The President and Ohio.

AS the Presidents friends at home de-
sire a visit from him and few speeches.,
why should he not respond? The puphc
servant must be ready at any time to
render an account of his stewardship
And in Ohio the people are always curious
about politics. Succeeding Virginia as
the mother of Presidents the Buckeye
state is good ground for debate whenever
Presidents are mentioned. MIR. Taft will
be within both his rights and the pro-
priet'es while on the stump addressing
his old neighbors and friends.
1t will be stated that this journey con-
fesses to alarm on the part Of the Presf-
dent and his friends. Not necessarily.
Is it more than a sensible appraisement
of the situation Does not everybody
understand the object of Mr.. La Follette's
visi- to Ohio? And it is not conceded
that the Wisconsin senator is man to
be reckoned with?
Mr. La Toilette is fighting Mr.. Taft.
He is giving great prominence to what
has been done in the way of legislation
in Wisconsin under his direction. and is
promising as good results to the country
at large if the people will intrust him
with the direction Of national affairs
has been. over few things, he asks to
be set over many.
But Mr.. La Toilette does not stop with
boosting himself. He does that at the
expense of the President His PROPOSE
ton is that the President has failed: that
the administration is allied with the in
terests': that progress IS impossible from
such a source. Can anything good come
<f No yci,
politically. Mr.. La Toilette, in effect.
asks: Can anything really progressive
come out Of Washington as matters now
stand? He answers no and offers him.
self as the leader for showing the way
out.
This is a challenge the President is
justified in accepting. 1t is one the peo-
pie of Ohio particularly are interested in
Mr.. Taft is one of them. Three years
ago they approved him overwhelmin; "
for President. and wished him luck with
his task. Now they are asked by a dis
tineuished Badger state Wis., tor 10 be-
lieve, and say at the spring primaries
that Mr.. Taft has failed, and deserves
retirement Put him out, and put Mr..
La Toilette, or one of the latters follow
ers in.
Let Mr.. Taft present himself to the
old folks at home, and talk to them frank
ly and vigorously. What is writ is writ"
The point at issue relates to the inter-
probation of the record. Mr.. La Toilette
In erprets it one waS. and Mr.. Taft an
other. After both have spoken. the Buck
eyes will be prepared to render a verdict.
Naturally. the President wants ths home

A Glad Prospect.

And now the wisdom Of the great
Doth to occasion rise,
And gravely differentiate
'Twixt various kinds of lies.
The simple lie, the lie compound,
The lie both great and small;
The lie which logic twists around
Till 1t is none at all.
We are approaching. it would seem,
A virtue all sublime;
Mendac iC usly we shall not scheme
Like men Of olden time.
For how may we, as time goes by
Make use of false God word
When none can recognize a lie
When 1T is seen or heard?

which are true medicines carefully
compounded of ingredients whose
medicinal qualities are recognized
by the medicinal profession itself as
the best known remedial agents for
the diseases they are Intended to

Foley's Honey and Tar Compound
has been a standard remedy for
coughs, colds and affections of the
