THE MORNING POST. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13,' JQ04 enable them to do their duty as re gards the problems connected with the trusts, and to secure the building of the Isthmian GanaL We are content to rest our case before the American peo ple upon the fact that to adherence to a lofty Ideal we have added proved gov ernmental efficiency. Therefore .our promises may surely be trusted as re gards any issue that Is now before the people; and we may equally be trusted to deal with any problem which may hereafter' arise. ' So well has the work been done that our opponents do not venture to recite the facts about our policies or acts, and then oppose them. They attack them only when they have first misrep resented them; for a truthful recital would leave no room for adverse com ment. The Isthmian Canal Panama offers an instance in point. Our opponents can criticise what we did in Panama only on condition of mis stating what was done. The adminis tration behaved throughout not only with good faith, but with extraordi nary patience and large generosity, to ward those with whom it dealt. It was also mindful of American interests. It acted in strict compliance with the law ppssed by congress. Had not Panama been promptly recognized and the tran sit across the Isthmus kept open, in ac .nrflanrp with our treaty rights and ob- ini Ms mini ii V r V - -Li' - V - J Jll AT TUCKER'S STORE, RALE IQ'H, N C September Sale of I (O) CARPETS CURTAINS, RUGS, MATTINGS, DRAPERIES SHEETS and SHEETINGS TABLE CLOTHS, TABLE DAMASKS, TABLE NAPKINS, TOWELS.

That they succeed and their unapproachable bargains are appreciated is shown by their constant growth and popularity. We sew our carpets by machinery. The seams are straight and lay flat, no knots or bumps, and are almost invisible to the eye. The carpet wears longer and looks better than when sewn by hand. No extra charge for making. Write or phone us the size of your room, and tell us what you want. You will get your carpet by next freight. Remember, We Give Gold Trading Stamps good as gold. We prepay freight or express charges to any point in North Caro lina on all cash oi'ders of $5.00 or more. DOBBIN 5s PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE " - ... Democrats Don't Know Anything and Can't Do Any thing Republican Party Omniscient, Omni potent, Infallible That's the the Gist of It The , following Is the text of the es sentiel portions of President Roose velt's letter of acceptance of his nomi nation by the Chicago convention: Oyster Bay, N. T., September 12r 1904. Hon. J. G. Cannon, Chairman of the Notification Committee. My Dear Sir: I accept the nomina tion for the presidency tendered me by the Republican national convention, and cordially approve the platform adopted by It. It is difficult to find out irom the ut terances of our opponents what are the real issues upon which they propose to wage this campaign. It is hot unfair to say that, having abandoned most of the principles upon which they have insisted during the last eight years, they now seem at a loss, both as to what it is that they really believe, -and as to how firmly they shall assert their belief in anything. ln fact, it is doubt ful if they venture resolutely to press a single issue; as soorr as they raise one they shrink from it and seek to explain it-away. Such an attitude is the prob ably inevitable result of the efforts to improvise convictions; for when thus improvised ,it is natural , that they should be held in a tentative manner. The party noAv in control of the g'ov ernment is troubled by no such diffi culties. We do not have to guess at our own convictions and then correct the guess if it seems unpopular. The principles which we profess are those in which we believe with heart and soul and strength. Men may differ from us, but they can not accuse us of shiftiness or insincerity. The policies we have pursued are those which we earnestly hold as essential to the nat ional welfare and repute. Our actions speak even louder than our words for the faith that is in us. We base our appeal upon what we have done and are doing, upon our record of administration and legislation duritiff the last seven years, in which we have had complete control j of the government. We intend in the 1 future to carry on the government in the same way that we have carried it on in the past. ' ' . - A party whose members are radically at variance on most vital issues, and if united at all, are only united on is sues where their attitude threatens widespread disaster to the whole- coun try, can not be trusted to govern in any matter.A party which, with facile ease, changes all its convicions before elec tion can not be trusted to adhere with tenacity to any principle after election. A party fit to govern must have convic tions. In 1896 the Republican party came into power, and in 1900 it retained power on certain- definite pledges, each of which was scrupulously fulfilled. But in addition to meeting and solving the problems which were issues in these campaigns, it also became necessary to meet other problems which arose after election; and It is no small part of our claim to public confidence that these were solved with the same success that had attended the solution of those con cerning which the battles at the polls were fought. In other words, our gov ernmental efficiency proved equal not only to the tasks that were anticipated, but to doing each unanticipated task as it arose. . When the contest, of 1S96 was decided, the question of the war with Spain was not an issue. When the contest of 1900 was decided, the shape which the Isth mian Canal question ultimately took could not have been foreseen. But the same qualities which enabled those re sponsible for making and administering the laws at Washington to deal suc cessfully with the tariff and the cur rency, enabled them also to deal with the Spanish war; and the same quali ties "which enabled them to act wisely in the , Philippines, and in Cuba, also ' ligations, there would have ensued end less guerrilla warfare and possiDiy iui eign complications;, while all chance o2 building the canal would have been de ferred, certainly for years, perhaps for a generation or more. Criticism of the action in. this matter is simply criticism of the only possible action which could have secured the building of the canal, as well as the peace and quiet which we were, by treaty, bound to preserve along the line of transit across the Isth mus. The service rendered this country in securing the perpetual right to con struct, maintain, operate and defend the canal was so great that our oppo nents do not venture to raise the issue in straight-forward fashion; for if so raised there would be no issue. The decisive action which brought about this