MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE
CANDIDATE

THIS is no time for hasty expressions
and half-baked opinions. A great party
IA party which for half century has
been the real constructive agency in
American politics-faces a difficult, deli
cate, and critical task. 1t has to do
something more than name a candidate.
1t has to prove it's capacity for leader
ship. 1t has to make plain to the peo-
pie Of these United Srates-East and
West, North and South-that in that
party their deepest welfare and highest
aspirations can and will, find their tru-
est political attainment The PERSONAL
ity Of this or that candidate must yield
20 this paramount proposition. Men of
light and leading are called on to steer
by the chart and not by the foam. That
chart will not come from the hands of
any one man, but from the collective
counsel OF the partys representatives In
convention assembled. That chart must
prove the capacity of the Republican
party to continue its political leadership
of the American people. The hour at
which we have arrived is not testing can
d1dates so much, as it is testing the
party itself.

1t also emphasizes, to our mind, the
wisdom OF AN UNRESTRICTED DE-

ELECT A TAFT>PLEDGED DELEGA-

foresee what sudden change may take
place in the political situation between
now and the time of the Chicago Con-

CONFIRMING OUR OPINION

THE contest between Taft and Roose-
welt has reached the knock down and
drag-out stage. Mr.. Taft feels 1t duty
zone of the most painful duties of my
life"-to denounce Mr.. Roosevelt as a
.'hypocrite and liar" Mr.. Roosevelt is
not given to being outdone in this sort
OF pleasant persifage and begs to regard
Mr.. Taft as something too low for words
All of which affords pleasant ca
prospect for Republican success in No

laughing-even though they themselves
are not out of the woods. And no won

THE gentlemen who set out to put

from defeat by saying it doesn't make

vote for delegates pledged to Taft, in the

CARRYING 1t Too Far.

Scientific management, like any
other good thing, may be carried to
excess"
The speaker was r. Marriott
Thompson, the San Francisco scienti-
tic management expert. He continued,
says the New York Tribune:
I'VE scientific managers mustn't go
as far as Hustler went.
"Hussler was the proprietor of
tremendous factory where scientific
management had reduced the mo-
lions of every hand from 500 to II.
Hustler attended very fashionable
wedding one day, a wedding where
the ceremony was performed by a
bishop, assisted by a dean and
canon. and in the most impressive
part OF the writ Hustler, overcome by
his scientific management ideas, rush
ed up to the altar and pushed the
bishop and canon rudely back.
Here, boys he said, ones quite
enough for a little job like this"

slightly self-conscious air resumed
his seat at the piano.

carelessly. Il was just running through

BUTTERMILK LONGEVITY AID
Cells in the Body That Attack MI
crobes Feed on the Fluid, Say
the Scientists.

Buttermilk will prolong the human
life for many years. That assertion
has been proved by several of the
leading physicians of the world-Pas-
teur and Metchnikoff of Paris.
In the blood are little cells known
as leucocytes. Those cells are the
scavengers of the body, and in their
concave surfaces are able to grasp a
germ or foreign body and force it's
elimination from the human system.
The leucocytes figuratively speaking
are the home defenders of the body.
Under the microscope the home de-
tenders can be seen flowing along in
the blood streams. Suddenly they will
stop as though they sensed some near
danger. Changing their shape to that
of they will penetrate the blood
vessel wall and pick up stray germ,
probably a typhoid or one of the many
other varieties.
When a person wounds the skin and
the blood runs the home defenders
rush to the afflicted part and project
themselves into the surface of the
abrasion, preventing the entrance of
outside germ life. They give up their
lives to attain their object and the
hard little ridges felt on both sides of
slight wound are the leucocytes so
tightly impacted that their lifeless
bodies help form scar tissue
AS years pass that commendable &C
ton of sacrificing themselves so the
human body may live ceases and the
little friends of the body once known
as home defenders turn into lawless
element, ravaging the body they once
defended
Metchnikoff and Pasteur found that
buttermilk contained an element
which prevented the leucocytes from
ravaging the body. Experiments
proved they would eat the buttermilk
in preference to the human tissue.

The tone of his voice seemed to
express also the hope that such an
event might occur only in the remote
future.
The sound of a motor on the drive
now reached our ears, and our guest,
with elaborate bows, and many express
sions of gratitude, prepared to take
his leave. l accompanied him to the
front door, where l stood and watched
him getting into his car. At the last

him, and, pulling a letter case from

of his hand he disappeared down the
