APPROVAL OF TAFT PLAN
Pontiff Writes Apostolic Delegate I'm
Washington Applauding United
States Course.

Washington, D. c., July 5.-Pope
Plus X, in an autograph letter received
yesterday by the apostolic delegate to
Washington, appfauds the lead taken
by the United States in the world wide
campaign for international peace.
Although the pontiff does not men
ton President Taft specifically by
name, a copy of the letter was forward
ed last night to the White house. 1t
is expected the president, because of
his well known peace views, will reply
to the cordial sentiments of the ruler
of the church. The letter in part fol
lows:
ITO our venerable brother. Dtome-
des, titular archbishop OF Larissa, apos-
tolic delegate to the United States of
America: We are happy to learn from
you that in the United States of Amer
lea under the leadership of men enjoy
ing the highest authority with the peo-
ple. the more judicious members of the
community are fervently desirous of
maintaining the advantages Of inter
national peace.
TO RESTRAIN OUTBREAKS.
ITO compare differences to restrain
the outbreak Of hostilities, to prevent
the dangers of war, to remove even the
anxieties of so-called armed peace, is,
| indeed. most praiseworthy, and any ef-
| fort in this cause, even although it
may not Immediately or wholly accom-
plish it's purpose, manifests, neverthe-
| less, a zeal which cannot but rebound
| to the credit of it's authors and be of
benefit to the state.
VAST ARMIES PORTEND WARS.
This is especially true at the pres
ent day, when vast armies, instrument.
alities most destructive to human life,
and the advanced state of military sci
ence, portend wars which must be a
source of fear even to the most pow
eTful rulers.
Wherefore we most heartily com
mend the work already begun, which
should be approved by all good men,
and especially by us, holding, as we
do, the supreme pontificate of the
church and representing him who is
| both the God and the prince Of peace,
and we most gladly lend the weight of
our authority to those who are strivin g
| to realize this most beneficient pur-
pose.
ROYAL ROAD TO PEACE.
For we do not doubt that the same
distinguished men who possess so
much ability and such wisdom in af-
! fairs of state will construct in behalf
of a struggling age royal road for the
nations leading to peace and conciIia-
ton in accordance with the laws OF jus
tice and charity, which should be sa-
credly observed by all For, inasmuch
as peace consists in order, who will
vainly think that it can be established
/ unless he strives with all the force
within him that due respect be every
where given to those virtues which are
the principles of order and it's firmest
foundation"

/ N.Y. SN'h
Judge 4. c. O'Rear spoke here
Saturday In the interest OF his candi-
dacy for the Republican nomination
for Governor. A large and represen-
tative crowd heard him for an hour
or more and the Impression he made
was very favorable.
He paid particular attention to the
failure of the Kentucky Legislature
to do its duty during the last TWEEN
ty years, and gave as an example Of
1t shortcomings the present district
ing of the state, by which the ',S
counties in the mountains are given
nine fewer representatives at Frank
fort than the Constitution allows
them. The SO called third house"
at Frankfort, and the power of the
special interest through this agency
was bitterly denounced. Because Of
his stand on this question he said
he had brought to himself the opposi-
ton of some of the powerful whis-
key people who had expressed a de-
termination to spend as much as $780,
600 to defeat him. He was in favor
OF getting rid of these special, pro-
fessional lobbyists IL in no other way
by kicking them down those marble
steps that have cost the people two
million dollars
The judge expressed himself in
favor of a state wide primary cleo
ton law, whereby both parties may
hold primaries on the same day, with
the same set of officers, and at the
public expense. His views on this
question seemed to appeal to his au-
dience, as his views on all questions,
and he was greeted with vigorous
applause frequently during his speech.
The people of this part of the state
have had bitter experience with pri-
mary elections and any relief is
welcomed.
The Judge spoke briefly on the ques-
ton of popular election of Senator'S,
and the initiative, referendum and
recall, and his remarks were received
with cheers and applause. The honest,
open and determined manner in
which he gave his views on public
questions pleased every one. There
was none of the staid. dry political
baraRgue about his speech. Every
word was interesting and to the
point.

some of his opponents that he was
going beyond. or outside. the teach
ings OF the party; that some Of the

year 1911 ever in the calendar be-
fore" Again, in referring to the So
called stand-patters of the party, he
said, "A fence post is stand-pat.'
Judge O'Rear was already the
strongest man for Governor among
the people of this part of the State
but his speech will settle the ques-
ton of the instructions from this
county. Knox will instruct for him
On the Sth of July.
No other candidate has any follow
ing except an occasional individual
friend or admirer, and there is not

O'Rear. His friends are organizing
and are confident in the belief that
he will win II nominated.
The slogan OF O'Rear's followers
up here will be: Let the people

ton with more than enough instruct
ed votes to be nominated. my COM

l have i'll my possession prescrip- tion for nervous debility, lack of viz or weakened manhood, failing men, ory and lame back, brought on by excesses, unnatural drains, or the follies of youth, that has cured so many worn and nervous men right in their own homes-without any addi- tional help or medicine-that l think every man who wishes to regain his manly power and virility quickly and quietly should have copy. So l have determined to send copy of tn ? prescription free of charge in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write me for it.
 This prescription comes from phy- siaian who has made a special study of men and I am convinced that it is the surest acting combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor failure ever put together.
 I think I owe it to my fellow man to send them copy in confidence so that any man anywhere who is weak and discouraged with repeated fal- ures may stop drugging himself with harmful patent medicines, secure what I believe is the quickest acting restorative upbuilding, SPOT-TOUCH- ING remedy ever devised, and so cure himself at home quiet and qu ckly. Just drop me line like this: Dr. A. E. Robinson, 1926 Luck building Detroit. Mich, and I will send you copy of this splendid recipe in a plain ordinary envelope free of charge. A great many doctors would charge s3 to $5 for merely writing out a prescription like this-but I send it entirely free.
