sane man knows enough 10 manage
his own private affairs that be needs

what he may eat and wear, to pro eide
him with a job, to tell him what
branch Of industry to pursue and tax
him TO death for the service. In other
words IL is good old Democratic doc
trine that Americans may be trusted
10 direct their own activities, TO make
their own bargains and to expend their
own products or earning N their own
way. And IL Is part Of this doctrine
or a caroilary OF 1t that the best inter

the greatest liberty Of each to direct
his own activities and do what he will
with his own, subject only TO the pro-
vision that he interfere not with the
equal liberty of any other man or with
the discharge Of such functions as are
necessarily public

such individual liberty is essential 10 a
truly free, popular government There

denial OF this liberty by sumptuary
laws and by tariff and bounty laws
which deprive the many OF their earn

few, are essentially wrong, Injurious

MARSHAL NAoLE has a letter in this
issue of THE LEADER which will ere
ate a breeze. Mr.. Nagle talks a good
deal in this letter and says a great
many things. He says the Democratic
party in Oklahoma, with its silver
platform, is not sound, and he leaves
a sizzling brand on everything he
touches. Mr. Nagle, of course, is
handicapped with single standard
ideas which are too advanced TO bC
even easterly Democratic. He invites
no controversy, however and therein
he displays his wisdom.

territorial convention and the Judge,
always courteous and accommodating,
allowed a microscopic exhibition of
the Boer raid in the Transvaal to be

Gladness Comes

With a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasantef efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when VOC pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
oil reputable druggists.
II in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction
