The story that Roosevelt declared
that Hadley should not have q COM
promise nomination at Chicago is
being denied by his followers. 1t
is unfortunate for them that the
story comes from men who were
present and they saw and heard the
whole proceeding. Roosevelts fake
contests at Chicago were bald at
tempt to steal the nomination and
had It not been for the good sense
of the national committee he would
have done SO. Taft's nomination was
as honest as Roosevelt's in 1903
and every person familiar with the
facts knows 1t.

oALDRRHEAD

In the Kansas City Star Is eriu-
cism OF w. A. CaIderhead because
he stands where he did years ago.
The fact that he does stand on the
same principles OF government that
have proved successful in this ma
tion ia the reason why he is going
20 have the support OF thousands
OF independent voters OF this as
,rlet who are weary OF men with
changeable minds. He has always
stood for protection for American
labor and American products, for
the protection OF the American far
mer in his products as well as for
the protection OF all American IN
dustry.
He stood for sound money IN
DAYS when every present Democratic
leader was for free silver-and some
Republican leaders as well-anu
events have proved that he was
right. Every statement he made In
that fight has been verified by his
tory. =
So in protection prosperity has
followed every adoption OF the
IDEAS Mr.. Calderhead has favored
and history proves that disturbance
Of business has followed their de-
feat. His idea is summarized In a
paragraph from q speech he made
in July, 1910. in which he said:
"The American protective tarin
business is q system Of business Tor
the protection of labor and for the
protection Of the homo market Tor
the American farmer. 1t is not a
scheme of taxation devised as bur-
den on the people for tho support OF
the government. 1t is q plan OF pdsi-
ness proposed by the greatest states
men of our country for the Ameri-
can people. The ideal condition OF
! a nation is when everybody is at
work and getting good returns ana
good pay for their labor"
And he is a candidate today on
this platform Of protection to the
American business world, farmer as
we'll as merchant and manufacture
or. There will never BIO true pros
perity unless this sort Of protection
lYs returned. Under the last admins
tration, with protection the country
saw its highest level of prosperity
and in the Fifth district there is a
demand for the return Of those good
times as a permanent feature OF
American life.
To few men is it given to remain
in public life long enough to see
the yerification of their position and
to see the people approve their po-
sition. Mr.. Calderhead is one OF
these men and the Fifth district is
for him for congress because t
knows he is right on the fundamen-
tai principles of government and
for the things that make real and
permanent prosperity and happi'
ness.

GOOD SENSE

A syndicate with a chain OF a
hundred stores issues manual of
instructions to its employees which
says: 1.-THE first thing for a repre-
sentative of our stores to get firm
ly fixed in his mind is that ev-
cry transaction must be completely
satisfactory to a customer. There
wi1r'Ue no compromise, no quibbling
right or wrong, the customer Is
right. !. Each customer served
must be thanked; the words must
be said with sincerity and to the
customer, not at him. =. When
customer brings back package
and says the contents are not sat
isfactory, hand out the purchase
price promptly and as willingly and
graciously as you do when you sell
it." These golden words might well
be borrowed by some great depart
ment stores in which courtesy and
attention to patrons are not invar-
liable.

The good meetings the Republi-

WHAT THE COUNTRY NEEDS


For the seven months Of this
year ending with July 81, before
the war began, our imports from
foreign countries were 1872 million
dollars more than they we're Tor
the same period last year, while our
exports were 1873 million dollars
less. That is caused by the Under
wood tariff. The balance OF trade
in our favor for these seven months
in this year was so million dollars
For the same seven months last
year, the balance of trade In our
favor was sos million dollars. This
shows a falling off in the balance
Of trade in our favor in seven
months before the war commenced
of 248 million dollars. This Is
equivalent to a demand on US OF
24S million dollars in gold. That
is one of the main troubles with
the country now and Is the result
Of the new tariff law. If we were
manufacturing goods we use instead
of importing them, we would have
prosperity, and If we had suffi'
GENTLY high import duty on the
goods we bring in from abroad, we
would have sufficient revenue with
out question. What we need now Is
economy and not new taxes. That
in nutshell is the sum and sub
stance of the Republican argument
for protective tariff. Not an article
sold IN Abilene is cheaper because
of the tariff. Why not have a Re
publican congress that will give this
nation a businesslike tariff?

Do not make the error Of regarding
grip as an exaggerated cold. There
is a big difference between the two.
Grip is an epidemic disease that poi
sons the vital organs. When a per-
son has grip. the air passages are
alive with millions OF bacilh poison
ing the blood. The infected person
feels tired and exhausted.
II requires a good tonic laxative TO
keep the body of the patient as strong
as possible 60 counteract the effect Of
the poisons created by the grip bacil-
lus. An expectorant tonic with some
laxative qualities is the safest rem
edy. Such is Peruna. Beware es-
pecially OF coal tar powders or tablets
because they lessen the vitality of the
patient.
There is no specific for the grip.
Peruna has been used with good
success in former grip epidemics. In
dications point to the return OF grip
this winter.
