making of quiet promises to factions
will not suffice. 1t will not satisfy the
general idea. The people want the
issue openly and fearlessly defined,
and standing upon it man who has
publicly declared himself, and who,
asking no quarter of those who have
merited unmeasured denunciation. APP
peals only to the people as whole.
Second only to. the paramount ques-
ton of the city's moral condition is
the matter of a more adequate fire
alarm system, better police protec-
ton and systematic regulation of
sanitary affairs, together with the
proper regard for home labor, and
economy in the supervision of pub
lie affairs. In all these things Mr..
Banding is clear and outspoken.
The convention of Saturday night
took upon itself the responsibility of
the issue, and upon it the party's
candidate goes before the people 1t
is for the people to say whether they
want the reforms promised.

COMMENTING on the showing of the
Indian census that the famine cost
1.100, 900 lives, or more than five
times the population of the two Boer
republics, the New York Journal re-
marks that the famine was merely q
matter of money. There was plenty
of food in the country, but the people
died because they did not have the
means to buy it and the British gov
eminent had no other use for its own.
One-tenth of the money spent in
bringing 200,o reluctant Beers into
the empire would have prevented
over FIVE times their number of Brit
ish subjects from going out of it by
the road of death" A fraction of the
money spent in the attempt to subdue
the Filipinos to enlarge our foreign
market would irrigate and render
productive enough land to give homes
to an additional population of so. o, o.
600 and thus create at home. a market
more valuable than any we can Sc
cure in the orient.

Miss REBECCA RAMsDELL. of Hen
mixer, N. H., was 102 years old on
March 4. She was born in South
Acton, Mass, but when years old
she went with her mother to Hen
mixer. where she has since resided.
Eighty-three years has she lived in
Henniker village, upon the banks of
the Contoocook river. in the same
house which is now her home. She
was q member of the first Sunday
school class formed in the town,
started in 1914, and was admitted to
the Congregational church in 1882.
Some years ago she fell and broke her
hip, and since that time she has been
physically feeble, although she cared
for her home without assistance until
she reached the age of SO. For the
last three years she has been confined
to her bed.

CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible malady
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 APP
pearance- or a swollen gland i'll 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
of it driven out This S. S. S. does, and
is the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.
Cancer begins often III small way, as the
following letter from Mrs. Shirer shows
below the ear on the left side of my face II gave

PoLITICs BEFORE FITNESS.

The Washington correspondence OF
the Chicago Record shows how, in the
dispensing of political patronage, party
standing is regarded by the pre-. ent
administration as paramount to fitness
"Instead of appointing men of emf
nent fitness and experience the presi-
dent intends to dump upon the St.
Louis exposition a lot of politicians
who happen to be out of jobs. Only
three men inthe list Of nine would be
selected for the duties they will be re-
quired to perform if fitness were taken
into consideration. There is nothing
against their moral character or their
general ability. aud by the time the
Louisiana Purchase exposition is over
they will probably have acquired suf
ficient knowledge and had sufficient
experience to undertake such task,
but it is unfortunate that the presi-
dent lacks the courage to promote
this great enterprise against the
men who are seeking places. Senator
Carter, of Montana, is 10 be chair
man. He earned the app ointment by
talking the river and harbor bill to
death. He is good lawyer and a
clever politician, but does not know
any more about the exposition BUSH
ness than he does of the comp )sition
of the stars. Elk Senator Thurston is
recognized as one of the ablest law
yers in the west and has been pre-
tending to be eager to get back to his
practice, but he is now seeking a sal
airy of s. 900 to perform duties that
he knows nothing about. Ex-senator
Mcbride, of Oregon. was defeated for
reelection and needs the place. Ex-
Representative John Allen, of Mis-
sissippi, is one of the funniest men
that ever lived, and will be useful as
an after-dinner entertainer, which is
the best reason for his appointment.
Martin H. Glynn, of Albany, has
had a newspaper training and was
managing editor of the Albany
Times Union when he was elected
to congress. His only distinction has
been that he was the youngest man
in the house, but the president had
promised John A. Mccall, president
of the New York Life Insurance COM
pany, that he would appoint Glynn as
a com missioner TO the st. Louis expo
sition, and Mccall played an import
ant part in the late campaign.
Senator Plat, of Connecticut,
made the most vigorous opposition to
the passage of the bill appropriating
s.. 900, 00O for the exposition of any
man in the senate, but as soon as the
bill became law he hurried to the
White House and demanded a place
on the committee for Fred A. Belts.
chairman of the republican committee
of his state. Mr.. Belts has qualified
himself to run an exposition by active
in political affairs in the
state. Between campaigns
be has been an insurance solicitor.
At present he is receiver of a busted
bicycle factory and is about closing
up it's accounts.

TEE ISSUES nEFINEp

The declaration of principles, dis
tinct and unequivocal, made by V. M.
Banding in accepting the democratic
nomination for mayor of Rock Island
Saturday night has met with express
sions of appreciation by all classes of
citizens. irrespective of politics, thus
affording an Indication of the re-
Spouse that seems bound to come
with the ballots of the people cleo
ton day. The fact that Rock
Island has reached a point as
q city where well defined issues
should play a part in a NUM-
cipal campaign, together with the
taking into consideration of sadly pc
culiar conditions that have developed
here, makes the stand taken by Mr.
Banding expedient and wise. In
deed, in the face of the complaints
that have been uttered with so much
earnestness and indignation by so
many of our people in the past year.
it would seem to be that an open dec
laration on the eve of city election
by.both political parties oughtto be not
only timely, but absolutely essential
Public dissatisfaction and mortifica-
ton at the abuse of liberation has of
late been expressed as never before.
and to such an extent that party
that would neglect to meet the cry of
the people must necessarily be re-
oarded as indifferent to the popular
demand and needless of public re-
quirements.
