debate in the house recently , proposed
that a little money might be made by
renting the bath tubs out , said recent
ly , apropos of this subject :
"We are now a good deal like Bill
Spriggins on a zero morning.
"Bill's valet entered his bedroom
one January morning and said with a

" 'Will you take your bath hot or

He was the small son of a minister
and his mother was teaching him the
meaning of courage.
"Supposing , " she said , "there were
twelve boys in one bedroom , and
eleven got Into bed at once , while the
other knelt down to say his prayers
that boy would show true , courage. "
"Oh , " said the young hopeful , "I
ow something that would be more
courageous than that ? Supposing
.there . were twelve ministers in one
bedroom , and one got into bed with
out saying his prayers ! "

There are stomach specialists as

ists.One
One of these told a young lady , of
New Brunswick , N. J. , to quit medi
cines and eat Grape-Nuts. She says :
"For about 12 months I suffered se
verely with gastritis. I was unable
to retain much of anything on my
etomach , and consequently was com
pelled to give up my occupation.
"I took quantities of medicine , and
had an idea I was dieting , but I con
tinued to suffer , and soon lost 15
pounds in weight. I was depressed
in spirits and lost interest in every
thing generally. My mind was so af
fected that It was impossible to be
come interested in even the lightest
reading matter.
"After suffering for months I de
cided to go to stomach specialist.
He put me on Grape-Nuts and my
health began to improve immediately.
It was the keynote of a new life.
"I found that I had been eating too
much starchy food which I did not di
gest , and that the cereals which I had
tried had been too heavy. I soon
proved that it is not the quantity of
food that one eats , but the quality.
"In a few weeks I was able to go
back to my old business of doing cler
ical work. I'have continued to eat
Grape-Nuts for both the morning and
evening meal. I wake in the morning
with a clear mind and feel rested. I
regained my lost weight in a short
time. I am well and happy again and
-owe It to Grape-Nuts. " Name given

