My Dear Son— You are now of age I ■tad about to exercise the right of an | American citlren for the first time, ■toce you appear undecided as to I Which party to ally yourself with and > hate asked my advice upon this point | I Will Impart ^o you my own feelings j ♦a the matter. I have regarded with Increasing ' •term the growing radicalism of the | Democratic party and have long ques- j tUmed the wisdom of many of Its ineas- j ®Ma and both the sincerity end ability j of- certain of Its leaders. I have, how- : never hesitated until the present | •ltctlon to give It my unqualified sup- i port for, while disliking Mr. Bryan ttd heartily disapproving a platform I devoted to the free and unlimited coin- j It of silver as opposed to sound money end a gold standard, I nevertheless j remembered my party loyalty and vot- | od the Democratic ticket For the j seaae reason I voted as I had always dSfce in the election of 1900, though 1 lets In sympathy with the Democratic ' Pieborm than ever before and thor- I Mghly convinced that the humanity of j i the American people would In the long ! rtfi entirely approve the action of a j • Republican administration In llberat- < tfcg Cuba and the Philippines from the ; I •tackles of Spain, In developing their i CM on roes and in governing them wise- ' , XT You Reaa This h Will be to learn that the leading medical writers and teachers of all the several ■ehools of practice recommend, in the Wrongest terms possible, each and every Ingredient entering Into the composition •f Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery , for the cure of weak stomach, dyspepsia, 1 catarrh of stomach, -liver complaint" , torpid liver, or biliousness, chronic bowel affections, and all catarrhal diseases of ' Whatever region, name or nature.

ly and firmJy tmfll such a Omc as rney i || should be enabled to stand upon tbeir j When In 1904 Mr. Parker received , i the nomination of my party I enter- ! ' tained lively hopes that we had at last . » hit upon a man who would unite the! 1 conservatism of the old with the progresslveuess of a new Democracy. You I I will perhaps recall how bitterly I was i : to be disappointed, both in the mukc- . j shift policy of the party and in the j bloodless character of the man. After the overwhelming defeat of ■ 1904 I gradually awoke to the fact that i I was almost totally out of sympathy i with the controlling forces in my party and began to feel something of dls- , gust for the advocates of Populism. - bimetallism, imperialism and radlcal- » J ism. 1 am now of the opinion that the - ! Democratic party cannot hold its con- > I servatlves and Its Socialists at the same I time. The bonds were bound to break . | and have done so. Feeling the lack of ' J a leader, thousands of the moderate j wing of the Democratic, party have : flocked to the Republican standard. I 1 have watched whole states become Rei publican which had always been | etanchly Democratic. This will unj doubtedly be true of Kentucky and j Tennessee, and I should not be suri prised to see Georgia and Florida fol- ! lowing In tbeir lead. 1 In looking over the platforms of the I two principal parties I have been able i to discover so little dissimilarity and j hostility In all of the more vital ineasj ures that I begin to fee 1 strongly that the ensuing elections \yill be a question j of men rather than of Issues and for this reason advise you to scrutinize the characters and careers of the respectlve candidates with the greatest careBoth are men of the highest personal ' | character and Irreproachable In private ■ | and personal qualities. The crucial ' I test Is In the showing of tbeir quallfi- [ I cations for public administration of | large affairs and In their perception of 1 I the true publtt Interest in the issues of the day. Such a test and such a ] tomparisou. It seems to me. are greatly | In favor of Mr. Taft. He has had j | large experience In a variety of offices j I of trust and authority, exhibiting ad1 mlnlstratlve ability of a very high or- ; der in every position to which be has called. His rule In the Philippines and Cuba excited most favorable comment throughout the country. His 1 superb equipment for the presidential i office must appeal to the judgment of ; a large class of more or less independ- I | ent voters when compared with Mr. I 1 entire lack of experience as an administrator and his superabundant | ! endowments as a theorist and a manu- ! facture'r of phrases. I can never for- j 1 get that Tie has beetf'" defeated In al- } moat every contest, whether national , or local. Into which he has ever en- I tered, while the only two issues, the I j distinct product of his own brain, "six- j : ! to one silver" and "government j ' ownership of railways," have been I forcibly repudiated, the former by the j 1 American people In the elections of j and 1900 and the latter by the "party itself. Of the two ; I am Inclined to regard Mr. Taft the broader and less sectional and 1 i less Inclined to arouse class bostilj 'ty. | Two years ago I could not have voted | the Republican ticket, but should have stayed away from the polls altogether. 1 Recently, however, I have come to consider my duty as an American citias paramount to any obligations * that I may owe to my party. Though ' admiring him personally. I realty fear j For Coal, Coke, and Wood phone T t W. Millet and Son.

