a PROHIBITION CoMPA1GN.

The Prohlbitionists are beginning
their campaign early It is a question
whether they are not beginning it too
early 10 make much of a success of it.
The movements they are making now
only serve to put into existence count
er movements.
The announcement is made that it is
the purpose of the Prohibitionists to get
control of the Senate. Heretofore they
have been weak in that branch of the
Legislature. While they are trying to
capture the Senate they may fail to
hold control of the House.
It is more than year before much
will be done towards nominating can
didate for governor and candidates for
the House and Senate. But if the Pro-
hibitlonists begin agitatlng the liquor
question now, the liquor forces will
begin to prepare to control nominating
conventions. Having money with
which to carry out their plans, and
being accustomed to rely on organiza-
ton for success, they Will likely ac-
complish more than the the Prohibit
tionists in long campaign. Assuming
that this view of the matter is correct
the Prohibiti0nlsts are making a mis-.
take
There is no doubt that the Prohibi.
tionists are much more in earnest than
they have been in other years. If they
are not, their chances for success are
no better than IN other campaigns II
which they have made determined
effort to get control of the state.
There Is no doubt they have a GOOD
deal to irritate them Liquor is freely
sold, though surreptitiously,in prohibi
ton counties But if a general prohi
bition law should be passed would no
the same evil exist Would not there
be blind tigers just as there are in thu
prohibition counties now? It is the
belief that there would that prevents
many opponents of the liquor traffi
from supporting prohibition.
Prohibition has certainly not been
success in Kansas. It has not been (
pronounced success anywhere. There
are reasons for thinking that more hal
been accomplished for the cause O
temperance by local option than by
prohibition. Would it not be the better
! plan to continue to work under loca
option, and to assist 1t by more strin
gent laws against selling it IN any par
of the state on Sundays There would
be strong public sentiment in supper
of laws of this kind Savannah News

RACE PREJUDICE IN DELAWARE

The negroes of Delaware, it seems.
will not tolerate one Of their race asso
eating with "poor white trash" Near
Wilmington the other day party Of
negroes saw negro man and white
man walking together, on their way to
the city to look for work. The party
demanded to know of the negro why
he was walking with white man. AS
he was attempting to explain, he was
struct from behind with bludgeon,
knocked down, and beaten and stamped.
Then his tormentors threw him into a
fire, evidently intending to finish their
work. The pain of burning gave the
man extraordinary strength, and he
broke away and ran. Later he was
taken to a hospital in a pitiabIe con-
dftion. There were no arrests

CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible ma1ady
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap-
pearance-or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma-
nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood-every vestage
IF it driven out This S. S. S. does, and
IS the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like thfs.
When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.
Cancer begins often in small way, as the
following letter from Mrs. Shirer shows :
A small pimple came on my jaw about an inch
below the ear onthe left side OF my face. 1t gave

= How "We" Got There.

The question of the relative merits of
lawyers and editors as to veracity
arose recently at a social affair where
both professions we're about equally
represented. Each of course claimed
the honors, but the final settlement of
the question was left to a representa-
tive of each side. These representa-
tives we're to prepare essays and sub
NIT them to committee. The best
essay would decide the difference.
And this was the prize essay:
''There is one editor in heaven,
though how he got there the Lord only
knows, but it is supposed he rode on the
blind baggage or got a pass. When
they found him there they tried to turn
him out but he refused to go. Then
they hunted all over heaven for law
yer to serve him with writ of eject
ment papers, but they could not find
one, so the editor held the fort and he
is there to this day. "-Red Wing Re-

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure Deafness and that is by constltu-

EuStachian tube. When the tube is infamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to it's normal
nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
