To be sure, but unfortunately for him, his interests politically In this campaign, are, in the nature of the case, as Inseparately linked with the cause of the brewers as though he had accepted a place voluntarily within their ranks. All his declarations will not change the situation, unless he chooses to put himself upon a new platform that will drive the brewers from his support." S. E. Nicholson, author of the Nicholson Law. TAFT'S RELIGION. The attacks which have emanated j from Democratic sources relative to i Mr. Taft's religion have been addressed to church people all over the country. It is just as well that this be explained although it can hardly be called an issue as there is no constitutional limitation as to the beliefs of the president, Mr. Taft is a Unitarian. Let us lay aside the pertinent question as to whether or not being a member of a church constitutes being a Christian and consider the Unitarian creed. Unitarians believe in the fatherhood of God, the brotherhood of man and the leadership of Jesus. In the latter case it may be truthfully said that the matter of divinity of Christ is a mat ter left for Individual decision. The distinctive part of the Unitarian faithIs religious freedom, holding that is essential to religious growth. In other words It Is In religious matters iden-

tlcal In Us assertion that a man must have the same liberty that the American stands for in other matters. It Is the same principle which, guided the Quakers the following of an Inward life. Now whether or not that religion is right or wrong the fact remains that the measure of a man's religion is not the creed to which a man subscribes, but his actions. If the religion Is wrong and it has borne good fruit the fruit must not be condemned. And if it Is wrong, Is it not the greater credit to the man who believes in it if he achieves the ideal in his daily life and has spotless character? Judge Taft has shown by his actions that he is a Christian who loves his neighbor as himself. His first concern during his whole life has not been for himself. It was self denial when he went on the bench when he might have made a fortune in the practice of

law. It was self denial which took I him from the bench to go to that terrible ordeal of the Philippines. It was self sacrifice for him to turn down the Chief Justiceship and to run for the Presidency. And his actions at all times have been Christian. He was the greatest aid to Bishop Brent of the Philippines in establishing missions and an organization corresponding to the Y. M. C. A. to keep the young Americans sent out to the Philippines from dissipation In that lonely region. And so ft was In the Panama zone that Taft's first care was the starting of the Y. M. C. A. for the benefit of the employes. Strange is it not that because this man gave a square deal to the Roman church In regard to the Friars lands that he be accused for leaning toward that church and at the same time be accused of things which are exactly the opposite from the tenets of the Catholic faith. The spirit of missions is the most vital of the Christian faith. Not only was Taft Instrumental In bringing about the ideal conditions in the Philippines but a missionary journal of last week praises him and prints a letter of some time ago as to his belief in the efficacy of Christian missions and in which he advocated and endorsed Christian missions, adding that he would do all in his power to help them. Where is the spirit of religious tolerance for which the first Americans suffered and died? If it shall come to pass that a man's church shall Interfere with his public service it will mean that we are going back. What would have been the fate of the Immortal Lincoln who had no church? Yet what man of his era was a better Christian? PRESIDENTIAL DICTATION. The people who have been objecting to what they are pleased to style Mr. Roosevelt's Interference in this campaign must have been a little shocked to find P. H. Grace of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen asking the president for his views on the labor question. This must be disconcerting to those of the Federation of Labor who have assailed the president on this matter to have one of their own number ask the views of the president. As a matter of fact the president has not usurped any constitutional right and as a matter of fact is there not a similarity between the president from time to time giving to the people of the United States information as to the state of the union and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient. He is given that power In regard to the representatives of the people why not to the people. Are the representatives more Important than the people. By no means. Have not the people a right to know the views of the president so that they may agree or disagree with him. The people have a right to know the state of affairs'in Roosevelt's adimnistratlon and what he thinks necessary in the future. No one else can do it so well as he. It is" no usurpation of rights. The right of the people to know Is well Illustrated by the request of P. H. Grace of the Brotherhood, of Railroad Trainmen. This cannot truthfully be called presidential dictation. SMALLPOX. ; There are In this town several cases of smallpox. But that does not mean there should be a panic, there have been more in this town. There Is no cause for a panic because modern medi

cine can control the situation. The only thing to fear is concealment. The concealment of cases ot smallpox simply means that the disease will spread unchecked. If any one has been exposed to smallpox the first thing to do Is to go to a physician and report the case and to be vaccinated. This will ward; off the disease or make it a light case. Those who have not been vaccinated or some time to be on the safe side must do so again. Concealment is the most dangerous part of smallpox. Smallpox is not so dread a disease as might be thought it is, not nearly so fatal as many other diseases and prompt vaccination has minimized disfigurement. There is no cause for alarm if proper measures are taken.

