A LIVELY: ROW OVER TREASURY JOBJREDICTED Friends of Meyer and Herrick Both Advocating Candidacy Of Their Favorites With Great Energy.

General opinion is meyer has advantage k)h io Man Also Has Strong Chance of Landing Portfolio as President-Elect Owes Him Political Debt. (By Guy W. Finney. Washington, Jan. 9. There is promise ot a lively row over the treasury (portfolio in President-elect Taft's cabinet At least, that is the way matters ure shaping in view of the instance f the friends of Postmaster General George von 1 Meyer that he is entitled to the place and the later claims of the friends of ex-Governor Myron T. Herrick of Ohio. The probability Ss that Mr. Taft will ponder long and 'hard before he decides for or against feither man. If there is anything in being first Jin the field for an office; Mr. Meyer anay have a slight advantage over his Eihio rival. But this is likely to be ffset when the forces behind Mr. derrick get to work. A strong influence favoring the former governor U his long standing friendship with (the president-elect, though the postdnaster general enjoys almost an equal measure of it. If the score of political iebt counts for anything there Is something coming to Mr. Herrick from Mr. Taft. It will be remembered that Mr. Taft once caused the defeat of the former governor, when the latter was seeking re-election to the governorship of the Buckeye state. That Is a matter of political history, and whatever Mr. Taft may do to make amends must be judged in the light of repayment for standing debt. 5 Herrick a Taft Victim. I When Mr. Taft in the gubernatorial campaign of 1906 went to Akron, O., and delivered a verbal assault on machine politics, with "Boss" Cox, of Cincinnati, as his particular object, he tmay not have forseen the conse'ouences. Anyway, many, stalwart Ohio voters took the cue,' and the result was that Governor Herrick tasted defeat at the hands of his democratic rival, the late Governor Pattison. It would not be remarkable, therefore, if Mr. Taft, by naming Mr. Herrick for the important treasury portfolio, seized this opportunity to heal an old und. If he did, the president-elect ould justly be commended for selecting a man who could fill the bill with entire satisfaction. Mr. Herrick has had - considerable experience as a banker fa Ohio and his stewardship f the treasury department doubtless would show ability in no sense inferior to that of any of his predecessors In that office. When the availability of Mr. Meyer jfor the treasury berth is discussed Jhis administration of the post office department, one of Uncle Sam's most important workshops, must be considered. To say that be has conducted his department wisely, economically and progressively is hardly enough credit to Mr. Meyer. Former first assistant postmaster general, now republican national chairman, Frank Hitchcock, once liked to hear it said that he was "the real official head of the post office department," but this has been convincingly disproved since he left the department, for business methods have continued under Mr. Meyer. Mr. Taft knows all this, and the has 'been mightily impressed by khe postmaster general's efficient rec ord. On this record alone, Mr. Meyer, Ei the opinion of bis friends, is entled to a place In the councils of the ft administration. ' Meyer's Friends Not Idle. While former , Governor Herrick's friends have been quietly active in his 'behalf, Mr. Meyer's well-wishers have not been idle. Senator Lodge, whose etose-relations with President Roosevelt and Mr. Taft are well known, has (hist paid a visit to Augusta to urge Wpon the president-elect the desirabilSty ef retaining Mr. Meyer in public if. Whether Senator Lodge spoke 'of him for the treasury portfolio or for torn important ambassadorship is itiot yet definitely known, but whatever were his representations they are likely to go far toward convincing Mr. Taft. "If this nut should prove too bard for the president-elect to crack it is likely taat Senator Crane, ; of Massachusetts, will be called upon to do a bit of political mollifying. The junior Bay State senator has earned some thing of a reputation as a mollifier ' end his good offices could no dobut be obtained in this Instance. He Is known to, differ somewhat with his colleague as to Mr. Meyer's fitness for the treasury portfolio, preferring, it is said, that his fellow New Englander should re-enter the diplomatic service. " Even though Mr. Meyer should be disappointed in his cabinet aspirations he likely would be offered an ambassadorial post. Just what post does not appear at this time, unless it be ia successor to Whitelaw Reid, present Ambassador to England. ..whose retirement has been persistently rum ored. Mr. Meyer's diplomatic service ' was of the sort to give him the pref erence should any important vacancy i occur. Ills excellent record ot the

Italian court is well remembered, for there he displayed ! ability and tact that did much to strengthen the present cordial relations between that country and the United States.

