"a TAFT IN CALIFORNIA
He Visits Three Cities and Passes In
Review of Unfortunates

San Francisco, Oct. 6.--After
passing an entire forenoon in the
cities of Oakland and Berkeley e,
President Taft was welcomed to San
Francisco by a throng which lined
the walks in some places ten deep
along the line of march extending
over nearly three miles of the princi-
pal streets. School children of this
city, Oakland and Berkeley cheered
the president.
One of the most pathetic incidents
OF the presidents trip marked his
stay in Berkeley. He passed in re-
view OF the pupils of an institution for
the deaf, dumb and blind. The trib-
ute of flags waved with unseeing
eyes, of silent mods of the dumb and
cheers from the blind deeply i'm
pressed the president.

Fort Simpson, town of about one

The Tsmipseans. as the residents Of
the town are called, were holding a
celebration in honor Of William Dun

Metlakahtla Indians, who have had a
choral society for some years, to take
part One day in January the visitors
appeared and were met at the dock by
a large municipal delegation. They
gave two concerts, which an eyewit-
ness describes as follows:
THE soloists did their parts very

education, much less voice culture, they
compare we'll with professional singers

THE PROFESSIONAL BEGGER.
champion Recorder.]

Begging has come to be a profession
The country is full Of people making a
business of soliciting aims, all with
some hard luck story and many OF
them cripples. A crippled person al
ways excites sympathy, but the fact is,
every one of these people has or can
have a legal residence somewhere. and.
In Iowa at least, the dependent classes
are literally, even generously, cared
for. Every person who has a dollars
worth of property is assessed for this
tax, and according to the semi-annual
balance sheets OF the different counties
that we see published in our exchanges,
the poor tax is not small item by any
means. Franklin county has disbursed
nearly $4,000 out of it's county poor
fund since the hrst OF last January, be-
sides about 5000 out Of the soldiers re-
lief fund. and about $1,000 out Of the
insane hospital fund, and other coun-
ties make an equal showing 1t may
seem hard, but the proper course Is for
everybody to quit giving to beggars.
AS It is now, the ordinary travelling
beggar makes twice or three times
what an able bodied laborfhg man does
every day and the laboring man is
taxed to support the INDECENT cern-
lation of his own locality. Turn them
down cold. That is the only way. IT
is right and justice, and no man should
hesitate to set good example by so
doing

The transaction certainly shows an

the state Of Nebraska just across the

Fell From Heaven
CREATING GREAT EXCITEMENT
IN HIS NEIGHRoRHoop.

(From the Bloomington, Ind, Daily
Telephony
Mr.. Martin Vanwick drove sixteen
miles to town this morning to get
three bottles of Root Juice. He said:i
"The remedy has done wonders at
my house and everybody in my neigh
borhood is excited over 1t. II 1t had
fallen from heaven 1t could not be any
better. I wouldn't take fortune for
what 1t has done for my wife. Before
taking Root Juice she was in bed and
everyone thought her case was hope
less Even water would sour on her
stomach and gas would form and press
up against her heart so that 1t would
almost stop beating. Her tongue was
badly coated and she would complain Of
bitter, then a sour taste in her
mouth. Sometimes her bowels would
be running off and at other times she
was badly eonstipated. The doctors
said that her stomach, liver, kidneys
and bowels were all badly diseased.
When I got the first bottle Of Root
Juice she was reduced to mere, skel-
eton, and we feared that she couldn't
take 1t, as no medicine we had tried
lately would lay on her stomach, but the
first dose of the Juice seemed to soothe
her stomach and do her good. She has
used hardly two bottles, but is now out
Of bed and is rapidly recovering
strength, flesh and health. The number
of people that are going to Morgan's
drug store to inquire about the remedy
is increasing daily, as SO many Of those
who are using it are praising it very
highly to their friends. It is sold for
81 a bottle or three bottles for $3.50.
Many are buying three bottles at q time
in order to save fifty cents.

