CHARITY OR SELF-HELP FOR PORTO RICO

N1AhlI1 YIN oI-lIT HELL IOR AohAC hiNO'
Springfield Republican. -.
The desperate position in which the Porto
Rico tariff bill has left the imperialist party is
now realized by the leaders at Washington. The
admission comes frankly in the shape of a special
message from the President asking for the ap-
preparation of customs duties collected under the
Dmgley law on imports from the island, to be
expended for the use and benefit of the insular
population. This is in the nature of cmer
gency summons that something be done at
once to meet the charge coming in from al over
the country that the Administration party is
offering a stone when the Porto Rico people ask
for bread And the House majority, now blthed
in tears over the Affections and hardships and
needs of the island, hastens to make the al pIo-
priation
1t is not news to those in authority ct Wash
ington that the people of Porto Rico and their
industries and have been for months IN Il
deplorabe condition. This was brought out by
the President in his message of last December,
and had been made known to him long before
THAI The present appropriation fairly
called for then as now 1t must then have APP
peared clearly now that the duties being
collected on imports from Porto Rico could Ica-
sonahly and should certainly be diverted to :he
use of the islands interest But 1t is not until
the imperialist party has placed itself in the
attitude of DENYING to the island the demands
of justice and good faith that such a gift or
largess is suggested.
The proposition falls lamentably short of the
requirements of the situation. The Porto Ricms
ask for Justice rather than charity. They want
the rights which belong to them under the Am
ercan constitution rather than gratuitous dis
tributions of bounty from the Federal treasury.
This appropriation is in way mschievoLs.
Pretty much everything which can be said against
the substitution of gratuitcus charity for as
sistance in self-help can be said against this
proposition. And when it is possible for Con-
gress in day to extend all that the islanders
ask in the way of opportunity to help them
selves, the appropriation appears in the light
of an inexcusable makeshift. 1t is moreover
handed over the President to expend in his
own way, for any object he may, in his discre-
ton, select. He is thus sent into the island as
a benevolent despot, distributing his favors and
ruling not according to law, but according To
his individual will. Which is not America IN. It
is imperial paternalism clothed in charity for the
working ont of home nolitical ambitions

STRONG ANTITRUST LAW NEEDED.

Winston Sentinel
When the Legislature meets in June it should
make some effort to undo the terrible botchery
it committed in passing that socalled anti
trust law We thought at the time that 1t was
a worthless makeshift, if not deception. Sub
sealent events or rather the lack of subsequent
events, have not changed this opinion. Has
anybody heard of single trust being suppressed
or even molested in the slightest degree by TINS
law? This is a serious matter and will have
to be confronted by the Democratic party in the
coming campaign, unless more stringent law
against trusts is passed The people are asking
for bread and they are not content with receiv-
ing a stone Let the Democratic legislators
take warning and do something that means
something towards relieving the people from
the expressions of the trusts.

LAUNDERING LEADERS.

A storm is gathering The House Porto Rico
measure will have to he sacrificed. 1t is scarce
~ supported by anybody. The three newspapers
in Chicago which have stood by the President
are against him in this matter. So is the In
danapois journal, while all Indiana is in
tumult and ferment over it. 1t is evident that
the feeling against the House bill is becoming
more intense The only mode of aaying it is
for laundering leaders to admit they have led
the party from its true course and promise an
immediate return to safer ways

must deal with the blood It must be
able to eradicate and eliminate the
poisons which corrupt the blood and
breed and feed disease. When the
blood is cleansed, the piruples, blotches,
ulcers and sores are healed and the flesh
becomes sound and healthy.
THE RIGHT WAY
to cleanse the blood from scroh1la Is to
choose that remedy which has cured
thousands of people who suffered from
scrofula in its most grevious forms.
al am using a good many of your
medicines in my practice" writes DR.,
Joseph Fike, of Lost Springs, Marion
Co, Kansas. rTen years ago there
was an emigration from Rusland to this
country and there was a lady in the
company who was badly affected with
that dreadful disease, scrofula. Her
mouth and throat were n an awful con-
ditiou, and there were Jumps on the out
side, below the jaws, the size of hens
egg. Other doctors had been called
and they said il was fatal case. felt
confident that none of my remedies
would benefit her any. It came to my
mind that Dr.. Pie7ce's Golden Medical
Discovery was recommended for such
cases, so I went to the drug store and
bought one bottle and gave il TO her to
use as directed. Five bottles cured
her and she is well to day. She is
married now and has three healthy
children"

cry judged solely by the cures it has
effected is without doubt the most pow
erful and most perfect blood purifying
medicine of the century. II is radi-
cal remedy. 1t goes to the root of the
disease. Some preparations containing
mineral poisous such as mercury are
offered as cures for scrofula. These
medicines only suppress the symptoms
of disease for while and give the skin

KINGS EVIL.
How Ignorance and Super

A curious sight might have been seen
in England q couple of centuries ago.
AT Whitehall or some other royal resi-
dence a little group of people would
st1Tinkingiy await the coming Of the
king, in order to be vtouched for the
evil" The specific revil was scrofula,
and If was the popular belief that scrof-
ula could be cured by the royal touch.
Hence the common name for scrofula
was Kings Evil.
Nowadays we know that scrofula IS
disease of the blood and that even were
there magic in kirgiy touch, no ex-
ternal treatment could cure scrofula.
