Senate of his views on the subject.
Daniel Supports President’s Power.
Senator Daniel, of Vlrglnin, thereup
on secured the floor. In the main, he
supported the President, saying: "From
the beginning of the history of the
country there him never been a ques
tion of the power of the President to
drop from the roll any private soldier.
The people ought not to he deceived by
nriy misunderstanding on this subject.
Public sentiment should always stand
hv the rhief Kxeeutlve ami. command-
er-in-e.hlef of the army when he is
clear In his great office, and in this
case I think he Is clear.”
Senator Daniel did not. however, en
dorse the position of the President In
forever debarring from entering the
civil service the men discharged from
the army.
"1 think In that rose pec'," he said,
"the arrow' from his bow went too
far.”
Mr. Daniel analysed the articles of
war and army reguatlons to sustain
his conclusion that the power to dis
miss Is equal and conclusive in the
President, the Secretary of War, the
commander of a department and a
court martini. This, he said, had been
so for a hundred years, and must ne
cessarily be so.
“I tint neither the lover, the friend
nor the advocate of autocratic power.”
be said, "but no people in all the tide
of time have ever been able to make
an aggressive or defensive war with
out pursuing It through the discipline
and organization of urmioR by putting
power into the hands of those who
command It."
Referring to the army regulations,
Mr. Daniel said they are made by the
President, "and,” he continued, "what
ever other criticism has been made up
on the present President from the
Republican side of this chamber, none
have ever intimated that he Is en
gaged In seeking to curtail his own
power. In fact, some have delicately in
timated that he was seeking to extend
It beyond the lines which they would
prescribe us legitimate and proper."
Justifying Democratic support for
the position of the President. Mr. Dan
iel said: "Nothing has ever prevented
anybody coming from South of the
Potomac from declaring his honest
Judgment as to the meaning of the Con
stitution nor In upholding the power of
the President and the army on all oc
casions where patriotism invoked adhe
sion or where clear understanding pro
duced conviction "
No Prejudice* for Negro.
Mr. Daniel denied that the race
question was Involved, "and.” he ex
claimed. "may God forbid that the peo
ple of the United States shall raise
racial questions when 1t is possible for
them to avoid them.”
He proceeded: “I have no particle
of prrludiec against the colored peo
ple. If I felt that they had beer, un
justly dealt with In this cafe, there is
not n man on this floor more willing
than 1 would be to defeat them. But
it Is not the color of a soldier’s skin
which gives him any right, and we
should teach the colored men of the
United Stat es even ns we teach the
•white men that obedience to the law.
.whatever that law may be. is the first
Ldutv of a soldier, and the man who
Uoea not obey shall feel its power."
' Mr. Daniel ridiculed the suggestion,
Which he said had been mysteriously
hinted at. "that the people of Rrowns-
Vllle 'shot up’ their own town in order
to bring reproaeli on the co’orpd sol
diers. In nil the Southern outrages I
hgve over heard of." continued Mr.
Daniel, "this Is the first time that the
human mind hud been distorted into
the suggestion that a Southern town
was shooting up Itself.
"If this had been a white company,"
continued Mr. Daniel, "whether from
Connecticut or Virginia, we would have
had nr. public meetings on the subject.
No sermons would have been preach
ed: no churches would have been
nroused and diverted from their relig
ious devotions."
Mr. Daniel favored an Investigation.
"Get all the evidence you can." he said,
"hut do not impugn the President and
the military law. To sustain the Pres
ident." he said In conclusion, "is not
friendship for autocracy; it is simply
friendship for Government; It is re
spect for the law."
Senator Foraker asked that the
•Brownsville resolution go over until to
morrow and the order was made.

DEFENSE OF NEGROES

WASHINGTON, Jan. V—Ill the
Il"'jse today Mr. Slayder.. of Texas.
.'Kr at length on the Brownsville nf-
f;,ir. H>- said there was no doubt that
;pc negro troops had been responsible
for that disturbance and contended that
if they had been white men their dis
charge would have been generally en-
d,,:v.d. He charged that the defense
Of tile negroes was due to political re.i-
.,,ns. Mr. Slevden also reviewed the
r< or.l of the Twenty-fifth Infantry,
showing that some portions of i: had
l„.rn Involved in other affairs which
won- not creditable to them. Instances
,,f lawlessness by other negro regiments
were also detailed. In declaring the
negro race to be unfit for American
soldiers, the Texas Congressman said
h. had in view only the circumstances
of their service. He did not impeach
their physical courage. "This Is a
virtue," he said, "that belongs to near
ly all men. and If there is any differ-
r'nee between savage and civilized man
in this respect, the superiority possibly

Mr. Slavden spoke of the sympathy
that welds people into a- homogenous

it "has never existed and never will
exist between negroes .and Caucas
ians."

