HIS WORD OF REAL WORTH
World Would De Better N There Were
More Like This Omaha Busi-
ness Man.

An Omaha newspaper man has q
motor car, remarks the World Herald
Of that city. Last spring he had II
painted. Not long ago the surface be-
gan to develop an amazing series of
cracks like the "crow's feet" about an
old mans eyes. The man greeted the
cracks with amazement rapidly becom
ing disgust. Every time he looked at
the car he lost his appetite and his
good temper.
The other day the car was taken to
the paint shop. It's owner was fully
prepared to hear that he had used the
wrong kind of polish. that he had let
the car stand out in the sun, that any
thing and everything had spoiled the
paint except that the paint itself
was at fault.
The painter looked the car over
"If you'll bring 1t in, I'll do It over"
he said. "The varnish must have been
bad"
II was all over In two minutes. Tho
mans faith In human nature jumped
several hundred per cent The sky
was clear: the whole world was set in
rosy hue.
Here was q man who didn't dodge
responsibility, who tried no excuse.
who backed his work with his word
and made good his word.
Isn't 1t a pretty good policy?

English Wemen Buying Farms.

Women i'm England are buying their
own farms or their own truck and gar
den spaces in rather conspicuous num-
bers. And this Is all an outcome Of
the tremendous work done by women
on the land during the war. The gen.
eral feeling Is that there will not be
much room for the common female
farm laborer as time advances. but for
the woman who has a little money and
who looks upon farming as her pro-
fession and her life work there is ex-
cellent opportunity In this direction.
In the first place. on account of the
compact location Of the garden spaces
and the cities In England transpOrta-
ton Of foOdstufrs is easy. Then gar
den truck and flowers do grow abun-
dainty and profusely there. and always
find ready markets.

time he at last brought out from re-

The little girl looked at it. then at

Knew But One Boss;
That Was Mrs. ct. R. :"

When Col. Roosevelt was living
in the hospital at Chicago, after
the attempt to assassinate him,
persistently debating to stenog-
raphers, holding conferences, and
planning to go on with his speak
ing tour. Mrs. Roosevelt was sent
for by his friends, in a great rush,
as the one person who could per-
suade I'm to behave"
Two or three of the ColoneTs Do
litical aides were in the room when
she arrived.
She turned to the men and sug-
Gested smilingly that she thought
they were wanted at a conference
downstairs. They took the hint
and started out the door immedi-
ately.
As they were going the CoIoner
called after them:
Il guess there's nothing to this
rule OF the people proposition after
all. Right here's an example of
boss rule"
On his way to Oyster Bay, after
the shooting Col. Roosevelt turned
to one Of his party and inquired:
What did that fellow shoot mo
with.
"A .2s caliber." replied the friend.
Long or short?"

HOW DOCTORS treat
COLDS and GRIPPE

Ask any physician or druggist and
he will tell you that the best and only
effective remedy for bad cold, sore
throat or la grippe is what he calls
"a brisk calomel purge" which
means big dose of calomel at bed
time. But as the old style calomel
has some very unpleasant and dan
Gerous qualities physicians and drug
Cists are now recommending the i'm
proved nausealess calomel tablet
called "Calotabs" which is free from
the slckenins and dangerous effects
and whose medicinal virtues are vast
~ improved.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with a swallow of water-that's
all. No salts, no nausea nor the
slightest interference with your diet,
pleasures or work. Next morning
your cold has vanished and your en-
tire system feels purified and re-
freshed.
Calotabs are sold only in original
sealed packages, price thirty-fiye
cents. Your druggist guarantees Gallo
tabs by refunding the price il YOU
are not delighted.-Adv.

Proved Inconsistent.

In the campaign Roosevelt was. a
tremendous influence. and, although
Stimson was defeated. turned a good
many thousand doubtful votes into
the Republican column. He carried
the fight into three other States.
Massachusetts. Connecticut and Ohio.
and in each OF the three a Demo-
cratic governor was elected. One
point used with some effect against
him was a very real inconsistency in
his views on the tariff. as expressed
in the West and as expressed in the
East
Following this campaign, Roosevelt
remained out Of active politics for a
time. He was outspokenIy sntago-
nistic TO one OF the policies OF Presi-
dent Tafts administration. namely.
the ratification OF arbitration treaties
with Great Britain and France. These
treaties covered virtually all ques-
tions in their scope. and Roosevelt
took exception 10 those questions in
volving national honor. For this
stand he was charged with incon-
sistency. and WAS generally opposed
by the best opinion.
AS the time camc nearer to the Re-
publican National Convention Of 1872.
it became increasingly evident that
Roosevelt was actively seeking the
Presidential nomination for a third
term. At last, on February o5. he
MADE public 4 letter written TO the
governors OF several States. who had
asked him TO declare himself. He
explained that his former declaration.
that under no circumstances would
he accept another nomination, had
meant a third consecutive one.

