HARD LINES FOR THE 6RAFTERs.

The expulsion from the Colorado Sen
ate. by vote that lacked only one of
being unanimous, of member found
upon investigation to have taken bribe
is another healthy sign of the growing
determination in this country to drive
graft and corruption from the halls of
legislation.
A few weeks ago the Arkansas Senate
expelled member for the same offense,
another member has been sent to the
penitentiary for perjury in connection
with acts of bribery committed in the
session of two years ago.
Senator Burton, in jail at Ironton, is
still another evidence that the temper
of the times demands that men sent to
represent the people in Congress and in
State legislatures shall honestly use the
powers intrusted to them.
Governor Folks war upon the lobby
at Jefferson City accords with the spirit
manifested all over the country that not
only members of legislative bodies be
held accountable for the honest per-
Torrance of their functions, but that
they shall not be annoyed by corrupt
solicitation to betray their trust.
1t is necessary to enforce the rule
rigidly, if representative government is
to accomplish the purposes for which it
exists. The great majority of legisla-
tors, as of other men, are honest, but
there are among them some who cannot
resist temptation.
To enforce scrupulous integrity of
action and to make election to Congress
or to State Legislature a testimonial
of merited public confidence which the
recipient dare not betray is popular
purpose too evident to be mistaken.
The lot of the corrupt lobbyist and of
the legislative CRATER is no longer cast
in pleasant places. st. Louis Republic.

Rev. "Billy.' Sunday has formulated
some new forms of expression in one of
his "sermons" at Kankakee he delivered
himself to the following: II am the
warm, uncompromising enemy of the
devil. have fought him for nineteen
years and I'll fight him till hell freezes
over and then I'll buy a pair of skates
and fight him on the ice.'

When a man pursuing the daily
peaceful avocations of life goes around
with a revolver on his person, it is
prima facie evidence that he is either
fool or criminal, and in either case
he ought to be locked up.

CATARRH GROWING LESS.
Due to the Use of Hyomei. Cures
Without Stomach Dosing.

There has been marked falling off of
sales, Of catarrh cures in the local
stores the past year. Medicines which
were formerly purchased in gross lots
are now seldom called for, and the
druggist rarely buys more than a dozen
at time.
Hyomei is a notable exception to this
decrease in sales. 1t is, in fact, largely
responsible for the lessened sales of
catarrh medicines, as it has cured SO
many people of catarrhal troubles that
naturally there is less call for that di-
sease.
There is no disagreeable stomach
dosing with Hyomei. 1t is breathed
through neat pocket inhaler that
comes with every Hyomei outfit. L. p.
Van Werden give his personal guaran-
tee that the money will be refunded
unless the treatment cures, so that you
run no risk at all in buying this reliable
remedy.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but

Why He Waited.

The following story is told of the
bishop of Sodor and Mans visit to
Melton Mowbray some time ago, says
the Philadelphia Inquirer: brougham
awaited him at the station. and he
stepped into It. expecting to be taken
at once to his destination. To his sur
prise, however. the coachman sat mo-
tionless on the box without the least
intention, apparently, of leaving the
station. At last the bishop inquired
why he was waiting.
We'll. sir" said the coachman. 81

SodOr and Man. You've arrived, sir,
and now I'm waiting for your man."
