i ROOSEVELT HAY REVISE IT (Uy SHOWAIiTBR.) WaRhlngton, D. C July 7. "The Re publican party Is the party of extrav agance and greed", said Representa tive Livingstone today, "and every year witnesses greater extravagance than Its predecessor. Not so long ago that party was turned out of power by the people of the country, largely be rause it gave us a billion, dollar con gress. But that day is past. Now it spends more than four-flfths of a billion dollars at each session, and Its appropriations increase from year to year. It cannot be urged, either, that the appropriations are in keeping with the growth of the country, for they Increase a great deal faster than the population of the country grows. The fact Is, that economy is out of the question with the republicans. They j pile up a big expense account In order to Justify their high tariff. Some of these days, however, things are going to change. Public sentiment has a curious way of going to sleep and of a midden rousing up and demanding an accounting, and beware its wrath at the unjust steward! That is want is go ing to overtake the republicans at no distant day. The time is about ripe for that awakening." Hearst Vs. llailey. The letter of Villain Randolph Hearst .charging Senator Joe Hailey with having refused to wear a dress suit and afterwards donning the livery of .Standard Oil is the subject of a Rrcat deal of angry comment here. Those who know Mr. Ilailcj; know him to be-one of the strongest and purest minded men in the congress of the United States. No one who has been around the Capital long would take the slightest stock in the insinuations of the New York editor. It Is regarded here as being the meanest and most contemptible form of slander. Hut then that has ever been Hearst's way. That is his favorite way of replying to an attack on him. It was the way he replied to Representative Sullivan of Massachusetts, it is the weapon he used when showing his sore too which the St. Louis convention gave him. It Is Hearst's way, and there is little need that it should be copyrighted by him, for there will be no imitators. It is safe to say that despite this unmanly lllng at one of the most manly men in nil America, Mr. Bailey will still con tinue to enjoy the respect of the whole country. Hit Tillman Pretty Haiti. Senator Elkins Is not as strong as a debater as he Is at a conference table, nnd yet there are times a plenty in the course of rough and tumble de bate when he gets in a stralght-from-the-shoukier blow- One of these occa sions happened a few days before ad journment when Senacor Tillman was on a high horse over the elimination of the pipe lines from the commodity amendment to the rate bill. Senator Elkins had read telegrams from prac tically every lnuependent oil man in Vest Virginia, urging that such action be taken. Senator Tillman declared that such a course was In the Interest of Standard Oil and against the in terest of the independents. "Well," rejoined the Vest Virginia senator, "if the senator from South Carolina knows more about the oil business and what wili .be for or against the inter ests of the Independent operators than they do themselves, and can show that he docs, then his counsel ought to be taken, and I hope it will be; for I am as earnest in desiring the protection of the interests of the Independent op erators as he can possibly be. But the pitchfork senator did not attempt to "show" the West Virginia senator, who literally as well as figuratively is from Missouri. The contention of the West Virginia senator was sustained. Congress Worked Hard. Yesterday I was talking with Mr. W. A. Smith, who is in charge of the Congressional Record office at the cap Itol. He said that in the eighteen years he has been In charge .of that office there has never been such a busy es sion nor such a great demand for the printing of speeches. "This is going to be the greatest cam- j paign of education in the history of politics," said ho, "if one is to judge from the printed speeches that are being ordered. The most of the mem bers of the house delivered speeches on the tariff question, and they arc having us print them in wholesale lots. They will broadcast them over their districts, and the best of them will be broadcasted over the whole country. From this It is evident that the poli ticians have fieen the handwriting on the wall and that they are preparing to fight the battle out along that line. It is believed by the unbiased observ ers of the political game as It is played that this gives the democratic party the best issue It could have at this lime." As I stated in a previous letter there Is a probability that President Roose velt will gel Into the campaign at the last moment and say that he wants the tariff