osIsaate. From tho .Pe.pIs.

Col. Alexander H. Revell, chairman
of the national Roosevelt committee,
gets at the heart of the situation when
he says: THE fact that the movement
to nominate him originates among the
people themselves would, l think,
naturally appeal to Col. Roosevelt's
sense of duty, as it must appeal to any
man. The man in the White House who
has the people with him can do vast
good even where an equally we'll
intentioned man, whose acts and judg-
ment are doubted, would hopelessly
fail"
The call for Roosevelt comes from the
people. The machines are seeking to
ignore it. The organization, so-called,
is tying itself blindly to precedent and
proposing to take chances on succeeding
No more short sighted policy could be
followed. Delegates may be chosen by
carefully arranged conventions, but the
voting will always be done by the
people. 1t is the candidate for Presi-
dent who is called for by the people who
will be supported successfully by the
people when the test is made. In the
same way it is the delegates chosen by
the people direct who can do their will
most successfully in convention.
The chance is offered now in this
state to the Republican organization to
keep its hands off and let the delegates
to the national party conventions be
chosen direct. If the leaders are wise
they will not attempt to stop this or to
sidetrack it in any way. A bill for
direct election of delegates has been
agreed to. Interference with it will be
construed as fear that it will be impos-
sible to control or label the men chosen
by open primary. Such action must
necessarily react. Choose the delegates
direct. Boston Journal.

The great advantage to Vermont,
Middlebury and Addison County, from
the United States Morgan Horse
Farm, is apparent in the announce
ment of the Farmers Institute to
be held February % and "a. 1t is
not at all likely that the Depart
ment of Agriculture could have been
persuaded to send four experts, en-
tirely without charge and at their own
expense, to this county for an educa-
tional meeting, were it not for the farm
under their control in this vicinity. The
opportunity is very unusual one for
the farmers, and should be availed of
to the fullest extent. The programme
has been well thought out, and is well
adapted to this region. There should
not be a dull minute either day. We
look for large meeting and great
success.

Philadelphia Feb. An statement,
John H. Nugent, president of the
League of Republican Workers, who
returned here from New York, where
he met Col. Roosevelt in the Outlook
office, declared the ex-President ex-
pressed his hearty thanks for the news
that the city administration headed by
Mayor Blankenburg, has indorsed him
for the nomination.
"Col. Roosevelt listened attentively
to the reports had to make him of the
progress of the Roosevelt boom in this
city," said Nugent. "He was more
than gratifed and delegated me to con-
vey his sincere thanks to the mayor and
his cabinet"
Mayor Blankenburg believes that
Theodore Roosevelt is the man to lead
the Republican party to victory in the
presidential fight. The mayor is afraid
that if President Taft was renominated
he would not win. = Boston Journal.

Car Runs Down and Severely In
jures Boy In Bedford Avenue.

An automobile carrying the Rev. DR..
S. Parkes Cadman, pastor of the Cen
trail Congregational Church, and three
other prominent Brooklyn men, ran
down Ray Henderson, 9 years old, who
lives at lis Bedford avenue, at the cor
ner of Bedford and DeKalb avenues,
Monday evening. The boy was serious
ly injured.
The boy, according to the police, was
riding on the back of one of the Central
Express Companys wagons, and when
the wagon reached Bedford and DeKalb
avenues the driver ordered the little
fellow to get off. Young Henderson
obeyed, but backed to the left of the
wagon, not noticing the approach of the
automobile. Frederick w. Stevenson
of 40S ST. Marks avenue, who was driv-
ing the car, did not notice the boy until
it was too late to avoid the accident. -

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will he destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

can be permanently relieved and that
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will bring
about this result, we will furnish the
medicine absolutely free if it fails to
give satisfaction to any one using it,
The remarkable success of ReXall
Dyspepsia Tablets is due to the high
degree of scientific skill used in devising
their formula as well as to the care
exercised in their manufacture, whereby
the well known properties of Blsmuth-
Subnitrate and Pepsn have been com
bined with Carminatives and other
agents.
Bismuth- Subnitrate and Pepsin are
constantly employed and recognized by
the entire medical profession az in
valuable in the treatment of indigestion
and dyspepsia.

Tablets is carefully prepared so as to
develop its greatest efficiency. Pepsin
supplies to the digestive apparatus one
of the most important elements of the
digestive fluid Without it the digestion
and assimilation of food are impossible.
The Carminatives possess properties
which aid in relieving the disturbances
and pain caused by undigested food.
This combination of these ingredients
make remedy Invaluable for the
complete relief of indigestion and
dyspepsia.
We are so certain of this that we
urge you to try Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets
on our own personal guarantee. Three
sizes, 25 cents, 80 cents and S100.
