From Governor Crawford.


Ex-Governor Samuel J. Craw-
ford is quoted in an interview,
published in the Washington
Post, as being opposed to the
Philippine war. The interview
follows:
81 stand to-day where I have
stood from the beginning,
absolutely opposed to the war in
the Philippines" said Ex-
Governor Crawford. GIN wag-
ing that war we have depart
ed from the principles on which
this republic was founded and 1
denounce it as cruel, unjust and
unnecessary. Suppose we do sup
press the rebels they won't stay
suppressed. What havewe gain
ed to compensate for the loss of
SO many brave young Americans,
not to speak of the enormous ex-
penditure of money?
''But no argument based on
cOmmercialism can stand for a
moment against conscience,
truth and right, all of which are
arrayed in opposition to this
conflict.
81 sympathize fully in our
chastizement of the Spaniards.
We did right to drive them out
of Cuba and out of the Philip
pines, but how in the name of
reason could we aquire a just
title to those islands from Spain
the robber and tyrant? For
heavens sake let us get away
from imperialistic methods and
get back to the old ideas and
principles under which, in the
space of one century, we have
developed into the most indus
trious; thrifty and progressive
nationality on earth. We have
a territory capable of support
ing untold millions of freemen,
the resorces of which have scarce
~ been touched. Let us go for
ward building up this great Re
public, not by conquest or OPP
pressive wars, but along the old
methods that have never yet
failed us and that we can tie to
for centuries to come."- state

Small Pox.

A correspondent of the Kansas City
Times. writes: II herewith append a
recipe which has been used to my
knowledge in hundreds of cases. l.
will prevent or cure small pox though
the pittings are filling. When Jenner
discovered the cow-pox in England,
the world of science buried an ava
lanche of fame upon his head but when
the scientific school of medicine of the
world that of Paris-publtshed this
recipe as panacea for small pox. ii
passed unheeded. 1t is unfailing as
fate and copquers In every instance.
1t is harmless when taken by a well
person. 1t will also cure scarlet fever.
Here is the recipe as l havs used it.
and cured my children of scarlet fever;
here it is as l have used it to cure
small pox when learned men physicians
said the patient must die;
''SuIphate of zinc. one grain; fox
glove (digitalis.} one gram; half tea
spoonful of sugar. mix with two table
spoonsfui of water. When thoroughly
mixed add four ounces of water. Take
spoonful every hour, Either disease
will disappear in twelve hours. For a
child smaller doses according to age.

need of pest houses If you value I'D.

terrible disease"

The democrats of this district,
the 7th, have Loyalty supported
the populist candidate for the
past eight years, and have no
regrets for SO doing. Now would
it not be good, and a practical
thing to do, for the populists OF
the district to join the democrats
in support of a man for congress
whom those republicans who will
bow no longer at the Long

The assessors of the county
will meet at the county clerks
office Monday, March 5th, in
conjunction with the commits
sioners, to agree upon basis of
assessed values. IF they will not
agree to comply with the letter
of the law and assess taxable
property at its REAL value, they
should at least take the value of
all personal property, deduct the
5000 exemption, and then divide
by three. Instead of dividing
the total by three and then tax
ing off the exemption, thus Civ
ing all people who own personal
property to the value of 5000 or
less exemption from any taxes
whatever. The plan of assess
ment as suggested would be an
injustice to no one, and<we earn
estly hope that the assessors
will see it in the proper light.

REPUBLICANS claim to be in
favor of restricting trusts, and
their state and national plat
forms this year will TEEN with
resolutions denouncing the un-
holy combinations which are
robbing the people. If as a
party they are in favor of regu-
lating trusts why don't they do
it? They have the president, the
congress and the courts. They
can now make the law, use execu-
tive power to enforce it and have
the courts sustain it, therefore
where the necessity of passing
resolutions? If this administra-
tion would act in the matter, if
the republican party was with
the people, there would be no
issue on the trust question. But
this asserted opposition to
trusts on the part Of republican
leaders, is a pretense, and can
deceive no one with sense enough
to think for himself a minute.

In fact, he is chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee of
the republican house, and even if
two-thirds of the republicans in
this district don't want him re-
turned, he will be found to have
ways and means to get the nomi-

there are ways and means by
which he can be neatly shelved
