A CoNvICTIONLESs CANDIDATE

No more pat, no more terse and
no stronger statement in the same
number of words was ever uttered
than the sentence found in the Presi-
DENTS letter of acceptance which says
that "A party fit to govern must have
convictions. 1t IS now up to the
Democratic candidate to tell the coun-
try in his forthcoming letter of ac-
oeptanoe just what are the convictions
of himself and his party.
Up to the present time he has seen
fit to disregard entirely any and all
the issues that should be debated dur
ing this campaign. II is true that he
has cursorily alluded to the gold
standard as having been irrevocably
established and he has also somewhat
vaguely ted of his position on the
Philippine matter. The voters would
like to know, however, what they are
liable to discover in his first message
to Congress, should he have an OPP
portunity to submit such message to
the National Legislature and to the
American people They would like
to know il he proposes TO advocate a
revision of the present tariff law and
upon just what lines and to what eX-
tent he would change existing du;ies
in the various schedules, and If pos
sible an enumeration of specific COM
modities and articles.
They would like to know just how
he stands upon the so called race
questio whether he proposes to en-.
dorse the real sentiments of his side
partner in West Virginia, or whether
he proposes for the sake of expedienoy
TO smother such sentiments in care Of
his ability to make appointments
among the colored race. They would
like particularly to know it Mr.. Park
er would advocate the reduction of
any existing appropriations aud ex-
penditures and in what direction
these reductions would be made. 1t
would be impossi BILE to enumerate any
considerable number of items making
Mr. Parker opinion upon the amounts
which have been appropriated aud SO
far expended, but they might simply
ask him if he would reduce our army
below its present standard of 60, 600
men. They would like to ask him if
he would retrench in the matter of the
rebuilding of the navy
They would like to ask Il he would
reduce, if he could, the appropriations
made for the development of the rural
free delivery service. They would
like to ask him if he would reduce
the appropriations made for pensions
and for the maintenance OF the SOL
diers' homes and for hospitals and
marines service; for the great acad-
emies at West Point and Annapolis,
and for various other national institu-
tions of education, philanthropy and
mercy. They would like to ask him
many other questions, but even if
they could be favored with an answer
TO these few it would serve perhaps
to indicate the lines upon which he
would advocate continuance or re-
duction of the appropriations OH the
many. They might sum up the
whole request by saying to Judge
Parker as did an impatient listener at
the time a prominent spell binder
seemed unable to go on with his
speech, when he exclaimed, For
Gods sake, talk

COTTON MILLS OPEN.

Pawtucket, Sept. 19.-The United
States Cotton Company of Central
Falls, whose employees have been on a
strike for eight weeks, opened their
mills this morning when $50 out of
$50 operatives went in on a reduced
schedule. The officials say all the de-
partments are running, some of them

According to figures given by the
New York World, there were 564
murders committed in Mississippi dur
ing the sight months ending Sept /.
That is at the rate of $50 year.
Mississippi has population about
four and one half times as great as
that of Vermont If Vermont were
to keep pace with her southern sister
in the matter of murders. she would
have, annually, eighty eight lives
summarily blotted out in manner
contrary to law. Should Vermont
have 1873 murders in one year there
would be such excitement that revo-
luton would be the result. Yer
monters would never stand for it.
But there seems to be little excite
ment in Mississippi over existing con-
ditions. Murders and lynchings are
too common to excite comment. More
law-or obedience to law and less
hell is what is needed down in Missis-
sippi.

Were Set for Trial.

The January term Of the supreme

ing, all the members of the bench and

One of them is Joseph Dent appellant,

This is not the first time this case has
been before the supreme court. Dent
is one of several stock men indicted for
violation of the regulations of the
San Francisco forest reserve. 1t was
agreed that the case of Dent should be
made a trial case. He was tried AT
Prescott and convicted. He appealed
and the doctrine was put forth that
though he might have violated the
rules of the interior department gov
erning the forest reserves the depart
Inent was without the legislative
mower to enact a law the violation Of

was in part sustained by the court at
the last session, but the whole ques-
ton was not disposed.

COchise county, +. w. Land and NJ. d.
Scribner, treasurer and ex-offcio tax
collector of COchise county, against the

They affect the general health, they
require constant attention, and are a
source of anxiety and trouble all the
time, and in some cases highly Ofen-

places becoming cancerous if not
treated promptly and in the right
way. Washes, salves and ointments
are good for external use, but they
can't stop the discharge or change

this reason the sore never heals per-

FROM CALF OF THE LEG TO ANKLE
A SOLID SORE.

FhOm YALE OE' The LEG III ANhLE
A SOLID SORE.
New Castle, Pa, July 2o, 1908.
Three years ago a common boil APP
peared on the calf Of my limb. Not yield
ing to simple home remedies, consulted
a physician, who prescribed q poultice,
TAX seed, supposedly. By some fearful
mistake was given corrosive subli-
mate, and after having it on for a few
minutes I could endure the pain no
longer, so took off the application and
found that my limb from the calf to the
ankle was in an awful condition. I i'm
mediately sent for another physician,
who told me had been poisoned. MY
limb from the calf to the ankle was one
solid inhamed sore. I was advised to
begin 8. 8. g., and improved rapidly
under its use, but about this time had
an attack oftyphoid fever, and this set
tied in the original sore. This, of course,
caused back set, but having confidence
in the ability of s. 8. s., began it again
as soon as was over the fever, and to
make long story short, was completely
and permanently cured. Two years have
elapsed, and have never had a return of
the trouble. MRS. K. A. DUFFY,