At a class meeting yesterday Cornelia Shaw. Nell Buell, Mildred Lamb, Edward Laning. Chauncey Edgerton and Lawrence Peterson were chosen to arrange for the exercises. The committee will make an effort to have an excellent 'program. The basket ball boys at a meeting Wednesday noon elected Frank' Metzger captain of the Garfield team. This team chosen from the boys who play basket ball regularly at Garfield, will meet outside teams. It will play the High school freshmau team as a curtain raiser to the High school-Hagers-town game at the Y. M. C. A. Saturday evening. January 19 has been chosen as the date for the evening conference between patrons, pupils and teachers. The committee in charge of the event has its plans well under way. The Garfield orchestra and a class chorus will furnish the music. The close of the fourth month finds the work very satisfactory at Garfield. The crusade against pupils who were inclined to slight their work has been effective, and many are now trying to recover lost ground. From reports sent in by the ward schools the 7B class is unusually large. This will crowd Garfield to its capacity at the opening of the second term. The pupils who arc to enter have already been asked to decide what course they will take in Garfield. Many little lives have been saved by Foley's Honey and Tar, for coughs, colds, croup and whooping cough.

"Speaking of queer things in football," said an old player, "I recall a game that was played at Annapolis some years ago between Columbia and the Naval academy teams. . "One of the men on the Columbia team, the quarterback and a very prominent player of the year, started the game in good condition, but after part of the first half he was kicked In the head In one scrimmage. It took some time to get him around, but he suddenly arose and gave a signal. 1 The two teams lined up and play went right on. "This man went through the game, and no one noticed that anything was wrong with him. When the game waa over and the Columbia team was on the way back to New York in the train this player, who had appeared to be in a brown study, suddenly turned to the man next to him and asked, 'Who won the game what was the score? and a number of other questions that made it seem as if he hadn't been anywhere near the field of play. "The players were greatly surprised and thought perhaps the kick In the bead had hurt the man so that his mind was affected. Later they learned that he was unable to tell what happened from the moment he got the kick in the head until the time he recovered consciousness, so to speak, on the train. "His playing of quarterback and his giving of signals had been entirely au tomatic, or, rather, subconscious. That case was referred to frequently in the psychology courses at Columbia, you may well imagine." New York Sun. There is no case on record of a cough, cold or la grippe developing into pneumonia after Foley's Honey and Tar has been taken, as it cures the most obstinate deep seated coughs and colds.

VOTE COHFIBEiiCE GIVEN WATSOII

Senate Pays Tribute to Congressman by Confirming Blakely's Appointment. ECHO OF POLITICAL FIGHT. BLAK ELY AGAIN CHOSEN FACTORY INSPECTOR YESTERDAY BY STRICTLY PARTISAN VOTE IN THE SENATE. Palladium Bureau. Indianapolis. Jan. 9. By voting yesterday to confirm the appointment of William E. Blakely as State Factory Inspector, the republican majority of the senate gave James E. Watson a vote of confidence. It will be remembered that Blakely was appointed by Governor Hanly at the earnest request of Watson, and that the appointment caused Watson some trouble in the recent campaign, when he was defeated for Governor. ' Blakely was a manufacturer at Shelbyville and Is said to have been prominent in some kind of a commercial or manufacturers organization which organized labor considered un friendly to its interests. When Wat son was first a candidate for Congress, Blakely assisted him in many ways. While making his canvass of. the dis trict, Watson was a frequent guest at Blakely's home. They were fast friends. Blakely Political Issue. Watson was elected to Congress. In Juhe, 1907, the term of David H. McAbee, as State Factory Inspector, ex pired, and Blakely wanted the place. Watson went to Governor Hanly and asked him as a personal favor to ap point Blakely to succeed McAbee. It was purely a personal request, and Governor Hanly granted it and gave Blakely the place. Immediately the storm broke over Watson. Organized labor denounced him for recommend ing the appointment and even went so far as to take the matter into, the campaign and used it to show that Watson should not be elected Govern or. McAbee was a member of the G A. R., and this organization got an ax out for Hanly and for Watson, because the G. A. R. wished McAbee continued in office. Was a True Friend. Watson, during the campaign, as sumed full responsibility for the ap' pointment of Blakely and explained in his speeches that he made the recom mendation because Blakely was one of the best friends he ever had a friend at a time when he needed friends and he did . not express any regret at making the recommendation. It was expected that Governor Han ly would send the appointment of Blakely to the Senate for confirmation at the special session last fall, but it did not reach that body until yester day. It was put to a vote and the ap pointment was confirmed, all Republicans voting for it and all Democrats voting against it. A Religious Author's Statement. For several years I was afflicted with kidney trouble and last winter I was suddenly stricken with a severe pain in my kidneys and was confined to bed eight days, unable to get up without assistance. My urine con tained a thick white sediment and I passed same frequently day and night. I commenced taking Foley's Kidney Remedy, and the pain gradually abat ed and finally ceased and my urine became normal. I cheerfully recommend Foley's Kidney Remedy. A. G. Luken & Co. COLLEGE NICKNAMES. " Seme Popular With the Students Ob jeetion Made to Othors. ' Some of the colleges have a great dislike to the way in which they are referred to commonly in connection with athletics. For instance, Wes leyan men don't like to be called "the Methodists," as they appear sometimes, At the Naval academy there is strong prejudice against being called "Annapolis." The navy men aren't particularly fond of "midshipmen. They believe the proper name for their institution is "the navy." Columbia has a great distaste for the name of "Columbians" for their representatives iu athletics or other public appearances. At the University of Chicago there is a dislike of the name "Chicago university," sometimes ap plied. Although not so strongly opposed to it, students t Pennsylvania do not like the full title "University of Pennsyl vania" as we'l as plain "Pennsylva nia." "Penn" is preferred to either. I f o f-kr" fr,r- fhifoirn man "Cnnhan' for Minnesota, "Badgers" for Wis consin students, "Cornhuskers" for Ne braska, "Wolverenes" for Michigan, "lllini" for the men of Illincis all are names that are popular at those col leges and are used by the men there in speaking of their own teams. In deed, to a man unacquainted with nicknames the average statement re garding a conference college is puzzling because of the almost entire lack of straightout names. New York Sun; """ . OIHawaif anTtho RatT Rats and mice troubled the ancient as they do the modern dwellers in the Hawaiian Islands. Menxies and his party from Vancouver's ships, who as cended Mount HualalaL on the island of Hawaii, were greatly annoyed by these rodents in the hut where they passed a night. To reduce the number of the disagreeable animals the Ha waiian used a small bow and very light arrow; How early they Invented the bow and arrow is not known, but they do not seem to have made use of this weapon in their wars. ,

WO TOPICS OF PRESENT IMPORTANCE

Two of the most important topics of present conversation are. who will be our next president, and Root Juice, but Root Juice seems to have the advantage, and why not? Personal health is and should be one of the greatest considerations of life, and as so many local people are praising the new remedy. Root Juice, it is not surprising that so many of th afflicted people of this county are so eager to talk about it and get all of the information they can in relation to the many remarkable cures It has made and Is making. It invariably proves a great and agreeable surprise to weak, nervous, dyspeptic, consti pated people, for after using it for a short while the soothing, heiing and tonic properties of the wonderful rem edy removes irritated and sore conditions from the linings of the stomach, bowels and bladder, heals and strengthens the liver and kidneys to healthy action, resulting 1n a good appetite, food well digested, bowels regular, good, rich blood, free from rheumatic poison and it soon nourishes and strengthens the whole nervous system. The people at the drug store are proud of the wonderful mer its of Root Juice, and gladly tell all interested of much of the great good it is doing here. A. G. Luken &. Co's drug store. RAILROAD STORIES, The Man Who Paid the Conductor and the Nam on the Ticket. An old time traveling man was talk ing of experiences of former days on the road. "Frequently," said this trav eler, "I journeyed to Cincinnati. The fare trom my city to that place was then about $3.25. I saved something by handing the conductor $2 in cash. One day there was an excursion, and I bought a round trip ticket for $1.25 or $1.50 I've forgotten the exact amount, but that circumstance need not cripple this story. When I handed this ticket to the conductor as he tore off the return coupon be looked at me and in a voice betraying bow deeply he was hurt be remarked, 'My young friend, don't you know that I can afford to haul you much cheaper .than this company can?' "On another occasion, when in Chi cago, a colored man met me at the entrance of the station, asked me where I was going and offered to sell me a ticket for $1. The ticket was to Louis ville, but I was only ginny to Indian apolis. Cheap enough. "When the conductor came along to take up my ticket he asked me my name. It was usual to write one's name on the ticket in the presence of the conductor. I told him my name was on the ticket. He grinned as he handed it back and asked me to look at it and say if that was my name. I looked. The name on the ticket was 'Mary Flaherty.' He grinned again, somewhat sarcastically, but he took the ticket."-Pittsburg Press. SNORING. One of the Evils Wo Acquire With Cm- Civilization. - It is a truism that no one ever heard of a snoring savage. In fact, if the wild man of the woods and plains does not sleep quietly he runs the risk of being discovered by his enemy, and the scalp of the snorer would soon adorn the belt of bis crafty and more quietly sleeping adversary. With civilization, however, " we have changed all this. The impure air of our sleep ing rooms induces all manner of ca tarrhal affections. The nasal passages are the first to become affected. In stead of warming the inspired air on its way to the lungs and removing from it the dangerous impurities with which it is loaded the nose becomes obstructed. A part of the air enters and escapes by the mouth. The veil of the palate vibrates between the two currents that through the mouth and the one still passing through the partially closed nostrils like a torn sail in the wind. The snore, then, means that the sleeper's mouth is partially open, that his nose .Is partially closed and that his lungs are in danger from the air not being properly warmed and purified. From the continued operation of these causes the increase of impure air iq sleeping rooms and permitting habitual snorers to escape killing and scalping some scientist has predicted that in the future all men (and all women, too) will snore. It goes along with decay of the teeth and baldness. Health. Natural Kindness. - At an out of the way railroad junction a traveler found himself hungry, but with only two minutes to spare before his train left "I'll take a cup of coffee," he said to the young woman in charge of the restaurant. "I've no time for anything else." "You can take all the time you want, sir," said the young woman cordially. "You look at this bill of fare, and I'll telephone to the superintendent to delay the train a little while." "Why, can that be doner asked the traveler in a maxement. "Certainly," said the young woman. "Of course It can. It's a branch road and no other train , coming or going over It today, and the superintendent would want you to have a good meal. He owns this restaurant." Youth's Companion. ' The Influence ef Bath. Is there any town in the world that has so imposed Itself as much as Bath upon the life and language of tbe nation? For some there are Bath buns, for others Bath Olivers, and tbe militant ladies who find the buns too soft may throw Bath bricks at office or other windows if they disapprove of the Bath chaps. When we become infirm it is the Bath chair we seek. And that "thousand years" of the middle ages "without a bath" seems now horrible. London Chronicle.

