WHAT THE PEOPLE VOTED FOR

Oshkosh Northwestern: We are too
apt to forget, after election, the principles
in which we were most interested before
election. Thisis year and an occasion
when the party must not, and the people
will not, forget the pledges on which the
republican victory was won this year.
The people who rolled up 10000 major
ity for the state ticket and elected ten
republican congressman and republi-
can majority in the legislature are en-
titled to have the policy and the legis
lation carried out for which they voted
II there is any virtue in representative
government, it is that the will ofathe
people shall pass through the ballot box
into the statute books. No party can
hold the full confidence of the people
which mistakes the will of the people
for a mere office brokerage. 1t was not
for offices, but for certain principles and
for the enactment OF certain reforms and
more agreeable policies that the people
voted at the last election. We have
never had an election in the state when
the Office or the individual who should
hold the Office cut so small figure in
the suffrages of the people.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE TO CONGRESS
President MeKinley's message to con
gress,as transmitted on Mon day last is,
throughout, permeated by genuine and
intense Americaniem. or the war it is
an accurate and patriotic historical re
view. On the question of sound money
legislation, it is unequivocal and fear
less as the President himself is. At this
time we can but briefly outline the gis
of the message. The war with Spain is
related in terse but accurate terms. The
results are clearly defined. Our posi-
tion as to the control and government
of the Philippines must, necessarily, b.
tentative and waiting one. Such con
troll must be military one until con
gress decides finally and in detail to the
contrary. A large navy and star ding
army of at least 100000 men is abso
lutely essential. Our vast commercial
interests in China must be conserved
and preserved by every means in on,
power and at whatever cost. The trib
ute OF Ohe president to those who die
not fight, but waited in silent readiness
and confidence for the call to arms whet
it came as we'll as to the sanity devo.
tion of the nurses and physicians of the
Red Gross society, is as generous as il
is deserved. The pension roll, the postal
service, the Pacific road sales ard
our cordial relations with foreign coun.
tries receive due attention. Last, but
not least, the waste and suffering of wal
and IN that connection the Cars peace
movement are the subject of serious and
earnestly sympathetic treatment by thu
president.
1t Is too early to anticipate, correctly,
the reception the message will receive
in all quarters, political end national
However the CENSOR hopes and believes
that the same absence of partisanshiF
and the same patriotic unity of purpt s
and effort which upheld the president
and administration in the conduct of
the war itself, will continue to character
izs the consideration and treatment of
the vital aud difficult problems result
ting therefrom. The nation, as a whole,
will demand of their representatives in
congress, absolute and unqualified 10y
atty to Pesident Mckinley, in whose
patriotism and wisdom they have con-
tidence unalloyed by even the shadow
of doubt.

A World OF Tronh.e.

The editor Of the Troy, Kansas, Times,
thus bre ks out: Man that is horn
Of woman is few of days and full of
microbes. The moment he hits the
earth he starts for the grave, and the
| longer he travels the faster he goes
His visible reward for long years OF
labor and nights of walking the floor
| with teething bbby is al epitaph
he can't read and tombstone he
doesn't want. In the first of the seven
ages OF men he's licked, in the last he's
neglected. and in al! the others he's a
arget for the lying, rneddlesome mis-
chiefmaker- woman who won't tend
to her own business. If he does not
marry his first love he'll always wish he
had, aud it he does he'll always wish he
hadn't. Yet no man ever follows
freedoms flag for patriotism with half
the enthusiasm that he will trail the
red, white and blue that constitutes the
banner OF female beauty. He will brave
the lion in his den, face the booming
cannon, tread the OCEAN foam beneath
his feet, and yet viii tremble like q half
frozen egg sucking dog when called By
his wife to account for mis- cussedness
He goes forth in the morning to plow
the corn with cross eyed mule and a
roam steer, works hard all day and comes
home at night to find his seven half
clothed children hungry as bears and
no bread in the house, and his wife
over to one OF the neighbours to borrow
hat to wear to church social.

What is the use of making better
tiole than your competitor il you can
not get better price for it?
ANS = As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better,
so that while our profits may be smaller
on a single sale they will be much greater
in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
IL both articles are brought promi-
uently before the public both are certain
to be tried and the public will very
quickly pass Judgment on them and use
only the better one.
This explains the large sale on Char-
berlain's Cough Remedy. The people
have been using it for years aud have
found that it can always be depended
upon. They may occasionally take up
with some fashionable novelty put forth
with exaggerated claims, but are certain
to return to the one remedy that they
know to he reliable, and for coughs.
