two pocket knives, one Of which she de-
| clared was sacred" and which she
wanted to present to the President Mrs.
Carolyn Beers, of Greenville. Ohio. was
arrested in the Southern Hotel here just
as Mr.. Taft was going into breakfast.
The woman tried to crowd her way into
the elevator with the President. and
when Detectives johnson and Homer
stepped her, she cried out:
II am the Presidents wife. I have
a sacred knife, which am going to give
him.
At the city prison she was searched,
and the two knives were found. one OF
them having a three-inch blade. She
had about 500 in cash concealed in pock-
cts in her clothing. In interviews with
Police Chief o'Neil she said she had
seen the President ut the Gibson House
in Cincinnati last year, and that he had
told her to go home and stay with her
daughter. She insisted that she is Mrs.
Taft. Advices from Greenville Indicate
that Mrs. Beers had suffered for several
months with a slight mental derange-
ment. but has never been violent.
Speaks at Fair Grounds.
President Taft attended the double
celebration of Federal Day at the Ohio
Columbus Centennial and at the Ohio
centenary State fair. He remained at
the grounds from early in the morning
until late at night and made a speech at
the State Fair, IN which he said:
Under the Constitution the President
has the veto power. When you get
Democratic House and a Senate that's
not anything and the President is Re-
publican, the prospect is that the Presi-
dent will use the power.
IT have used It moderately. That has
prompted certain men to say q good
many harsh things IN Congress, but they
have thought differently after a few
days.
THE mass of the people believe IN
progress, but they are Of the opinion
that progress should go slow and certain
and under the guidance of the Constitu-
tion," 80

As Little as $100

The Commercial is pretty big
financial institution and some people are
little timid about bothering the Com
pany with small policies. Or perhaps
they feel that it is hardly worth. while to
take out little policy on their household
furnishings.
Now, this advertisement is printed to
tell you that the Commercial is very glad
to issue small policies. We are quite as
pleased to issue policy for $1OO or
$500 as for larger amounts And if you
only have Two or Three Hundred Dol.
lars worth of household furniture you
really need insurance on it more than the
family which has Two or Three Thou
sand Dollars worth. In case of fire your
loss would mean more to you than theirs
would to them. ....-
So send your applications for small
policies to the Home Office of the Com
mercial. Careful attention will be paid
to your needs and we will furnish you
the best insurance at about a third less
than you can get it anywhere else.
While the Commercial is the largest
fire insurance company in the District of
Columbia, it offers special inducements
to those who want the smallest policies.

half drunk and half sober any more
than II could exist half slave and half
free. Nor can the state successfully
prohibit the saloon while the nation
sanctions it and sells 1t the right to
exist.
And for these reasons, we declare
tional prohibition party; we endorse
it's platform; and declare our firm adj
herenee to the principles of govern
ment enunciated BY it.
We realize that the only just criti-
cism of prohibition laws that has ever
been made is one growing out of their
non-enforcement, and their non-en-
forcement is because their execution
has been entrusted to license parties
who are opposed to or Indifferent to
the policy of prohibition.
We realize that the liquor interests
hole the balance of political power ia
this country; that as they say them
selves, their business is their politics !;
aud that as long as the friends OF pro
hi.iiion are divided aud vote for offer
ent candidates, that those candidates
must be elected who can control the
liCuor vote. And we realize that the
liquor men always know who are
friendly to their interests, and we Ie-
gard any advice, howey2-, well intend
ed, and from whatever sogrce. given to
voters to remain thus divided aud .ete
for candidates in the license party as
bad advice, tending to perpetuate the
Il, Tor traffic in power and continue
It's career OF time, opposhIoa to law
and law enforcement.
