pulses. . . . Wo don't seo how an
unpleasant fact could have been
communicated in a manner more
considerate than this was although
Col. Watterson mistook the gover
nor's embarrassment for austerity
and an "autocratic, if not tyrannous,
manner."
Far bo it from us to attempt to
decide the many and complex ques
tions which this episode raises; we
do not know who was wholly right
or who was wholly wrong, or even
if anybody was; our only desiro js
to call attention to the number and
the complexity of the questions, and
to suggest the wisdom of suspending
judgment, of delaying harsii criti

clearer than it is now.

Smoke of Herbs
Cures Catarrh
A Simple, Safe, Reliable Way and It
Costs Nothing to Try.
This preparation of herbs, leaves,
flowers and berries' (containing no
tobacco or habit-forming drugs) is
either smoked in an ordinary clean
pipe or smoking tube, and by draw
ing the medicated smoke into the
mouth and , inhaling into the lungs
or sending it out through the nostrils
in a perfectly natural way, the worst
case of Catarrh can be eradicated.
Tt is not unpleasant to use, and at
the same time it is entirely harmless,
and can be used by man, woman or
cbild.
Just as Catarrh is contracted by
breathing cold or dust and germ
laden air, just so this balmy anti
septic smoking remedy goes to all the
affected parts of the air passages' of
the head, nose, throat and lungs. It
can readily be seen why the ordinary
treatments, such as sprays, oint
ments, salves, liquid or tablet medi
cines fail they do not and can not
reach all the affected parts.
If you have catarrh of the nose,
throat or lungs, choking, stopped-up
feeling, colds, catarrhal headaches;
if you are given to hawking and spit
ting, this simple yet scientific treat
ment should cure you.
An illustrated book which goes
thoroughly into the whole question
of the cause, cure and prevention of
catarrh will, upon request, be sent
you by Dr. J. W. Blosser, 144 Walton
street, Atlanta, Ga.
He will, also, mail you five days'
free treatment. You will at onoe see
that it is a wonderful remedy, and
as it only costs one dollar for the
regular treatment, it is within the
reach of everyone. It is not neces
sary to send any money simply
eend your name and address and the
booklet and free trial package will
toe mailed you immediately.
Nashvillo Tessessean: This inci
dent will probably serve as a signal
for opening the floodgates of "piti
less publicity" against the man who
has the courage at all times and
under all circumstances to give ex
pression to his convictions, faded
personal letters and musty records
will now be brought forth to dis
credit a man who stands pre-eminently
above his detractors as a bold
and able champion of popular rights.
Without disparagement to the other
excellent and able aspirants for the
presidency, it will not be amiss to
state an obvious fact that is, it is
now a fight of the whole field against
Woodrow Wilson.
Wilson knew it. Then why not say
it?
If wo cannot commend the tact
of theso replies, wo must give due
applause to their candor, and wo
must admit that, if Woodrow Wilson
is a new kind of charactor in Ameri
can politics, ho is also a refreshing
kind.
There appears to bo a deadset in
certain democratic quarters to "got"
Wilson. This is in some sort a con
fession that he is the leading candidate.
Milwaukee Journal: Col. Watter
son knew that Harper's was hurting
Wilson; Col. Harvey suspected it;
but the governor ought to have said,
"Not at all, George; it's just what
I like. I'd rather Btay on the edi
torial page of Harper's than go to
the White house any day."

Washington Star: If things are
exactly what they seem, wo have in
this affair something unusual. The
grooming of Woodrow Wilson for a
political career was accounted at the'
start a Wall street maneuver. As a
disoiple of Mr. Cleveland and one
who had botb spoken and written
severely acainst Mr. Bryan and
Brvanism, he was suggested for
leader of forres to turn tho democ
racy back to ts old camping ground.
"Rut, instend, as soon as installed in
office at Trenton, with Washington
looming up, he went over body and
breeches to Brvanism, and talks
more radically today than Mr. Bryan
himself. A more complete change
was never made by a man seeking
hteh political office in this country. Tt
has cost him heavilv in the east.
Will his break with Col. Harvey, for
tlie reason apsiened, injure him in
the south and west? A tip on that
point should soon be forthcoming.
Atlanta Constitution: For the
close friendship existing between the
men. for th.o fact that Col. Harvev.
of all men in America, hasa prior
lien upon the gratitude and confi
dence of Governor Wilson, it is to
be hoped the report will in some
manner prove to be a mistake. By
whatever motives actuated, from
whatever source advised, Governor
Wilson can be left in none other
than an extremely unpleasant light
by the status as it now exists, and
as created upon his own initiative.
Minneapolis Journal: It was a
practical question, as is shown by
Watterson's having carried the sug
gestion to both Wilson and Harvey.
Why, then, should a practical answer
cause such Wattersonian grief?
Governor Wilson apparently Is
suffering all the evil effects of be
ing frank and lneenuous. Did he
applv for a Carneele pension? Yes,
he did, and he didn't see why he
shouldn't. He believed that under
the rules he was entitled to the
benefits of the foundation for the
advancement of teaching. Did he
write a letter to Mr. Joline about
Col. Bryan? No squirming or twist
ing, but a simple avowal that he did.
Was Harvey's support a source of
weakness in some places? Tt was.
Harvey knew it. Harvey knew that