revised. Since I stated in that letter that I had it on the au thority of one who knew, that the president hnd scratched out the para graph in his last annual message rec-1 ommending tariff revision. I have had; that statement confirmed by two other j prominent men. If ho should jump intoi The Best Guaranty of Merit Is Open Publicity. Every bottle of Dr. Tierce's world famed medicines leaving the great labo ratory at Buffalo, N. Y., has printed upon its wrapper all the ingredients entering Into its composition. This tact alone places Dr. Pierce's Family Medi cines in a cUixx all hi themselves. They cannot be classed with patent or secret medicines because they are neither. This is why so many unprejudiced physicians prescribe thorn and recommend them to their patients. They know what they are composed of, and that the Ingredients are those endorsed by the most eminent medical authorities. .The further fact that neither Dr. Pierce's (iolden Medical Discovery, the great stomach tonic, liver mvigorator, heart regulator and blood purifier, nor his "Favorite Prescription' for weak, over worked, broken-down, nervous women, contains any alcohol, also entitles them to a placo all by themselves. Many years ago, Dr. Pierce discovered that chemically pure glycerine, of proper strength, is a better solvent mid preserv ative of the medicinal principles resid ing in our indigenous, or native, medi cinal plants than is alcohol; and. further more, that it possesses valuable medicinal properties of its own, being demulcent, nutritive, antiseptic, and a most efficient antil'erment. Neither r,f tho above medicines con tains alcohol, or anv harmful, habit forming drug, as will be seen from a glance at tho formula printed on each bottle wrapper. They are safo to use and potent to cure. Not only do physicians prescribe tho above, non-secret medicines largely, but tho mast intelligent people employ them people wljo would not think of using the ordinary patent, or secret medicines. Every ingredient entering Into the com position of Dr. Pierce's medicines has tho strongest kind of an endorsement from leading medical writers- of the several schools of practice. No other medicines put up for like purposes has any such iinifexuhnud endorsement. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure con stipation. Constipation is the cause of many diseases.

The angels of night had spread their ebony wings over the vast city, and a stillness as deep and profound as that which envelops the starlit, trackless prairie was brooding o'er the red-tiled cottages of Klmberly Crescent, wherein the weary workers, worn out by their herculean labors, were snatching an all too brief interval of repose on the swarmed into the streets and focused their dilating eyes upon a dazzling effulgence In the skies the crimson lus ter of which made It all too awfully evident that a conflagration of unpre cedented fury was raging in the near vicinity. Like a flotilla of fishing boats swept irresistibly on before a mighty, rush lug tidal wave, the crowd surged in a conglomerate, inextricable mass to the precise locality, where the fire demon held maniacal sway, and a wail, re sembling the cry of a lost soul shut out of Paradise, filtered through their lips as they discerned the form of a wondrously beautiful maiden, clad in an exquisitely chaste robe do nuit, peering with the eyes ot a startled fawn from one of the upper windows of the burning domicile. "Merciful heavens, she will perish!" vociferated the crowd In cyclonic cho rus. "For pity's sake, save her!" And, as If in providential answer to this clamorous appeal, the fire engine thun dered like a rampant monster of the antediluvian period down the congested thoroughfare, and a tumult of cheering that seemed to cleave the heavens in twain greeted the appearance of an intrepid young fireman of Titaiiic pro portions who had reared an elongated ladder against the side of the burning edifice and was bounding up with the strides of a Colossus to the rescue of the distressed damsel. With what a dazzling luminosity did the pellucid orbs o the prepossessing young lady light up when she descried amid the asphyxiant smoke the form of her Indomitable deliverer! And what a mighty fusillade of eeslatie shouts burst from the leather-lined lungs of tho marveling multitude as the valiant fireman's ux shivered the window framel Instantly a dense ex halation of volcanic vapor volleyed forth with Vcsuvian velocity, but the impcrturbnle fireman leaped imo the red-hot furnace of rlame with invul nerability of a salamander, and when he reappeared he held In his charred ind blackened arms -something which, but for an occasional eel-like wriggle, and a characteristically feminine anx iety concerning the symmetry