Minot J. Savage has a brand new
theory OF suffrage. He would make it
prize to be attained, not upon the basis
OF money or color or creed on race nor
even sex; but would give it to "those
persons who have character and intelli-
gence enough to makegood citizens. Like
most theorists Of his type, Mr.. Savage
neglects practical consideration of vital

ter and intelligence. The truth is that
only one such tribunal is possible-the
voter himself. Let your important laws
be subject to the principle of the initia-
tive aud..referendum, and you will soon
be able to distinguish good citizen from
your poor one. They would distinguish
themselves. The poor one would be too
Indifferent end lazy to nave any opinion

A TRUE STORY,

Mr.. G. w. Morley, of Seattle, was
troubled for ten years with catarrh OF the
head and bronchial tubes. The discharge
of mucus was so profuse as to necessitato
his sitting up in bed at night to prevent
strangulation.
AS is always the case where there is
dropping down of mucus behind the
palate, catarrhal condition of the
stomach prevailed and in consequence
the whole system was run down.
On the advice Of friend he undertook
the complete Mackenzie treatment for
cata rh. He says now-more than ii year
since commencing-that he is entirely
free from colds. that the nasal passage
and throat are free from catarrhal dis
charges, that his stomach and digestion
are i'm better condition than for wears. In
fact, he says he is a we'll man and at
tributes his good fortune to the Mac
Kenzie Method"
What is this "method?" 1t is simply
the double treatment of catarrh locally
and internally. While the system is
renovated and toned and the poison in
the blood eliminated, the original point
of infection. namely, the nasal passage
and throat, is cured and the source OF the
blood contamination removed.

Republican papers generally congra'u'
lated the party that Mr. Addicks OF Dele
ware had withdrawn from the senatorial
race. 1t seems, however, that MIR. Adj
dicks withdrawal was conditional. The
condition, although not bluntly stated,
was that Mr.. Addicks shonld be permit
ted to name the two senators from that
state. So republican leaders must struggle
along with the Addicks problem while
longer. The objection which these lead
ers prestige as senatorial candidate by
the use of money. That is indeed a
strange objection coming from the re-
OF party that habitually
elects men to the United states senate
whose power and prestige has been won
along the che,k-book route.

bear. When it is remembered that the
bank assets are largely composed of the
deposits, one is tempted to wonder
where the bank depositor will find his
protection when the republican leaders
shall have accomplished their purpose Of
permitting the banks to PUT up their
assets in pawn for government money
and as security for the money which the
banks are to be authorized to issue.

d (SHONEST ARGUMENT.

"When YOU handle PUNK you handle
one OF Bryan's 37.cent dollars. An
Iowa republican paper.
ooh, no, Bro. -; it is what would
have been 37.cent, or less, dollar had
Mr.. Bryan and his party hal their way.
You now handle good, l00-cent PUNK,
thanks to republican success and wis
dom "a mother Iowa republican paper.
The above items from republican
papers illustrate the style OF republican
arguments on the money question. One
hardly knows whether to attribute the
language to ignorance or to desire to
mislead. The silver dollar answers all
useful purposes, and is more used by the
mas, es than gold ever was. And whv is
it good? Because the government makes
it legal tender for all public debts aid
for all private ones, too, Except here
the contract specifically excludes silver).
Money is a medium OF exchange and no
one objects to receiving dollar in pay
ment of debt or in exchange for pur-
chase if he is able to dispose OF it in the
same way, and the legal tender enables
him to dispose OF it. But for the fact
that gold bullion is convertible into coin
no one would be willing to receive it at
fixed amount per ounr', and when
money is scarce and the coin actually
needed for immediate use no one will re-
ceive gold bullion at the same price that
he VIII legal tender money. The un'
fairness of the republican argument con-
sists in the ignoring Of the effect OF law
upon money. The law that makes
money of a particular kind of metal in
creases the demand for that metal the
law that makes it possible for man to
convert given weight OF metal into
given sum of money fixes the market
price of that quantity of bullion. After
legislating against silver and in fasor of
gold the republican editors chuckle to
themselves and even boast with their
pencils that oliver is not able to keep up
with gold. 1t is difficult TO believe that
such editorials as the ones above quoted
are due to lack of knowledge of the SUBJ
ject, and yet it is more charitable to
attribute them to lack OF knowledge
than to evil intent.

