GENUINE DISEASE
GRAFT, GRAFT, GRAFT-THE MI
CRO6E LIES DEEP IN EVERY
CITIZEN.

South Bend, Ind, Nov. 30,-Dr. G.
Frank Lydston of Chicago, in address
ing the St. Joseph Medical society in
annual session last night, declared
that graft was a genuine disease, a
euphemism of the common variety of
theft and the sooner people cease
using the euphemism and call spade
a spade die sooner will graft be
eliminated from the body socially and
politically.
A study of graft Is a study of the
human nature" said DR.. Lydston,
The graft microbe lies in wait deep
down in the system of the average
citizen. 1t feeds on opportunity and
necessity. The man who coyets the
annual pass from the railroad com
pany or looks the other way when
the conductor on the street car is
collecting his tickets has the symp-
toms of graft in its incipiency.
The protests of the American peo-
pie have been most yociferous AGAINST
three formidable varieties of graft
ters-the corrupt politician, the true
sucker; the octopean corporation and
the man who fattens on the proyident
demand of the public insurance pro
lection for the family"

APPROPRIATION
FUND CHANGED
FUND FOR EDUCATIONAL PUR-
POSES DISCONTINUED - PRE-
PARE NEW BILL.

Washington, Nov. 30.-The house
committee on Indian affairs has del
egated Chairman Burke and Repre-
sentatives Campbell of Kansas and
Stephens of Texas as a SuD-commit
tee to prepare the Indian appropri-
ations bill. The draft OF the bill now
before the committee, which was
prepared by the commissioner of
Indian affairs, contains several in
teresting changes.
The Dawes commission is allow
ed 100000 this year against $780,
900 last year.
There will be an appropriation OF
$4,000 for the continuance OF the
Chilocco Indian school in northwest
ern Oklahoma. Last year Represent
ative MCGUIRE sought to have con
gress donate this school properly,
amounting TO 10000 acres. to the
state of Oklahoma for an asylum,
but the Indian commission. which
visited the property this summer,
finds it is too valuable a gift to
deed to the state.
The appropriation oil last year of
$4,000 for general educational pur.
poses for the Indiaus will not be
continued; in former years this ap-
preparation was 100000 a year
There will be appropriated, as last
year, $4,000 to continue the work
of Indian agencies, but this year
the money will be available for
western Oklahoma as well as for
the eastern part of the state. This
means that three agencies that were
closed this year will be re-opened
next year.

In The Oil Field.

Lenapah, Okla, Nov. 3O.-Well NO
10, on the Rooney lease, Elrod land,
west of here, was shot recently, and
it is reported that it was good for
1000 barrels the first twenty-four
hours. This is the third good well
to be shot on this lease within the
past two weeks, and each one is bet
ter than the last.
The third well on the Jesse era
ham lease, Taylor land, was shot at
the same time, but only ran ABOUT
800 barrels. This lease joins the
Rooney lease ON the east. Lack of
water has made it necessary to driIl
several water wells on this lease.

TRUCE ON RULERS.
Diaz and Reyes Combination to
Quell Unrest.

FL Paso, Texas, Dec. l.-GeneraI
Bernardo Reyes will soon be re
called from Europe to be made vice
president of Mexico and will even
tualiv be made the acting presi-
dent. according to a despatch from
Mexico City to the FL Paso Herald.
This step has been decided upon
by the Diaz government to pacify
the people and Quell the unrest
which resulted in the recent up
rising. General Reyes was sent
abroad by the government some
months ago to study European meth
ods and has practically been an eX-
lie from his native hearth ever
since.
President Corral, who is in Ill
health, will soon leave for Europe.
The present plan is sad to be that
he will be succeeded by Reyes and
that President Diaz will retire in
about a year in favor % the new
vice president.

POLICE JUDGE OWEN
ASSESSES FINES
OF FIFTY DOLLARS AND THIRTY
DAYS IN JAIL FOR SELLING
WHISKY.

Judge John Owens handed a pack
age to a whisky peddler in the police
court that will hold him for a while.
Last night the police had as their
guest a party that was picked up on
the street very drunk, and when he
was arraigned in court this morning
he divulged the name of the. party
who sold him the liquor.
An officer was sent for him and he
was brought into court and given a
chance to disprove the statement Of
the informer, this he failed to do and
Judge Owens assessed a fine of fifty
dollars and sentenced him to the
county Jail for thirty days.
An appeal was taken and a cash
bond was made by him in the sum
of $3.50. Judge Owens said that un-
less the appeal bonds in such cases
are forthcoming before the commit
ment can be made out that all such
parties will spend a little time in
jail anyhow.
The party who pleaded guilty of
being drunk was fined $40.

TREND
TOWARD CITIES
CENSUS FIGURES SHOW CITY
INCREASE AT EXPENSE OF RU-
RAL DISTRICTS.

