quently been invoked to achieve great
ends. These ends have more often
been for the good of men or measures:
sometimes to play upon the passion or
prejudice or sentiment of the throng
in ga roll of periods sweeter than the
sweetest song" But rarely has it
been recorded that the voice of the
orator has gone out effectively to up
hold the supremacy of the law, while
the speaker addressed an audience
thrilled by that other power, not less
enthusiastic but more violent-the
spirit of the mob.
This was accomplished by Congress
man w. Smith of the Council Bluffs
district in the State of Iowa few days
ago, when he succeeded in stopping a
lynching mob by a speech from the
steps of the court house at that place

the Hottest The crime involved the
common one for which negroes are
lynched the country over. An assault
was committed by two negroes upon
two white women and the angry
neighbors voiced the wrath of an out
ragged community. 1t was when in
this frame of mind that the Iowa con-
gresham met the crowd he changed
those who composed it from lawbreak-
ers to law observers and saved the
laws func ions from the hand of the
usurper.
Could any orator find superior
field to that chosen by Congressman
Smith on this occasion? Surely the
noble gift is at it's best when teach

peace vengeance belongs to the law.
Surely the "silver tongue" has reached
its highest mission when appe aling
for the supremacy of the law, not
theoretically-but in practical and

upon the example of Congressman
Smith with profit, and should the flu

Kills Inside Germs.

LiquoZone is a tonic with which no
other known product can compare. It
gives 70 every nerve center an album
dance Of just the food that il needs.
1t stimulates every function of nature
as an excess Of oxygen would do.
But the great value Of LfquCZOne lies
in the fact that il kills germs in the
body without killing the tissues, too.
There is nothing else known that will do
that. Any drug that kills germs is
poison and IL cannot be taken internally.
Medicine is practically helpless in any
germ disease. as every physician knows.
LiquoZone is "A germicide so certain
that we publish on every bottle an offer
Of $1,000 for a disease germ that II cam
not kill Yet il IS not only harmless.
but helpful and essential TO the human
body. The reason is that germs are veg.
etables. and LiquozOne-likea an excess or
oxygen-is deadly 70 vegetai matter
Animals breathe oxygen and must have
il. But vegetables throw of oxygen
and absorb lcarbOnic acid gas
1t Is this fact which has enabled the
discoveries Of LiquoZone to solve the
great problem Of killing germs In the
body without killing the patient TOO
And this is the problem which no other
man has solved.

THE OMgarchy Of Venice" by George

be melancholy or otherwise but it
exists.
The book, however. is well written
and thoughtful, and free from rhetorical
haymaking. The author evidently likes
his subject and mas honestly sought the
best method Of presenting II. His style
Is lucid and his view broad. The work
has. Of course. a peculiar and quite le-

One can see that this similarity is per-
