ABOUT .REFoRMERs..

Thenot of the reforrner has never been
an attractive one. He has been the OBJ
jectreof ridicule and contempt from
time limmemorial. z He undertakes to
demonstrate that the majority are wrong.
and hence he is unpopular. The major
ity ara ,often ,easy-going and indifferent,
and do not take the time nor trouble to
investigate to ascertain whether or no,
they may be wrong in some Of their ideas.
Then. too, the majority are often patient
with wrong-doers and tolerate things
which they know ftoibe unjustsand vicious,
because they do not d.em them sufficient.

and these things grow, and extend thei,
insidious power surreptitiously.

IT MUST COME

An amendment 10 the New York Code.
400 and 40, goes far to prevent the dis
asters which in recent years have resulted
especially on the 4th of July, from the use
of dangerous toys and weapons by child
rem. 1t makes it misdemeanor to offer,
sell, loan, lease. or give any gun, revolver,
pistol. or other irearm, or any airgun,
or toy pistol, or instrument. or weapon,
in which loaded or blank cartridges or
ammunition are used, to any person under
the age ofsixteen years. 1t also makes it
a misdemeanor for any such person un-
der That age to carry, or have in poAe s.
Sion, in any pub1ic place any such article.
A proper enforcement of this statute will
save the lives. and limbs of many who
would otherwise besyictimsof these dam
g-rous weapons. In this matter New
York takes step which ought to be taken
in every state, The annual slaughter on
the Fourth Ct July has been credited with
large numder Of deaths BY loci. jaw: The
easygoing indifference of the American
public to disasters or wrongs of any kind
that resulted from anything that is called
spert; however misdirected or wanton,
has been, and still is, greatly to our dis.
credit. This statute furnishes one in

COST OF LIVING.

The Department Of Commerce and La
Dor officially announces that the cost OF
living has advanced, ''thus confirming
suspicious which the wage earners have
been entertaining for several years, says
the Washington Post. Eek.
No person at all posted on prices has
had the temerity or disregard for truth to
dispute that allegation What has been
claimed by the advocates of protection,
and the resultant advance in prices, is
that prices OF raw products, and wages,
have advanced more than living expenses
have advanced during the same period Of
time.
The farmer who receives twenty-five
per cent more for his products during a
given time than he had heretofors receiv-
ed. does mot object so much if prices Of
the commodities which he purchases adj
vances twenty per cent He prefers that
to no advance in any liue. He would
even profit by uniform advance in pric.
es. as he always calculates that he will
sell more than he buys, and hence he will
be benefited by general advance in
prices of both raw products. and finished
articles.

THE PANAMA CANAL.

I'D. Yeomans, Of Sioux City, who was
relieved from his position. OF Civil Service
Commissioner, may be ,pardoned for the
natural disappointment resu ting from his
retirement. 1t is to be hoped that his
present frame of mind may be taken into
consideration before much weight is given
to his pessimistic prophesies regarding the
Panama canal. Of course the democratic
organs, ever ready to dispaTage and OBJ
struct, are transported by this delectible
morsel TO feed their followers.
The buoyant spirit of confidence OF the
American people can stand good deal OF
such gloomy expressions without being
discouraged, but they do not generally
appreciate the disposition, so Character
issic'of democratic newspapers, to throw
a wet blanket over every step of progress
Instituted. by whatever political party.
Because one lone man just: removed
from Office, sees fit to utter some evil fore
holdings and pessimistic opinions, certain
newspapers regard the optimism aud in
telligence of the whole country besides as
Of no weight, or seem 10 SO regard it,.
The administration did not go into this
canal project without duly investigating
the conaitions and possibilities on the
isthmus, and carefully considering the
views of expert civil and constructing en-
gineers especially employed to investigate
the subject. The statements of MIR.
Yeoman are such that their lack oftplaus
Utility should t.be. evident to the most
guileless. We do not know whether MIR.

Walter Scott, the sensational miner,

The conviction Of the aged Senator
Mitchell, of Oregon, is sad commentary
npon that mans character. His shame is,
none too great, if he is. guilty as charged,

the temptation TO commit crime than
youth, and the high office held by, the de-,

Ex-mayor Carter H. Harrison, OF Chic
ago, almost paralyzed some of the pro-
perty owners of that city, recently by ap-
pea1ing before the board of equalization
and stating that he had not been taxed
enough. People who had been accustom-
ed to tax lodging all their lives, and who
had grown to thiuk that one of the evid-
ences of business sagacity, and personal
strategy, were astounded by this wanton
disbursement of real wealth. They are
hoping that the practice may not spread,
and include any appreciate number OF
citizens. Never the less Mayor Harrison
but followed the example of one of the
members of Deni on s5city council.

To shine at the piano costs a price.
No less than eight of 1.-The greatest"

spicuously understood. 1t may be re-
fected that the climb begun i'm child
hood up the steep slope of technic. be.
ing by the hand, and consuming thou
sands OF hours Of the severest toll, left
its effect upon the body by retarding
the growth of the lower limbs. The
absorption Of the mind in this engross-
ing pursuit also may hinder ones en-
joyment of a full vitality. Not infre-
edge which is really Of the greatest inn
portance to him remains through life
the most rudimentary and undervalued.
Children especially, who are entrusted
to the hands of accredited safe guiders
of talent, often suffer certain of their
faculties to be nipped in the bud even
before they can gain attention. We
see that delicate affafr-the life-not
properly taken into account. Obviously,
no child's mind dominated for hours
by the sound Of the piano can develop
a healthy inquisitiveness The young
virtuoso does not see things as other
children. He Is trained away from
them, and little foresees the things lost
to him-by making 1t his browning aim
to excel in finger technic. For him
mans estate is a kind Of foreign terri
tory. He is reprimanded for wanting
to do things like other people. He
feels that even strangers are interested
In the restriction of his intelligence
and quite unconsciously attempt to set
up an authority over him.

certainly do. He was entertained by
the British ambassador, by the Presf-

whirl in an automobile about the city,
peeked into the Capitol, visited the
Congressional Library, and did enough
in two days to have kept the ordinary

What Liquozone Is.

The virtues Of Liquozone are derived

IA days time. 1t Is directed by chem
lists of the highest class. The object is
to SO fix and combine the gases as to
carry into the system a powerful tonic
germicide.
Contact with Liquozone kills any
form Of disease germ, because germs
are Of vegetable origin. Yet to the
body Liquozone is not only harmless,
but helpful in the extreme. That Is it's
main distinction. Common germicides
are poison when taken internally. That
Is why medicine has been SO helpless
in a germ disease. Liquozone is exhil-
arating, vitalizing, purifying; yet no
disease germ can exist in It.

again to try Liquozone; to try it at our
expense. You'll regret this delay when
you learn what the product means to
you.
Do as millions have done-stop
doubling; give Liquozone a test. Then
judge 1t by results. Germ diseases
and there are scores of them-call for
a germicide. Those are the diseases to
which Liquozone best applies. Don't
cling blindly to old-time remedies, if
you don't find them effective. Let us

Liquozone after thousands Of tests had
been made with it. Its power had been
proved, again and again, in the most
difficult germ diseases. Then we offered
to supply the first bottle free in every
disease that required 1T. And over one
million dollars have been spent to an
nounce and fulfill this offer.
The result is that 100000 bottles
have been used, mostly in the past two
years. Today there are countless cured
ones, scattered everywhere, to tell what
LiQuozone has done.
But so many others need 1T that this
offer is published still. In late years,
science has traced scores Of diseases to
germ attacks. Old remedies do not ap-
ply to them. We wish to show those
sick ones-at our cost-what LiquoZone
can do.
