Places for the President.

One of the important missions de-
volving upon the president is that of
providing fat places for statesmen
whom the last elections left without
jobs and with whom office-holding
has become chronic. President Nc.
Kinley was fairly compelled to make
up the st. Louis exposition commits
sion of men who had fallen outside
the breastworks in their attempts to
come back to one house OF congress
or the other. The present commits
sion is made up almost entirely of
these gentry.
Now there is an Isthmian canal
commission to be named. and while
some of its members are to be experts
from the engineering corps of the
army, the rest will be civilians. For
these civilian positions the applica-
tions are beginning to come in al
ready. The ''lame ducks" will prob
ably always be with us. 1t was Lin
coin who gave them their name. He
had great deal of trouble with them
during his administration, and found
ii very difficult to make up commits
sions provided for by congress with
out being compelled to take care of
them. One day, in speaking of them.
he called them lame ducks and
the name has stuck ever since.

so long as the results are favorable
TO themselves, who are standing
menace to the permanent prosperity
of our country.
They are not producers or creators
of wealth; they cannot be classed
with such brilliant organizers as
Morgan; they are simply barnacles
on the ship of business and their
Operations clog and retard the legiti-
mate industrial life of the nation.
They are constantly on the lookout
for some chance tp spring a business
Lcoup-de-etat by which they can in
crease their wealth without producing
n single dollars worth of value.
The nation would be better off
without them and business would
move along much smoother channels
than it does. In the case of Gates
gambling seems to have become n
mania, and anything is acceptable
from a horse race up if it only Of
fers a chance for him to bet on. If
he would confine his efforts to these
forms of amusement no particular
harm would be done except to him
self or his victims, but when he
manfpulateS such colossal deals as
the late corner in corn he hurts bust
ness generally and disturbs values to
such an extent to be a menace and
danger to prosperity.

Mother AlwaxsKe n mandy.

'My mother suffered long time
from distressing pains and general
i'll health due primarily to indiges-
tion," says i. w. Spalding, Verona,
Mo. 1.-Two years ago I got her to try
Kodol. She grew better at once, and
now, at the age of &c, eats anything
she wants, remarking that she fears
no bad effects as she has her bottle
of Kodol handy" Don't waste time
doctoring symptoms. Go after the
cause. If your stomach is sound
your health will be good. Kodol
rests the stomach and strengthens
the body by digesting your food. 1t
is natures own tonic. All druggists.

Poisoning the system.

1t is through the bowels the body
is cleansed of impurities. Constipa-
ton keeps these poisons in the sys-
tenn, causing headache, dullness and
melancholia at first, then unsight1y
eruptions and finally serious illness
unless remedy is applied. DeWitt's
Little Early Risers prevent this trou-
BILE by stimulating the liver and pro-
mote easy, healthy action of the
bowels. These little pills do not act
violently, but by strengthening the
bowels enable them to perform their
own work Never grippe or distress.

Give 1t Up.

Moline, H., July 21.-Editor Argus:
have noticed from time to time
references in The Argus to the lack
of system in properly designating the
various routes of the Tri-City Rail
way company by signs of coloPs on
the cars, this being especially appli-
cable TO the main lines running be-
tween Rock Island and Moline. Yes
terday cars lettered plainly Rock
Island and Moline-Third Avenue"
and Rock Island and Moline-Fourth
Avenue" were in commission on the
Prospect park line in Moline, and but for
the fact that they were running up
and down the hill no one would have
known where they were bound for.
Will you please explain wherein
comes the advantages of signs at all
where so misleading?
