An Excellent Combination,

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP Co, illustrate
the valueof obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make 1t the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste. but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by method
known to the CALIFORNIA Fro SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company

A. GOOD KILLING

In the overwhelming defeat of the
Troll bill authorizing the railway grid
ironing of Forest Park the people of St
Louis will be inclined to see material
promise of the termination of all efforts
to bring about q permanent surrender
Of the city's great pleasure resort to rail-
way franchise grabbers.
Under no circumstances should 1t be
possible for any influence to secure a
franchise for permanent railway opera
ton in Forest Park. Public sentiment
in st. Louis sternly forbids the sacrifice
which would be necessitated by the
granting of such franchises. The Troll
bill, whatever may have been the mo-
tives actuating its origlnators, came into
being at good time for the emphas;z-
ing Of this fact.
The House Of Delegates is to be conf
mended for the killing Of the Troll bill.
It has thereby performed valuable
public service. There is very general
hope that promoters will now abandon
all intention of striving for franchises
which would operate to destroy the
beauty of Forest Park and to materially
impair its usefulness to the community.

ceeding to make that record an estab-
lished fact. This is new experience In
the local administration of public school
affairs. practically unknown until the
present board assumed control.
The annual report Of the School Board
Finance Committee amply warrants
this belief in the boards continued ex-
celIent service. The cash balance on
hand at the close of the fiscal year, July
j. 1901, amounted to total Of $685.
S30-34, as against the preceding years
balance Of $15S,65S.54. The showing Of
receipts and expenditures proves a wise
handling Of school revenues, resulting In
an increased income and q careful and
beneficial outso. The Board Of Educa-
tiontdeserves the sincerest thanks Of the
local community. 1t is managing the
schools Of st. Louis for the benefit Of the
people, not for the profit Of political
school directors and influential" con.
tractors

Nothing Impossible!' The opening OF

success in any enterprise which 1t sees

Worlds Fair with splendid enthusi-
assn. 1t will SO thoroughly carry out
that undertaking that the phenomenal
success of the Worlds Fair of 1903 will
constitute the browning glory of the most
indomitable city in the Union.

OBJECTS TO SCHOOL TAX PLAN.
Patrons Alliance Board Passes
Resolutions.

The Board Of Control Of the st. Louis
Public School Patrons Alliance has adopted
resolutions opposing the effort of the Board
Of Education of St. Louis to secure an
amendment to the school laws Of the State
relating to the rate of taxation.
In the preamble to the resolutions the fact
Is set forth that the Board of Education
Of the city Of St. Louis secured the passage
of a join resolution through the Missouri
Assembly providing for the submission of
an amendment to the school laws Of the
State, to be voted on at the next State
election. The amendment, claims the Pa
irons Alliance, does not apply to the whole
State, but only to the city Of st. Louis.
The preamble further states that II the
amendment carries it will confer upon the
81. Louis Board of Education the power to
increase school taxation in st. Louis from
40 cents to 60 cents on the $1G0. which would
represent q total increase of $780, 900 Il year,
Furthermore, the resolutions state, this in
crease in taxation Is not subsequently to be
submitted to the voters of st. Louis for
approval. 81
The resolutions continue:
Resolved, That the ST. Louis Public School
TatroIs' Alliance. believing in home rulc, and
that the rate of taxation in st. Louis should b..
determined by the votes OF Our taxpayers and
not oy the voters of the State.
Resolved. That in the OPINION OF this associa-
tion, said amendment should be defeated and
We ask the voters of the State to vote against
it as simple mater of justice to the taxpayers
OF st. Louis:
submitted directly to and decided BY the voters
OF st. Louis.

and. for the purpose of demonstrating tnat

Owing to the excessive heat there were

day. and the surgeon found something TO

JUSTICE VS.. JINGOISM.


There Is n notable significance in the
fact that the English Liberals have eN-
tended n party vote Of confidence TO Sir
Henry Campbell Zimmerman, leader OF
that party, whose opposition to the
South African war was believed to have
destroyed his influence in Liberal coun-
cile.
That this has been done, also, with no
material concession on Campbell-Ban-
normans part adds to it's significance
Of a change in English sentiment. The
nearest approach to concession which
the Liberal leader made was state
ment of his wish that the war against
the two South African Republics should
be brought to victorious conclusion,
but even in expressing this wish Camp
bell-Rannerman insisted that England
should at the close of the conflict make
Just terms with so brave an enemy.
It has not been long since Campbell
Zimmerman stood as probably the most
unpopular man in English public life,
owing to his fearless insistence on the
sin of the war to rob the Beers of their
homes and liberties. That his leader
ship of the Liberal. party is now
strengthened and confirmed by vote OF
confidence eertainly indicates that Eng
lands sober second thought is teaching
her the error Of her ways. 1t is to be
hoped that the final result of this change
Of sentiment shall be found in q merci-
fulness towards the Beers which may,
as far as is possible, remove the stain
placed on England's good name by the
crushing Of that devoted and liberty-lov-
ing peODle.
