CUSTER SUIT DRAWS
near TO A CLOSE
ACTION HAS BEEN IN COURTS
OVER FOUR YEARS, NOW
NEARLY COMPLETED.

Kansas City, Jan. 27-Taking OF
testimony in what was expected to be
the last day of the hearing of the
states custer suit against 26 lumber
companies charged with violation OF
the antitrust law began today with
the questioning of the last witnesses
for the defense.
With the testimony of both sides
in, Special Commissioner Reynolds
will present his findings to the su-
preme court. The arguments of the
attorneys will be made next fall,
bringing to an end a suit that has
been in the courts more than four
years.
G. @. Brandenbaugh, travelling sales
man for the Central Coal and Coke
company of this city, testified that
the price Of yellow pine was con-
trolled entirely by competition and
local conditions. He said conditions
were not the same in any two states
or in different parts of the same
state, and that prices varied accord
ingly. He said that prices fluctuated
daily, and that the exact price filed
by him for a sale was largely a mat
ter of personal Judgment.
Mr.. Brandenbaugh said he regarded
the price lists sent out by the manu-
facturers as merely rejecting the gen.
eral condition Of the market ana that
they had little influence with him.

less denunciation of President Taft
was Colonel Roosevelt's reply to the
presidents attack upon him. Some of
Colonel Roosevet's assertions were:
That President Taft had not given
the people of the country square
deal," but that owing to q, quality OF
feebleness" he had yielded to the
bosses and the great privileged inter
ests."
That one part of the presidents
attack upon him was "the crookedest
kind of deal" and deliberate mis-
representation"
That the president "has not merely
in thought, word and deed been dis
loyal to our past friendship, but has
been disloyal to every canon of ordi-
nary decency and fair dealing, such as
should obtain even in dealing with a
mans bitterest opponents"
That the presidents statement re-
garding the influence of federal Office
holders in the campaign was mot only
an untruth, but an absurd untruth."
That Mr.. Taft convicted himself of
insincerity when he signed the Payne
Aldrich tariff bill. .z-
That in speaking of Colonel Roose-
velt's position in regard to the trust
problem President Taft "is himself
guilty Of a crooked deal"

President Roosevelt.

Would Be Calamity.
REMARKS BR|STLE WITH FIRE

Boston, April 26.-President Taft
donned his fighting clothes, abandoned
his policy of silence under the attacks
that Colonel Theodore Roosevelt has
made upon him and upon his admins
tration and, for the first time since
Mr.. Roosevelt announced his candi-
dacy, launched into bitter denuncia.
ton Of the former president.
From the time Mr.. Taft entered Mas
sachusetts and made his first speech
at Springfield he hammered away at
Colonel Roosevelt. The president
made close to dozen speeches, many
OF them extended, the rest only few
words in length
In all he made it clear that he is
unalterably opposed to Mr.. Roosevelt;
that he saw disaster in third term
in the White House for any man and
that he did not believe Colonel Roose-
velt had given him square DEAL"
He spoke to good sized crowds in all
the cities where he made set speeches
and at the towns and villages where
his train stopped briefly the people
focked around his private car and lis
tened with close attention.
The president spoke at Springfield
and Palmer, twice in Worcester and
at Natick, South Framingham and
several smaller towns.
Seems Reluctant at First.
In the beginning he seemed to utter
his attack on Colonel Roosevelt with
reluctance.
"This wrenches my SOUL" he said
once.
AS the day wore on, however, and
he made speech after speech in which
he denounced Mr.. Roosevelt again and
again Mr.. Taft grew more aggressive
in manner, emphas sized his words with
gestures and apparently laid aside any
feeling Of regret he may have felt at
this evidence that the long friendship
with his former chief was broken.
His principal Boston address was de-
livered in the arena to large crowd,
but before retiring to his private car
he spoke briefly to an overflow" meet
ing in Symphony hall. His speech in
the Arena was delivered from manu-
script, prepared during the last few
days in Washington, carefully gone
over by members of his cabinet and
containing a detailed answer to many
of, Mr.. Roosevelt's charges.
Mr~Tafts speech bristled with coun-
ter charges against his predecessor in
the White House. He declared that
Mr. Roosevelt had wilfully misrepre-
sented him, had falsely distorted some
of his public utterances, had failed to
live up to his policy of square deal
and had violated a solemn promise to
the American people not to be a candi-
date for third term

There are people in this town who
unthinkingly neglect "mere cold"
though they wonld not otherwise
expose their children or themselves to
danger. Yet cold neglected may
develope into contagious diptheria,
bronchitis, or pneumonia. Use Foley's
Honey and Tar Compound promptly
for it stops coughs quickly and cures
colds. It contains no opiates and is
safe for children. o. M. Olsen.

