In making excuses for the expendI- lures under the present administration republicans are very fond of advancing the argument that our national taxes for these purposes are not heavy when measured on per capita basis with the taxes of some of the European countries. But when our taxes are measured by trade figures in our own country they moant up to sum that is scarcely realized by the average voter. In the last fiscal year for the army and navy alone Uncle Sam spent little over S21S, 900, 900. That Is, for these two branches of the military serv- ice we spent last year within $26, GOO, GOO of us much as jt cost to run the gov ernment in all It's departments twenty years ago.. in 1884 Our military ex- penditures last year amounted to over SIS per family for the entire country.

We notice that Marcus A. Smith has again been nominated by the Arizona democrats for delegate to congress. In this the democrats of the far away ter ritory were wise, and the people will be still wiser if they elect him in No vember. Mir. Smith is capable man and popular man. He has the work of congress well in hand and no one can do better service for his people. It is q great mistake the voters of the states and territories make when they change .heir representatives, delegates and senators without proper cause. The man who is longest in service at the capital is the man who exerts the largest influence and can do the most effective work. Washington Post.

Nearly all visitors from the western territories bring back the news that Marcus A. Smith, of Tucson, is going to be elected to his old place of dele gate in congress from Arizona. This is agreeable tidings at Washington,
 where MT. Smith stayed so long in q representative capacity from that terri tory, that he became q more familiar figure than most congressman from full-hedged states. In fact, the names of Mark Smith and Arizona are 80 thor oIghly associated that it seems odd to think of the latter as having any other delegate. No other man probably ever served so many years in the az gregate as a territorial congressman as this popular member of the universal
 Smith family. That his constituents kept sending him back term after term was the highest compliment to his worth and ability. Washington Post.

The national irrigation act was intr

The national irrigation act was intro ducdd by a democrat in the house of representatives, and it's chief supporters in the house and senate were demo
 crats. Maxwell himself has admitted that the act could not have been passed but for the cordial and intelligent sup port of democrats. Under such condi- tions the appearance of Mir. Maxwell on the partisan stump in Arizona is noth- ing short of gross impertinence. We have no objection to Mir. Maxwell be- ing republican. That is his right. But, if Mir. Maxwell came to Arizona to make campaign speeches for the re- publicans, shorn of the artificial inn portance that his connection with the irrigation association gives him, no one would pay mush attention to him. As plain MT. Maxwell he would have a right to spout to his hearts content, and those who would not be instructed

MR. BRYAN'S FIDELITY

William J. Bryan's performance on the stump in Indiana has amply dem onstrated his sincerity in the present campaign, if there was really any need of such demonstration. It would be idle to go over the differences there have been between Mir. Bryan and some of those whose views prevailed at the St Louis convention. Everybody who would read rehearsal of the old con tentions is perfectly familiar with them already. They are a thing of the past. Mir. Bryan frankly and honestly de- clares that silver is not now an issue, and he is and always has been in en- thusiastic agreement with Judge Par ker on the most vital and essential issues of 1904. His heart requires no wrenching to be in the democratic work this year, and he is ardently sup porting the ticket and his efforts promise to keep thousands of demo- crats in line for the November election.

Save YOUR Child,

Fearfully Prevalent,
Comes from Weak Nerves and A.
tacks Nervous Children.
Do Not Neglect Your Ch|IdTen's Weak
and Initiated Nerves.

There appears to be almost an cpl
semic OF st. Vitus' dance among chill
dren. The disease comes directly
from weak nerves and an irritatec
esndition OF the nerve centres.
Its approach Is shown by the nerves
becoming weak. the child is pale, ner-
vous, restless. irritable, does not sleef
we'll at night but losses rest'essly
talks In sleep. grits its teeth. and has
irregular appetite, There VIII be
twitching OF the eyellds the hand, the
arm, the leg, or portion of the body
which spasmodic movements will grad
ually increase until the child is more
o. less helpless.
II is n very serious disease and
SHOULD never be allowed TO run, as the
most serious consequences ensue IN
the utter wreck Of the nervous sys-
TEN. II must be cured at once.

nose such a man before he treats otn-

I have not heard his lecture, so nave
nothing to say against that; but wneh
a so-caIled Christian minister de-
ceiyes another brother In order to get
an engagement. I think II time that
such things were stopped And, fur-

into a place and says he has more
money than all the men in the town
and brags of his possessions IN the

Seeing your request for information
Of cures by DR.. Greene's Nervura,
wish to give my experience. My
daughter, Edna T. Hunter, had scarlet
fever six years ago last spring. She
was twelve years old the following
July. She had the care of our family
doctor and was given every attention.
After the danger point was passed l
did as the doctor directed-did
not send her back to school for
two months As time went on she be-
gan to show a nervous trouble. In
May / sent her to school again, but
from school, l took her to my doctor
and he said she had st. Vitus dance.
At that time she was in terrible
state-had to be dressed and fed like
baby When she walked she would
drag her right foot; the right side
seemed to be afflicted the most. She
could hardly talk so as to be under
stood, and her mind was affected.
thought she would be insane. My doc
tor treated her for two months but she
grew worse instead of better. About
this time my attention was called to
case of st. Vitus' dance that was cured
By DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy. l sent for bottle and
gave it as directed, stopped giving
NE doctors medicine and by the time
she had taken half bottle l saw she
was improving. I kept right on until
she had taken three bottles, then she
was seemingly cured. Every one that
saw her thought 1t the most wonder
full cure they had ever hear OF. But
the next year 1t came back again.
Two bottles cured her this time. 1t
came back twice, slightly, afterward
and now for over year she has shown
no signs of a return of 1t. Her health
IL very good.
Both my daughter and myself give
eur full permission for the publication
q this testimonial. for the good Of
others"
Watch your children, and If you de-
tect any of the above symptoms, any
weakness Of the nerves, pale and sal
low condition of the skin, loss of appe-
lite. and observe the child growing
thin, featured and puny, give 1t
Immediately the only sure cure for this
nized by physicians, DR.. Greene's Ner-
vura blood and nerve remedy. 1t will
cure the st. vitus' dance, give the
child strong nerves, good digestion
pure blood, and make 1t grow sturdy
and strong.
It Is not a patent medicine, but the
prescription of the most successful iiv-
ing specialist in curing nervous and
chronic diseases, DR.. Greene, OF "a
Temple Place, Boston, Mass. He has
the largest practice in the world, and
his grand medical discovery is the re-
suit of his vast experience. The great
reputation of Dr. Greene is guar
antee that his medicine will cure, and
the fact that he can be consulted by
anyone at any time, free OF charge,
personally or by letter, gives absolute
assurance of the beneficial action OF
this wonderful medicine.
