THEY ALL HAVE TO
ENDORSE ROOSEVELT

Senator Clarke, the new Senator
from Arkansas, is more of an Amer
lean than he Is Democrat. In his
first speech in the Senate. Tuesday.

the Panama matter. and thus got

He spoke for two hours and snnounc-
ed his endorsement of every position
taken by the president in connection
with the Panama revolt and in the
negotiation of the treaty with the
new state.
He even said that N view of the
provocation given by Colombia, the
president might have been expected
TO go farther than he did in advanc
ing the cause of Panama.
He declared that there was NOR,
popular support of the course of thi
presidents policy among Democrat
than among Republicans, and sait
that the Democratic votes to ratif,
the treaty were insured.

How Would You Spend 1t.

A st. Louis paper propounded the
question: How would you spend a
million dollars for science?" to a
number of prominent men. Lieut..
Robert E. Peary answered that il
should be expended in Artic explora-
tion. Prof. S. p. Langley announced
that he would perfect his flying ma
chine and the problem of aerial nav
igation would finally be solved
Jacob Riis refused to answer, saying
he was to old to bother about so much
money, and If he had it people would

said: Il would spend it along the
line of teaching the people who live
by working in the fields with their
coats of the science that relates to
agriculture. We have in the United
States a magnificent system of edu-
cation that takes care of everybody
but the farmer, continued Secretary
Wilson.
Secretary Wilson's reply calls at
tention to what has been done by the
department with the means at COM
mand. The Secretary now has, d.
rectly and indirectly, $1,000 600 to
spend in the interests of science.

The Commerce of
II % vi
the PhillippineS

Chicago Record-Herald-
The latest figures published for the
commerce of the Philippines cover
eight months of 1900 ending Aug. 81
They show a total of s43, 600, 600 of ex-
ports, a figure considerable larger
than that of the average entire
years trade which the islands former.
" enjoyed, even in the best periods
of Spanish rule. The total for the
eight months of 1903 is also larger
than that for the twelve months OF
1900, while it is more than half again
as large as the total for the twelve
months of 1899.
The United States now sells the
Philippines about 2per cent of their
imports, and buys from them about
40 per cent of their exports. The
gain in our share of the imports has
been slow but steady. AS for the ex
ports of the islands, however, our
gain has been very rapid, our share
having been under 80 per cent of the
fiscal year 1902 and under IL per cent
in 1901 This rapid increase is ex.
planned almost entirely by the fact
that we now import hemp directly
instead of by way of England and
other countries, the reason for this
being that direct importations under
the act of March 8, 1902. are exempt
from the payment of the Philippine
Islands export duty. In 1901 we
bought directly only one-sixth of the
islands hemp, while in the fiscal wear
1903, with the total amount Of hemp
exported 80 per cent greater, we
took over half of it direct.
Only per cent of our purchases
from the Philippines in 1908 and only
10 per cent of our sales to the islands
were carried in American ships. For.
eign vessels carried all the rest, not
merely because there were more for.
eign vessels available, but because
they could do the work cheaper,

SENATOR HANNA
VERY SICK.
COnqeStive Attack Alarms Family
and DR.. Brewer Is Sum-
moned.

Washington, d, c., Feb. 3.-Sen
ator Hanna was siezed with a rush of
blood to the head about $50 o'clock
this evening and for a while his
family were seriously alarmed.
But tonight they are relieved of
their immediate anxiety and the SEN
ator is sleeping peacefully.
Mrs Hanna and. Miss Phelps. her
niece, were with the senator when
the attack came on and succeeded in
checking it with some household
remedies before it became serious.
They then sent for Surgeon Gener-
al Rexey and DR.. MscGruder. The
two physiciansm made a very thorough
examination of their patient and
found that there was no sign of any
complication setting in.
Secretary Elmer Dover, who was
present, made the following state
ment to The State Journal CORES.

heart to be in perfect condition and
his lungs, liver and kidneys to be

When the congestion, which was
simply a rush of blood to the brain
and not a congestive chill, as some
people might think, was over, Mrs
Hanna sent telegram to DIR. Brew
er in New York and he will be in
Washington tomorrow morning.

senator was in New York suffering
with the grip in December, and has
been his physician for thirty years

When You Have a Cold.

The first action when you have a
cold should be to relieve the lungs.
This is best accomplished by the
free use of Chamberlain s Cough
Remedy. This Remedy liquefes the
tough mucus and causes its expul-
sion from the air. cells of the lungs,
produces a 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 system in a natural and healthy
condition. 1t counteracts any ten
