another bad sign is that Mr.. Sheldon,
himself a trust man, was the nominee
of William Nelson Cromwell, n OF
the greatest trust lawyers In the

ENGLISH ARTISTS NOT SAILORS.
For Them Tennis Is the Chief Recrea.
tion-Little Golf.

The number of English artists who
take to the sea as a pastime may prob.
ably be numbered on the fingers OF
one hand, and these for the most part
pursue maritime art as a profession.
1t comes, therefore, as a surprise to
hear of a French artist, and especially
II with tastes apparently so Partisan
as M. Paul Hellu, having from his
youth upward INDUCED a pastime
for sailing, and now in the hey
day Of success flying the British flag
above an English built yacht, with
Southampton as his headquarters.
1t is given to few artists to be able
to afford the expense of a vessel of
considerable size, but M. Helleu just
now is basking in the sunshine OF
prosperity and worldwide renown.
The story goes that he recently made
only cost him two afternoons work.
In company with M. Sem he will prob
ably cross to Trouville and other
French watering places at the close
Of the CoWes and Ryer weeks.
British artists as a rule affect lawn
tennis as a recreation in preference
to any other game. At this they at
tain a level Of excellence which they
as a body appear unable to reach at
cricket, golf or football. Mr.. Abey,
r. A., for some years captained a
team Of artists, and has even had a
cricket week at his country home,
but both these popular functions have,
we understand, been abandoned this
year. Tennis can, of course, be more
easily practiced, especially by those
artists so fortunate as to possess
large gardens, and Mr.. Shannon, A. K.
A., even aspires to enter the lists OF
the premier tournament abroad, name
ly, Homburg, where he probably at
this moment is playing a lively game
on the courts whereOn for many years
a very prominent figure was his old
neighbor Van Prinsep.

Congress May Take Up Hazing Cases

in announcing that the president had
closed the case by approving the find.
ing of guilty and directing their dis.
missal. He left Washington, thinking
that the case had been closed and
that the order Diminishing the cadets
would be issued as a mere matter of
routine. He did all he considered nee
essary to bring about such an ending.
When the papers came to him he for
warded them to the president. When
they came back Endorsed with the
presidents approval, Gen. Oliver an
nounced the fact. So did Secretary
Loeb. Both were invited to join the
Ananias club. Secretary Wright es-
capped by saying that when he spoke
of the finding as having been approved
he spoke without having personal
knowledge simply assuming the re-
ports given out by Acting Secretary
Oliver and Secretary Loeb to have
been accurate.
The understanding here is that Con-
gressmen from the districts in which
the cadets live will introduce bills au-
thorizing the president to restore the
dismissed cadets to the academy and
take the order of suspension from the
six who were found guilty of one thing
and punished for something not speci,

New Record in Timber Cut Established

ures disclose some interesting facts.
In 1907 2S,S5O mills made returns,
and their production was over forty
billion feet Of lumber. This is be-
lieved to include IS per cent. of the
actual cut. In 1906 22,39S mills re-
ported about thirty-seven and one-half
billion feet. Since, according to these
figures, nearly 20 per cent. more mills
reported last year than the year be-
fore, while the increase in production
was a little over seven per cent, it
might be thought that the amount
actually manufactured must have been
greater in the earlier year. This, how
ever, would be a too hasty inference,
for it is almost wholly among mills
Of small individual output that the
gain in the number Of establishments

IT PAYS TO KNOW HOW.
John Sharp Williams Tells the Where.
fore Of Big Salaries.