By EDWIN A. NYE. Coyrlht. 1. by Bdwln A. Nye. A SYSTEM BUILT ON LIES. The operations of the Chicago board of trade are conducted on a basis of pure fiction. The government maintains an expensive crop report, but there is slight connection between these reports and the prices on 'change. The entire system of trading on th board is fwended upon lies. fot-e Is one more proof: James A. Patten of Chicago, who has made millions by manipulating the market, while operating a recent wheat deal peddled all sorts of lies about the crop. He shouted calamity.1 He gave wide publicity to false stories about the rust and blight in the wheat belt. Be cretly he bought wheat But bis traders and pit leaders persistently lied about the crop damage. Then one day Patten threw s scare that caused wheat to jump up 6-wnts a bushel. By lying he made a million and a half But when b gained somebody lost For instance-. John G. Lund of Minneapolis was a wealthy land dealer. He received reports about the crops from his Ircal agents. They knstr conditions and told Lund the truth. They denied the stories about the damage. On the strength of these reports the truth Lund sold largely. On the day that Patten, with bis lies, sent wheat up 5 cents a bushel Lund blew out his brains five minutes before the market closed. He was a disgraced and ruined man. ratten made his cleanup on lies. Lund followed the truth and lost. Nor Is that all of the ?nle of ruin wrought by Patten in fclfr deception. Because of the fictions invented by Patten and his brokers the largest milling firm in the world went into bankruptcy, because it could not get wheat from the farmers at a reasonable price. The farmers knew the truth about the crop, but they followed Patten, bellev ing he would force the price up. They held their wheat The men who followed Patten the farmers excepted made big money. Those who followed the truth were ruined. It is all a pure gamble with the dice loaded against you. However, the "corner" is over. Patten and his coterie have pocketed their gains, while the losers hide away In the obscurity of their ruined homes. But The day is coming when government the people must strangle this monster of speculation. !iKA!nn: Good housewives prefer Gold Medal Flour. - Saxomb

Sees the Defeat of

Education St. Louis, Mo., Oct 26. That by Christian moral education and not by prohibitory legislation the intemperance evil will be most successfully combated and finally eradicated is the belief of His excellency, the Most Rev. Diomede Falconio. apostolic delegate to the United States, who has been the guest of Aachbishop John J. Glennon since laying the cornerstone of the new cathedral last Sunday. Morality and Christian character will bring to the mind of the individual who possesses a good Christian education what a crime is the abuse of liquor and, in consequence, he will not be found guilty of the present common offense. Campaign Due to Abuse. "The prohibition movement which is sweeping the country today has been brought about, not by the prevalent use of liquor, but indeed by its abuse," UTAH CITY WAS DISAPPOINTED Taft Special Did Not Stop at v Little Town. Fountain City, Ind., Oct 26. The entire population of Fountain City and nearly all the fanners in this section of the county assembled at the Panhandle station here Saturday morning, hoping that by such a display of numbers the special train bearing W. II. Taft might be induced to stop and that the future president would address a few remarks to them. To the disappointment of everyone the train did not stop in fact it did not even hesitate. However the crowd caught a glimpse of Mr. Taft, who bowed and waved a newspaper. Church Calendar Monday.

' ' An Effective Retort. The late Rev. Patrick Watson, vica of Earlsfleld. was a great authority oi the Holy Land, and he was also i stickler for accuracy. An amusin passage of arms once took place be tween him and the archbishop of Car terbury. A committee report was ui der consideration, and Mr. Watson oi jected to the heading "Removal o Premises" on the ground that th things Inside the premises were re moved and not the building.

There is no need for it in that country.. There wine is not only the drink, but it is also the food of the people. Moral Education Needed. "Here in America we will not obtain the desired results by enacting prohibitory laws. In such eases the very ones against whom the law is especially directed will find means of secretly evading it No matter what laws you may make, people without a moral education will find a way of violating them." DEMOCRATS MET AT GREEHSFOSK Candidates Spoke to Fair Sized Audience. Greensfork, Ind., Oct. 26. The first democratic meeting of the campaign was held here Saturday night and was fairly well attended.

