SHE MADE A CHANGE.
A Charleston Mother Did So With
Advantage to Herself and Children.

A mother living in Charleston, Mass,
the happy possessor of four children
writes: Every fall and winter l have
laid in stock of cough remedies, Group
mixtures and throat medicines for my
children. for somehow or other they never
seem to be free from colds, coughs or sore
throat.
This fall 1 made change in the usual
program. l had myself been cured OF an
obstinate catarrh. from which / had suf-
fered for years, by Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets. and as they were pleasant to
take l determined TO try them with my
children. Our family physician told me
he knew them to be perfectly safe and
nothing better could be used for catarrh,
coughs and colds.
so 1 gave them to the children and
have continued TO do so ever since, when
ever there is the least sign Of Group or
sore throat and no longer dread the ap-
proach of cold weather as 1 once did
''Stuart's Catarrh Tablets not only
cured me of chronic nasal and throat
catarrh but they have saved me many
an anxious night with my little ones.
The children like the taste of them and
it is really wonderful how quickly they
will break up d croupy cold or an obsti-
nate. deep seated cough
People who have used sprays, inhalers,
salves or washes for catarrh and have
found how useless they are, will be agree
ably surprised at the results following
the use of pleasant. convenient, internal
remedy in tablet form. Druggists every
where admit that Stuarts Catarrh Tab
lets. which sell for 30 cents full sized
package, is the safest. most effective and
popular of catarrh medicines.

ing, did not collect 81, 300 in twenty-three
months.
/ Not a figure in the article put out by
I the managers of the Citizens ticket in
the special edition issued yesterday is
correct. There are six items of fineable
vice given and ali of them are not only
wrong, but show such dense ignorance of
the principles of reasoning that any
bright child in town would laugh at the
laundering manner of their compilation.
The statement alleges that Sunday priv
ileges are allowed-that is to be plain,
that for a stipulated or an unstipulated
price some saloons are allowed to run"
on Sundays. This is another blunder, in
this. that the statement is made two years
too late. During the two years that
Frank Burt has been chief of police. he
has not been into the saloons of Wichita
but once. That was when he assumed
his duties. and he went around to every
saloon proprietor in Wichita and gave
{ them personal orders that if he found
any Of them doing business on the Sab
bath day. he would make them dance.
Some three or four thought he was like
, former chiefs of police and didn't mean
it. but very soon he yanked these fell
! lows up and not only made the city nearly
| 81. 600 richer by filming them. but broke up
Sunday traffic in intoxicating drinks in
Wichita during the entire administration
Of Ben Mclean.
Another laundering statement made by
the managers of the Citizens campaign
is that which says: Under the Ross adj
ministration public re<ord was kept so
the public could see and examine at any
time; the Mclean administration has kept
no public record, and why?"
This LIST statement is a great injustice
to Mr.. Ross because some interested cit
liens may take Il notion to go down to
the city building and ascertain that NO
TENTED REPORT HAS EVER BEEN
MADE OF THE TRANSACTIONS OF
THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IN THIS
CITY EXCEPT UNDER THE ADMIN
ISTRATION OF BEN M'LEAN.
Now then comes a serious matter and
one that every good citizen will regret.
1t is one that touches the patriotism of
every good Wichitan whether ne or she
is supporting Finlay Ross or Ben Mclean.
The campaign viii be over in three weeks
and no matter who is elected to the office
of mayor. he will and ought to have the
support of the people provided he is elect
ed fairly and squarely and decently.
Everybody viii be proud of Wichita and
everybody will want all the outside world
to know that Wichita is a good place to
visit and TO live in. That is one of the
reasons why certain conduct and methods
pursued by the curbstone politicians OF
the Citizens party is regrettable. The
other and main regrettable reason is that
the conduct and methods of the said GER
tain curhstone politicians of the Citizens
party affect the reputation of the woman
hood of Wichita. That. every man ought
TO defend instead of assail. There isn't
and cannot be any legitimate reason why
the reputation of the fair sex should be
unfairly questioned for the direct or indi-
rect influence it would have in a cam
paign.

