SOUTHERN POLITICS
LaFoLLETTE SAYS SOUTHERN
SENTIMENT OPPOSES PoP-
uLAR GOVERNMENT.
"Aristocrats Control Southern Democ-
racy and They Desplse Poor
White Man and Negro"

Saginaw, Mich. AFTER speaking at
Flint and Bay City, Senator Robert
M. LaFoleltte wound up his first
days campaign in Michigan in the
interest of his Progressive candi-
dacy for the Republican nomination
for president with an address at the
Masonic temple here. He discussed
the trusts and their relation to the
tariff, the money trust as the climax
of all and the necessity of returning
the government, as he said, to the
hands of the people, he asked the
support of all, Republicans and DEM
ocrats alike, in doing this.
The Dingley tariff law, he said, by
raising the tariff high enough to elm
mate foreign competition, opened the
way for the trusts. In describing
their rapid growth since 1897. when
the Dingley law was passed, the sem
ator said trust capitalization had in
creased "over 54 per cent. during the
four years of the preceding admins
tration, despite the fact that num-
Der of prosecutions had been begun.
alexander Hamilton, Henry Clay
and William Mckinley said Sena-
tor LaFollette, would never have
spoken of the tariff as they did If
there had been no competition. The

of the protective system
He declared that a few men in
Wall street who have no politics, but
who are interested only in business,
control the affairs of the country, and
that the big progle mnow is to re-
turn control to the people.

can party was the best instrument for

Former Georgian.

Washington. President Taft sent
to the senate the nomination of DR..
Rupert Blue of South Carolina, sur
geon general of the public health
and marine hospital service, succeed
ing the late Walter Wyman Doctor
Blue had been connected with the
marine hospital service for years,
and is accredited with driving the
plague out of San Francisco.
In announcing the appointment Of
Doctor Blue, President Taft also gave
notice that hereafter the term of
service Of the surgeon general Of the
public health service shall be limited
to four years. An amendment to the
regulation to this effect will be made.
Formerly a surgeon general had an
unlimited tenure of office.
Doctor Blues appointment was
made after several weeks consider
alton by the president of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury MacVeagh.
DR.. ]. A. White of New Orleans,
also a surgeon general in the sery-
ice, was close competitor in the
race. Both men had records of dis
tinguished service, but the work
which Doctor Blue did in Kidding San
Francisco of the bubonic plague help
ed to decide the matter in his favor.

Style In Mourning.

Spectacular mourning is not so
popular as it was some years ago."
said the manager of city department
store In answer to an inquiry ON that
subject. There is still a large busi-
ness done in all kinds of mourning
goods, but either the somber period
has grown shorter or many bereaved
persons prefer not to be conspicuous
because of their sorrows, for the sale
of mourning goods has fallen off. In
the stationery department there seems
to be no change-in fact, the demand
for black bordered cards and writing
paper has increased To illustrate
the quality of some show mourning
he said: AT a stationery establish
ment short time ago woman in
deepest black asked to see samples
of dinner dance cards. She selected
one and ordered one hundred to be
done on black bordered cards, COM
promising with her conscience by
suggesting that the border be not too
heavy"

FIGHTING Bob EVANS DEAD
Admiral Evans Started Hattleshlp
Fleet on Its Memorable Cruise
~Around the World.

Washington Rear Admiral Rob
ley D, Evans. Fighting Bob to an
admliing nation, died suddenly at his
home in this city. Acute indigestion
ended the career Of one Of the most
popular officers in the navy. He was
i'll less than two hours.
Admiral Evans, born sixty-f1ve
years ago In Floyd county, Virginia,
arose apparently in better health and
spirits than he had enjoyed in some
time For years sufferer from old
wounds sustained in the Civil war
and from recurrent attacks of rheu-
matte govt, the aged fighter seemed
to have shaken off the burden of his
advancing days He displayed high
spirits at breakfast and ate hearty
luncheon at noon.
While in his library the admiral
was stricken. Instantly his family
sent for DR.. S. S. Adams, who on his
arrival found the patient in great
pain After treatment, Admiral Ev-
ans fell into a restless sleep and it
was thought that the danger had
passed. Shortly after four o'clock
however, he awakened and, raising
himself with difficulty, announced
that he was choking.
81 cannot get my breath" he said,
and sank hack
81 canont get my BREATH" he said,
and sank back. At 4:45 o'clock he
died, conscious to the end.
One of the iron links that bound
the old navy to the new, command
ing figure in each, was Robley D.
Evans. He did not take kindly to the
sobriquet of Fighting Bob,' for al
though of gruff exterior, he was a
man of the kindliest impulses Thus
it never was used in his presence by
his friends. By the dauntless courage
in times of great emergency; the
grim determination with which he
faced overwhelming odds and the sto-
icism with which he bore his wounds
and gazed unfinehing in the face of
death made the title so appropriate
that as "Fighting Bob" he was known
wherever the English language is
spoken.

China APPEALS TO POWERS

PROMISES OPEN DOOR TO ALL
NATIONS OF THE WORLD.
All Restrictions of Trade Will Be
Abolished and All Laws
Revised.

Shanghai.-Dr. Sun Vat Sen, provis-
ional president of the Chinese repub-
lie, issued a manifesto to the for.
-eign powers in which he explains the
public aims and policies of the repub-
licans in China. In it he says that
the present situation has been forced
on China by Manchu misrule, which
was incapable Of remedy without a
revolution.
1--WE now proclaim" he says, "the
resultant overthrow of despotic sway
and the establishment of a republic. "
The manifesto is lengthy docu-
ment. 1t sets forth the wrongs of the
Chinese people and promises strict
adherence to all treaties, obligations
and concessions undertaken by the
Chinese government.
1t gives an assurance of the safety
Of the persons and property of for
eigners in China, and pledges equal
treatm of the Manchu and the es
adjustment of a stable government
1t declares that it will abolish all
restrictions on trade, and that it will
undertake the revision of all laws
and will insure religious liberation
The manifesto then asks the aid
of foreign nations for the consum
nation of the plans which they have
so long been vainly urging upon the
people of our country" and con
| cludes:
with this message of peace and
good will the republic Of China cher
ishes the hope of it's admission to the
family of nations, and its future CO
operation in the great and noble task
of building up the civilization of the

Honey Rread.

In Europe, where the food value OF
honey seems to be much better un-
derstood than in the United States,
enormous quantities are used. OF late
years we seem to be waking to a
realization of the value of honey as a
wholesome and delicious article of
food, and also as to its preservative
qualities. Cakes and sweetbreads
made with sugar corn become dry
and crumbly, and to get the good OF
them must be eaten when fresh; but
when they are made up with. honey,
they seem to retain their moist fresh
ness indefinitely. In France honey
bread year or eighteen months old
is preferred to that just made. They
say: ut has ripened.' 1t is the
preservatiye, or rather the unchang-
ing, quality of honey that makes it SO
popular with the best confectioners. 90
