Ask your doctor if when
he orders a patient to drink
lots of pure milk he advises
the addition of a large
quantity of whiskey. He'll
tell you "no" very emphati-
cally. Yet there are people
who, when ordered to get
SCOTS Emulsion, will accept
some wine, cordial or extract
of cod liver oil and think it is
the same thing or better. If
you want and need cod liver
oil in its best, purest and
most easily digested form, get
SCOTS Emulsion. If you
want whiskey, that's another
matter, but don't look for the
same results.

Des Moines, Oct 4.-In his speech at
Indienola yesterday afternoon Sena-
tor Dolliver neatly inserted the knife
under the cuticle Of Senator La Fol-
lette, Of Wisconsin, by exposing the
meanness and dishonesty Of his Chau-
tauqua harangues.
Senator Dolliver showed how the
Wisconsin demagogue misquoted al
thorities to prove that the older days
were better, that the public officials In
the earlier times were less corrupt and
that the present day had fallen far be-
hind in the scale of morality and in
tegrity. At no place in his speech did
he mention the name of La Toilette,
but his reference to him was SO plain
that all who heard him recognized the
picture. He said in part:

American Public Life.

'Now there is much in our politics
to burden and irritate any we'll ordered
mind. There Is often a littleness ana
meanness about it: there is occasion
ally parade Of humbug in 1t. we
have not always been able to keep
clear Of the faint Of fraud and corrup.
ton, and the stream Of our political
life In the present infirmities Of human
nature is seldom free from the conten-
tons of personal rivalry and self seek
ing. But, Notwithstanding all these
things. there is in American public life
nobility and a chance of honorable
service which redeem it from all these
degradations and make it worthy OF
the national traditions and the better
ideals of popular government. 1t is
essential to the success of institutions
like ours that we should have faith IN
them and faith in those who are chosen
for the high responsibilities of their ad-
ministration.

purpose of Orator.

For several years the doctrine has
been diligently taught that our form
of government has fallen away from
its primitive integrity and is dominat-
ed by the corrupt influence of corpor-
atoms. Hers in Iowa, through our
admirable chautauqua system, we have
paid out large sums of money during
the last two or three years to hear an
elaborate indictment laid against the
entire machinery Of our government
for whole generation past. The pur-
pose of the orator appeared to be to
popularize a proposed amendment to
the interstate commerce law; but no.
body could listen to it without per-
ceiving that II what he said was true,
If indeed all departments Of the gov
trnment had for thirty years been sub
merged under the corrupt influence Of
the railroads and other corporations.
the prospect of our escape through the
interstate commerce commission was
so small as to excite hardly a languid
interest in the audience. If people
generally believed what this man said
we might well look with despair upon
the future Of popular government in
the United States.

Shares Humiliation.
La Toilette GarbIed Quotations.

THE orator to whom referred a
moment ago, in order to give the re-
speciality of learning to the scandal
against his own times which he was
engaged in circulating, called as wit
ness M. De Tocqueville. the eminent
French traveller. who in 1885 published
his impressions OF democracy in Amer
lea. He quoted these words Of the
Frenchman: In the Unuited States /
never heard man accused of spend
ing his wealth in corrupting the pop
ulace.' On that sentence. or rather /
ought to say. on that half a sentence,
for he never took the time to read all
Of it, he based his tribute to the elder
and better day Of the republic and
framed his anathema against existing
conditions. Now one would imagine
hearing that half sentence read, that
up to the year 1885 there must have
been ideal standards of the public vir-
tue in the United States and nj. Dc
Tocqueville was paying to them the
unfeigned tribute of friendly witness
But when you read the other half of
that sentence the illusion is dispelled
for he adds, but have often heard the
probity Of public Offices questioned;
still more frequently have heard their
success attributed to low intrigues and
immoral practices do not know
what facilities De Tocqueville had for
finding out what was going on in our
government while he was in the Unit
ed States. but we have ample facilities
now to know what kind of a govern
ment We had in 1885, what the STAN
dards Of morality were, and what the
practice and disposition Of public Of
ficials actually was

Single admission tickets for
the four numbers Of the lecture
course will cost considerable more
than the dollar season ticket, but
each number will be within reach
of anyone desiring to attend.
Pupils of the public schools
may purchase season tickets for
75c, such ticket being good for
the pupil whose name is written
on il only.
We have not been able to see
everyone personally in regard to
engaging season tickets, but any
one wishing tickets may procure
same by sending to or seeing the
superintendent of schools.
A practical canvas has assured
us of liberal patronage. If the
lecture course more than pays for
itself, the balance will be. used
for the school library. The open
ing number has been changed by
the lyceum bureau to Ash Davis,
the great cartoonist, followed by
Brush. the magician, the Dixie
Jubilee Singers and the orator,
DR.. Watson. This arrangement
of program will not be changed.

given Wednesday evening, Octo-

OPEN LETTER TO Gov
HOCH.