THE DOG TURNED WHITE.
[waverly independently

liW AVERY lnQepenQentl
Grandpa Pomeroy Waite, of old
Bradford, in Chickasaw county, has a
dog named Max. Max is a thorough
bred spaniel. His ancestors for sew
eral hundred years back, or less, were
recorded Max is a member of the
Waite family. He knows all the chill
dren and grandchildren Of the family
altho they are scattered from the Cedar
to Seattle. When any of the children
come to see the old folks at home, Max
meets them with welcome that wags
all over. Now old Bradford, besides
being famous on account of THE Lit
tie Brown Church." has also been Wis.,
tied by several barbecues, tornadoes
and cyclones since 1S49 Its latest cy-
clone came along one night a few
weeks ago. The next morning when
Max was released from the house
where he was sheltered that night, ii
was plain that something frishtful had
happened. Max had been scared aw-
fully. He tre,nbled more or less for
several days afterwards. Before that
cyclone, which shook and moved the
building in which the dog was housed
that night, Maxs hair was a bright
brown. A few days later it was no.
ticed that, in spots, his hair was gray
almost white. And now Maxs lail
is the color of well-cured prairie hay
1t was the cyclone that caused the
fright, and the fright caused the hair to
turn gray.

ASKING QUESTIONS,

Men are asking questions that less
than a year ago were being answered
by MI. Taft when he stood before the
country as a candidate to succeed
Roosevelt. Then Mr.. Taft was plainly
and outspokenly IN line with the coun-
try this side of the Appalachian water
shed. HIS outspoken and uncomprom-
Using attitude toward 'the interests
brought to his support the entire middle
west. 1T wanted Taft because he was
a Roosevelt man, stood for the Roose-
welt policies and for tariff revision
downward.
But now men and newspapers are
asking questions that carry a sugges-
ton of the growing fear that Taft's
performance as president Is not likely
to march with his promises as a can
didate. None has better put into words
this feeling of the west than has the
Catholic Citizen, a journal representa-
| tive of a heavy vote that came to Mr.
Taft largely from the opposition party.
1t asks, Where is he at?" and con-
tinues:
We trust that all will be we'll that
ends we'll. But we fear that the men
guiding President Taft are getting
him away from the Roosevelt trail.
Knox, his premier in the cabinet. and
Root, his confldant in the senate are
close to the "interests.' II Aldrich is
not acting up to some understanding
with the White House, it Is strange in
deed.
President Taft has vacillated First,
he wanted an Inheritance tax to sup
plement the deficit due to lowering the
tariff schedule. His message said so.
He was convinced that this would not
do. Thereupon he comes out With an
other suggestion-a corporation tax
And Aldrich brings in the bill; but spits
upon the principle, and hopes that 1t
will be repealed in 1912.
Is Mr.. Taft in the hands of his
friends? Or are The interests' un-
der the fair seeming of friendship de-
stroying his prestige for their own
sinister purposes? Let events decide
nc mater.

under sectiin "a of the Nation Bank

Mans Mean Trick on eirl..

In an evil moment the other day.
Samuel Davies, member of the Build
ers' Exchange. played about the mean
est trick that's been thought up by
anybody this esa son.
Davies was detained in his office
thru the noon hour, and was obliged to
send messenger out after one Of
those inexpensive little lunches you can
buy nicely put up for you in a paste
board box.
Among other things the lunch in
cluded a couple of neat little slabs Of
cake with pink icing on IT,
The stuff was too sweet for Davies.
He always preferred pie to cake any
how. But 1t seemed a sin to waste a
lot Of perfectly good cake-that's his
explanation, tho 1t doesn't excuse him
80 he divided the slices UP into neat
cuDes ana wrapped them in tissue pa
per taken from the same lunch box.
These portions he dealt out to the
pretty stenographers on that floor, ex-
planning to them that his sister or
brother or somebody had been married
the night before and that he had man
aged to save them some OF the brides
cake, that they might sleep with it un-
der their pillows for seven nights-or
whatever number Of nights II Island
get whatever measure Of good fortune
Is supposed to follow sleeping that way.
The several pretty stenographers
have placed chunks OF that 10-cent
lunch cake under their pillows every
night since then, little suspecting that
their dreams would avail them no more
than the dreams that follow a welsh
rabbit orgy. They may well give thanks
when they read this that there ID tree
