REGISTER KICKS OVER THE STIIIGY E s American People Do Not Favor Move of Congress in Cutting Off Traveling Expenses Of Taft. PRESIDENT DOES NOT HAVE PRIVATE INCOME Roosevelt Could Afford the Heavy Expenses of the Office Because He Was a Wealthy Man. By Sheldon S. Cline. Washington, April 9.

recttons. For instance, protests are

soaring In against the cutting off of the $25,000 a year formerly allowed the president for traveling expenses. When at the last session of congress the presidential salary was increased from 150.000 to 975,000, the travelling expense Item of $25,000 was cut out. . The argument in favor of increasing the salary of the president was that not only had the cost of living increased since 1S73, when the salary of $50,000 a year was fixed, but that the social demands upon the president called for a much heavier expenditure. It is teue that President Roosevelt did not in any year use all the $25,000 appropriated for travelling expenses, but it is popularly supposed that he used much more than his official salary in maintaining the white house. Mr. Roosevelt could afford to do this, because he had a moderately large private fortune and derived a considerable income from his books. No Private Fortune. But Mr. Taft has no private fortune and unless there is to be continuous choose-paring at the white house a good part of the additional $25,000 salary will have to go toward paying living and entertaining expenses. Whatever travelling the president "uoes and it costs money for the pres ident to travel wjll have to be paid for out of whatever is left of his salary, so that unless Mr. Taft sticks pretty close to home he Is going to have a hard time making ends meet, with practically no chance to lay aside anything against the day of retirement. Now, the people doesn't want the president to stay at home. They want him to travel, because they want to see him. Their wish exactly coincides with that of the president, but it would be rather too much to expect that Mr. Taft should be willing that the young Tafts go without shoes, and school books in order to gratify this mutual desire. At least the people seem to see it in this light and members of congress are being flooded with communications from their constituents demanding that the $25,000 for traveling expenses be restored. This is likely to be done at the regular session next winter. Action would be probable at the extra session were it not for the fact that the house appropriations committee has not been appointed. Even this may not stand in the way, for a precedent was established wben the census bill was brought into the house and passed without the census committee having been named. Test Necessary. Whether it would be possible to pass through the house a bill granting the president $25,000 for travelling expenses only a test would tell. It will be recalled that there was strong opposition to increasing the president's salary and the house only consented to this on condition that the lump sum for travelling expenses be dropped. Some of the unfairest arguments ever heard in congress were used in opposition to increasing the presidential salary. A table was produced showing that appropriations on account of the president already were in the neighborhood of a Quarter of a million dollars. In this table were included the cost of the upkeep of the white house and grounds, the salaries of clerks employed in the executive of fices, and even of the policemen de tailed for duty at the white house. It was pointed out by those supporting the salary increase the cost of run ning the capitol might as well be divided by 483 and the result charged up as an addition to the salary of each senator and representative. Chicago claims the distinction of being the mail order center of the universe, and some recent figures from the postoffice there would seem to establish the right to the honor. One of the biggest mail order houses recently broke all postal records by mailing 6,000,000 catalogues, each weighing two ounces the whole weighng 450 tons. The sacks holding the catalogues weighed 65 tons. If these pamphlets had been sent on one train thirty cars would have been filled. DESCHLER CO, Ind. Distributors, -

A UNIQUE RECORD. Not Another Like It in Our Broad Republic. To give positive home testimony in every locality is of itself unanswera ble proof of merit; but when we add to this the continued endorsement from people who testified years ago, no evidence can be stronger. A Richmond citizen gratefully acknowledges the good received from Doan's Kidney Pills, and when time has tested the cure we find the same hearty endorsement, with added enthusiasm and continued praise. Cases of this kind are plentiful in the work of Doan's Kidney Puis, and such a record is unique in the annals of medicine. Martin Bulach, tailor, 433 S. Eleventh street, Richmond, Ind., says: "In the Spring of 1902, I suffered from a weak and lame back and other symn toms of kidney trouble. 'Learning of Doan's Kidney Pills, I procured a sup ply at A.

