Taft the Iconoclast

The suggestions Of Mr. Taft that
the position of postmaster be abolish
ed must have caused thrill of horror
to vibrate through the whole political
fabric. The former president figures
out that the saving would be at least
four million dollars a year, and in
times like the present, when the
United States is planning to become
the strongest military and naval pow

MCMULLEN FOR PREXy
Wichita Has a Candidate For Presi-
dent Tip O'NeilPs Job.

Wichita, Kan, Sept. with the
fight against Tip O'Nein as president
of the Western league getting hotter
and hotter every day, Wichita ball
fans have started a campaign boosting
Frank E. McMullen, formerly secre-
tary of the Wichita ball club, for the
office. They claim that McMullen,
who is known to every magnate and
ball player in the Western league and
many others, is the best man in the
entire circuit for the place. He has
been connected with the league as a
sport writer and secretary of the local
club for more than five years.
The dissatisfaction with O'Nelll' S
work this year has about reached a
climax and at the annual fall meeting
a regular cyclone should be the order
of the day O'Neill has befriended
one or two of the magnates in mo-
mentary way in the past and they
may stand for him, but the other
bosses are dissatisfied through and
through
J. c. Bentley, the Wichita CORES
pendent of Sporting Life, one of the
biggest sporting papers in the world,
is an open advocate of McMullen- He
claims that Frank is the only logical
man for the place as he is young,
has had plenty of experience and
would give his undivided time to the
office Also, McMullen would not
move his office to Chicago, as O'Neill
has done, but could handle his work
from the Peerless Princess and be
right in the midst of things.

People Slowly Poison
Own Bodies Expert Says
Medical Authorities Agree on
Administration.
l.. T. Cooper Gives His Views on Why
Mental and Physical Strains
Generate Toxins.

Higher medical authorities assert
that auto-intoXicatiOn is the founda-
ton of most ailments and diseases.
This condition." says L. T. Cooper,
the celebrated "Tanlac Man." who has
made an exhaustive study of the sub
ject lis nothing more or less than the
slow poisoning of the vital organs
produced by an excessive mental ana
physical strain we are forced to en-
dure,. which renders the organs lame
and permits toXins-actual toxins-to
be generated within ones own body.
Sometimes the trouble starts in the
kidneys and sometimes it starts in the
stomach or elsewhere. But in any
case the blame lies with the faulty
methods of living, and it is the more
important organs that suffer the final
damage And when they falter or fail
in their duties. the body fills up with
poisons and the victim yields to their
baneful effect. Bright's disease,
stomach trouble, catarrhal affections
may be called auto-intoxication, or
lf-poisoning.
"A tired, draggy feeling of the body,
or sluggish mind and dull memory, in
tense nervousness. headaches, stomach
and bowel troubles, poor circulation,
Imperfect digestion. constipation and
dependency, are common symptoms
Of auto intoNication, and nine out of
every ten persons are said to be so
affected
In this connection, Col. Joseph
Coyne, Louisville, KY, one of the most
prominent general contractors in the
United States, who suffered from kid
ney trouble and rheumatism, says:
My kidneys are greatly improved
and my pains have virtually disap-
peared. My strength has returned to
me. My appetite and sleep are better.
I trace the change to Tanlac. The
medicine is all right. 1 recommend
and commend it,
Tanlac, the Master Medicine" is
now sold exclusively in Topeka at the
Tully- Mcfarland Drug Co.. where W.
c. Pope, the personal representative of
Mr.. Cooper, is meeting crowds daily
and courteously explaining Tanlac to
the public.-Adv.

CLASSIC RACE ON TODAY.
Fifteen Horses Start in Futurity Stakes
at Belmont Park.

New York, Sept. Fifteen horses
representing 10 owners were carded
as starters in the futurity stakes, the
richest prize of the year, for 2-year-
olds to be run at Belmont park today.
The total cash value of the stakes this
year is $23 500 and the winners share
about $4,000.
The distance, six furlongs, will be
over a straight course eliminating as
far as possible the element of luck or
accident. This is the 25th renewal of
the furturity, which for over 20 years
was the feature of the autumn meet
ings at Sheepshead Bay, but in the fu-
ture it will be a fixture on the Belmont
Park programme.

the University of Kansas squad, will
not be able to start practice until the
opening of school, September 13, but
he has already made plans for the
training season and has his eye on I,
number of what it is believed will
prove likely candidates.
Cool Wealth. HeIps.
The cool weather in the last few
weeks has been an incentive for light
workouts in the various college towns
of the state. Followers of the game
assert that weather conditions have
been responsible for an early opening
of the practice season

the sport in the state, it being pointed
out that the membership in the Kan

pected TO show that rhe only clubs
which have drawn less people at
home than Topeka are St Joe, Lin
coin and Sioux City.
Also, the Topeka club has been
bucking the weather all season when
on the read. Up to the time the team
went to Denver it had drawn only
1900 pc ople at it's abroad games,
and 900 of these had been in four
days According to memory figures,
Topeka last season, with a cellar club,
drew 4S, 900 people at home and sew
eral thousand better on the road. The
only chance for Savage to come out
even on the season is for him to sell a
player or two or have players draft
ed. And the only chances he has
along this line are in Grover, Dash
ner and Brown.
No plans have been made for next
season so far as players are concerned.
However. it is generally thought that
if Topeka has team there Will be
many new faces on 1t. Changes In
the infield are certain, and many fans
are of the opinion that there will be
practically an entire new infield. AL
though Jimmy Jackson is under a
non-reserve contract, it IS generally
presumed that he will be here again
and it is safe to say that the fans
would set up a mighty howl if they
thought he would not. Neither say
age nor jackson would make a def1-
mite statement, but Jimmy said ne
would like to come back if nothing
interviewed and Savage said he would
like to have him.
In the matter of reducing the
leagues expenses next season, Owner
Jones of the Lincoln club is of the
same opinion that Savage is-that the
purse strings must be frightened. Lin
coin and ST. Joe are probably the
heaviest losers in the league this year
Jones refused to even estimate his
losses, but it is safe to say they will
be at least twice as much as those OF
the topeka club.

some time since by appearing as one
of the strongest witnesses against
the three Roberts boys, who, tried in
Milton at special term Of the circuit

was that Of passing notes from one

or two notes as dictated by one of the
convicted white men, who was founc
guilty of killing Mr.. and Mrs. Peter
Wyman, near Harris, some months
Iago. While the suspects were in the
Escambia county jail, White, who was
also prisoner, did the note passing
and also conversed with one, of the
boys when a deputy overheard the
conversation, the subject being {
