NO SUBSTITUTE

has yet been found for cod
liver oil. There are so-called
extracts, wines and cordials of
cod liver oil that are said to
contain the active principles
but not the oil itself. This is
absurd on its face. You might
as well extract the active prin-
ciples of wheat and make
bread with them. The best
form of cod liver oile that can
be digested and assimilated
most easily, is Scott's Emul-
sion.

There is to be another war in Central
America, it seems. News comes that
the republic of Salvador has furnished
General Salvador Toledo troops and
war munitions for making an attack
upon Guatemala. 1t is said that CO.
brera, the president of Guatemala
owes his elevation to office to Toledo,
but has now turned against him. This,
in Central American political ethics,
is sufficient grounds for starting rev.
olution and Toledo has promptly acted
and by the aid of Salvador will at
tempt to make himself president at the
point Of the bayonet. 1t is said that
conditions in Guatemala are worse
than in many years. If this be true
they must be bad in deed. The only
permanent solution of the Central
American question is to transport
Mount Pelee to that benighted land.

THE PRESS IN POLITICS.

The article below from The Raj
eigh Evening Times is indorsed 10y the
Messenger. We are glad to see that
the papers Of this state have begun
to open their eyes to the manner in
which they are treated by the poll
ucians and candidates and to rebel
against the oppression. All papers
which profess adherence to a polit-
fcal party should contribute their aid
to the success of that party, but their
owners should not be expected to do
more than any other class of people
They should not be required to give
more of their time and of their stock
in trade (space in their colums) than
men in other kinds Of business. 1t
IS bad enough to expect this of the
papers even when after their work
is done and the campaign is over they
are given due credit for what they
have done. But it becomes unbear-
able when instead Of giving just re-
cognition CT the Iabors of the press
in the campaign, it is turned upon
by the very men whose election it
has helped secure and is denied just
relief from burdensome laws. This
has been the experience Of the press
In this state. Still the papers have
stood Loyalty by their party, # some
of them could not always heartily en-
dorse some of its nominees. The press
OF this state has acted magnanimous-
ly in all such instances. 1t has been
given some hard knocks by legisla-
tors who claimed both before their
election and afterward. when they
again wanted the support of the press.
TO be its friend and champion. The
newspaper men may forgive such
c>nduct. but they do not forget it.
The Raleigh Times article is as
Aollows:
The newspapers OF the south are
gradually awakening to the imposi-
ton that has been practised upon
them for so many weary years by the
politicians and professional Office
seekers
The burden which they have porns
because OF 1t, here in North Carolina,
IL footed up at the end Of a campaign
at regular advertising rates, would ap-
pear almost incredible.
The politicians do not presume to
ask like 'favors" of people engaged
In any other business, but have come
to the point where they take it for
granted that newspaper must print
column after column OF purely auver-
tising matter, proper, free-and many
of them no longer ask it as a favor"
and do not even say thank you In
return.
They do not even stop there-some
of them. For they are not only un-
appreciative, but in many cases posi-
lively ungrateful.
Their ingratitude. and worse, Is not
infreQuently manifested by an abuse
of newspapers.
Especially has this disposition been
Manifested In our general assembly,
when a little crossroads politician
who has secured an election to the
legislature through the aid of his
county newspaper, arises In the house
and brays his indignation" to the
speaker and the lobbies because some
newspaper has told the truth about
him.

The governor general of the Philip
pines sent to Washington, under guise
of an official report, a cablegram ar
ticle in reply TO Judge Parker's speech
on the conduct of our government in
regard to the islands. This political
document cost the government seven
hundred dollars in cable tolls. This
!, the people have to pay. And then Gov
ernor Wright made a complete failure
in his attempt to answer the judges
charges.

The democratic leaders maintain that
the party is growing in strength daily
and that the campaign enters the sec
ond half of the last week with every
thing bright for Judge Parkers cleo
ton. The republicans say the same
thing for their side and are sure that
Mr.. Roosevelt will he the next presi-
dent. The men who have money to put
up on the election seem to be of the
opinion of the republicans. 1t may
be, though, that the men at betting
centers who are establishing the odds
are doing SO with republican commit
tee campaign funds for the purpose of
influencing the floating vote. The
democratic forecast of votes is: From
the south Isl, from other states 10S,
making 959. The republicans claim is:
Votes from states conceded them by
the democrats 204, from other states 110,
making total Of 314.
