NOT RIGHT LEADER.
COLONEL RoosEvELT's RECORD
IS NOT CONVINCING OF HIS
FULL SINCERITY.
TOO FRIENDLY TO PRIVILEGE
People Will Judge Him By His mac
tlon Concerning Tariff While Presl-
dent and viii Not Accept Lofty
Phrases Of AItruisn. Il

Mr.. Roosevelt opened his campaign
IN Massachusetts with a telling
speech. It was expressed with good
deal more than his usual skill OF
rhetoric. It was more than ordinarily
free from bitter and abusive personal
tiles. 1t was pretty much confined to
general appeal, and it was couched in
the spirit OF lofty morality and altru-
ism which he has deliberately chosen
to adopt in the presentation of his
claims to a third term We say this
in no mood OF hypercriticism. We sim.
ply note as q matter OF Significance
and importance that Mr.. Roosevelt has
assumed the role of ethical and even
religious prophet and reformer, and
that he hopes thereby; to attain his
personal aims. ia MA s. a
The sentiment to which he appeals
is of immense strength and virtue.
It is the saving salt of humanity. It
Is the force that has advanced the
race from its low beginnings more
than any other. So far as Mr.. Roose-
welt can persuade the public that he
is sincere, that his aims are honestly
pursued, that his methods are intel
ligent and practical, he will unques-
tionably win support. Nor that alone,
| he will deserve It. For It is not to
be. forgotten that in the actual situa-
ton OF public affairs. In this country
the sentiment Of morality and altru-
ism is extraordinarily excited. 4 It
takes the general form Of resentment
OF the reign Of privilege. Mr.. Roosevelt
IS seeking to convince the people that
he is the embodiment Of that resent
ment, and IL he can convince them OF
\ that he will haye a great following;
there has been and still Is a reign
u Of privilege excessively oppressive,
and 1t should be, must be. and will be
ended. M
Is Mr.. Roosevelt the man to ac-
complish this. to lead in it, even fairly
to begin it? We are persuaded that
he is not. The worst type OF privilege
resting on, legislation in this country
Is the so-called protective tariff. 1t is
also the most corrupt and corrupting
force in our affairs. Mr.. Roosevelt
was at the head OF the government
for nearly eight years, and he did
nothing to lessen this privilege or to
.abate it's evil consequences. He re-
Trained from doing anything in his
first term when 1t was plain that re-
sistance to the tariff extortions would
absolutely prevent his nomination.
That is fair and practical test Of his
sincerity We think that 1t will be
applied to his present proposals to
the people, and that 1t will be fatal.
His professed purpose as to the fu-
ture will hardly help him. He now
says that he Is in favor Of a revision
OF the tariff by non-partisan com
mission. So is Mr.. Taft. Each of
them contemplates revision that
will leave the protective principle, and
the favoritism inherent In It, in full
force. Mr.. Roosevelt in this thing
and 1t is the most important thing in
sight plainly has no intention of end
ing the reign Of privilege. -,5

AS inflammatory rheumatism. II
gives its victims untold suffering'
as sciatic, the lower limbs are sore
.ly affected, and the patient Is often
rendered helpless.
rheumatism Is caused by the
presence of uric acid in the blood
This insidious poison gets into the
system, and to cure rheumatism I'M
til II is removed is an impossibility
The way to strike at rheumatism is
to introduce some element Into the
blood that will drive out the uric
acid.
This agent for the removal OF
uric acid has at last been found In
Sulphurro, the liquid compound OF
sulphur discovered by c. M. @. Stew
art and distributed by him gratis to
thousands of persons through last
year. Since 1t has been placed on
the market multitudes of other per-
sons in all parts OF the country
have been freed of their suffsrings
and Sulphurro has already reduced
the pain in the land by a generous
portion. When IL comes to be
known better and appreciated fully
in every state in the Union, It will
be universally recognized as a bless
ing to humanity.
suIphurro Purifies the Blood
Sulphurro is natures own blood
purifier. The secret of Sulphurro's
power is that. through 1t. sulphur In
liquid form is absorbed directly in
to the system through the stomach,
the pores of the skin and in other
ways, and acts as a disinfecting and
highly purifying influence.
Germs and impurities cannot ex-
list in the presence of sulphur. You
remember that sulphur fumes are
almost always used in cleansing a
room after a contagious disease.
While sulphur is the most import
ant ingredient in Sulphurro, the
Stewart compound also contains a
number of other elements which are
equally as beneficial and health
giving to the system. Sometimes
one and sometimes another of these
elements is needed by the individual
sufferer.
