GALL true democrats are standing
in one solid line this year-for Rose
and for zeal reform in the interests of
all of the people. '-Marshtield News.
This is the boldest attempt to support
Rose that any paper in the state has
made thus far. All the Democrats
for Rose? And Rose has become a
reformer-ttat certainly is news.
The News uses a stock editorial which
unfortunately does not fit the Demo,
cratic candidate for governor, and
instead of helping him makes him
iappear ridiculous.

IT would seem that whirlWind Rose
now has succeeded in placing bis
party on the bed of political death
Daily his party is losing strength, for
the only nourishment it receives from
the imam of flesh and blood is, "This
dying for principles is all ID rot"
But what cares Rose? No one realizes
better than he that to be elected
governor is an impossibility. Dawes
soul is at its best when it feeds upon
notoriety and his trip through the
state means nothing more than a
desire to satisfy that craving.

The governors solution of the mort.
gage tax question is to tax the mort
cages at their value and tax the
property that is mortgaged at its
value. less the amount of the mort.
gage. This would do away with
'double' taxation, and would tax
both parties interested in proportion
to their Interests, thus carrying out
the demand of the platform for al
equitable division of the tax burden
A law of this kind would not conflict
with the right of the mOrtgagor anC
mortgage to make any such contract
as they might see fit regarding the
payment of the interest. 1t is not
believed that any law could forbiC
the right Of private contract.

No matter what state issues or iSmS
divide the Republican party in this
state, there are some things the people
should not lose sight of. Among the
most important of these are the cleo
ton Of members to the State and
National legislatures. 1t will not do
for too many Republicans to stay away
from the polls on account of general
apathy toward the state ticket and let
Democrats slide in. We have a duty
to perform as party. 1t will not do
to see Congressman BrOwn-than
whom there is not more competent
or able man in the diStrict-defeate
through dislike for, or disgust at, the
state ticket and platform. Nor Wilt
put matters to rights to see the candi-
dates for the state legislature defeated,
because in that event a Democrat
might succeed Mr.. Spooner, which to
say the least, would be very embarraS-
sing to a state that gave upward Of
100, 600 Republican majority at the
last presidential election. Look to
your congressman and member of the
Observation-Disclosures Enterprise.

HARRY ELLIS FINDS MOTHER.
Eight Year-Old Waif Was Lost in
st. Louis for Two Weeks.

Little Harry Edward Ellis. an s-year-old
lad. who has been wandering about the
streets for two weeks in search of a home.
having become estranged from relatives and
unable to learn their whereabouts, was re
stored to his mother. Mrs. Belle Meyer of
No. 3212 North Twelfth street. who called
at the Four Courts for him last night.
According to Mrs. Meyer. the child ran
away from home because he fancied ii was
haunted by his fathers ghost. After his
disappearance, nearly three weeks ago. the
mother moved from No. l710 North Broad
way, where she had been living. to her
present address. and this accounts for the
little fellow not being able to locate her.
The boy had been sleeping on the grass
near Delmar Garden and living the best
he could until taken up by a young wom-
an. who found him a home with friends.
He became dissatisfied and was given into
the custody of the police. Since Saturday
he has been in the care Of the police ma

Remedies for dyspepsia have multiplied
so rapidly that they are becoming
merous as the leaves of the forest and yet
dyspepsia continues to flourish in spite OF
