Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright. 1908. by Edwin A.Nye

Harry E. New. Indiana member of the Republican national committee, 1b not in favor of presidential primaries. Stating bis position, Mr. New bas said: "My objections are numerous, among others being the fact tbat at present, at least, there is no law in most of the states under which primaries could be conducted under the proper legal safeguards. The method would be expensive, cumbersome and, in my judgment, no better calculated to obtain an expression of the views of the majority of the voters that might be had by a properly conducted convention. Those who are in favor of the presidential primary plan in states where statutes providing forsuch primaries have been passed and in states where action may still be taken in special legislative sessions and such action is still possible generally will be inclined to agree with at least a portion of Mr. New's statement. At present, just as Mr. New says, there is no law In most of the states under which primaries could be conducted with proper legal safeguards. The question of expense is, however, quite a different matter. Cost of providing a primary law is an argument commonly put forward by those opposed. The actual mathematics in the question has been examined by William Allen White, of the Emporia Gazette, with rather startling result. Kansas Is one of the states In which the presidential primary can only be put in effect by statute through, the holding of a special session of the legislature, just as in Indiana. The Gazette says: "The legislature can meet, pass the presidential primary law and adjourn, and cost the state about $20,000. The $20,000 cost of the legislature will be the only cost of a vote upon president. That would be 15 votes for a penny. Any penny-plncher who objects to paying one-fifteenth of a cent for the right to vote on president should not be considered. The enlightened element of the community is entitled to a vote in precedent at the price." All in all those who favor the presidential preference plan by statute will be inclined to agree with the statement of Senator William E. Borah, of Idaho, also a member of the Republican national committee, who has said: "I am in favor of holding a presidential primary in all states where it is possible under the election and primary laws to provide a proper registration of the vote and adequate safeguards against fraud." South Bend Tribune.

MORE MESSAGES TO BE SENT CONGRESS

At Least Six Communications Have Been Outlined by the President. (National News Association WASHINGTON, Dec. 11. Congress will do its part in initiating

the legislation which is to consume its time during the next six or eight months; but the white house has a definite and important program, and tlie president proposes to make the most of the one session yet remaining of his administration to put this program through. This is the last chance he will Lave to appeal to the lawmakers unless he should be re-elected, and he is preparing to propose egislation just as though he did not expect another term in the white house. He is not going to take any chances, but will urge that his pet measures be given full and final consideration between now and July next. While it is true that he will recommend many new laws and many amendments to old ones, it is easily seen that he has a greater interest in his anti-trust amendments, his arbitration treaties and his tariff

; programs than in all else combined, j They are the three policies of this i last year of the present administration. Only one of them is wholly

Now it is evident to the white house, as it is to the capitol, that the prohibitive law, as embodied in the Sherman act, should not only be enforced, but should be more specific

in its indictments, and that this act should be made to apply where the corporation tax and the federal char-; ters fail to meet the requirements of j

IS IT FAIR.? This Is a true story: A fanner's daughter, twenty-one, was teaching school some distance from ber home. She received word that, ber mother had broken down physically, and the doctors said she must have a long rest The daughter resigned her school work and went home to do the work of the household and nurse the mother. She made a great sacrifice. The girl was saving her money in order to take a college course. For three years this good girl has been the homemaker. She bas nursed her mother back from the verge of the grave. Her service and sacrifice have required all the strength she could summon. She bas labored on an average eighteen hours a day. Well, the mother is much better, but still is a semi-invalid. It may be a long time before she is completely restored. On the one hand, the daughter feels she ought to stay longer; on the other band, she feels that she owes

certain duties to herself. Now There is a brother twenty-one. In the three years since the daughter got home he bas attended agricultural college one year, he has a bank account of nearly $1,000, and now the father has taken him Into partnership, and hereafter he will get a full share of the

farm's earnings. The daughter bas had nothing. Having a pride in her own ability, she has purchased her clothes from ber own little savings. Is tbat fair? Neither the father nor the brother appears to appreciate the girl's great elf abnegation. They take it for granted she should do what she has done willingly and without pay. And Should the girl go away every one would eaclaim at ber "heartlessness and selfishness." But Is It air? Why should the girl be called upon to make all the sacrifice? Is It not sough that she should have given up for so long the realization of her cherished dreams? And hers Is one of several such cases that bare come under my personal attention. Is it fndr?

If there were no pride to our hearts we should nottcomplain of the pride of .hers.

titration, but he has absorved the tariff and the anti-trust measures and made them his own, insofar aa they are now before congress. From time to time the president will send in additional messages to congress; in fact, he already has at least six in mind, but they will be devoted entirely to special subjects. In his anti-trust program Mr. Taft has slightly reversed himself. For a long time, ever since the Standard Oil and tobacco decisions, to be difinite, he has regarded the present anti-trust law as sufficient for all needs both in protection to the general public and for the guidance of

A LITTLE DIAPEPSIfl ENDS INDIGESTION AND REGULATES SICK, SOUR, UPSET STOMACHS.

A little Diapepsin relieves bad Stomachs in five minutes. Ab there is often some one in your family who suffers an attack of Indigestion or some form of Stomach trouble, why don't you keep some Diapepsin in the house handy? This harmless blessing will digest anything you can eat without the slightest discomfort, and overcome a sour, gassy Stomach five minutes after. Tell your pharmacist to let you read the formula, plainly printed on these 50-cent cases of Pape's Diapepsin, then you will readily see why it makes Indigestion, Sour Stomach, Heartburn and other distress go In five minutes, and relieves at once such miseries as Belching of Gas, Eructations of sour, undigested food, Nausea, Head

aches, Dizziness, Constipation and other Stomach disorders. Some folks have tried so long to find relief from Indigestion and Dyspepsia or an out-of-door stomach with the common, every-day cures advertised that they have about made up their minds that they have something else wrong, or believe theirs is a case of Nervousness, Gastritis, Catarrh of the Stomach or Cancer. This, no doubt, is a serious mistake. Your real trouble is, what you eat does not digest; instead, it ferments and sours, turns to acid, Gas und Stomach poison, which purify in the digestive tract and intestines, and, besides, poison the breath with naeseous odors. A hearty appetite, with thorough digestion, and without the slightest discomfort or misery of the Stomach, is waiting for you as soon as you decide to try Pape's Diapepsin.
