I believe that the public is entitled to know that if, f ^ 'a^ard of service, and at a fair price, and that the corporation nu kts r lair bi si ess profit. I feel that the PUBLIC IS ALSO ENTITLED TO A^r/TRAILS THAT ITS LIFE, HEALTH AND PROP­ ERTY ARE SAFEGUARDED IN THE UTMOST DEGREE. I believe that the public and employees of the company are entited to know that ev­ ery possible safeguard is thrown about the life and health of the employees. I believe in a fair working out of Employer's Liability. I believe in putting the burden of TAXATION ON THE SHOULDERS OF THE PEOPLE WHO CAN BEST AFFORD TO BEAR IT, and who get the mcst benefit fro™ the stability which this government offers to income and capital. I believe in an Income Tax exempting moderate incomes, and one in which the ratio of taxation--when the income is enjoyed by a private indi­ vidual--increases as the income itself increases in size. I believe in an Inherit­ ance Tax exempting moderate inheritances, but one in which the ratio of tax­ ation increases as the size of the inheritance itself increases. I believe in the conservation of all the national and state resources for the benefit of all the people. I BELIEVE IN PROTECTION, BUT I BELIEVE IN PBOTECTION THAT REDUCES, AS FAR AS POSSIBLE, THE COST OF THE CHEAPER ARTICLES that are liecessarily consumed by the poorer people and, if addi­ tional revenue must be raised from this source, that the tax on the LUXUR­ IES THAT ARE ENJOYED BY THE RICHER PEOPLE BE MADE TO STAND SUCH INCREASES, as far as possible. I believe in the principle advocated by President Taft when he caused the present Tariff Commission to be established. After this body has had an opportunity to gather its facts, this country, for the first time, will be able to approach tariff legislation from a fair and scientific standpoint and, for the first time, the schedules will be framed in the interest of the ultimate consumer, as well as in the interest of the producers. Heretofore no one has ever been heard on a tariff schedule excepting the producer. I believe in the integrity and ability of President Taft. I am NOT for Joseph G. Cannon for Speaker. To sum up my platform in one sentence, I AM A "PROGRESSIVE" REPUBLICAN AND BELIEVE IN THE POLICIES OF THEODORE ROOSEVELT, NAMELY, "A SQUARE DEAL FOR EVERYBODY." IRA C.

I think thrtt Theml^r** &)ocwv«lt might honorably nrcttpt the presidential nofni- 'iHtion <>f tlie Repnhiican party in 1912 Some may n:ty that the en*toin fo» mm uian to hol«l the office of prt*»idfln» for only two t^riun ahonltl not be broken. CiiHtoms ha*H Imvmi broken before, why obonM^hey not, be broken again? IfaairitM, I think that no cantom it- oroken if Theodore Roosevelt shonld accept, the nomination again. He never lias been uouiinated for president bnt •lie" end that, was in the fall of 1908 He lirst became president. an vice preai • lent. up.«n the death of McKinley in IIMM. He wa« elected to that office by the largest majority of votea in the electoral college of any president since 1872. So he never nerved bat one fall term. Hi* first term was only three years in length Our first preetdent, George Washing­ ton, began the custom of only two pre® 'dential terms ami all the other preai dents since his time have kept that ous torn. Washington might have served the third term bad his enemies left him alone. While lie was in office forged letters were written about him, aeons ing him of drawing more salary than was dne hi ill and of doing various other things. Newspaper attacks worried him. So he was tired of office before his second term was over, Grant wanted to be president for a third time, but did not get the nomina tion. If he had been as popnlar as Roosevelt he wonld probably have been nominated for the third term Is there auy dishonor in a man's hold ing the office of president for the third teruiY Never before has it been die hiiuOrnblo, Why ouGuld it u€ SG uun I Xt is true that never before has one man been president for a third term. Bnt never before has there been a man so well liked by the people that they want­ ed him for a third time. One argament against Theodore Roosevelt again becoming president is that it will make the government like a monarchy, that the attitnde of the peo­ ple will te idolatrous, that the liberty of the people will be endangered. Certainly a man like Roosevelt, who stands for a square deal to all alike, wonld never exercise monarchial power over the poeple. Even if he were dis posed to do so he con id not. The laws of the United States restrict his power so that he never could become absolute in authority. If there is danger of his becoming des­ potic would the people want him? hardly think so. One of the causes of the Revolutionary war was the dislike of monarchy. American people have always been against a monarchial form of government. Over the whole United States the cry now Is "Roosevelt for president in 1912." Wonld the people want him if it was dishonorable for him to accept the next nomination? In the newspapers we see from time to time articles printed warning the people against Roosevelt or calling for him-for oar next