he II Right for an Editor to Recon-
mend Patent Medicine?

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard, N G.
1t may be a question whether the
editor ola newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any OF the vari-
Gus proprietary medicines which flood
the market, yet as a preventative OF
suffering we feel it duty to say
good word for Chamberlain Collc,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We
have known and used this medicine IN
our family and have always found it
reliable. In many cases dose OF this
remedy would save hours of suffering
while physician is awaited. We do
not believe in depending implicitly on
any medicine for cure, but we do be-
lieve that If bottle of Chamberlain S
Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on hand
and administered at the inception OF
an attack much suffering might be
avoided and in very many cases the
presence of a physician would not be
REQUIRED. At least this has been our
experience during the past twenty
years, For sale by all druggists

out contract made with Attorney Fred
Baker of Detroit, Mioh., by which they
agreed to pay hun one-fourth OF the
total amount of taxes collected from the

ing cases for the county, or to pay sddl-
tional compensation for Fees Of attorney
other than those paid the: states attor-

ToMJAC FOUND GUILTY,
A. TOm.jac Found Guilty Of Petit
Larceny and Fined
$50.

The case of the State vs.. A. Tomjac
was taken up before Justice Pearson
Tuesday. Tomjao was arrested last week
on charge OF having stolen about slS 80
worth OF wheat from Martin Jaskowskl's
granary. Jaskowski testified that the
wheat in the granary was marked with
certain cross marks, and on the morn
ing of Monday, October 8. when be went
to the granary be observed that the
wheat had been disturbed and quan-
tity OF 1t removed.
Jaskowski stated that he came to
jamestown that same day and, upon
Investigation, found that Tomjac bad
sold load OF wheat and had received
money for the same. He met Tomjao in
restaurant about 1870 Monday and
asked him what be had brought to
town. Toujao said be brought pota-
toes. He also stated tnst he knew
nothing about the price Of wheat. Jas-
kowski stated that Tomjac's residenc &c
WAS nearly two miles east of bis place
and that the wagon tracks which he
/. found near the grana1y showed that q
wagon had left the granary IN that
direction.
There are quite number OF Poles In
from the settlement to testify. The evil
| dence is purely circumstantisl. Iomjac
is farmer and resides about - miles
| north of the city. He is defended by
| Attorney John Knauf. Attorney E. W.
Thorp assisted States Attorney Baldwin
| for the state.
A. Tonjac was convicted in Justice
| Pearson's court Wednesday of having
| stolen about 33 bushels OF wheat from
Martin Jaskowski's Rranary. He was
fined $50. Had be failed to pay the
fine he would have to serve out the fine
in jail at 50 per day which would near
25 days imprisonment.
Tomjac claimed that the wheat be
sold WAS bis own. 1t was claimed by
the prosecution that be raised only 22(
bushels and sold 253 this year. Tom.
jack paid the fine and was released
The value OF the wheat, claimed tc
bave been stolen was about $3.50. AS
| anything stolen which is worth less than
$50 ls classed as petit larceny the SEN
tence is much less than would have
been the case had Ton!ac been con-
victed OF stealing over $40 worth of

say in aRairs when a strike is declared.
All members OF the com mmittee are un-
communicative. But they do not deny
their purpose, nor do they discourage in
any way the reports as to a probable
strike. In fact their evasive answers
and at times silent acquiescence tends to
strengthen the belief that relations are
now strained between the management

OF the soldier boys for the war and their
return, and she asked the mothers if
their sons bad come back as good and
pnre as when they left. She had gone
to see President Mckinley and asked
that the anti.canteen law be enforced.
He received her most urbanely, spoke of
the good work she had done and how he
appreciated her efforts. He told her
the matter was under consideration. The
war was over, and still the president
considered, She pleaded that God
would arouse bin to action. She wanted
the mothers to write to him, and thought
when he found that the power behind

Mckinley Talks of Blessings

At Time of American ReVOlu-
ton. Reputation Of Origin
of Government.

Chicago, Ill. Oct. 17-ln an interview
here William Jennings Bryan took issue
with President McKinley's declaration,
made at Minneapolis, that the United
States ought to retain the Philippine
islands. He charged the president with
having repudiated the source of govern
ment as described in the declaration Of
independence. The presidents recent
speech at Minneapolis, Mr.. Bryan SAID,
marked an epooh in history. He char
acterizes it as the first address ever
made by an American president that 1e-
pudlated the people as the origin Of gov
ernment.
Then Colone, Bryan dictated the fol-
lowing interview:
"President Mckinley in his speech at
Minneapolis stated that he believed the
United States should permanently re.
tain the Philippine islands, and IN the
course OF that speech he repudiated the
source of government as described IN
the declaration of independence. Near
the. close OF this part OF the address this
sentence occurs:
II feel assured that congress will pro.
vide for them (meanlng the Philippine
isIands) q government which will bring
them blessings, which will promote their
material interests as we'll as advance
their people in the paths Of civilization
and lntelligenoe.'
IT We change the word congress- to
parliament" Mr.. Bryan went Oh, land
Philippines to colonies the reconstructed
sentences would exactly express the
sentiments of King George in revolu-
tionsry days. Again, If We substitute
the word cortez for congress and the
word Cuba for Philippines that sentence
would express tho sentiment of the
Spanish monarch whenlwe interfered to
put an end to centuries of oppression
and tyranny.
"Every king, every emperor, every
despot, confidently believes that be and
bic government will provide for bis sub
jecte government that will bring them
blessings, promote their material in
terests and advance them IN the paths OF
civilization and intelligence.
"Most Of the kings, emperors and de-
spots have asserted that they felt under
divine obligation to provide for the
blessings, etc., of their subjects. The
declaration of independence, however,
asserts that the people need not depend
upon the benevolence of foreign king,
emperor or despot, and it might have
added congress or the president, for the
blessings Of good government. Govern
ments derive their just power from the
consent OF the governed and from nc
other source. The presidents speech
marks an epoch in bis history. 1t ,e
the first ever made by an American
president that repudiates the people as
the source OF government. Whether in
this abandonment OF the principles OF
the declaration OF independence be
voices the sentiments OF the American
people remains to be seen. As he says
congress is the servant Of the people. II
congress attempts to repeal the declsra-
ton of independence the people vii
have a chance to commend or repudlate
it's actions IN 1900"
