FALSE PROSPERITY OF
DEMOCRATS ATTACKS

Examine the dying, white-faced
soldier as he is carried from the field
of death. His cap is made from
American material. His uniform
from cloth made in America. His
shoes are made in America. Remove
them-his socks are made in Amer
lea. His underclothes are made in
America. His knapsack is made in
America; it is filled with cartridges
made in America. His cartridge belt
is made in America. 1t is filled with
ammunition produced in America.
From his dying grasp falls his gun
made in America. His medicine case
and contents are from America. Un-
wrap the bloodstained bandage of
first aid; it is made in America. He
is taken to the hospital in an Ameri-
can ambulance. There the angels of
pity-the Red Cross nurses from
America-soothe the agony of his dy-
ing hour. He takes American medi-
cine. He is operated upon with
American surgical instruments. The
anesthetic of mercy is from America .
He is carried to his last resting
place upon an American stretcher,
placed in a trench dug with an Amer
lean pick, and the mound above his
unconfined form is leaped and round
ed with an American shovel.

A vigorous campaign to bind to
Senator Albert B. Cummins of Iowa
the republican delegation from Mon
tana to the national convention at
Chicago, has been formally launched.
Headquarters for the campaign in
Montana have been opened at the
Placer hotel in Helena, and o. NJ.
Harvey of Livingston has accepted
the position as chairman of the "Cum-
Minis for President" movement. Mr..
Harvey says that from this time on
the campaign will be prosecuted Wig
orously. Nominations have been sent
into every precinct in the state and
the friends and admirers of Senator
Cummins are being rallied to his sup
port.
Mr.. Harvey is a personal friend of
Senator Cummins and a long time ad-
mirer and supporter of the Hawkeye
statesman. In an interview given to
the press recently Mr.. Harvey said:
81 am strong for Senator Cumn11ns
because he is a great statesman, a
trained legislator, and an executive

man who a rally to his support the

president during the past three years

cratic regime:
every time a new gun is sold to
the warning nations of Europe, or a
new shell is manufactured for them,
or they give another order for an ad-
ditional ton Of powder, the secretary
of commerce, the official suave, pros
perity "thimblerigger" of the admin
istration, issues a cheerful official
bulletin that prosperity at last is
coming. He has issued these promis-
ing bulletins with feverish frequency
eve since the Underwood law went
upon the statute books. Almost daily
he seeks to dispel the psychological"
gloom by declaring that business is
looking up. 1t may be so, for bust
ness has been flat on its back, gaz
ing at the stars, ever since this adj
ministration went into power, won-

that things were very prosperous in
the east and middle west. When l

that business was very prosperous on

At Cora's invitation Tom and Beth woodford joyously swooped down on the Temples for a stay in their new house. At Cora's hospitable urging they made themselves thoroughly at home there. Which meant that the more a nook in the house had been designed for enjoyable privacy the more likely David was to find Tom and Beth enjoying the nook at the moment when he most wanted it.
 Cora soon noticed that David was trying to hide from her some cause he was feeling for complaint She cornered him one day while Tom had taken Beth out in the Temples runabout. She sat down in his lap to keep him prisoner, and, with both hands pinioning his face so that he could not avoid her eyes, she de- manded:

 David caught his wife to him. God, what a comfort to the soul a good mate is1' he cried with prayerful gratitude. Already I feel better for your readiness to help and under- stand. It isn't much, Chick, dear; and yet, like a dull ache, it feels as though it would be something con- siderable after a while. Its-it's the loss of privacy, and it's got my nerve for a spell"
 Cora nodded him to go on.
 You see, hon, a man regards his home as a sort of retreat-a place to get breath in, like the corner of prize ring between rounds. The world outside his home is his prize ring. He fights his battles outside, mixes with Tom, Dick and Harry there-any one who means bread and butter to hinl-he can't pick and choose his society there. The smoke and dust and sweat of the fight for living or success, promiscuity, racket and strain-that's what out side the home means to a man all the day long. At the end of a day, then, he wants to run away from all these to his sanctuary-his home

sippians, we marched to the attack on the Horseshoe and Teneria forts, car ried them by assault, and planted our blue banner on the walls at fearful cost
 "One-third of our command engaged (about 375 men) fell killed and wound ed, hence we acquired the name of Bloody First. On the 22d and 23d the battle continued, and on the 24th the city surrendered to the American arms.
 "The First Tennessee remained en- camped near Monterey till the 14th of December when we were ordered to march on Victoria and Tampico, 500 miles to the southeast. At Victoria we were joined by General Patterson from Carmargo with the Second Tennessee, and our Tennessee cavalry from Mata- moras. It was at Victoria that General Taylor received orders from General Scott, commander in chief, to return to Monterey and assume command of northern Mexico, and to take with him a small command of his own choosing. He selected Mays dragoons, Bragg's battery and Jeff Davis Mississippi regi- ment and set out on the return Janu- ary IA, 1S47. General Scott had now as- stunned command of all the troops, and had planned his campaign for the City of Mexico by way of Vera Cruz.
  see troops became united under com mand of General Pillow. On the 14th we began our march for Tampico, Trigg's division in advance followed by General Patterson, to which the Tennesse troops belonged After a tardy but interesting march of IS days we reached Tampico on the 1st of Febru- ary, and went into camp one-half mile below the city on the broad Penuco vi n 1ao a camping ground we had vet found. Here we. remained until the 1st of March, when we embarked on steam CTS and steamed away for Vera Cruz. Landed there on the 9th, and after two days sllirmish fighting, formed line of investment around the city, estab- lished batteries and began lombard ing.
 "This continued until the goth of March, when the city surrendered. During the siege the First and Second Tennessee, with Harney's dragoons and Judas battery, fought and won the bat tie of Medillan bridge, 10 miles south of Vera Cruz, on the Alvarado road On the 10th of April began our march for the City of Mexico. On the 18th of April we participated in the battle of Cerro Gordo. It was here that the Sec ond Tennessee suffered a similar slaughter to that of the First Tennes- see at Monterey. From the field of Cerro Gordo we advanced Is miles to Jalappa, and remained encamped near the city until the 9th of May. The expiration time of 12 months troops being near at hand, General Scott ordered their return to New Orleans to be paid off and dis charged.
 "We left Jalappa on the 9th and ar rived at Vera Cruz on the 10th, and on the 11th boarded the fine ship Henry Pratt. After a pleasant trip of 10 days, we landed at New Orleans. Here we were mustered out of service and paid off; then embarked on several steam boats bound for Nashville on the 30th of May, and with less than 300 men returned the relics of the blue banner to the young ladies of the academy without a stain."

Just Human Nature

The shorter the period between the in1- pulse to act and the opportunity, the greater the certainty of action.
 Here you have, in a nutshell, the value of the morning paper as an advertising me- dium.
 Merchants of Birmingham know by ex- perience that they get quick results from their advertising in The Age-Herald, though they may not stop to reason why.
 The explanation is in the fundamental trait of human nature to which we have re- ferred-"I want what want when want il"
 We hope this hint will encourage them to make their advertising even more attrac- tive than it is now. They should write their best ads for this paper, because this paper gives their ads the best show-it enables them to create the desire to buy when that desire can be gratified the same day, and often in the same hour
 Live people read The Age-Herald- advertisers use it. Let The Age-Herald stay in your home-it pays its own way.