president. Many of those who object to him know of his ability for bringing to justice evil doers and so fear the potency of the square deal. I think that Roosevelt might advan­ tageously again become president- Not because it wonld profit him any, but be cause it would be of a great gain to the nation to secure his services once more. Ever since Roosevelt first started in the field of politics he has made himself noted for reforms, unearthing graft and for straightening out political difficul­ ties. First, in the New York legisla tare, when the question of a reduction of railroad fare came up, he showed to the people that he gave a square deal to all alike. When police commissioner of New York C'ity he enforced the laws on the statute books, got rid of ail incom­ petent policemen and restored peace and order in that city The number of crimes was greatly lessened while he was at the bead of the police force. When James G. Blaine was candi­ date for the Republican nomination Roosevelt did not approve of him for president. Many of the Republican party, rather than support him, voted for a Democratic nominee. But Roose­ velt did not turn against his party, even tho he did not like their candidate, but remained true to it. Thus it is seen that ftooeevelt will re­ main true to his party. He helped bring about the civil ser­ vice reform and as civil Service commis­ sioner saw that it was enforced, thus saving new presidents a great deal of trouble in appointing officers. By this reform incompetent office seekers were kept out of office. Rooeevelt, like Lincoln, understands human nature. If he sees that a man is opposed to his ideas be makes friends with hie opponent and then by argu­ ments that do not directly oppose the other's ideas he gradually convinces the person that his side of the question is wrong and so gains his support. When Roosevelt was president of the United HtaNw be wm one of tb# best that the nation ever had. He made re­ forms, unearthed graft and bronght corporations to justice. What the na tion needs is a man who can carry ont the great work b -gnn by Roosevelt Who can better do this than the man who begM?) it ? Our government is full of corruption. Men who are unMcrtipnloas fiH many of the public offices. What we need is & man who can straighten out this diffi cnlty. One who does right because i^ is right and does not fear the consequence. Such a man is Roosevelt. In 1902, when the coal miners of Pennsylvania were on a strike, coal be came very scarce and in a short time there would have been a coal famine. Something had to be done to settle the strike. It was the needs of a great number of peopie against a few. The governors and leading men of several states wrote to Roosevelt begging him to settle the strike. So he decided to settle it in favor of the miners. When he did this he believed that he had made an eternal enemy of capital. He thought all hopes of his agaiu becoming president were gohe, but he did not hesitate to do what was right. When the desires of the people conflict with his own wishes he will decide in favor of the people, even tho he sacrifices his owA plans. The general impression seems to be that the Taft administration is not go­ ing to be a very successful one. Presi­ dent Taft does not seem able to carry on the work bequeathed him by Rooee­ velt and is growing unpopular on ac* count of it. The Boston Herald seems to think that he is being made to bear 4U T> - --. L : 1 IUO B1UD Ul tUQ HVpUUUUlU |M»i t J , WU1IV the Boston Transcript, a staunch Re­ publican paper, admits that Mr. Taft is unpopular today and must gain some new grip on the American people if he is to be re-elected. The Republican party needs him. Many think that without him as the Republican candidate in 1912 the party now in power will be defeated. Cer tainly, with an unpopular and not over ly successful Republican president the chances for success will be greatly less ened. With a popular candidate the Republicans may look for success. Theodore Rooeevelt is the most uni­ versally liked man in the United States today. He is the one man who should be the candidate. He tries one thing at a time and so accomplishes whatever he attempts. He has a natural desire to kill and destroy. A man who has a desire to d«stroy and uproot trusts, corruption and evil doing corporations is the kind of a man that we need for president. Surely the nation would be no worse off with less graft going on. Possibly it might be benefitted. But whether he will accept the nomi­ nation or not no one knows. We all hope that he will. The Best Hour of Life is when you do some great deed or dls* cover some wonderful fact. This hour came to J. R. Pitt, of Rocky Mt., N. (3. when he was suffering intensely, as he says," from the worst cold I ever had. I then proved to my great satisfaction, what a wonderful Cold and Cough oure Dr. King's New Discovery is, for after taking one bottle, I was entirely cured. You can t say anything too good of a medicine like that." It's the surest and best remedy for diseased lnngs, Hemor- i hages, LaGrippe, Asthma, Hay Fever any Throat or lung Trouble. 50c. fl.00.