WAY TO SUCCESS OPEN
VISE ADVICE TO THE DEMO
CRATIC PARTY.
Its Mission In the Service of the People
ple Is Clear Must Honestly Ful
fill Pledges and Be Progres
sive and Conservative.
This is not the first 'occasion on
which the door of opportunity has been
opened to the Democracy and they
have shut It on themselves. Let them
remember "the landslide" of 1892 and
its consequences. The same thing
may easily occur again. Titus is still
before the gates. By 1912 the shat
tered and shaken forces of Privilege
will have recovered from their over
throw and the fight will have to be
made over again. Only by uniting on
the fundamental principles and ma
king mutual concessions as to per
sonal interests can the Democracy
hope to win. If they falter the party
is lost. The principles will some day
be victorious , but the Democratic
party will have lost the glory of the
victory. . . .
The Democracy has before it a
clear , if difficult , mission to estab
lish the rights of the people accord
ing to the constitution , and to make
it plain that among these rights is
the right to acquire and .hold and use
property in any manner not incon
sistent with the rights of others and
only so. If the rights of the people
and this property right are conflict
ing , then is this latter no right , for
the rights of the people are the su
preme law. . . .
The Democracy must be at once
both progressive and conservative. It
must honestly fulfill its pledges. It
must meet bravely the questions aris
ing out of the new conditions of which
we hear so much , and it must con
serve those rights of the individual
on which our security has been based
in the past. Nor is this reconcile
ment as difficult as some would have
us believe. We are , It is true , drifting
into new seas ; but we have a chart by
which we may steer safely , however
perilous the tides that swing and
sway us and the rocks and reefs that
appear in our course. Its name is the
constitution. It it was drawn by a
body of wise , experienced and pa
triotic men , whose minds were set on
one thing civil liberty through the
perpetuation of Republican institu
tions. Thomas Nelson Page , in the
North American Review.
Opportunity of the South.
No sensible man , certainly no one
friendly to the south , wishes to see
the tariff made a sectional question.
The course of Mr. Clark and Mr. Un
derwood tends to prevent this. They
stand not only with their own party
throughout the country , but with the
strong public sentiment in support of
tariff reduction that has divided the
Republican party , and thrown the
house into the hands of the Demo
crats. When we say that in this they
are serving their own section , we
have in mind the important fact tiiat
they are bringing to bear on national
affairs the intelligence and strength
of their section , and giving it the op
portunity to take a leading part in the
affairs of the nation. They are un
dermining the unfortunate sectionalIsm -
Ism that has , perhaps unavoidably ,
pervaded southern politics for a long
time. They are ranging the south on
the side of progress and in the line
of the most significant movement of
national opinion that has manifested
itself in years. Nothing is more cer
tain than that our vast and intricate
and oppressive tariff system is to be
reformed , and its reform is. bound to
be the one task of statesmanship in
the next few years. It can be deter
mined , and under certain conditions
it can be led by the men of the
south. New York Times.
Reciprocity and Public Welfare.
President Taft seeks the benefits of
reciprocity in the quickest way. In
stead of negotiating a treaty which
could not become effective without
ratification by a two-thirds vote of the
senate , he has negotiated an agree
ment which can be enacted into law
by a majority vote of the two houses.
It now remains for the American
people to make their attitude with re
gard to this agreement so clear and
emphatic that congress will not dare
to put it into cold storage. It ought
to be adopted ! The welfare of the
country demands It , and the leaders of
the Republican party in congress
ought to be wise enough to see that
antagonism will be resented. Roch
ester Post-Express.
As to Ballinger.
A strong disposition to sidetrack
the Ballinger investigation report is
evident in the action of the house
agricultural committee , to which it
was referred. It is "up to" Mr. Bal
linger to have that committee bring
the matter before the house , but Mr.
Ballinger , it is safe to say , will do
nothing of the kind. Almost any
man , boasting of being in the right
.and sensitive to criticism , would in
sist upon action.
Business Management and Post Office.
"If any private corporation had the
privileges and monopolies enjoyed by
the post office it would make money
too fast to count. The post office de
partment is the only corporation In
the world that does $224,000,000 worth
of business and yet loses money. "
Don C. Seitz , In World's Work.
HARMONY WITHIN THE PARTY
With That , Democratic Opportunity
Was Never So Great as at
the Present Moment.
What chiefly characterized the
Democratic lovefeast in Baltimore
was the independence of tone with
which the distinguished guests dis
cussed the future of the party instead
of making a mere parrot-like repeti
tion of a cast-iron program. While
there were differences of opinion as
to means on the one essential fea
ture of Democratic national policy ,
"a tariff for revenue only , " the con
ference was marked by the utmost
harmony and enthusiasm. What Gov
ernor Harmon of Ohio ably urged In
behalf of a revenue tariff Senator
Bailey of Texas and Representative
Clark of Missouri indorsed. Whether
the work be accomplished by sched
ules or as a whole , this is the only
solid and substantial ground on which
the Democratic party can successfully
appeal to the American people. As a
tariff for revenue only as a means of
carrying on the government involves
"the greatest good to the greatest
number , " or the least harm to the
greatest number , there can be no turn
ing aside from it to heed the shriek
of locality or to grant favors to in
dividuals or combinations.
What has been highly proclaimed in
Baltimore it will be for the Demo
cratic house of representatives to
translate into acts. While firmly ad
hering to this policy until it can be
fully accomplished , practical legisla
tive wisdom will demand in the in
terest of an over-burdened people the
acceptance of such concessions as
may be made by a protectionist sen
ate. But , as there is a large , liberal
and progressive element in the pro-
tectional majority of the senate , the
Democrats of the house will have rea
son to anticipate an agreement in
favor of substantial reductions of the
exorbitant schedules of duties on tex
tile fabrics and iron and steel. In
short , the senate in the next congress
will be a very different body so far as
the tariff is concerned from that
which was led to forge the Payne-Aid-
