A ROW of pearls glistening through coral
lips is certainly pleasing object; but a
row of discolored, bespecked teeth in any
mouth at all is grievous drawback. Add
to this that such set of teeth is usually nc-
companied by impure breath, and one can
scarcely imagine anything more objection
able. SOZODONT, the great purifier OF
the breath and whitener of the teeth, OBJ
viates this state of the mouth completely
rescuing its dental occupants from destruc
ton, and counteracting the influence upon
the enamel Of acid secretions In the mouth.

republicans have had to have Ohio, as in
this campaign, they have not failed to
carry it, and they have carried it at every
presidential election since 1852. The pc.
lltlcal history of Ohio may be summarized
In general as follows, considering only
presidential elections Democratic from
1904 to 1924 when Henry Clay carried the
state. Democratic again from 1928 to
1885, when Harrison the Whig candidate
carried it against Van Buren,. Then
Wing till lS4S when Cass the democratic
candidate carried it against Taylor. Then
democratic until 1856 when Fremont, the
first candidate of the republican party for
president, carried the state, and the re-
publicans have carried it at every presl-
dental election since. OCCASIONALLY In
"off years" the democrats have elected
the legislature and governor, but while
Salmon p. Chase and old Ben. Wade lived
the state was reliably republican and is
yet with little outside pressure.

The attempt upon the life OF ex- COVER

The attempt upon the life OF ex- COVER
nor st. john, Of Kansas, aud prohibition
candidate for president, by shooting into
his car window in Indiana is an outrage
and shame upon every citizen of that
state. Just such vicious and outra peous
acts as this gave life and vitality to the
abolition cause when slavery was the
dominant tyrant, and this act will give
new life and strength to the prohibition
cause and movement 1t will furni sh the
text for prohibition orators and be an ir-
resistible argument in their hands. A
cause which can only be resisted, or an
argument which can only be answered,
by the weapon of the murderer, is ON the
highway TO success. Such arguments
weaken the cause in which they are made
and strengthen that against which they
are opposed. aE1 49,.

CONGRESS will meet the first of Decem

CONGRESS will meet the first OF Decem-
Der when the subject of division OF the
territory will be presented before that
body and urged by the people both north
and south. In the meantime some agree
ment among the people Of both sections
should be consummated as to names for
the respective divisions that the matter
may be presented without any wrangllng
amsng our own people while the question
is pending in congress to retard its pro-
eress aud 20 ssiSly defeat the bill. BY a
reasonable degree of concession IN both
sections this can be amicably arranged,
and without such conc ncessions it Will be
almost follv to expect the success of any
bill for division. The bill should not be
hampered with the admission OF southern
Dakota. for that is question IN which
the people of North Dakota have no in
terest. Besides, it is impracticable to
admit South Dakota into the union until
she has formed constition, and it Is i'm
nract,cable for her to form constitution
nntil her boundaries are defined by con
oress,onal act and an enabling act passed
authorizing her to do 50. The Raymond
bill now before congress providing fsl
the erection Of the territory of North Da-
kesa effects division on the 46th parallel,
and that u what both sections want and
it il all that North Dakota wants or can
