CONCERNING MR. SMITH. Now that the weather has grown colder and the heat of the campaign is over. It does the heart and circulation bo end of good to read a letter such as 'was addressed to and called forth by Mr. William Dudley Foulke. No more deserved castlgation ever camo from the pen of the president than the tetter In which he flayed Delavan Smith, and the other newspapers who had to do with the spreading of the infamous Ho which was dignified Into the Panama scandal. It seems strange that the editor of the News should have been guilty of misrepresentation he has never been even suspected of that before. It is too bad that he took the word of the New York World! No one has had the confidence la its word that he has displayed! It is a mystery how any paper while "disclaiming any responsibility for its accuracy" could have found any basis for the mud-slinging editorial, the best way to have "disclaimed any responsibility" would havo been to hare left out the editorial. Or is It the custom of that paper to base its editorial comment on that sort of thing? i To newspaper men the most eowardly part of the proceeding will be the laying of the blame at the door of the man who writes Mr. Smith's editorials. In well managed papers there Is usually some connection between the spoken order of the management and the printed word In the editorial column. Mr. Smith may indeed have been in Cleveland, but his policy was evidently well known and carried out, for it was consistent with the other editorials of that paper. And finally, the most conclusive evidence is the fact that since that date Mr. Delavan Smith's efforts have been to clear himself rather than to straighten up the matter and to use every effort in his power to let In light on the matter. That scurrillous shovelful of nastlness for which the News stood sponsor dtd not do any harm. It will be remembered of the last campaign that the lie Was told in the Coliseum in this town, by a fiery orator and the audience which had applauded his every word remained silent when he paused for applause at the end of the He. The public has a suspicion of "Who Is Who in America." It did not need Mr. Roosevelt's letter to convince It that Smith is a "conspicuous offender." The people of Indiana know the News. And the News casts a slur on th understanding of the citizens of this state when it trys to foist such a He tm the public. It speaks well for the tntegrlty of the press all over the country that only a few papers followed the lead of the World. About the sire of It is that most people in these parts will be glad that Delavan Smith got his. DELENDA EST CARTHAGO! The message of the president It ap pears was not listened to in its read ing before congress. Most people know why. If the members of congress had been asked they would have laid it was because they knew what Ihe president was going to say and in ihat they would have been right. The message Is intruth but a re-iter-itlon of all the other messages of the president. Differences there are of rourse but the keynote is the same. A Square Deal! The message touches on all the problems of the day and those prob lems may vary and change and reap pear but in the president's mind the solution is ever the same. It is the solution of the square deal. Whether it be corporation abuse, land grabbing, conservation of nation al resources, postal changes, the cen us, reform of the courts, labor, over grown fortunes, public health, or tie Philippines, the answer and the recommendation of the Man in the White House now. Is a square deal for all. This Is only another way of saving that we must be honest It reminds one of a parallel in history. When the Roman Republic bad still the splendid ideals which have stood for all ages and which influence as even today its very life was threat sned by the dlsing power of Carth ige under the leadership of the re

doubtable Hannibal. Then there arose In the Roman senate the figure of the illustrious Cato. ' "Carthage must be destroyed. The Roman senate heeded him not at all. And no matter thereafter what the subject of the discourse might be" those words of Cato's gradually burned themselves into the Inner consciousness of the senate. For every time he made a speech he ended it always with the same words "Delenda est Carthago." And so in this year of our Lord 1908, Roosevelt has ended his message with the same keynote with which he began it "Carthage," the stronghold of corporate pirates, land grabbers, special interests, feeders out of the public crib, grafters and boodlers, and all the company of the foes which beset the republic must be destroyed. It is not enough to repulse them as they have been time and again with varying success. "Carthage" must be destroyed from the very ground and one stone not left upon another! That is the real message of the president. No wonder congress did not listen to it.