Mr. Bryan' politically and believe it my duty and far the good of the country to vote toe his opponent. You win ask If I am not afraid to tot the Republicans Stay lohger in power. A decade ago I should have answered "Yea," but when I reflect upon the patriotic administration of Mr. Roosevelt, who has ruled as one of the best and wisest presidents of oar entire history, and when I further reflect upon the great strides which we have made in the production of wealth and general prosperity and that under the guidance of the Republican principles the American poopio hava become tha richest nation In the world, with wealth today exceeding that of England and all her colonies and that of France and Germany combined, why, then I am forced to may "No." If this great prosperity has come to us under Republican rule we can, I think, then safely trust it In office for four years more. ^ In consideration of. the somewhat questionable filibustering of the Democratic minority In the house of representatives during the past session there were nevertheless many wholesome and progressive laws enacted which will prove of great benefit to the country. A congress has little need to apologize for lack of work accomplished which has passed an emergency currency bill, appointed a national monetary commission, an employers' government liability bill, a widows' pension bill, a child labor law for the District of Columbia; a new statute for the safety of railway engineers and firemen and repealed the unfair statute applying the American coastwise laws to the Philippines. In a word, my dear boy, much as I regret the necessity, I, nevertheless feel It my duty to vote the Republican ticket and sincerely trust that you will upon the outset of your career ally ycftirself with that party which has done so much for the laboring and agricultural classes In particular and the entire people la general. Affection- ] ately, YOUR FATHER. v NEGRO AND DEMOCRACY. | Would Be Suicidal For Colored Men to j Vote For Bryan. •- ' ' ae of the greatest negroes this t i country has known, a leader of his , p I race aud the honored confidant of j ,. President Grant and Secretary Fish. • j | recently said: "It would be suicidal u j for colored men to vote for Bryan . They have nothing to hope for from ; the Democratic party, which has disfranchised theui In the south and f which professes to regard them as | t unfit for the ballot anywhere. The , r only chance for the negro is .with the j . Itepublicau party, and it will be a sad 1 . day for the negro when a Republican presidcut will be elected without the . votes of negroes having helped t" i . place bim in |iower." In view of the fact that Bryan him- I ; self has approved negro disfranchise- ; meut In the south there can be no f doubt of his attitude should he be . elected to the presidency, while the . southern Democrats would regard northern negro votes for their candidates as an Indorsement by the negro , race of southern treatment of the negro. I It Is impossible to believe that any negro who has studied intelligently the | , history of bis race will go into the ! voting liooth and cast a ballot In favor I of Bryan and against Taft and Sber- - man. the Republican candidates— the candidates of the party which opened j the door of hope to the colored jnan. j i I which gave him the ballot and safe- j ' guards him In its use in every state In ! ; which Republicans rule. I - Democracy Divided. I Tbomas L. Hisgen, Hearst candidate ! ' for the presidency, looks for the elec- J don of Taft and then a new align- , meut of political parties. Mr. rtisgeu !. i says: "The Democratic party is dividing. , j The radical and the more conservative J | elements can pull together only a lit- . I tie while longer. After Bryau Is deI feated for a third time there is bound ! - | to be a new alignment of the people, { land the Democratic ^party will disintegrate. The Republicans will get some | of those former Democrats, ami the : Independence league will get more of | them. The campaign of 1912 will be fought out by a different set of po- I iltlcal parties from those now in the j | field." ) ' Bryan's great handicap ic running j for the presidency Is that he cannot! run away from his record. The wind bloweth where It llsteth. i So does William Jennings Bryan. It Is ' ^ ; a way they both have. Basely Deceived. I The Husband— You want to know j ] where I was 60 late last night ? 