Wilson's summer palace, was taken
by Mr.. Hughes hearers to have a
direct reference thereto. Earlier in
his speech Mr.. Hughes had pointed
out that the loss of American lives,
including many women and children,
on the Lusitania had been a direct
and natural result of President Will
sons being "too proud to fight" and
of his persistent habit of publicly
saying what he believed would pro-
mote his personal popularity and pri-
vately doing quite the contrary, that
his supporters might contend that
he had kept us out of war;" When
asked to comment on the exploits of
the submarines off Nantucket, Mr..
Hughes declined, saying he could not
discuss current events because he was
determined to do nothing which
would embarrass Mr.. Wilson in any
effort he might make to protect Am
erican rights. Mr.. Hughes further
elected wild enthusiasm when he de-
clared, II repeat in Philadelphia
what I said in Milwaukee. We have
no 1ntrigues, no unstated purposes,
no covert understandings or arrange
ments. We stand four-square to the
world, representing the United States
and it's interests and it's interests
alone, first, last and all the time.'

THE DEMOCRATIC SCANDAL

Although somewhat obscured tenn
porarily by the U-boat attack on
liners off the Atlantic coast, the
Democratic scandal involving an at
tempt by a member of the Demo-
cratic National Finance committee,
to hold up the postmasters of the
country, to sandbag them out of 10
per cent of their annual salaries in
order to create a campaign fund to
re-elect President Wilson, will not
down. It will be remembered that
there has been considerable scandal
about the civil service regarding post
masters and that the Civil Service
Reform League has never been able
to procure the facts, because Mr.. Will
son would not permit the civil SER
vice commission to make them pub
lie. The president of the commission,
Mr.. McIllhenny, of Louisiana, finally
admitted that were the facts made
public they might lead to such
criticism of the administration as
seriously embarrass it," But Presi-
dent Wilson's power over the COM
mission has proved potent to suppress
the facts.

deeply impress many people.
II have suffered with stomach
trouble since last February" he
said. II couldn't eat very much and
was extremely nervous. Pains in my
stomach bothered me greatly and I
often experienced pains in my back
and shoulders. I have tried many
medicines in the last six months but
none of them helped me any.
Il read accounts of Tanlac's work
in the newspapers and decided to
give the medicine trial. Three bot
ties of Tanlac have almost banished
my stomach trouble. I can eat most
anything now and in fact, I'm feel
ing much better in general way.
"Tanlac certainly is a wonderful
medicine and I want to recommend
it. III advise anyone to try this
preparation for stomach or kidney
trouble"
Tanlac, the Master Medicine, is es-
pecially beneficial for stomach, liver
and kidney trouble, catarrhal COM

sleeplessness, loss of appetite and the
like.