RICHMOND PLANT BEST 111 COUNTRY

German Electrical Experts Compliment Local Automatic Telephone System. MADE AN INSPECTION. HAVE VISITED OTHER PLANTS IN THE COUNTRY BUT FOUND NONE SO COMPLETE AS LOCAL COMPANY'S. "Richmond has the most complete automatic telephone plant of any city In this country I have yet visited," was the compliment paid the Richmond Home Telephone Company this morning by Dr. Raps, director general of the Siemens-Halske Electrical company, of Berlin. Germany, with a corps of engineers, is touring this country 1 inspecting the automatic telephone system with the end in view of purchasing the patent rights of the invention for the German empire. The Siemens-Halske Company is the largest electrical manufacturing plant in Europe, employing over UO.OOO men. Dr. Raps Is accompanied by Dr. Frank and Mr. Bauman, respectively, the New York and London representatives of hi company, and by Engineers Graber and Heiser. The Siemens-Halske Company representatives are accompanied on their American tour by W. E. Cooke, manager of the Automatic Electric Company, and F. Lubberger, of the engineering department of the same company. The German visitors were shown over the plant of the Home company this morning and were delighted with everything they saw. The local automatic system is one of the very latest established in this country and all the appliances in use are the latest invention, consequently the Germans were more Interested in the operation of the local plant than any they have so far Inspected. After the inspection of the North Ninth street plant the visitors were shown the sub stations and the conduit system. They were greatly impressed with everything they saw and were loud in their praises of the concrete poles used by the company and manufactured by a . local concern. Shortly before noon the Inspection party left for Chicago where they will see how the automatic system is operated in a large city. WOULD QUIT RACE UNLESS OWN STATE WOULD PROVE TRUE (Continued From Page One) called to published charges that his brother, Henry W. Taft Elihu Root, now secretary of state and himself, as governor general of the Philippines, had been in co-operation with Speyer & Co., in the building of railroads in the Philippines. He denied them. ' These charges were made by Willard Green and are along the same line as charges made some time ago by W. J. Bryan. Judge Taft replied to the Bryan charges In a speech in Norwood, Ohio, on September 19, In which he said that Mr. Bryan had been misinformed. Mr. Bryan never has returned to the charge. In regard to the Green charges, Judge Taft said that Green bad been a prospective bidder for the construction of railroads in the Philippines under the government guarantee to pay 4 per cent on the bonds Issued for such construction. This guarantee was authorized by congress. There is a railroad called the Manila and Dagupan Road that runs out of Manila for 120 miles through the valley. This road was owned by an English syndicate when the American occupation took place and was seized by the Americans as a military necessity. After the pacification of Luzon and after the act of congress guaranteeing nterest on railroad construction bonds in the Philfppines bids were asked for the construction of new roads, and Green was a prospective bidder, under the supposition that the bonds would be government bonds and not object to tax. The only terminal facilities in Manila were owned by the Manila and Dagupan road, and that read was at an advantage in the bidding In connection with Speyer & Co., of New. York.

Acid And Alkali In The Stomach

Digests The Food Naturally If In Right Proportion; If Not: Then Dyspepsia. Acid and alkali make up the liquid known as pas trio juice, which digests your food. If through abuse of the stomach, or weakness of blood or through scores of other causes this gastric julee Is not made up correctly of acid and alkali, your stomach cannot digest food. tuth a stomach then acta as a pit where the food lies, ferments, decays, is thrown off at last either Into the Intestines or is vomited from the system. If thrown Into the intestines a large prorortion of it is taken up and passed Into the blood, for the intestines are covered on the insiUo surfaces with millions of little mouths which are places there to suck up nourishment for the blood. You may readily see that if instead of good rich nourishment, there is vile poisonous fermented bile and acid, these same little mouths suck some ot it by necessity and pass It Into the blood. The blood in turn throws it oft and the system is immediately placeo In an imperfect state. The blood Is weakened, the tissues lose strength, the skin becomes diseased and man in general suffers In a score of places. Then again the blood furnishes gastric juloe to the stomach, for when the gastric juice Is not needed for digestive purposes It goes back to the blood. When food comes into the stomach the nerves along the Alimentary Canal and in the mouth signal the brain for help and the blood immediately furnishes sufficient gastric juice to do the work well and quickly. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets go into the stomach, balance the gastric juice, digest the food, are taken up by the blood, purifies it and when the food comes again to the stomach a natural gastric Juice of right proportion greets it and does Its work perfectly. After a time these little tablets restore Nature, build up the gastric juice and there is no longer dyspepsia. Every druggist carries them la stock, price fc; every druggist and -M.-000 physicians will attest their word to the merit of these tablets.

Stuart Co., 150 Stuart Bldg., Marshall. Mich. MAN WHO WROTE NICHOLSON LAW (Continued from Page One) the candidate of the brewers. To be sure, but unfortunately for him, his Interests politically In this campaign. are, In the nature of the case, as In separately linked with the cause of the brewers as though he had accepted a place voluntarily within their ranks. All his declarations will not change the situation, unless he chooses to put himself upon a new platform that will drive the brewers from his support. State Situation Clear. Will the voters dare hope that the present vantage ground of the county local option law will be more surely maintained by the election of Mr. Marshall, supported as he Is by the entire liquor fraternity of the state? Those who have looked for reform through the election of the democratic nominee for governor, and the consequent rebuke to the republican party for Ills, real or imagined, have picked the wrong year to do it. The issues have not shaped themselves that way, and for any friend of good government to act upon this theory is to cut off his nose to spite his face. Let it be said in this connection that the issue Inevitably Is no less one as to whether the moral cj, liquor interests shall be dominant in the politics and legislation of the state, than whether the present county local option law shall be maintained to bring widespreadbenefit to the commonwealth, or through its repeal the state shall go backward from its march of progress. The coming decades will feel the effect for weal or for woe of the present gubernatorial and legislative elections. Apparently some of the more liberally Inclined republican leaders are in danger.