Browns birth, and in that speech de-
ciared that the American people. are
right in demanding that new national
ism without which we cannot hope to
deal with new problems.
At the meeting Of the Republican
State Committee on August lS. Roose-
welt was turned down as temporary
chairman OF the State convention af-
ter he had expressed his willingness
TO accept the honor. However, he
carried his fight TO the floor Of the

C.O.P.NOW LOOKS
FOR new PILOT
Gems. Pershing and Wood
and Senator Harding
Possible Successors.

Colonel Roosevelts death has re-
moved a man who in the public mind
was regarded as most likely to be the
Republican Presidential nominee in
the 1870 campaign
Republican leaders here today said
1t had been well understood for a long
time that il Roosevelt's health per-
uitted he would seek the nomination.
Many well-informed politicians be-
lieved he could easily obtain II.
The removal of their logical candi-
date" left Republicans today consid-
erably disturbed. The reason for this
Is that among the many other as
pirants for the place every shade of
Republican and Progressive belief is
represented The fear was expressed
that lacking Roosevelt. the party may
not be able to take full advantage of
what many Republicans call the
coUntry's Republican trend"
PershIng Most Prominent.
Close u:Ion the expressions of sor-
row which followed announcement of
the Coloners death Capitol politicians
began discussion of the chances of
other candidates.
Three names stood out with distinct
prominence. First and foremost
among the three is the name of Gen.
John ]. Pershing. leader OF the Ameri-
can army in France. Then comes
Gen Leonard A. Wood. who for a
brief time loomed as a dark horse"
at the Chicago convention in 1916
which nominated Justice Hughes,
nF al
man as the leader of the party has
been forcibly impressed upon those
who guide the party's affairs at thl,
end. Gen Pershing, it is recognized
would be a candidate OF strength and
power. The only question agitatinr
the minds of the party leaders here is
whether the general has any intention
or inclination to so into politics in q
formidable way.
May Not Be willing.
II has been pretty definitely set
ted that Pershings leanings are
toward the Republican party. al
though he has been a soldier so
long that he hasn't had much tins
10 bother with political affairs. But
he may not be willing to be a can
didate of the Republican party or
~ any OAlltI party which, OF course,
would eliminate him from consid-
Grafton in connection with the party
leadership.
Gen. Woods experiences in the
present war have won him a large
amount of sympathy. Republican
leaders claim, and they may turn
TO him in the event That Gen. Per-
shinE stays out OF it.
Warren G.. Harding. Senator from
Ohio. is the third leading figure in
the discussions of party leadership.
He made the keynote speech at the
last Republican convention. and al
though at that time was generally
looked upon as one of the "Old
Guard" following. his opinions on
many matters have changed. and
now it is said the Progressives
would have no trouble in reconcile
ing their political consciences with
his leadership.
1t is understood that men Ike
Senators Watson. of Indiana: Borah.
of Idaho; Curtis. of Kansas, and
Kenyon Of Iowa are willing to take
up Harding as the residuary legatee
of Roosevelt and that others among
the Progressives would follow suit

making public letters from President
Roosevelt to himself. and his own
letter to Sidney Webster. In that
correspondence it was brought out
that Roosevelt had asked Hartman
to raise a campaign fund for the use

Worked for Naval Reform.


Roosevelt resigned his position as
police commissioner in March. 1897,
to return to Washington as Assist
ant Secretary of the Navy. He at
once set under way a general over
hauling of the various bureaus. cut
ting red tape in every direction. He
asked for and received an enormous
sum for ammunition. Within a few
months it was used up, and he as
tonished Congress by asking for
more.
Another way in which he provided
for the emergency of war was in
stocking the American coaling sta
tions; it was his foresight in this
respect that enabled Dewey to set
sail for Manila with full bunkers.
When at last the war actually
came. Roosevelt's tireless energy
supplemented the work of Secre-
tary Long in an invaluable manner.
1t was he who urged successfully
that Admiral Dewey be retained in
command of the Asiatic station
when it was proposed to supplant
him. and one of his last official
acts was to write the famous dis
patch which sent Dewey to Manila.
The routine work of a depart
ment even in war time did not suit
Roosevelt, however, and he deter
mined to forsake the desk for the
field. There is nothing more for
me to do here" he told the friends
who eXpostulated with him. I've
got to get into the fight myself" He
