Will Not Crafty Secretary

Having twice verbally given to the
President an opportunity Of appointing
my successor, will not now crafty you
even to the point of lessening your COM
plications by rendering you my resigna-
ton. The President has The power OF
removal which he has the liberty to ex-

officeholders, who are Roosevelt support
ers, since the Chicago convention before
their terms of office expired and whose
removals were no more justified than
mine will be and there is no reason why
you should make an exception in my
case by granting me such privilege
The records of your office will show
that periodically and innumerably the re-
ports made by the agents OF your depart

WOMEN AND HEALTH.

more fully that good health is not to
be found in the use OF cosmetics and

health may follow facial treatment.
but health itself lies much deeper than
the surface.

patton or Indigestion. or both. There
are various remedies prescribed for
this condition, but the easiest, most
pleasant and certainly effective, is
a combination OF simple laxative
herbs with pepsin known TO druggists
as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This
simple remedy is far preferable TO
harsh salts and cathartics and violent

TO pass out OF the state department
There is always a chance OF acciden
tai loss when official papers have to
pass through many hands. as would
be the case were the precious sheets
10 go 10 the big bindery. and then, too
1t is impossible to ignore an element
OF danger OF theft by a chance dis
honest person. for an autograph OF
Lincoln always commands a big
enough price TO prove tempting, and
the autograph OF Lincoln's signature
attached to his emancipation procla-
nation is particularly clear and char
actertistic.
The issuance OF Lincoln's enamel
patton proclamation was. OF course.
one OF the most important events OF
his entire administration and the cir
cumstances OF the submission of this
document for the approval OF his cabi-
net are, as history relates them.
among the most dramatic of the en-
tire war period. AS the story goes.
Lincoln. on this occasion. sent word
to the members of his cabinet that he
wished TO see them. Secretary Chase
the first member TO arrive at the
White House. found Lincoln reading a
book Chase, did you ever read this
book?" inquired the president. What
book is it?" asked Chase. "Artemus
Ward" rejoined Lincoln. land just let
me read you this chapter on Wax
Wurx in Albany" He launched into
the amusing volume and read on and
on as one after another OF the cabinet
members joined the circle. Finally, as
there appeared to be no prospect Of
the president concluding, several Of
the members began to fidget and fin
ally Mr.. Stanton intimated rather
testify that he had work to do and
that If the object in calling the meet
ing had been to transact any business
he would like to have the business
presented at once so that he could re-
turn to his Office. Thereupon Lincoln
laid down the open book, opened a
drawer, took out a paper that proved
to be the emancipation proclamation
and prepared to read it to his official
family. But before beginning on the
contents he looked up for a moment
and said: Gentlemen. l have called
you together to notify you what l
have determined to do. l want no
advice. Nothing can change my mind j"
After the reading the members filed
out In silence. but one. looking back.
saw that Lincoln had resumed the per-
usal of Artemus Ward.
For all that Lincoln seemed thus to
take so lightly the significance of this
history-making edict there is album
dant evidence that in reality not only
the consequences but the act itself
held large place in his mind, both then
and later. The artist. Carpenter. who
in 1864 executed for the United States
government a large painting repre-
senting the reading of the emancipa-
ton to the cabinet. found Lincoln

occasionally expressfsl fear lest the
future hold for the emancipation proc
lamation the unlucky fate that threat
ems our other momentous manuscript,
the Declaration of Independence.
The latter, be it explained. is in re-
grettable condition. Indeed, the ink
has so faded that, as the only means
OF staying the ravages of time, the
secretary of state has had the docu-
ment sealed in an alright, light-tight
safe that may not be opened except
upon his written order. However, the
condition of the Declaration of indie
pendence is due largely to lack of
proper care earlier in it's existence and
there is little danger that the expert
ences which the Declaration has I'M
dergone will find a sequel in the case
of the emancipation proclamation.
For one thing the emancipation proc
clamation is almost never publicly ex-
hibited and it is never exposed for
long intervals to a strong light as
some of our other precious documents
have been when displayed at exposi-
tions, etc. On the contrary the eman-
cipation edict is bound, together with
other proclamations by Lincoln In a
specially designed volume which is
just about the best imaginable way to
preserve it.
The book in which this epoch-mak-
ing document has place is one of the
most sumptuous volumes which Uncle
Sam has ever produced. This de luxe
volume is fourteen and one half by
seventeen and one-half inches in size
SO as to accommodate the proclama-
ton without folding and is luxuriously
bound in the richest red leather. This
gold-edged volume was not prepared,
1t may be added, in Uncle Sans regu-
lar book bindery attached to the U. s.
government printing Office but was
bound by hand by the expert book
binders that are kept regularly in the
employ Of the state department for
just such work as this,-that is, the
preparation of volumes too elegant to
be produced In the routine of a COM
mercial plant.
There was another consideration
that prompted the officials of the de-
partment of state to have the Lincoln
proclamations, including the supreme
ly important one on emancipation.
bound by their own experts in their
own building. This was the fear lest
something should happen to the valu-
able documents if they were allowed

Judson Meade, for Nnmher Of Years
Engaged in Business in Dsnison,
Dies at Rockwell CITY.

Judson Meade, who for a number
of years was engaged in the grocery
business in this city and is remem
bered by many of the older residents
of this community, died suddenly a
week ago at his home at Rockwell
City, where he was engaged in the
mercantile business, having owned
and conducted a large business al
that place for number Of years. Mr.
Meade's death was sudden and re
suited from hemorrhage, caused by
the breaking of blood vessel.
When he lived here, Mr.. Meade was
one of the popular young men of the
community, and during his residence
at Rockwell City he had the respect
of every person in the community
Mr.. Meade was first married to Miss

to assert that there is no disappolnt-

cans for il is to be expected that after
such a contest as was held in Chica-

party disgruntled to the extent that
they will seek to make other al
liances. But we predict that before
the ides of November the oppo-
sition growing out of the contest will
largely subside and that the republic
can party will move on to victory as
in the past. The business of the
country is prosperous under Taft's ad-
ministration and conditions generally
are satisfactory and it will be diff
cult to find any good reason for
change.