HASKELL LAND GRAB PROBED BY PRESIDENT Oklahoma Executive Accused Of Gobbling Lots. Washington, Dec. 9. President Roosevelt has decided to send a spec ial attorney to Oklahoma to investl gate Governor Haskell's acquisition of town lots through Indian titles. In a letter to William J. Bryan during the recent presidential campaign the president commended upon these acquisitions by Oklahoma's governor. The department of justice, acting up on Information furnished by the secretary of the interior, has been conducting an investigation for several months into the methods by which white persons obtained titles to valuable Indian lands. Assistant Attorney General Russell has made several trips to Oklahoma looking up evidence. More than 4,000 suits have been commenced in the federal courts of Oklahoma by the United States to set aside conveyances. BATTLESHIPS GET TO CEYLON MONDAY Cruiser Panther Has Already Arrived. Colombo, Ceylon, Dec. 9. The Amer ican auxiliary cruiser Panther arrived here Tuesday rrom Cavite. The Pan ther precedes the American battleship fleet under the command of Rear Ad miral Sperry, which left Manila December l. The 16 warships are due here next Monday, and the municipal ity is perfecting arrangements to en tertain the American officers and men. Rheumatism Caused By Dyspepsia So Claim Many Eminent Doctors Upon Recent Scientific Investigation. A large school of physicians which is constantly increasing, claims that the eating of too much animal foods creates an over supply of proteids, which are composed of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen oxygen and sulphur, and that when such proteids are imperfectly digested and go into the blood they create vast quantities of nitrogen which the oxygen from the lungs cannot neutralize and hence results, uric acid and rheumatism and scores of other diseases. These proteids do not permit the assimilation processes to take place properly and poisoning results all through the blood. However, if such proteids are perfectly digested they form a most valuable part of our food and are absolutely necessary to life. The fault then rests with the stomach and the digestive apparatus. Hence it is claimed by these latter day authorities that rheumatism arises In the stomach or through the stomach and not in the kidneys as some medical authorities teach. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure dyspepsia, reduce proteids to their natural condition best taken up by the system, give strength to the blood, rest the stomach and invigorate and renew the gastric fluids, pancreatic juice and the digestive organs in generat. Forty thousand physicians use these little digesters, and every druggist sells them. 50c per box or send us your name and address and we will send you a trial package by mail free. Address, F. A.

TRUST BUSTER MARVELS AT TESTIMONY OF JOHN D. Kellogg Declares That the Statemeuts of Rockefeller and Archbold Made on Witness Stand in Oil Trust Suit Are Absurd.

