The worst part of sickness, frequent

give strength direct to the different
organs of the body.
\ Nothing will do this like Vinol.

ates a healthy appetite, and enables
the digestive organs to obtain the nee
essary elements to increase the weight
of the patient and to make new healthy
flesh and muscle tissue and pure, rich,
red blood.

where Vinol was taken and did good

follows:

Christmas Games.

"Heads, bodies and legs" Is most
amusing drawing game. The first player
draws a head at the top of his strip OF
paper, folds it down and the next player
adds the body without having seen the
head. The third player adds the legs,
and the effect Of the whole figure when
opened out is very quaint, recalling the
Egyptian hieroglyphics. She who COM
menced life as serious woman has the
body of bird and the legs of ballet
dancer, while the soldiers head, with a
helmet, ends in bluecoat boys coat and

Merry Christmas.

So now is come our ioyful'st feast;
Let every man be jolly.
Each room with ivy leaves is drest,
And every post with holly.
Though some churls at our mirth repine,
Round your foreheads garlands swing,
Drown sorrow in a cup Of wine,
And let US all be merry.

A CAUTIOUS CRITIC.

The Hon. N. B. Scott. asked by a
New York reporter his views of Mr..
Bryan's great Indianapolis speech.
made the confession that he had not
read 1t, or had not read all of it. Yet.
this important fact did not prevent
the de facto Senator from West Vir-
ginia from launching out into an ex-
tended criticism of Mr.. Bryan's re-
marks. However, this is not remark
able these days, when the political
views OF Statesmen" are largely ready
made, which is too often the case in
machine politics, when it is safer for
the politician to be regular than
right, when originality or individuality
of views makes him an object of sus-
picion to his fellow henchmen of the
machine.
But Mr.. Scott, determined to be on
the safe side, and not enter new ground
or take up the new issues. So he goes
clear back to the days of the bloody
shirt for material with which to antag-
onize Mr.. Bryan's views of the imperial
issue, and with wonderful acumen crit
icizes Mr.. Bryan for not including "the
poor disfranchised" Southern negro in
his plea for fair and honest dealing
under the Constitution with the Fill
pinos in order to stop the bloody, cost
ly war in that archipelago and restore
the islands to peace and order and civ
ilized government.
This is, indeed, a curious criticism,
and one that reacts on the critic and
his party like a boomerang. Mr.. Scott
unconsciously plays at cross purposes
with himself. and succeeds only in
Strengthening Mr.. Bryans position
that we give these Asiatic hordes the
liberty they have so long fought for
under our governments protection in
stead of Incorporating the Philippines
as part of the territory of the United
States. and the Filipinos as American
citizens.
Mr.. Scott unwisely calls attention to
the important fact that hundreds of
years have failed TO begin to amalga-
mate into our body polite the African
negro, who is plant and docile com
pared to the tricky, war-like Asiatic.
He admits that the race problem at the
South to-day is as. serious as ever. after
centuries of patient endeayor to find a
solution, yet he would dump upon us
by Incorporating the Philippines into
the United States another race prob
lem a hundred-fold more serious! For
the Filipinos in that event must be
citizens, as the negroes, because a re-
public can have no subjects. The stu
alton at the South to-day, however, to
which Mr.. Scott with great political
unwisdom calls attention, is the
strongest possible argument outside of
the constitutional phase. against the
policy of Mr.. SCOTS party in the Phil
ippines.

But-and mark the wide distinction
this expansion was all of contiguous
territory on this hemisphere. There
was no odor of imperialism about these
acquisitions-no talk of holding as sub
jects or vassals their people. who were
largely of our own nature and blood,
and at once ready for citizenship, max
ing the United States a homogeneous
nation Of white people extending from
ocean to ocean. And to-day great
tracts of this country annexed by Jeffer-
son, the father of the Democratic party,
still remains unsettled awaiting future
unborn millions!
If this is not expansion in its highest
and best sense, what is it?
1t is Democratic expansion
To-day Mr.. Bryan and the Democratic
party stand exactly where Jefferson
the original American expansionist,
stood, and are willing that this country
shall expand until we have absorbed
legitimately all that is worth having
in the Western hemisphere. When the
time shall come we shall be glad to well
come British territory to the north and
its thrifty people into the Union and
If needs must we are willing to go as
far in the other direction, in South
America. The Democracy will favor
the annexation of Cuba, with the con-
sent Of dts people. The Democracy is
by tradition, and will continue to be,
the great party of legitimate American
Expansion.
But the Democracy is not, never has

and most dangerous powers never con-
ferred by the Constitution, nor con-
templated by the wise founders of the
republic. That is Imperialism. 1t is
what the Republican party and the ad-
ministration stand for to-day without
equivocation.
This is the paramount issue-Repub-
lie or Empire? 1t Is a question closely
associated with our own freedom, for if
the administration can accomplish its
designs abroad by going outside the
Constitution, what is to prevent it
from going outside the Constitution,
at home in a moment of political temp
oation when by so doing it can retain
power? Are Republican leaders too
virtuouS?
This is question whose solution will
be fraught with tremendous import to
the future of the American people. The
present campaign must settle it.

DEMOCRATIC. COUNTY TICKET
JUGGLING WITH TERMS.

Imperialist editors and politicians
every day give evidence that they more
and more fear the paramount issue of
the ampaign-Imperialism They are
doing their best to cry it down and
confuse it with simple expansion Of
territory such as the United States has
many times experienced since the days
Of the thirteen original colonies. An
example of this effort to confuse the
issue is found in the following from the
Fourteenth street organ. 1t contains
more that is Numerically opposed to
the truth than is usually gotten into
the same number OF words even by
expert prevaricators:
Mr.. Bryan. or rather his advisers. has
elected to make war on the expansion of
the territory of the United States"
Chinese craftsmanship could not i'm
prove this. So far removed is it from
the truth that Mr.. Bryan has time and
again dwelt especially on this very
point to prevent the possibility of con-
fusion in the densest mind of the terms
expansion" and imperialism" which
in this case are totally disslmilar. Mr.
Bryan has taken pains to make most
plain this wide difference and has re-
peatedly declared himself and his party
ir favor of all possible expansion of the
territory of the United States within the
Constitution and the Monroe Doctrine
In his recent speech of acceptance he
was at pains to quote the great Ameri-
can expansionist, Thomas jefferson. as
testhe difference between expansion and
imperialism as seen in the early DAYS
of the republic and the views of the
father of American Democracy in those
days was precisely the view held by
Mr.. Bryan and the same Democratic
party to-day. And 1t was under the
administration of that wise Democrat
that this country expanded as never
