LelUis's Attacks Not
Worrying Whitman,
Manager Cocks Says

Ex Congressman W. W. Cocks, Gov
ernor Whitman's campaign manager,
yesterday declared that the attacks of
the Governors rival, Attorney General
Lewis, were not worrying him or any
of the other friends of the Governor
I'VE feel" said Mr.. Cocks, "that the
Republican voters have long ago made
up their minds that Governor Whit
man, because of his excellent record in
iffice, is the logical candidate to lead
in the election campaign and bring a
Republican victory at the polls in No
vember. Furthermore, l might add,
it will not be possible for Mr.. Lewis
to entice the farmers away from Whit
man. Letters received from practical
farmers in all the rural counties in
dicate clearly the strength of the Gov
ernor.
"There is absolutely nothing to indi-
cate anything except tina, the Governor
will receive an overwhelming primary
vote, not only in the rural sections of
the state, but in the cities as we'll. The
Governor stands squarely on u record
of accomplishment and not of promises.
His administration has been efficient
and constructive, not only as to assist
ance to the Federal government in all
war matters, but also in every branch
of the government service.
ATTACKS and statements of the sort
which Mr.. Lewis and his friends are
issuing from day to day will not in the
least becloud the real issues with the
voters. The real question to be de-
cided at the primaries is which of the
three candidates-W Whitman, Bennett or
Lewis-wiA best be capable of conduct
ing the affairs of the state during the
two troublous years to come. The vot-
ers have had a splendid opportunity to
watch all three men. and have not the
slightest doubt what their verdict viii

II should like to refer to and adopt
that table and call it to YOUR attention
as a conclusive and controlling argu-
ment against the increased excess prof

by the smallest companies. The so

ut is from the lower brackets that
the revenue is produced 1t is from
the upper brackets that the hardship
and inequality result. l have here a
table showing that of the larger coal
companies with alleged capital rang
ing from S2,OOOOOO to S12O,O00, 900. the
WI company pays no excess prof
its tax, the VIZ company pays 81
per cent of its income in excess profits
taxes, the (W-3 company pays per
cent, the IVA company, SO per cent,
the (W5 company. 81 per cent, and
the (W-6 company), S per cent.
What Small Companies Pay
con the other hand, group of SIX
small coal companies whose capital
ranges from 1000 to $4,000, all pay
excess profits taxes in amounts rang
ing from 50 per cent to Sc per cent of
their entire income. This comparison
of the large coal companies with the
small coal companies is conspicuous
example of the discrimination of the ex-
cess profits tax law against the small
concern and in favor of the big con-
Germ.
TO summarize again my views con-
corning the war profits tax and excess
profits tax, let me say that there should
be a war profits tax at fat rate of so
per cent and that the excess profits tax
should not be depended upon to pro
duce increased revenue, but that modi-
tications are desirable to reduce the in

y. S. Laying Plans for
After-War Expansion

Busy as are all branches of the gov.
ernment in their war preparations at
present, it was disclosed yesterday by
William c. Redfeld Secretary of Com
merce, that some plans are being di-
rected to after-the-war activities. Par
ticular,y is this true, Mr.. Redfcld said
in connection with the commercial af-
fairs Of the nation. Secretary Red
field was the chief speaker at the sec
ond day session Of the National Asso-
citation Of Retail Clothiers. at the Hotel
McAlpin.
Much of the vast expenditure now
being made for the war, Secretary
Redtield said, was really investme Mt
for the country's profit in peace. He
enumerated the revival of the mer-
chant marine, the development of neg
iected natural resources, the rise of
new industries, the establishment Of
industrial education and of expert

"They had hoped that some of my

The subject Of liquor dealers contri

Names of DAYS.

The Roman names of the days have
undergone little more than a transla-
ton in the Saxon and consequently
English names. Thus, the first day OF
the week is Sonnan-daeg with the Sax
Ons, Dies Soils with the Romans. Mon
day is MOnan-daeg with the SaxOns,
Dies Lunae with the Romans. Tues
day is. among the SaxonS, Tues-daeg-
that is, Tuesco's day-from Tuesco, a
mythical person. supposed to have
been the first warIike leader Of the
Teutonic nations; among the Romans
it was Dies Martis, the day OF Mars,
their god Of war. The fourth day OF
the week was, among the Saxons,
Woden's-daeg, the day of Wooden. or
Oden, another mythical being of high
warlike reputation among the northern
nations, and the nearest in character
TO the Roman god of war.

DOG A PROBLEM IN ENGLAND
Diminishing Food Supply Makes Ca
nine Industry Difficult One From
War Standpoint

The British government is wrestling
with the problem Of what to do with
dogs, in view of the rapidly diminish
ing stocks of food. 1t seems settled
that the number of dogs is to be re-
duced- There are hardly any dog bis
cults left, and no more will be manu-
featured. as the low grade flour from
which they are made is wanted for the
textile trades.
BOnar Law, chancellor of the exche-
quer, refused to include a heavy tax
on dogs in his budget. which he in
trOduced in the last week of April
His friends said that such a tax would
kill dOg-breeding as an industry, and
would work unequally between rich
and poor. The poor mans dog would
be sacrificed, while the pampered
PekineSe would flourish.
Now the alternative proposal is to
prohibit the breeding of dogs during
the war except under license. The eff
feet Of this would be to allow the per
petuation of pedigree breeds, which
have taken many years and large sums
Of money to produce, and also useful
dogs, like sheep dogs and army dogs
The breeding of mOngrels and prob
ably of purely fancy dogs would be
prohibited.
There will be no interference with
people who already have dogs. They
will in the future need all their in
genuity TO keep pets fed.

The MAKING OF
4 FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making Of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal SUBJ
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine il sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
It is the wonderful combination Of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful IN the treatment Of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use Of

Some time before the days of mid
summer have really arrived, MERCHANTS
assemble stocks Of silk street suits,
ready to be presented when the first
hot day comes. These midsummer
suits are almost untrimmed, but are
carefully designed and distinguished
by smart style-touches and niceties of
finish that place them close to the
formal suit class. Clever women
sometimes take their graceful but
plain suits and tone them up with
little effective hand work, but even
without that, they are equal to almost
any demand.
There are many pretty suits Of heavy
taffetas and Of gros-de-londre in the
displays. One Of the new taffeta suits
is shown in the picture and it could
hardly be simpler or palmer, but it is
remarkably good style. The coat opens

styles which were open TO the waist