of its back hair, might have been niisiaken for a marble statue. For a moment the magnificent figure of the lion-hearted rescuer poised itself in an eye-blinking flume of '.lire, on the scorched window sill, then, enfold ing his fair burden in a giani -like, yet infinitely tender, embrace, -he inaile a breath-suspending dive into tin- yawn ing fire escape, and not a second too soon, for, simultaneously with his pre cipitous passage into safety, a gor geous pyroteehnloal display of sparks betokened the collapse of the roof, and the fire demon, wearying of bis saliir nalian holocaust, permitted hjniself to lie reduced to impotence by the tons and tons of aqueous artillery which Hie firemen poured in a -,.agara-like cataclysm upon tho once massive but now wcfully marred and mutilated cottage. London Tit-F.it. PROI5LEM PRESENTED l!V BREAKFAST FOOD AM) PTE. - Tho death of Henry 1). Perky, ' tho champion of vegetarianism, recalls the terrible indictment he brought against pie as a disturber of the harmony that should prevail in our midsl. His in dictment is thus succinctly staled -by u contemporary: "When the New York vegetarian so ciety celebrated Thanksgiving day in 1900 Air. Perky made an address, in which he said that the diet -of the Pil grim Fathers was so poor that it made them and their descendants stingy; that they lived for generations on pie, doughnuts and cake, sold .their slaves because slaveholding was not profit able in the 'pie belt,' and then, out of pure meanness, caused by a pie diet, did not want the residents of the southern states to have slaves. Hence the war." It must not be forgotten that this arraignment of pie was made by a man who made a great fortune In the manufacture of breakfast foods. There has not been time enough since the introduction of these foods to estimate accurately their effect upon the con science ot the Aniericun people, but it must be admitted that damaging alle gations have been made against them. Eaters of pie, curiously enough, are usually the most bitter accusers of breakfast foods. The Post, with proper conservatism, refuses to take sides in this controversy until it has ascer tained the whole truth. An irrepress ible conllict is at hand, and we don't propose to lie on the wrong side If w; can help it. In tho pursuit of information on this topic a somewhat extended study was made during the past session of the diet of senators and .. representatives, which may shed some light upon ob scure features of recent famous epis odes. It was discovered that a most tenacious and belligerent senator kept the fires of his wrath burning with vegetable fuel exclusively, and that another senator noted for his explosive temper lunched entirely upon hot huckleberry pie. This would appear at first blush to be a case of tweedle dum and twcodlcdoe; but it is far from it. Both foods were vegetable com pounds,' after all. So that if a man is controlled by the food he eats, it is fairly well proved that vegetable products are responsible for much of the excitement that has prevailed in the senate during this session. Studies in the house of representa tives led to the same assumption. Take "Uncle Joe" Cannon, for illustration. At the very beginning of the meat panic he announced that he was on ting his" regular portion' of Chicago meal, with youthful zest, three times a day. And where is there a more benevolent, mild-mnnnon;d, optimistic American than "I'lieie Joe?" In addition to his meat - rations, ."ITricle Joe" Has with faithful devotion consumed at luncheon a slab, or wedge, or "piece" of pie, thus responding to th-v- mysterious heredi tary intluenees .. .which engrossed the mind of Hawthorne. Yet "Uncle Joe" lias no trace of stinginess or meanness. Until he has been converted to vege tarianism this cult will always have a lion in its pathway. . Within the. past few days a: little more light has been cast upon this bl;. fling subject by revelations of the character of food consumed at the white house. Here, again, the theory that pie contributes to combati ven.'ss and aggressiveness is not established. Pie is not mentioned in the president's list of what lie eats, and yet his con tests with congress were waged with unusual vigor, as the whole world knows. The belligerent nature of breukfast. food may have nmde itself felt there, as in the senate: but here hard-boiled eggs appear in the equ ation, and speculation staggers and is losl. . . If the department of agriculture is not too busy with other vital matters, it-Vhould. make a series of investiga tions into the nature of breukfast fond and pie. This is a matter that will not be settled until it. is settled right. Fiom the Washington Post.- THE NORTH CAROLINA Mate XNormai ana industrial college COVRSES..
