the charge of Harry NJ Daugherty that
the 'wets" nominated Herrick while the
had pledged himself to the program of
that body When this was challenged,
Wayne B. Wheeler and +. c. Dinwiddie,
of the Washington division of the lea

Now the public is informed by Hon. F.

that Mr. White was in error. Mr.. Her

Grafton What grand little explana-
ton! 1t is completely illuminating ex-
cept in one little circumstance-nobod
knows what it means. OF course it is
understood that the main thing about the
whole performance is to obtain votes
against Pomerene's election. After he
is dead and laid away in the political
graveyard his successor, Mr.. Herrick,
will give the prohibition amendment full
consideration-and then do what the
state commands him
However, it is refreshing to know
the question is out of the present cam
paign. The candidate Of the league for
United States Senator has made the for

erly rebuked from headquarters, Messrs.
White, Wheeler and Dinwiddie will now

Herrick Side Steps The Issue
Says He Has Made No PLedgeStU the Anti Saloon League
Announced That They Will Support Him.
What the Vets Want Know Mr. Herrck Is" Will Vote For
National Prohibition Not?"-Ans,uer That Question.

1.-THE prohibition question is not
an issue i'm this campaign and l have
not made any pledge or promise. In
my attitude on any prohibition
amendment, which may be offered
i'm Congress, l shall be guided by the
will of the people of OhiO.'
The statement was issued last Satur-
day by Myron T. Herrick, after full con-
ference with his friends at Columbus.
1t is made clear that this is the first op-
portunity he had had to develop the
matter, having left for the Adirondack
Mountains the day after Whites claim
was made.
His Reputation of the alleged pledge,
which was originally claimed from Co.
lumbus and confirmed by the national
leaders at Washington, is believed by
Colonel Herrick's friends to get him past
very dangerous situation. 1t is count
ed upon to placate the liberals,
while the support of the Anti-SalOon
League he will be certain to have
in common with the other Republic
can candidates. The league has de-
clared itself committed to him.
In short, Mr. Herrck has made deal
lish his denial, but when the time comes
ne will vote for national prohibition.
The Cincinnati Enquirer prints the fol-
lowing interesting story on the subject
After many, many years the prohibi-
tion question finally has been taken out
of Ohio politics. This herculean feat
was performed by Hon. Myron T. Her
rick, Republican candidate for Senator.

EFFICIENCY NEEDED HERE.

Washington. - Business organizations
have been so busy urging the federal
government to establish the sweating
plan of production, known as the Tay-
lor system, that they have entirely over
looked their own affairs and the federal
trade commission states that there is
tendency among retail merchants to
conduct their business without an ade-
quate system for determining their
costs"
The commission also states it has
found that an amazing number OF manu-
facturers, particularly the smaller ones,
have no adequate system for determin
ing their costs and price their goods ar
btrarily. 1t is evident that there must
be improvement in this direction before
competition can be placed upon sound
economic basis
The commission has mapped out a
system whereby the American manufac
turer can estimate such costs as build
ing expense, labor, salaries, officers sal
aries, commissions, advertising, insur
ance, taxes, depreciation, repairs, de-
livery expenses, discount on sales, re-
serve for bad debts and miscellaneous
expense.

Protest In Mail Matter.

Washington-The text of the Ameri-
can protest to Great Britain against
interference with neutral mails just
made public reveals that diplomatic
and consular dispatches have been
treated in a manner the United
States considered "vexatiously inquisi-
torial." The note describes the prac-
tees of British officials as ''unwar-
ranted interference" and in urgently
requesting a prompt reply points out
that a %"strong feeling is being arous-
ed" in this country by loss of valu-
able letters.
Foreign banks are refusing to cash
American drafts because they have
ne assurances that drafts are secure
in the mails. The United States de-
clares that parcel post articles are
entitled to the exemption of neutral
trade and denies the right Of Great
Britain to take neutral mail ships into
British jurisdiction for purposes of
searc hand then submit them to local
censorship regulations. 1t also denies
that the British government has any
authority over neutrals' sealed mails
on ships which merely touch at Brit
ish ports.

NOM|NATES
LOUIS D. BRANDE|S
TO SUCCESS THE LATE JUSTICE
LAMAR ON SUPREME COURT
BENCH.
WAS A COMPLETE SURPRISE
Senate and All Official WASHINGTON
Received News Without Fore
warning.

