BEALL'S ESTIMATE OF
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
Texas Congressman Furnishes Some Funny Copy
For Congressional Record.

Washington, March 31.-The Con-
grssional Record will contain these in
teresting references to President Roos-
evelt which Congressman Beall, Of
Texas, made to President Roosevelt in
his speech on Thursday.
HE is the wielder of the Big Stick
When he gets into action his enemies
are in danger and his friends in peril
HE is ambidextrous. He Yields the
sword and the pen, creating equal ha-

fections. in the White House code

Donation; in 1908 it is 'Damnation.'
'He is both a bronco buster and a
trust buster, the difference being that
when he breaks bronco he blindfolds
the horse, and when he starts to bust
trust he blindfolds himself.
HE is nature student. He has
counted the stripes upon the mountain
lion, but he has never seen the stripes
upon one of the trust magnates.
HE is great hunter. He can draw
the finest bead upon 'bobcat', but
can't get a good sight on the Consti-
tuition.
''He is progressive. For years he
chased the bears alone; now he chases
both bulls and bears
"He is confiding. He took In God
We Trust off the coins and then con-
fided 200,OOO,00O of them to the bank
ers of New York.
HE is contradiction. He declaims
against race suicide, but insists on keep
ing the duty on safety pins and baby
buggies.
"He cultivates the artistic He
'white-washed' Paul Morton, and is
now frescoing the reactionaries with
a tint of blue.
"He is perverse. He was given the
Vice-Presidency for the purpose OF
burying himself. He has refused to
conduct himself as well disposed
corpse should.
"He can see war cloud in a clear
heaven before breakfast, but becomes
color blind by lunch time.
Gin the South he has more admirers
than supporters; in the North, more
supporters than admirers.
"He can make "a noise like a poll

"He is magician. He can transform

House to purring kitten in the White

"He is sympathetic. When he see!

"He Is considerable. He permits thu

"He is thoughtful. Instead of intro

Are Patent
Medicines Frauds |?

We are often asked the above
question, and our answer has in
variably been that no medicine
that gives satisfactory results
could be fraudulent. We could
not afford to sell fraudulent medi-
cines. Our business depends on
pleased customers-in fact airy
business does. Therefore, we
would take an enormous risk did
we not fulfil every promise made
our customers. We are very care
full of what we guarantee, and
when we do guarantee an article
we must know it pretty we'll
what it contains and how it is
made. We have in mind the Rex
all line of remedies, particularly
Rexall Mucu- Tone, of which we
are selling large quantities at this
time of the year. Mucu-T Tone is
one article that we can recommend
over our counter and know that
ninety-eight per cent. of its pur-
chasers are going to be benefited
and will return to our store
pleased customers. Mucu-Tone
is a positive cure for internal
scrofula or what is commonly
called Catarrh. 1t is without a
doubt the peer of all tonics for
any one who is suffering from a
rundown condition, can't work,
feels constantly tired or suffering
from the more plainly described
symptoms of Catarrh-such as
stopping of the nose, cold in the
head or bad cough"
1t must be remembered that Ca
tarrh is not confined to the nose
and throat. 1t usually starts
there, but it leads more often to
serious trouble, particularly the
wasting of tissues, as in the case
of little Miss Dillon, of Albany.
Here is letter from her father:
! my little girl had catarrh so
badly that the disease had begun
to eat into the cartilage of the
nose. Snuffs and instruments
failed to do more than give tenn
porary relief. | saw the adver-
tisements of Rexall Mucu-Tone,
but | could not believe that any,
thing taken in the stomach could
cure the sore membranes of the
nose. However, I took advan-
tage of your free trial offer and
my girl began taking your remedy
according to directions. / want
to say right here that Mucu- Tone
is certainly the greatest medical
discovery of the times, and to
thank you for the liberal offer
that first induced me to give it a
trial. Muco-Tone has cured my
daughters catarrh completely,
The discharge has stopped alto
gether, and her breath is as sweet
as can be. Again thanking you,
MATT. DILLON, "a N. Swan ST.,
Albany, N. Y"
We are selling large trial bot
tie of Mucu-Tone for fifty cents
on the famous Rexall guarantee
of your money back if you are not
satisfied. We promise that one
bottle will put flesh on your bones
and bring new vitality to your
system.

A REASON
Agulia.

