Last summer one Of our grand chill
dren was sick with severe bowel
trouble. Our doctors remedies had
failed, then we tried Chamberlain's 's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rene
dy, which gave very speedy relief.
We regard il as the best medicine ev-
er put on the market for bowel COM
plants T.. q. Gregory, Freder-
ickstown, Mo. This certainly is the
best medicine ever put on the market
for dysentery, summer complaint,
collie and cholera infantum in chit
dren. 1t never fails to give prompt
relief when used in reasonable time
and the plain printed directions are
followed. Many mothers have ex-
pressed their sincere gratitude for
the cures it has effected. For sale by

DITECT VOTING WOULD RECORD THE
POPULAR WILL

The present method Of selecting a
person to serve as President of the
United States is Cumbrous, clumsy and
unnecessarily expensive. It is open to
q still more serious objeCtiOn-that Il
places within the power Of one or q
few men to defeat the well-knOWn de-
sire Of the voters. AS explained else
where In the ADVOCATE, the people
vote for men to act as Presidential
Electors and these choose the Presi-
dent. They are not bound by law to
recognize or respect the wishes Of
voters who selected them. They are
as free to vote for any man Of their
choice as the individual voter would
be II he were voting directly for q
Presidential candidate. Why not let
the voter make his own selection ?
Why interpOse the vote Of another per.
son to accomplish the same purpOseP ?
The reason for establishing this bur-
densome and risky system was the
doubt in the minds Of some Of the
trainers Of the constitution whether it
would be safe to entrust the common
people with so important q matter az
the election Of President; but IL there
was ever any reasonable ground for
such q doubt, 1t iB no longer Of force.
So, too, In the matter Of eleCting
United States Senators. The people
choose members Of a State Legislature,
aud the members 80 chosen select Sem
ators to represent the State In the
upper house of Congress. How much
easier, how much less expensive, and
how much more satisfactory In every
way it would be to let the voters them
selves choose their Senators. That
would bring the candidates directly
before the people where their abilities
and their opinions could be judged by
their manner and words In popular
assemblies. 1t would avoid all scan
dals, and 1t would leave legislators
with one less weight to carry.
But there are other msttera-not
personsl-on which the people could
vote directly with better results than
are sttsinable under present methods.
If, for example, had The dropping Of
the silver dollar from our list Of coins
been submitted to o popular vote In
1873, does anybody believe the present
troubles would have come upon as ?
And If the proposition to buy gold
with interest-bearing bonds in Jsnu-
sry, 1894, been put to a vote Of the
people, does anybody doubt what the
result would have beenP
Soon, In all probability, the question
Of retiring government notes and sub.
stituting National bank notes will be
brought forward for discussion. If it
could be decided by q direct vote Of
the people, the verdict would be q |
guide for timid Congressmen-Oneth that |
they could safely follow. The people |
are apt to know what they want,
though they are so hedged about by |
constitutional and statutory restric-
tiOns that they do not In all cases
know Just how to get what they de.
