The invention of many machines SINH

to bring about a disastrous industrial,

There was great business competition
at first, then the various inventors and

were being infrinpsd.
This brought great hardships to the
manufacturers of shoes, who found them

showing for his new line which the
bankers thought justified the pur-
chase of stock or mortgage bonds. He
did succeed in placing 100000 of
construction company notes. secured
by twice their par value in bonds.
Had he been able to accomplish the
larger part of the financing of the new
road through fixed interest bonds it
is plain that the company would have
gone into a receivership much sooner
than it did. AS it was, the larger part
of the cost of the work was paid for
out of Moffat's personal fortune, es-
timated at $20,0OO,00O, for which he
took stock, and the interest charges
on the relatively small funded debt
were so low, that with ordinarily IA
vorable conditions the solvency of the
company might not have been men
aced.

Dixon Hurls RoOsevelt's Favorite
Word at Taft Manager.

Washington, May S.-The Taft and
| Roosevelt national headquarters have
clashed over the Maryland primary
result The word lie was used free
| ly by Senator Dixon, head of the
| Roosevelt committee. The Taft head
quarters put out a statement on the
| Maryland results, part of which fol-
| lows:
More than half of Mr.. ROOSEVELT
entire delegate vote came from the
city and county of Baltimore, where
it is stated the Roosevelt managers
placed $4,000 among their workers"
Another part said:
"In Prince George county, which
definitely decided the contest SO far
as present returns indicate, Roosevelt
money in large amounts was poured
into the county. Large rolls of small
bills, accompanied by checks to be
used if needed, were sent out from
Washington on Sunday, at least one
we'll known leader in the district hav-
ing voluntarily exhibited such a rolf
in Washington on Sunday afternoon"
This statement was duly delivered in
the Roosevelt headquarters, the rival
organizations having an amicable ar
rangement whereby they exchange
daily bulletins and statements.
Here is Senator DiXon's answer:
Every one of these statements is a
deliberate, wilful lie. Every man con-
nected with their connection and cir
cuIatlOn Is a QellDeTaCe, WllIul lldT
These lies are circulated for the pur-
pose and for the only purposes for
which liars always lie
President Taft'S managers stated
that ''the president is entitled to and
will receive the votes of four of the
delegates from the state of Maryland"
to the Republican national conven-
ton.
The presidential primary in that
state gave Colonel Roosevelt apparent
control of the state convention which
is to select Maryland's entire delega-
ton of 16 to Chicago, and reports
from Maryland have indicated that
the delegation would be solid for
Roosevelt. The Taft managers claim
that the naming of a solid Roosevelt
delegation by the state convention
would defeat the expressed preference
of the electors of the two districts.
1t is understood this point will be
pressed and the national committee
asked to rule upon it unless four dele
gates are given to the president.

The Perfect Laxative

Age has its attractions no less than
youth in a more serene and Quieter life.
But It is this very life of rest without
sufficient exercise that brings with 1t
those disorders that arise from inactivity.
Chief of these are a chronic, persistent
constipation.
Most elderly people are troubled in this
way, with accompanying symptoms OF
belching, drowsiness after eating, head
aches and general lassItude. Frequently
there Is difficulty of digesting even light
food. Much mental trouble enSues, as 1t
is hard TO find q suitable remedy. First
