splendid medicine you make" This

"We shall find it necessary in the fu-
ture to shackle cunning, as. in the past
we have shackled force. The vast in
dividual and cooperative fortunes. the
vast combinations Of capital which have
marked the development OF our indus
trial system create new conditions and
necessltate change from the old atti-
tude Of the State and the nation toward
property"
THESE remarks were made few
weeks ago by Hon. Theodore Roose-
Welt, now President of the United
States, in speech at Minneapolis
These are words of wisdom, and if the
President shall act along this line and
use the influence of his high Office to
shackle the cunning of these monstrous
trusts he will serve the people well.
The mere suggestion Of government
regulation or ownership of railways,
telegraph lines, express companies, etc,
has been cried down as a wildly ia
matte idea ruinous to great business
enterprises. But, has not the time
come when this important question
shall be seriously discussed One
great corporation is now in control
of almost every important railway east
of the Ohio river, and it will propably
be only short time until its monop-
oily is absolute. Would government
control be as injurious to the masses
of the people as this state of affairs ?
Would it not be better 10 trust our
selves to the representatives Of the
people than to the constituencies and
INSCRIPTIONS men who are accumula-
ting untold millions by extortions
upon the public?
We hope that the President may
give serious consideration to 1.-THE at
titude of the State and the nation
toward property"

Value of Mans Life.

The Supreme Courts have decided
that the life of the average man is worth
just what he is able to earn. A man s
earnings depend to depend to a great
extent upon his health, and it is always
within his power to improve his cOndi-
ton. The stomach is the measure OF
health and strength. Every man may
be bright, active and happy, if his di-
gestion is normal. Ifitis not, Hostetter S
Stomach Bitters will make it SO. 1t
puts the digestive organs in condition
to properly digest and assimilate food.
Try it for constipation, indigestion, dys-
pepsia, biliousness, liver and kidney
troubles. 1t has cured stomach ailments
for the last fifty years, and today there
is not thing just as good.

IT would be interesting to know
just how long the present era of high
prices is to be kept up. The cost of
living is higher now than it has been
for years-food, clothing and the ar
ticles ofevery-day use having increased
gradually in price until it has become
a really serious matter to know how to
meet the advanced rates for the neces-
sites of life. Loud complaint is being
heard from every section, especially
from the cities. and the people are be-
coming very FESTIVE.
Of course the control by trust of
almost every article of common use is at
the bottom Of the trouble.

AN aggregation of Yankees CON-
posing G. A. R. Post in New Hamp-
shire are quite shocked at President
Roosevelt's remark that he was not
ashamed of the fact that two of his
uncles had served with gallantry in
the Confederate Navy. and they crit
icised him very severely for taking
pride in such thing. The President
refuses to be bluffed, however, and
reiterates his determination to be the
President of the South as we'll as the
North. He said that he meant to
pursue the same generous policy
toward the South that President Nc
Kinley followed.

THE pillow trust was organized in
Chicago Tuesday with great cheerful
ness by representatives Of the twenty
three manufactures that will combine
with capital of $lOO,OOo,OoO. A
sumptuous banquet was held, and as
they ate and drank the promoters
congratulated each other upon the
smoothness with which they will now
be able to extract the dollars from the
pockets of the farmers. They appear
to have cinch on the pillow business,
and it is now up to the farmers to de-
wise a plan TO- circumvent them.

We think the matter of Furnishing
those misguided or careless persons
who speak disrespectfully of the late
President Mckinley is being some
what overdone. Men are dismissed
from their positions for uttering sem
timents adverse to the present state of
public opinion, soldiers are drummed
out of the army, citizens are thrown
into rivers, and in Kentucky a man
was killed the other day for making
an alleged irreverent remark. 1t
should be remembered that this a free
country and that all men have right
TO free speech, even if it is contrary
to a popular fad. 1t is a matter of ex-
ceedingly poor taste, of course, to abuse
30 good man as the late President,
but it is not blasphemy, nor even
crime.

Rev. Dr. Parkhurst says the assas-
sination Of President Mckinley was
an act of God. He said II do not
defend anarchy and l do not criticise
wealth, but urge that it is simply
the Christian obligation resting on
men of considerable means that they
should refrain from so advertising of
the enormity of their accumulations
as to accentuate in the mind of the
poor man the poverty of his own con-
dition.