Neutrality-suspicious. D. Brandeis of
Boston was nominated by President
Wilson for the place on the Supreme
Court bench made vacant by the death
of Associate Justice Lamar.
The Senate received the nomina-
ton with u~nconcealed surprise-in
which all official Washington joined,
because Mr.. Brandeis had not been
mentioned among the long list of
eligibles which President Wilson COL
sidered, or among an equally long
list of aspirants who presented en-
dorsements.
Some Senators announced to their
colleagues they were opposed to the
nomination., but declined to be quot
ed to that effect. The only Senator
found who was willing to publicly
record his opposition at this time was
Senator Wadsworth, Republican, of
New York.
Senators who approved the nominal
ton were not lacking, although they,
too, avoided public expression of their
views. They felt sure however they
could command the necessary major
ity to confirm the appointment.
1t was learned that among the en-
dorsements sent to the President urg-
ing Mr.. Brandeis' appointment was
one from Clifford Pinchot, former chief
forester, whose celebrated controversy
with Secretary Ballinger brought Mr..
Brandeis into the public eye six years
ago. He appeared as chief counsel for
the forces opposing the former Secre-
tary of the Interior in the noted Bal
linger-Pinchot controversy which sent
its r~amifications into many phases of
national politics at the outset of Pres
ident Taft's administration.
Although celebrated as a lawyer,
Mr.. Brandeis has been devoting prac-
tically all his time of late to the Zion
list movement in this country which
has for its object the repatriation of
the Jews to a nation of their own in
Palestine.
Some of the Senators disposed to
express opposition to Mr.. Brandeis
were Democrats who sought to put
their objections on political grounds.
Senator James of Kentucky, the native
state of Mr.. Brandets, unreservedly
told them the nominee was a Demo-
crat. Justice Lamar, whom he would
succeed, also was a Democrat. Six of
the eight Justices now on the bench
are Republicans.

COFFEE WAS 1T.

"All my life l have been a slave to
coffee. 1 kept gradually losing my
health, but used to say nonsense, it

Slowly l was forced to admit the
truth and the final result was that my
nervous force was shattered.
MY heart became weak and uncer-
tain in it's action and that frightened
me. Then my physician told me that
I must stop drinking coffee or could
never expect to be well again.
Il thought of Postum but could
hardly bring myself to give up the
coffee.
Finally l concluded that 1 owed it
to myself to give Postum a trial. l got
a package and carefully followed the
directions, and what a delicious, nour-
ishing, rich drink it was! Do you
know, l found it very easy to shift
from coffee to Postum.
Almost Immediately after 1 made
the change l found myself better, and
as the days went by 1 kept on improv-
ing. My nerves grew steady, l slept

Cleveland, Ohio.-President Wilson,
de the nation that the time may come

prepared at once.
America is not afraid of anybody"
he said. Il know l reflect your feel
ing and the feeling of all our citizens
when l say the only thing l am
afraid of is not being ready to per-
form my duty. I am afraid of the
danger of inadequacy; 1 am afraid of
the danger of not being able to express
the chief character of this country
with tremendous might and effective
ness whenever we are called upon to
act in the field of the worlds affairs"

clared. 81 do not know what a sin

ing before an overflow meeting where
his hearers were mostly women In
both addresses he set forth the need

test of national preparedness lay not
with congress-, but with the young men
of the country in their answer to the
call to volunteer and their employers
who should oppose no obstacle to free
response.
He believed, he added, that both
the young men and the employers
will do their duty and that he was not
afraid America will not do enough.

Well known Remedy
Relieves Chronic Case
Important to Dispose OF
Waste from the Stomach
With REGULARITY.

People frequently attribute to fail
ure of the digestive organs conditions
that are primarily due to inactive bow
els, and apply remedies that from their
very nature are o apt to aggravate
than to relieve the disorder.
When the bowels act regularly the
stomach is in better shape to perform
its allotted tasks and can usually be
depended upon. To keep the bowels in
condition there is no more effective
remedy than the combination of sim
pie laxative herbs known as DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin which is sold in
drug stores for fifty cents a bottle.
DR.. Caldwell has prescribed this rem
edy in his practice for over a quarter
of a century and it is today the stand
ard household remedy in thousands of
homes. Mr.. Thos. DeLoach, with the
Department of the Interior, Office of
Indian Affairs, at Washington, wrote
DR.. Caldwell recently that CDR. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin is the best laxa-
tive l have any knowledge of and the
cleaning up guaranteed by it's use re-
lieves every organ"

take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast each morning
