Better Than Pills.

The question has been asked.
In what way are Chamberlain S

10 pills?' Our answer is: They
are easier and more pleasant to
take, more mild and gentle in effect
and more reliable as they can al
ways be depended upon. Then
they cleanse and invIgorate the
stomach and leave the bowels in a
natural condition, while pills are
more harsh in effect and their use
is often followed by constipation

STATE PRESS COMMENT

Amply Qualified
Some weeks age the Leader suggest
ed that within a year Wyoming was
quite liable to have a representative
ia the cabinet of President Roosevelt
Inc it now seems from the dispatches
from Washington that have been e
ceived within the past forty-eight
hours that II prediction is quite liza
Bile to be fulfilled. 1t is announced that
Judge Van Devanter. now assistant at
torney general, is liable to succeed Mr..
Hitchcock as secretary of the interior.
OF curse we can but rejoice should
such be the fact. That Judge Van De
vanter is amply qualified for such a po-
sition none who know him can have
the slightest doubt and the Leader does
but, as we believe, express the senti'
ments of the great masses of the peo-
Pile of Wyoming when we say that such
an appointment is not only one Of the
best President Roosevelt could posi-
bly, make but hat it would be hailed
with delight by the people of Wyo

The testimony Of General Otis be-
fore the senate committee on insular
affairs was direct, outspoken and
frank, as becomes a soldier. He has
no confidence in the Filipinos, and
doesn't think they will be capable Of
self government for a hundred years.
His opportunities for forming a judg-
ment on this point have been greater
than those of any other American, and
consequently they are entitled to great
weight. The country wants the best
information possible on the whole
Philippine question and it relies on
General Otis as a man of excellent
judgment, sound mi and Of unrival-
ed experience In this matter. 1t is to
be hoped that congress will be able to
act on the various measures affecting
the Philippines and their people with
full knowledge and in a broad. minded
manner. The Fflipinos are children.
and have been hardened by centuries
of abuse and wrong, and while desir.
ing happiness and freedom, they need
restraint and guidance lest they in
flict irreparable injuries On their bene-
factors. their neighbors and them
selves.-Salt Lake Tribune.
