Do NOT NEGLECT
The LITTLE ILLS OF TODAY
The Use of
PAlNE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
Will Eradicate From the
Blood and System the
Seeds of Disease.

As grains Of sand make our lofty
mountains. drops of water the mighty
ocean. and as our massive buildings
are made Of one brick piled upon an
other, SO do the little ills of life cOn-
tribute to the building up Of deadly
diseases in the body.
Experiencedmedi menclaim that
fully three fourths Of our men aud
women enter the summer season with
little ills and symptoms of disease:
which must develop into serious aud
fatal troubles if not baniShed at
once.
We hear our friends complaining
daily of rheumatic tendencies, sharp
and darting neuralgia pains, dyspep.
STA pains in the side and back, ner-
vousness, and sleeplessnass; and we
see with our own eyes the effects OF
impure blood in facial blotches erup-
lioDs, and sores. The little ills and
pains of today build up the alarming
and fatal diseases that follow days
and weeks OF neglect
wise ana Intelligent people who
have looked into the claims of Paine's
Celery Compound and followed its
remarkable cures of relatives, friends
and neighbors, use it themselves with
faith and confidence to Danish their
symptoms Of coming troubles, to
cleanse the blood. to re-eStablish
force, energy, and bodily strength, so
that they will be in condition to with
stand the enervatins effects of the
coming hot weather.
In every community where Paine's
Celery Compound has been used at
this season to Danish disease, it is re-
garded as a godsend, Workers in
Offices, Shops. factories. and weary
and run down wives and mothers in
their homes have thanked Heaven for
DR.. Phelps marvellous prescription,
because 1t made them well. Try a
bottle or two, We who are ailing and
sick; it will give you what you most
stand in need of-hcalth and new

THERE will be nothing undigni-

speeches to the people this fall He
owes that much to his party if he
talks some sense into some of the
leaders in the Republican party.
He should by all means visit Dsla-
ware and see what he can accom-
plish among the pig headed politi-
clans who would rather suffer de-
feat if they cannot rule the party
organizations. Gentle reader, you
can have AS much say as any other
person at the ballot box. Some men
are all after gain, Others are not
afraid to spend Il dollar and thus
allow others Il chance to making u

THE Rev. +. Durgctte Short after
short service as General Slprriu-
tendent Of the Young Mems Chris

resignation, to take effect July LIST.
He gives as his reason for reSigning
that he has found it impossible t.
develope the Association work as he
had hoped, and he thinks it best
that he should resign. He thinks
the Association will never be the
success it should be in this city. un
til there is quickening and inten-
sified interest taken in the work by
the citizens Of Wilmington. There
must be some other reasons than
those given by the hustling Secre-
tary, to cause his resignation. The
Association has not grown as it
should in the last ten years, consid-
ering the size of Wilmington and
all efforts to build it up where it
properly belongs, have been rather
slow progress If the Rev. Mr.
Short was unequal to the occasion

around long time to find the prop
erly qualified person.

At the meeting Of the Board of

committee Of that body presented the
following report.
Wilmington, Del, May 26, 1902,
To the Board of Public Education.
Gentlemen: Your committee on
finance, to whom was referred the let
ter Of the Mayor and Council Of Will

waive the annual five per cent. in
crease for the ensuing fiscal year,
would respectfully report, that In the
Judgment of the committee the an

so that the board may meet its obli-
cations as they become due and that
there may be sufficient funds to carry
Oh the work of the board to the end
of the fiscal year. (June 30, 1907
p Your committee would further
state that the estimated revenue from
the State School Fund placed in the
estimate of receipts sent to the City
Council for the ensuing year, is the
same amount as has been received tn
present year, the revenue from non.
resident pupils is an uncertain guam
tity and the 800, 900 to the account

ELECTION OF SENATOR'S.

In the last issue of his paper. the
Commoner Mr. Bryan, makes an ap-
peal for an effort in behalf of the
popular elections of Senators that
deserves the serious consideration of
the people. Here in Arizona we would
be glad to be represented by Sena-
tors at Washington, chosen in the old
way or by direct vote of the peopIe
put we presume that If the people had
an opportunity to decide for them
selves they would prefer to select
Senator's by a direcL vote. A resolution
has recently passed the House OF he
representatives. for a Constitutional
amendment providing for the election
OF United States Senators by popular
vote. THIS Is the fourth time that the
House, ny more than two thirds vote.
has declared for this amendment
Three times it has been killed in the
Senate.
Manifestly it is a case where the
people should let the Senate know
what they think about 1t, and Mr.
Bryan proposes this plan of action:
II the resolution proposing an
amendment can be brought to a vote
In the Senate 1t will pass. for even
The Tucson citizen. [volume] (Tucson, Ariz.) 1901-1928, 1902-03-05

those who prefer the election Of Sena-
tors by Legislatures are afraid to
either speak or vote against what they
know to be a popular demand. The
hour is ripe for action; the question Is
one of great Importance; your in
tiuence Will have It's weight Do not
delay let your wishes be known. Send
postal carus; send letters; send petit
tons; hold public meetings and for
ward resolutions. Act, and act at once.
The Citizen most heartily indorses
this proposition, and If there were
Arizona Senators in Washington 1t
would give us pleasure to keep them
properly informed regarding the senti-
ments OF the people. We do not be-
leve there is much question that the
people desire mat this change should
be made. 1t mas been demanded by
dozens of conventions of all political
parties, and the Wal of the people has
been clearly reflected by the votes of
their Representatives The only thing
in the way of the reform is the OBJ
1 stinancy of Senators. who appear to be
afraid to submit their merits to the
test of popular vote.
! And the people are very justly and
| reasonably in favor of this measure.
because the present system Is objec-

/ takes away the direct responsibility to
the people for legislation which ought
/ to exist in every legislator. 1t has fire.
quently resulted in oeadlocks, which
have prevented States from having a
proper representation IN the Senate.
! At the present time the State of Della
ware is not represented in the Senate
at all 1t has repeatedly consumed the
time of State Legislatures through
whole sessions and prevented them
from attending to their legitimate
work. PROFESSIONALLY the system
ought to be changed, but it will take
something more than reasonable plead
ing to induce the Senators to change
it. State Legislatures are sometimes
sale iutrenchment for weak statesmen.

The PHILIPPINE TARIFF.

The Philippine tariff bill which was
finally passed by Congress yesterday,
and now awaits the Presidents sigma
ture. is not notable for anything in
particular except it's assertion Of the
right to legslate for the Philippine is
lands. which is as complete a recog-
milton of the islands as part of the
United States as could be made. and
it's violation of the ''opel door
pledge.
1t Is true that all other nations
have their goods admitted to the
Philippines at the Taft commission
rates, the same as those from me
United States. but goods coming to the
United States from the Philippines
have a reduction OF 20 per cent, from
the Dingley duties and in addition to
that a reduction of any Philippine ex-
port iuties that are charged.
This necessarily gives an advantage
to the United States in Philippine COM
merce. Moreover it is recognition Of
the Philippines as part Of the United
States. as 1t entities all those nations
to like reduction which nave treaties
with the most favored nation clause.
The Democrats were wise in voting
solidly against the measure. We arc
getting into tangle as to insular af-
fairs that it will take centuries to
straighten out.
