Did You Know This?

Do you know that neglected cough
or cold leads to consumption? More
people die from the effect of catching
cold than from any other known cause.
There is one remedy, and remember it
only costs 25c., that has proven safe,
unfailing cure for coughs and colds.
1t is called Gooch's Mexican Syrup.
Your druggist has it or will get it for
you. 1t heals and strengthens the
lungs and breathing passages when
nothing else you take seems to do you
good; you had better get bottle to-
day and read the testimonials ON the
wrapper.

Y. World.
On it's record of unfailing service
to the trusts at the expense of the
people the republican party goes be-
fore the voters of this country in the
congressional campaigns. No vague
promises of antitrust legislation

this record.-St. Louis Republic.

democrats to get together in man,
ner initiating the wisdom of the past

tories.-Brooklyn Eagle.
Suits against trusts to compel
them to be trusts according to law are
all very well in their way. But such
suits, as means of giving permanent
relief to the people from trust rob
berry, are about as efficacious as poul
tees for appendicitis. What is wanted
is the destroying surgery of legisla
ton, and nobody can expect that from
republican congress.-San Francisco
Examiner.

An ISSUE THAT STICKS.


When Chairman Griggs, of the
democratic congressional committee,
satirized the republican party and
President Roosevelt for having just
discovered that there is need of eff
fective legislation against trusts,
only the hide-bound organs of his
party gave undivided approval. They
agreed with the chairman that to
run republican campaign upon the
claim that the party. had recently
learned the inadequacy Of the Sher-
man act would make the contest a
huge comedy. Where Representative
Griggs invited opposition was in
bringing a joint Indictment against
congress and the president, says the
Detroit Free Press.
In his zeal to make a sweeping &C
cusation the chairman failed to adj
NIT that the president met with poor
success in his efforts to influence the
policy of the last congress 1t open
1y opposed him in the matter of
Cuban reciprocity and calmly ignored
him as to many of the recommends
lions made in the first message is
sued TO that body by him. So far as
the trust question is concerned con-
gress had it's instructions as to deal
ing with it from the republican ma
tiona1 convention which called for
| their proper regulation in no uncer-
tain terms, yet the majority in abso-
| lutte control did nothing.
To say that it did nothing is too
mild. They voted down every propo,
sition from the democrats for the re-
straint and punishment of monopo-
lies. Now the party managers insist
in stentorian tones that just as soon

as congress assemblies in December
steps will be taken to deal with the
trusts as they deserve. This impor-
tant issue is referred by the domi-
nant party to the short term, when
the amount of unfinished business
will consume the brief time avail
able. The best that can reasonably
be expected is that an antitrust
measure may be framed and referred
to the proper committee. But that
might have been done at the session
just closed, and there is no good
reason why it might not have been
reported and promptly acted upon
had the party SO willed.
The only convincing explanation
is that the republicans in congress
did not wish to antagonize the
trusts, for they are great campaign
contributors when they see a good
investment in the contributions.
and there is to be an election of
congresSmen in the fall
