A Serious Joke.

1t may be joke to term the Demo
cratic campaign a joke as does Tom
Watson, and yet this seems one of the
true things spoken in jest. Even
jokes are serious matters when they
involve the liberties, the prosperity,
the progress and destinies of so, 900, 900
people. The thinking voter must not
take the Democratic campaign as a
joke. He must not feel SO confident
Of the election of Roosevelt as to fail
to cast his own vote on November s.
Not only should Roosevelt be elected
by an overwhelming majority, and
with him a Republican House of
Representatives, but the Democratic
party should be so emphatically
rebuked that it will never again
attempt to foiSt upon the people OF
this country candidate and cam
paign that is SO meaningless and
destitute of convictions and policies
as to be considered joke even by
leading Democrats.

few years ago he was granted the
title of L. l.. d. by the University of
Nashville. He is member of several
kindred fraternal societies, and is uni
versally known and esteemed as a
friend to the movement generally.
1t is largely because of this broad
fraternal spirit and helpfulness, which
he has always exercised toward sister
fraternal societies. that he owes his
election as the president of the move
ment in America and Canada.
The presidency of the National
Fraternal Congress is the highest
honor that can be conferred upon an
American fraternalist, and his friends,
which are numbered by the hundreds
of thousands in the various orders Of
America and Canada, will rejoice in
receiving the news of his election TO
this high Office.

able to them that the southern people
do not realize the immense damage
such affairs do to the Democratic
cause. Here are the Democratic
managers seeking to impress the
country that the Democratic party
is a great law and order, great
constitutional party, and pointing
to the southern states to illustrate
their contention that the masses of
democracy in that section of the
country. which is their stronghold,
are conservative: and yet almost
every day they have to face some such

WHY IT IS THERE

In it's issue OF the 18th the Appleton
Post finally declares itself concerning
the republican factional fight in the
state. In leading editorial it re-
views the case, and the criticisms
made concerning La Follette's state
ment that he would remain in the
tight no matter what the supreme
court might say, and then concludes
with the statement that it will stand
for the La Toilette state ticket.
Few men, even though good politicians,
realize the peculiarly unpleasant po-
stiOn the stalwart republican papers
of the state are placed in at the pre-
sent time and fail, or pretend to fail,
to understand that those which are
now for the straight republican ticket
are now doing so for the good of the
grand old party and are, therefore,
not turncoats, In it's explanation
the Post voices the feeling of all those
in similar position in the state
when it says.
"In view of all circumstances, there
fore, the Post bows with as good
grace as possible to both the letter
and the spirit of the decision of the
supreme court, as it declared be-
| forehand that it would. This does
not mean, however, that it is going
to rend its garments and tear it's
hair in the intensity of it's support of
Mr.. La Toilette nor that it is going
to aSsall the republican ticket that
stands opposed to his. It thinks toe
much of the respect of its fellow
citizens Of all shades Of political
opinion and of it's own self-respect to
play that role of hypocrisy'-Green

FINANCE OF JAPAN

Before the war the debt was only
So 5 per capita, less than half our
own, while RusSia's is S24, Germany S
800, Great Britian's 92, and France
$3.50 per capita. Moreover, the
Japanese debt could be paid with the
total revenue of two years, while the
Russian or British debt would take
the revenue of five years and the
French that of eight. Even after
the war, by Count Okuma's estimate,
Japan will be less burdened by debt
than the great powers of Europe.

PERILS OF LAND AND SEA
Captain Willnef's Remarkable Escape Shows
What to do in Time of Trouble

For many years, Captain Willnef,
says the Times or Gloucester, Mass.
was one of the best known Seamen in
the Gloucester Fleet. The sea and
it's dangers had no terror for him, but
the catarrhal troubles with which he
suffered for fifteen years made him
dread the nights at sea. for he had to
walk the cabin floor, being unable to
lie dewn and sleep on account of the
constant catarrhal dropping.
Captain Willnef went to two differ
ent hospitals for treatment. but could
get no lasting benefit. He constantly
raised yellow and green phlegm and
his trouble became so unbearable and
nauSeating that he was ashamed to go
out in company. When despairing Of
yer getting relief, his wife purchased
a Hyomei outfit for him, and trying
it before going to bed he enjoyed the
first whole nights sleep for ten years.
Captain Willnef says 81 nave used less
than two bottles of Hyomei and have
been cured by the remedy. My
friends ask me what is responsible for
my improvement, and tell them
Hyomei, which has given me full and
complete recovery"
Captain Willnef'S experience shows
our readers what to do in time of
catarrhal trouble.-use Hyomei.
This remarkable treatment kills the
germs of catarrh and makes lasting
and permanent cures. John E.