THE SHAH OF PERSIA
HAS PASSED AWAY
LONDON. Jan. 8.—The Daily Mail's
correspondent at Teheran in a tele
gram sent last night at 11:30 o’clock
says:
"The Shah of Persia died this eve
ning, though no public announcement
of the fact will be made until tomor
row (Wednesday). It was evident yes
terday (Monday) that the end was
rapidly approaching and at 5 o’clock in
the evening the heir apparent and the
ministers were summoned. The women
of tile palace also began preparations
for mourning.
'Soon after sunset the doors of the
harem were closed. This was the sign
that all was over.
"The news of the Shah’s death reach
ed the foreign minister late this eve
ning, but the public is still unaware of
his Majesty's end. The streets are de
serted and the city is in darkness."

Ion. The report of the com-
mltoe was adopted and a committee of
seven will be appointed to prepare the
prospectus of the corporation and send
them to county organizations for sub
scriptions. Subscription to the stock
is limited to cotton growers and no one
is allowed over one-tenth of one per
cent of the whole capital stock.
All the old officers of the association
were re-elected: Harvle Jordan, pres
ident; J. R. Williams, vice-president:
F. G. Schell, secretary, and J. Y.
Blitch. treasurer. Officers salaries to
b,- liberal and fixed by executive com
mittee.
The question of acreage this year
came up and the association pledged
itself to ten acres to the plow, the
usual acreage running from twelve to
twenty-five to the plow. This acreage
is about the same as this year, which
is fifty per cent less than the season
of 1905.
Delegates from the South Carolina
sea island growers were before ihe
association to get data as to yield in
Georgia and Florida, the amount of
cotton planted yield to the acre, aver
age price, cost of seed and other mat
ters of that character to be used by
the Carolina sea island growers in dis
posing of their seed. They have refus
ed to sell seed to outsiders during the
past year or two because of the large
exportations of seed to foreign coun
tries and also because of the increas
ing crops of Georgia and Florida.
The association, by a rising vote,
pledged its support socially and finan
cially to President Harvie Jordan in
his fight on the New York Stock Ex
change and any action that it may
bring against them.
Reports indicated that the present
crop will not be over 55.500 bales and
many members believe the price will
go to 40 cents per pound.

Was Picturesque Ruler.
LONDON, Jan. 9.—The death of the
Shah removes a picturesque ruler who
was well known to Western Europe,
owing to his frequent visits, particu
larly to France, where he enjoyed the
pleasures of Paris life. During the
visit of 1905 the Shah and his suite
made a dazzling appearance on the
Boulevards and in the music halls of
Paris. They were treated as national
guests and given a truly royal wel
come. while popular enthusiasm was
marked owing to the Shah's good na
ture and lavish charity. The Shah's
death comes at a time when European
governments are engaged in a strug
gle to strengthen the position in Per
sia. This struggle is due to the geo
graphical position of Persia a* a buf
fer between the British possessions of
India and Russia's southern posses
sions stretching toward the Persian
gulf.
The late Shah was strongly pro-
Russlan, and as a result Russian influ
ence has been predominant at Tehe
ran.
The Japanese, however, so weakened
Russia that her hold upon Persia
somewhat relaxed. British policy
thereupon sought to join interest with
Russln instead of antagonizing her. As
a result, an Anglo-Russian understand
ing has recently been negotiated. By
thip arrangement Great Rritain and
Russia will unite in a Joint policy
whereby each safeguards Us Interest.
At the same time Germany has been
extending her influence in Persia:
German physicians attended the Shah
during his last Illness, and the estab
lishment of a German bank gives the
first competition to these Russian and
British hanks.

ATLANTA, Jan. 8—A spirited dis
cussion of the prohibition election was
indulged in by the members, of the
Evangelical Ministers' Association of
Atlanta at. their regular monthly meet
ing held yesterday.
The "discussion” was more of an ex
pression of views and was brought
about by an introduction of the resolu
tions adopted by the Anti-Saloon
League at its meeting last Friday
night, and which were presented to
the association this morning for its in-
[ dorsement. In substance, the resolu-
| tions were as follows:
"That the members of the present
I Legislature from Fulton County be re-
i quested to lend their support to a
J measure, or to introduce such a meas-
J ure at the next session of the Legis-
| lature. looking to State prohibition, and
| that it he specifically stated in the bill
| that Fulton County be included in the
number of counties affected by the
bill: and that in the meantime the cir
culation of petitions be continued for
presentation to the Representatives of
this county showing the sentiment of
the voters concerning ihe abolition of
the whisky traffic in this county."
The resolutions also went further
and declared that the Anti-Saloon
League Is not bound by the authorities
of the city and any action the City
Council or any other authority may
take in the whisky question will not
affect its movements in any particular.