The Fact Becoming Evident.

Bessemer Journal
 The fact is becoming more evident every day that the only hope for the national success of the Democratic party lies in he nomination of Grover Cleveland foI president. There are several other men who are ready to accept the nomination and whose policies may be as good as Mr. Clevelands but what the Democratic par ty wants and must have is man who stands a fighting chance. Many of Us nave disagreed with and criticized MT Clevelands actions, but his judgment and manhood stands today pre-eminently above the censure he has received from his own fellows. and by all conserv4tiv minds he Is considered the grandest man within the Democratic ranks at the pres ent time.

WE'VE oor rHEM ouEss1Nc

It is very evident that some of our Republican friends have lost much of the cock-sureness which characterized their predictions only a few weeks ago. It is not only that the results of the late cleo tions were not what they expected, but that there are other evidences of dissatis- faction existing which are not entirely pleasant for our opponents to contem- plate. Consequently. we find them be- ginning to discuss probabilities and chances, instead of claiming everything. This from The Kansas City Journal is a fair specimen of recent comments:
 Now that Nebre Tka and Colorado may safely be counted in the Republican col umn, and there is nothing to Indicate that any Western State which gave it's elec- torai vote to Mckinley will become Demo- cratic 1t is apparent that the battle of 1904 must be fought in New York and the other Eastern States which are custom arily regarded as close. Maryland. Connecticut, Rhode Island will all be good fighting ground. Most of these States were formerly Democratic, turning Re- publican only when Bryanism became certain that, with Cleveland, German or some other sound money leader at the head of the ticket, they would not go back to their old allegiance; Two or three contested.
 whether Colorado and Nebraska will ever be Democratic Is doubtful. They have always been Republican or Popu- listic in Presidential years and will proba- bly, remain so. The Democratic Party has little to expect from the West. In the middle West there is better fighting ground. Cleveland carried Illinois and Indiana in 1892, and on the Pacific coast he carried Washington and California. A proper ticket might bring them all back where they ought to be.
 Of the other States named by The Journal, Connecticut, Maryland, Dela- ware and New Jersey were Democratic in 1892 and ought to be again. Rhode | Island barely got into the Harrison column. and is now Democratic. There ought to be no doubt about New York There can be no ground for doubt about any Southern State. Nothing but un- adulterated political lunacy can detach a Southern State from the Democratic UuI luCACuSdDlS blunderlng can prevent Democratic suc- | cess next year.
 And that is just what our opponents are counting on. The Journal shows this by telling us that there is a possibility, however. as often happens. that what ought to be done by the Democracy will not be done" and further comforts itself by the reflection that Bryanism. while it seems to be in eclipse, Is not oblterated and 1t may prove that it is still potent for the kind of mischief for which it is famous"
 Just so. The Republicans hope that our party will not do what 1t ought to do. md further hope that the influence of MT. Bryan will be powerful enough to do the Democracy an irreparable mischief. We regret to say that the enemy has cause for both these hopes and expectations. What Democracy ought to do is to nomi- nate Mir. Cleveland. All the same, we've got the Republicans guessing and calcu- lating.

Professor of Chemistry at the Polytechnic Institute at Auburn, and the state Chemist. read before the recent con- Nention of \ Agricultural Commissioners in this city, were the ablest and most in teresting of all the papers before that dis tnguished body. He spoke on fertilizers and sugar cane syrups, and he not only showed deep research and entire famil- larlty With his subjects. but he handled them with charm and in such a learned and attractive way as to hold the close attention of all present and elcited the highest praise

