Theodore Roosevelt retires from the
Presidency with the consciousness that
he did the best he could With the light he
had, and with the benediction of large
majority of the American people, swell
done thou good and faithful servant"
Roosevelt made few mistakes, and nat
urally good many enemies, for the man
who accomplshes things is bound to
jostle and trample on the sore corns of
rooted evil. That he was vigorous Elk.
ecutiye striving always for "the greatest
good to the greatest number" will not be
seriously questioned except by the un-
duly prejudiced, says the Punxsutawney

In his inaugural address President
Taft significantly says: II have had the
honor to be one of the advisers Of my dis
tinguished predecessors, and as such, to
hold up his hands in the reforms he has
initiated. 1 should be untrue to myself,
TO my promises and to the declarations of
the party platform upon which l was
elected to office, if 1 did not make the
maintenance and enforcement of those
reforms most important feature of my
administration" That doesn't sound as
though there we're any strained relations
between Taft and Roosevelt, as some
hopeful enemies OF the latter have of late
tried to make appear.

Two years ago my daughter stepped
on needle, breaking it of in the ball of
the foot, which swelled up very painful Y
swelling to the knee. The doctor at Co
wanda lanced the foot, but was unable to
find the needle. The X ray was applied,
and we could see the needle. We then
applied San-Cura Ointment, thick as a
poultice, and after four applications the
needle made its appearance, Gust as Mr..
Thompson said it wauld) and was taken
out to the great relief OF my daughter,
and all the family, as she had suffered a
great deal, and every step panied her.

TALK is cheap, but its transmission
across the continent seems destined to be
cheaper. The talking post card is the in
vention of French engineer and is soon
to be introduced into the United States.
The person wishing to send a talking
postal card TO friend, enters booth and
words on the specially prepared postal
card. When the recipient receives the
card hundred or thousand miles away,
be or perhaps she, takes the card to the
nearest postal booth and inserts it in a
machine which talks the message it con-
tains. The record on the postal card is
indestructible, and the exact voice of the
sender is heard.

THE New York Tribune says that never
before in our time has the entry of new
President into Office marked so slight a
break politically between the present and
the past. The new President enters Of
flee under the most favorable conditions.
He has the respect and confidence of the
whole country. His experience fits him
in an exceptional degree for the work of
administration. He possesses poise,
breadth of view, sanity, charity and a
wholesome sense of humor. He can be
firm, as well as just and kind. He has
himself helped to break the path which
his administration is to follow. We can
see no emergencies ahead of him for
which he is not fully prepared.

Around the World.

Ensign Hiram l.. Irwin, U. S. N, ar
rived at his home in Franklin Saturday
afternoon after a cruise of about two and
one-half years in Asiatic waters, and dur
ing which he made a trip around the
world. Ensign Irwin sailed on the
"Pennsylvania" to Gibraltar, through the
Mediterranean, Isthmus and Gulf of
Suez, Straits OF Malacca, Indian ocean,
Yellow sea, by way of the Pacific ocean
to the Philippine Islands, Japan, China,
Guam, Hawaii, and to Puget sound. He
was stationed at Chinese ports in Asiatic
waters and was at Shanghai when his
mother, the late Mrs. H. M. Irwin, died
on September 10. 1907. Ensign Irwin
did not hear ofhis bereavement until six
weeks after the sad event occurred. Dur
ing his absence he wrote a letter home
every week. During his cruise Ensign
Irwin travelled about 10000 miles and has
many interesting stories to relate con-
cerning the countries and races of people
he visited. He brought home with him
large number of curios.
Among the articles which he took with
him on his long trip is violin said to be
over century old. This musical instru-
ment was once the property of the late la
mented Peter o. Conver, editor of the de-
funct Forest Press, whose death occurred
in Tionests in 1878, who was something
of a fiddler in his day, and who willed
his violin to our townsman Judge Irwin,
who in turn presented the rare old "geig"
to his favorte yonng nephew, who is a
fine amateur violinist

President Taft Inaugurated.

The inauguration of President Taft
was conducted according to schedule on
Thursday last, but much of the prog am
which provided for outdoor exercises
had to be abandoned an account of the
abomnable weather which the weather
man furnished for the occasion, and the
ceremonies were conducted in the Senate
chamber The new Presidents inaugur-
al address was, of course, the principal
feature, and as expected, it was a very
straightforward outline of what his pol
icies shall be and what he hopes, with the
aid of Congress and the people, to accom-
plish in the course of his term.
Following are some ofthe salient points
of his address:
The Roosevelt reforms shall be an i'm
portsnt feature of my administration.
Immediate revision of the tariff in a
manner to provide proper revenues and
to prevent business embarrassments.
A graduated inheritance tax.
Economy of expenditures to make the
burdens Of taxation as light as possible.
Provision for permanent improve
menis, like the Panama canal and Ohio
river deepening, by issues of bonds.
a Modern navy in readiness for any
emergency.
Protection of aliens within our borders
under treaty rights.
Establishment of postal savings bank
system.
To wipe out sectional feeling.
Protection for the negroes without af-
front TO the whites.
Help and encouragement for labor
without legitimatizing the secondary

power to issue iniunctions.

Good Cough Medicine for children.

The season for coughs and colds is now
at hand and too much care cannot be
used to protect the children. A child is
much more likely to contract diptheria or
scarlet fever when he has cold. The
quicker you cure his cold the less the
risk. Chamberiain's Cough Remedy is
the sole reliance of many mothers, aud
few of those who have tried it are willing
to use any other. Mrs. +. f. Starcher, of
Ripley, W. Va. says; al have never
used anything other than Chamberlain $
Cough Remedy for my children, and it
has always given good satisfaction" !"
This remedy contains no opium or other
narcotic and may be given as confidently
TO child as to an adult. For sale by
Dunn Il FultOn.

In the House at Harrisburg last night
the local option bill was up on second
reading and met with defeat by a vote of
