HE Venezuelan trouble will prob
ably be settled without involving all
the great nations of the earth in deadly
conflict on land and sea. Matters have
gone beyond a real "dove of peace''
limit so far as the attitude of Germany
can be ascertained from a long range,
and the chances are that all nations
who have claims against Venezuela
will be justly recognized despite the
loud clamoi' of the Tailed powers'' for
the lions share.

day in the year when all factories, ten

law would be tough on microbes and

February is a Square Month.


If you will look at your calendar YOU
will find that February is pretty nearly
square month, that is, each day of
the week occurs four times and fills the
four lines full across the spaces used
for figures. This will not occur again
until 1914.
While February is the shortest
month, it contains two of the five legal
holidays authorized by law in Mime
sofa, viz: Lincoln's birthday, on the
18th, and Washington's birthday, on
the 22nd. There is no difference be-
tween legal holiday and national
holiday, that is, both holidays are legal.
There is only one national holiday
established by congress, Labor day, the
first Monday in September. All other
holidays are local, or state, even though
every state keeps them. Mississippi is
the only state without legal holidays

Has Bro. Spencer Opinions2

Bro. Spencer, of the Advocate, app
pears to think it unnecessary for him
to have an opinion on national ques-
tons. He has small regard of his
own influence. He has hundreds of
democratic readers who have clearly
defined opinions on national questions.
In this republic of ours where there
are no sovereigns, each individual has
right to opinions on national ques-
tions as vel as on state or county
matters. The pinions of these indi-
viduals collected together constitute
American public opinion which makes
presidents, creates public policies and
practically directs the career of a
nation. A democratic party paper
that doesn't feel equal to the exertion
of having an opinion on whether
Cleveland or Bryan, or either of them,
should be the party's candidate for
president, isn't much of paper.
Now we would be pleased to see
Bro. Spencer commit himself on this
interesting question for two or three
reasons and as he offers to do so If we
will tell the people whether we we're
for A. B. Cummins two years ago and
whether we are for him now, we accept
the proposition. We have nothing to
conceal on that subject or any other
public question. A reference to the
files of this paper would have answer
ed Bro. Spencer's questions If he had
really been wanting to know, and If it
were truthful representations he de-
sired to make. We were not for A.
B. Cummins for governor two years
ago prior to the Cedar Rapids con-
vention, but were for John Herriott,
of this district. However, as soon
as he was nominated we were for
him and publicly and privately advo-
Gated his election, and voted for him.
We are for his denomination now and
hope he will have no opposition, and
predict that he will be reelected gov
ernor this fall over any man the dem
ocrats can nominate by as big ma
iority as any governor has received
in the history of the state. If the ed
itor of the Advocate is curious to
know further about our politics we
will say we are a republican, having
voted for every republican presiden-
tial candidate from Garfield to Nc
Kinley, that although it often happens
that candidates of our choice are not
nominated yet we always support the
partys nominees because we believe
the republican party's success is most
favorable to the country's welfare.

FROM the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont,

From the sentinel, GeDO, Month
In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1899, the editor of this pa
per was among the many seekers after
fortune who made the big race on one
fine day in April. During his travel
ing about and afterwards his camping
upon his claim, he encountered much
bad water, which, together with the
severe heat, gave him a very severe
diarrhoea which it seemed almost
impossible to check, and along in June
the case became so bad he expected to
die. One day one of his neighbors
brought him one small bottle of Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Dia-
rrhoea Remedy as last hope. A big
dose was given him as he rolled about
on the ground in great agony, and in
few moments the dose was repeated.
The good effect of the medicine was
soon noticed and within an hour the
patient was taking his first sound
sleep in fortnight. The one little
bottle worked complete cure, and he
cannot help but feel grateful. The
season for bowel disorders being at
hand suggests this item. For sale by

We are still in favor of the nomin-

talents, his opinions, his position and
his past services to his party entitle
him to the nomination. We know he
insists that he has few opinions on
subjects that interest the public, but
that is because of his modesty. He
may overcome that in time. He may