What is perhaps the finest pearl yet found in the Fox river was on exhibi­ tion in Elgin last week and when sold will bring close to $2,000. This pearl is a pear shaped one, weighing thirty and one half grains, white in color with the sky blue tint essential to the perfect pearl. The lucky finder of this gem is G. H. Bernard, who lives at Sheridan, on the Fox river below Aurora. Mr. Ber­ nard had heard of the wonderful stor­ ies of finding pearls in the Fox river near Elgin and spent several weeks at the task of clam hunting there with no success. He then returned home and fished the river at that point for clams. Aft­ er a week's effort be found the large pearl which will well repay him for all efforts. The pearl was found to weigh over thirty grains. Mr. Bernard refnsed an offer of $1,500 for the gem. He believes that he will be able to sell the pearl for |2,000. Not only hundreds of residt nts of this vicinity are putting in their spare time in pearl fishing, but professional pearl hunters from aa far east as New York city and as far south as New^ Orleans are flocking to the Fox river in search of the valuable pearls bidden in the bed ol that rtmu*. Bayer* pf tbe precious stones say that those taken from the Fox are the best that are to be had and it is bm*aunc of t"6 eHOriiiOun pfiews that are being paid for the stones that the hunters are coming from far away. George H. Montague, who has made a fortune in pearls, arrived with two men last week from New York city. They are to begin at Oswego and search the river bed as far sonth as Ottawa for pearls, living in tents on the river bank. William Morgan and George Henderson are the two New Orleans men who ar rived also to spend the summer search­ ing for pearls. Buyer* of pearls from all sections of the country have talked Fox river pearls so much that, the little stream is becom ing famous. Hardly a day passes but wh&t someone picks np a stone that rs worth all of tbe way from $l<)0to$l,0<i0. And the purchasers are pleutiful. every big pearl dealing company in the United States having personal representatives who visit towns along the river once every month or else hny stones throngh jewelry stores and bauks in Aurora an * the towns south along the river. John Edwards of Elgin found a pearl last week weighing thirty one grains and sold it to a Muscatine buyer for $1,100. The following day Joe Ness, an employe or the Lyon Metallic company at Montgomery, found one weighing twenty four grains and sold it for $NtM) Two othe" searchers, who are working in partnership near Piano, sold one Sat urday last for $850 J. M. Johnson of Leland is one of the heaviest buyers and says that there are more stones being found this summer than ever before. There are no doubt hundreds of these precious stones lying in the bed of Fox river right at our very door, bnt thns far the McHenry people have not ac quired the pearl searching craze. Life on Panama Canal has had one frightful drawback-malaria trouble that hus brought suffering and death to thousands^ The germs cause chills, fever and agne, biliousness, jaun­ dice, lassitude, weakness and general debility. But Electric Bitters never fail to destroy them and cure malaria troub­ les. "Three bottles completely cured me of a very severe attack of malaria," writes Wm. A. Fret well, of Lncama, N.
