Refused to Be Seated

Colonel Roosevelt refused to sit down or to leave the rail that edged the flimsy platform. Senator Dixon and Governor Johnson, urged him to be seated, but he maintained his stand : ing position throughout the entire dem onstration, and when opportunity final ly came for him to begin his speech he began it with a request to the po- lice to maintain order.
 The attention and silence that greet ed the address by Colonel Roosevelt was marked as the demonstration that preceded 1t. At the first attempts to interrupt with applause the presi- dential candidate motioned imperative ly with his left hand for silence; and he accompa aned this gesture with shake of the head which made the crowd realize his desire to be allowed to speak without interruption. The imme- diate garden was crowded to it's doors and thousands of persons were turned away. Gov. Hiram Johnson, progressive candidate for vice president, and oscar S. Straus candidate for governor of New York, preceded Colonel Roosevelt The crowd began to fill the hall as soon as the doors were opened at 6 n'S

Cheers Make Johnson Stop

Governor Johnson was still speak ing when Colonel Roosevelt was brought to the hall at 9:15 D. m. Cheers in the street outside signalled his ap- proach and answering cheers from within the hall brought Governor John sons speech to ali end.
 As Colonel Roosevelt appeared at the back oi the platform men and women jumped on chairs. waved bandannas, flags and handk erchiefs, and shouted: :: Roosevelt" Teddy" and other terms of recognition. As the demonstration progressed the band broke in at inter vals with songs that the crowd sang heartily to return to the cheering at their conclusion.
 Colonel Roosevelt adhered to the text of his prepared speech, without chang ing scarcely a word throughout. His voice was full and strong, penetrating to the extreme corners of the amphi- theatre. His right hand, because of the wound in his right side, was scarcely moved in gesture. although he tapped with 1t emphatically several times upon the railing. He gestured vigorously with his left arm throughout his speech.

Immense Crowd Present

 The crowds about Madison Square Garden were orderly, but the police exercised extreme care to prevent any confusion. Six men were arrested dur ing the evening. within and without the hall. for refusing 10 obey the strict orders as 10 open aisles and against evercrowding. The scenes in the neigh toring streets and squares were such as only big political demonstrations call forth.
 Colonel Roosevelt when he arrived vas strongly guarded and although the flashlight men got picture or two, 1t was from a distance for no one was allowed to approach when the colonel left his automobile He was escorted into the building my way of a fire es- cape and left the building by the same route.
 In his address the colonel said in part:

We call the attention of those who thus interpret it to the fact that in tnat great instrument of justice life and liberty are put on a full level with prop erty, indeed, are enumerated ahead of it In the order of their importance. We stand for an upright judiciary. But where the judges claim the right to make our laws by finally interpreting them, by finally deciding whether or not We have the power to make them, then we claim the right ourseuyes to exer-
 se that power We forbid any men, no matter what their official position may be- to usurp the right which is ours, the right which is the people &. We recognize in neither court nor Con gress, nor President, any divine righ. to override the will of the people ex- pressed with due deliberation In orderly fashion and through the forms of law. We progressiyes hold that the words ot the Declaration of Independence, as given effect to by Washington and as construed and applied by Abraham Lin coin, are to be accepted as real, and not as empty phrases. We believe that Tn very truth this is a government by the people themselves. that the constitu- ton is theirs that the courts are theirs, that all the governmental agents and agencies are theirs. We believe that all true leaders of the people must fearlessly stand for righteousness and honesty. must fearlessly tell the people what justice and honor demand. But we no less strongly insist that it is for the people themselves finally to decide all questions of public policy and to have their decision made effective.

Many women who were afflicted in this
way say that Doan's Kidney Pills have
made life easier for them.
Women are subject to kidney disease.
The clothing they wear. the work they do,
the worry and strain of bearing and rear
ing children, the lack of proper exercise;
all tend to it.
Backache, bearing-down pains, headache,
dizzy spells, faintness, fits of blues" and
other troubles often thought to be peculiar
to the sex, are found frequently in kidney
disease. When any one of these ills ap-
pears, together with discolored eondi-
tion OF the kidney secretions. with passages
too frequent scanty or burning, just make
up your mind that your kidneys are weak,
and be quick to help them.
Doan's Kidney Pills have helped great
many weak women through the trying
times when kidney disease means SO much
added misery. They do not disturb the
stomach or bowels and contain no poison
Gus, dangerous nor habit forming drugs.
Doan's are harmless for children too.

WOMEN AND HEALTH.

Women are beginning to realize
more fully that good health is not to
bo found In the use of cosmetics and
face powders. The appearance OF
health may follow facial treatment,
but health itself lies much deeper than
the surface.
Most important to the health OF ev-
cry woman Is regularity of the bowels
and digestive organs. The weary
eyes, bad breath, frequent headaches.
pimples and general air Of lassitude,
is in most every case due to consti-
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.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. This
simple remedy is far preferable to
harsh salts and cathartics and violent
purgative waters that disturb the
whole system without affording more
than temporary relief.
DR.. Culdwell's Syrup Pepsin is
tonic laxative, mild in its action,
pleasant to the taste and positive in
its effect, Strengthening the muscles
of stomach and bowels SO that after
. short time these organs regain the
power to perform their natural func-
tions without assistance.
