TIME FOR HIS DEPARTURE
AS Close Friend Knew, That Frame Of
Mind Was Not Apt to Be a
Lasting One.

Ben, T. Rice and Hymen Levy, both
now dead, were two of the real old
Virginia characters in a small Pied
mont county seat town; Ben was the
keeper of the town inn and Hymen, a
genuine Jew, ran a store. Ben was
noted for profanity, drinking and gam
bling and telling unheard of yarns,
Hymen was a daily visitor at the inn
to get his dram, and at times became
thoroughly shocked at Ben's outra-
geous language and manners. Ben,
one evening, joined the town boys in
an exciting game Of football on Main
street, became overheated, and, cool
ing off too quickly, went into pneu-
monia at night. Several physicians
attended him, who soon pronounced
his case hopeless. A dozen OF more
of Ben's friends, among them Hymen,
were standing around the bed just be-
fore Ben's spirit took its flight from
earth, when Ben uttered a long groan
and said: ooh, Lord, have mercy on
me-" At this moment Hymen turned
his head slowly and remarked: THE
good Lord ought to take Ben right
now, for he never will be so good nc
more"

Who Profits hy the TARIFF

Speaker Cannon, John Dalzell and
the whole school of political stand
patters are persistent in their declara-
tions that the laboring man is the
greatest and most direct beneficiary
Of the protective tariff system.
The American Banker, certainly
conservative enough to suit even a
New England senator, has been ma
king some tariff inquiries, as a result
of which it says:
Bankers know, better than any one
else, that high prices do not--as has
been claimed-beneft the consumer,
even appreciably. In the past ten
years dividend earnings have in
creased something over 1871 per cent,
commodity prices have risen nearly 46
per cent. and wages have only been
raised about 20 per cent. This is
proof positive that a protective tariff
yields greater advantages to capital
and the income receiving classes, F"
The American Banker may as we'll
prepare at once to be read out Of the

A sIluht Mistake.

Bubbling over with enthusiasm in
his speech at the Montauk clubs din
ner in honor of his seventy-sixth birth
day, Chauncey M. Depew said:
THE mar who holds in his hand the
destiny and the good of many genera
tions to come, the one man who fills
the eye Of the public of the whole
world today, is Theodore Roosevelt"
We fear the senator was general
izing from a special case. 1t is not
the destiny Of the American people
but the destiny of Chauncey M. Depew
that Mr.. Roosevelt holds in his hand.
If the Little Father should take a no
tion to represent New York in the
United States senate as the colleague
Of Elihu Root, thousands Of Depew
speeches would have been franked in
vain to friendly constituents. The
next senator would be Roosevelt or a
Democrat.
The destiny of the American people,
however, is quite a different thing. 1t
is still in the hands of 10000, 900 Amer
leans,

AN INT0LERABLE ITCHING

Just about two years ago, some
form of humor appeared OF my scalp.
The beginning was a slight itching but
1t grew steadily worse until, when l
combed my hair, the scalp became
raw and the ends of the comb-teeth
would be wet with blood. Most Of the
time there was an intolerable itching,
In a painful, burning way, very much
as a bad, raw burn, if deep, will itch
and smart when first beginning to
heal. Combing my hair was positive
torture. My hair was long and tan
gled terribly because of the blood and
scabs. This continued growing worse
and over half my hair fell out. l was
in despair, really afraid Of becoming
totally bald.
Sometimes the pain was so great
that, when partially awake, I would
scratch the worst places so that my
fnger-tips would be bloody. I could
not sleep well and, after being asleep
a short time, that awful singing pain
would commence and then / would
wake up nearly wild with the torture.
A neighbor said it must be salt rheum.
Having used Cuticura Soap merely as
a toilet soap before, l now decided to
order a set Of the Cuticura Remedies
-Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills,
/ used them according to directions
for perhaps six weeks, then left off,
as the disease seemed to be eradi
Gated, but toward spring, eighteen
months ago, there was a slight re
turn of the scalp humor. l com
menced the Cuticura treatment al
once, so had very little trouble. Or
my scalp | used about one half a cake
of Cuticura Soap and half a box Of
Cuticura Ointment in, all. The first
time I took six or bottles of Gu
ticura Pills and the last time three
bottles-neither an expensive or tie
dious treatment. Since then / have
had no scalp trouble Of any kind
Standing up, with my hair unbound, /
comes to my knees and had it not beer
for Cuticura / should doubtless b
wholly bald.
e'This is a voluntary, unsolicited ties
timonial and ! take pleasure in writing
1t, hoping my experience may hell
someone else. Miss Lillian Brown

to the Rear.

NH. '.h'.. sit ------ VI HNMs."|| M
Frantic appeals are made to the Re-
publican congressional committee to
emphasize in the coming campaign
other Taft administration policies, and
subordinate the tariff issue,
II thunderbolts like the election of
Foss and Ravens develop in heavily
Republican districts what mean the
gathering clouds throughout the mid
die west?
Republican standpatters know, and
seek to shove the tariff issue to the
rear.
Republican orators will hammer on
the railroad rate issue, on antitrust
prosecutions, on the court,
on conservation policies, on postal
savings banks.
1t is too late to dodge the supreme
issue.
The American people have made up
their minds that there is just one
overshadowing issue in this campaign.
They cannot be diverted from it.
Not one of the other pet policies OF
the Taft administration strikes home
with immediate effect, in compari.
son with the tariff issue.
The cost Of living is a personal mat.
ter to the American voters. 1t affects
the pocket book of every toiler with
brain or hands.
The battle for subsistence has
enough odds against it without the
additional handicap of the Aldrich'

The Republican party is convicted.
in the peoples minds, of deliberately
violating its pledge to make the cost
of living lower by tariff reductions.
1t is too late to shift the issue.

Proof Of lniquIty Of Tariff TAX

The steel trust has raised the wages
of its 225,000 men. This will probably
not affect the fight the Federation
Of Labor is carrying on against it.
Undoubtedly the steel trust is better
able to spare the money for such a
raise from its dividends than any 9th
or institution save the oil trust. Both
pay enormous and excessive dividends,
ample proof that they could pay higher
wages If they chose, and equal proof
that consumers are taxed u~nnecessarf-
ly for their support.
