His Last Hope Realized.
From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont. /


In the first opening of 0klaho-
ma to settlers IN 1889, the editor
of this paper was among the many
seekers after fortune who made
the big race one fine day in April.
During his travelling about and
afterwards his camping upon his
claim, he encountered much bad
water, which, together with the
severe heat, gave him n severe
diarrhoea which it seemed almost
impossible to check, and along in
June the case became so bad he
expected to die. One day one of
his neighbors brought him one
small bottle of Chamberlain
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy as a last hope. A big
dose was given him while he was
rolling about on the ground in
great agony, and in few minutes
the dose was repeated. The good
effect of the medicine was soon
noticed and within an hour the
patient was taking his first sound
sleep for fortnight. That one
little bottle worked a complete
cure and he cannot help but fee
grateful. The season for boweI
disorders being at hand suggests
this item. For sale by the Cen
tral Drug Store.

A UNIQUE RECORD
Not Another Like II In Our Broad
Republic.


To give positive home testimony
in every locality is of itself un.
answerable proof of merit: but
when we add to this the continued
endorsement of people who testl-
fled years ago no evidence can be
stronger. A Texas citizen CRATE.
fully acknowledges the good re-.
ceived from DOan's Kidney Pills
and when time has tested the cure
we find the same hearty endorse
ment, with added enthusiasm and
continued praise. Cases of this
kind are plentiful in the work Of
Doan's Kidney Pills in Texas,
and such record is unique in the
annals Of medicine.
W. f. Davis, carpenter and
builder, living at 40 Soledad ST.,
san Antonio, who endorsed Doan's
Kidney Pills by making IA state
ment for publication in May,
1902, reiterates his statement IN
even stronger terms, as follows !:
He says: "In the month of May,
1902, | made a statement for
publication concerning the bene-
fits had derived from the use of
Doaa's Kidney Pills. Since that
time, | have felt slight touches Of
my old trouble but | found that a
few of Doan's Kidney Pills taken
in time never failed TO ward off
the attack. | have recommended
them to many different friends
and acquaintance and will con-
tinue to do so for they did a great
deal for me. Before taking the
pills | could not stoop or straight
en-. If ] attempted to pick up
anything from the floor, / had to
bend my knees instead of my
back If l took cold it settled in
my kidneys and the action of
those organs was badly disordered.

to prove that the benefits derived
from the treatment have been
permanent"

Quite number Of West Texas
newspaper men have responded
with favorable opinions to the
Press suggestion for West
Texas Press Association. They
say that as they do not attend
the state association meetings
and many of them that they do
not care to do 80 for the reason
that ideas brought out in their
discussions do not apply to con-
ditions in West Texas journalism,
Therefore these gentlemen believe
it would be a good plan for West
Texas editors to organize. At
their meetings most profitable
exchange of ideas could be had
and we would all know each other
better. If other papers care TO
discuss the subject the Press
would be glad TO hear from them.

Take away from man the belief

what can he build? When you
ask me the cause of the lo:g life
of the democratic party, why has
1t held together in victory and in
defeat, why For century has it
eXerted an influence OH the desti-
ny of this nation, why, in sun
shine and in storm, have the peo-
pie who call themselves democrats
met from time to time, nominated
their tickets, adopted their plat
forms and gone out to- make their
fight? Why is that, when we
have gone down to defeat on cleo
tion day, they have arisen next
morning with faces radiant with
out hope and commenced the
fight again? Why is it? 1t is
because there is in true democracy
II religion founded upon the doc
trlne Of human brotherhood and
the recognition of human rights,
and the democrats have been
strong because they have hac
faith in the triumph of righteous
ness. -(Bryan's speech at Dallas,

Calling for Talk.

The New York World was one
Of the first Of the great dailies to
ospouse the cause Of Judge Alton
b. Parker as prospective candi-
date for the democratic bresiden-
tial nomination. The Word with
many other prominent journals Of
the nation have spoken in no un-
certain terms concerning Parker
and his candidacy. 1t has made
excuses for the sphinx attitude of
the Esopus man. 1T has said he
needed to make no statement as
to his opinions on public ques-
tions. In fact the World has
been strictly "for Parker"
IN its issue of Friday, the
World, reviewing the speech of
Justice David j. Brewer of the Z.
S. Supreme Court, says:
Suppose Judge Parker had ut
tered those words. Is there II
democrat in the country who
would not have seen in them a
great light on Judge Parker's
political convictions, his political
alliances and political purposes?
Would one of them have remained
in doubt for another instant as TO
Judge Parker's opinion of govern
ment by Wall street? As to his
opinion of BelmOntism, Wood
wardism and McCarrenism in poll
itics? As to his theories Of the
relation of organized capital to
legislation and administration?
AS TO his attitude toward all that
mercenary host that concern
themselves with politics for the
of their own pecu-
mary interests-who are republic
cans in republican states, demo-
Gratis in democratic states, and
for their own pocket all the time?
We think not. Yet Judge Par
ker, without degrading his Judi
cial office, might have said what
Justice Brewer said. David J.
Brewer is not less Of a Judge than
Alton b. Parker. He is not less
under obligation to be politically
blind, politically deaf and politi-
cally dumb. With this example
of Justice Brewer before the peo-
pie. does not this dead silence
from Esopus give plausibilitv to
Mr.. Bryan's claim that Judge
Parker ia keeping still not as a
Judge but as u candidate for pres
ident.
His personal friends know his
sentiments. They understand his
attitude towards public questions.
They respect his great ability.
But have not the rank and file of
the party some rights in the case?
Are they not entitled to get their
information of the candidate at
first hand? Would it not be inf
nitely better for Judge Parker to
break this self-imposed silence
and give the democrats Of the
country the word they are wait
ing for, the sign they have asked?
Judge Parker has but TO make d
single statement of principle, u
statement rs abstract and imper-
sonal as Justice Brewers, and the
nomination that is now probable
will become certain. The follow
ers are ready if the leader will
lead.
This sounds like good logic.
The Press is in favor of Parker's
nomination, having faith in his
doctrine, guided by that little
which by word and action he has
heretofore conveyed to the public
mind. But there are many doubt
ers. If Judge Parker should
speak out. no possible harm could
be done, and much good might
result.
