jects to reducing the tariff on the nee
essaries of life, when he knows that
it benefits only few millionaires,
while it is contrary to everything that
goes to make up republican form
of government Would it not be a
good plan for the people of his state,
the state of Benjamin Harrison; the
state which was the home Of Thomas
A. Hendricks; the state where d. W..
Voorhees,, the Tall Sycamore of the
Wabash, for SO many years represent
ed the people, insist that Mr.. Bever-
idge do a little dreaming and also a
little Directing? Indiana had a man
who, for many, many years, was a
member of congress from one Indiana
district called the watch dog of the
treasury; to anyone who had lived
long in the state it would not be nee
essary to mention his name. 1t was
BILL Holman He was always ready
to champion the cause of the people,
mean the common people. think he
was also called the Director; will the
people of Indiana forget him?
Now there is no watch dog in con-
gress it seems; there is no one tc
object to republicans purloining the
insurance policyholders' money to buy
votes with; If there be such they are
SO weak voiced that we do not hear
of them any more What we want is
a good dreamer, a good strong OBJ
jector in the White House, and a
good many of them in congress. Al
though President Roosevelt has found
a few of the plunderers gully he never
even dreams of furnishing any OF
them; he seems to think all that is
necessary is to let the people know
who the guilty ones are. | myself
think it is good to let us know who
is robbing u.s. l also think we will
settle with a few of them. One would
hardly think that man who had been
found guilty would put himself up
for office again, but We have some
who have such contempt for the peo-
pie that have the hardihood to do so.
The Commoner is doing great
good and | hope it will continue to
blow it's bugle horn until everyone of
the rascals have been driven out and
honest men put in their places wheth-
er they be so called democrats, re-

BOURGEOIS TO STATE
 VIEW OF FRANCE
EVERYBODY GLAD THAT ALICE ClRAS CONFERENCE IS ENDED. NEITHER FRANCE NOR GER MANY SCORED REAL VICTORY.

Paris, April 1-Foreign Minister Bour- geois at an early date will address the chamber of deputies, setting forth the governments view of the result of the conference on Moroccan reforms at Al geciras.
 The agreement was hailed today with satisfaction by officials and by the pub lie press which was weary of the pro- longed controversy and the disturbing possibilities of war. The view in offi- cial quarters is that France secures a fair degree of success on the principal propositions of police and state banks. However, 1t is recognized that neither France nor Germany has secured all that was wanted. Frances desire to have control of the police was partially re- alized in her being allowed to police the important Atlantic ports, including Moga- dor which Germany was suspected as coveting, and also with her ally, Spain, to police Tangier and Casa Blanca.
 On the other hand it is thought that Germany's desire to internationalize Mo rocco was partly realized, as the Franco Spanish police is subordinated to an in- spector who will report to the diplomatic corps.
 Thus both countries. in a measure, were successful, but each is so safeguard ed that neither will be able to claim a victory. Frances pacific penetration of Morocco, 1t Is thought, is remotely post poned, as it Is likewise to the cream of the vast northwestern African empire. The officials here consider that the agree ment between France and Germany as- sures the preservation of the peace of Europe.

Wears Out the Nerves.

Do you realize that pain IS weakening, and exhausts your vitality? Don't you remember how completely worn out you felt after that last attack of headache, neuralgia, backache, periodical or other spell of suf- fering? Nearly every case of inflammation, apoplexy, paral- ysis, epilepsy and insanity is directly due to the weakening influence of pain upon the brain nerves? For this reason every one who suffers from pain of any kind should not fail to get relief as quickly as possible.
 You can do this by taking Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills others do.
 T have used Dr. Miles Antf-Paln Pills for years. and can say they have never failed. always keep them in the house. in fact had rather be without sugar than the Pills.