The U nited Drug
Co mpany, manufac-.
turers of the Rexall
Remedies, for whose
prepare tions we are
agents in this city, make
200 remedies, one for
each i'll. Each one is
especially prepared to
cure one disease, and
that only. This is an
age of specialists. You
don't contract with a
plumber to build your
whole house, do you!
Why should you contract
with one proprietary
medicine to cure all your
troubles?
Oftentimes you run
across a building con-
tractor who has a sepa-
rate plumbing depart
ment. his own clustering
department, and so on,
all of which dovetail to-
gether and build the
house. This is just what
the United Drug Com
pany is doing for you
in the medicine line.
They have cut down
profits; they manufac-
ture Rexall Remedies for
over 1000 retail drug
gists. These druggists
are the only intermediate
profit that stand between
The United Drug Com
pany and the patient.
Could the United Drug
Company, of which we
are a member, afford to
make one poor medicine
in this line? Does not
common sense tell you
that one poor medicine
would ruin the sale of
the other 100 prepara-
tionsr If you bought a
Rexall preparation and it
didn't do for you what
we claim it will, would
you buy another one of
our articles? We believe
not. Therefore each
preparation must be good
lit is good. We who
are in the drug business
know the formulas of
these Rexall prepara-
tions. We believe in
them so implicitly that
we stand back of them,
with our guarantee to
refund you your money
if they do not benefit
you.

HEARD IN PASSING.

Diamonds uncut pay no tariff tax,
probably because, according to re-
publican theory, those precious
stones are necessity for the
wealthy few. 1t will hardly help the
many to know that diamonds are to
be cheaper in consequence of the
panic.
And now comes to us the optimis-
tic and inquiring Mr. WI Ting rang,
who blandly informs us that all the
talk of war in the Orient is baseless
and that 80 far as my knowledge
goes Japan has not violated the
Portsmouth treaty with reference to
the open door policy in Manchuria. 4"
Pity the poor newspaper man, for
another print paper trust is forming
with proposed capital of $4,000

says little cash will be required"
but we doubt that, for experience
teaches us that all the corporations
want all the cash they can squeeze
out of the american people.

That the president regards the atti-
tude of republican leaders in refusing
To grant authority for building more
than two battleships as unwise, short
sighted and lacking in patriotism is
evident says a Washington writer.
He has not given up his contention
for four battleships and will appeal
to the senate even more urgently than
he appealed TO the house. When the
naval appropriation bill was taken up
in the senate an effort was made to
have the money appropriated for four
battleships but without avail. If 1t
had not been that a roll call was
choked off in the house ii is known
that many members would have voted
Cor the four ships in order TO save
their faces" with their constituents.
1t is even limited that the president
will veto other measures carrying
heavy appropriations like the public
buildings bills these bills it is known
are helpful to members of congress in
their DISTRICTS If they refuse his adj
vice to appropriate for battleships
Notwithstanding that lie may have
reasons not yet made public for re-
questing them. II need not be mat
ter Of surprise If he too can teach a
lesson in economy. The president is
persuaded that the country is with
him. in his effort TO build a powerful
navy. 1t has been planned. since the
naval committee in the senate failed
70 make provision for the four battle
ships desired by the president, that
certain senators carry the fight TO the
floor supported by another SPECIAL
even more emphatic than
that sent by the president 10 the
house.

The tariff on wood pulp has the

The New York Herald, touching on
the same subject, says: 1T would

ton is selfish and narrow minded, or
to suggest that those who are pub

MORE GRASS soMBRERos WORN.
They Are Made by Indians in the
Mountains of Mexico.

The man who almost cornered all
the grass sombreros on the North
American continent and who still
insists that there Is a fortune for
the man whose conscience will per-
NIT him to perfect the corner has
been in New York. Sombreros might
not seem to interest the United
States at all outside of the wild
west and the Spanish tinted south
west, but there's where the mistake
comes in, according to the SON.
brero man, who says that New York
itself isn't the poorest market in the
country.
Sombreros have steadily been In
creasing in demand for field and out
door workers. Last year and the
year before that fashion took them
up for women and especially for
children.
They are made in Mexico by In
dams in a certain district where the
grass of which they are woven
grows. An Indian works for a few
cents a day. and If he is not too lazy
he will finish one sombrero of the
average sort in two or three hours.
Hence the labor item is very small
AS the Indians live some distance
back in the mountains the collection
of the hats Is the biggest part of
the job. At one time they were all
brought into Mexico City on stout
little donkeys, quite hidden by their
loads of tightly packed sombreros.
In order TO get the good will Of
the Indians at first and persuade
them to sell the head gear the man
who went to Mexico found il neces-
sary to buy some thousands of bas-
kets, each one twice as high and
about as big round as a bushel bas-
ket. Then he was able to persuade
the Indians to make and sell SOM
breros at the rate he was waiting to
pay for them. Even then there was
no controlling the Indian weaver's
fancy in style and design.
Now the right man has been
found. He goes into the mountains
TO some village and shows the In
dams just what kind of sombreros,
not too heavy. not too high crowned,
not too wide brimmed, Is wanted.
The Indians weave one to he sure
ii Is right. a price is fixed and the
Indians get to work. The Indians
are paid in gold for their produc-
lions and it is said they do not have
an idea the sombreros travel beyond
Mexico City.

BRAMHALL ADMITS THEFT.
Two of the Silverthau Diamonds
Have Been Located.

