catarrh Cannot be Cured

with local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a
blood or constitutional disease and in
order to cure it you must take internal
remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally and acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh
Cure is not quack medicine. 1t was pre-
scribed by one Of the best physicians in
this country for years and is regular
prescription. 1t is composed of the best
tonics known, combined with the best
blood purifiers, acting directly on the
mucous surfaces. The perfect combina-
ton of the two ingredients is what pro-
duces such wonderful results in curing

Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription con tains no alcohol, and no narcotics or other harmful or habit-fo forming drugs, as will be seen from it's published in gredients.

 You can't afford to accept any secret snostrum of unknown composition and of questionable merit as a substitute flor this professionally endorsed and time tested remedy OF KNOWN COMPOSITION, simply that some unprincipled dealer may make little larger profit.

 When the cars met all the lights were extingushed and the Western avenue car was carried along toward the curbing.

The Mexican Government and Its Rail-
roads.

a.
The Mexican government takes
an active part in the railroad bust
ness Of that country, and the fact
that it does SO seems to attract rath-
er than repel American capital.
There arc hundreds of millions OF
American money invested in Mexi-
can railroad securities.
The government of Mexico owns
enough stock in most of the rail.
reads of that country to protect the
public from the schemes Of interlock-
ed dhectorates and law.defying rail.
way officials. 1t is quite safe to say
that no Rockefeller ever got rebate
or advantage over another shipper
in Mexico.
The Mexican government, by req.
son of its interest in the railroads OF
that country, is in a position to in
sist upon square deal for everyone,
and at the same time not overshad-
ow or dwarf the private interests Of
the several railroad corporations Of
that republic.
Two years ago the writer Travelled
several thousand miles on Mexican
railroads, and as near as he could
determine the railroad business OF
that country, with one exception,
was transacted by its several rail
road companies the same as rail
road business is transacted in this
country. The exception consisted
in the check which was kept by gov
eminent officials upon everything
that was done by the employees Of
Of the railroads. Even the conduc.
tors, while engaged in the collection
of fares and tickets, were accompa
MED by uniformed government in
spectors.

Government Ownership Of Railroads
Not An Issue.

Mr.. Bryan makes it quite clear
that government ownership of rail-
ways should not be an issue in the
next presidential campaign. While
he doubts the power of the govern
mont to effectively regulate the rail
roads he freely admits that regula-
ton, if practicable, is far better than
pablo ownership. For that reason
Mr.: Bryan says, that regulation
must be tried under the most favor
orable circumstances before the
masses will be ready to try more
radical remedy"
Regulation cannot be sufficiently
tried within the next year, and there
is no desire anywhere to make gov
eminent ownership an issue in 1908,
Mr.. Bryan fully agrees with those
who believe that it would be unwise
to turn attention from regulation. on
which the people are ready to act, te
government ownership, upon which
the people are not ready to act. Tt
inject the government ownership
question into the next campaign
would simply give representative,
of the railroads chance to dodge
the issue Of regulation and deceive
the public"
