Mr.. FAIRBANKS LETTER.
A Clear aud Effective statement OF
Republican priuciplea.

Senator Fairbanks's letter OF accept
ance Is a document which appeals direct
~ to the business men and workers gen
orally. IL states clearly some OF the most
important, but perhaps not sufficiently
understood, tenets OF the Republican
party In its conflict with Democracy.
In calling attention to the service done
70 the entire country by the establish
mcnt OF the Bureau OF Commerce and
Labor, with n special department to deal
with corporations, the Senator points out
the first real attempt by the government
to deal with the trust problem. lie clear
ly sees that the regulation OF the great
combinations OF capital by law Is pos
sible. Is necessary, and he shows the
consistent course OF the Republican party
IN this regard.
As TO our foreign policy Senator Fair
banks rightly considers that we have
much to be proud OF In the firm, conser-
vatiye and thoroughly broad and Chris
| tian policy which has been adhered to
during the years OF Republican adminis-
tratlon. The tremendous expansion Ia
our trade. our foreign interests and In
nuence has been accomplished by peace
full methods, and no remote sign OF war
has appeared upon our horizon In the
years following the establishment Of new
| National relations or our acquisition OF
a vast territory In the far East.
In his enunciation OF the Republican
idea OF the desirability % closer trade
relations with our great neighbor. Cam
ada, the candidate for the Vice Presi-
dency is peculiarly happy. He Is plainly
for a liberal movement for reciprocity
between this country and the people just
over the line TO the north. He also
emphasizes the value OF the open door,
secured for US In China. and promises .
continuance OF the benefits OF that re-
suit OF our recent foreign policy.
As a whole. the letter OF the Vice Pres.
idential candidate is a strong paper one
which commands respect and confidence.
Senator Fairbanks is meeting the Ameri.
can people face TO face. from one end
OF the country to the other. In his very
lively campaign. IL II well. however, "a
have In hand his written opinions and
aspirations ms n public man on the great
questions at issue az this moment.

When You Have |. Cold.

The first action when you have a cold should be to relieve the lungs. This is best accomplished bw the free use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This Remedy lique6es the tough mucus and causes its expulsion from the air cells of the lungs, pro- duces free expectoration, and opens the secretions. A complete cure soon follows. This remedy will cure a severe cold in less time than any other treatment and it leaves the sys- tenn in a natural and healthy con- dition. It counteracts any tendency toward pneumonia.
