Shows Where the Republican
Candidate Stands

nothing to secure relief from the trusts
but he fails to concede the merit of the
laws passed without his aid; and he
win have, in this campaign, the sup
port of all the trust magnates. III
was Perkins, for instance, who is con-
nected with both the steel trust and
the harvester trust, who secured for
Mr.. Hughes the Endorsement of the
Progressive committee.
In the Mexican matter, Mr.. Hughes
has been grossly unfair, as well as
lacking in straightforwardness. As
he has taken the part of the exploiters
in dealing with the tariff question, the
railroad question and the shipping
question, so he is taking the part OF
the exploiters in dealing with Mexico.
He would have had this nation rec
ognize Huerta, who secured his posi-
ton by an act of high treason, took
the former President captive by force
and then allowed, if he did not cause,
him to be put to death. He ruled
! Mexico with an iron hand, absorbing
by arbitrary decree the legislative
power of the congress which he over
threw. To have recognized Huerta
would have been to set premium on
! treason and assassination, and to do
SO in the interest of exploiters, Mex
lean and foreign, who put their Pc
cuniary interests above all questions
of morals and of representative gov
eminent,
AS an illustration of the unfairness
of his criticism of the Presidents pol
icy in Mexico, he charges the Presi-
dent with interference in the politics
Of Mexico, because the President was
not willing to have Huerta re-elect
himself by force while exercising ar
bitrary and despotic power, and yet
he has no words of condemnation for
the Republican ambassador to Mexico,
who allowed Huerta and Felix Diaz to
use the American embassy as meet
ing place, when they plotted the over
throw of President Madero. Surely
this is partisanship of the most ex-
treme kind.
All the way through the speech, Mr.
Il Hughes criticises and scolds, without
setting forth the alternative course
which he would have followed. Mr.
, Hughes assails the removal of So
called experienced diplomats in Latin
, America. He forgets to say that they

The Best Laxative

To keep the bowels regular the best
laxative is outdoor exercise. Drink
full glass of water half an hour be-
fore breakfast and eat an abundance
of fruit and vegetables, also establish
regular habit and be sure that your
bowels move once each day. When a
medicine is needed take Chamber
lain's Tablets. They are pleasant to
take and mild and gentle in effect
Obtainable everywhere. (adv.)

There is no record Of Mr.. Hughes
having voted in the last presidential

therefore, he was as much for Mr.
Wilson as he was for Mr. Taft or Mr.
Roosevelt.

Several people could not &C
count for the presence Of these ar
ticles on their premises, claiming
that they promptly return empties
when getting a fresh supply. OF
hers did not recollect of having
anything about their premises, but
upon n search being made, there
had been enough kegs and cases
found to start an infant brew

ing charged for empires when
they permitted them to be ex-
posed to the weather so long until
ruined. Others had used empty
beer bottles to decorate their flo
wer beds which is a very com
mendable affair, but if this prac-
tice was to be continued on a real
large scale, in time we should have
pretty flower beds, alright all
right, at the expense of our sto-

The practice, while not common
dable from the standpoint of the
saloon keepers, proves that empty
beer cases and kegs can be put to
other uses than originally intend

Below we publish part OF a let
ter from Frank Novak and John
Souhrada who are on the Pbiili
pine Islands in the q. 5. Army:
I'VE shall try to give you an
idea what a soldiers life is in the
PHILIPPINE Islands. The first thing
we in the morning is to get up,
dress, wash, clean our teeth and
make our hunks" (beds) before
breakfast. For breakfast we have
either hot cakes or fried eggs, be-
sides all the fried spuds and bread
we can eat. After breakfast, we
line up on the front porch with
broems to sweep all porches and
remove matches, paper and ciga-
ret, butts within fifty feet of our
quarters. Att a. m. we start in
our daily drill which lasts until 8
and then we are free fof the rest
of the day. For DINNER we usu-
ally have roast beef or baked pork
and beans. We surely welcome
every Tuesday and Saturday, two
pork and bean days, and we surely
do our share at the table. After
dinner according to rules in the ar
my, there must be no noise from
Ito 4 p. m. as these three hours
are reserved for all soldiers to
take their afternoon nap. For
supper we have hash, spuds and
biscuits and after supper we prac !.
tice base ball or pitch horse shoes.
The remainder of the evening is
spent in playing pitch and pinno-
Gle. Our Sunday meals consist of
fried eggs, French fried spuds,
and coffee cake for breakfast.
Steak or fried chicken, mashed
spuds. peas, radishes, bread, pie
and ice cream for dinner and for
supper we get cold meat, sauce
and cake.
The only white people here are
our officers and their families and
a few Spaniards, but we do not
understand. their lingo so we
cannot chat with them. Most of
the populace consists Of Chinese,
Japs and of course the Philippe
nos. The native women have a
way of their own in washing
clothes. If they reside near a DO
dy of water they place a large
stone in the strerm to which they
wade and b striking the piece of
clothing they succeed in doing a
pretty job of it.
We are both in the best of
health and strictly up the pole
nothing stronger than ice water,
and we surely have plenty of that.
With best wishes to all, we are