1 was i | at the office balancing my books, j The Wife — It seems to me that you balance your books very often. That f excuse Is about threadbare. Tbe H.— H'm! If you don't believe ! 1 me, why don't you consult a fortune ! teller? The W.— Not much. I consulted one once, and she told me a pack of lies. The H.— Indeed! What did she ten : you? The W.— She told me I would get a rich, handsome, kind, attentive and ' ■friithfTi ) husband. Southern people have much to bear— I ^ the articles In the magazines, for example, in which northern contributors by to put out negro dialect! It's enough to give one the beezlumbots — QaJvesNews. « There Is none made so great but he may both need help and aerrlce and I klnfln— even of the meanest of mar- ■

f MR. TAFT DOES THINGS. . One Incident That Shows the Quality of the Men. [ This Incident affords 'perhaps as good . an insight, into the psychology of Mr. Taft as any that could ^ cited. It 0- [ lustrates the way Mr "f9lt does thinge . the way he works and the way be , plays, for when be plays he plays as , hard and zestfully as he works. With . him the thing Is to do It. Accomplish- . ment Is ever his aim. It happened I while Mr. Taft was on the sea. bound i for Manila to open the Philippine asf] sembly. The narraior watched thepro- . ceedings at. close range. Three men [ stood between decks on the steamship, , away up in the eyes of the ehlp, and i contemplated a hole ten feet above . their beads. A narrow iron ladder led , perpendicularly to the deck. The drt cumference of the hole seemed to approximate -that of a Bugar barrel. One I of the men. Ambassador O'Brien, . bound for Tokyo, was tall. and spare, lean and sinewy. The second, Judge i Tbomas Burke of Seattle, was short - and rotund. The third, Mr. Taft, was I larger and heavier than the other two » put together. 1 "It would be easier for the camel to - go through the needle's eye, Mr. Sec- •\ retarj^ than for you ta get through that hole," bantered Judge Burke. "I wouldn't like to try that climb, i Til confess," said the ambassador, r "Well, I don't know," rejoined the ' 285 pound secretary of war. "It looks - like a tough proposition." • For a moment the three turned aside i to examine something to which their attention was directed. Unregarded. I Mr. Taft stepped to the foot of the ladi der and observed It contemplatively, i One might have deduced from his manI tier that bis thoughts ran something ' like tbis: "That's a hard climb, and i that hole looks smaller tban my body, I but those fellows don't believe that I I can climb up that ladder and get • through the hole. I believe I can. I'm going to try' 1L" Before he was spied Mr. Taft had I half scaled the ladder. Ambassador I O'Brien and Judge Burke, despite - 1 tbeir lesser weight expressed in their 1 faces an approximation of dismay when they saw what the secretary was > about. "You'll never make It; better i ! come back," advised the ambassador. ' , "Look out the ladder doesn't break," . cautioned Judge Burke. Round after I round the secretary progressed until I his body was halfway out of the hole. When the circumference of his girth came Into conjunction with the clrI . ctiuiference of the hole It was a toss- - | up for a minute which would win. But Mr. Taft proved that be had an elastic wuist line, which won over the unyielding limits of the bole. But It was a struggle, fie stuck to It grimly and doggedly. The lifting of 285 pounds of dead weight by the muscles of the arms is a task that would tax the I strength of a far lighter man. A final . i heave and Mr. Taft hopped upon the I deck as lightly as a boy. He was ; smiling all over. He had won. The passengers who had watched gave him | a cheer. He would have stayed In the t hole aud fought It out for an hour I rather than retreat.
