OF course you use an antlseptlc IN your

Instead of what you have been using
such as liquid or tablet antiseptics or
peroxide, won't you please try Paxtine.
a concentrated antiseptic powder to be-
dissolved in water as needed.
Paxtine is more economical, more
cleansing, more germicidal and more
healing than anything you ever used.

ROOSEvElT'S STRENGTH
IS FALLING OFF
Washington Republicans Outnumber
Democrats and Third Termers
Combined.

Seattle, Wash, Sept 2S.-In the re-
cent primaries in this state the Pro
gressives cast about $4,000 votes out
of total vote exceeding 100000, or
about eight in every hundred. The
Republican vote was greater than
that of the Democrats and the Third
TERRIERS combined
S. W. Perkins, Republican national
committeeman for Washington, who
has been engaged in making canvass
of the political situation in this state,
says that he is in receipt OF letters
from every section indicating a re-
markable falling off of Roosevelt's
strength. The figures Of the primary
demonstrate that these letters accu-
rately present popular continent.
Mr.. Roosevelt claimed the Wash
ington delegation in the Republican,
National convention in Chicago. The
absurdity, not to say dishonesty, Of
his claim, is rroven by the poor show
ing made by his followers in the re.
cent primary. ~ q

A FAILURE IN COLORADO
Why the Roosevelt Movement Has
Failed to MateriaIize.

"The Roosevelt movement is a fall
ure in Colorado" said David Heatorl
of Salida, Colo, during a recent visit
to Chicago, while discussing the po-
litical situation in his state. He is
president and general manager of the
Federal Consolidated Monumental
Granite company, and is also identi
fed with large mining interests.
1--WE are tired of industrial and 20.
litical pyrotechnics in Colorado" he
continued. 1--WE have been through
all sorts of disturbances in our state.
We have seen what were called 'dy
Mantle days We have had our wilc
and woody experiences and we have
known what it is to deal with strikes
and strikers. Mr. Roosevelt is now
dangerous type of political striker, de-
ing nothing but raisi.g trouble. We
do not want man of his tempera.

to support President Taft"

THE TIDE HAS TURNED

From the Paterson. N. j., Press.
1t is apparent that the turn of the
tide which has been generally expect
ed, in favor of the reelection of Pres
ident Taft, has set in all over the
country. The Third Term movement
is rapidly waning, and the testing pro-
cess of Governor Wilson in the cruel
BILE Of public opinion is proving a dis
tinct disappointment to the Demo-
critic party.
No impartial observer of the politi-
cal situation now believes that Roose-
Welt has any chance of winning, and
it is apparent that the Democratic
standard bearer has made great mis-
take in adopting the cry of death to
the protective tariff as his slogan.
So manifest Is the turn of the tide
toward Taft that the Democratic lead
ers have ceased TO regard victory for
their party as sure thing.

KANSAS Is REPUBLICAN
Roosevelt Strength Among Voters IL
Decreasing PerceptibIy Through
out State. ST.

Topeka, Kan, Sept. 23-Nctwith-
always existed in Kansas for Theo-
dore Roosevelt, it is undeniable that
his strength as presidential candi-
date is decidedly waning throughout
the state.
If he were the candidate OF the Re-
publican party, and If there were a
chance of his election, he would, OF
course, sweep the state without any
serious opposition. But neither OF
those conditions exists. The fact that
his own leaders have been obliged to
yield to the wave of indignant, pro
test which swept against them on ac-
count Of their effort to have Roose-
velt's electors placed in the Repub-
lican column has not only proven the
strength of the Taft sentiment, but it
has eliminated all possibility oil
Roosevelt carrying the state. The
Withdrawal of his electors from the]
Republican columns has emphasized
the fact that he is not the Republican,
candidate; and Kansas is too we, d
satisfied with the conditions Which,
have prevailed during the past six.
teen years to follow any man, how
ever popular he may be, out of til.
Republican party.
The Roosevelt sentiment has beenl
further weakened by the universal
conviction that there is no possibility
of his election and that the only eff
feet his candidacy can possibly have
is to expose the country to the dam
ger of Democratic victory. Kansas
is as far from being a Democratic
state as it ever was and with the sub.
stantial collapse of the Roosevelt cam.
paign, this state will be found in it's
accustomed place near the head of
the Republican column.

"sMALL POTATOES"

At the last meeting Of the County
Commissioners Of Bingham County,
Justice of the Peace ]. C. Fisher, re
signeZ on accounted his leaving, Black
foot to spend the winter in California.
A couple Of Blackfoot attorneys who
have cases still pending before Judge
Fishers court presented the matter be-
fore the board of county commission
ers and asked that they appoint ano-
tier Justice of the Peace to fill
nnexpired term of Judge Fisher SO
that the judge would have successor
and thus their pending cases might be
disposed of.
Commissioner Jones moved that sue
action be taken by the board but Com
missioners Bennett and Stufflebeam
refused to vote on the question and
voiced their attitude against it.
Section 324 of the Revised Codes
provides that:
Vacancies occurring in the office Of
probate judge or justice Of the peace
shall be filled by appointment by the
county commissioners.
Commissioner Jones asked that a
minute of the application for appoiat-
ment of a justice be made on the
commissioners minutes but in this he
was again over ruled by the two De-
mOcratic commissioners. In the Ian
guage OF the post card writer, "lf Gag
Rule was universal power, these two
Democratic commissioners would lie

FARMERS RESENT CHANGE
Reports From All Sections Are to the
Effect That Republicans Have
Determined to Remain Loyal to
Party.

Chicago, Sept. 27.-Polls which are
being received at the headquarters OF
the Republican national committee in
dictate that the third term candidate
will not receive on election day any
thing like the support given him in
the primaries, when he was Repub-
lican seeking the nomination of his
party for the Office of president.
These figures are confirmed by state
ments published in newspapers in va
rious parts of the state, by letters re-
ceived at the headquarters and by Illi-
nois people who visit Chicago and
express their opinions on the political
situation.
Rev. Clark S. Thomas of Elgin, who
has travelled through the state from
East st. Louis to Vincennes and from
Springfield to Centralia, was emphatic
in his assertion that the Roosevelt
sentiment in Illinois is disappearing.
When former Senator William E.
Mason, nominated at the primaries for
the position of Congressman-at-large
from Illinois, recently returned from
a speech-making tour he reported that
the Roosevelt sentiment was waning

editor Of the Chicago Inter Ocean and
now editor of the Aurora Sentinel.
1.-THE change is principally observed
among the. farmers. They appreciate
the prosperity which they have been
enjoying under Republican admins

Ill. while in Chicago recently, "but l

which he received in the primaries
last spring."
Mr.. Wire was formerly chairman of
the county committee of McHenry
county, and is now member of the
county committee.
While there are some sections in
the state where the Roosevelt senti-
ment continues to manifest itself, the
fact that it is generally disappearing
is proven beyond a doubt.
