OUR PuLcRIM FATHERS

MI. Taft was pilgrim on the May
flower on last Friday to Provincetown,
and sslanded" to the satisfaction of
those whose ancestors came to this
country on vessel by that name some
years ago. He made possibly his best
speech at the dedication of the monu-
ment to the Pilgrims that day. When
the corner stone was laid some time
ago, another president made speech.
He spoke of ''malefactors of great
wealth." and others who deserved his
condemnation. 1t was but three years
ago when he sslanded," and there are
those who say that the speech then
delivered, was largely accountable for
the panic of 1907. Something rather
direful happens every time there has
been landing on Plymouth Rock.
What are we to expect now, evil or
good things?

tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of
the bladder, brick-dust or sediment in
the urine, head ache, back ache, lame
back, dizziness, sleep1essness, nervous
ness, or the kidneys themselves break
down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
better health in that organ is obtained
quickest by proper treatment of the kid
neys. Swamp-Ro0t corrects inability to
hold urine and sca1ding pain in passing it,
and overcomes that unpleasant necessity
of being compelled to 60 often through
the day, and to get up many times during
the night. The mild and immediate effect
of Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest be-
cause of its remarkable health restoring
properties. A trial will convince anyone.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in ffty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have q
sample bottle and book that tells all
about it, both sent free by mail. Address,
DIR. Ki1mer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.
When writing mention reading this gen.
erous offer in this paper. Don't make
any mistake, but remember the name,
Swamp-Root, and don't let dealer sell
you something in place of Swamp Root
if you do you will be disappointed.

CAUSED HIS OWN DEATH
Mayor Bouseman Killed in Attempt
to Recover Accident Insurance

Ridgeway. Va, Aug GA sensa-
ton has been created in this section
Of the State over the report of Private
Detective Joseph Funk, who has been
engaged in working out the assasiDa-
tion inlwhich Mayor II. A. Bouseman
was blown to his death by dynamite.
The detective reports to the Ridge
way town council that the dead man
caused his own death when he en-.
deavored to injure himself with dy-
Mantle bomb in order to collect acct
dent::insurance policies tothe amount Of
So, 900, and thus save himself and
family from financial ruin, which it
has been discovered since the tragedy
he was facing.
Detective Funk followed innumera-
BILE clews, to find a cold trail at the
end, and his report has been accepted
by the council land by kthe majority
of people in the community. This was
especially true when the financial
condition of Bouseman was learned.
He owed 81, 500, and to meet this had
only $40 to his credit at the bank, and
no other resources. Peculiar and dis
pondent actions of the dead man pre-
vious to the explosion are also recall
ed.

sroP THE BIG LEAKS

MI. Taft is to cease travel for awhile.
This, the public is told, he has decided
to do because he wishes to study "eco-
nomic questions. In so far as the
public is yet advised his attention will
be directed to some money saving de-
vices about the departments, which
will reduce the number of clerks, and
thus save possibly few thousand dol
lars. These things ought not to weary
the Executive mind for moment,
they ought to be handled by the heads
and subheads of those departments,
without troubling the president with
them. These minor details are also
of little consequence beside the grave
questions which should be taken hold
of by the president, and if possible rec
titled, so as to ease the enormous load
laid on the peoples shoulders, and
which is growing more and more oner-
GUS every year. The president, how
ever, will hardly make his work felt.
The extravagances which now sur
round the head of this nation, in auto
mobiles, government cruisers, special
railway trains, and a thousand and
one other things, are not calculated to
lead the mind of the nations head, into
the paths of economy.
Here are a few things wherein a
president might benefit the people:
Army appropriations are $95, 600, 600,
most of which results from jingoism,
and pure waste. The navy appro-
priation is $136, 0OO, 900, about as waste
full and as needless an expense as our
army. Both are as little needed in
their vastness as $1,000 automobile is
essential to a youth earning a $3.50
salary. Some retrenchment and re-
form might be made in the expenses OF
the Postofce department which have
grown to $241, 100000. Then that
enormous sundry civil bill of Sill, OOO,-
600 might be razed down a good many
millions. Something might be chop
ped off the $50, GOO, 600 appropriated for
public buildings. The Rivers and
Harbors appropriation of $51, 100000
could safely be pruned down at several
places, and as for pensions, $155,OOO,-
600, any executive with nerve and de-
string honestly to retrench, could find
work there which would save the ma
ton millions and add to a reputation
new luster. Mr.. Taft need not worry
about clerks, and stopping little leaks.
Let him lay the axe to the root of the
tree, and stop some of that vast militia
ry and naval expenditure and waste
fulness which absorbs nearly rs per
cent. of all the revenues of the gov
ernment.

1t is intimated now that England's
new King, George, is going to send q
feet of one hundred war ships around
the world to let the world know that
George is king. 1t was one of the olds
er Georges who stirred up trouble
with this country. The younger one
can do the.s same thing if he begins to
put on too many Tugs with his ships.
If it SO happens that our armada in
making its proposed cruise around the
world, should meet Georges ships on
the high seas. there might be trouble at
once. The one might refuse to get out
of the others way.

us see. The first Congress under his
administration appropriated = that

any other Congress ever spent. The
whole amount expended, according to
official figures, was 81, O98, 847, 184. We

Mr.. Taft is going to look into the vari-

those squeezed out had gotten their
stock at about so. The impression has
been created that those who bought
yesterday at Is were the same, or prac-

goes on regularly. Those squeezed
