Whites Platform

Senator Hays B. White sever
al weeks ago issued platform
o. principles from which the
following is taken. He favors:
The election of U. S. Senator
by direct vote of the people.
The restoration Of the Is per
cent duty on hides
The retention of protective
duties on farm products, espec-
tally on grains and dressed
beef
A liberal application of pension
laws.
An adjustment of freight rates
that will be fair to the western
shippers.
A rigid enforcement of the
antitrust laws with such effective
provisions as to guarantee equal
ity of an opportunity to every
industry.
Free lumber, iron ore, and a
reduction in the wooden SEIZED

Rigid econmy in expenditures
of public money.
Better pay for rural mail car

In brief and in general he

It is one of the few artistic feats demanding leisure that are left to modern life. Its chief charm is that it takes time. We have a dim recollection of a fairy tale about an all powerful Russian favOrite-was it POtemkin ?-Who wanted his meer- schaum colored in a hurry. He de- tailed his guard to smoke it, two hours duty for each man, and had his pipe black in twenty-four hours. A tale no smoker will credit.
 But because smoking calls fO~ leisure the loss of meerschaum can only af- feet a limited number.

Anyone interested in the cure of Consumption should get one of the booklets telling of recOveries by the use of Eckman's Alterative.
 Coughs, Stubborn Colds and Pneu- monia may be the beginning of more serious troubles-Eckman's Alterative is. the effective remedy. Read Mir Kanalys statement:
 Saratoga, N. Y.
 "Gentlemen: For five or six years I was troubled with cough and eX- pectoration I also had a high fever My case was declared Consumption by my physician. I was given Cod Liver Oil, Creosote and other medi- cines, all without benefit.
 At Christmas time, 1906, l was not expected to live. Calling another physician, he advised the use of Eek mans Alterative, which I took with excellent results and was entirely cured.
 During the past year have gained 15 pounds. I go out in all weathers and have had no cough or cold what ever. I give these facts to encour- age others to use Eckman's Altera- tive (Signed Affidavit)

They may in these days of the Fatherland's opu- lence, and most Germans have meer- schaum cigar holders that on state oc- .casions replace the weichsel 'spitz." but the real German pipe with it's long stem, is made of china adorned with sentimental pictures in color. German carvers may mourn the loss of meer- schaum; German smokers will not miss it much.
 All the same, there are peculiar de- lights in a meerschaum pipe that would cause regret for it's relegatiOn tO museum shelves as an extinct curiosity could the Allgemeine's fears be taken seriously The smoker is a philOso- pher. however, and will reflect that to- bacco is good in whatever form it is taken. and that after all very little i'm provement has been found on the red Pocahontas clay in which it was first smoked by white men.-New York Sun.
