The vlsiIantes.

These men have been told that they
will be expected to offset anything
that the Roosevelt steering committee
may do. The latter body. by the way,
was rather pleased when facetious
newspaper correspondents named
them the vigilantes, because it remind
ed them of Roosevelt's Black Hills
days but today they were insisting the
characterization was unfair.
We don't plan any strong-arm
methods, although we know full we'll
that the other side does,', declared
Chairman Finn. I'VE are republicans
and we are anxious for party success .
That is all we want. Roosevelt can
win. The other side wants Taft to
lose. Why, Boise Penrose has admit
ted privately that he would be just
as well satisfied if the republican
party would follow him into obscurity
for four years. But we Roosevelt men
know Roosevelt can sweep this conn-
try like wild fire and all that we are
doing is to force the discredited
bosses to give him chance to score
another victory for our beloved par.
ty."
Finn will succeed Penrose as ma
tional committeeman from Pennsy,
vania. incidentally the Roosevelt
forces smilingly pointed out toda,
that they would have control of the
incoming national committee which
will be great help to them in theil
insistence that Roosevelt and not Tai
Is the republican nominee.

takes every assistant he has and
every uniformed policeman in the City
of Chicago This was generally con
strued as meaning that if the Taft
people can continue their control of
the situation and hold the convention
that the Roosevelt forces will be eject.
\ ed from the hall if they start a dem
onstration.
But that, the Roosevelt leaders
pointed out. would not affect their
claims to regularity in any way. And
that is what they will battle on at all
times. 1t Is because of this fact that
Roosevelt has charged the national
committee with doing acts morally.
If not legally, criminal. /" 1t Is that
fact that has inspired his every utter
ance assailing the acts of the national
committee and the Taft leaders in
Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and other
states where he insists the bosses
robbed the people. His advice to the
people that a convention domineered
by these men was not representa-.
tive republican one has been at all
times intended to head off any third
party talk. This has been made abso-
lutely certain by the conferences OF
the Roosevelt steering committee.
They insist they will control the pres
ent convention if possible, but if not
their convention which they will hold
and not the Taft convention will rep
resent the real republican party in the
nation.
That the Taft men realize just what
this means was shown by the hurrying
to this city of Taft leaders who had
not planned to put in an appearance
until later in the week. After an urg-
ent message, William Barnes, Jr, of
New York, who is to be chief floor
lieutenant in the battle for supremacy,
announced he would get on the Job" +
in the morning. Meanwhile the "stif.

of the stealthy approach of dropsy
or Brights disease. Doan's Kidney
Pills are for the kidneys only. They
at the cause. Here's proof of it in
a Rock Island woman's words:
Mrs. X. Peterson, 1906 Third

ton weakened my kidneys. / suf-

back was weak. ! had often read
about Doan's Kidney Pills in the To-
cal papers and a short time ago I
got a box at the Harper house phar-
macy They brought prompt relief,
in fact, l did not think any medicine
could act SO quickly. The contents
of one box of Doan's Kidney Pills

Heavy Building Notwithstanding in
Davenport during the month OF April
was indicative Of considerable growth
In the city. especially In the resident
section. For the month of April a to-
tai of 80 building permits was issued
for a total cost of construction OF
$lSl.22O. This is a far better showing
than was made during the same month
OF a year ago. In April, 1911, the
board of public works issued a total of
p permits for cost of $59,G25. OF
the permits issued in the past month,
with the exception of five or six, each
was in the neighborhood of $4,000.
Five permits were issued for buildings
over $4,000 in cost. OF these nearly
all were for either fats or combined
flats and stores.

from these figures that geese may

birds must be fed on cut green veg