New York, Dec 0. Frank B. Kellogg, the Minnesota lawyer, who is conducting the most important suit the Standard Oil company has ever bad to deal with, a suit which, if won by the government, will bring about a dissolution and reorganization of that great trust believes that there is a fine lot of lying being done in the hearings. "These lapses of memory on the part of witnesses like Rockefeller and Archbold," declared Mr. Ktilogg yesterday, with fine scorn, "are absurd perfectly absurd! The idea of any man having the face to 6ay that he can't recall the details of a $23,000,000 deal! He must think the public is a fool." "What are these men most afraid of?" "Oh, I don't know," said Kellogg. "I can't understand such people. If they aren't conducting their business improperly why shouldn't they be willing to testify like good citizens? I'll tell SEARCH FOR KIERAN Police Would Take Into Cus tody Former President of Fidelity Company. TWO RECEIVERS IN CASE. New York, Dec. 9. The police have been asked to arrest P. J. Kieran, former president of the Fidelity Funding company, but they have not located him. The officers had been advised that Kieran and his wife would return from Washingeon, but if they arrived they were not recognized. It has developed in connection with the affairs of the Fidelity Funding company that rival receivers, state and federal are now engaged in litigation for possession of the concern's assets. Thomas F. Gilroy Jr., who is now acting as temporary state receiver, was appointed as such on Oct 27. About two weeks later, on Nov. 12, application to the United States district court here, by several large creditors of the company, resulted in the appointment of Robert C. Morris as federal receiver. , Mr. Morris attempted to secure the assets and books of the company but found State Receiver Gilroy already in possession. Mr. Gilroy refused to turn the property over, and on an order to show cause raised the point that the Fidelity Funding company was not engaged in a trading business and therefore could not be adjudicated in bankruptcy in federal proceedings. The federal receiver, resisting this contention, a referee was appointed to hear arguments. No hearings have been held, but it is understood that the referee, Peter B. Olney, will take up the case shortly. LECTURE BUREAUS SEEK Fight Over the Vice President's Services. Washington, Dec. 9. The lyceum bureaus are after Vice President Fairbanks, and are vieing with each other In efforts to book him for engagements next season.. The managers of these bureaus have learned that he intends to enter the lecture field, and apparently they see in him the mak ing of a very good attraction. The! vice president has not signed any contract as yet. He will have three lectures, one of which will deal with the life and character of William McKlnley. "KISSER" ROBSON HAS FEELINGS HURT Sues Congressman for $20,000 on Libel Charge. Boston, Dec. 9. Action for alleged slander, in which $20,000 damages are claimed, has been brought by Congressman Richmond P. Hobson, of Alabama, against Congressman John A. Keliher, of Massachusetts. The alleged remarks which caused the action to be brought were made during the recent campaign immediately following a visit to this city of Captain Hobson, who spoke in the interest of Joseph A. Conroy for congress, the latter contesting unsuccessfully with Congressman Keliher for the nomination. Both Congressmen are democrats. MOVES TO RICHMOND. County Treasurer-Elect Albertson Comes Here. Albert R. Albertson, treasurer-elect of Greensfork, has moved to his new home on South Fifteenth street, this city. He will take his place as county treasurer, January 1. Capt. Archibald Wlllingham Butt, the new military aid at the White House is a fine tennis player and has already become a member of President Roosevelt's "tennis cabinet," He played his first game as partner with the eminent chief, matched against the French ambassador. M. Jusserand, and Postmaster-General Merar.

you what it is," he declared, "these men have been so long accustomed to power and to doing exactly as they

please in everything that they are amazed and enraged at the very idea of being forced to tell what it does not please them to tell. They are autocratic and defiant through habit and temperament. "What do they want all this money for, anyway?" pursued Kellogg, half laughing. "I can't imagine myself wanting a huge useless fortune. I'd much rather remain a plain lawyer. "It's all wrong, too, tils idea that has got about of late years, that a young man must sacrifice his Ideals to succeed In any line of business. If a man has brains he doesn't need to resort to tricks In order to 'get there,' and if he does resort to tricks he'll trip up some day when he least expects to. Business is founded on honesty after all, you know." THE TROOPS TO STAY Americans Will Occupy Cuba Long After New President Takes Place. POLICY HAS BEEN CHANGED Washington, D. C, Dec. 9. A change has taken place in the program of the administration for the withdrawal of the American troops from Cuba. Instead of the movement terminating January 28, when the new president is to be inaugurated, as heretofore announced by Secretary Wright, the withdrawal will be more gradual, and, according to the present program, will run into April. The change in the policy of the administration was announced after the cabinet meeting. According to this program, American troops will be available for service in the islands during the transition from the provisional to the regular government and for a reasonable time subsequent thereto, so that if disorders arise they will be on hand for duty. This change, it is said, is entirely agreeable to the Cuban authorities, who are coming into office. One transport will be used in bringing the troops back to the United States and they will be landed at such ports as may be most convenient for them to reach the stations to which they may be assigned. The first of the troops will sail from the island January 1. FESTIVAL NOW OCCUPIESATTENTION High School Students Prepare For Big Event. The high school is a busy place now.

Ot this quantity nine-tenths are afforded by the sugar cane.23,000,000 tons of which are required to produce the above quantity of cane sugar. The average of saccharine matter in the ripe West Indian sugar cane, is from 18 to 21 per cent., of which only 8 per cent, is available to commerce. The total value of the sugar in the cane, if it could be extracted, would be about $230,000,000. but one-balf is lost in the process of manufacture.
