y supposedly orthodox republican
paper, the Washington, Ia, Gazette,
seems to be leaning to apostacy. 1t
says: John Rockefeller must be get
ting ready to make another donation
of a million or two to Chicago uni
versity. Since the first of March we
have been compelled to pay cents a
gallon more for every gallon of gaso-
line we use, and there has been moth
ing whatever to justify the advance in
price, except the fact that the Stan
dard Oil company has a practical mo-
nopoly of the business, and is able to
make us pay an unjust price. Under
the circumstances we feel that it is
our money and the peoples money
that Rockefeller is donating and not
his own. The fact that he has a le-
gal claim to it doesn't affect the
equity of the matter

RooseVeIEs Swing Around the Big
Circle.

No well informed politician can
doubt that President Roosevelt's
Swing around the circle is made
with an eye to securing the nominal
ton of his party for president in 1904.
Mr.. Roosevelt evidently is not certain
that he will have no opposition for
the nomination and his purpose is to
stir up enthusiasm for himself, and
furnish proof to the ambitious states
men of his party that he is the idol
of the people of the west and far
west. Harper's Weekly, a paper APP
parently friendly to Mr.. Roosevelt,
sees signs of opposition to his renomi-
nation that may become formidable.
1t says:
There have been lately some signs
of a concerted movement to put for
ward opposing candidates for the re-
publican nomination for the presiden-
cy in 1904. The open or secret oppo-
nents of formidable candidate us
ually employ the following tactics:
On the one hand they take measures
to secure the delegations from the
southern states which are hopelesssly
democratic, and, on the other hand,
they try to persuade each of the large
republican states to pledge its delega-
ton to a so-called favorite son. Sen
ator Fairbanks, who could probably
obtain the delegation from his own
state, Indiana, is said to be negoti-
ating for newspaper support in the
south in an effort to procure dele
gates from that section. Ex-Speaker
Keifer, who knows a good deal about
Ohio politics, has recently expressed
the opinion that Mr.. Roosevelt is los
ing ground. That Senator Hanna will
control the Ohio delegation seems to
be generally taken for granted, al
though he pooh-poohs the notion
that he will be candidate for the
presidency. Whether Senator Allison
will control Iowa's delegation is un-
certain, owing to the great strength
possessed by Gov. Cummins in that
state. In the Michigan delegation
Senator Alger is likely to have good
deal of influence. Just now it looks
as if Roosevelt's opponents would
eventually concentrate on Senator
Spooner of Wisconsin"

Ruling on Lying.

Justice Callahan, of the South Chi
cago police station, handed down a
decision the other day in the case of a
woman against a man who had lied
to her in regard to board bill. She
said the man told her he would pay
the bill the next day and that he had
not done it. Justice Callahan said that
he could not hold the man for having
lied, and when the woman announced
that she would appeal the case, Gala
han told her that lying in this state is
not a crime.
An unfulfilled promise is not neces-
sarily crime, and the rulings OF
Judge Callahan are doubtless correct
in the case before him. But beyond
doubt, lying in scores and hundreds of
of cases in this and in every other
state is a crime and punishable as
such. A man may tell bear or fish
story of the usual variation from the
truth and it is no crime; but a man
who uses lie to deceive and swindle
is guilty of crime, and crime in
many cases of very serious charac-
ter.
But man must lie under oath in
Illinois before it can be held as a
crime.

What is News?

Some time ago a discussion was
started by some paper as to the ques-
ton What is news?" and it has been
going the rounds. The Burlington
Hawkeye is the latest to tackle the
question and it concludes, and rightly,
tooMthat it is one to which wholly
satisfactory answer can never be Civ
en-. The Hawkeye declares:
1T has been well stated that paper
can be judged best by the news which
it does not print. There are many
things which can be served to the
great reading public by graceful wri-
tiers which after all leaves a bad SEN
.ation in the heart and a bad taste in
the mouth, which, however they be
dressesl or sugar-coated, remain vici-
Gus and poisonous, and whose evil
effects are not lessened or neutralized
by the disguise. And all these al
most all self-respecting papers are
careful to omit from their columns,
no matter how tempting they may be

Due Notice is Served.

Due notice is hereby served on the
public generally that DeWitt's Witch
Hazel Salve is the only salve on the
market that is made from the pure,
unadulterated witch hazel. DeWitt's
Witch Hazel Salye has cured thous-
ands of cases of piles that would not
yield to any other treatment, and this
fact has brought out many worthless
counterfeits. Those persons who get
the genuine DeWitt's Witch Hazel
Salye are never disappointed, because
it cures.

The Eldorado, Kans., Republican,
discussing the question of help for the
heather, remarks: "a woman who
has been working in the heather bust
ness for good many years says it
takes $16.75 to get 81 to the heather.
All on account of people who take
toll for handling the contributions.
She further remarkes that if one will
put 81 in a bottle, cork it tight and
throw it into the river it will stand
just as good chance of arriving in
heather lands as it would by giving
to some collector of heather money!
