 Doesn't Vote at All

Washington, June 10.-Four of the Connecticut congressman voted with their party throughout the postal sav- ings bank bill fight today, namely: Representative Hill, Henry, Higgins, and Sperry. MT. Tilson failed to vote. Hill and Henry made short speeches explaining their votes in favor of the bill. MT. Hill said the socialistic fea- lures of the Senate bill had been eli- minated, and for that reason he would vote for the House bill, although Con necticut does not need a postal savings bank. MT. Henry said: 'I regard the bill as objectionable from beginning to end. but in difference to the declar- ation of the last republican national platform. and at the expressed wish of President Taft, I shall vote for the bill in the hope that time and experi- ence will justify my reluctant action"

Badajoz, Spain, June 10.-The Portu- guese army is in almost complete mu- tiny according to secret advices that came across the frontier today. To- days despatches confirm the threaten ed abdication of King Manuel and the elevation to the throne of the Duke of Oporto.
 Manuel will abdicate, it is declared, in the forlorn hope that this move will placate the growing wrath of his peo- pie. The situation in Lisbon and other places in Portugal is such that a start ling coup is momentarily expected. It is rumored that the royal family, in- cluding the Dowager Queen Maria Pia, will shortly seek refuge in Spain.

Gardner's Great Speech.

For more than an hour recently the
house of representatives listened to an
illustrated lecture on the high cost OF
living The Republicans applauded Wig
orously and the Democrats kept silent.
The lecturer was Representative Au-
gustus p. Gardner of Massachusetts,
one of the insurgent leaders and stu.
dent of political economy.
No matter what is the cause of the
increase in this country, it is not the
tariff, Mr.. Gardner asserted with the
greatest emphasis and then proceeded
to demonstrate it with the aid OF a
pointer and two enormous charts
placed before the speakers platform
One of the charts showed IN a
graphic way the fluctuations IN
wholesale prices of staple articles in
the United States and Great Britain
from 1878 to 1905 The other showed
the actual prices paid for foodstuffs by
the Massachusetts training ship Ran
ger in the summer of 1908 in Boston
and more than half dozen large
European ports.

TINY BABY'S PITlFUL CASE

Our baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema
from head to foot, all over her body.
The baby looked just like a skinned
rabbit We we're unable to put clothes
on her. At first it seemed to be few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel off leaving the un-
derneath skin red as though it were
scalds. Then a few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body, leaving the baby all raw without
skin from head to foot. On top of her
head there appeared heavy scab a
quarter of an inch thick. 1t was aw-
full to see so small baby look as she
did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors remedies but all
failed.
Then we decided tc try Cuticura,
BY using the Cuticura Ointment we
softened the scab and it came off. Un-
der this where the real matter was,
by washing with the Cuticura Soap
and applying the Cuticura Ointment,
a new skin soon appeared. We also
gave baby four drops of the Cuticura
r .solvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
ginning a little skin which would peel
off and heal underneath. Now the
baby is four months old. She Is fine
picture of fat little baby and all is
well. We only used ono cake of Cuti-
cura Soap, two boxes of Cuticura Oint-
ment and one bottle Of Cuticura Re-
solvent. II people would know what
Cuticura is there would be few suffer
ing with eczema. Mrs. Joseph Koss-
mann, st. Johns Place, Ridgewood

MUST KEEP FAITH
COUNTY, LOOKS TO PARTY TO
KEEP PLEDGES.
Impossible for Republicans tc Face
the Voters with Empty Hands
Taft Program Should Be
Strictly Adhered To.

Ii is fortunate from every point OF
view that the congressional situation
is at last showing signs OF simpifica-
tion and reduction to certainty. The
session is advanced, talk of early adj
journment is already heard, and moth
ing has yet been done. The party in
power cannot face the voters with
empty hands and futile excuses, and
if fair record is to be made there is
no time to lose.
What the executive expects of con
gress is now definite and clear. Some
of the administration bills have been
discreetly laid aside as too conten-
tious or too personal. What remains
on the Taft program is regarded by
the president as the irreducible mini
mum, and he can point to the party s
pledges as sufficient warrant for
every item thereon.
There are but five subjects on the
program: Postal savings, railroad
regulation and the commerce court,
conserVation-a subject, however,
which requires several bills to cover
immediate requirements-inju
and statehood for the last of our
contiguous" territories.
Competent observers are not, it
must be admitted, very confident OF
the successful realization of this pro
gram, limited as it is. The senate is
known to be hostile to the separate
statehood idea. and the injunction bill,
ypry conservative has strong
opposition in both houses. The postal
savings proposition has been terribly
juggled with and muddled, amend
ments which the president and law
yeTs like Root consider essential hav-
ing been reluctantly dropped TO save
the principle of the measure. The
bill may pass. but there will be grave
doubts in the public mind as to its
validity or soundness.
1t is to be devoutly hoped, there
fore that the conservation bills and
the interstate commerce measure will
be made the notable features of the
session. The differences over them
should be adjuste1 the insurgents
and the regulars should get together
and agree on amendments calculated
to put an end to suspicion, recrimina'
tion and hints at "iokers."
The people expect action, and a
spirit of cooperation and harmony is
necessary at Washington to meet
their wishes Whatever good work
congress does will reflect credit on
the whole party and on every leader
in it, whether he be regular or insur-
gent-Chicago Record. Herald.

