Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still he's the
largest sale of any medicine IN the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for indigestion or bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fer
mentation of undigested food, regu-
late the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
svstem. and that is all they took
when feeling dull and bad with head
aches and other aches. You only
need few doses of Green's August
Flower, in liquid form. to make you
satisfied there Is nothing serious the
matter with you. For sale by Geo

WHAT has become of the good old
republican brother who in years gone
by ''stood up for Kansas" e. f.
Ware, of Topeka, has issued book
entitled "Hello Kansas" which ls
filed with rot of the rottenest kind.
He lays all the woes of Kansas to
populism and prohibition. If the
good Lord will only send the state
sessousble rains, so that crops will
grow, and the right kind of laws re-
garding transportation and trusts are
enacted, Kansas will step to the front
Not one Of our republican exchanges
has condemned the book, while every
pop and democratic paper bitterly
RssRils it,
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1900-07-12

THE republican papers of the east
and those of the west should get to-
gether. In the east those papers
claim that the peoples party has
swallowed the democratic mule. In
the west the republican papers claim
that the democratic party has swal-
lowed up the peoples party. Years
ago there was an abolition party,
which favored the abolition of slavery,
but 1t was swallowed up by the re-
publican party, and it's work was
done by that party. So with the peo-
pies party. If the democratic party
takes up it's work and does it's bid
ding, well and good. The demo-
cratic platform is populistic enough
for any pop.

TO THE PUBLIC

ixyea rs ago the Deering Roller and Ball
Bearing Binders and Mowers were placed on
the market. At that time the progressiveness
of the Company was jeered at by competitors,
and failure was predicted. Today the only
competitor the Deering has, has adopted, as
near as patents will permit the principle of
roller and ball bearing. Bnt the Deering of
today and that of six years ago are very diff
ferent, and the old reliable, the DEERING,
is still six years in advance of all others. See
them at local headquarters.

What 10 the difference between the
democratic and the republican atti-
tude toward the Philippines?
The New York Times afiirms that
there is practically no difference. II
attempts TO justify this opinion by a
pettifoggirg paraphrase OF the two
policies.
In matter OF such moment are not
the people entitled 70 judge the par
words and acts? Mr.. Mckinley in his
speech OF acceptance says:
The Philippines are ours. and American
authority must he supreme throughout the
archipelago. There must be no scuttle
policy.
Mr.. Bryan in his speech takes the
position that the Philippines belong
10 the Flininos. and that the Filipinos
own themselves. lie says:
IF governments derive their just powers
from The consent IL the governed. II is inn
possible 10 secure title 10 people either by
force or by purchase. Force can de-
ferd a right. but force has never yet Great

Is there not n vast and vital diff

For that reason they will vote for Bryan

Just as in 1896 they voted for Mckinley not