THE DOCTORS. Tributo to tho Nobility of tho ModicaJ Profession. To enter the medical profession is to find oneself in most noble company. When Dante was led by Virgil into the presence of "the master of them that know" he saw Aristotle surrounded by a group of the sages of antiquity. Look at them as they are introduced one by one. and you will see that a fourth ot them bear names illustrious in medicine. To take note of but one Hippocrates is there. The stndent will not turn to his pages now te learn what has to be taught in modern text books or class rooms. Yet he will do well to lay to heart the spirit that guided "the father of medicine" in drawing up the oath imposed on the students of tbe Hlppocratic school. "With purity and with holiness," the candidate was made to swear, "I will pass my life and practice my art. Into whatever

houses I enter I will go into them for tbe benefit of the sick, will abstain from every voluntary act ef mischief and corruption." In the long succession of those who have enlarged tbe bounds of bis science tbe student will meet with a great army of men who have kept the spirit of that oath under higher sanctions than were open to the pioneers whom tbe mediaeval poet consigns to a place in his Inferno because, though blameless of sin, they had not been baptized. Sir Alexander Simpson in London Quiver. Tho Old Egg. "New York Is no longer young and unsophisticated," said a man who has visited all the old world capitals. "She has now all the weariness and vice of Paris, London and Rome. They who still speak of New York as young, childish, innocent, remind me of Lord Exe of the Carlton. "Lord Exe, at seventy, tried to lead the life of a youth of twenty-five. He dyed his hair, wore a corset and frequented tbe music halls, Piccadilly circus and the Burlington arcade. One afternoon as he drove from the Carlton in his brougham a member said, smiling: " 'There goes Exe. He told me over a whisky and soda just now that be felt as fresh as a two-year-old. "Another member sneered. " 'He probably meant a two-year-old egg,' he murmured." New York Sun. Hugo and Merimee. It Is probable that with the exception of Byron no great literary genius ever was greeted with such a storm of vilification and abuse as Victor Hugo when he published "Les Miserables." While the book took the public literally off their feet, almost all Hugo's rivals united in condemning it and its author. Prosper Merimee wrote in reference to a dinner given to Hugo at Brussels: "Have you read Victor Hugo's speech at the dinner given to him by Belgian librarians and other scoundrels of Brussels? His statements were without depth, solidity or common sense. He is a man who intoxicates himself jrlth words and does not take the trouble to think." Victor Hugo retorted by writing to a friend, "M. Merimee is a man naturally vile." As the Twig Is Bent. "I hope you were a good little boy while at you aunt's and didn't tell any stories," said his mother. "Only the one you put me up to, ma," replied her young hopeful. "Why, what do you mean, child?" "When she asked me If I'd like to have a second piece of cake I said, 'No, thank you; I've had enough.'" Harper's Weekly.
