mon will be in 1913 and then by only
one year. Mr.. Harrison was sixty-eight
when he was inaugurated. He occu-
pied the White House only one month.
Mr.. Harmon's name has been known
to the people Of the United States since
1895. when he was selected by Presi-
dent Cleveland for the post OF attorney
general. Before that time Ohio recog-
niZed him as one Of the leading attor-
neys OF Cincinnati and as an occupant
Of the state bench. The curious inter-
relations OF the public careers Of Jud-
son Harmon and William H. Taft. who
may be rival candidates for the presi-
dency IN 1872 have been the subject Of
frequent comment. AS one writer put
it recently: Always Harmon has fol-
lowed Taft or Taft has followed Har-
mon. Harmon resigned as Judge IN
Ohio, and Taft took his place. Taft re-
signed as judge, and Harmon took his
place"
1t may be noted here that the two
men have a very high personal regard
for each other an5 hare spoken In
each others praise before public as

praise Of each others politics. Mr..
Harmon was Republican in early life.
but left the party in 1872. Since that
time he has been known a. q con-erva-
tive Democrat, a great lawyer and
good fighter. He IS the 1on of a Bap-
fist minister, a graduate OF nenison
university and Of the Cincinnati Law
school. The recent Democratic con-
vention at Dayton presented his name
for the presidency in 1912 and indorsed
his candidacy.
In Ohio, as elsewhere. experience IN
politics counts for much in the hunt for
office. In that respect Warren G. Hard
ing, the Republican candidate for the
governors chair, is almost as well
equipped as his Democratic antagonist
despite the disparity in years. While
Governor Harmon may be said without
disparagement to be on the down grade
OF the years. Mr.. Harding is still on the
sunny side Of the ascent. For the
greater part OF his forty-five years he
has been politician, always seeking
the bubble reputation-not in the can
mons mouth, but in the public eye. His
road to politics led through the edito-
rial room. Soon after leaving College
Mr.. Harding decided that Journalism
was the profession for him. He ac-
cordingly took over the Marion Star. a
rundown proposition, and made II one
Of the best paying properties OF itc size
in the state. Largely by his editorial
writings he became known to the Ohio
public outside Of Marion.
Mr.. Harding is known throughout the
state for the facility with which he
uses language. both orally and in print.
AS a campaigner Ohio has not had
many men superior to him. and that Is
saying great deal when one considers
how large a crop OF politicians is raised

The appalling magnitude OF the sacri-
nee Of human life and limb laid on the
altar Of American indUsTialism was
illustrated at the recent convention OF
the manufacturers association in New
York. when it was asserted that in the
past year preventable accidents killed
or injured 300. 900 workmen IN the Unit
ed States. entailing an incalculable
amount Of misery on their dependent
families and causing a loss OF at least
$3.50. 900 to the employers. In writing
on this subject DR.. Strong, quoted
above, said:

pressure civilization which Is simply
appalling. and the cost in life and limb
is rapidly increasing from year to year.

OHIO'S CAMPAIGN OF NATIONAL INTEREST

and various reasons. 1t is considered a
pivotal state. Two years ago Ohio
gave President Taft a plurality Of 60 =

This year Harmon is running again for
governor. His opponent. Warren G.
Harding has Mr.. Taft's approval
The crux Of the Ohio situation is

LET YOUR STOMACH HAVE ITS
OWN WAY.
Do Not Try to Drive and Force it to
Work When it is Not Able or
You viii Suffer all the More.

You cannot treat your stomach as
some men treat balky horse; force,
drive or even starve it into doing
work at which it rebels The stom-
ach is patient and faithful servant
and will stand much abuse and ill
treatment before it "balks, but when
it does you had better go slow with
it and not attempt to make it work
Some people have the mistaken idea
that they can make their stomachs
work by starving themselves. They
might cure the stomach that way, but
it would take so long that they would
have no use for stomach when they
got through. The sensible way out of
the difficulty is to let the stomach
rest ii it wants to and employ a sub
stitute to do its work.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do
the work of your stomach for you and
digest your food just as your stomach
used to when it was well. You can
prove this by putting your food in a
glass jar with one of the tablets and
SullClSuL WdLcl anu you W IA otS lH-
food digested in just the same time as
the digestive fluids of the stomach
would do 1t. That will satisfy your
mind. Now, to satisfy both your
mind and body take one of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets after eating-eat
all and what you want-and you will
feel in your mind that your food is
being digested because you will fee
no disturbance or weight in your
stomach, Just as you did when you
were healthy boy or girl.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act in q
natural way because they contain only
the natural elements of the gastric
Juices and other digestive fluids of the
! stomach. It makes no difference wha
condition the stomach Is IN, they 81

do their work. They know their bust

The report of the Iowa waterways
commission which. will soon be print.

formation for the public regarding
the rivers, lakes and lands of t
state. The commission has extended
its inquiry into a great many chan

sive water power. The members OF
the comission held session last week
with Major Richie of the United

survey work along the Des Moines
river, and much time was taken UT
! in deciding whether the locks in the
4 thirty or more big dams to be built
! in the Des Moines river are to be
| fifty-five or sixty-fve feet wide. This
depends upon the size of the steam
| ships that are to come to Des MONIES
from Neokuk. In addition to the
dams and locks there will have te
be great many bikes built to pro
tect the bottom lands from overflow

work done in Strengthening the rive

of the farms along the rivers. 1t Is
found that thousands of acres OF lant
along the Des Moines river are sub
iect to overflow and the work which
the state proposes will be helpful il
preventing this overflow, thus in
creasing the value of the land. Th'
report OF the commission will als'
touch upon drainage and lake reser
voirs and similar matters.
