Obviously the system has reached the
point where the n are compelled
to do something for their own protec-
ton, and the restrictions asked ought
to be reasonable to any honest work
man. Big wages are paid. the pros
perity of the camps depends upon the
safety and stability of operations, and
1t is quite rs much to the interest OF
the men as Of the owners to safeguard
the rights of stockholders in the prop
critics.
The millions that are being invested
in Nevada by outsiders are going there
on the assurance that the whole mining
industry will be afforded every protec-
tion any other industry is given under
the law. The future permanence OF
Nevada's prosperity depends upon the
confidence of investors in the States
ability to maintain order and guarantee
the safety of their legal rights.
So far the men who have developed
the Nevada camps have shown their
ability to meet every crisis, and 1t is
to be hoped that the miners and owners
alike will recognize the necessity for a
settlement Of their troubles that shall
carry with it assuranc of permanence
and a continuance of the prosperity
that has attended the mining business
there.

Thinks Castle Won't Do

An oldtime wheel horse of the Re-
publican party in DeKalb county, writes
the Advertiser his views on the situa-
ton relative to representative, as fol-
lows:
''The 'apportionment' of candidates
to the different sections of a county,
for instance, is frequently attended
with serious difficulty. This year the
allotment of member of the legislature
fell to Sandwich. Circumstances die
tated the selection of Castle for the
honor. AS it has turned out, large
portion of the people of the county
regard Mr.. Castle as a person totally
unfit to represent them at Springfield.
Nevertheless Sandwich was entitled to
one of the officers and no other Office
would do except representative. Isn't
the humbug of the thing as plain as
the nose on your face? And wouldn't
it be well for the statesmen of the
county to get their heads together and
consider the propriety of leaving the
selection of representative open, in
order that the best man for the place
may be chosen, no matter what part of
the county he happens to reside in, or
without regard to how many other can
didates hail from his quarter"
A better way to do it would be for
the voters of the county to get together
and snow under an undesirable and
unfit candidate every time he shows
his head, no matter where he halls
from or by whom put forward.-Ed.

The Hotbed of Crime

Read this, from the report of the No
vember grand jury in Cook county,
Illinois:
'It was matter of general remark
among the grand jurors, that large
number of the cases before them were
connected at some stage with saloons.
Larcenies and burglaries were gener-
ally planned or executed in saloons.
We had before us one murder COM
mitted in saloon, and two others just
outside. The assaults to kill or to do
bodily injury which happen in or about
saloons are SO numerous that they
cannot be recalled.
with the evidence before us we be-
lieve the mayor is to be heartily COM
mended for every license he has re-
voked, and that the good of the COM
munity would be subserved were many
more licenses to be forthwith recalled"

Sound and Practical

1t is not in the prayer book, nor did
the preacher say it in the pulpit, or out
of it, so far as we know, but we read
it in secular" paper, an ordinary,
everyday, workaday paper; and this is
what it said: "a genuine Christian is
not first Republican or Democrat,
but Christian to begin with, and then
party man, controlled in his partisan
ship by his religion. God and dirty
ticket can never go together!" We
believe that is sound" practical reli-
gion.-Venango indicator.

Good Word for Tindall

An Honest Farmer Makes Good Rep
reSentative
George M. Tindall, the South Grove
candidate for Representative in the
General Assembly, was in the city the
last of the week. He is quiet and mod
est in demeanor, without much fuss or
buster about him, but at that he gives
the appearance of man of force and
purpose, who could be depended upon
to put up fight for what he conceived
to be right. He is a good type of the
successful farmer, and looks to be just
the right sort of man the farmers of
the county would want to represent
them in the legislature, and safe man
for anybody to tie to. Better put in a
good word for Mr. Tindall as often as
occasion offers.-DeKalb Advertiser.

The Need of Local Option
Illustrated

The people of the little town of Buda.
Bureau county, Illinois, had the follow
ing unique experience in dealing with
the liquor forces. The question of Ii
cense or no license had been the issue
so long in their spring election that
the people of the little village agreed
among themselves to settle the ques-
ton by direct vote instead of submit
ting it to the councilmen after their
election to office. So there was but
one ticket put in the field that spring.
The whisky forces were on the alert,
and every man on the ticket to be
elected was whisky man. That spring
they elected four, the president and
three councilmen. With the president
on the full ticket, and with the agree
ment among all that the question
should be settled this year by the direct
vote of the people the town went wet.
At the next spring election the people
again petitioned for the privilege of
voting direct upon the question of sa-
loon or no saloon, as they had done
the previous year, but now that the
whisky men were in the majority in
the council, having four out of seven,
they simply set back and laughed at
the peoples demand for majority
rule. And though the people turned
out and elected three straight temper
ance men to the council, the saloons
went on doing business at the old
stands in spite of the expressed will of
the majority. This is but one illustra-
ton of the way the so-called liberal
element view liberty when it is power.
1t is stated that there are $50 saloons
in Jerusalem, and not a book store or
a newspaper existing there. We know
of towns that can support from three
to five saloons and have neither bak-
cry nor butcher shop; they cannot be

NO MAN is STRONGER THAN
HIS STOMACH.

Let the greatest athlete have dyspepsia
and his muscles would soon fail. Physi-
cal strength is derived from food. II a
man has Insufficient food he loses strength.
II he has no food he dies. Food is con-
verified into nutrition through the stom
ach and bowels. Ii depends on the
strength OF the stomach 70 what extent
food eaten is digested and asslmilated.
People can die OF starvation who have
abundant food to eat, when the stomach
and its associate organs Of digestion and
nutrition do not perform their duty.
Thus the stomach Is really the vital or
gan Of the body. IL the stomach isrweak"
the body will be weak also, because IL is
upon the stomach the body relies for It's
strength. And as the body, considered as
whole, Is made up Of its several mem
bers and organs, so the weakness Of the
body as a consequence OF weak stom-
ach will be distributed among the or
gans which compose the body. II the
that physical weakness will be found in
all the organs-heart, liver, kidneys, etc.
The liver will be torpid and inactive,
giving rise to biiiousness, loss OF appetite,
weak nerves, feeble or irregular action OF
heart, palpitation, dizziness, headache,
backache and kindred disturbances and
weaknesses.