ANTITRUST BILLS.

The New York World is authority for
the statement that the republican leaders
o. the senate recently notified the presi-
dent that "they will pass the Elkins
rebate bill, which weakens rather than
strengthens the existing laws against
discrimination between shippers in
freight charges. They will pass the
Knox bill, expediting the trials OF suits
yainst trusts in the federal courts. They
will also pass the bureau OF commerce
bill, including as it does provisions for a
certain measure OF publicity for the
transactions OF all corporations engaged
in foreign or interstate commerce, though
not for so large measure of it as the
p resident has advocated and as is pro-
vided for by the Littlefeld bill. But the
1.ittlefield bill, passed by the house last
week by unanimous vote, the directors
OF the senate will not attempt to put
through, and they so told the president"
And now we are told by no less an
authority than William f. Curtis, the
Washington correspondent OF the Chi
cago Record. Herald, that the president
h,s turned the cold shoulder to the
Iittlefeld bill.

COMMONER FOR 1908.
William J. Bryan's Paper and the Semi'WeekIy
HERALD.

The Commoner, Mr.. Bryan's paper,
will be especially interesting and IN
structive during the present session OF
congress. The action of this congress
will probably determine the issues upon
witch the next presidential campaign
will be fought. The Commorer propos es
to carry on campaign of education and
organization to the end that democratic
principles may triumph.
In addition to the editorial depart
ment, which receives Mr.. Bryan's per-
sonal attention, The Commoner contains
a Current Topic department, wherein
non. par tisan discussion of topics of
timely interest and other valuable lnfor-
nation will be found. The Home
Department is conducted by an expert
enced woman who is widely known as a
writer of household topics and who is an
authority on the art OF cooking in all
that the term implies. This department
alone is worth the subscription
price. The other departments Ct the
paper are all interesting and ably con-
Quoted, among which is summary OF
the worlds news told in narrative style,
and Maupin's Observation-Disclosures
Common or Not-contains original anec-
dotes and wit, moral lessons in homely
phrase and verse, and appeals to old and
young alike.
The Commoner as whole is clean,
entertaing and instructive, and its rapid
increase in circulation-now amounting
to l4c,O00-is proof of the papers
STRENGTH and influence.
Arrangements have been made with
Mr.. Bryan whereby The. Commoner can
be supplied.at very law rate with the
Semi Weekly Aberdeen HERALD, both
papers for one year for 1925. This offer
applies to both new and renewal SUBJ
scriptions, and should be taken advan-
tage of without delay. All orders should
be sent to the Aberdeen HERALD Office

A PERMANENT TRUTH.

The republicans who try to justify a
colonial policy patterned after Great
Britain's rule in India are in the habit
OF saving that the Declaration of indie
pendence was only intended to accom-
plish an immediate purpose, namely,
the arousing OF the people to the necess-
ity of securing independence. 1t has
been denied that the Declaration was
really intended set forth any permanent
governmental principles.
Those republicans who have been de.
luded into accepting this statement
would do we'll to read the speech made
by Abraham Lincoln at Springfield, ILL.,,
June 26, 1857. In that speech Mr.. Lin.
coin not only pointed out that the
doctrine that call men are CT Gated equal"
was not necessary for the securing of
independence, but that it was presented
as an eternal truth and was intended
for future use.
In these days Of boosted prosperity
the republicans may find it valuable to
remember that Lincoln spoke of the
proneness of prosperity to breeds tryants
and pointed out that it was at just such
times that the Declarati IN of Independ-
ence and its doctrines were needed. He
said:
"The assertion that all men are Great
ed equal was of no practical use in
affecting our separation from Great
Britain and it was placed in the Dec
laration not for that, but for future use.
Its authors meant it to be-as, thank
God, it is now proving itself-a Stun
bling block to those who in after times
might seek to turn free people back in
to the hateful paths OF despotism. They
knew the proneness OF prosperity. to
breed tyrants, and they meant when
such should reappear in this fair land
and commence their vocation, they
should find left for them at | asst one
hard nut to crack