Washington, Nov. 3O-The same
tendency of population TO gather in
the cities at the expense of the ru-
raj districts is shown by the census
returns from the s,a;es OF Tennes.
see and Minnesota, male public by
the census bureau today, as has
been shown by the census returns
of other states, both east and west
The present population of Tennes'
see is 2,lSi,7S9, as compared with
2,O20.616 in 1900 and 1,76751S in
1890, an increase of l54,ll3 or 81
per cent in the lasJ ten years.
There are ninety-siX counties in Ten
nessee, and of this number thirty
six rural counties how a falling
off in population in the ten-year pc
riod. But only two counties show
ed a falling off in population in
the census of 1900, as compared
with 1890, as well as the present
census as compared with the pre-
vious one. In other words, the ten
dency toward congestion Of popula-
ton in cities at the expense of the
rural regions has only become mark
ed in Tennessee in the last deca-e.
The present population of Mime
sofa. as reported oy the census
bureau today. is 2,07570S, as com
pared with 1,751,39i in 1900 and
1,3O1.S26 in 1890, an increase in
the last decade of 32i,314 or 1S.5
per cent, and in the the previous de-
cade of 449,56S or 3i,5 per cent
or the eighty-five counties of Min
nesota, twenty-eight show a falling
off in population in the present
census as compared with that of
1900. In many cases the loss is
slight. but the who.e showing en-
phasizes the general tendency of
pop Iation to desert the farm and
congest in towns.
Tennessee's increase in popula'
ton in the last ten years of only
$4,000 is not enough to give her
an additional member of congress,
unless the new apportionment bill
to be passed. at the coming sessions
allows additional members on the
major fraction basis of congress
sional representation is left at the
present figure or lifted to either
100000 or 25O,0O0, Tennessee might
be given an additional member be-
cause her population has increased
by a figure more than half that of
the new basis OF representation. On
such basis as this Minnesota's in
crease in population of $4,000 would
entitle her, certainly to one ant
perhaps to two, new members of
the house. The state now has nine
members. Tennessee has ten at
present.

TAFT HAS NO FAVORiTES.
President to Participate in Fall Cam
paign Only in General Manner.

Beverly, Mass.--It was authoritative
ly announced on Wednesday that
President Taft's participation in the
campaign this fall will be wholly of a
general character. Whatever the
president may have to say on politics
will have to do with the work of the
last congress and in proclaiming that,
to his way of thinking, the Republican
representatives placed in power two
years ago have kept their 18th and
have carried out the party pledges.
The president will attempt to read
no one out of the party. Neither W L
we have any candidate for any office.
Personal friendship for William Loeb
led the president in friendly way to
suggest that he would make a good
candidate for governor of New York.
But he has stated that it was not his
intention to interfere in the affairs
o. any state and he will adhere strictly
to this policy

IL Is a Mistake

Many have the idea that anything
will sell If advertised strong enough.
This is a great mistake. True, a
few sales might be made by advertis-
ing an absolutely worthless article but
it is only the article that is bought
again and again that pays. An ex-
ample of the big success of worthy
article is the enormous sale that has
grown up for Cascarets Candy Cathar-
tic. This wonderful record is the result
of great merit successfully made known
through persistent advertising and the
mouth-to-mouth recommendation given
Cascarets by its friends and users.
Like all great successes, trade pi-
rates prey on the unsuspecting public,
by marketing fake tablets similar In
appearance to Carcarets. Care should
always be exercised in purchasing well
advertised goods, especially an article
that has national sale like Cascar-
cts. Do not allow substitute to be
palmed off on you.

checked it's progress. That the entire
town was not destroyed is salt to have
been remarkable, as 1t consits OF

Controlled Newspapers.

The Atchison Globe says that no ad.
vertiser has ever tried to control its ed
itorial policy, the remark being occa-
stoned by the charge often made nova
days, that the big advertisers direct
the editorial policy of newspapers.
The experience Of the Globe is the
experience OF most newspapers. The
merchant who does great deal of ad.
vertising is more interested In the cir.
culation department of newspaper
than In the editorial department. II q
daily paper goes to the homes of the
people, and is read by them, he is salts.
fed, and 1t may chase after any theory
or fad, for all he cares. He has troubles
of his own, and he isn't trying to Shout
der those of the editorial brethren.
There are newspapers controlled by
people outside of the editorial rooms,
and a good many of them, more's the
pity; but the people exercising that
control are not the business men who
pay their money for advertising space.
The newspapers which are established
for political purposes are often con-
trolled by chronic offieeseekers, whose
first concern is their own interests.
There are newspapers controlled by
great corporations, and the voice OF
such newspapers is always raised in
protest against any genuine reform.
The average western newspaper usu-
4
is supposed to be in duty bound to make
all sorts of sacrifices at all sorts Of
times; there are people who consider
it his duty to insult his advertisers,
just to show that he is free and indie
pendent. If he shows a decent respect
for his patrons, who pay him their
money, and make 1t possible for him to
carry on the business, he is "subsi-
died or controlled" The newspaper
owner y business man, like the dry
goods man or the grocer The mer-
chants are expected to have considera-
ton for their customers, and they are
not supposed to be subsidized by the
man who spends five dollars with
them, but the publisher is expected to
demonstrate his courage by showing
that he is ungrateful for the patron
age of his friends. 1t is funny COM
bination when you think 1t over
