Canada is undergoing somewhat

the question of Sabbath observance
to that inaugurated by Gov. Folk
in Missouri, and now prevailing in
Louisville and other cities of the
Union. In the Canadian House of
Commons on the 9Th a bill was
passed which exceeds in its strin-

ton to the prohibition of open
saloons and various sports, hitherto
permitted, no Sunday newspapers
can either be published in Canada

No games or amusemeats for gain

CAFABRl A GERM DISEASE

Now that physicians and scien-
lists universally agree that catarrh
is germ disease, the reason for
the failure of the oldlfashioned
stomach dosing in this trouble is
readily seen.
Prior TO the discovery of Hyomei
treatment which cures catarrh
by filling the air you breathe with
germ killing and healing medioa-
ton, statistics showed that at
least ninety-seven out of every
hundred persons in this State were
suffering from catarrh in some
form.
The treatment with Hyomei is
very simple and pleasant; a small
inhaler comes with every outfit
and three or four times a day
Hycmei is nreathed through this,
making the air at that time like
that found in the mountains where
the pine forests give of their
fragrance and healing.
The complete outfit costs but
one dollar, viii extra bottles can
be obtained for soc. W. S. Lloyd

from those protested by Mr.. Bryan,
and therefore his programe can
be made equally enticing. This
fact, taken in conjunction with his
undoubted and deserved popular
ity, would make him formidable
opponent under any circumstances
and might even enable him to tri-
umph over the third-term bogey.
"Possibly Col. watterson overes-
Inmates the intensity Of the natl
onal distrust of third term. No
third term has not yet been made
part of the Constitution, nor has
it been accepted as a national prin
ciple like the Monroe Doctrine.
Every rule has its exceptions and
it is easy to conceive of political
crisis wherein the reelection OF
President OF. the United States for
third term might be not only
unobjectionable, but even adviss
BILE.
I'm any case, Mr.. Roosevelt's
denomination appears to be almost
a foregone conclusion. 1t may
indeed be rendered obligatory by
the fact that he seems to be the
only candidate powerful enough to
hold the party together and oppose
with any chance of success such a
candidate as Mr.. Bryan. 1t is in
disputable that the tide of popu-
larity is flowing strongly, in favor
Of the Nebraskan, and the Repub-
lican party may have its work cut
out to wrest victory from him. AL
ready the Democrats are beginning
to regard him hopefully as the
political Moses who is destined o
lead them out of the wilderness
into the promised land Of which the
center is the White House."

Mr.. Watterson OF the Courier
journal is sure Hon. w. Jennings
Bryan will be the D mocractic
nominee for the Presidency. In
an interview in New York he says;
or his disposition of his prospec-
tive candidacy Mr.. Bryan is very
happy indeed.
Mr.. Bryan is very right to wave
the wreath away and to hold the
future in allegiance. And he may
not only safely do this, but it is
prudent and polite for him to do
it. All the same, his nomination
is as nearly certain as anything
can be so long ahead
"Why lie thiss" asked the report
err.
First Mr.. Bryan has a distinct
following, which has held together,
which prefers him to all others,
which believes him to have been
cheated out of two elections and
which cannot be sOlidly voted for
any other candidate; second, for
the reason that many original
causes of factional differences have
passed from the scene; and, third,
that the more upright and honor
able men of the party do not i'm
tend, if they en- help it, to have
any aspirant show himself in the
next National Convention able and
willing to buy the hotels, the hall,
the mob and the brass bands, pro
ducing confusion and endng in
split or the appearance of split
"This can be done by naming
Mr.. Bryan in most of the State
conventions far enough in advance
to leave the National Convention
with nothing to do except re-
cord it, naming his yoke-mate
and adopting platform"
OF the New York reception Mr..
Watterson knew nothing, and de-
clined to participate in the recep-
tiou by contributing a speech, and
concerning this he says;
Il would certainly look little
queer among the shouters about
Mr.. Bryan's chariot wheel / op-
posed MIN once, repudiating his
platform. 1 am not a politician,
but a journalist, committed only to
the telling Of the passing history

Democratic PHILOSOPHERS. if not
