WHAT MR. HEARST IS SAYING
. .T5
. 2.25

Democrats have little cau*e to com
pit la of tte course Mr. Hearst Is taking
says the Salt Lake Tribune, tie h?s
done more for the party than the
party haa done for him And
when be attacks Bryan he Is proceed
lag legitimately, lie ha? opportuni
ties to know.
And the mac Is not c mllnln? himself
to attacks on Bryan. In the course of
his campaign he lashes out at the vul?
erable spots In any army to which he
Is opposed. Re hss provided the Bry?n
defenders with enough charges to en
gross their attention to the end of the
oampalgu. Not for many months will
tbere be opportunity to explain the
proved charge that Bryan called cer
taln labor men "publ.c beggars." It
will not do for Bryan to point to bis
record. They are pointing to that
incident IN bis record. And it hurts
bim.
When he turns his guns against the
republicans, he !s equally supported?
so far? with the proof. Here is his
charge that Senator Foraker was a
paid attorney of the Standard Oil
people. Mr. Foraker, oo reading a re
port of the Hearst charges, admitted
be bad taken fees from the Standard
io legal matters coDtlned to the state
of Ohio: but that he never received
retainers for services in congress. And
then Hearst reads other letters that
show that the senator took money
while a senator, and directly for serv
ices in connection with bills before
cong'-eas.
A man can not properly do that sort
of thing. It is a surprise to General
Foraker's friends to know that he did
to. But it is a matter personal to bim.
Bis partv can not be condemned on that
charge any more than Bryan can involve
the whole of democracy because he
applied the term "beggars " to labor
union men.
If Mr. Foraker served the Standard
for hire while a senator, and that
service was in reference to bills
before congrcss or the departments,
he did wrong. And the burden will
lie upon him alone? and upon the
Standard.
The republican party does not con
done unlawful acts. And neither Mr.
Hearst nor anyone else la Injuring the
republican party by revealing individu
al error. Men who sin have to pav the
penalty themselves. For, according to
the astute Mr. Kipling:
"Toe race is run by one and one?
Anl never by two and two,"
HOW LONG WILL IMPROVEMENT US!?
So eminent un authority in the finan
cial world as Henry Clews frankly ad
mits that, tariff revision is due and
would be beneficial to business. In his
latest letter be says:
"The first question to bo asked is bow
long will this improvement last in view
of the fact that the country will shortly
be precipitated into a sharp taritT ag:
tation, both parties beiog pledged to
revision. Tariff changes are always un
settling: the uncertainty as to what
will be done usually being a more ser
ious matter than the actual changes.
Fortunately, the country is in some
respects better able to stand tariff dis
cussion than ever before. The taritT in
many instances is so high that a moder
ate reduction would do little or no harm
to home interests. au.l would increase
the national revenue. In other casrs
our manufacturers would be positively
benefited by a reduction of the taritT on
their raw materials. The most likely
point of attack is the steel taritT; but
there is an ample margin hare, and our
steel industry is so well fortified by su
perior methods and low costs of produc
tion that its future will not be seriously
endangered by any well considered re
duction. Whether the campaign against
corporations will be conducted as ag
gressively as heretofore, or not, is an
open question. Alreaay there has been
a decided reaction in public opinion in
tbii respect, and the feeling that the
country needs a reat from this sort of
agitation i* steadily saining ground.
At soon as the presidential election Is
over, the anti-corporation policy will
not be so much 1c demand as a political
Issiu .
The total value of precious stones
produced In the United States duriug
1907 Is placed by the geological survey
at $47 l,30o, as compared with $204,000
In 190<i. This great increase Is due
chiefly to a large output of sapphire In
Montana, of both the blue and the
variegated variety. A uew gem min
eral has been added to the list of known
precious stones. It is called "benito
ite," has a blue color ncd a high reflec
tive index, and Is fouud in North Caro
lina. According to reports that for two
years have been coming out of the
Nome country, Alaska will soon add
materially to the value of the product in
precious stones. 1
The city of Seattle is expending SI,
172,000 in the construction of an ad
ditional pipe line which will supply the
city with water fresh from the moun
tains. This pipe line will double the
capacity of the present water supply
aod will be available next summer.

Almost Covered with Eczema? No
Night's Rest for Nearly a Year
Feared Lifelong Disfigurement
All Treatments Failed and Limit

PERFECT RECOVERY
IS DUE TO CUT1CURA
- "With the preoption of his hands and
feet, my son Clyde (thirteen yours old)
was almost completely covered with
eczema. Physicians treated him for
nearly a year without helping him any.
While they were very kind and did all in
their power, yet nothing seemed to re
lieve him. And I had tried many rem
edies sent to me by kind friends but they
all failed. His head, face, and neck were
covered with large scabs which he would
rub until they fell off. Then blood and
matter would run out and that would bo
worse. Many a time he looked as if
his ears would drop off. Friends com
ing to see him said that if he got well he
would be disfigured for life.
" When it seemed as if ho could pos
Bibly stand it no longer, I decided to
try Cuticura. I bought a cake of Cuti
cura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment,
and a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent. I
used them in tho evening and that was
the first night for nearly a year that ho
slept. This may sound exaggerated
to you, but in tho morning there was a
jjreat change for tho better. In about
six weeks you could not have told that
he had ever had anything wrong with hiin.
I treated him twice a day for six months
and at present ho has a fine complexion
and not a scar on his body. This story
may seem overdrawn, but neither words
nor pen can describe Clyde's suffering
and now ho looked. Our leading phy
sician, Dr. , recommends the Cuti
cura Hemedies for eczema. Mrs. Algy
