THE SOUTH AND PROTECTION

1 100000 people rather than to 1,5ooUoo- 0G0 people. It is false economy. It Is
 tlie genius of monopoly. That fellow
 who killed the goose that laid the gold en egg was a protectionist and if he lived in our day he would vote with
 Aldrich and applaud Bailey.
 Well, the beginning of the free trade that will make our south the world s workshop Is free raw materials. Sup plement that with free building mate rlals for plants and machinery, and
 our southern purple sunsets, that all of us love so fond1y, will be made lead en with the belching from a million smoke stacks, such as will make Bir-

 New Hampshire; Nashville, Tenn, a greater Providence, R. I. Why. fetter this grand southern giant?
 There is but one reason. Our manu- ia cturers' industries are now trimmed
 exactly to suit the north. that knows that the south can never rival her un- less this country ceases to manufacture for the United states only and goes out to work for the entire world. I don't say they do it willfully, or corruptly, but I do say that men of the Bailey, Martin. Simmons stripe are do- l ing the south more injury than thou sand Aldriches could do her.

KERN MENTIONED FOR PRESIDENCY Fears Boom Is Started Too
 Soon TO CONTROL SENATE Democrats Are Discussing the Pos sibilities-New Industry Is Be-
 ing Opened Up for
 the South
TO CONTROL SENATE
By RALPH M. wHIrEsTpE

Washington, June 5-(SpeciaD-'F'or president John W. Kern of Indiana ' Thus reads the latest entry in the demo- cratic presidential stakes. The entry was made through the medium of hand some campaign buttons which from some mysterious source have become plenti- full in Washington.
 Senator Kern is a wary and exper- fenced politician and is not thankful to his friends who have sprung his boom at this stage of the game. He realizes that with the Wilson boom, the Clark boom, the Harmon boom and various other well developed booms now before the public this is no time for new boom to develop health and strength, so he is discouraging the Kern button man.
 Not so the possessors of the other booms. Here the other day minority leader, Jim Mann, gave the Clark boom fresh supply of hot air, which gave 1t story fillip upward while a southern newspaper supporter of the Wilson boom through a canvass of the democratic members of Congress has discovered a majority of them are strong for the Georgia-Virginia-Je -Jerseyman.
 The Harmon boom seems to be rather quiescent just now, but men wise in the way of politics are not deceived by the lack of Harmon talk and activity and are watching the Ohioan as closely as ever
 In the meantime the question persists What about Bryan?'
 I have talked with more than one close student of American politics who believe at the psychological moment the friends of Mir. Bryan vcll put him forward and nominate him.
 If this does not happen, the way things stand now Wilson looks like the man of the hour.
 MT. Wilson's western trip Is being followed with the utmost interest be- cause it is expected to develop more de- finite sign of the sentiment of that sec tion, which has always most sturdily stood by Bryan. Thus far reports have indicated that Wilson looks good to the old-time Bryan followers. Moreover, MT. Bryan himself is reported very well pleased with the person and the per formance of the Jersey governor, albeit Wilson has not record of regularity In support of Bryan.

BABYys TERRIBLE CONDITION

When my baby boy was six months
old, his body was completely covered
with large sores that seemed to itch
and burh, and cause terrible suffering,
The eruption began in pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell on, and the sores were over
the entire body. causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come OF when removed his
shirt.
We tried great many remedies,
but nothing would help him, till a
friend induced me to try the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. used the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment but short
time before could see that he was
improving, and in six weeks time he
was entirely cured. He had suffered
about six weeks before we tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment although
we had tried several other things, and
doctors too. think the Cuticura
Remedies will do all that is claimed
for them, and a great deal more"
