LIFE PLANT
Is Recognized as Standard Remedy for
RHEUMATISM
And All Blood Diseases in 26OOOO Homes in America Today

Rheumatism is very stubborn
blood disease. The uric acid poison
settles in the muscles and joints and
cannot be removed except by purify
ing the blood. Life Plant drives out
the uric acid and prevents its excess
i've formation. After using Life Plant
for rheumatism there is no return of
the disease with every change of the
weather, as there must be when tenn
porary relief is obtained by use of
liniments or other external remedies.
At the same time Life Plant builds
up every organ and puts 1t In proper
working order. We have cured 81
out Of every 100 cases of rheumatism
we have treated. Last year we re-.
ceived 10000 testimonials from rheu-
matte sufferers cured by Life Plant
the greatest record of any medicine.
Miss A. X. Duck, of Leetonia, O., con-
tracted a severe case of rheumatism
on Oct. 1, 1902. Knees so badly swollen
she had TO crawl up and down stairs
-Four bottles of Life Plant cured her.

Can There Be a Natural Monopo y

The action of Postmaster General
H. G. Payne, in issuing orders which
bar the use of the so called indepen-
dent telephones in the postoflces Of
the country, even when such phones
are offered free of rental, is causing
much speculation as to the grounds
for such action, and as to whether or
not he can justify his position. IL
simply brings up the question Of
natural monopoly" with its two
sides of possible discussion, in new
light, when an official of high stand
ing issues a sweeping order in favor
of single service.
It has long been contended, that
in certain branches of service, for the
greatest good to the public-the
greatest economy, which to the Amer
ican business man is synonym for
the greatest good-there must exist a
few natural monopolies." While to
the ordinary reader, who has not CIV
en- this matter any thought, this term
natural monopoly" is vague and
meaningless, yet the theory has be-
hind it strong arguments, and some
facts in its favor, opposed by equal
ly as strong facts and figures in favor
OF full and free competition in every
line of enterprise and industry.
Be the facts of economy in this par
ticular case what they may, as re-
CARDS the service permitted In the
postofices of the United States, the
public will watch with self interest
the effect this action will have upon
railroads, express offices and other
central points which enter into the
makeup of the usefulness of tele-
phone service.
1t is the fellow at the other end of
the line which makes your telephone
valuable, and 1t oftimes is not so
much how many, as who they are,
which brings the greatest value. 1t
is then, not the order to the post
Offices which will be considered with
so much interest, as it is what ef-
feet this order will have upon the
main net work in the formation of
telephone usefulness, IN the result as
to what class and kind Of concerns
may possibly follow the lead of the
postoffice department.
The question for or against ma
tural monopoly" is too weighty for
us to place upon 1t an opinion, in
connection with the action of the
postoff1ce authorities, but it Is vital
question for public consideration, in
view of the fact that so decided action
has been taken by so prominent a
governmental department

There is movement on hands to
abolish spring elections in Ohio. This
is to be done in order to save the ex-
penses of holding them and avoid the
political excitement incident to NUM-
cipal skirmishes. II is proposed to
bunch the whole thing and have a
grand spasm in November and then
rest till the next fall. This will kill
of lot of professional politicians
who make their living by hanging
around candidates and drawing pay
from campaign committees. There
was a time when Ohio had not only
the spring and November elections,
but all her state elections in October
The result was that she had more
politicians to the square inch than any
other state in the union. The situa-
tion demanded them. Nearly every
citizen had a bee in his bonnet and
tried to pose as the party's savior The
fewer elections the fewer politicians
II they cannot live by politics, they
hunt other jobs and get too busy to
ply their old trade The country can
exist without them, perhaps.

The wife of Representative F. A.
HOLES, of Alliance. died Saturday
morning after months of extreme suf-
fering from heart trouble During her
illness all that was possible was done
for her relief. even after it was known
that recovery was impossible. Mrs.
HOLES was a home-loving woman,
which is the highest type Of American
womanhood. She did. not aspire to
shine in any other sphere. She was
a Christian who is said to have lived
more than she professsd--one from
whom professions we're hardly neces-
sary. In this hour Of trouble, when
his heart is bereft, Brother HOLES has
the sympathy of the editorial fratern-
ity and Of the people Of the county
whose servant he is.

The movement on foot to pension
every living soldier who served not
less than 80 days in the rebellion and
who has attained the age of 81 years
is one that will meet with favor among
all who honor and revere the boys In
blue. The age limit might just as well
have been eliminated entirely from the
bill. Many of the best soldiers who
were in the army have been humili-
ated in their efforts to secure pensions.
They were men who were on duty in
stead Of getting into the hospital on
every available pretext. They have
no hospital record When they made
application the pension department, in
stead Of being an aid to them in the Sc
curing Of pittance was a hindrance.
Impossible things were demanded. The
applicants were looked upon as ras-
Gals, trying to cheat the country.
Under the proposed bill Of Senator
bolivar all that will be necessary will
be to prove an honorable discharge
This question Of honorable discharge
recalls another thing that has been
done ever since the war. Many de-
serters have had their disabilities re-
moved by special act Of the legislature
SO that they could get pensions, while
soldiers who never -shirked the foe,
who had clean records, begged in vain
Tor pension from the department. or
recent years these evils were not so
pronounced, but they still are prac-
ticed to some extent.

Why the changes7

seem to a plain citizen to be little or
no reason for having them," observed
a well known Youngstown man.
Twenty years ago was a newspaper
correspondent in Columbus, and the
number of members of both the house
and senate was about the same as now.
The other day when looked over the
list Of places recorded as additional
help ! found that in the senate there
are provided places for rs more men
than 20 years ago, and In the house
are employed 27 more porters, 6 clerks,
10 stenographers and IL pages. And
this, too. when the number of MEM
bers in neither house has increased
as the law provides 1t shall not in
crease. II seems odd, too, In view of
the fact that not long since, and with
fewer employees than are now placed.

It is said that George W. Cortelyou
has stepped into the breach to make
peace among the belligerent factions in
the Republican party, and his minis
trations have been especially directed
toward Mark Hanna, who has been
threatening to run for the presidency
himself. Cortelyou come as an ennis
sary from Roosevelt and had a long
conference with Mark. After this talk
Hanna came out in a bitter interview
in which he says most emphatically
that he is not candidate and that the
repeated stories are an insult to him.
Prior to this he has been making
daily denials In half-hearted way,
that sounded little like a womanis no

has been promised the junior senator
from Ohio has not been made known.