DEAR GovERNoR:-I see by the
that you have sent a
man from Cowley county to our
county (Cherokee) to close the
Joints, against the wishes of a
very large majority of its citi-
gems. / can truthfully say since
the two joints started in our town
there has been less drunkenness
than there was before. The reas-
on is simply this: A man who
wants a mug of beer can step in
and get it and go on about his
business. If he went to a drug
gist he would have to take a
whole bottle and swear a lie to
get it, and go off to some out
house and drink it. Men seldom
drink alone, so every man in the
crowd must each get a bottle and
each swear another lie to get it.
The result is that somebody gets
drunk. You know as well as l,
prohibition in Kansas is failure
and especially in the mining
towns of this state. / voted for
prohibition and influenced several
drunkards to vote for it, but it
done them no good. When it be-
came law they got drunk all
the same.
Now, Governor, l am 7S years
old; was born in the Republican
party when it came into exist
ence. Came to Kansas June %,
1856; settled II miles east of Os-
awatomie; lived there % years;
was we'll acquainted with old
John Brown; knew when he left
Kansas and what he intended to
do; have always voted the Repub-
lican ticket. l am indeed sorry
that you have taken this step
right on the eve of the election,
for it means that you will lose
more than one-half the Republic
an strength of this county unless
YOU come out in favor OF resub-
mission of the prohibition law.
For so help me God l will not
vote for you nor any representa-
tive who will not pledge himself
to favor resnbmission. / hear
many other Republicans express
themselves as / do. We have
been we'll pleased and proud OF
your record and know you have
done all you could to enforce the
prohibition law; and you see you
can not do it. What we blame
YOU for is to pick out our county
Just at this time. Why not COM
mence at home and clear as you
20. Crawford county, you pass
by, which has more than l4o
Joints, of which / am creditably
informed. Excuse my frankness
in telling what I think and if you
desire to publish this letter you
have my full consent to do so.
Your obedient servant,

Timber is being gotten on the
ground for the big new Ward
mill. This is going to be one OF
most complete mills in the dis
trict, and will be five hundred
ton affair.
The Three Queens company
has sub-leased its ground to c. B.
Rogers and others from Vinita.
Mr.. Rogers and his associates
will proceed to develop the prop
erty. The drill strike made on
this property was the best ever
made in any camp.
DIR. Winkler is feeling pretty
good over the big strike he has
made in his prospect shaft on the
Pasture Mining Company's lease.
The ore is exactly like that found
in the M. K. & T. property, and
if the shaft bears out the drill
record the strike is going to be a
very rich one.
The Good Luck prospect is
getting better every day. The
workmen are at present engaged
in removing a lot of mud which
came in in the head of the drift.
At the bottom of this mud is a
big and rich run of zinc bearing
dirt. Mr.. Huber from Paola,
was here last week, and he told
our mining reporter that the COM
pany will at once have plans
made for a concentrating plant.
The Indiana company is pro-
ducing lots of fine zinc ore these
days. Last week run OF solid
zinc ore was struck, and 1t IS
ready to go in the bin just as 1t
comes from the ground. When
the run was first struck it was
only five inches in thickness, but
it has thickened up until now it
is about three feet thick. Mr..
Sproull and his associates are
feeling mighty good, and well
they may.
There are. at the present time
eighteen complete concentrating
plants in the Baxter Springs dis
trict, and there will be at least
ten more before the first of the
year. The ouput of ore is grow
ing steadily and within a year
Baxter Springs will stand at least
in third place in point of produc-
ton. Older camps than the Bax-
ter Springs camp are now pro-
ducing much less ore. No lead
and zinc camp ever started has
grown so fast as the Baxter
Springs camp.
The Joplin knockers continue
to knock. Now, as to who these
knockers are: We want it dis
tinctly understood that they are
not the best people of the Mis-
souri, city, neither are they con-
nected with the newspapers Of
Joplin. The substantial people
Of Joplin are looking the Baxter
Springs camp with business eyes
and they feel that the develop
ment of the Baxter Springs camp
Is a good thing for them. The
newspapers of Joplin are very
fair, as newspapers usually are
