OF the guards that publication of such
an outrage as that upon the mayor OF
New York serves to give further in

Two secret service men have al

of the house and the other the rear

goes motoring the secret service men
have usually followed in an equally
fast automobile.

Gaynor an additional guard rides on
the step of the presidents car. Each
of these men Is armed with automatic
,44-calibre pistols. and they are under
orders to shoot first and ask questions

A secret service man Is always at
the presidents side while he COILS
over the Myopia links; another looks
over all those who have business at
the Taft cottage. Even society dow
ayers, who call upon Mrs. Taft, have
to wait down the road while the Sc
cret service men call up the house
and ascertain whether their names
appear on Mrs. Taft's engagement
book, as Mrs. Taft receives callers
only by engagement.

ASSAULT DEPORED
BY BRITISH PRESS

LONDON, August 10.--The attempt
on the life of Mayor Gaynor has given
a number OF the English papers a
longed-for chance to fnveigh against
Colonel Roosevelt and his Guild Hall
speech and to liken the attempted
assassination of the mayor to the KILL
ing of Premier Boutros Pasha of
Egypt whose murder led the colonel
to question Engiand's rule in Egypt.
THE assassination of Boutros
Pasha is paralleled by the attempted
assassination of Mayor Gaynor." the
Evening Star says. VIII Roosevelt
dare to propose the disfranchisement
of New York city, or the forcibzie
dissolution of Tammany Hall? He
should do so to be consistent with
his recommendation regarding Eng
lish rule In Egypt We hope the
crime will bring home TO Roosevelt
the folly of his excursions into others
affairs
Sounds Warning.
According to the London Globe
the "Gaynor case Is the usual re-
suit of the breaking up of an extreme
bureaucratic government" II warns
I England to heed the lesson against
permitting officialdom to secure such
grip on the public as is unbreak-
able without recourse to violence.

In a recent issue, the New York Her

the formula for home made hair tonic.

remarkable hair growing properties, as
well as for stopping falling hair, revival.

eial interest to me, as the formula was
one which | myself have seen used in
countless cases with most astonishing
benefit, thus confirming my belief that
home made preparations are the best.
For the benefit of those who have not
seen it before, | give the formula here.

Procure from your druggist an eight

night and morning to the roots of the

Mr. Toss was introduced.
Directing his remarks to Senator
Lodge, Mr.. Foss said;
Working in silence and secrecy he

mated Massachusetts, politically for
years. He is seeking the counsels of
those whom he serves, tire privileged in

that he should represent the people and
that he is the representative Of the spec

record in the Senate, claiming the Sen
ator had been hostile to reciprocity with
Conada and had killed the Bay Bond
reciprocity treaty with Newfoundland.
