Faulty Digestion.
Quickly Skaters the Nervous System
and Should be Given Atten-
tion at Once.

The most common cause of weak and
shattered nerves is faulty digestion
For that reason Mi-o-na stomach tab
let's are of the greatest good to any
nervous sufferer. They strengthen the
digestive system so that it will assimi-
late all the elements of nerve force
from the daily food, and the nerves will
be strengthed. sleeplessness will be
overcome and weakness will vanish.
II you have specks before the eyes,
sick and nervous headaches or back
aches, in fact, If there are any symp.
toms Of indigestion or nervousness, be-
gin the use of Miona at once, and you
will soon notice improvement in health
You run no risk in buying Mi-o-na,
for G. M. Crosby & Co. give an absolute
guarantee with every 50-cent box, that
the money will be refunded unless Mi
o-na does all that is claimed for it.

CUBAN LACK OF PATRIOTISM.

Secretary Taft truly complains Of the lack
Of patriotism which he finds In Cuba. Petty
jealousies and personal ambitions often of a
braZen or a sordid nature take the place Of
that noble passion. This, there is little reason
to doubt. is the chief secret of the disaster
which has befallen the Cuban republic 1t Is
not, however, cause for wonder. The deplora-
bic conditions which prevail in Cuba are not
unique They have notoriously prevailed else
where, in lands where there was less excuse for
them than IN Cuba. Recall for example, the
frank confession made in behalf of Colombia
eight years ago by DR.. Jose Marroquin, in his
address assuming the ice-Presidency of
that republic:
Hatred, envy and ambition are elements of dis
cord. In the political arena the battle RACES
fercely, not SO much with the idea of securing
the triumph Of principles as with that of hum
bling and elevating persons and parties. . .
The notion Of Mother Country is mistaken or
obliterated. 1t is so intimately associated with
that of political disorders and with the Affections
and distrust which they engender that 1t is
not unusual TO hear from one of our country
men what could not be heard from native Of
any other country: 'I wish 1 had been born
somewhere else" Could many be found among
us who would feel proud when exclaining, 'I
am Colombian" in the same way that q
Frenchman does when exclaiming II am a
Frenchman"?
DR.. MarroQuin's words described only too
truly the state Of affairs existing not only IN
Colombia, but also in other South and Central
American states. 1t exists in Cuba also, In a
pernicious degree. Perhaps 1t is not so greatly
to be wondered at there, but is 10 be regarded
as almost natural If not inevitable, seeing that
for centuries the Cubans were in a sense people
without country, under the misgovernment
and oppression Of Spain. There was little
chance for the development Of patriotism in
such circumstances, unless the people had been
gifted with other dispositions and temperaments
than those which nature gave them-such, for
example, as those Of the Dutch and the Swiss
But what is certain now is that the most i'm
portant-and, we fear, not least dificult-les-
son for the Cuban people to learn is that of
patriotism, the patriotism which places the
nation above a party and far above the indI-
vidual interest or ambition. Until that lesson
is learned, talk Of Cuba Libre" will be
mockery.

TIE REAL ISSUE.

Mr. Hearst In his speech at Madison Square
Garden on Friday night settled question raised
by the apparent conflict between the two plat
forms on which he was nominated Would he
stand as an Independence League advocate Of
government ownership and state socialism or as
Bourke Cochran champion Of imperilled indi-
vidualisnf The editor candidate tactfully cleared
both horns OF his dilemma He said, and said
uuthfully, that he had made his own platform
before he was nominated by either the Inde-
pendencs League or the Democratic party. and
would stand on his expressed opinions and his
record As g matter OF fact, no other choice was
open 20 Mr. Hearst He has been his own
Warwick IN politics-or at least has hired his
own Warwick. He is the Independence League
and be now dominates the Democratic marty
What the Carnegie Hall or the Buffalo platform
says is q mere side Issue. The voters understand
perfectly that Mt. Hearsts personal views and
public activities are the only criteria worth con-
sidering in judging his candidacy
These criteria are accessible % all. Mr.. Hearst
has not bid bis opinions under bushel or drawn
vel over his aims and purposes. His news
papers have faithfully represented his ideals In
politics, and there is no possibility OF any voters
misinterpretng them. It IS the boast Of his
euIogists that he is the ablest and most success
ful disseminator IN this country Of political and
social unrest. He has labored for years TO array
Clhte bEdlusL C4dSS buQ 10 uuoerInlne and over
throw the existing economic order. He has
preached, in season and out of season. the In.
equaities and injustices OF that order and sought
10 supplant it with a new socialistc or semi
socialistic disDensaton. He processes nowadays
on the stump a certain caution and moderation.
Yet the reservations he makes DO not In any
way impair the scope and vitality Of his rad
icalisn. Hearstism as the people Of this city
and state have come 10 understand IT. is the NOV
ing force behind his canvass.
The significance Of the situation has been ad-
mirabiy grasped and expressed by Mr.. Hughes,
who In his message OF thanks TO the Saratoga
convention succincty stated the real issue Of the
campaign. "Ihe Republican party" he said,
has been called 10 defend the honor OF the
'etate and 20 represent the common sense of the
people and the cause OF decent government"
Alongside this vital issue the ordinary differ.

should be forgotten-when II comes 10 a choice

than at the capital. A transmission line would
be required, of course but this need not ex-
ceed 100 miles In length, and there would be
practically no limit to the development of power
If much more than the original output were de-
manded. Only small increase would be pos
sible at MonthouX, because the plan submitted
TO the authorities of Paris contemplated utiliz-
ing nearly the full capacity of the Rhone at the
very outset
So formidable this objection and the one
which is based on military considerations that
the prospect of the adoption of the project for
drawing on the Rh6ne does not appear to be
particularly promising. The final choice appar-
emily lies between the scheme recommended by
the experts employed by the Prefect of the
Seine and that suggested in "The London
Times" In passing Judgment upon these it
will be necessary to consider how the saving
on the cost Of fuel by establishing the works
near the mines would compare with the inter
est on the investment for transmission line
and the expense of maintenance.