New Haven, April 2S.-Cap-
tain Dunn and Detective Don
nelly returned Saturday night to-
gether with Abraham Silverthau
from Cincinnati with George H.
Bramhall, the man who has been ar
rested for the theft from the Sill
verthau store six weeks ago of dla-
monds. .Bramhall was questioned
by Captain Dunn yesterday and in
the course of the examination Bram-
hall admitted that he with pal had
committed the theft at the Silver
than store. He said that he fell in
with his pal in Albany, but could not
state where he is now. 1t appears
though that he was with Bramhall in
Cincinnati and might have been
captured there, but he learned OF
the arrest of this man and skipped
town. Bramhall said he had been
with the other man just before he
was arrested and that he had left
him to go into a sore and get a
cigar. While the pal was in the
store Bramhall was arrested and so
they did not meet again.

THAI were two set in earrings and
valued at 1926 q piece and one in a
ring worth 1925. The two in the
earrings have been located. One is
in Washington and the other in New
York and will be secured for S195
for which they were pawned. 1t
appears that Bramhall does not
know the whereabouts Of the third
diamond. Those in the earrings had
been taken out of their settings be-
fore they were pawned. The local
bureau will attempt to locate the
pal.
The real name Of Bramhall was
secured in an interesting manner.
He learned that it was intended TO
come back through Washington and
asked if he might stop of and con-
suit his attorney. Captain Dunn
asked him who his attorney was and
he replied that his name was Bran
hall. Then the captain said that was
one of his own aliases and Bramhall
replied that II was his real name and
that the attorney in Washington Is

To develop interest and instruct
people on subjects pertaining to the
relations of this country with other
countries is the ambitious object Of
the American Society of International
Law. Secretary of State Root, presi-
dent of the society is interested in its
development which he regards as
highly important to the nation. The
main plank in the platform of the
society is as expressed by its prcsi-
dent. THAT the great body of the
people in each country should have a
just conception of their International
rights and duties" Secretary Root
says further on this point, Govern
ments do not make war nowadays un-
less assured of general, and hearty
support among their people, and it
sometimes happens that governments
are driven into war against their will
by the pressure of strong popular will.
1t is not uncommon to see two gov
ernments striving in the most concil-
iatory and patient way to settle some
matter of difference peaceably, while
Il large part of the people in both
countries maintain an uncompromis-
ing and belligerent attitude, insisting
upon the extreme and uttermost view
of their own rights in way which, if
it were to control national action,
would render peaceable settlement i'm

ONIONS MAKING TEXANS RICH.
This Years Crop Expected to Bring
S1,OOO,OOO.

Laredo, Tex, April 2S.-Mr and
Mrs George c. Woodman Of Laredo
took a bridal trip to the Thousand
Islands, Boston, New York aid other
eastern cities and resorts last sum-
mer. They had been married for
nineteen years, but it was the first
time that they had the money to
spare for bridal journey.
That they had the money then was
/ due to onions. Mr. Woodman is one
of the many men who are getting
rich growing Bermuda onions. He
cleared $4,000 on eighteen acres of
onions last year.
1--WE will now take that bridal trip
which l was too poor 70 give you
when We were first married." Mr.
Woodman told his wife when he had
sold his onion crop and had the
money in bank.
Mrs Woodman is a member of the
Married Ladies club of laredo, and
when her friends heard of the bridal
trip they prepared to give iier and
Mr. Woodman a send-off. All of the
members of the club were ut the sta
ton with bags of rice and sacks of
onions, and when the couple boarded
the train they were showered with
rice and pelted with onions.
Their seats in the sleeping car
were banked with rice and their bag
gage was decorated with ribbons and
Cupid designs. The couple were
made to feel that they had lost moth
ing in the way of demonstrations of
affection on the part of .helr friends
by waiting nineteen years 10 go on
their wedding journey.
1t will not be long at the present
rate before Texas has her onion mil
lionaires. There is nothing cpecula-
tive in onion growing, at least that
has been the case up to this time.
Good prices are assured aud there
has never been a failure # The crop
since the industry was started in the
Rio Grande valley eight or ten years
ago.
In the territory Immediately ad-
Jacent to Laredo there we're 1900
acres planted in onions this season.
The crop is now being harvested. 1t
Will bring a net return of nearly ST.
900, 900.
The yield to the acre runs as high
as $4,000 pounds of onions. or a lit
tie more than one carload. Some
farmers have netted as much as
$500 an acre. A return of $4OO or
$500 an acre is common.
An onion farmer in Texas has an
ideal calling. All the labor IF seed
ing. transplanting, cultivat!ng and
harvesting the crop is performed by
Mexicans. The work does hot begin
until the latter part of September
when the weather is beginning TO
get cooler. The onions grow during
the winter and by the early part of
April they are ready to begin har-
yesting.
Onions require a large amount of
water and they can be grown here
only by means of irrigation. During
the first sixty days they must be wa
tered every day. and after that one
watering week must be given them.
The harvest is finished by the time
the heat of summer begins.
