THE MAN WHO STOOD
 STILL DIES IN AURORA

Aurora, H., May 2O.-The death of D, W. Stockwell of this city at Hawarden, Canada, re- gently, marked the passing Of the quaintest characters in H. inoiS.
 He was known as the man who stood still.
 As owner of one of the biggest stores in northern Illinois out side Chicago, during the Civil war he prospered. After the war he failed to keep abreast of the times and the same goods which he carried then still adorn the shelves and show windows of the store.
 Five years after the war he was still making a profit. In ten years more the place was a curiosity shop and has continu- ed so. The hoop skirt, borber striped house, jet jewelry, and like'antiques continued a part of his stock.
 In later years he was the only one who entered the place except visitors to the city. He did no advertising. He had about $10,- 900 worth of goods and settled down to wait for customers who never came. He was at business at : o'clock each morning and remained until 6 o'clock in the evening. He was v years old.

same kind that they can be expected
to make If they get in power next
Tuesday.
The democrats say that they are
not in favor Of free trade and that
the Wilson bill was not a free trade
bill. That is true-that Is to say, it is
half true. The Wilson bill put high
duty on what 1t ought to have let in
free. and let in free what 1t ought to
have kept out. 1t was just exactly
wrong-it did not produce any revenue
to speak Of; it did not protect either
the. employe or employer, and yet It
did impose high duty on some goods,
but none of those goods were sent in
here. Those 1t protected were not the
kind we made. 49,. .-.

RORAH PRAISES TAFT.

Senator Borah of Idaho, one of the
leaders in the fight to secure the re.
publican nomination for Roosevelt,
who refused to bolt the republican
party, recently paid the following
tribute to the president:
President Taft is safe, sound, con.
scientious and honest executive. His
frankness Is the opposite of cuteness
to mislead the public and befog the
issues. Calm reflection upon his ad.
ministration will show the president
to have been fearless, progressive and
thoughtful Of the peoples interests.
II the voters in their wisdom, feel
in time Of 80 great prosperity, feel
that they can risk change from this
condition by casting their ballots for
a democratic administration they have
the power to do so.
"The sober second thought of a
great people of this most prosperous
country should bring about the serious
reflection that change Of administra-
ton from the party of progress and
prosperity Is undesirable and unwar.
ranted."

VOTE FOR TAFT.

vote for William Howard Taft is
vote for the continuance of present
prosperous conditions and the safe
and steady progress of our govern.
ment along constitutional lines.
A vote for Woodrow Wilson Is a
vote for the party which, in it's plat.
form, declares protection unconstitu.
+,onal and which would enact free
trade legislation as soon as it came in
to power. We have not only the
word of the campaign speakers for
this, but we have the record Of twenty
wears ago when free trade legislation
brought or E. panic that continued four
years. -...
A vote for Roosevelt is wasted be-
cause Roosevelt cannot possibly be
elected. To be elected he would have
to get the votes of eight out OF ten
republicans, which every one knows
from common observation is total
impossibility. A vote for Roosevelt Is
half a vote for Wilson, however, and
aids in returning the democratic party
to power. ..5l ....

THE VITAL ISSUE.

The following concise and emphatic
statement of the vital issue before the
American people has been given wide
circulation:
Constant political vigilance is the
price of prosperity.
Prosperity is here. Guard it, main.
tain 1t.
Take no chances. It's better to be
safe than be sorry.
Employment is plentiful and steady.
Every man who wants work can get
it, at maximum wages.
But don't be over-confident.
It's q short step and a hard fall
from good times to bad.
The protective tariff principle is
the foundation upon which our pros
perity rests.
The presidential contest is between
William Howard Taft and Woodrow
Wilson: Don't waste your vote by
casting it for any other candidate.
President Taft stands for an ad-
justment of tariff inequalities based
on the protective principle.
Woodrow Wilson is hitched to a
democratic platform which denounces
protective tariff as unconstitutional.
A democratic house passed three
free trade bills, which, but for Presi.
dent Taft's vetoes, would have created
havoc and destruction among Amer
lean industries and thrown tens Of
thousands out of employment. These
bills were the entering wedge toward
complete free trade.
Remember the hard times, the
armies Of unemployed, the soup
houses. the suffering, following the
passage of the Wilson free trade bill
Of 1893.
Which shall it be? Taft and pros
perity or Wilson and panic and in
dustrial paralysis? A republican vote
for Roosevelt will increase Wilson's
chances. .a

CLAIM rAFT's ELECTION.

A forecast issued by David W. Null
vane and Joseph B. Healing, directors
of the Taft campaign in the west, de-
clares that President Taft will have
315 votes in the electoral college. Will
son is conceded 1872 votes, and "a are
classed as doubtful. In a statement
accompanying the forecast the Taft
campaign directors say:
with the election only few days
away, many voters who have hereto
fore remained silent as to their inten-
ton are declaring themselves for
President Taft.
"The drift is strongly to Taft. Re-
ports from all over the middle and far
west are unanimously to the effect
that the contest on the home stretch
Is between Taft and Wilson. This is
80 apparent that Roosevelt will run
poor third.
MANY voters who have been follow
ing the third termer realize now that
a vote for Roosevelt is a vote for Will
son, and they are not willing to take
a chance on the free trade legislation.
"A few days ago we requested the
men In charge Of the campaigns In
the various states In our jurisdiction
to give US an unbiased report as to
the exact conditions as they exist at
this time. The consensus of their
opinion is:
Il. That Wilson will not get the
democratic support that Bryan re-
ceived in 1908.
90. That Roosevelt is losing ground
rapidly each day, and will run poor
third.
80. The republicans who early in
the campaign had made up their mind
to vote for Wilson to insure the de-
feat of Roosevelt realize now that the
contest is between Taft and Wilson
and are coming back to Taft.

"a ,orv before the Wilson bill was

That statement Is true because
Grover Cleveland did not become pres'-

That's the catch.
The next day after the presidential
election in 1892 there were enough
.,o4.;ar rat,,rns in to see that the next
odoin,stration would be democratic

manufacturing institution in the
country cut down it's expenses to the
lowest possible point and bent every
EFFORT toward unloading every thing
u had on hand in the shop and IN ITS

HIS stock az nearly as he could, and
only ordered enough goods for thirty
DAYS at time; therefore, the manu-
,acturer only kept enough men en-
Moved to fill current orders. This is
how the panic started. Men in bust
ness knew what was coming and they
simply did as any one does when he
sees storm rushing toward him
he tries to get under cover before he
gets wet.
When the Wilson bill was passed 1t
confirmed the suspicious. 1t placed
manufactured goods on the free list,
and as Grover Cleveland said: WAS
