TIE Chicago Times-Herald, the
mouthpiece of the national admins
tration, evinces = tendency on the
part of the president--in the fulfill
mcnt of destiny" of course-to re-
cede from its purpose TO grab the
Philippines and extend the sovereign
ty of the United States over unwilling
subjects. The Times-Herald, which
has been pursuing every means at its
control to create "A sentiment in favor
of the permanent retention of the
foreign territory which by the terms
fixed bv the American members of the
peace commission has come under the
control of the stars and stripes, now
solemnly declares in n double loaded
editorial that it is not the policy of this
government to maintain power over the
new possessions permanently, but only
until they can be successfully un-
loaded on to some other power or
the inhabitants are themselves mani
testify capable of self-government.
The same paper affirms that it is in
favor of neither territorial expansion,
aggrandiZement nor Imperialism, but
that out of the war responsibilities
have come upon Uncle Sam which he
cannot shirk or discard until subse-
quent events make it possible SO to
do. Some of these temporary re-
sponsibilities were paid for to the
tune of something like $50, 600, 900.
However, if the editor of the Times
Herald has had mis- ear to the ground,

In Memoriam.

This is our memorial day. Twelve
months have passed since THE ARGUS
editor and publisher was taken from
earth in the prime of manhood. Fully
realizing that those whose loss is the
most severe, whose grief is the most
poignant, suffer in silence rather than
to oppress busy world with those af-
flictions which are particularly. their
own, it has not been the part of The
ARGUS to parade or to magnify its
sense of sorrow during the past year.
Nor does it now seek to depart from
what to il is the truest idea.
But THE ARGUS is in itself me
mortal. Pledged as it became when
il dedicated itself TO one who had
made it. whose name it has
borne since, and in whose name it
still exists. it would crave but
a few words on this. its memorial
day. 1t is but of memory that we
would speak, for though the narrow
house NAV shut out from loving ewes
the precious form. memory still abid-
eth. The mortal tenement may crum-
BILE and return to dust, but memory,
like the soul. can never die. While
the one ascends to its Maker the other
fingers to inspire. Memory alone can
soothe the aching heart, it alone can
sustain in the chamber of death.
Memory is the spirit of the sepulchre.
sacred and holy. And to the memory
OF J. w. Potter, The ARGUS would
bring its humble but sincere tribute,
not of words, but of tears.

those whose anxiety at the course
events were taking at the time the
peace terms were determined and Mr..
Mckinley made that trip to ascertain
if the currents of destiny were not
running in favor of the Philippine
conquest, will feel that just agitation
may yet have put an end to policy
that would have detied the constitu-

No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspep-
sia- People having it think their
nerves are to blame and are surprised
that they are not cured by nerve med
icines. The real seat of the mischief
is lost sight of. The stomach is the
organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not
have any pain whatever in the stom-
ach, nor perhaps any of the usual
symptoms of stomach weakness. Ner-
vous dyspepsia shows itself not in
the stomach so much as in nearly
every organ. In some cases the heart
palpitates and is irregular; in others
