FRIDAY, JANUARY 2s. 1909
PEOPLE WITH THE PRESIDENT.

A<OA isAS "tAAi
The president has made ten
strike and succeeded in arousing the
worst elements OF congress to come
forward In TRADE CT abuse against
him. Senators Foraker and Tillman
have become prominent by their
abuse OF the Chief Executive. These
men each In their turn have been
shown up as soileH statesmen and
have very foolishly tried to turn the
current OF public opinion away from
themselves by making long speeches
against the president. who has
brought home to them and the whole
country their shameful transactions.
Tillman was caught by the president
in the very act OF public land grab
Ding, and Foraker was shown to
have taken while a U. s. senator,
a $4,000 fee from the Standard OIL
Company. These two men are
showing their sores to the pbblic, IL
Illustrating the old addage
"Rogues who feel the halter draw
Have poor opinion OF the law"
In the house some few members
are trying to get themselves to the
front by initiating Foraker and Till
man, The head and front OF the Of
Tending on the part OF the president
is that he has tried to convict thieves
in high places. task which he has
the courage to carry out. The COM
mon people OF the whole country,
regardless OF party will hold Presi-
dent Roosevelt In grateful remem-
brance for the driving of thieves
from public Office and sending them
to prison where they belong.

w. G. Il. u.


The w. G. T. u meeting last FRI
day was fairly we'll attended and full
OF interest.
The Mothers Day program was
given after which Mrs. Chiles and
Mrs. Curtis, superintendent of Leg
islature, took charge. Mrs. Curtis
spoke briefly In substance, as follows.
"Our laws are good and all are en-
forced except those applying to the
liquor traffic. or course there are
violations. but every offender is sum-
marily dealt with except the viola
ters OF the liquor law. VIII some
OF our bright men exlain why one
law breaker is punished and another
goes scott free?"
Mrs Chiles then led in a short
Bible reading. the theme being the
keeping Of the Law Inviolate.
The l.. 7. l.. convened at 4 o'clock
with about twenty children In at
tendance. Glasses were formed,
teachers chosen and regular
course OF study taken up. The
superintendent had provided treat
and at the close candy was passed to
each child present, Let all the
children be present next time, Feb
ruary 5th and help the Legion to Its
very best, The w. G. T. U. has
Medical Temperance for It's topic,
February 5th, with Miss Alice
SpauldIng In charge. All friends
are welcome at these meetings.
We have limited that these liquor
signs disgracing our city ought to
come down. Now We say emphatic
ally, that II our town is dry, we see
no need OF further advertising TO
the world that the accursed saloon
Is In our midst Why should these
signs meet our gaze on the principal
streets OF our town. II our city is
clean why allow these signs to re-
main longer?
As the train stopped the other day
n stranger allghted and looking
across from the depot remarked to
a bystander; 81 see you have the
saloon here as in so many other
places" "oh, no." was the reply
"our town Is dry"
Let us not tell the passersby that
our town Is cursed by the sa-
loon by allowing these signs to re-
main longer.
We notice with alarm, the grow
ing habit OF the using OF tobacco
among our boys There is law |
torbidding the use OF tobacco. yet. |
every day there are m,.e chpdrea
seen lighting and smoking the .
deadly cigarette. when viii an
aroused public conscience say Il Is
enough, our laws must be enforced. .

STOCK MARKET
HAS DULL DAY
TRADING IN NEW YORK AGAIN
QUIET
BANK STATEMENT AWAITED BY
sPFcuLAToRs
Call Loan Channels Nominal Because
of Relieved Pressure Due
TO Approach of
Holiday
fBy Associated Press.I

