I'LL Stuffed Up

That's the condition of many sufferers
from catarrh, especially in the morning.
Great difficulty is experienced in clear
ing the head and throat.
No wonder catarrh causes headache,
impairs the taste, smell and hearing,
pollutes the breath, deranges the stom-
ach and affects the appetite.
To cure catarrh, treatment must be
Constitutional Alternative and tonic.
Il was afflicted with catarrh. I took

The skill of the gunners of the

proved our ability in the Spanish

UFoved that it was very neal irwin

was why we had such accuracy of

plies to the army, although the work

nature of patrol duty in our new pos

craftsmanship was necessary. It is
rGrue that when the test has, come, il
Ehas always been found ready, Lut
sthe battles in the Philippines have
been mere skirmishes compared with
Others in which the American army
has engaged. The skill of the Amer.

When he becomes a soldier he has the

"A HAIR TRIGGER CRITIC.

These are the political 'dogdays
Sand the space writers of certain yellow
Journals are hard pressed for material.
1t is not surprising, therefore, to find
an the Twin City papers al occasional
S'pipe dream pertaining to North
Dakota. Such an one was that re-
gently published in the Minneapolis
journal, wherein the space scribbler
~sendeavored to make it appear that a
great scramble was in progress for the
shoes Of one Of our senators, whose
physical indisposition the said SCHILLER
distoted into a funeral procession.
The strange part of it all is that
~any North Dakota paper should have
reproduced the silly stuff in it's
columns, and stranger still, that a
reputable paper like the Grand Forks
Herald should have made it the basis
sof serious comment. The Herald adj
units that the Journal article was re-
:.plete with many 'spredictions and as
~sumptions, and then proceeds. i'm
mediately to lecture the republican
organization of the state because, from
the Herald point of view, "The peo-
pie" are deprived Of their rights, and
have no voice in political affairs.
~"Rhis would be q serious charge, if
7Srue, and if 1t were also true that the
Herald was not chemically addicted
ITO the discovery of "bogy men, in
: every phase Of our system of politics.
The especial weakness in the Herald's
scheme of criticism is that specific
>acharges against particular individuals
in the organization are omitted.
In a court of justice indictments Of
i this character are ''quashed' as a
: matter of course. The Herald is a
good newspaper, but its editorial
y writer, whoever he is, appears to be
! =sufferig from a case of acute jaund,,ce
s-superinduced by dyspepsia.
The Inter-Ocean sincerely believes
Tin the rule of the people under our re-
preventative system of government,
] but it does not believe that, individ-
! ually Or collectively, the men elect
sed to Office in North Dakota are the
type Of men the Herald sage and
Knoralist had in mind when he penned
ahis leading editorial of last Sunday.
Mo state~in the Union is freer from
Gne faults which the Herald complains
'sof. Take the last leg i~slative dele
.:gation from Grand Forks county as an
example, Or the entire legislative body
aShat assembled at BIZ merck last win
: aer, and THE Herald certainly does
: nat msan to be understood as suggest
ing even. by it's favorite route Of in
direction that they were remiss in
their duties; that the people had no
voice in their nomination and cleo
SION Or that in point Of integrity
they were not officials of high charac-
ter, and truly representive of their
several communities and the state at
large. This is true also of our pub
-alc officials generally, There may be
particular exceptions, but they are
Fare; whereas the Herald critic would
make it appear that the rare excep-
'tion among those who participate in
v.the politics of the state is an honest
1anan.
