UNCLE SAM. BUSINESS MAN.

Over million a year is Uncle Sans
proht IN the insurance business. And he
has given such good service that the peo-
pie are clamoring to have him continue it.
When the war broke out, ships were
tied up at our docks because private under
writers were afraid to insure them against
the chances of war. After considerable op-
position, congress passed an act saying
Let Uncle Sam do it.
With five million dollars capital, Uncle
Sam opened his Marine Insurance office in
September. All costs of operating the bu-
reau, including even the office boy and rub
Der stamps, amount to S3O,594. insurance
written was S127. 408, 991. Premiums re-
ceived were $2,727,091. Losses to date
have aggregated only $744, 363 and there
has been salvage to the amount of $49, 1872.
Actual profits for two years, 2,032. 500.
Uncle Sans insurance business was
authorized only after private enterprise
had refused point blank to take the risk.
President Wilson then urged the passage
of the bill, and this, together with the bill
permitting foreign built ships to take
American register. undoubtedly saved the
country from a serious crisis.
The bureau was limited by the law to
two years, period which will be up Sep
TENDER 2. This was to enable private en-
terprise to resume, in case the war termi-
mated. Now however both mercantile and
shipping interests are anxious for the
agency to continue. Among the com
mercial organizations urging the ex-
tension are the Chamber of Commerce OF
the City of New York, the National For
elgn Trade Council, the Maritime Ex-
change of New York, the international
Mercantile Marine Co., the Philadelphia
Chamber of Commerce, the Philadelphia
Board of Trade, the Philadelphia Maritime
Exchange, the Philadelphia Bourse, and
the Commercial Exchange Of Philadelphia
a greater tribute to the wisdom of Pres
1dent Wilson and the democratic party in
safeguarding the interests of the United
States during its most critical years since
the Civil War, could not be imagined.

THE SCRATCH PAD

Why doesn't Hughes tell how to
avert the railroad strike? Answer:
Because he's too busy knocking VIII

GALOMEL
IS QUICKSILVER
IT'S MERCURY ATTACKS THE
BONES, SALIVATES AND
MAKES YOU SICK.

There's no reason why a person
should take sickening, salivating calo-
mel when so cents buys large bot
tie of Dodson's Liver Tone-a per-
feet substitute for calomel.
It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid
which will start your liver just as
surely as calomel. but it doesn't
make you sick and can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can
take Dodson's Liver Tone, because it
is perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. ID
is mercury and attacks your bones.
Take dose Of nasty calomel today
and you viii feel weak, SICK and nau-
seated tomorrow.f Don't lose a days

Liver Tone instead and you viii

Tampa's Industrial Foundation

Tampa's Industrial Foundation
The Tampa Tribune asks the gues-
ton: as Tampa to Stop or Go
Ahead?" Tampa is certainly not 20
stop, and just as certainly will she go
ahead. The Tribune is trying TO
arouse greater enthusiasm among the
citizens of the town, and urge them to
cooperate in helping Tampa to forge
ahead at a more rapid rate. This is
the constant aim of the progressive
newspaper, and nearly all of t'as vnrS
of this kind is done by the newspa-
pers. Through the efforts Of the
Tribune an industrial foundation of
a quarter million has been arranged
for Tampa, and this used judiciousIy
will go a long ways toward making
Tampa a better town. In the mean
time Tampa might devote about ten
thousand dollars of the amount to
trapping the dynamiters who have
been attempting to destroy the power
plant of the Tampa Electric Co. Such
acts of lawIessness will do more to in
jure Tampa in brief period than a
large amount of money spent to en-
courage the location there of factories
and other dustries.-Orlando Re-

ator Hardwick has indeed expressed the
sentiments of all true Americans regard
less of mere political party; who have heard
the appeal of our greatest statesmen for
the establishments of the Union in love,
and the everlasting Abandonment OF sec
tional jealousy or hatred.
Senator Hardwick's protest was called
out by Hughes charge at Butte on August
10, that the democratic administration was
addicted to pork and that the chairman Of
all the important committees in the senate
and congress were southernerS.
1t is perfectly true that Senator Clarke

man, of Florida, is chairman of the Rivers
and Harbors Committee; that Senator
Simmons, of North Carolina, and Repre-
sentative Kitchin, of the same state, are

mittee of the Senate and Ways and Means
Committee of the House
But oh, the pity of it Iago, to ascribe
this to sectionalism. IF Mr.. Hughes does
not understand how committees are con
stituted in Congress, it would be better tina
he confne his remarks to topics on which ht
is well informed. The rule governing thi.
