The Fourth of JULY.

On next Wednesday we celebrate the
13Oth anniversary of the Declaration
Of independence. Few realize the many
changes that have taken place during
that time or the remarkable growth
and expansion of the original Is colo

scented to the public, and for the past
% years has given complete satisfac-
ton in thousands of homes where it
reigns supreme. These people were
led TO realize its wonderful power by
being persuaded to try it when their
stomachs were weak and their systems
run down. and a similar experience
awaits you as soon as you resolve TO
try it. Do so today and yOu make the
first step toward good health. 1t cures

Next Law With Iron Teeth.

A conversation at the Waldorf-AS-
toria. in which Senator Bailey of Texas
participated a few evenings ago. has
created a great deal sf comment among
the persons involved and those to whom
they related it. The facts leaked out
yesterday.
Mr.. Bailey. who had made flying
trip to New York. was seated at Il
table at the WaldOrf-Astoria with some
friends, when several persons prOmi-
nent in corporation affairs came up.
Some of them were officials of the
Standard Oil company. The gentlemen
az Mr.. Bailey's table were acquainted
with them. and introduced them to the
senator.
They sat down and the conversation
naturally turned on the recent events
at Washington. the determination evil
dent there to make things unpleasant
for corporations, and in particular the
passage of the railway rate bill. with
the stringent amendments added in the
senate
Mr.. Bailey did not say much at this
stage of the conversation. He listened
to the Standard Oil men. who gradually
became stronger in their expressions.
They complained bitterly at the dis
position evident in Washington to make
things unpleasant for them. and sharp
" attacked the railway rate bill and
the senate amendments. Presently Mr.
Bailey. who had been listening patient
~. struck into the conversation in an
emphatic and menacing tone.
You gentlemen who run these cor
i ~
law. If You had obeyed it in the first
place YOU would not have this new leg
islation TO complain of All your prop
critics are held by virtue of the popular
respect for law, and yet you are the
very men who are doing most by your
acts 10 break down this respect for
law
Every time congress passes a law
you violate it. You have violated every
law we have given you. We gave you
the interstate commerce act; you vio-
lated that. We gave you the Sherman
antitrust law; YOU violated that Then
we gave you the Elkins law. and you
violated that Now we give you new
one If you violate that. we will give
you another that will have iron teeth
A pause ensued after this declaration
of Senator Baileys. After a while one
of the corporation officials present
as 81:

law with iron teeth

one OF YOU 20 the penitentiary," an

rounds of the press of the state to the
effect that Mayor McCaskrin and six
Rock Island aldermen are in jail for
violating an injunction, relative to the
destruction of railroad property. This