Earning and Spending.

Cedar Rapids Republican: The Fon-
tanelle Observer rails at the argu-
ment that senators and congressman
are not able to make both ends meet
on salaries of $24 day, besides pri-
yate secretaries and mileage of 10
cents a mile. Well, those who are
outside often think how rich they
would be on such incomes, but In
comes are only relative, after all. One
is apt to spend according to his in
come. The man who has his salary
increased is apt to increase his living
accordingly. He moves up a notch,
and he finds he is just as able to
spent the larger sum. There is moth
ing easier in this world than spend
ing. When a man makes So a day it
is as easy to spend as 81.

searched out and reports are duly

Health Of School Children.

WASHINGTON, Aug. go Urging
the necessity for better methods or
conserving the health Of the 20,000,-
600 school children in the United
States, the federal bureau of educa-
ton calls attention, in a circular just
issued, to the fact that rs percent
need attention today for physical de-
fects which are preiudicial to health
and which are partially or completely
remediable.
Pointing out the ailments that the
children suffer, the circular states
that 100000 have organic heart dis
ease, 100000 at least have now or
had tubercular affection of the lungs,
another million have spinal curvature,
flat foot or some other deformity SER
ious enough to Interfere with their
health. A million have defective
hearing, five millions have defective
vision and an equal number are af-
flicted with some form OF malnutri-
tion. Thirty per cent, or over s,0o0,-
600 have enlarged tonsils and over SO
per cent, or ten millions, have defec.
tive teeth which are interfering with
health. Several millions Of the chill
dren possess each or two or more OF
the foregoing named defects.
ITO become an effective instrument
for the protection and promotion OF
child health" the circular says, III
is essential that the school should
not only be a sanitary, healthful
place for children, but that the vari
Gus agencies In public education
/ should be 80 organized that each
! child may be given the best possible
opportunity to escape weakness and
] disease.

Bath Tub the Best Doctor.

In excavating the ancient city OF
Meroe in the Soudan stone bath tub
of full size and modern shape has
been unearthed. 1t was carved from
a single stone and possessed sys-
tenn of flues and heating apparatus.
Think OF the ancient Philippians being
more clearly than the modern eau
casians.
Rome had more public lighthouses
1900 year ago than London possesses
today 1t was the usual thing to pro-
vide bathing conveniences.
The necessity of cleanliness Of the
person is fully recognized in America.
Dirt, even in minute particles, is the
lurking place of disease germs. There
is no surer sign of civilization than
the bat tub. In Wichita today thu
most modest cottage has it's bath tub,
and few persons will rent or buy a
home lacking these convcniences.
But the presence of the tub with its
ready connection with the city water
| pipe is not enough for some. Many
persons dread the cold plunge. They
shiver in advance of the water has not
been heated Except in cases of Ill
health, the cold plunge in itself is an
invigorating experience.
/ Daily acquaintance with the bath
tub should be part of the education
of children. The boy who leaves home
in spotless condition in the morning
returns at night more fit for the bath
tub than the bed. The girl whose body
/ is as free from dust as night as when
she arose has had too confined day.
/ She would be better off to accumu-
late something which needs the soap
and towel to remove.
1t is no disgrace for the laborer to
return to his home with sweet
scented body; the disgrace lies in his
leaving home in that condition.
j From health standpoint the daily
bath is worth more than the entire
4 pharmacopeia- Wichita Beacon.

DOWNWARD SLOPE or YEAR.

DOWNWARD SLOPE OF YEAR.
Treading the downward slope of the
year,
With the waning days Of August here,
Watching the CLEAN of the rip ming
wheat
Like glist'ning gold in the summer
heat,
The waving corn and the laden trees
OF orchards, swaying in playful
breeze.
The melons are ripening on the vino.
The pumpkins in yellow beauty
shine,
The peach and the plum, the luscious
pear
Maturing fast in the sun-kissed air
Skirting the wildwood the wild grapes
grow,
The berries wealth Of sweetness
show.
Meadows are fragrant with new-mown
hay
The cricket heard at close of day,
The katydids voice seeming sigh
The end of the summertime is nigh;
But clouds still float in pillows Of
gold
Give birth to shadows Ger grain fields
rolled.
Treading the downward slope OF the
year,
Days of the autumn will soon be here.
Forests will change their nantes of
For brown and purple and golden
sheen,
The voice Of November shrill and
clear,
A warning give OF the dying year.
What have the months Of the passing
year
Brought to our hearts, have they
brought us cheer?
Or having lacked in effort have we
Yielded to gloom and dependency?
Treading the downward slope of the
year
Wen win out yet if wen cast Out
fear.
