Louisville. Ky.. April 29.—Following
11 a part of an editorial by Henry Wat-
terson. In The Louisville Courier-
Journal, this morning:
">lr. Roosevelt has broken all the
records. Tyler. Fillmore, Johnson and
Arthur long ago paled their Ineffectual

himself. Nothing seems to feaae hi—
Doing wrong things outright, or good
things In the wrong way: backing and

Issues of veracity with the proof

porlier and a rash assailant; a prac

purists; Inconelstent as a conienrattve;
Illogical as a radical—there still exists
In the popular mind a fixed belief In
his essential virtue. In hie good Inten

From a distance it seems to be this.
Taft, entered by the president, first

A-pattern that pleases by its simplicity.
Our “solid” flatware is not solid silver. It is not a plated
ware. It is made .especially for us of a composition metal
which has the appearance of solid silver and of the same ma
terial all the way through.
Each'piece is guaranteed never to wear off or show a dark
metal underneath, as plated ware invariably does.
It can be polished when necessary just. as any sterling
silverware is polished.
The prices are remarkably low for a table ware which
has all the merits that can be credited to this.
Each piece is stamped “C-J-DuB Co. Solid,” which means
we stand behind it.
No charge for engraving.
