Tart watt the guest <>f honor at the
BUI colt (Tub’s thirteenth anniversary
eelobiytion of Washington'* birthday
tonight. In his address Secretary
Taft had a word to say as to the na
(ion's tin preparedness for war.
“Washington deemed the prepara-
tion of the nation for war of high Im-
portant*," said Secretary Taft'. “Our
humiliating experience with reference
to our army In the war of 1812 and the
Immense losses which we suffered in
the Civil war from lack 01 prepara
tton Show that In this respect at least
we have not followed the advice of
the first president. We are, however,
making our navy more and more re
Hpectable each year, and i am very
hopeful that congress will take steps
which will make our army a proper
nucleus for the rapid enlargement of
a force for national defense commen-
surate with the opulatlon of the coun-
try and with the extent of our Juria-
dlet ion ”
Among other thing* Secretary Taft
said:
"Washington deprecated in the
strongest terms a sectional parly and
I? Is true thaf one of the great parties
finds much of its strength today in the
South, while the other party is almost
wholly without voting strength there
This condition i» due not to present
living issues, but to the ghost of the
past and to a fear of recurrence of con
<ttl Ions that are utterly Impossible
May we not in the next decade, were
fore look to a change in this respect
so that the two great parties shall he
nearly equally distributed through all
the states and the peaceful political
battle ground tie spread south Of Ma
son and Dixon’s line as it is today
north of that line
"Again, Washington pointed out. the
necessity for maintaining the separ
an- branches of the federal govern-
ment into which the constitution di-
vided It, and wanted the country of the
danger of. the usurpation of the [lower#
of one branch by another. From time
to tittle in political discussions we
have heard much of usurpation.
' Front time to time It Is asserted
against an executive that he is usurp
lug the functions of the legislature,
hut as long as congress retains the
power, of appropriation and expend!

gard is negligible.
President’s Right*.
The president is vested by the con
stituthm with the right to advise con
gross in respect to legislation and in
the exercise of the limited yeto power,
actually takes part. In it. In view- of
his legitimate functions In securing
legislation, it is far reached to term
his personal influence (n securing the
purpose of legislation an usurpation.
In respect to the frequently made
assertion that since Washington#
day the powers of the national govern
mem under the constitution have been
greatly widened by construction In
comparison with the power# of the
state, and that, therefore, it may be
said that the national government has
usurped state powers I can only co
ter a dissent from the view The
growth of the national power, as com-
pared with the state power, Is due to
the fact that In the development of
tills country and its business those
functions which were always nation-
al are new under a much wider scope
than they were in the beginning of the
government.
"On the whole, however, and allow-
ing fur the changed conditions due to
the enormous growth of the country,
It can be truly said that the Injunction
of Washington to keep within the eon
stltut tonal division of powers has tree a
sacredly kept,’’

Charm the Fat Away.
To reduce by means of exercise or
dieting is nothing hut torture to the
flesh and mortification to the spirit.
It Is so much simpler to “charm" it
away. Of course, I don't mean by
"spells" or "incantations” but through
the occasional use of fids home
eelpl, viz.: 1-2 ounce Marmola,
ounce Fluid Extract Carrara Aromatic
and 2 1-2 ounces Syrup Simplex, which
any one can obtain at. any drug store
for a small sum and mix at home.
Take a teaspoonful after ineals and at
bedtime. It literally charms the fat
away. Takes It off just where you
need it off and does it quickly but
harmlessly. Many person* lose as
much as a pound a day.
Isn’t that “charming" off the fat—
eat what you please anil still lose a
pound a day—without strain, injury
or effort?

