1t is with JOY tell you what Kodol
did for me. L was troubled with my
stomach for several months. Upon
being advised to use Kodol, 1 did so,
and words cannot tell the good it has
done me. A neighbor had dyspepsia
so that he had tried most everything.
told him to use Kodol.. Words of
gratitude have come to me from him
because / recommended it.-George
w. Fry, Viola, Iowa. Health and

Mason Scores Hopkins, Yates and
Cannon.

After he had read in the morning
papers yesterday the account of the
speech of y. J. Hopkins at Aurora, in
which the congressman favored by
the republican state committee as a
senatorial candidate ignored the mat
ter of ) per cent assessments on
state employees, Senator William E
Mason was in a self-satisfied mood.
''Of course Hopkins didn't mention
it," he said, land it was for a very
good reason-he couldn't deny the
fact, now notorious, that every per-
son on the pay roll of the state, even
the scrubwomen, is mulcted for the
benefit of Gov. Yates and the crowd
that with him forms a trust in the
management of the state organlZa-
tions-Hopkins, Lorimer and Cannon.
The charges that l have made are
simply unanswerable, and it is evi-
dent that the fact is recognized by
Mr.. Hopkins.
''The question of where the $4,000
annually goes continued the sena-
tor, lis easily answered. 1t goes di-
rectly into the governors control;
he cannot plead ignorance of its col
lection or disbursement. His Heuten-
ants handle it for him, but if an in
vestigation could be had tomorrow
and could put the governor on the
witness stand / could show that he
knows all about it.
'Never before has there been so
outrageous a condition of things as
regards the shameless robbing of ev-
erybody holding a state Office. l get
letters every day telling of new
cases. There was one case, out at
the Elgin hospital for the insane, of
a man getting a small salary, who
was told to pay up or get out. His
wife was very ill, and he replied that
he absolutely needed the money, but
the answer was: If you haven't the
money go and borrow it; we must
have it, That shows how considerate
of individuals as well as of the good
of the state these vultures are.
'In my. whole political experience 1
never knew anything so open and
general as this assessment business.
There were assessments levied by
Gov. Altgeld, but they were trivial
compared with the present system.

His Sight Threatened.

"While picnicking last month my
11-year-old boy was poisoned by some
weed or plant" says w. H. Dibble, of
Sioux City, Iowa. "He rubbed the
poison off his hands into his eyes and
for a while we were afraid he would
lose his sight. Finally a neighbor
recommended DeWitt's Witch Hazel
Salve. The first application helped
him and in few days he was as well
as ever" For skin diseases, cuts,
burns, scalds, wounds, insect bites,
DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve is sure

In all my career / never asked for or
received, directly or indirectly, mon
ey from such a souree-and / have
secured the appointment of a great
many men. l was brought up in the
old fashioned school of political lead
ers that did not look upon politics as
private business, but nominated
and elected candidates who could be
useful to their party through their
ability. The charge made by Con-
gressman Cannon that attempts are
being made to belittle the real issues
of this election by dragging in unim-
portant matters is based only upon
the belief of the crowd now controll-
ing the republican state committee
that the one and only issue before
the people of Illinois in this election
is whether Richard Yates and his
gang shall be continued in office.
There are no other issues to them
"Do you think there is any possibil-
ity that the governor will be impeach-
ed?" Senator Mason was asked.
'Do 1 think it possible!" exclaimed
the senator, 81 think it extremely
probable. Get a law dictionary and
look up the word impeachment, and
see if it does not fit the case of Gov.
Yates. He has utterly failed to OBJ
serve his oath of office. / don't care
to say what specific measures may be
under way, but 1 am certain that
there will come swift and deadly ret
ribution on the heads of everybody
connected with the levying of these
assessments. There are now three
eases of giving back the 5 per cent
involuntary contribution because
the men from whom it was collected
demanded it back. And now every
one of those who have been held up
can sue and recover; what is more.
they are likely to do it. 1t means the
downfall of the present state central
committee, nothing else
II don't know whether this per
cent business will help me or not"
said Senator Mason in reply to a
question, but L do know it will hurt
the men who manipulated the last
convention so as to secure an in
dorsement that was essentially
fraudulent in its character. l feel as
confident as ever that L am going to
be reelected; there has never been Il
moment when l did not feel this"
These few remarks from the junior
Illinois senator ought to hold the
state republican machine for while.

Tom johnson and His Record.

Mayor Tom l.. johnson. of Cleve
land, who is being doomed by numer
Gus prominent democrats as a candi-
date for the presidential nomination
in 1904. was first mentioned in that
connection when he was elected to
the mayoralty of Cleveland in 1901.
Mr.. johnson made his entrance into
politics by the single tax route. Some
years ago, when his only purpose in
life was the accumulation of riches,
Mr.. johnson accidentally picked up a
copy of Progress and Poverty" He
read it through, and was impressed,
but being doubtful of his own judg-
ment turned the book over to his
lawyer for an opinion. At first the
lawyer said it was all nonsense, but
upon reading the book through be-
came a convert himself. Mr.. Johnson
is Il warm advocate of nationaliza-
tion of large industries.
His record as mayor of Cleveland
in which he has stood irrevocably on
the side af the people in all instances,
forcing the large corporations TO pay
their just proportion of the taxes and
to be fair with the public, has won
him the good Will of the entire state
of Ohio and made him logical cam
ddate for the highest office in the
gift of the nation. Aside from his
personal popularity and strength Mr..
johnson has the political advantage
of being the favorite of such great
party leaders as Hon. w. J. Bryan
and Hon. Ben T. Gable.

The fame of the medical staff of
the Illinois Y Ray 1nfirmary, with
DIR. j. Alvin Horne as president, is
positively unmatched in the state by
that of any other body of medical spe-
cialists. There is good reason for this
they cure the most desperate chronic
cases after they have been abandoned
by other physicians as incurable, and
their high professional reputation is
therefore merited.
These physicians treat a certain
class of diseases and confine their
practice to them alone.
They treat and cure all chronic, ner-
vous and organic diseases of both men
and women.
Their methods of diagnosis and
treatment are scientifically in adj
vance of all ordinary methods in med
icine and surgery. They are masters
of all pelvic weaknesses and diseases,
as they affect the male and female,

President Roosevelt acknowledges
that the trust is the greatest evil of
the times and one that should be
checked by constitutional change if
necessary. But the president does
not want the people to do too much
thinking on the subject.
Rock Island Argus., 1902-08-25

The president much prefers con-
stitutional change to meet the trust
question than any congressional ac-
tion in that direction. The former
would be the longest way about,
with the uncertainty of supreme
court Interpretation in the end, while
the latter would be simply a short
cut by means of a tariff cut.