beneficent result was the exercise by the president of the power vested in him, and In him alone, by the constitu tion; the power to recognize foreign crrtvernments bv entering into diplo matic relations with them, and the power to make treaties which, when ratified by the senate, become under the constitution part of the supreme law of the land. Neither in this nor ln any other matter has there been the slight est failure to live up to the constitution in letter and in spirit. But the consti tution must be observed positively as well as negatively. The president's duty s to serve the country in accordance with the constitution; and I should be derelict in my duty if I used a false construction of the constitution as a shield for weakness and timidity, or as an excuse for governmental impotence. Foreign Policy Similar misrepresentation is. tho one weapon of our opponents in regard to our foreign policy, and the way the navy has baen made useful in carrying out this policy. Here again all that we ask is that they truthful.y., stare what has been done, and then say whether or not they object to it, for if. continued in power, we shall continue our fore'gn policy and ou- handling of the navy on exactly the same lines In the future as in the past. To what phase of our foreign policy, and to what use of the navy, do our oppo nents object? Do they object to the way in which the Monroe doctrine has been strengthened and upheld? Never before has this doctrine been acquiesced in abroad as it is now; and yet, while upholding the rights of the weaker American republics against foreign ag- eression. the administration has lost no opportunity to point out to these j republics that those who seek equity, ; should come with clean hands, and that whoever claims liberty as a right must accept the responsibilities that go with the exercise of the right. Do our opponents object to what was done in reference to the petition of American citizens against the Kishenev massa cre ?or to the protest against the treat ment of the Jews in Roumania? or to the efforts that have been made in be half of the Americans in Turkey? No other administration in our his tory, no other government in the world has more consistently stood for the broadest spirit of brotherhood In our common humanity, or ha held a more resolute attitude of protest against every wrong that outraged the civiliza tion of the age, at- home or abroad. Do our opponents object to the fact that the international tribunal at The Hague was rescued from Impotence, and turned into a potent Instrument for peace among the nations? This government has used that tribunal, and advocated its use by others, ln pursuance of its policy to promote the cause of international peace and good will by all honorable methods. In car rying out this policy, it has settled dis pute after dispute by arbitration or by friendly agreement. It has behaved towards all nations, strong or weak, with courtesy, dignity and justice; and it is now on excellent terms with all. Do our opponents object to the set tlement of the Alaska boundary line? Do they object to the fact that ar freeing Cuba we gave her reciprocal trade advantages with the United States, while at the same time keeping naval ctations in the island and provid ing aeainst its sinkiner into chaos or i being conquered by any foreign pow er; uo tney ooject to tne.fact that our flag now flies over Porto Rico? Do they object to the acquisition of Ha waii? Once they "hauled down" our flag there; we have hoisted it again; do thev Intend . v j. . uvviii ; " s-J tU 1H I China? Do they not know8 that the! I voice of the United States would now ' . count for nothing In the Far East if we had abandoned the Philippines and re- iusea to ao wnat was done in China?

A distressing case of Fibroid Tumor, which baffled the skill of Boston doctors, Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, Mass., in the following letter tells how she was cured, after everything else failed, by Lydia Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, Mrs. Hayes First Letter Appealing: to Mrs. Pinliham for-Helps "Dear Mks. Pinkhams I have been under Boston doctors' treat ment for a long time without any relief. They tell me I hare a fibroid tumor. I cannot sit down without great pain, and the soreness extends up my spine. I have bearing-dovn pains both back and front. My ab domen is swollen, and I have had flowing spells for three years. 3fy ap petite is not good. I cannot walk or be on my feet for any length of time "The symptoms of Fibroid Tumor given in vour little book ac curately describe my case, so I write to you for advice." (Signed) Mrs. E. F. Hayes, 252 Dudley St., (Roxbury) Boston, Mass. K Note the result of Mrs. Pinkham's advice al though she advised Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, to take her medicine which she knew would help her her letter contained a mass of additional instruc tions as to treatment, all of which helped to brino about the happy result. "Dear Mrs. Ptnkham: Sometime ago I wrote to you describ ing my symptoms and asked your advice. You replied, and I followed all your directions carefully, and to-day I am a well woman. " The use of IiVdia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound entirely expelled the tumor and strengthened my whole system. I can w alk miles now. "Jtiydla' E. Pinlchain's Vegetable Compound is worth five dol lars, a. drop. I advise all women who are afflicted with tumors or female trouble of any kind to give it a faithful trial." (Signed) E. F. Hates, 252 Dudley St., (Roxbury) Boston, Mass. Mountains of gold could not purchase such testimony or take the place of the health and happiness which Uydia E. Pmkham'i Vegetable Compound brought to Mrs. Hayes. Such testimony should be accepted by all women as convincing evidence that Xydia E. -Pinkham's Vegetable Compound stands without apeer as a remedy for all the distressing ills of women; all ovarian troubles; tumors; inflammations; ulceration, falling and dis placements of the" womb ; ' backache ; irregular, suppressed or painful menstruation:; Surely the volume and character of the testimonial let ters we are daily printing in the newspapers can leave no room for doubt, Mrs;; Hayes at her above address will gladly answer any letters which sick women may write for fuller information about her illness. H?r gratitude to Mrs. Pinkham and Iydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is so genuine and heartfelt that she thinks no trouble is too great for her to take in return for her health and happiness. Truly is it said that it is !Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound that is curing so many women, and no other medicine ; don't for-';. geu uua wuen some druggist; wants to sell you something else.
