s.nator Vest. stirring Letter,

SWEET SPRINGS, Mo-, Oct. 23.-My
Dear Sir: Yours received. Senator
Frye stated in coloquy with me on
the floor of the Senate in February,
1899. that President Mckinley in
structed the peace commissioners
when they left Washington, to take
from Spain only Luzon. McKinly said
afterwards that he took all the islands
to save the people from anarchy or
the clutches of foreign powers. Sena-
ator Frye's statement shows this
Christian solicitude was an after
thought and that our President was
willing to give all the rest of the
Philippines up to anarchy or parti-
tion until 1t was found that Spain was
HELPLESS. when it was determined to
grab everything.
Imperialism is the great issue.
There is as much difference between
expansion and imperialism as between
| pure spring and the Dead Sea. To
annex contiguous territory in order
to form new states, and, as Mr.. JEFF
ferson said, "to enlarge the area oil
freedom is very different from con-
quering people twelve thousand
miles distant and holding them as
unwilling subjects. This means en-
larging the area Of despotism. Not
Liberty for ALL" is now the motto
Of the Republicans. but, as Senator
Depew says, ''Gold and Glory" You

Questions
for
Women

If you were offered sure aid In time
Of trouble would you put it aside
and accept something of doubtful
efficiency?
II you saw before you strong and
safe bridge leading to your goal, would
you ignore 1t to try some insecure and
tottering structure?
The answer to these questions Is
plain. You would, of course, choose
without hesitation what all evidence
showed to be the safe thing, and you
would risk nothing in useless expert
ments.
Why, then, do sol, ,e women risk one
of their most precious possessions
their health--in trying medicines of
unknown value, which may even prove
hurtful to them.2
Lydia 2. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound has stood the test of years. It
has the largest sale Of any remedy for
female ills in the world, and nothing
could have given it this sale except its
own merit.
Do not try any experiments, but buy
what is known to be reliable. Mrs.
Pinkham's Compound can do all that
is claimed for it, and all statements in
regard to it can be easily verified.
Write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass,
for little book she has just published
containing letters from the mayor of
Lynn, the postmaster and others,
Mrs. Pinlxham's advice Is offered free
of charge to all women who write to
her for aid. This invitation is con-
stantly renewed. A million women
have been cured of fserious female ills by
Mrs. Pinkham's advice and medicine.

ARhNNHAONi ~ b's wv 80 AihSS-
toms most distinguished citizen, former
President Grover Cleveland, has set a
good example to his fellow-townsmen
by having his name placed on the reg
istry books, thus qualifying as voter.
Mr.. Cleveland will not shirk the
duties of citizenship on November g.
He has registered and will vote, and
there is every reason to believe that
he will vote the Democratic ticket.
All doubt concerning Mr.. Cleye-
lands intentions was removed to-day
when the registry lists were posted. In
the list of C's for the First District
appears the following;
mo. 3l-Cleveland, Grover Resi-
dence, Westland."
AS will be seen, Mr.. Cleveland was
among the first citizens of Princeton
to register which shows that, not
wlthstanding his retirement, he is moi
apathetic when great issues are befor,
the people Tor decision.
It would be presumptuous TO say a
this time how Mr.. Cleveland will yot
on the national ticket, for he ha
made no statement himself on tina
score. 1t can be said, however, tina
Mr.. Cleveland has commended tn
Democratic State Ticket to his in
mediate friends, and that he ha
found much in the Democratic M
tional platform to admire.
The former President as every or
knows, is opposed to the currenC
plank In the national platform, bt
he has made it quite plain TO tho'
who enjoy his confidence that l6 to
| is not under serious discussion tn
year, and that the other issues, inclut
ing the paramount issue of imperla
ism, are of vastly more Importance
the present iuncture.
Most Prineetonians agree that aftt
the voting on Nov. 6, Mr.. Clevelan
will be able to say with David B. Hill
II am a Democrat"
