MORRIS ON rHEsTUMP.

&3 "NSSO"sS& ~ . 'SbSs VS.
From the Ainnespoiis Journ4l. -
The address of Page Morris At
Duluth last night, stamps him a.
man of ideas, with breadth of
views, soundnees Of doctrine, de-.
finiteness of purpose and clearness
Of vision above the ordinary. He
knows what the Republican party
has done for the nation, is now
DONG, and is promising for the
future, and has the power to lay
this knowledge before the public
in striking language. The Du.
luth address, aside from the mere
local features of it, can be read
with profit anywhere over the
country. It gives full and satis'
factory answer to the question.
What claim has the Republican
party upon the favor of the Amer
ican people! and may fairly be com.
pared with the Lyceum theatre
address of Senator Davis and the
Hallock address of Senator Knute
Nelson, with both of which the
Minnesota public is familiar.
Perhaps the most interesting
feature of the address to Sixth
district people is the arraignment
of c. A. Towne for his efforts to
defeat the lumber schedule Of the
Dingley bill. In this reply to a
recent letter published by Mr..
Towne in the Duluth Herald,
Judge Morris would seem to have
the better of the argument, and
to have placed Mr.. Towne at de-.
cided disadvantage before the dis
trict. THIS portion of the address
especially every Sixth district man
ought to know.
Judge Morris very frankly an
nounces himself as an expansion
ist, and gives good reasons for his
position. He thinks that the
United States, under Providence,
has mission to perform in the
Antilles and the Philippines, and
that it should proceed deliberate.
ly, but determinedly, to the es.
tablishing in those islands not
only Of an American protector
ship and ownership, but to the
sowing the seed of later and better
civilization, which under the fos.
tering care of the All-Fathcr, will
bring forth, at no distant day, a
rich harvest of the best things
which that civilization represents,
education, morality, indepen.
dence and a better understanding
of the divine doctrine of the
brotherhood ofman. A carefully
prepared synopsis of the address
IN this paper will repay perusal.
It will do much to raise Judge
Morris in the estimation Of his
own people as possessing those
qualities Of mind and heart which

As he settled back in his seat great drops of blood dripped from his nose "Oh, that's all right" he said; 'J will soon stop that" With this he opened his satchel, tore off half of a Sundays issue of the New York World and rammed parts of it up each nostril. The flow of blood was staunched rather suddenly.
 Then the representative branched off into national issues.
 ."The next house will undoubtedly be re. publican" he said. "The republicans will lose few members In New York and one or two other states, but they will make some gains in the west, where the populist party will be almost swept off the face of the earth. We will possibly carry Nebras- ka, but there will be heavy losses in Kan sas"
 Howard expressed the wish that Roose- welt might win in New York but admitted that the tide had turned toward Van Wyck.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID INCREASE OF HEART
 TROUBLES.
Do Not Re Alarmed, But Look For the Cause.

Do Not Re Alarmed, But Look For the
 Cause.
 Heart troubles. at least among Ameri- cans, are certainly increasing and while this may be largely due to the excitement and worry of American business life, it is more often the result of weak stomachs, of poor digestion.
 Real organic heart disease is incurabIe; but not one case in a hundred of heart trouble is organic.
 The close relation between heart trouble and poor digestion is because both or- gans are controlled by branches of the same great nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneumogastric.
 In another way. also the heart is affected by that form of poor digestion, which causes gas and fermentation from half di- gested food; there is a feeling of oppres- sion and heaviness in the chest caused by pressure of the distended stomach on the heart and lungs, interfer ng with their ac- tion; hence arises palpitation and short breath.
 Poor digestion also poisons the blood, makes it thin and watery, which irritates and weakens the heart.
 The most sensible treatment for heart trouble is to improve the digestion and to insure the prompt assimilation of food.
 This can best be done by the regular use after meals, of some safe, pleasant and ef- fective digestive preparation, like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at most drug stores and which contain val- uable, harmless digestive elements in a pleasant, convenient form.
 It is safe to say that the regular, per- sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at meal time will cure any form of stomA ach trouble except cancer of the stomach. Full sized package of the tablets sold by druggists at 50 cents. .,. .ss,sss.s .ss..... Little book on stomach troubles mailed free. Address. Stuart Co, Marshall. Mich.

 I met Howard on the train the other day. He was then going to Cherokee county to speak for Street. The representative who is so soon to pass from view is always af- fable, even to his btterest enemies. There was democrat in the same coach who has fought him, to modify the proverbial saying. from an extremely tropical region to where hot cup of coffee. a bess.teak and eggs are served. Howard went across the ais,e spoke to his enemy, and got off some joke about the political situation.

them are received for foreign distribution
from cities along the Atlantic seaboard,
and especially from the neighborhood of

from places inland, it is said, keep down
the contributions of distant congrega-

FOR THE BREWERlEs.
The Aroostook Barley Crop Is Small
This Year.

The barley crop in Aroostook county
this year has not reached the expectation
of the growers and there are now stored in
Caribou 1000 bushels awaiting shipment
to the Frank Jones brewery as soon as
another thousand bushels come in.
Whether this latter amount can be OBJ
tanned in the barley growing section
of the county is problematical and uncer-
tain. This is not because there were not
1000 bushels OF barley grown this year,
but the deficiency lies in the reason that
only the best and brightest stock is &C.
cepted for brewing purposes.
The cause of the shortage in the barley
crop was the weather. Barley is generally
planted in Aroostook from May 10 to
June Is, and in go days at the utmost the
crop should be ready for harvesting.
When the time came to reap the harvest
OF the 900 bushels sown, the weather set
10 rainy and damp SO that the crop viii Oh
on the whole averaged with last year S
as to yield per acre, was. rendered unflt
for trewing purposes being spotted and
dulled by the unfayorable weather during
the harvest season.
In consequence, when the crop was all
harvested tbs growers found that but
about one half OF their crop would pass
inspection for the malt mrket.
Last year BOO bushels of excellent bar
ley were shipped from Caribou to the Jones
brewery. 1t was of excellent quality and
brought So cents. Uncertainty in price
does much to discourage the general
planting of barley, according to an au-
thority, in Aroostook and as the raising
of barley for brewing purposes is an ex-
pertinent bat two years old, the farmers
are averss to planting it in large quanti-
ties when there is an assurance of price in
the crop of wheat and oats.
Herschel W. Collins ships all the barley
to the Jones Brewery, and he is anxious
to receive the extra 1910 bushels so as to
move the crop from the storehouse. Mr..
Collins is the son of Samuel w. Collins,
one of the pioneers of that section of
Aroostook, and among the earliest found
ers of Caribou, and with his son conducts
the largest roller mill in the county.
