A SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY,

Kodol Dyspepsia Cure does for the
stomach that which it is unable to do
for itself, even when but slightly dis
ordered or overloaded. Kodol Dyspep-
STA Cure supplies the natural juices of
digestion and does the work of the stom-
ach, relaxing the nervous tension, while
the inflamed muscles of that organ are
allowed to rest and heal. Kodol Dys-
pepsia Cure digests what you eat and
enables the stomach and digestive organs
to transform all food into rich, red
blood. Sold by F. A. Shurtleff & Co.

Are We an Intelligent Naticn?

With Get-Rich-Quick Miller and
his confederate, Colonel Bob Ann
mon, safely behind the bars, the
strenuous district attorney of New
York still finds it necessary to save
well meaning and frugal people from
investing their savings where they
are guaranteed perfect safety and
productiveness at the rate of $40 per
cent a year.
A new syndicate has been started
for the benefit of the intelligent in
vestor, who is solemnly assured that
his returns on $50 will be at least $
a week. The promoters are keeping
i'm the dark, but the people with the
money know how to find them, and
thousands of dollars is being thrown
to the birds of prey.
1t is a sad commentary upon our
national intelligence that such
schemes continue to flourish after
the exposures made in the Miller-Am-
mon case. The detection and punish
ment of frauds of this kind, however,
lessen the number of them and teach
at least some people a needed lesson.
1t is the duty of all officers of the law
to keep on in their good work, even if
thousands of worthy people will con-
tinue to swallow the bait.-O. s.

Free trade, so far as can be found
out. is about the only principle upon
which the Democrats Of this present
time are at all united. Even the shad-
ings of it are not so numerous after
all, and certainly the lightest form
of free trade that the country would
get with the Democratic party in pow

the panic brought on by the Wilson
bill.

REPUDIA1E IT. Il
johnson Platform Not Binding
Upon Democrats.
Dodeing National Questions, II Is De-
voted to Ideas no Democratic Ma
tional Convention Ever Passed
Upon.

One Of the greatest speeches of the
Johnson convention was that of Hon.
NJ. A. Daugherty of Lancaster against
the johnson platform and in favor OF
the minority report from the commit
tee on resolutions. He declared that
the minority resolutions were ''the
protest of Democrats of Ohio against
turning our party over to Socialism"
He argued that the minority report
was Democratic according to all stand
ards Of the party. and no one ques-
TONED that assertion since 1t was cor
rect. This Is more SO. because not
one point Of the Johnsonism of the
Ohio platform was ever passed upon
by Democratic national convention.
and thus made a Democratic party
principle. and yet the minority report
Of straight and unquestioned Democ-
racy was without further debate at
once voted down overwhelmingly. and
the majority report. filled with unchal-
lenged Socialism and theories that the
Democracy has never adopted, was
adopted with q hurrah. II had John
sons approval. and that was enough.
but will It have the approval Of the
sober-thinking. conservative. substan-
tial Democrats of Ohio?
Are Ohio Democrats In any way
bound by the Ohio Johnson platform?
II is almost entirely made up Of mat
ters that have never been before any
Democratic national convention. and
have never been submitted to the De.
mocracy Of all the states. much less
passed upon by them. and thus have
not even had an opportunity to receive
recognition as Democratic party psin
ciples. Repudiate as Zimmerman did
