IS DISTRIBUTING The accuracy of no book has ever been better attested than that of "The American Government," by Frederic J. Haskin, which is now being offered to the readers of The Tribune Republican. The thirty chapters were read and approved by the thirty most eminent authorities of the government before the book was allowed to go to the printer. The author finished his work Just about the time the extra session of the Sixty third congress was adjourning. Every official of the government was busy as7 a bee getting ready for adjournment the long deferred vacation.

President Taft was overwhelmed by cabinet and congressional affairs, and by the calls of senators, representatives and other He simply could not take the time under such stress to read the chapter on The Presidency, so in a minute's talk with Mr. Haskin, he said he would put it in his pocket and read it on the way to The next day he wrote the author an autograph letter pronouncing it interesting and accurate. Vice President Sherman called his corps of senate employes around him on a Sunday afternoon and read aloud to them the chapter on the Senate, making pencil notations on the margin of the manuscript of the changes he deemed necessary. Speaker Champ Clark was going to Virginia to rest over Sunday, so he took the chapter on The House of Representative along with him on the trip. The chapter on the Panama Canal had to travel more than four thousand miles.

It was sent to Col. George W. Goethals, chairman and chief engineer of the Panama Canal. He read it and changed two words. Then he sent it back with the laconic endorsement, u.

w. Cr. Perhaps' the chapter which was gone 'over most of all was the one on The Postal Service." Postmaster General Hitchcock had each of the fdur assistant postmaster generals, and about everybody else in the department who knew anything about the postal service to go through the manuscript with a fine tooth comb to make sure that all the statements in it were correct. Some of the chapters had to follow their sponsors away on vacation jaunts, and others had to intercept tlfe officials on business trips, but finally the last chapter passed through the process, and the book was sent to press more completely vouched for by eminent authorities than any other volume that ever has been issued in this country. If you will save the coupons from The Tribune Republican and procure a copy, you will be more than repaid for the slight trouble and expense.
