PROVEN ECZEMA CURE.

Fol several years we have announced,
with our recommendation, that we had
found a positive cure for eczema; a
simple skin wash. oil of w~intergreen
compounded with other healing ingre-
dents.
Yet we know there are people right
in this town who have eczema, and still
have never tried his remedy.
We have, therefore, arranged with
the d. D. D. Laboratories. of Chicago.
for a special offer of a trial bottle at
rs cents, instead of the $1.00 bottle, AZ
regularly sold. Be sure of the correct
name: D.. ID. D. Prescription.
We offer this trial bottle with our
recommendation and assurance that
just as soon as the patient washes his
itching skin, this mild liquid will take
the itch away instantly.

passage:

Job Hedges's RetOrt.
Mr.. Hedges started his address by
saying that during the time Governor
Fort was speaking he had grown a
year older, midnight having passed and
carried him into another day, the ami
yersary of his birth.
MIR. Hedges's speech was bitingly
sarcastic. filing the regular Republic
cans present with glee at what they
considered an attack upon Governor
Fort The Hedges address was. in
effect, the same that he has several
times made in his ~so-called anti-Hughes
propaganda. He raped hypocrisy in
public life and declared that when a
mar said what was not honestly in his
heart he hurt not only his hearers but
all men. HI addressed himself on two
occasions to Governor Fort, saying once
that he never had known the republic
was in such great danger and recalling
Ii was in danger more times than
any republic that he had ever heard of.
He declared that the majority ruled in
this country and that the legislatures
must suit the people or they wouldn't
elect them.
Some significance was attached to
the departure of former Governor
Franklin Murphy just before Governor
Fort spoke. He left at the same lime
that the President withdrew. He and
Governor Fort are very much at
swords points. Mr.. Murphy, as State
Republican chairman. it will be re-
membered, has expressed public disap-
rroval of the Governor.

Repeating with emphasis the address
which so angered the Republican State
Senate on April 2, Governor Fort at the
Passaic Board of Trade dinner last
night urged his hearers to send better
men to the Legislature. He said Pas
sale was a little better than some
places, but insisted that the men who
would pay a high price to go to a BAN
quet like that were not attending the
primary elections. He charged that the
Legislature and the national Congress
were dominated by paid Hobbies main
tanned by the special interests that de-
sired to enrich themselves from the
public purse.
The 300 men and women who occupied
seats in the galleries applauded voeif-
erously all that the Governor said, the
men shouting, Go onl' go on!"
You're talking TRUTH" Keep it up!"
and similar encouragement when he
would have stopped, despite the fact
that 1t was after midnight. The APP
plause was less controlled and more
prolonged than that which had greeted
the dignified address of President Taft,
who was the guest of honor.
Job q. Hedges, of New York, the
speaker to follow Mr.. Fort, made what
some considered a reply to the Gov
ernor, declaring that men were never
so patriotic and enthusiastic as at a
banquet and that it vas easy to make
Understanding speeches. Some men
would rather get applause than speak
the truth, he averred. He raped
political and official hypocrisy, and by
Inference pleaded for party regularity
as against its opponents. 1t was, in
effect, what he has said in attacks upon
Governor Hughes's course in New
York.

Mr.. Taft told us, what he is doing
as the nations chief executive to se-
cure legislation. This situation of the
executive being held responsible for
laws has grown up in Il day. 1t was
rot the intention of the fathers that we
who are elected to executive office
should do what we are doing today,
but somehow the people have come to
force us to TAKE a hand in legislation
and to look to us to see that party
pledges are kept. Congress Is too large
to fix the responsibility for legislation
upon any individual, the Legislature
is too large to place the responsibility
there, so you put it on us of the

You are responsible for this situa-

laws more than you have been in the
habit of doing. 1t Is often the case to-
day that we find men coming to Tren-

ton at Washington-the people asking
the Governor and the President to

dent to come to you and ask hat you
help him make Congress live up to the
pledges of the party which is in con-
troll of all branches of the national
government?
Raps "thc interests.
why is it in the legislative halls at
Trenton and Washington men fail to
do what they and their party have
promised? Why is it that bills aimed to
give the people what they want and
what has been promised to them are
not promptly reported out of commit
tee and put to a vote and passed? Why
are such bills held up and killed in

You want it. All the people want it.

Gently arrived in Washington and
visited the secretary of the treasury
for the purpose of calling his atten-
ton to the revelation previously re-
ported by General Bristow.
While Secretary Richardson was not
very much upset by Kings story, he
thought it was a case that ought to be
investigated. Consequently Mr.. Ban
field, the solicitor of the treasury, was
called into the conference and 1t was
determined to take the trio of Ken
tuckians to New York City, where the
work necessary for unraveling the
plot was expected to take place. This
city was then, as now, the headquar-
tiers for frenzied finance. King, his
lawyer and Colonel Hoagland, for the
purpose of better maintaining secrecy,
separated from the company Of the
solicitor and quartered themselves at
the Metropolitan hotel. 1t had been
previously arranged that King should
come to meet me at the Fifth Avenue
hotel. At the appointed time he sent
up his card, upon which was written