Half a dozen southern members
were gathered in a Democratic cloak
room of the house of representatives
at a recent session Of congress, swap
ping yarns and discussing politics and
Subjects of world interest generally,
when some one observed:
1T is remarkable to what great
magnitude the fees of successful cor
poration lawyers attain nowadays. In
nine cases out of ten the attorneys
render only a few moments of serv'
ice; yet they are paid therefor enOr
nous sums Of money"
John Sharp Williams, the Democrat
ic floor leader, nodded in assent. THE
solution Of such an ~eXtravagant situa.
tiOn," he replied, lis in the fact that
while the lawyers may render but
slight service, apparently specifically
their work is founded on such a solid
ly founded knowledge base that their
counsel is worth the money, and per.
haps more.
Il a illustrate better by telling
you of an experience | had down in
Jackson, in my home town, with a
plumber | had called in to repair some
water pipes in the kitchen. / had at
tempted to fix EN- up, and had worked
hard an hour or two, getting my
clothes grimy, mutilating a thumb and
incidentally my reputation for chaste
speech; but all to no success. Finally,
when l had exhausted myself and
qualified a suit of clothes for the
cleanser, l decided TO call in the
plumber.
The plumber looked at the pipes
wisely for a moment, reached for his
hammer, struck the offending tubes a
healthy stroke or two, then passed
the amenities of the day and walked
out. The next week l received a bill
for $10.25. | thought the charge ex.
orbitant, and told him SO.
Its too much for such a simple
job l demonstrated. Anyhow, where
does the 25 cents come in? It's a
funny looking bill, and l don't under
stand it. Suppose you itemiZe the &C

SHE GOT HER MAN-HAPPY.
Indian Woman Not Likely to Be Lefe
Far Behind in life's Battle.

Writing of the famous Dean Kaye
Of Topeka, in Suburban Life, Paul A.
Lovewell, says:
Dean Kaye has had interesting ex-
%periences during his s%oujourns in the
wilderness. Once an Indian woman
came to his cabin.
You marry?' she asked.
Yes said the dean, L can marry
folks. Have you got a man"
Again the woman grunted, and de-
parted. About shutdown she returned,
dragging with her an apparently
abashed and reluctant brave.
Got him. she remarked, %laconical-
ly, producing her marriage license.
The man knew no English, but the
woman prompted him when it became
necessary for him to give his assent
to the deans questions. When it was
over the squaw paid the minister his
fee and led her husband away in tri-
umph."

Capital Hostesses Fear the Election

spoken of as the presidents mice

departure for other fields of activity
outside of Washington, and becoming

increasing numbers are making Wash

REAL TARIFF O
The Entire American People Now
want to Be Shown"

Mr.. Bryan asks: How will Mr..
benefits of prOtection?" and adds: HE
can easily convince a trust that it
profits by the tariff, but what about
the victim of the trust?"
On this entire tariff question the
great American nation is now all
from Missouri, and must be shown"
High tariffs were placed by the Re-
publicans upon a large number of
manufactured articles with two de-
clared objects, first, to protect the
American manufacturer, that is to
say, to keep him from being undersold
in the domestic markets by foreign
manufacturers who use cheap labor
or slave labor; second, to deprive
the American manufacturer of the
slightest shadow of an excus for
using cheap labor or slave labor, and
to put him in a position to employ
steadily high-class American work
men. and pay them wages which would
enable them to live in comfort, feed
and clothe their families, and send
their children to school.
Profit sharing, not profit hOgging,
was the first fundamental idea of high
tariff, and it was because the people
Of this country were assured solemnly
they would share in the profits that
they voted into power the party of
the high tariff, or az the Republicans
cleverly called it, with considerable
effect before they were found out, the
protective tariff" AS o as high
tariff made them secure, the beneficial
ries began to loot the American people
by charging artificial prices in the do
nestle markets, that is to say, prices
not regulated by actual conditions of
supply and demand, but by the undis-
puted nature of the vantage ground
held by the manufacturers. At the
same time they began to regulate"
wage scales in order to increase their
profits still more. with the result that
strikes, riots and other manifestations
of protection read like a war record.
The protected manufacturers protest.
ed that their employees were much bet.
ter paid than people engaged In sim
liar occupations in Europe, but omit
ted to state that by market manipula-
ton, control of output and formation
of trusts they had SO regulated vari-
Gus great American industries that
prices Of living rose out of all proper
ton to wages, which both in skilled
and unskilled labor showed a constant
tendency to diminish.
1t was the tendency of the wage to
diminish which gave organized labor
its strength. Many men who under
ordinary circumstances would never
have thought of joining any kind of
society or lodge, formed or joined
labor organizations, in order to secure
for themselves and their families that
real protection which political PRO
lection" utterly failed to give. And in
their course of conduct they were
right; for the American home and the
American school must be protected.
The whole aim of the Democratic
party is to protect the American home
and the American school by securing
Justice in taxation, and in order to Sc
cure justice in taxation there must be
