II is one of the saddest things in life
to see beautiful young girl Ian
~ onishinp on a bed of sickness, when

- gushing on a bed OF sickness, when
she should be strong and healthy, filing
the home with the sunshine of her happy
face. Somehow or other as the mother is
the center of the home, the daughter seems
to be its greatest JOY or its greatest care.
A home with an invalid daughter is like a
hospital. The sufferer with her pale
blanched face calls for every ones care and
sympathy. How different is the home
where, healthy girl sheds her happy in
fluence and ministers to the comfort of
every one in a thousand pleasant ways.
1t is remarkable that SO many women
will forfeit health and then suffer the con-
sequence Of pain and sickness when it is
unnecessary. Women who enjoy this
greatest of Natures blessings are liable to
forget that health can be easily lost by neg
lect. They cannot realize that the loss of
sleep, a little cold or irregularity of habits
can result disastrously until they once suf-
fer painful menses. Menstrual troubles are
generally the beginning of women's trou-
bles. The vitality is at low ebb, the
blood weakened, the digestion disordered

OPTIMISM THAT Is FATAL.

"God bless the Opt mis- to
SHOUTS the Republican spell-bind-
er. Well, optimism is good when
it rests upon a sound fOunda-
ton; it is bad when it blinds one
to approaching dangers. 1t is
one thing to have faith in the
ultimate triumph of a cause and
quite another thing to ignore
reasonable warnings and The les
sons of experience. We don't
say: "God bless the man who
stumbles into a hole without
seeing it, or God bless the
man who sleeps while his house
is burning" There is a golden
(and silver mean between the
doubt that retards healthy pro-
gress and the over confidence
that invites catastrophe.
Just now the republicans are
very optimistic; they want to
'1et we'll enough alone" They
resent any suggestion OF reverse,
and scout at the possibility OF
calamity. They are rushing
headlOng into new conditions
and are leading the country into
untried paths. They are sure
that we can maintain a republic
here and at the same time adj
minister a colony in the Orient,
unmindful Of the fact that con-
sistency will ultimately compel
us to adopt at home the princi-
pies which we defend abroad.
They are sure that they can
safely encourage the growth OF
private mono poles not With
standing the inevitable tendency
of man to use power for his own
selfish purposes.
They think they can permit
watered stock and fictitious CAPT.
talization seemingly Indifferent
to the interests OF the many who
must suffer from unjust rates in
order that dividends may be
paid on stock that represents no
actual investment.
They are giving free reign to
the financiers, Indifferent to the
fact that in all history they have
never been known to consider OF
conserve the interests of the pro-
ducing masses.
Belshazzar was optimistic up
to the night Of BabylOn's fall,
and the Republicans of today are
initiating him as closely as pos
sible. Theirs is the fatal Optim-
ism that refuses to recognize the
logic Of events or to apply rea-
son to the affairs of government.

well attended, considering it was
on a postponed date, and con
sidering also that it came off on
Fair week. The program con-

Tom Moseley, candidate for

was also vocal and Instrumental
music-the latter furnished by

Games and races of various kinds,
including a ball game between

in which Ellinwood won out in a
score of 4 to ?.
The weather was just elegant,
and all who participated report
it a very pleasant day we'll

The republicans of Kansas
dare not meet the democrats on
the issue of taxation. The re-
publican party is strengthened
and sustained by the great, cor
poration tax-dodgers, and they
dare not take a stand in favor
Of ALL classes OF property. Do
you, voter, believe the non-resi-
dent owners of corporation stock
should pay the same proportion
OF taxes that you do? II SO,
vote the democratic ticket from
governor down, and show to the
republicans that our tax laws
are adequate if properly ad-
ministered.

Yet more and more it is evident that
the state, and if necessary, the nation,
has got TO possess the right of super
vision and control as regards the great
corporations which are its creatures :;
par ticularly as regards the great bust
ness combinations which derive por-
ton of their importance from the ex-
istence of some monopolistic tendency.
Theodore Roosevelt, in speech at
Minneapolis September 2, 1901.
The democrats and populists
for years have been advocating
public control and public owner
ship of these same trust-cOn-
trolled public utilities. That
has been foreseen for many years
by the advanced thinkers in our
parties, and President Roosevelt
showed himself far beyond his
party when he thus publicly &C
knowledged the inevitable out
come of trust aggression. The
trouble with the president is,
that his party cannot, and will
not. fly in the face Of these great
corporations for fear of losing
their influence in the elections.
Therefore the president, and all
others who are far-sighted
enough to see what has got to
cone some time, had best be
honest with themselves and their
people and give their support to
the party which is in no manner
under obligation to these same
great corporations.

II TELL you we haven't had a

honest republican primary in

said Hon. J. B. Larimer, a repub-
lican insurgent of Shawnee
county, in public meeting at
Tecumseh last Friday. And he
might have spead the assertion
over the whole state, and made
it fit, too. The party which will
put on it's ticket for state treas
urer a confessed embezzler and
crook like Kelly, and rally to
his support, is certainly under
the management of men willing
to condone any crookedness in
order to win. We honestly be-
lieye that the better element Of
republicans will repudiate at the
polls throughout the state that
trickery in politics by which their
managers seek to win.

DON'T get weary when you run
up against that trouble about
the new school books for the
kids. Just remember that the
republican party of Kansas is
. the hireling of the school book
trust, and that the said school
book trust might get it's hooks
onto some of the Kansas money.
If, however, you continue to
vote for the party which is re-
spOnsible for the school book
graft, you are a bigger chump
than ThompsOn's colt, and
ought to be made to change
books at every recess.
The fact that the steel trust made

Rev. punkle Talks.

The Ardmorelte of Friday the 10th
makes a statement which, while not
far from the facts. Is far enough to be
misleading and hurtful to the interests
concerned, and perhaps 1t would not
object to being set Alright in the mat
ter.
II says: "An tffort Is now being
made to effect an agreement between
the Northern and Southern Methodists
into using the same hymnal. It does
seem that after so long a time Chris
tians ought to at least be able to sing
the same tune"
The fact Is, 1t has been for more
than year agreed, by the two
churches mentioned. to compile and
use common hymnal, and the work
of compilation is now being done. At
the same time, and by the same com.
missioners. a common order of service
and book of catechism has been ar
ranged for.
Thinking it due to the two great de.
nominations and the general public to
be set Alright in the matter, am,
Yours truly.

How to Prevent Group.

1t will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign Of
Group Is hoarseness. A day or two
before the attack the child becomes
hoarse. This is soon followed by a
peculiar rough cough. Give Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy freely as soon
as the child becomes hoarse, or even
after the rough cough appears, and II
will dispel all symptoms OF Group. In
this way all danger and anxiety may
be avoided. This remedy is used by
many thousands of mothers and has
never been known to fail. It is, IN
fact, the only remedy that can always
be depended upon and that is pleasant
and safe to take. For sale by City