rich bill. Philadelphia Record.
Remedy Up to Congress.
It is becoming tolerably evident
that the closing session of this con <
gress will accomplish nothing except
a big lot of appropriations. A large
share of the president's program will
be left on the shelves. All this is ex
cused by the fact that the session is
so short.
There is a large percentage of hum
bug in that plea. Congress could do
a great deal In three months if it
wished to. If it was run for business
instead of maneuvering for political
position , manufacturing campaign
thunder and engineering private pulls ,
the record would be very different.
Yet if public business must be left
undone because the second session of
each congress Is too short the re *
sponsibility still rests with that body.
It is authorized by the constitution to
establish by law another date than the
first Monday In December for its
meetings. So whatever view is taken
of the inability of congress to do any
thing every second winter the fault
lies in Its own inaction.
A Tariff Commission.
We have strong hopes that the tar
iff commission plan will succeed in
the senate , as well as in the house
of this congress. Some of the sena
tors will oppose it , and will try to
wear out the session until a vote can
not be reached in a bodyMhat has no
means of shortening debate. But
means may be found of securing a
vote , and the vote should be favor
able. Such a result would diminish
tariff agitation. The diminution of
that would encourage business. The
encouragement of business would
stimulate "capital" and should make
"labor" hopeful , because employed
much and well paid. Common sense
views could displace abstractions , un
til eventually there should be no
more "politics" in a tariff law than in
a bill of lading. It is earnestly to be
desired that a sane senate on this
question will sustain a sane house
and a sane president. Brooklyn
Eagle.
Reciprocity and Democratic Victory.
When confronted with evidence of
the growth of tariff reform sentiment
in the country the Republican organs
used to say that , nevertheless , there
was one more Republican presidential
victory in the tariff. We can tell the
Republicans now that there is a sure
presidential victory for the Democrats
in the Canadian reciprocity agreement
If they reject it. The agreement , as
President Taft has said , is of national
scope. It will interest the people and
they will understand it as they have
never understood a tariff bill , because
it directly affects consumers , because
it reduces import duties on articles
of universal consumption. New York
Times.
Hardly !
There is really no reason for couht %
ing Indiana as a doubtful state in the
next presidential election. Repub
lican reverses have been the result
of local instead of national differences
In the party. Editor Sefrit of the
Washington ( Ind. ) Herald.
Perhaps ; but as the Democrats car
ried the state ticket by about 12,000
plurality , and elected their congress
men by over 30,000 plurality , it doesn't
look exactly that way. Indianapolis
News.
OPTION BILL CHEERED
FIVE THOUSAND "DRYS" GATHER
AT ILLINOIS CAPITAL.
Temperance Army , Accompanied by
Bands , Make Remarkable Demon
stration for Wilson Measure.
Springfield , 111. County local
option , backed up by the great
est "lobby , " numerically speaking ,
that ever came to Springfield , be
came the overshadowing leading issue
before the Illinois legislature. At least
five thousand men and women were
in the city to wage battle against
King Alcohol.
In the shadow of the state house
the anti-saloon forces marched and
countermarched to the tunes of "On
ward , Christian Soldiers , " while In the
house chamber Representative George
H. Wilson of Qulncy introducd the
county option bill.
After exhibiting their strength in
t
the street parades , they massed in the
state arsenal , where the decorations
of the Taft banquet were still in
place. At two meetings they packed
the great building with the greatest
throngs it has held since 1904 and
the time of the Republican and the
Democratic conventions.
The state house was almost desert
ed. Lawmakers in droves went across
the way to hear the speeches and see
the display. The noise of the band *
and the shouts of the delegates were
so loud that it was hard to keep the
mind on legislative affairs , anyhow.
SOCIETY SEES PRIZE FIGHT
Anthony J. Drexel , Jr. , and Hon. Roi >
ert Beresford Have Knockout
Battle in Gould Gymnasium.
New York. The family of George
J. Gould and a score of guests , in
cluding some of the most prominent
society men and women of New York
and London , saw Anthony J. Drexel ,
Jr. , and Hon. Robert Beresford fight
to a knockout In the Gould's private
gymnasium at Lakewood , N. J.
Drexel , although he put up a plucky
and clever fight , was floored repeat
edly by the * English amateur cham
pion , and was so helpless at the end
of the third round that his seconds
dragged him from the ring and ad
mitted a knockout.
At the most exciting stages of the
encounter women In evening gowns
arose and cried applause to the fight
ers.
ers.The
The battle was terrific while It last
ed , and one expert sporting man who
was present said it was as good a "go"
as he had even seen In the prize ring.
Both Beresford and Drexel distin
guished themselves by their thorough
sportsmanship.
When Drexel In the last round stood
with his feet wide apart and his hands
hanging useless at his side like Jef-
ries at Reno , Beresford stood back
and would have waited for him to re
cover if Drexel's seconds had not de
clared him defeated.
The fight was the result of the
widely published supper challenge
that Beresford made to Drexel some
weeks ago.
The English champion weighed In
at 166 pounds , and the American
champion at 161. They were clad In
the regulation fighting garb and were
a magnificent looking pair as they
entered the ring.
Beresford had two lords for his seconds
ends , Lord Camoys and Lord Alastair
Graham. Drexel's seconds were Jay
Gould and Mr. Moffatt. Lieut. Hubert
De Burgh of the British navy was
referee. Mrs. George Gould had of
fered a silver cup for the winner.
WILL SUE LUMBER BARONS

Case Report of Commissioner
Sent to Congress.
Washington. Two sharp blows at
the so-called lumber trust were struck
by the administration Tuesday.
One was a statement from the de
partment of justice that suit is to be
filed against the combine based on
complaints of discrimination , black
listing , price raising and apportion
ment of territory.
The other was a report by Herbert
Knox Smith , commissioner of corpora
tions , showing the enormous extent
of the holdings of the timber inter
ests , giving warning of a monopoly
at no distant date , relating the steady
increase in prices and predicting still
greater advances by those who are
engaged in cornering the forest re
sources of the country for speculative
purposes. This report was sent to
congress by President Taft.
