catarrh by the use of so-called blood reme-
dies2 That catarrh is not caused by blood
troubles is self-evident when you reflect
that attacks are always due to sudden eli
matte changes or exposure, and occur most
frequently during the winter and spring,
though the blood is as pure as in summer
or fall. A remedy which quickly relieves
and cures the catarrhal attacks has been
found in Ely's Cream Balm.

ITO W no REDUCE I
CITY EXPENSE.

The city council last Monday
voted against the plan as suggest
ed few weeks ago by Mayor
McVicar to reduce the city ex-
penses, thereby saving TWELVE
THOUSAND DOLLARS to the city
without incurring any embarrass-
ment. The Mayor pointed out
the things that might be done
away with and some reductions,
yet the council voted in contradic-
tion to his desire. When the
Mayor was elected he pledged him
self to do all in his power to cur
tail city expenses and run an
economical administration, and is
now simply trying to carry out his
pledge, is handicapped by the city
council. Let the tax payers watch
the city council and turn them
down by electlng aldermen that
will assist the Mayor in reducing
the expenses. Mayor McVicar
has proven himself to be honest
aud sincere and outspoken against
unnecessary eXpenses.

MISSOURLS SEPARATE
COACH La ".

A few weeks ago we stated to
cur readers that some mossback
of Missouri had introduced a bill
to have separate coaches for white
and colored people. 1t was over
whelmingly defeated two weeks
ago. Republicans, and the better
class Especially the educated class
of democrats, voted against it.
But again last week another anti
dated suffering mortal introduced
another bill, providing separate
coaches, claiming that it was bet
ter for the colored people as it
gave special coaches. We now
inform you that we don't want any
special privileges; we have never
asked for them. If you would
give us equal privileges and oppor-
tunities we will excuse you. All
that the colored man has ever
asked, even just after he was
freed, equal opportunities and
special preference to none. Let
the $4,000 colored voters of Mis-
souri, spot those that voted for this
measure, and relegate them to the
rear at the next election.

AMERICAS THREE GREAT
EST MEN-WASHINGTON,
LINCOLN AND DOUGLASS.

While it is true that February is the
shortest month in the year, yet it is
noteworthy coincidence that more of Am:
erics's great men were born beneath this
month. George Washington, born Feb.
20, 1882, died Dec. Il, 1899. He is known
in history as tho "father of our country"
u soldier, a statesman, and patriot
Abraham Lincoln was born Feb. II,
1909, died April Is, 1865. He is known
in histoay as the ''savlor of our country
and great smancipator.'' He, too, was
statesman, true patriot and martyr to
the cause of liberty. He, like Elijah of
old, from his chariot of fire dropping the
holy mantle of Liberty upon the sable
shoulders of the enslaved Africans.
Frederick Douglass was born (as near
as can be aseertained) Feb. -, 1917, died
Feb. 20. 1895. He was = statesman,
patriot and benefactor. He was one Of
the worlds greatest spirits, the Nestor Of
our race, who stood for nearly sixty years
between his people and the fierce hate OF
ignorance and ianatacism, never once
proven untrue to his unquenchablc and
intangible mission. Space will not per-
NIT US to eulogize those great human
characters whose history and lives will
always be remembered and honored so
long as American history Is extant.