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-The Saturday
trading in stocks proved to be the
quietest of the week There was some
evening up of accounts and not much
disposition to enter on new commit
ments at the end of the week and with
one business day to intervene before
another holiday on Tuesday. A deslre
to see the complexion of the bank
statement also restricted activity.
In view of the activity of the Selling
side during the week it was natural
that closing up of accounts should Do
covering over shorts for the most part.
Stock exchange loans made on Frlaay
are carried over until Monday so that
the call loan market was nominal TO-
day.
The distinctive feature Of the week
stock market is plainly shown by the
fact that of the aggregate sales or all
stocks for the week, 5,9642O0 shares'
2,037 200 shares were of United states
Steel. The stock maintained its prorh-
nence today, selling down over point
at the opening and sharing in the gen
eral tendency toward recovery IN the
whole market.
The American Railway association
reported a further reduction by one
third of the surplus of idle freight cars
The bank statement proved a reveal
tion of the prodigious lnter-Ihark keI
operations that must have been going
on during the week. The loan con-
traction In the comparison OF aver
ages reached $36,673,000 and in the
actual showing the formidable total OF
SAG, Ala, ,1OO the latter figure being in
excess of any weekly loan reduction
heretofore shown in the history Of the
clearing house.
The stock market of the weekrefect-
ed the fact of liquidation tnat must
have resulted in payment OF loans anu
the 81 $40 500 increase in average loans
of the institutions outside the clearing
house indicate the shifting process
that was going on.

LIBERAL ORGAN ATTACKS
KAISER'S TITLE GIVING
Fondness of Wilhelm for Bestowing
Honors on Nonodies Causes
Severe Criticism from Paper

BERLIN, Oct. 1O.-The kaiser's fond
ness for distributing high-sounding
titles has been bitterly attacked in
the Vossiche Zeitung, the leading lib
eral organ.
The criticism is occasioned by his
ma1esty's action in promoting the
grand duke of Baden to the rank of
field marshal "a title awarded to
Moltke only after he fought and won
the war with France" The journal OBJ
serves that the navy, (which once
contained only one admiral, now
bristles with rear admirals, admirals
and grand. admirals. while the army
has dozens of field marshals who have
never faced an enemy.
''It is undeniable that the deluge or
titles, orders and decorations when
has descended upon the country since

RESIDENT ON BORDER is
SOLDIER UNDER TWO FLAGS
FRENCH and German Armies Claim
Private Alternately, and Neither
Is Aware of Others Claim

PARIS, Oct. 10.-From the eastern
of a man who serves under two flags.
Now he dons German uniform and
nova French one, and he does his duty
to both armies without demur and in a
very conscientious manner. He is resi-
dent at Nancy, and was born in 1881
in Paris, his father and his mother be-
ing German subjects. When the due
time came he went through the usual
three years service in a regiment of
the Prussian army. But one fine day,
after his return to France, he received
notice to join a certain corps for
the four weeks training of reservists
and, promptly obeying, he was at
tached to the Sixty-ninth regiment at
Toul
In the following year came notice
for three weeks service in a Prussiar
corps, which was duly accomplished,
and now, as a Nancy telegram tells,
he has started again for similar term
of training in the Kalser's army. The
situation, however, is rather compli-
Gated by the fact that since his de-
parture o notice has been left at his
abode at Nancy for fresh period oil
training under the Tricolour But his
difficulty is likely to be got over, as
his summons leaves him just suffi-
Client time to go through his
three weeks service in Germany and
to return home to change his uniform.
1t seems to be assumed that the mill
itary authorities in each country are
ignorant of the fact that their respec-
tive armies are in possession of the
same soldier, whose experiences of the
drill and training generally in each
would be well worth recording, and
whose whole docile and accommodating
disposition has led him to raise no OBJ.
lection to service in both.

To Discuss Foods

OF the mahy congresses that address
themselves to questions of the widest
public interest q congress to be held
in Paris from October II to "a inclu-
sive makes a peculiarly strong claim
on the attention of the world. 1t Will
be wholly concerned with the question
Of food, and more particularly with
the operations that are permissible IN
the handling of food. This is the sec
ond international food congress. The
first was held at Geneva last year, and
certain definitions were then accepted
by the congress, and the discussions
this year will be largely controlled by
these definitions. Not only will or
binary food products be discussed, but
the congress will deal with the meth
DDS for the prevention of adulteration
in chemical products, drugs, essential
oils, spices, mineral waters, and so
forth. The definitions and recommen-
dations put forward by the English
speaking world, as represented by the
United States, the United Kingdom
and the British colonies, have not been
included in the program, but will form
the subject of a supplementary pro-
gram which will be issued prior to the
congress. Every civilized nation will
be represented in this great gathering.
There is no, country so highly spirit
ualized as to be indifferent to food that
is adulterated, dirty or poisonous.
