THE RETURN OF PRESIDENT
TAFT.

With the return this week Of Presi-
dent Taft from his l3,0OO-mile swing
around the country, the real activities
in preparation for the long session OF
Congress viii begin.
The President viii have been eight
weeks en- tour. lie viii come back
with an excellent idea of the eondi-
ton of national sentiment and the ma
ture Of its demands on his Administra-
ton.
There viii begin Immediately a series
of preliminary conferences, designed to
develop the program which viii be sent
to Congress with the Endorsement of
the President. Senator Cummins, who
VIII arrive in Washington at the same
time as the President, has ventured the
opinion there viii be fighting from the
start, and everything indicates he is
correct. It Is apparent, from the
speeches the President has been max
ing. that he has a series of projects
which win make vastly more appeal
to the Cummins type of statesmen than
to the Cannon Aldrich group. The lat
ter have not been disposed to yield up
their views. They opposed Roosevelt
at every point; they made him fight for
every bit of achievement credited to
his Administration; and there is no
reason to doubt they viii do the same
Senator Cummins sets out for the
Capital with the blithe announcement
he is looking for a fight and is ready
to help get it under way with the least
delay possible. We viii see some fine
doings before the end of the session.
The developments of summer and au-
tumn make it certain the nerves OF
insurgency viii be steadier and its num-
bers greater than last spring, when the
handful OF recalcitrants, in either
house, managed to make business ex-
oeedingly active for the organizations.
But the most important feature of the
new situation is the President mani
testify must ally himself, this time, with
the forces Of insurgency. He is going to
demand the things they want; perhaps
not all, but at any rate a considerable
part. With the country plainly and in
creasingly insurgent, and with the Ad-
ministration ready to help it get its
sentiments formulated into laws, it is
already plain enough the tables are like
~ to be turned The division Of forces
win be nearly even, or TO the advan-
tage of the progressives, provided al
ways the Democrats in both houses
stand by the progressive program.
Mr.. Taft Of course must rely, as Mr..
Roosevelt did, for a preponderance Of
his support from the minority party;
that is, for that support which viii
assure whatever measure of success he
may gain, and force unwilling Repub-
icans of the conservative school to ac-
eept his views.
The Democrats seem habitually to
occupy the position Of chief supporters
of a program from which they can gain
little political advantage, and yet which
could make no progress without them.

ANOTHER GREAT RAILWAY
SYSTEM FOR THE SOUTH.

The Seaboard Air Line railway, re-
habilitated and stronger financially and
physically than ever before, has been
restored to the directorate of the com
pany. The operation of the system
viii be watched with the greatest in
terest not only in Washington, the
lines terminal, and in Baltimore, where
the greater system was founded and
financed, but throughout the Southeast,
in the development of which it has
played an important part.
Reaching some of the most important
commercial cities in the South and
serving a territory rich in natural re-
sources and developing at a rapid rate,
the Seaboard Air Line railway is de-
stined to become one Of the most i'm
portant factors in the upbuilding Of the
great stretch Of country south Of the
Potomac and east of the Mississippi.
The stock and bondholders of the com
pany have every reason TO feel satisfied
with the outcome of the receivership.
They were not called upon 20 make
any sacrifice and they have che salts
faction of knowing that the receivers
eradicated the causes that were re-
sponsible for bankrupting the property.
Few railroads in the country were
burdened as was the Seaboard for a
few years preceding the receivership.

Home Cure for Eczema
Oil of Wintergreen, Thymol,
GIycerine, Etc, Used as a = +
Simple Wash 80 -

It really seems strange THAT so
many people suffer year in and year
out with eczema, when it is n owI no
longer a secret that oil Of winter
green mixed with thymol, glycerine,
etc., makes wash that is bound to
cure.
Old, obstinate cases.. il is true,
cannot be cured in a few days, but
there is absolutely no sufferer from
eczema who ever used this simple
wash and did not find Immediately
that wonderfully soothing, calm,
cool sensation that comes when the
itch is taken away. Instantly upon
applying a few drops of the wash
the remedy takes effect, the itch is
allayed. There is no need of exper-
iment-the patient knows at once. :,
Instead of trying to compound the
oil of wintergreen, thymol, 2lycer-
inc, etc., in the right proportions
ourselves we are using a prescr1p-
ton which is universally found the
most effective. 1t is known as the
D. D. D. Prescription, or Oil of
Wintergreen Compound. It's made
by the D. D. D. Co. of Chicago, and
our long experience with this RENE
dy has given us great confidence in
it's merits. Taggart's Rexall Store.

Strange as the story may appear

forepaws, while his comrades drag

brown rats accomplish the feat from
stair to stair in farm house in
Banffshire, the first anxious rodent
pushing the egg up on it's hind leg,
and the second assistant lifting it up
with its foreIegs. 1t was the best
athletic feat ever witnessed, but 1t
is not out of the common.
The rat will extract the cotton from
flask of Florence oil, dipping in his
long tail, and repeating the maneuver
until he has consumed all that can
be reached e,-e aq-e4s

deep drawer at a distance Of thirty
feet from the place where the petty
larceny was, committed. and a friend
once saw rat mount table on
which a drum of figs was fixed and
straightway tip it over, scattering its
contents on the floor below. where
a score of his expectant brethren sat
watching for the windfall.
