Condition Surrounding the
American Legation.

Much impressed With swisxsr-
lands Democratic Form Of
Government.

New York. Jan. II .--In an artice up
on his tour Of Europe, published In the
American today. william ]. Bryan dis
cusses his Impressions Of Switzerland
and comments upon the lack OF ac-
comodations for the United States EN-
bassies and legations In all the capi.
tails he visited. II Ii stated that he
intends to appear before the committee
OF congress and plead in favor OF leg
islation looking to the purchase Of suit
able property for such posts abroad.
THE trials Of our diplomatic repre-
sentatiyes in Europe. together with
the high rents they are compelled to
pay for their residences, have convinc-
ed me-" said Mr.. Bryan. that we, AZ
a people. are at fault In not providing
permanent and appropriate domicles,
for our ambassadors and ministers at
foreign capitals. II ls scarcely demo-
cratic to place upon an Official an ex-
pense SO great as TO preclude the APP
pointment OF man Of moderate means
Our representatives IN Europe are con-
spicuous In the diplomatic circle at
court functions because OF their modest
attire, but 1t is not aecessar. that our
ambassadors and ministers homes
should be on wheels In order TO be
democratic. / believe that our gov
ernment ought to inaugurate a new
policy In this matter and build in the
chief capitals Of foreign nations build
ings suitable In every way for the res
licences and Offices Of our diplomatic
representatives.
In the course OF his observations up
on Switzerland. Mr.. Bryan said:
Il found that the people are SO pleas
ed over the popular control over gov
ernment given them by the initiative
and referendum. that there is no pos
sIbility that any party will attempt
to attack 1t. Their arguments are;
First. that the legislators. knowing
that the people can initiate legislation
feel less responsible; and, second. that
as the legislators actions can be re-
viewed by the people, the legislators
are more timid about introducing
needed reforms. The friends of the
iniatiye and referendum meet these
arguments by declaring that the legis-
lators are really not relieved from re-
sponsibility. but are melted to action
by the fact that the people can act In
the event that their interests are neg
lected by the legislature and that the
timidlty suggested is only likely TO pre-
vent legislation when the legislature
themselves doubt the merit Of the pro-
posed action.
Or. Adolph Deucher. president Of
the Swiss confederation. speaks with
frankness and conviction and is as
simple in his manner as the humblest
of his people.
AS a nation. Switzerland, with her
5.00O,o0O population, does not attract
the attention that neighboring nations
do and in a contest at arms. excepting
upon her own soil, she could not hope
to achieve much. but in that high for
um. where conscious dictates and
where reason rules. she is a conspic-
uous member of the sisterhood OF ma

Do Not Suppress a Cough.

When you have cough do not try
to suppress it, but remove the cause.
The cough is only a symptom of some
disease, and the disease is what you
should cure, then the cough will stop
Of itself The most common cause of
coughing is a cold Anodynes will
promptly suppress the cough, and
preparations containing chloroform.
opium, etc, are used for that purpose,
but they do not cure the cold. Cham
berlains Cough Remedy on the other
hand does not suppress the cough, but
relieves it by removing from the throat
and lungs the mucus which obstructed
