& FORUM OF THE WEEKLY PRESS &. .
' ' L
Yukon (0. T.) Sun: This republic
can do more good by petting a wise ex
ample than by trying to revolutionize
the world by force. ,
Versailles (Mo.) Loader: There is
no goldbugism in the Leader's make--up.
It Is strictly democratic and
stands by democratic administrations.
Hempstead (Tex.) News: It seems
that the democrats In the present con
gress, are not in entire harmony. That's
the way, boys, split up, divide your
strength, do nothing and play into the
hands of the republicans.
Pineville (Mo.) Democrat: Demo
crats in congress should insist upon a
record vote being taken upon any
proposition to appropriate money to
send any special American represen
tative to the coronation of the British
king; it will be useful to the voters
next November.
Rogers (Tex.) News: What busi
ness has this country to participate In
the coronation of King Edward? Is
not the very existence of our republic
a protest against kingcraft? Has im
perialism brougbt our authorities to
the point that they no longqr have
pride in a people's government?
Crawford (Neb.) Bulletin: We are
a great people and pride 'ourselves on
the ability of Uncle Sam to whip John
Bull, Kaiser Wilhelm, or any other
"big gun," but it is disgusting to wit
ness how meekly we crawl and snuff
the dust at the feet of a few gold-loving
money changers.
Bellaire (0.) Democrat: From the
extensive preparations made to send
some of our favorites to the coronation
of King Edward and the flutter stirred
up by the approaching visit of Prince
Henry, it would seem we have forgot
ten Valley Forge and New Orleans,
and are preparing to make our Imper
ial policy the real thing.
Vancouver (Wash.) Register-Democrat:
Now that we are to establish
prison pens and "reconcentrado"
camps in the Philippines, it is due from
Spain to call us down "in the interest
of humanity." In that event we might
sell to Spain for twenty millions our
option on the fight. . But Spain Is too
clever. Oh, but they soaked it to us
on that deal.
Beeyille (Tex.) Picayune: The sil
ver plank was not put into the demo
cratic platform on account of its
brightness, but its justness, and be
cause the platform has been beaten
twice it does not affect the principle
it stands for; nor does it prove the
principle wrong. We are in favor of
sticking to the silyer plank for the
same reason that it was put in the
platform, "Nothing is settled' till set
tled right."
Belief onto (Pa.) Watchman: Little
Kermit Roosevelt has been playing
havoc with the fish in the White house
aquarium and a few days ago thu
youngster was found with several shell
fish and, with some youthful friends,
was just preparing tQ scoop the gold
fish out of their tank when the cus
todian caught him. Now, no one would
object much if Kermit would take his
crowd down to the navy department
and catch the lobster that has been
floating around there for a few years.
Woodsfleld (0.) Spirit of Democracy:
What is the matter? Such an exodus
of secretaries of departments, assis
taut secretaries, heads of bureaus, and
Other high officials has never been
known before in the midst of an ad
ministration. Did McKinloy surround
himself with unworthy officials? Or
is the new president distasteful to the
old liners? It seems McKInley's offi
cial household are complying with
their promise to remain during Roose
velt's administration very touch as he
complies with his promise to adhere
strictly to Mr. McKInley's policy.
Knox (Ind.) Democrat: ; The fact

that living and actlw trusts have far
more influence in shaping republican
policies than the sentiments expressed
by a dead president is being demon
strated beyond any doubt. In several
of President McKInley's last public
addresses ho strongly urged tho ex
tension of reciprocity treaties, and cor
rectly argued that thoy would benefit a
largo majority of tho people of this
country. It looks extremely probable,
however, that his advico will bo
ignored at tho behest and In tho in
terest of the trusts,
Durango (Colo.) Democrat: The
New York Tribune asserts that tho
democratic press "misconstrues the
meaning of many remarks that Presi
dent Roosevelt engages in." Possibly
from the Tribune's point of view and
comment we do. For instance, Roose
velt said he would "carry out the Mc-
Kinley policy," now is it natural to
suppose that our strenuous executive
meant that ho would carry it out in
the back yard and throw it in tho
sewer, or In a hole, the Tribune's view
of It.
Pipestone (Minn.) Leader: The new
ship subsidy bill was recommended
for passage last week, and js now in
the hands of congress. Tho bill may
become a law, but the party whip
Will bo brought into play before the
final vote is taken. Tho steal Is too
bold and would bo smothered without
cerempny if it were not for the fact
that it is fostered by party bosses
Who will profit thereby and who are
determined not to be foiled in this
their second attempt to get the bill
through.
GOOD LIVING
Quite often results in bad health, because
what is termed "good living" is usually
the gratification of the palate without
reference to the nutrition of the body.
When the good liver is a business man
nnn rises ironi a
full meal to plunge
nt once into work
requiring mental
eflbrt the result is
almost sure to be
disastrous, because
digestion draws
upon the same
nervous forces
which are em
ployed in thought.
In time the stom
ach becomes dis
eased, the pro
cesses of digestion
and nutrition are
imperfectly per
formed and there
is a physical
breakdown.
