1E DISAPPROVES ITS TENETs

JACKSON, Mississippi, June 3
President Taft yesterday delivered an
address at the unwilling of a tablet
commemorative the establishment of
the Republican party, in which he de-
clared that socialism was the great
problem now confronting the American
people
Taft repeated his recent utterances
calling attention to the rise of social
ism, and went further, declaring that
the advance of socialistic ideas must
be skillfully met by the leaders in
American national affairs.
The President expressed the opinion
that the doctrines of socialism are dam
gerous to the development of American
citizenship, and called attention to the
socialistic tendency of much of the re-
cent criticism of social and business
conditions. He said that the revelations
which had been made of business and
political corruption in America had
tended to foster socialism, and that the
spread of its doctrines now constituted
a grave danger in the United States.

LIQUOR MEN
FEELING HAPPY
Reports of Their Campaign Com
mittee Help Brewery Stock
a Bit.

The liquor dealers association has
established political headquarters in the
Waverley block, and its campaign com
mittee has already spent thousands of
dollars in preliminary work for the com
ing special election. Meetings have
been held at very frequent intervals
lately, and the situation is thoroughly
gone over. Runners employed by the
committee report constantly the results
of their work
1t is said that the reports thus turned
in are the cause of the rise in brewery
stock, which has recovered a trife from
the big slump it suffered in the open
market when the campaign began. It
hash t got near to par vet, but the
liquor campaign committee feels en-
couraged enough by the reports its en-
ployes have brought in up to date to
cause natural strengthening of the
stock.
4 lot of money, some of which is re-
ported to be from mainland distilIeries
and brewerics, is being used by the
liquor campaign committee.

Deafness Cannot be cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition OF the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube When this tube Is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when 1t Is
entirely closed, Deafness Is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to ITS
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by Catarrh, which Is moth
ing but an inhamed condition OF the
mucous surfaces.