Mr.. Taft as Traveller,

The statisticians have been keeping
tab on the president. His miles Of
travel and the number of his speeches
have been computed. He holds the
record for a twelvemonth. Well, we
have a great empire. and there arc
many important subjects for discus
sion. The president talks WELL and
the people note all he says. He could
not be better employed than by meet
ing as many of the people as possible
at their homes and talking to them
face to face about their interests and
asking their support in what they have
committed to his hands. May his
health continue and his tongue keep
In good working order.

Root VS.. Hughes on Income Tax.

Senator Root has redeemed his
pledge ITO advocate the income tax
amendment in his own state" His
letter to a member of the legislature
is powerful and well-reasoned reply
to the special Hughes message which
startled the country by recommending
rejection OF the amendment and which
has impressed good many editors.
If Albany and other solons are not
merely searching for excuses to mask
general hostility 10 the proposition,
they will ratify the amendment with
out fear or misgivipg
Senator Root an acute constitutions
al lawyer, agrees with Borah and 9TH
ers that the amendment as worded
does not empower congress to tax the
income from state and municipal
bonds He cites decisions, authorita-
tive opinions and precedents to prove
that the amendment, if ratified, could
not possibly be made by congress an
instrument OF usurpation and abuse
against the states.
The doubts and objections of Gov.
Hughes were plainly founded on a SUI
perfiCial study of the subject. The
states are not threatened with any
| thing dire, they will not be put at
the mercy of congress if the amend
ment is ratified. Hence the duty of
the legislatures is simple and impera-
tive, and to persist in opposition on
far-fctched, technical grounds will
mean, as Senator Rorah said in con-
gress to arouse suspicion among the
| people and widen the breach between
the progressives and the conservatives
accused OF reaction and 'plutocratic
| sympathies."

Secretary Meyers Bio Ships.

The impression spread abroad that
Secretary Meyer advocates the larg.

the world for the United States is
mere sensationalism In his annual
report dated December 4 1903. he
said:
I'm order to keep the appropriations
for the navy department within the
economical limit set for the government
the department recommends only the
following new construction: Two bat.

ships are recomm rnded to be of the
all big gun type. They will complete
the squadron OF eight vessels OF this
general class, the others being the
North Dakota, Delaware, Flolida,
Utah, Arkansas and Wyoming"
Secretary Meyer also said, and It Is
clew to his general construction
policy:

to the adoption of larger gun for
the latest battleships, which may per.

THE POSTAL SAVINGS BANK
Measure Must Go Through Congress,
and Republican Promises Be
Redeemed.

The postal savings bank bill should
pass for several reasons, one of them
being that the Republican national
platform of 1908 pledged the party to
the passage of such a measure. 1t
was a Democratic and not a Repub-
lican senator who said at the last ses-
sion that party platforms are written
in the night and in hurry and mean
nothing The plank in the Repub
lican platform pronouncing for the
postal savings bank system was not a
hasty, unmeaning declaration. 1t was
the party's answer to the Democratic
pronouncemeLt for the deposit guar
anty plan, which appeared to be popu-
lar in the west. President Taft re-
peated the party pledge both before
and after the election
Here is a promise which cannot be
Wriggled out of. 1t is specific, not gen
eral. 1t can be kept without the least
difficulty 1t was not a promise to en-
act legislation whose value would be
doubtful We all know that there are
classes of the population which would
avail themselves of the postal deposit
tory at once. The last report of the
immigration commission deals with
private banks run by the countrymen
of immigrants. These banks are out
side the law and irresponsible. They
seldom pay interest on deposits and
| often fail If there were postal saw
ings banks they would get the money.
We know that those banks would
bring into circulation large amount
OF money now boarded. They would
encourage thrift.
The representatives of the Repub-
lican party in congress would be un-
able TO excuse themselves if they
were to fail to carry out the party's
promise at this session. They have
| the votes If they were not to do it
now action at the short session would
be almost impossible. 1t may be more
difficult to get through the next con-
| Sress legislation promised by the Re-
publican party than through this one
