Why Many Women Suffer
 From Constipation.
The Natural Remedy.

The delicate and intricate character of the female organs make them most susceptible to irregularity, and for the same reason 1t Is most important that each one should be kept in condition to perform its functions in a normal manner. At all of the special periods when womankind is performing the functions peculiar to her sex, there is a decided tendency to sluggishness of the bowels. Nature then requires A gentle assistant. Not powerful and expensive drugs that must be taken at frequent intervals and are so dras- tic as to damage the tender lining of the stomach and bowels and do more harm than good, but a pure and harm less laxative such as is the famous Natural Mineral Water-HUNYADI JANOS-one dose of which will move the bowels gently but copiously in a natural manner The dose is Ia a tumblerful drunk on arising in the morning (slightly warmed for best re- sults.) One bottle contains many doses and costs but trifie at all Drug gists.

PRESIDENTIAL AssUMAcY.

In The Philadelphia Item of the 10th inst. there was a two-column article, based on statements made by a promi- nent citizen of that city and endorsed by The Item. which shows = a most graphic way the extent to which Roose- welt is trying to boss his party. In order to get a clear understanding of the matter it must be borne in mind that the Republicans of that State are divided at present. There are the reg ular Republicans" and what is known as Lincoln Republicans" and there has been a somewhat bitter factional fight between them. The leader of the LincoInites is ex-senator Lewis Emory. Jr., and from him The Item gets it's in- formation.
 With this explanation we quote a few expressions to show what the President proposes. First. we are told that he has made an unequivocal demand that the factional strife in Pennsylvania. which has ragged for up- ward of two years. shall cease" Then we are told that the President de- AhoAiNo lhN CAGSliOh OA AAO AO6 uAeNA ANO- publican ticket" We are told that 'an 'ultimatum has gone forth" and that the President will enter the fight in favor of the organization ticket" and will make speeches in the State for that ticket. There is a great deal more of the same sort, printed with all the emphasis that liberal use of capitals can give but this is sufficient to show the trend of the article.
 This is the extreme of Rooseveltism and in the language of Cassius we may asks: Upon what meat doth this our Ceasar feed, that he is grown so greatT' The diet that has so puffed him up Is the sycophantic adulation of those of his followers who crook the pregnant hinges of the knee, that thrift may f-llow fawning," to quote Shakespeare again. Either honestly and sincerely. or for their own profit, these man-worshippers have flattered, praised and slavered over him until he Is filled with such inordinate vanity and such an extravagant conception of his own greatness. that there Is hard ly any limit to his assumacy.
 It is all right and proper for even a President to feel solicitous for the suc- cess of his party friends. and there is no jmpropriety in his advising and counselling with them, but this is too mild for Theodore. He sends forth his ultImata and issues his commands and demands with as much assurance as any master ever used to his slaves. He shakes the big stick and demands that all Republicans fall in line. He cracks his whip and they must cringe and obey. His must" and his shall" are hurled at Republicans without condi- ton, and he expects implicit and prompt obedience.
 Now let 1t be understood that we care nothing for factional fights among Pennsylvania Republicans. If there could be any assurance that the LAn-

 If this Is so. and if any Democratic have been misled into supposing that the Georgia committee has acted con trarv to sound sense and good Demo cratic policy. 1t might help them to know what the Democrats in other States are doing. The following Is the Democratic rule adopted this year In Alabama:
 Be it further resolved. That all white voters who are qualified electors under the laws of this State, and who are Democrats, shall have the right to vote in such primary election, provided; however, that no person who opposed the nominees of the Democratic party in the last state and Congressional elections or voted against any of them: shall have the right to vote In said

as President Roosevelt is exempt from the common frailty.
 But the ono important lesson which this Presidential scandal should once more Impress upon the public mind is tho mischicvousness of Executive med ding with the legislation of Congress. Tho Constitution so clearly defines the line of separation betweenS the three great departments of the SavxernnNent that the gross impropfisty. of the inter ference of one with another need not be urged. When President Rooseyelt delivered his message it 10 assumed that he made his meaning plain enough to have ended until the measure should have been presented to him for his sig nature.
 The upshot of the various conferences and chickering's In the White House and elsewhere is that rate bIlf is going to pass: but 1t would have been bet- ter bill without doubt had President Roosevelt kept his fingers of 1t. He seems by his letter to Senator Allison to have some dim conception of this himself. It is no disparagement of him to say that of the eight-Odd members of the Senate the great majority. if un- molested by executive integrity were far more capable than he to mold this iegislation in accordance with the re- quirements of the country.

