Hughes, Roosevelt and Taft.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat: The fact
that Roosevelt and Taft are support
ing Hughes has inspired the rumor
that the two may be found together
compaigning with the presidental
candidate. Roosevelt has announced
that he will make some speeches for
Hughes and that he will “strongly
support” him. Taft has expressed his
satisfaction with the nomination of
Hughes, paid tribute to his character
and intellect and pronounced his
Youngstown (Ohio) speech of 1908
the greatest in the history of American
politics. He has also signified his
willingness to make speeches for
Hughes, if invited, and has even ad
mitted that he would appear with
Roosevelt, although, with character
istic frankness, he makes no pretense
of personal affection for his former
friend. There is nothing inconsistant
in the co-operation of Taft and Roose
velt in support of Hughes. The con
test is between the Republican and
Democratic parties, which are tra
ditionally apart on many subjects, no
matter how closely they may approach
each other on some temporary issue.
Roosevelt, in his letter to the Progres
sive National Committee, pointed out
the fundamental differences between
the Democrats and the Republicans.
On certain of these fundamentals the
Progressives have agreed with the Re
publicans, while there can be no logical
agreement between the Progressives
and the Democrats. It would be dis
creditable to the wisdom and
patriotism of Taft and Roosevelt
should they allow their personal
differences to stand in the way of the
discharge of their public duty.
Both have every reason to be
friendly to Hughes. Taft appointed
him to the supreme bench. The last
political address Hughes ever made as
governor praised Roosevelt’s ad
ministration. The three men differ
much, tempermentally, Hughes oc
cupying the middle ground between
the impetuousity of Roosevelt and the
judicial deliberation of Taft. Hughes
was an advocate before he became a
judge and can state his side of a
question in a way to arouse enthusism.
Taft was always a judge, in method,
and stated the opposition’s side so
fairly that he disappointed his own
partisans. This made him a failure as
a political leader. Taft has more
veneration for precedents and orderly
rules than Hughes has. It is very
probable he would have agreed with
the majority of the Supreme Court in
declining to reopen the Leo Frank case
for the record was flawless. But
Hughes put essential justice above
form.
Differing as these three men do, and
the same differences in greater or less
degree are found among American
voters, they are in substantial agree
ment as to the chief needs of the
country. Both Taft and Roosevelt
should contribute much to the election
of Hughes.

ANOTHER LINK WITH CREIGHTON
Creighton Citizens Add Their Praise.
Another link with our neighboring
town of Creighton is provided in the
following grateful and generous
statement of a well-known resident
there, Mr. Fred C. Schneider, retired
farmer, who says: “I had a severe
attack of kidney trouble and was in
such bad shape that I could not move
without pain. The kidney secretions
caused me annoyance, especially at
night and I had rheumatic pains in my
back and shoulders. Colds aggravated
the trouble and made me feel miser
able in every way. Doan’s Kidney
Pills benefitted me and in a short
time I was able to do my work with
out suffiering.”
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mr. Schneider had. Foster-Milburn

Did You Ever See A Man Sending
Away For Postage Stamps?
If our guardian angel had boots in
stead of wings we would be kicked to
death. Every day you see some man
or woman with a load of goods bought
in credit stores where he had to pay
33 1-3 per cent more money. Why
don’t you read the newspapers and
find out where to buy goods. Or ask
your neighbor. When you have cash
go' to a cash store. When you are
broke go to the bank.
They have money to burn and if you
can’t get money at the bank its a cinch
the stores won’t give it to you. No,
all stores don’t sell goods at the same
price by a
Long, Long Ways.
Wake up before your guardian
angel hits you a slap with her wing.
If you don’t take the newspapers you
are foolish—the money the paper
costs is nothing to what you will save
by reading the ads of the stores that
want to sell goods.

FIVE HOURS WRESTLING.
Lewis Keeps Away From Stecker and
the Contest Goes Five Hours
Without a Fall.
Omaha, Neb., July 5.—After five
hours’ wrestling, the Joe Stecker-Ed
(Strangler) Lewis wrestling match
was called a draw by the referee here
last night. Lewis was on the de
fensive throughout the match.
Last fall at Evansville Stecker and
Lewis wrestled two hours and 10 min
utes to a draw. Yesterday Lewis set
out systematically to elude Stecker,
and there were few times when they
came to grips. Lewis easily broke
away from Stecker, but remained de
terminedly on the defensive.
Lays on Mat
Once Stecker laid down on the mat
and offered Lewis any hold he de
sired. Lewis turned his back to the
Nebraskan, ignoring the invitation.
The match began at 4 o’clock and at
9 o’clock Ed Smith, of Chicago, the i
referee, announced it a draw.
The crowd, estimated at 18,000, be
came impatient after an hour or so
and began to cry “coward” and “make
him wrestle” at Lewis. Then, as
Lewis continued to evade Stecher the
crowd became angry and hurled ,
cushions into the ring. Some of these
struck Stecher and some hit the
referee. Police removed several
persons. |
$30,000 Estimated Receipts.
Gene Melady, promoter of the
match, said receipts would approxi
mate $30,00, which will be divided 60
40 between the princapals and pro
moters, leaving about $18,000 to be
divided between Lewis and Stecher. *
The match was finished by lantern 1
light. The original intention, as an
...
nounced, had been to make it a finish
match, but the tactics of Lewis made V
this impossible. *
Large sums of money are reported
to have been wagered on the match,
the betting being mostly that Lewis
would stay a stated time with the Ne
braskan. Even the contingency of a
draw was ignored by the majority of
Stecher’s supporters.