guarantee to refund the money if it
does not give quick relief

F A. FALKENBURG
President National Fraternal
C0nSress.


f. A. Falkenburg, who has Just
oeen elected president of the National
Fraternal Congress at it's session ia ST,
Louis, which body represents 4,S0o, 900
members Of various fraternal insurance
societies OF America, was born in In
diana in 1857. He is the son of the
Rev. s. B. Falkenburg, a Methodist
divine of that state. Mr.. Falkenburg
is an educated and cultivated gentle
man. AS student he graduated with
the highest honors in collegiate,
classical and business college courses.
He was admitted to the bar of the
Supreme Court in the State of In
diana in 1879, after passing an ex-
animation before board composed of
General Benjamin Harrison, General
Thomas Brown and Major Jonathan
w. Gordon. He resigned from the
practice Of law in Indianapolis to
become auditor Of the Toledo Cincin-
natl q st. Louis railroad. This
position he later resigned to become
secretary and treasurer of one Of
Chicago'S largest publishing houses.
Later he entered the fire insurance
business in charge of sub-agency &C
counts for thirteen northwestern
states. This he followed for two
years. He then moved from Chi
Cago to Lincoln, Nebraska, where he
conducted wholesale book and
stationery business. 1t was here that
he became identified in fraternal
order work. and was appointed by
Head Consul Joseph Cullen Root as
one OF bis deputies in extending the
order OF Modern Woodmen OF America.
1t was while in that service that
he moved to Denver in 1889, which
city has since been his home. Desir-
ing to see the principles of Woodcraft
extended beyond the narrow field of
eight or nine states, to which it was
by its charter then limited, he and
Joseph Cullen Root, the head consul
OF the Modern Woodmen of America,
on June 6, 1890, founded the Wood
men OF the World, and he has been
head consul of the Western or Pacific
jurisdiction Of that order ever since,
He is also sovereign adviser Of the
Eastern, or Sovereign Jurisdiction,
and is commanding general of the
uniform rank of the entire order.
The WoOdman of the World aud it's
allied ladies' organization Though but
fourteen years years OF age) have a
membership OF over 100000 members,
and have over 5000 camps in the
United States and British America.
The Western or Pacific jurisdiction,
OF which Mr.. Falkenburg is the official
head, has become the largest fraternal
insurance order in that field, with
a membership now approaching the
100000 mark. Mr.. Falkenburg has
attended all important sessions of the
order in both the Western and East
ern Jurisdiction, and it was while at
tending such gathering, and ia
compliment of the high position he
holds in the fraternal world, that a

Voters should vote for a continuance
Of good times by voting the straight
Republican ticket this fall. Its a
good ticket clear down to coroner.
Look it over. The National, LegiSla-

WOULD LIKE TO, BUT CAN'T

The Republican Tariff has made the
prosperity of the country. The
Republicans approve and support it,
but are willing to amend it on Pro-
tective lines whenever the need of
amendment is seen. The Democrats.
on the other hand, anxious as they
are to make something by repeating
it, make merit of the fact that the
Republican Senate will prevent them
doing so, and therefore it would be
safe to give them this election. That
is, they are like the muZzled bear, and
can't bite, though they would like to.
And isn't that grand proposition on
which to demand the suffrages of the
people?

Loyal to Roosevelt.

In recent interview at Madison,
Gov. La Toilette made a posi- tive
statement that he was supporting
President Roosevelt, hoping thereby
to set at rest all talk to the contrary.
"There is no truth whatever in the
report that my friends and | will cut
President Roosevelt at the polls, -
said the governor, You may quote
me as saying that my friends and in
Wisconsin are giving the president
loyal, earnest support. We have
done SO from the first, and shall do it
to the end. We Republicans Of Wis

stands generally for the same things
we stand for. He detests corrupt
