AS TO THE ECO MANIA
Gov. OdelI Comments on a Re-
cent Speech by Ex-Gov.
Hill.
TALKS ALSO TO SOME PIONEERS
And Like Hill Makes some Refiec-
tions, but Does Not Name
Any Persoa.

Geneseo, N. T.. Aug. Governor
Odell addressed the Pioneers associa-
ton of Livingston county at it's pic
mic here. The governor, during his
speech turned his attention to that
part of Ex-Governor Hil,s address last
week at Olcott Beach, N. Y, in which
Hill referred to 'spectaculaTisyn'' and
"ego-mania. In this connection Gov
ernor Odell said: 'Those who seek
only personal ambition and political
advance are too often led to public ut
terances which breed discomfort, in the
hope that through the misery of the
people they may secure the consumma.
ton of their own selfish desires.
Now Who Is He ..AIIuding ATT"
"Such men, while protesting patriot
ism and respect for our laws, are rath,
er encouraging those un-American doc
trines which are the outgrowth of
despotic European governments. That
man, therefore, whose unrequited polit-
ical ambition causes him to look on
every man as his foe, whose charac-
ter is SO black that he is led through
the circulation of malicious falsehoods
and ISLANDERS to pull down others to his
own level, is possessed of a disease
more dangerous to society than homi-
cidal insanity, more to be pitied than
to be censured.
Thinks Platitudes Have Their Uses.
"Platitudes they may be that serve
to Impress on the young man his duty
to the state, or which serve to re-
call the fact that civic honesty is the
foundation Of successful government;
but if their utterance leads him to am
avoidance Of those mistakes which
have made a derelict Of many IA
nous political bark, then he who has
the courage for their utterance should
not be sneeringly referred to as an
'ego-maniac' but rather as one who is
faithfully performing a public service
in the interest and furtherance Of a
government of the people.
Regulations Likely TO Endure
1T oftimes requires greater courage
to face adverse public criticisms than
the bullets of battle, because the hero
ism OF public life is more slowly recog-
nized than that which wins the bat
ties of a nation. That repu-
tation will survive longest which has
been acquired upon the broad lines Of
humanity, and In acts which have for
their ultimate aim and object the pub
lie good and the welfare Of the people I"

The man on the stage who does the
trick of escaping from firmly tied ropes,
submits to the bonds with a smile. He
knows he can get out of the ropes that
are being knotted. Put the same man in

him to tree for torture and he would
struggle to the last against the bonds.
When the stomach is diseased there
are bonds being woven every hour about

This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for Group
is in demand in every neighborhood. One
Of the most terrible things in the world
is to be awakened in the middle OF the
night by a whoop from one of the chill
dren. The Group remedies are almost as
sure to be lost, in case of Group, as a re-
yolver is sure to be lost in case of bur
glars. There used to be an old-fashioned
remedy for Group, known, as hive syrup
and toln, but some modern mothers say
that chamberlain's Cough Remedy is bet
ter, and does not cost so much. 1t causes
the patient to "throw up the phlegm''
quicker, and gives relief in a shorter
time. Give this remedy as soon rs the
croupy cough appears and it will pre-,
vent the attack. 1t never fails, and is
pleasant and safe to take. For sale by
