TAFT DISCUSSES ES IN A NOTABLE INTERVIEW THE PRESIDENT TREATS OF THE TARIFF, TRUSTS, HIGH COST OF LIVING, WOMAN SUFFRAGE, RE CALL OF JUDGES, IMMIGRATION AND GOVERNOR WILSON. PROTECTION RAISES WAGES. Thinks the Payne Law Has Enabled the American Worker to Meet the Cost of Living and Maintain His Family In Comfort Every Able bodied Man Willing to Work Has Work City Hotels Thronged With Buyers and Farmers Never Better Off Nothing Can Kill Prosperity but the Benumbing Glacier of Free Trade or a Wave of Anarchy. President Taft, -when in New York, Sept 24, gave a long interview to the newspapers in which he discussed fully the campaign issues. This is the interview in part: "ilr. President, haveyou visited the Chamber of Horrors in Union square, where the burdens upon living under the high tariff are illustrated?" "Xo, but a New York friend told me a little incident In regard to it worth' remembering. According to the story told me, the exhibition includes a num ber of articles of clothing tagged with the prices and an alleged statement of what the articles would cost witflithe tariff duties deducted. I understand that a number of establishments ' en gaged in the manufacture of clothing are situated in the neighborhood, aid a worklngman, evidently from one of those establishments, strolled at the noon hour Into the exhibition. Looking about him, be noticed a coat bearing a price tag, and indicating what: the cost of the coat would be without?, a tariff duty. 'TThy. he remarked, 'that would bring the price of the coat loroer than wiiat 1 get for making one. CAt that rate where would I come tn? It is hardly necessary to say that he' would not 'come in' at all. unless willing to work for one-half to one-fifth of his present pay for making a coat. "The policy of the Republican party fa not to shut out foreign manufac tures, but to foster domestic manufac tures and to keep the American ' work lngman employed. "The tariff should be revisedgso far as may be necessary to keep prices from being exorbitant, so that,, as I have explained in , my speech of ac ceptance, the manufacturer shall' se cure only enough protection to pay .the scale of high wages which. obtains- and ought to obtain in this country, and 6ecure a reasonable profit" "What do you think, Mr. President, of the proposal of the third teem party to coutrol the trusts through) federal incorporation and regulation?" "It would create the most monstrous monopoly of power in the history ..of the world a power as much, greater, as much more autocratic, than that of a Caesar or a Napoleon, as the? business interests of the twentieth century are greater, more dominant andfarreach Ing than were those of 2,000 or 100 years ago. "The Payne law has had no more to do with advancing the cost of living than the latest Atlantic cable tariff. Ou the contrary, It has enabled the American worker to meet the cost of . living and maintain his family in com fort. "Under the operation of that law Prosperity has been gradually restored since the panic of 1907. Practically -every ablebodied man who Is willing to work has work, and In some of the lQrge industrial centers, as well as la other parts of the country, the demand for labor far exceeds the supply. City hotels have been thronged with buyers from all sections of the Union, who; rePort ready sales and empty shelves, ; and are eager purchasers of goods to replenish their stores. Farmers were Jever better off. Every legitimate in-' flustry is looking forward to still great er Prosperity, provided the nation's Progress shall not be halted by the be numbing glacier of free trade or the aestructive lava stream of anarchy. I have not changed In the slightest 7 view as to the necessity of mone tary reform, or of the great value and!

"What Is your attitude, Mr. Presi dent, on the woman suffrage ques tion?" "Suffrage for women is an issue to be decided by the states, and there can be no doubt whatever that whenever and wherever a majority of women Impress upon their fathers, their hus bands, sons, brothers and beaus that they want-to vote they will get the right to vote." "Do you regard the recall of judges. Mr. President, as an issue in this cam paignr . "I regard the -maintenance of an In dependent judiciary as a supreme is sue, and I thoroughly agree with the American Bar association that the re call applied to judges would tend to deprive the public of judges of ability, character, high sense of duty and a due regard to enlightened public senti ment and that such a judiciary is ab solutely necessary to the existence of a constitutional democracy." "What are your views. Mr. Presi ient, in regard to immigration?" "There are both room and opportu nity In the United States for immi grants of wholesome physique, indus trious habits and good moral charac ter. I hope that when the Panama canal is opened the tide of immigra tion from Europe will 'flow through to the Pacific states, which are very sparsely settled in view of their vast extent and magnificent natural re sources." "It is reported, Mr. President, that Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federatiou of Labor, has sent out circulars to labor unions at tacking your administration as hostile to organized labor." "I have not seen the circulars you mention, but if. the statement is cor rect Mr. Gompers is as mnch in error as he was four years ago. when he proposed to deliver the whole labor vote to Mr. Bryan. "I appreciate." added Mr. Taft. "Governor Wilson's courteous and re spectful personal attitude toward my office' and toward me. As to his state ment about my being misled by 'bad advisers I wish him and every one to understand that I have been and will continue to the end of my term president of the United States in all that the title implies, that. I am re sponsible for every act of my admin istration and have no burden to shift on to others." Avoid Sedative Cough Medicines. If you want to contribute directly to the occurrence of capillary bronchitis and pneumonia use cough medicines that con tain codine, morphine, heroin and other sedatives when you have a cough or cold. An expectorant like Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is what is needed. That cleans out the culture beds or breeding places for the germs of pneumonia and other germ diseases. That is why pneumonia never results from a cold when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is used. It has a' world wide renutation for its cures. It contains no morphine or other sedative.

Saves Leg of Boy. "It seemed that my 14-year old boy would hAve to lose his leg, on account of an ugly ulcer, caused by a bad bruise," wrote D. F. Howard, Aquone, N. C.

Within a year following passage of the Payne bill wages were increased more than $500,000,000. Industry is operating at high pressure, general business is pros perous, and there is a scarcity of labor everywhere. . Two acts providing safety for rail way employees and proper inspection of appliances have been passed. The federal mining bureau for re ducing the dangers to workmen has been established A children's bureau to minimize In fant mortality, and reduce child em ployment In factories has been or ganized. Pensions for Union veterans of the war of the rebellion have been broad ened and increased. "White slavery has been outlawed and checked. Our trade with foreign nations has These are among the achievements of three years of Taft. No. other admin istration within the same brief limit has accomplished so many substantial benefits to the people. Why make a change, involving widespread upheaval of business, when every physical and material condition is favorable? From Hot-. risburg (Pa.) Telegram.

'They grew worse, till I would often faint I could not walk at all, and I had an awful hurting in my side ; also a headache and a backache. I gave up and thought I would die, but my husband urged me to . try Cardui, so, I began, and the first bottle helped me. By the time the third bottle was use4, I couH do all my work. All the people around here said I would die, but 'Cardui relieved me." . TAKE 0 1 For more than 50 years, Cardui has been relieving woman's.sufferings, and making weak women strong and well. During this time, thousands of women have written, like Mrs. McPherson, to tell of the really surprising results they obtained by the use of this purely vegetable, tonic remedy for women. ... Cardui strengthens, builds, restores, and relieves or pre vents unnecessary pain and suffering from womanly troubles. If you &re a woman, begin taking Cardui, today. xtrrH,' LiM Advisory Dept.