IS HE P1AY1Na A eAMEr

The Omaha World-Herald, summing up the results of the late elections, declares that the third day of November will be remembered "as the day that saw the tide begin to ebb from Theodore Roose- velt.'' It sums up the issues. the candi- dates and the pluralities, and declares to New York it argues:
 It is not easy to conceive how any public man could suffer a more ca1amitous blow in an election in which he did not appear as a candidate than did Mir. Roose- welt on Tuesday. He, with Mayor Low and Governor 0dell. constituted the great triumvirate that, in the event of victory tics as the undisputed masters of the Elm pire State. And he sustained not only a disastrous but an ignominious defeat. New York decided in favor of even Tam, many when Roosevelt, Low and Odell constituted the alternative.
 Is it not at least possible that the Presidents nasty and indefensible action regarding Panama was conceived and in- tended as a stroke of policy to bind the country to him? Is it not at least pos sible that he foresaw what might happen on Tuesday, and that he took time by the forelock and began to lay the plans to bring on just what has happened on the Isthmus, and thus give him an op- portunity for a master stroke. as he con- ceives, by recognizing the new straw re- pubiic7
 Suppose Roosevelt's precipltancy in the Panama affair should bring on a war. not only with Colombia. but with some foreign nation-would not that be just what he wants? He knows that when our government is engaged in a war the people will stand by their country, and by the administration which is carrying on the war. Knowing this. what better card could he play to hold power and en- sure his triumph next year than by get ting the United States into a war with some other government? It looks very much as if Roosevelt is playing a desper- ate game to save himself.

The Portsmouth Cva.J Star, thinks that Hanna offers the means of getting rid of Roosevelt We'll, that depends. If Hanna should set out to get the nomina- tion he would be a force to be reckoned with by Roosevelt, and the result would be doubtful. at all events. He says that the talk of nominating him is all non- sense, and insists that he doesn't want the nomination. but he would not be the first to accept what he had protested that he didn't want. He could make the President pass some sleepless nights, anyhow.

An Inquiry.
Hurtsboro, Ala. Nov. sth, 1903

durlSDOTO, Ala, NOV' oIn lSuo. Editor The Advertiser:
 Am correct in the opinion that a man of alien birth Is debarred by the Consti- tuition from being President of the United States?
 Since the election af Col. G. B. Mo- Clellan on the 3rd inst. as Mayor of New York, he has frequently been mentioned by the newspapers as a possible candi- date for President on the Democratic ticket. In a sketch of his life in The Advertiser a few days ago, 1t was stated that he was born in Dresden, Germany, while his parents were visiting that coun- try. Does not the fact that he was not born in this country prevent him from ever being President. however worthy he might be?
 I shall be obliged for an answer through The Advertiser. Yours truly, s. W. Roberts. IColonel McClellands parents were citi- zens of the United States at the time of his birth. and he is not amenable to the prohibition of election to the Presidency because of their temporary absence from | this country at that interesting period | of his life.-Advertiser.]

Never Was in It.

B1rmIngham NeWs.
 MT. Hearst never was in the race. This is too big a country, and there are too many interests to protect to have a man like him at the head of the Government. As a grandstand player out for the ad- vertising he has already acquired some not give him a serious thought as their nominee for President. What this country needs is not a spectacular man in the Presidents chair We have already had enough of that. An honest, thoughtful conservative bubsiness man is needed, and Hearst does not fill that bill.

The Troy (N. Y.l Press says:

A prodigious Presidential point is the great probability that 8 Grover Cleveland candidacy could win the 36 indispensable electoral votes Qf the State of New York, and yet greatEr probability that Arthur Pue Gorban could not.
 And the Press might have added that there Is no certainty that any other man whom the Democrats can nominate will win those ''S6 indispensable votes." With him as the candidate we look on New York as safe, and we consider it doubt full with any other candidate.

Two Good Features.

DecdCuT NeWS.
 There are two especially good features noticeable in the election results this week. In Ohio Tom Johnson was showed under by an avalanche of votes. This is emphatically the death knen of Bryan ism-the deadliest foe Democracy ever had-in that State. In Maryland and New York the Democrats were successful. which is a solar pleXus blow for Roose- welt. All that Is needed now to insure Democratic success in 1924 Is the nomina- tiOn of Grover Cleveland.

It isn't fair to charge any part of the Republican defeat in New York to sena- tor Platt. When certain man spoken of in the Bible was invited to feast his aIi-sufficient reply was: "I have mar ried wife, and therefore cannot come" He didn't seem to think it necessary to add anything to that excuse. and 1t ought to be excuse enough for Platt. He has no time to fool away on politics.