A CLOSE SHAVE,

Heretofore, nothing has been said in these columns about poslam, a new skin discovery, In connection with Its use after shav ing. Its publicity and sales have been confined almost exclusively to "its re markable properties as an eczema cure; it stops the itching at once and cures the worst cases in a few days. While the application of poslam after shaving is one of its minor uses, such as for pimples, the complexion, etc., shavers, will find it a revelation, as it does for abrasions, roughness, and severe scrapings what it does for all manner of skin difficulties heals and cures in a few hours. It is the only article possessing real antiseptic and curative value that has ever been ex ploited for this purpose, and will soothe and tone up the skin as no toilet preparation could possibly do. Poslam can be had for fifty cents at any reliable druggist's, particularly W. II. Sudboff, who make a specialty of it. Or the Emergency Laboratories, No. 32 West 25th Street, New York City, will send a trial supply free by mail to any one who will write for it.

HUNDREDS WAIT T

GET LAST Thirsty Gary, Ind., Citizens Stand in Line for Farewell Quaffs. RUSH ENDS THIS MORNING LAST FIFTEEN SALOONS ARE NOW CLOSED. AFTER BARGAIN SALES AND "BOOZE WAKES' ARE FEATURED. Chicago. April 9. The spectacle of hundreds of thirsty residents standing in a line a block long to get a final drink at a popular bar was one of the unique incidents in connection with the closing of the fifteen remaining saloons of Gary, Ind. For several days the bartenders had been preparing for the "big night,' but at the Binzenhoff. conducted by Binzen Bros., the "knights of the white apron" had a hard time to serve customers fast enough. At first the customers were served as they crowded to the bar, but after a short time it was found necessary to use the same tactics employed during a rush for theater tickets. The Binzenhoff was the first bar In Gary, and it is said to have been one of the best paying places of the kind in Indiana. Sums as high as $1,000 have been frequently taken in during one day. and once $40,000 In checks were cashed by the proprietors to ac commodate the employes of the steel mills. Recall Many Kindnesses. It was because of the courtesy that had been shown them in cashing checks that actuated the men who stood in the long line to wait for one more quaff of their favorite brand of liquor. - At some of the saloons, bargain sales were conducted, liquor being sold at cost to old customers. What were termed "wakes" were held in all of the saloons, the "lid" being off so far as the observance of the usual closing hours were concerned. The licenses of the saloon proprietors real ly expired at midnight, but the police made no effort to stop the rush of cus tomers after that time. The last drinks were sold la the morning about 6 o'clock. Anti-Saloon Folks Make Coup. The closing of the saloons In the steel town Is a result of a remon strance filed with the Lake county commissioners a year ago. The Indi ana laws regulating saloons provide that a petition signed by ar majority of those who voted at the last election acts as a barrier to the sale of liquor for two years. At the time the petition was signed there were only 165 who had cast their ballots at the previous election, and when the anti-saloon workers made their rounds quietly they caught the liquor men unawares and before it was known even among business men the petition had been filed and there was recourse only in the courts. The liquor men started a suit when some of the saloons had to close following the expiration of the licenses. This case Is still pending in the -superior court at Hammond and a decision has been expected for several weeks. Even In the event that this decision is favorable, It Is not anticipated that there will be bars in Gary for, a year owing to the provisions of the state laws. The fifteen saloons which were clos ed by the expiration of the licenses had been enabled to remain open because the licenses had been secured only a few days before the filing of the petition of the voters. Up Before The Bar. N. H: Brown, an attorney, of Pittsfield, Vt., writes: "We have used Dr. King's New Life Pills for years and find them such a good family medicine we wouldn't be without them." For Chills, Constipation, Biliousness or Sick Headache they work wonders. S5c. A. G. Luken ft Co. The government owns over 92 per oent. of the railway mileage in Germany.
