Luke Wrtalit Awumcs Duties nt Sec
retary of tho War Dciiartnscnt.
Washington, June ' 30. By the
terms of his resignation, presented to
President Roosevelt on June 18, Wil
liam H. Taft today retires from the
cabinet and la succeeded, as secre
tary of war, by Luke E, Wright of
Tennessee. Mr. Taft will Immediately
begin the organization of his cam
paign forces, and will meet here to
morrow with the sub-committee of
the republican national committee to
decide upon a chairman. Represen
atlve Sherman, candidate for vice
president, will also take part In the
conference. Several men are being
considered for the chairmanship, and
It is thought that a definite decision
will be reached as a 7. .".'It of toroor
row's meeting.
Luke Wright, the new sc-.vetury of
war. Is a Confederal '"'---r.n and
Democratic In his pnlltli.-.! t . His
selection la looked upon r clever
piece of diplomacy which1 muy result
In gaining many Taft voles In the
south.
Leaving the service of the wrecked
Confederacy at 21, Wright secured a
I'-jril education and began the practice
of law In Memphis. In 1810 he was
elected to his first Important political
office, that, of attorney-general for
Shelby county. In which Memphis I
located. As chairman of the citizens'
committee during the yellow fever
plague In Memphis In 1878, Wright
performed a heroic ta k.
Since then Ms career hss befn such
ss to admirably fit him for the high
office to which he has been called by
President Roosevelt. As a member of
the Philippine commission, later vice
governor and then governor of Uncle
Sam's Islands In the Far East, and
afterward ambassador to Japan, he
made a record for fidelity and ability
that gave him an International repu
(atlon.
Few men are more popular In thi
army than Luke Wright, and, despite
the fact that he was a Confederate
his appointment has been universal
ly commended by the leaders of th
Grand Army of the Republic and bj
Union Vetera rn generally.

year with bia new preparation has ex
ceeded anything of the kind ever be
fore witnessed In moat of the leading
cities where the young man baa Intro
duced the medicine. Cooper bag a
novel theory. Ha believes that the hu
man stomach Is directly responsible
for most disease. To quota bis own
words from an Interview upon his ar
rival la ati eastern city: "The average
man or woman cannot be sick It the
stomach ts working properly. To be
sure, there are diseases of a virulent
nature, such as cancer, tubnrculoals,
diabetes, etc., which are organic, and
are not traceable to the) stomach, but
even fevers can, in nine cases out of
ten, be traced to something taken Into
tho stomach. All of this half-sick,
nervous exhaustion that la now so
common, Is caused by the stomachic
conditions, and It Is because my rem

Mr. A. C. Brock, chef of the Brock
Restaurant, Market District. Boston, .
Mats., who Is a staunch believer In Mr.
Cooper's theory and medicine, bos this -to
gay: "I had chronlo Indication for
over three years. I suffered torribly,
and lost about thirty pounds. I was a
physical wreck when I started this
Cooper medicine, a month or so ago.
Today I am as well as I ever waa In
my life. I am no longer nervous, my
food does not dlutress me In the least,
and I have a splendid appetite. 1 am
gaining flesh tery rapidly in fact, at
the rite of a pound a day. I would
not believe any medicine on earth
could have done for me what this baa
done. It Is a remarkable preparation,
and Mr. Cooper deserves all bis suc
cess." i
Wo recommend the Cooper prnpnrv
Uona as being remarkable medicines.
