disease should be regarded as criminal.

and suffering OF mankind is due TO the
violation of certain of Natures laws.
But TO say that all sickness should be
regarded as criminal, must appeal to
every reasonable individual as radically
wrong
1t would be harsh, unsympathetic,
cruel, yes criminal. to condemn the poor,
weak, Over-worked housewife who sinks
under the heavy load of household cares
and burdens, and suffers from weak
nesses, various displacements OF pelvic
organs and other arrangements peculiar
to her sex.
Frequent bearing of children, with its ex-
ecting demands upon the system, coupled
with the care. worry and labor OF rearing
large family. Is often the cause OF weak
neSSes arrangements and debility which are
aggravated BY the many household cares.

by this dog-in-the-manger policy. 1t
has already been very costly to our
people, having increased the cost Of
living 48 per cent since 1897 when the
present high tariff law was enacted.
''It is the 'standpat' policy, under
which the prices Of cereals are deciin-
ing and the prices of trust manufac-
tured products are advancing.
"'Will you vote, it asks, to con-

ing congressman and senators who
support it. or will you vote to revise
the tariff, so that there will be fair
deal all around, as the democrats and
tariff reform republicans propose?'"
