But having revolved the subject for months in his gigantic brain, Taft now brings forth these ideas in his Alaska message: “The construction of a railroad and oWnership in fee do not necessitate government operation.” ‘ 3 Why not? Because, argues the elephantine Taftian mind, we can lease “the railroad on terms which may be named and changed to meet the growing prosperity and development of the territory.” Surenuff. We can take millions of dollars out of the pockets of the American people, send out engineers and construction crews into the frozen mountains of the Far North, and create @ great trunk line to open the riches of that treasure house to the energies of men, And then, having furnished all the capital, done all the work and assumed all the risk, we can turn that rail- road over to a syndicate of Wall Street patriots and let them the its of the enterprise. wre cabs THEY WIN, TAILS WE LOSE. How the Guggenhcims should love Taft.. He has shown them how their own methods of exploiting Alaska may be beaten to a frazzle. Heretofore they have thought it necessary to dig the themselves to build railroads and get access to the mines of the interior, but Taft would have Uncle Sam build the railroad and then turn it over to rations to operate on “terms that may be varied and changed to meet the growing! ng rind and development of the territory.” thing may perhaps be said in favor of a policy that should give a rich reward to private capital in return for risks incurred in opening a new country to development, but abso- pren commer hebben aos: Repre aetge! the government assume tisks while private capital gets rich reward.

Jan, 20, 1912 Seatule, Wash.: such benefit from the use of y to write you this letter in the hope that it may be the means of inducing other sufferers from asthma to try your truly wonderful remedy. I have been for asthma for fifteen years by some of the best physicians and specialists in Philadelphia, Buffalo and Pittsburg, and have undergone two surcical operations in hopes of effecting a cure, but have never received any lasting benefit from any of them. In October, 1911, I began taking Sulphurro, know- ing it could not do any harm even if it did no good. In about two weeks I began to breathe better, and today I believe I am as free from asthma as any normal person could be, in spite of the heavy fogs common here and other conditions which were a dread to me in the East, 1 eat and better than I ever-have in my life and I have no cough at all. In fact, | am cured of asthma after having suf- fered for fifteen years, and I cannot thank you enough for having ‘iweek this placed your great discovery in my bands. Very truly yours, Gently it is doing worlds of good for the people who take it, for they are all most enthusiastic in its «| Draise.” The same story ts told in virtually every drug store in Seattle. Last paper had interviews With the manager of the Bartell drag stores, with the manager of Swift's stores, and with the Quaker Drug Company. They all pronounced Suiphurro the great seller of the time—nothing in their recollection equaling it. Window displays of Sulphurro were the feature last week in the downtown stores. Swift's win- dow, at the corner of Second and Pike street, has attracted great at- tention from the throngs that pass Third avenue, at Columbia, is an- other. The flaming banner, “Sul- phurro,” is seen in every drug store you enter. Buy It sp ab ed You Want. Nor is it the downtown drug stores that have Suiphurro. It ts to be found now in practically every place where drugs are sold through- out Seattle and its environs. Large demands are being made upon the C, M. C. Stewart Sulphur Company to supply other cities of the Northwest with Sulphurro. Tacoma has had already as great 6 demand for it, relatively, as ttle, and many of the most enthusiastic letters commendatory of Sulphurro come from the Commencement Bay metropolis. Bellingham, Everett, Anacortes and the cities to the north are sending in their requi- sitions daily, while it 1s te be bought all through the southwestern part of the state—Centralia, Chehalis, Aberdeen, Hoquiam, Raymond, South Bend and the other prosper. ous cities there, Outside the state the heaviest de- mand from any one city comes from Portland. That city has been plac- ing large orders within the past! week. California wants it and the Eastern states aro clamoring for it. The truth is that the wonderful de- mand for Sulpharro, springing up virtually in the twinkling of an eye, will stand as the record tn the annals of medicine and mark an epoch in its multitudes of cures. Prominent Men Sulphurro “Boosters.” Some of Seattle's best known men and women are Sulphurro’s most enthusiastic missionaries— “boosters.” There is a man well known in sporting circles. You've heard of him hundreds of times. He simply swears by it. He obtain- ed his first supply direct from Mr. Stewart, and early became one of the enthusiasts. Not only Is this man spreading by word of mouth the wonders of Sulphurro as he knows them, but he is constantly sending out supplies of Sulphurro at his own expense to friends whom he thinks {t will bene- fit in all parts of the country, Some of his shipments have gone to Min- neapolis, some to Los Angeles, to | Victoria, B.
