The Decorated Pay Slip

Had the election been held ten days
prior to the time that it was and under
conditions as they existed at that time.
the democratic national ticket would
without doubt have been elected said
Joseph b. Moss, yesterday. I'm the last
ten days of the campaign wonders were
achieved by the republican organization
and II of the principal achievements
was that of the decoration of the pay
check. Hundreds % thousands of labor.
ing men in the United States when they
received their last pay check found ut.
tachcd to it II tag which told them in
substance that if they wanted continued
employment and wanted to see the
country prosperous. they should vote
for Taft and Sherman. This yelled
hrcat was sufficient. II carried away
the labor vote from the democratic
party and left it in II hopeless
minority"
"Such politics may he all right. but
am a firm believer in the idea that

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY I'll, 1908.


President Roosevelt's letter, vehement
ly denying the allegation that he has
used Federal patronage to aid Secretary
Taft's candidacy, is admirable in its Wig
or and omprehensiveness, but perhaps
not necessary. The President is over
sensitive regarding these matters. No
man can be as conspicuous as he is with
out becoming the target of malice, but
the shafts fall harmless so long as the
public preserves its absolute confidence
in his rectitude of purpose. Nobody sup
poses that Mr. Roosevelt is more than hui
man. He must have his likes and dis
likes as other men have, and his hopes
and feelings must be concerned in the
outcome of his friends affairs. He has
as much right as any other man to wish
his friends success and his enemies not
80 much success. The last thing that
would be charged against Theodore
Roosevelt would be that he was wanting
in friendship. His success comes from
the fact that he has made strong friends.
In making them he has had 10 make
strong enemies. No one is in doubt in
distinguishing the Presidents friends
from his enemies His friends have
never thought for a moment that he
would prostitute his official power to fur
Their the ambition of any Presidential
something of the kind, but it was hardly
necessary for the President to dignity
such thing by denying it.
1t was the most obvious and natural
thing in the world on the part of Mr..
Roosevelts enemies to seize upon such
a subterfuge for attacking him. If there
had been any injury to him in such a
charge, his denial would not have re-
moved it, for those who would believe
such charge against President of the
United States would not be shaken by
anything he could say. The American
people do not and will not attach any
Importance to such tales of improper
executive action. The President merely
magnifies the subject when he formally
denies such stories. The impelling rea-
son for his action is. of course, a sensi-
tive honor that cannot bear to keep ST.
lence under the shadow of accusation.
The Post cannot advise the President,
but it is our opinion that no effort was
required on his part to reassure the pub
lie that he is scrupulous in administering
the trust reposed in him.-From Wash.

EASY TO MIX THIS.
Prepare Il at Home BY Shaking
We'll in q Bottle.

What will appear very interesting to
many people here is the article taken
from New Yoik daily paper, giving a
simple prescription, as formulated by a
noted authority, who claims that he has
found positive remedy to cure almost
any case OF backache or kidney or biad-
der arrangement. in the following SIM
pie prescription, if taken before the stage
of Bright's diseases:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Com pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake these well in bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each meal
and again at bedtime.
A well-known druggist here at home,
when asked regarding this prescription,
stated that the ingredients are all harm
less, and can be obtained at small cost
from any good prescription pharmacy, or
the mixture would be put up If asked to
do so He further stated that while this
prescription is often prescribed in rheu-
matte Affections with splendid results,
he could see no reason why il would not
be splendid remedy for kidney and uri-
nary troubles and backache, as it has a
peculiar action upon the kidney structure,
cleansing these most important organs
and helping them to sift and filter from
| the blood the foul acids and waste matter
which cause sickness and suffering
Those of our readers who suffer can
make no mistake in giving it trial.

The SIN oke Nuisance.

The smoke nuisance has taken on
various forms in different communities
growing out of the introduction of soft
coal and the growing popularity of the
automobile. New York city is now
struggling against the horseless but not
smokeless vehicle, and Mayor Mcclellan
in his annual message made some good
recommendation as to the regulation of
automobiles. He would have all auto.
mobiles equipped with adequate mufflers
which should never be cut out within the
built up parts of the city, within which
also he advised to prohibit the use of the
confusing acetylene headlights. More
important than either was his recommen-
dation that, Except for the first ten Sec
onds after starting the engines of an au.
tomobile, no smoke should be allowed to
come out of the exhaust pipe" The
smoke, said the mayor, is wholly unnec-
essary, and is simply an evidence of

COURT DECIDES.
Pedestrians Have Right Of Way
Over Auto m obiIes.

Los Angeles, Jan. Pa decision of
great Importance to automobilists
throughout the state was rendered today
by the district court of appeal. Briefly,
it means that automoblists are obliged to
look out for pedestrians and keep from
running them down and that pedestrians
cannot be charged with contributory neg
ligence if they do not keep out of the
way of automobiles.
The decision was rendered in case in
which a judgment for $1,000 damages
was awarded to man who had been run
down by an automobile. The appellant
made the plea that the injured man was
guilty of contributory negligence in not
keeping sharp lookout for passing vehi-
cles. The higher court gives this plea no
weight and Gays almost in so many words
that person running an automobile is
obliged to look out for pedestrians. the
rights of whom on any highway are de-
clared to be paramount. The judgment
of the lower court is sustained.
The plaintiff in the case is Stanley
King, an employee of the Los Angeles
railway company. The defendant is E.
X. Green, who will be obliged to pay the
damages awarded.
The above decision, which is one of
great Importance, and almost fatal to
the use of the highways by automobiles,
is exactly what the Register has claimed
all the time would be the line of decisions
of the courts when such questions come
to them That is, the peoples rights
would be protected in every case, and if
either our town lawyer, or the selectmen,
had attended to their duties of seeing
that the State laws were obeyed, the nu.
merous accidents which occurred last
summer of men and women being thrown
from carriages, and off from horses
either one of which might have beer
fatal, might have been avoided At least
the disgrace of a town posting its roads
and then permitting its regulations to be
violated with impunity, would have
been.
Now we haven't had word with either
of them, but if Mr.. Donoway or Mr.. But
ton is elected for town lawyer, we be-
! lieve all this will stop. And certainly
selectmen should be chosen who will see
that their orders are obeyed. Coward
ice or inefficiency are alike inexcusable
i'm town officers.