FRIDAY, MAY IS. 1906.
4 sEA-LEvEL CANAL.

The latest from Washington brings Ihe information that the Senate Com- mittee on Inter-Oceanic Canals will re- port in favor of a sea-level canal. There was only majority of one in the com mittee for that proposition but that majority is sufficient to require the committee to report in favor of the sea-level plan.
 Of course this does not mean that the plan will be adopted by Congress. 1t does not even mean that any plan will be adopted at the present session. The report merely means that the Sem etors who have had the plans under consideration will recommend the sea- level and then we may expect the mat ter to be discussed and debated for as tong a time as the Senators and Rep resentatives see proper to spend over 1t. That time, as we said, may outlast the pending session of Congress
 Nevertheless, the fact that the com mittee has finished with it and decid- ed to report is some evidence of pro- gress. No finite mind can foretell what the Senate will do. or the length of time they will be at it. If the Pres ident would fire one of his blusterous messages ordering the Senators to de- eide for the lock plan then that body would soon adopt the other. but other wise there is likely to be much debate and delay.
 We cannot resist the opinion that the sea-level plan will be best in the end. It will cost more in the first instance but will be better when completed. and little more money CT time should not stand in the way now, after so much of both has been wasted. One of the ob- jections urged against 1t is that an earthquake may occur and if 1t does it will ruin a canal of that kind That is valid argument but it applies with much greater force to the other kind for one earthquake might fill 1t as well as the other, and in addition would be liable 10 disarrange or destroy the locks. However, it may safely be said that the country will be content with either if Congress will only adopt a plan and proceed to put it into sxecu- tion. There has already been entirely too much waste of time and too much reckless expenditure of money, and the country has become impatient ever it. Those who will sign the report arc among the best informed of the sena- tors, and as they agree with a majori- ty of the Board of Engineers their judgment should have much weight. Quit talking and diny- dallying and dig. ought to be the program now.

Mr. Comer and Cetten.

Talledega Mountain Home.
 Mir. Conner says as a cotton manufac- turer he might think cotton at five cents a pound would be a fair price, but as a seller he would think twenty cents about right. As he manufactures tm- mepsely more than he raises and con- sequently has to buy more than he sells it is easy to see where his interest is, when it comes to a clash between manufacturers and raisers of cotton. He says all men will follow their inter- ests regardless of anything else and therefore according to his own declara- tions he is for low priced cotton.-- Montgomery Advertiser, May 13.
 The Advertiser evidently has in mind MT. Corners speech delivered in Tal- adega, October 2l, when he opened his campaign. These are MT. Conner s exact words: T am both a manufacturer and a farmer. As farmer l raise about l,40O bales of cotton and as far mer I think about % cents for cotton Is cheap. As manufacturer l buy about 10000 bales and I think five cents for that is about right" The above statement startled MT. Corners hearers and within a few days one of his supporters wrote him of the effect it was having in Talladega, advising him to refrain from repeating 1t In the future, and since that time we have not seen it in MT. Corners published speeches. We have MT, Corners exact words uttered on the same occasion about him being the largest indiViVd- ual property owner in Talladega coun- ty," but we will leave the discussion of this until another time.

colites are honestly and sincerely m favor of reform; if we could believe they. if they should cems into power would deliver the state om tne clutches of the spoilsnaen and iooters, we might wish thaip success, Tor T ever political and civic conditions needed reforming that reform is need ed in Pennsylvania. But we have little confidence in any referm in that state as long as the Repsbiiesns dominate it. It will be merely a change ef mas ters. and the brood of politicians who have fattsned on the people would probably only give place to hungrier one.
 Taking that view of the case. We would prefer to see the two factehs tear and rend each other, We would be glad to see them engage in kh- kenny cat fight until there would pc nothing left of them but two tails to wag a last farewell to their redeemed country. All the same. we think that both wings of the Republicans should resent the determination of their President to put sass on them and force them to obey his commands We suppose. though, that they will not dare disobey. lest they lose their stand- ing at the p.e-couRter. Politics must be at d low ehb when President can command his party followers and they obey him.
