Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. 11.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt addressed one OF the
greatest audiences that ever as
sembled yesterday afternoon in VIII
kesbarre. 1t is estimated that 15o,O00
persons were present. The address
was made under the auspices of the
United Mine Workers and the Catholic
Total Absistenence society.
The president spoke as follows:
| am particularly glad to speak to
this audience of miners and their
wives and children, and especially TO
speak under the auspices OF this great
temperance society In our country
the happiness of all the rest OF our
people depends most of all upon the
welfare of the wagesworker and the
welfare of the farmer. If we can Sc
cure the welfare of these two classes
we can be reasonably certain that the
community as a whole will prosper.
And we must never forget that the
chief factor in securing the welfare
alike of wage-worker and of farmer.
as of everybody else, must be the
man himself.
The only effective way to help any
body is to help him help himself.
There are exceptional times when any
one of us needs outside help, and
then ii should be given freely; but
normally each one of us must depend
upon his own exertions for his own
success. Something can be done by
wise legislation and by wise and hon
est administration Of the laws; that Is
something can be done by our action
taken in our collective capacity
through the state and the nation.
Something more can be done by

DEMOCRATS WIN CLERK AND
SHERIFF IN GUADALUPE COUNTY

Associate Justice Mann of Alamo
gortfo. of the Sixth judicial district,
seems to have been busy since his
return from his old home in Nebraska,
where he spent his summer vacation.
He has for some time had under

The Editor And The
Doctor Compared

a Missouri editor has made a
comparison Of the two profess
sions thatis warm enough for,
winter. The Missouri man says:
The doctor from Bonanza said
that newspapers are run for
revenue only What in thunder
do doctors run for anyway? Do
they run for glory? One good
healthy doctors bill would run
this Office for six months. An
editor works half a day for So
with an investment of $4,000. "A
doctor looks wise and works ten
minutes for So with an invest
ment Of 3 cents for catnip and a
pill box that cost $1.37.s A doctor
goes to college two 81 three
years, gets "a diploma and a
string Of words the devil himself
cannot pronounce, cultivates a
look of gravity that he pawns off
for wisdom, gets a box Of pills, a
cayuse and a meatsaw and sticks
out his single, a full fedged
doctor. He will then doctor you
till you die at a stipulated price
per visit, and puts them in as
thick as your pocket book will
permit. An editor never gets
his education finished; he learns
as long as he lves-studies all
his life. He eats bran mush and
liver, he takes his pay in hay and
turnips, and keeps the doctor in
town by refraining from printing
the truth about him. We would
like to live in Bonanza and run a
newspaper for six months and
seei if the doctor would change
his mind about running a news
paper for revenue only; if we did
not get some glory out of it we
would agree to take one dose Of
pills, after saying our prayers.
If the editor makes 4, mistake he
has to apologize for it, but if it is
the doctor, he buries it. If we
make one there is a lawsuit, tall
swearing and a smell Of sulphur,
but the doctor makes one there
is a funeral, cut flowers and a
smell of Yarnish. The doctor
can use a word a %footlong but if
the editor uses it he has to spell
it. Any medical college can
make a doctor. You can't make
an editor. He has to be born one
When the doctor gets drunk it is
a case of overcome by the heat,
and if he dies it is heart failure.
When the editor gets drunk it is
too much booze, and if he dies it
is a case of delirium tremens.

to ward off govt. The editor
helps men to live better, and the
doctor assists men to die easy.
The doctor pulls a sick man leg,
the editor is glad Lift he can collect
his bill at all. Revenue only? We:

doctors.

Cuban Diarrhoea

u. S. soldiers who served in Gu
ba during the Spanish war, know
what this disease is, and that or
binary remedies have little more
effect than so much water. Gu
ban diarrhoea is almost as severe
and dangerous as a mild attack
of cholera. There is one remedy,
however, that can always be de-
pended upon as will be seen by the
following certificate from Mrs,
Minnie Jacobs, of Houston, Texas
81 hereby certify that Chamber
lain s Collie Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy, cured my husband Of a
severe attack of Cuban diarrhoea,
which he brought home from Gu
ba. We had several doctors but
they did him no good. One bot
tie of this remedy cured him, as
our neighbors will testify. I thank
God for so valuable a medicine. -
