Don’t Accept Claims
Here’s a Guarantee
Don’t take chances on Roofing, for
you can now have roofing insurance.
J-M Regal Roofing is absolutely guar
anteed against leaks due to defects in
the roofing.
And that guarantee is as good as a
government bond, for it’s signed by the
makers, a $3,000,000. (X) company.
J-M Regal Roofing
is made entirely in the Regal people’s
own mills. They know the quality of
every square inch of it. That's why
they can guarantee it. r
They make the wool felt-know that
it is the best quality, long-fibred wool.
They refine and process their own
asphalt—get it direct from I.ake Trini
dad. No man has yet found anything
else half as good for waterproofing.
So here is a roofing that is proof
against the broiling sun, against enow
and rain, freezing and thawing, the
oxygen in the air and the other things
which so soon ruin other wool felt roof
ings. J-M Regai. Roofing is also highly
fire-resisting.
Samples are free; also an interesting
book on roofing.

Mrs. Wickersham
Ardent Advocate
Of Preparedness
i
NEW YORK, August 23.—“I am
tired of blushing for my country,”
said Mrs. Wickersham, wife of George
W. Wickersham, attorney-general in
'President Taft’s cabinet, today. “Nev
er did I thiuk to hang my head as I
have been forced to do during the last
three years.
“I am a mi 'lber of the women s
committee of the National Hughes Al
liance purely on the score of patriot
’ ism. Personally I am an anti-suffra
gist, but all my energies and interests
; are concentrated on the coming elec
tion.
“I long to be proud of my country.
I need to be proud of it; proud of our
! spirit at home and proud of our repu
tation abroad; and I want to pass
that pride on to my son and my
grandsons.
“We must stand before the world
j as a nation composed in strength but
absolutely ready at every point to
! back up its ideals when action is
necessary.
“I think the real issue of this cam
paign is patriotism and I think a
great many of us of varying political
convictions are going to work togeth
er for the welfare of the country.
“I am a firm believer in clearly de
fined political parties, but there are
times and conditions in the political
history of a country like ours when
wre must all unite on the big issues
and agree to differ about the lesser.
'‘As an anti-suffragist I am not
concerned with political organizations
as such, but as a citizen of this coun
11 try I am deeply concerned for its wel
' fare.
“I)o I believe preparedness must be
made an issue? Yes, indeed. And I
want every man and woman in this
country to be made to feel a sense of
responsibility about serving it in some
! way. I want people to leam that pre
paredness cannot be settled entirely
i by congress; that it is an individual
! matter and that we must take it up
iindividually to make it national.”

Commission to
Adjust Tariff to
Be Non-Partisan
WASHINGTON, August 23.—In
naming the forthcoming tariff com
mission the president, it is known to
day, is determined to get entirely out
of a political atmosphere. The chan
ces of any aspirant who is recom
mended by a politcian will go glim
mering.
President Wilson is said to have a
constitutional aversion to appointing
a man to a job when the man is rec
ommended by a politician. The rea
son is that almost any senator or
congressman will recommend a man
if he comes from his district.
Frequently the candidate may be
personally unknown to the solon. He
comes in for the regular form O. K.,
many times a rubber stamp affair
that never comes to the congress
man’s attention at all.
While the president was wrestling
with the farm loan board personnel,
he received several hundred recom
mendations. One day a group of con
gressmen came to the white house to
recommend a certain man. Not one
of them knew the man’s full name or
anything about him. One of the group
desired him and the rest were helping
boost.
A senator was asked following a
conference with the president if he
had at any time added to the names
on the prospective list of the farm
board experts.
“Why, yes,” the senator replied, “I
believe I did recommend someone. It
was several days ago and I really paid
no attention to it. I don’t even re
member the man’s name, but he was
from my district, I’m sure.”
Examples of this are found in the
filling of supreme court and cabinet
vacancies, too. A hundred lawyers
were recommended by political advis
ors for the place now occupied by
Justice Ifrandeis.
