Modest Claims Often Garry the Most
Conviction.

When Maxim, the famous gun inven-
tor, placed his gun before a committee of
judges, he stated its carrying power to
be much below what he felt sure the
gun would accomplish. The result of
the trial was therefore a great surprise,
instead of disappointment. 1t is the
same with the manufacturers of Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. They do not publicly boast of
all this remedy will accomplish, but pre-
fer to let the users make the statements.
What they do claim, is that it will
positively cure diarrhoea, d~ysentery.

The rhief,s Opportunity.

The beef trust is Just as good as any
other trust. The methods Of all trusts
are the same. They are all actuated by
the principle of a monopoly, which is
to lower the cost of its product and in
crease the price of it at the same time,
and that this end justifies any means
tending to bring it about. The men
who manage the beef trust, the men
whom Mr.. Roosevelt is now denouncing
as prisoners and thieves. are the same
men whom he has Iauled as great cap
tains of industry" and as 1.-The strong and
forceful men who have won success
In business. They may have been good
men in 1902. hxt it is opportunity that
makes the thief; and the trust is the
thief's opportunity.

Victory For Reform.

Political conditions in South Dakota
are much like those in Wisconsin and
Iowa. The Republicans are badly split
on the tariff question and the insur-
gents won a complete victory in the
last state convention. The Mitchell Ca
zette and other Democratic papers gave
aid and comfort to the reformers in the
ante-convention campaign, and the vic
tory for reform over protectionism and
graft is a long step toward the COM
plete undoing of the Republican ma
chine in South Dakota. Indeed. that
state is likely to give it's electoral vote
to the Democratic candidate in 1908.

White House Scapeeonts.

How handy it is to have a scapegoat

goats are always kept in stock at the
White House in these strenuous Re
publican times. Senator Bcvcrid"e is

Bowel Complaint in Children.

During the summer months children
which should receive careful attention
as soon as the first unnatural looseness
of the bowels appears. The best medi-

hoea Remedy as it promptly controls
any unnatural looseness of the bowels.

Far Sighted Economy.

Try a little Kodol for dyspepsia after
your meals. See the effect it will pro-
duce on your general feeling by digest
ing your food and helping your stomach
to get itself into shape. Many stomachs
are overworked to the point where they
refuse to go further. Kodol digests
your food and gives your stomach the
rest it needs, while its reconstructive
properties get the stomach back into
working order. Kodol relieves hatu-
lence, sour stomach, palpitation of the
heart, etc. Sold by Burke g. Co.

properly upheld Senator Morgan in re-
