For some unknown reason Sen.
ator Crawford's brand of insur-
gency doesn't seem to be very
popular in the east. He was en-
gagged to stump the states of Mich
igan and Ohio for Senator La
Toilette. He gave one address, at
Hillsdale, Mich, which is reported
to have been a frost. He had an
engagement to speak at Coldwater
Mich, but after his Hillsdale fail
ure this was called off. Then fol
some reason or another all of bis
engagements in Ohio were can.
celled and Mr.. Crawford returned

scotland A Good Town.

Scotland is a mighty good town,
worthy of the best of everything.
That's why we have joined the A
merican Drug and Press Associa-
tion and will offer to our people
the Meritol line of preparations,
made by the Association and sold
only thru its members. There is
nothing like these goods, guaran-
teed in every way, without an
equal, made by experts. We want

The H(uronite says that Mr.. La
Toilette is a candidate for presi.
dent In his own name and there is
reason for the belief that he has
the good will of the colonel (Roose-
velt) in his quest. The Sioux City
Tribune says one word from Oys-
ter Bay may put him (Roosevelt)
behind La Toilette or La Toilette
behind him. In both of these pre-
dictions the wish seems to be
father to the thought. The real
genuine sympathy between Roose-
welt and La Toilette is nicely re-
fected in the remarks of Mr.. La
Toilette in one of his speeches last
week, while he was scoring the
trusts and combinations. Some
one in the audience yelled, Chow
about Roosevelt ?" Senator La
Toilette raised his hand to restore
order and continued:
81 think | hear some of you say
now, he's going after Roosevelt, but
that's where you'll! be fooled. But
Il will say that during all that
strenuous time there were more
combinations than under all the
administrations that preceded since
the Sherman law was enacted in
1890. From January 1, 1904, to
January 1. 1908, that is four years
down to the end of the Roosevelt
administration, it sums up total
of 10000 plants brought into trust
organization, with total capital
ization of $31, 1,672, 100000. There
was not anything left important
enough to bring into a combine"

That was an excellent set of res

can make but one criticism. In
the tariff plank the wording of the
last national platform was follow
cd, favoring tariff equal to the
difference in cost of production at
home and abroad with fair pro.
fit to the American producer. +"
The American producer should be
satisfied with an equal competition