NETT' YORK. Jan. S.—Attorney-Gen
eral Wm. Schuyler Jackson had not
tonight been able to locate all the bal
lot boxes used in the McClellan-Hearst
mayoralty election entrusted to his
possession by a supreme court order
and intimated that he might be obliged
to bring contempt proceedings against
the board of elections. Certain boxes
containing ballots cast in Manhattan
were stored under the direction of the
board, and a search that continued un
til late today failed to reveal their
whereabouts. According to the attor
ney-general, Commisioner Pooling re
fused to surrender these particular bal
lot boxes or make known where they
could be found.
To Prevent Tampering With Boxes.
To prevent, he says, possible tam
pering with the ballots which may be
needed for a recount under the action
begun by the State to oust Mayor Mc
Clellan and seat Wm. Re Hearst as
Mayor, Attorney-General Jackson, act
ing under orders from tho supreme
court, caused raids to be made eariy
today at such storage places through
out Greater New York as were known
to his representatives. After some de
lay, the greater number of the boxes
were located, newly sealed and placed
under guard of officers representing
the attorney-general. It was toward
night when a hitch developed in Man-
| hattan and the deputies assigned to
the work reported that many boxes
| stored in that borough could not be lo
cated. Later, Commissioner Dooling
] was found at the office of Corporation
Counsel Eillson and formally served
with a copy of Justice Hendricks’ order
commanding those in custody of the
ballot boxes to deliver tho same to tho
attorney-general. Air. Jackson said
that the commissioner refused to obey
the court order, which, the attorney-
general added, will, however, have to
f the few. pro
trusts and monopo-
many of which are organized for
purpose of crushing out competi
tion and which have hern robbing the
people of untold millions.”
Air. Overman pictured the end of
State sovereignty as the result of the
present desire of encroachment on the
reserved rights of the people. If more
power is needed, he suggested, the
way is clear. "Let an amendment be
submitted to the States. In any event
let the people be consulted: let their
sacred will be known: let their con
sent be given to the surrender of many
of their rights. Without their consent
let nothing be done by an unwarrant
ed construction."
Mr. Overman held there was no limit
to the power of Congress to deal with
commerce which is interstate in its na
ture. He heartily endorsed recent
measures exercising this control, such
as the rate bill, the pure food law and
the meat inspection regulation. There
was a decided distinction between reg
ulating interstate comnierae and mak
ing regulations concerning
production which might
become interstate commerce,
latter class of industry,
There has been an indiscriminate
crusade against American commercial
enterprises. This most extraordinary
ATTACK UPON BUSINESS corpora
tions has involved manufacturers of
nearly all kinds, has spared few pro*
ducers of any sort.
Each and every one of these enterprises perhaps deserved some criticism.
Whether their opponents have dealt with them justly or not, they are prompt
ly adjusting themselves to the new conditions, and demonstrating to the
business world that in the larger things they have been governed by sound
financial integrity, even if in some few particulars the times were ripe for
reform.
Like other great industries. THE PATENT MEDICINE INDUSTRY is
coming in for its share of censure. Secrecy of composition has been the main
war-cry against these medicines.
It was admitted on the part of patent medicine manufacturers, that their
formulae were kept secret They felt obliged to do this, in order to prevent
imitators from imposing on the public. After a proprietor had spent hundreds
of thousands of dollars in advertising a remedy, the secrecy of his formula was
his only protection agaiast others stepping in and reaping the reward of his
tremendous outlay in advertising.
The unwillingness of patent medicine manufacturers to reveal the in
gredients of their compound was perfectly natural. They felt that they de
served protection from the government the same as any other citizen who
procures a patent on an invention or a process. BUT THIS CONSIDERA
TION DID NOT KEEP BACK THE CRITICS.
The agitation was kept up until Congress enacted a law making it obliga
tory on the part of such manufacturers to expose certain ingredients on the
label of each package.
It was thought best to include alcohol in the list of objectionable ingred
ients. This being the only objectionable ingredient contained in Peruna, the
manufacturer of this very excellent remedy promptly obeyed the law.
Indeed, he voluntarily went farther than this. Dr. Hartman, after serious
consideration of the matter, has concluded to put PLAINLY ON TH^ T-ABif.

one, yet from this time on we have concluded to take Peruna out of the list of

We now offer Peruna to the

PRINCIPAL ACTIVE INGREDIENTS are prominently incorporated in tht
label on the bottle, that the people may know that the claims made for Peruna
have a true justification.
The only departure we shall make from medical ethics in the conduct of
Peruna affairs in the future, is th8 fact that we shall continue to advertise and
sell our product TO THE PEOPLE.
If we would agree to sell to doctors only, to advertise for doctors only, then
the medical fraternity would be obliged to recognize Peruna as being entirely
within their approval.
BUT WE SHALL NOT DO THIS.
We shall continue to offer Peruna to the people. We shall continue to
