SIT ON THE LEFT IN DRIVING
Said to Be the Proper Position Where
Traffic Keeps to the Right

In driving we violate the most ele-
mentary requirements by persistent
ly sitting upon the wrong side of the
vehicle. .....
We turn to the right and we sit on
the right thus effectually obscuring
our view ahead in traffic; compelling
our footmen to jump down into the
dirty street and to run all around the
carriage. both at stopping and start
ing while to the friend who would
accompany us in self-driven vehicles
we offer the alternative of crawling
into our lans and under the reins or
going out into the street and swarm
ing up from that situation or we
alight. abandon control of the horse
and Chamber in after the passenger
has preceded us. 3te
Was ever anything more ridicu-
lous? Nor can anyone cite any single
reason for sitting on the right (where
traffic keeps to the right or against
sitting on the left. For more than

HEARST'S AMfRICANISM
The GubernatoriaI Candidate of the
Democrats-Independe League
Defines His Policy

Rochester, N. Y.-William Randolph
Hearst is winning golden opinions
among all classes by his advocacy
of the overthrow of corporation gov
ernment through party bosses. His
speeches are models to be initiated by
all who would make sure of holding
interest of hearers. Practically every
body turns out to hear Hearst. The
following is an extract from Mr..
Hearst's address at Rochester:
Il am assailed on one hand by
newspapers controlled by the specula-
tive interests of Wall street as an
enemy of conservatism, and on the
other hand by the organs of the so
cialists as the enemy of radicalism.
l am iwlling to be opposed by each
etreme, for I do not believe that
the political and economic difficulties
under which we labor can be remedied
by either extreme.
81 have said repeatedly that my pro
gram is not an extreme of any kind
but simply Americanism; that my plan
Is to put into practical operation the
accepted theory of American govern
ment. The unequal conditions that
exist and that find their most odious
expression in boss rule of parties
and corporation control of government
are not due to any fundamental flaw
in our American system, but to our
failure to put into practice the prin-
ciples we profess.
According to the American idea
the people themselves should nomi-
nate their candidates These candi-
dates should be selected in just pro-
portion from the business men labor
ing men, farmers and professional
men that constitute the citizenship;
and these when elected should repre-
sent faithfully and intelligently the
best interests of their constituents
and of the whole people.
Under our present radical deDar-
ture from the American idea, candi-
dates are nominated more and more
by political machines. These ma
chimes are manipulated more and
more by bosses in the interest of cor
rupt corporations. These speculative
corDorations actually purchase from
politicians license to exploit the peo-
pie; they can well afford therefore to
contribute portion of their extor-
tionate proofs to perpetuate their op-
portunities for plunder.
According to our American theory
of government, citizens are entitled to
free choice between candidates to
free ballot and to an honest count,
and, finally, to conscientious service
from honest officials, honestly elected
Under the present radical departure
from the American system both no
litical machines are usually controlled

SCENTS DANGER AHEAD


Order to Deal With Swollen
Harrisburg, Pa.-President Roose-
velt delivered a most remarkable ad-
dress at the dedication Of the state
capital building On the 4th inst He
stood bareheaded in a pouring rain
while he spoke. His address In part
is as follows:
.The extraordinary industrial
changes of the last half century have
produced totally new set Of condt-
tons, under which new evils flourish;
and for these new evils new remedies
must be devised. Some Of these evils
can be grappled with by private ef-
forts only - But many Of these
evils are Of such a nature that no pri-
vate effort can avail against them.
These evils, therefore, must be Crap
pied with by governmental action In
some cases this governmental action
n.ust be exercised by the several
states individually In yet Others i
has become increasingly evident that
no efficient state action is possible
and that we need through executive
ortinp fhroryub 1oui lot nud
through judicial Interpretation and
construction of law, to increase the
power of the federal government.
"If we fail thus to increase it, we
show our impotence and leave our
selves at the mercy of those ingenious
legal advisers of the holders Of vast
corporate wealth. who, In the perfOr-
nance of what they regard as their
duty, and to serve the ends of their
clients, invoke the law at one time
for the confounding of their rivals,
and at another time strive for the
notification of the law, in order that
they themselves may be left free to
work their unbridled will on these
same rivals, or on those who labor
for them, or on the general public.
In the exercise of their profession
and in the service of their clients
.hese astute lawyers strive to pre-
vent the passage of efficient laws and
strive to secure judicial determine
tions of those that pass which shall
emasculate them. They do not in
woke the constitution in order to COM
pel the due observance OF law alike
by rich and poor, by great and small;
on the contrary, they are ceaselessly
on the watch to cry out that the con-
stitution is violated whenever any
effort is made to invoke the aid OF
the national government whether for
the efficient regulation Of railroads,
for the efficient supervision of great
corporations. or for efficiently securing
obedience to such law as the ma
tional eight hour law and similar So
called labor statutes.

tataed frem Calcfam Calcium Stl- fIiae) and sold in drug stores under tbe name of St0aYtss Calcium Waters. They are small chocolate coated pei lets and contain the active medicinal principle of sulphur in q highly con- cenrated, effective form.
 Few people are aware of the value of this form Of sulphur in restoring and maintaining bodily yigor and health; sulphur acts directly on the liver and eXcretory organs and puri- fies and enriches the blood by the prompt elimination of waste material
 Our grandmothers knew this when they dOsed us with sulphur and mo lasses every spring and fall, but the crudity and impurity of ordinary flow CTS of sulphur were often worse than the disease, and can not compare with the modern concentrated preparations of sulphur, of which Stuart's Calcium Waters is undoubtedly the best and most widely used.
 They are the natural antidote for liver and kidney troubles and cure constipation and purify the blood in a way that often surprises patient and physician alike.
 Rr. R. NJ. Wilkins, while expert menting with sulphur remedies soon found that the sulphur from calcium was superior to any other form. He says: "For liver, kidney and blood troubles, especially when resulting from constipation or malaria, I have been surprised at the results obtained from Stuarts Calcium Waters. In patients suffering from boils and pim. ples and even deep-seated carbuncles, I have repeatedly seen them dry LID and disappear in four or five days. leaving the skin clear and smooth. Al. though Stuart's Calcium Waters is a proprietary article, and sold by drug gists, and for that reason tabooed bv many physicians. yet I know of noth- ing so safe and reliable for constipa- tion, liver and kidney troubles and especially in all forms of skin dis. ease as this remedy"
 At any rate people who are tired of pills. cathartics and so-called blood "purifiers," will find in Stuart's Cal cum Waters far safer, more pala- table and effective preparation.

 Tomatoes are among the fruits rich in potash. especially good for the blood and with marked action on digestive operations. They provide alkaline mat ter for the bile and are wholesome for people who suffer from jaundice or sick headaches.

What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body in Health and
 Disease.

The mention of sulphur will recall to many of us the early days when our mothers and grandmcthers gave us our daily dose of sulphur and molasses every spring and fall.
 It was the universal spring and fall "blood purifier" tonic and cure-all, and mind you, this old-fashioned rem edy was not without merit.
 The idea was good, but the remedy was crude and unpalatable. and q large quantity had to be taken to get any effect.
 Nowadays we get all the beneficial effects of sulphur in palatable, ccn' centrated form, so that single grain is far more effective than table spoonful of the crude sulphur.
 In recent years, research and experiment have proven that the best sulphur for medicinal use is that ob-