Chicago. 111., Feb. 22 — Delegate* to
the naiional conference of the lnje-
[fendence League called for today at
the Auditorium hotel, were somewhat
late commencing their work.
W R. Hears! delivered a short ad-
dress, declaring that the first purpose
of the league's platform is "to restore
the power of government to the peo-
ple, to make their will supreme In
the primaries, in the selection* and
in the control of public officials after
they have been elected.”
He declared against, the use of
money at elections except for litera-
ture, meetings and legitimate appeals
to the intelligence and patriotism of
the voter*.
Mr. Hearat asserted thal It should
be the task of the league to correct
some of the evils of high finance, and
to frame constructive legislation
which will encourage all legitimate
business enterprises.
He said:
"I plead lor a new national party
devoted to the old American ideals;
I ph ail for a permanent party, wholly
and harmoniously committed to the
principles of Washington, Jefferson,
Jackson anti Uncoin.
"I define a party as a collection of
individuals devoted lo certain definite
principles, and active in politics to
promote these principles, and I de-
clare that according to that definition
there is no national party in the United
States today,
"Let ns Inaugurate a party that is
founded on fundamental American
principles, that will bo a national party
in the true sense of the word, and let
-is call it the national party If you
will.”
Mr Hoarsl's address was received
with much enthusiasm.
Form National Party,
Chicago, Fell. 22.—Steps for the
formation of a new national political
party were taken at a conference of
the Independence league here today.
The action followed a short speech by
William Randolph Hears! in which he
announced the principles of the league
and the adoption of a “declaration of
principles” setting forth tin- object* of
the organization and the means b\
which i( hopes to attain them. The
provisional national committee, of
which Mr. (learnt is chairman, was
authorized by a resolution to call a
national con i-ntion to nominate can-
didates for the presidency and vice-
presidency when the Republican and
-lit- Democratic parties have held their
gatherings in Chicago and Denver re-
spectively.
The conference today was held in
the south parlor of the Auditorium Ho-
tel. It wa* reported that 25 states
were represented by delegations and
that 125 person* attended the session.
The platform was reported by Clar-
ence J Shearn of New York, chairman
of a committee appointed in Septem-
ber, 1907. to formulate the document.
"The object* of the Independence
league are to conserve for the citizens
of the United 8tatea the rights and
liberties won for them by the found-
er* of this government," ways the plat-
form, ’’and to perpetuate the principles
and policies upon which the nation’s
greatness has been built.”
The league Is devoted to the preser-
vation of American liberty, honesty In
elections, opportunity in business,
equality before the law.
Favors Direct Nomination.
The declaration advocates 'direct
nomination of all candidates, popular
election of United States senators and
Judge* and legislation prohibiting the
use of money at elections except for
meetings, literature and the necessary
traveling expenses of candidates. The
Immediate purchase of the telegraph
lines Is made an issue separately. The
referendum is endorsed, over capitali-
zation of industries is condemned and
the league declared that the right to
issue money is Inherent In the govern-
ment and, furthermore, “nesessary is-
sues should he made by the govern-
ment and loaned to the tranks upon
securities approved by the secretary of
•he treasury."
Union labor organizations are en-
dorsed when they tend to bring about
a "Just distribution of wealth" and
lawB for an eight hour work day and
enforced use of sanitary appliances in
industrial undertakings and the right
of trial by Jury in contempt cases are
favored.

tion to the satisfaction of the discriminating house-

Do You Deliberately Torture Yourself
Alive by Neglecting Your Stomach?
Remedy Free for the A*king.
A great outcry has arisen during
the last few years against scientists
who torture dumb animals alive In
the Interests of science. How many
people are there, however, who need-
lessly torture themselves by causing
their stomachs to overwork. Dyspep-
sia. Indigestion, heartburn, sleepless-
ness. loss of vim and energy art* the
Inevitable result.
Are you one of those?
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets will re-
lieve vour stomach of all it# work and
lo it for you. They are compounded
of the very elements and do the work
which the stomach performs when in
normal health, aseptic pepsin, malt
iiSHtase and like ingredients.
I>r. Richardson in writing a thesis
in treatment of dyspepsia and indiges-
tion. closes his remarks by saying,
For those suffering from acid dyspep-
sia. shown by sour, watery risings, or
for flatulent dyspepsia shown by gas
Sn stomach, causing heart (rouble and
difficult breathing, as well as for all
other forms of stomach trouble, the
safest treatment Is to take one or
(woof Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets after
each meal, I advise them because
they contain no harmful drugs, but are
composed of of valuable digestives,
which act promptly upon the food
eaten, i never knew a case of indiges-
tion or even chronic dyspepsia, which
Stuart's Tablets would not reach,”
Cheap cathartic medicines claiming
to cure dyspepsia and indigestion can
have no effect whatever in actively
digesting the food, and to call any
cathartic medicine a cure for indiges-
tion is a misnomer.

