SOME FRANK CANDIDATES
(By Special Wireless.)
Mentor, O., June 21, 1908.
Speaking here today, at the unveiling
of a monument to President Garfield,
Secretary Taft confirmed previous
golden opinions of his candor and
frankness. He dwelt upon the un
happy side of Garfield's life, referred
to his reported, disagreement with
members of his family, and said that
his main purpose in touching on this
sad theme was to show how, by ris
ing above a little personal "weakness,
a man could still reach the presi
dency. The cabinet member of Mr.
Garfield's family and others were
present.
Lincoln, Neb. July 4. Mr. Bryan
referred today to some of the little
known incidents In the life of
George Washington, and touched del
icately on certain aspects of his ca
reer for the purpose, as-he explained,
of showing , that the first president
was not a creature of a marble
heart, as commonly represented.
Some indignation was expressed here
today by the republicans who belong
to the Sons of ttie Revolution and
by the members of the Society ,of the
Cincinnati. -

Alexander Hamilton, first delivered
before the Hamilton- club in Brook
Ivn last winter, Secretary Cortelyou
intimated that there were several
facts about Hamilton's birth in re
gard to which it would be inadvisable
to speak too freely. He touched
upon the regrettable circumstances
in the presence of some relatives of
Hamilton, not to hurt their feelings,
but to show how, even with such a
handicap, a man might rise to be
like himself, the secretary- of the
tr""oii.y.
Chicago, July 2. Speaking here
today before the joint assembly of
the Christian Endeavor Society and
the W. C. T. U., "Uncle Joe" Cannon
expressed his abhorrence of that
trait in Abraham Lincoln which led
him, the greatest son of Illinois, to
occasionally use swear words, and
tell stories decidedly off color in
order to make a point. He himself
A Sign
of poor blood circulation is shortness of
"breath after walking, going up stairs,
sweeping, singing, excitement, anger,
fright, etc. Poor blood circulation
means a sick heart, and a sick heart is
the result of weak and impoverished
nerves.
Everyone knows tho results of poor
blood circulation, but everybody does
not know that tho quickest and safest
treatment Is Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure.
If you find these symptoms present
you should not neglect them, but at
once procure a bottle of
Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure
It will cure, and at a very little ex
pense, compared with doctors' bills. Wo
are so sure of it, that if the first bottle
does not benefit, your druggist will re
turn your money. It will do for you
what it has done for thousands in like

had, .he declared, never used a single
oath in his whole career not a damn
one and as for telling vulgar
stories, he abominated the practice.
(Cheers and cries 'of "Glory Halle
lujah!") He was very sorry to
touch on this dark side of the eman
cipator's career, particularly in the
city in which some of his family
lived, but it was a duty the older
generation owed to the younger to
set forth the moral lessons to be
drawn from the lives of its great
men. He yielded to none in his
affectionate admiration for Lincoln.
Cohoes, N. Y., August 1. D.well
ing here today on the race track
evils, now happily abolished in this
state, Governor Hughes said he re
gretted to learn that a distinguished
son of New York, Chester Arthur,
was reported to have visited the race
tracks on more than one occasion.
He mentioned this Bad fact in order
to assure the Sunday school children
before him that the true way to hap
piness was to read their own hearts
and not to act so as to create talk
in the newspapers. It was necessary
to dwell on the private errors of our
public men if we were to profit by
them.
St. Paul, Minn., August 3. Gov
ernor Johnson today, in addressing
the Swedish Home Rule Society, said
that he was distinctly a Jeffersonian
democrat. By that he must not be
understood to approve of those hu
man weaknesses of Jefferson which
pre-eminently stamped him as a
ifcn?fure of the eighteenth century,
gether as 6ncTdoubtedly due to his
one c wkv. ''with the manners and
morals 'of the? French revolution. He
-was sorry thus to have to touch on
the frail side of Jefferson's life, par
ticularly as there were no direct de
scendants td listen to him; but as
these facts were printed In several
histories and are supposedly known
t,o all well-read people, there cpuld
be no harm in his pointing out. that

of, but in spite of, his many errors

enlarged postal subsidy provision
nor out-and-out subsidies could re
vive the American merchant marine.
Something more than that would be
needed. Even it ships could bo built
as cheaply in this country as abroad,
they still could not be operated as
economically.
Before we can hopo to see the
American flag flying over tonnage in
every sea, we must be prepared to
permit the purchasing or building of
ships wherever they can be had tho
cheapest. We must also be pre
pared to compete with foreign ves
sels on oven terms as to expense of
operation, cost of crew, and other
matters. These things may be dis
tasteful to American notions, but
they are essential if we are ever to
compete successfully for our share

A WARNING
i i
"Taft's sympathies are altogether
with the great and powerful, and, in
his estimation, the rights of property
aro paramount to the rights of man.
He is a natural born autocrat, and,
with a hungry mob of place hunters
I back of him, would set about creat
ing a strong centralized government
which would be the stepping stone to
the abrogation of the most cherished
rights of the American people. In
our estimation, his government of
the Philippine Islands proves this be
yond all dispute, since it was one
continuous assault uponthe rights
of the people4 through arrogant con
trol of the judiciary, abolishing trial
by jury, appealing from verdicts of
"not guilty," increasing punishment
on appeal, denying American citizens
the right to keep arms, and the en
actment of severe libel and sedition
laws. Let his record of despotism
NONE BETTER SOME QUICKER
Between June 1 and' August 31,
when practically all of the wheat
fields of the United States will be
harvested, there are only eighty
working days, and during each one
of these there will be turned into
the storehouses of the country eight
million bushels of wheat, or 666,666
bushels every hour in a working day
of twelve hours each.
There is no better way than this
of getting rich. Wall Street

AS TO SHIP SUBSIDIES
The advocates of ship subsidies
have encountered another defeat in
congress, and it may be taken for
granted that the measure is dead, for
this year at least, although we may
confidently expect the matter to bob
up serenely during the next session
of congress in some new form and
highly sugar coated to conceal the
bad flavor.
So very unpopular has the whole
matter of subsidies become that the
shipping people did not dare advo
cate an out-and-out subsidy proposi
tion. They contented themselves
with asking for an enlarged mail
contract which would subsidize a
number of lines running to the
Orient. After getting the measure
through the senate, they counted on
tacking it onto the postoffice appro
priation bill. In this they have sig
nally failed, however, as the house
of representatives persistently de
clined to entertain the proposition
as an amendment to an appropriation
bill or in any other way.
The people who are constantly
howling for subsidies denounce those
opposed to them as enemies of Amer-