and Canada sells Stuart’s Dyspepsia
Tablets, and they are not only the
safest and most successful but the
most scientific of any treatment for
indigestion ant stomach troubles.

in Rube ought to be at the height of
his career. Rube, however, has not
lived the simple life; his has been
one of strenuosity.
He first appeared as a professional
at Oil City. The greatest part of
Rube’s early life was spent on the
(tonal incorporation laws, and a strong
navy are advocated. A ship subsidy
for "the development of commerce"
and "the extension of the reserve naval
force" is endorsed. .
The document ends with an approval
of the project to complete a ship canal
from the gulf to the Great Lakes and
of (he irrigation program now contem-
plated by the government.

BASEBALL SENSATION OF YEAR.
Philadelphia's Sale of Rube Waddell
to St. Louis.
The sale of Rube Waddell to the
SI. Louis Browns ‘ was the baseball
sensation of (he year. No one thofight
Mack had any intention of letting
Rube out. lie was regarded as a fix-
ture'on the Athletic team, despite his
poor behavior during the past two
seasons.
Although only 32 years of age, Wad-
dell. in the baseball world, is regarded
as a veteran. There are a lot of peo-
ple who think he is all in or Mack
would have never let him get away.
Rube pitched his first professional en
to Oil City. He got the name there
and it has stuck to him throughout
his career. v
In 1898 Waddell pitched for Detroit
for a part of the season, and the fol-
lowing year he played with Columbus
and Louisville. In 1900 he shifted
to Pittsburg and Milwaukee; 1901, Chi-
cago, National league, and Los An-
geles; 1902, Los Angeles and Athletics.
Connie Mack really kidnaped him
when he persuaded him to jump Los
Angeles and come back to Philadel-
phia. He has been with Connie Mack
ever since. On numerous occasions
Connie has threatened to trade him,
but Rube would brace up every time
and pitch such marvelous ball that
Connie would change his mind.
There is quite a little mystery con-
nected with the sale of George Ed-
ward. Mack refuses to state what the
consideration Was, and McAleer, who
journeyed to Philadelphia to complete
the deal, would throw no light on the
subject. President Hedges informed
the St. Louis scribes that enough
money was paid for Rube to sink
ship, but this is to be doubted unless
the ship was full of holes.
Waddell has certainly had a meteor-
ic career in baseball. For the last
five years more has been written and
said about him than any other man
in the game. When he was the popu-
lar idol in Philadelphia the very men-
tion of his name as the probable
pitcher was enough to attract a big
crowd, it was a stunt for the Phila-
delphia management to say that Rube
would work on Saturday. Saturday is
a big day in Philly and any old pitch-
er could draw a big crowd. As a rule
Rube would warm up bad and lie
would be saved for Monday. Monday
Is a poor baseball day ordinarily, but
the Rube always got the money for
Mack.
Waddell has figured in more record-
breaking games than any other pitch-
er in the business and in the major-
ity of the games he has been returned
the victor. Most of his hard battles
have been with the Boston team and
Cy Young his opponent. With one ex-
ception the erratic one has been re-
turned the winner. Waddell opposed
Young when Cy made his great record
of shutting the Athletics out without
a hit, or pin and not allowing a man
to reach first base.
Although Waddell has pitched a
number of wonderful games, he has
never succeeded in pitching a no-hit
game. A number of one-hit games
have been worked by Rube, but up
to date he has failed to let a team
down hitless. His closest call was
two years ago in a game with Detroit.
Ty Cobb was the first man up In
tlie first inning, and he bunted the
ball down the first base line. Then
Rube fielded it in good style and could
