The Third Term Menace.

While the leading Republican news
papers of the country are, as a rule,
opposed TO the denomination of Roose-
Welt by the Republican party, there APP
pears to be a systematic campaign go
ing on throughout the country in favor
of it. Evidences of that campaign are
cropping out in such papers as the
Washington Herald and the Atlanta
Georgian, and in reading matter furn-
ished by press bureaus and cor
respondents to many country papers.
The plan seems to DE to build up a
distinct Roosevelt party, something on
the order Of Mr.. Hearst's independence
League, which will be able to sandbag
the Republican national convention.
as Mr.. Hearst's League sandbagged
the New York Democratic State con-
vention last year. The promoters of
this scheme are proceeding by indirec-
ton. Their line of argument is illus
trated by the following extract from
an article in the Washington Herald
of June 26, written in reply to an edit
oriai of the Brooklyn Eagle:
"Mr. Roosevelt IS not engaged in
forcing his denomination. His atti-
tude is not &C all that of a candidate
for third term. He has not even
cOuntenanced a movement for his re-
nomination. There is really no such
movement, at any rate not in an or
ganized or tangible form. What exists
is sentiment, or belief, that the Presi-
dent ought to be renominated. What if
this sentiment should dominate the Re-
publican national convention; what if
the nomination, instead of being forced
by Roosevelt, should be forced upon
him? Would not such an eventuality
put the moral aspect Of the Presi-
dents election night declaration in an
entirely different light from that in
which the Eagle views it? The Eagle
has ignored the more probable con-
tingency for less probable if not
altogether impossible one. There is
vital distinction between the two"
Such talk as this is appearing con-
stantly in a class of papers which
have no claims to leadership in either
party. And it is true as the Brooklyn
Eagle says. that lit is probable the
President could force his own renomi-
nation. Nothing could save that from
being recognized as a forced process.
1t would be stigmatized as a violation
of his freely and solemnly pledged
word"

Winning By Justice.

The president has authorized Secre-
tary of State Root to notify the
Chinese ambassador that he viii recon-
mend the reduction,of the indemnity
agreed upon at the close of the boxer
trouble. The indemnity claimed y
the United States was S24, 44O, 900
and some six millions have been paid.
1t has been found that Sl1, 900, 900
will cover our loss and expense incurr-
cd, and the president will ask congress
to reduce the amount to the actual
loss incurred.
This is an act of justice which very
naturally impresses the Chinese with
our fairness and the Chinese embassa-
dor has, in eloquent words, expressed
his nations gratitude. Our nation
strengthens its position when it gives
evidence of its desire to do justice to
all IN its international dealings and the
president has made no mistake in
reaching the conclusion which has
been announced.
Some forty years ago our government
voluntarily reduced an indemnity which
Japan was paying and the japanese al
ways speak of it in extending a well
come to an American. AS nations col
lect indemnity by force it is the more
important that they should scrupulously
avoid anything like extortion. Our
nation sets splendid example in refus-
ing to accept more than the damages
actually suffered and time will demon
strate that from commercial stand
point as well as from the standpoint
of morals it pays for our government
to be just.

A Sinister Brand.

Mr.. Fairbanks ought to have known
better than to use just 20 Manhattan
cocktails on the occasion Of the Presi-
dents visit to Indianapolis. The num-
Der used suggests the forty thieves, :"
and the Manhattan brand suggests
wall Street thieves" If he had
ordered an odd number of good whisky
cocktails. he might have escaped the
wrath Of good Democrats, even though
his Methodist Republican brethren
kicked like steers. But as it is, he
has no sympathy from any quater ex-
cept Wall Street and Oyster Bay and
even the President may curse him
for mixing him up as one of the wine
bibbers.

The Power To Tax.

The reason why there is at present
so much popular feeling aaginst cor
porations in general is that the men
who manage those institutions make
use of public franchises, which are
really nothing but licenses to serve
the people, as means and instruments
OF oppression, extortion, and corrup-
ton, and convert their license to serve
into power to taxa power which
none but the government shuld possess
or exercise.

Official Smuggline.

There seems to be a compact be-
tween the Republican officials of the
United States Treasury and our naval
officers that if they smuggle and get
caught they will be let off by the pay
ment Of the tariff duty. but if they are
not caught there is no harm done. AS
long as the tariff that protects the
trusts is the law of the land, naval eff
GERS have no more right to evade paying
the tariff tax than the rest of us, and if
they persist in smuggling they should
pc punishd as the law directs.

The Scheme That Won't Work.

James J. Hill says that the credit
of the railroads has been ruined. Loss
of credit, of course, means that the
public has lost confidence in the
managers Of the railroad corporations /;
and for that result the Harrimans,
Schiffs, Cassatts, and others who have
been involved in the scandals of the
past two years are responsible.
No doubt, these men would be glad to
unload their waUered stock on tie Gov
eminent. But that scheme won't work.

Republican Peanut Reformers.

The Republican leaders of Massa-
chusetts sternly demand the abolition
of the tariff duty on peanuts. Thus is
the great protective system crumbliUg
through the peanut politics in its very
cradle. Give us free peanuts, and
tax all else as. the trusts may desire ~
say the Republicans. As to clothing,
wooden goods, rugs, chemicals, coal,
lumber, etc, let them all be taxed but
give us peanuts free of duty. Truly,
a Republican is peanut reformer.

Poetry WE a Sins In L.

On one occasion when William lam
iltOn Hayne was visiting Samuel Min
turn Peck at the latter's home in Tus-
kalOOsa the two poets strOlled into the
woods and paused to rest beneath the
shadows of the pines.
Here are your favOrite pines,
Hayne," said Peck. Lets dream a
few poems beneath them
The languid summer day had its eff
feet on them, and they were soon snor-
ing and dreaming away.
But suddenly both awOke and both
started down the home road at top
speed, shouting as they ran.
An army of yellow jackets had dis
covered them, and, not being partial
to poetry, had forcibly and feelingly
resented its intrusion on their domain
Later, at supper, Peck asked:
Did you make poem, HayneY
NO." was the meek reply. 81 made
a pOulticew
$50 did l." said Peck.

Has Troubles Of Its Own.

Congressman Burton, of Ohio, has
declared for tariff reform. In a speech
at Aurora, he said: Republicans
must give early attention to the re-
vision of the tariff. The time is al
ready ripe". He wants "freer access
to our markets ;" or, in other words,
freer trade. With Burton a free
trader and Knox a strict constructions
ist, it look as if the Republican pal ty
has troubles Of its own.

CUT THIS OUT AND SAVE 1T.

There is so much rheumatism here
in our neighborhood now that the fol-
lowing advice by an eminent au-
thority, who writes for readers of a
large eastern daily paper will be
highly appreciated by those who suf-
fer:
Get from any good pharmacy one
half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one ounce Compound Kargon, three
ounces of Compound Syrup Sarsapa-
rila. Shake these well in bottle
and take in teaspoonful doses after
each meal and at bedtime: also drink
plenty of good water.
1t is claimed that there are few vic
Tins of this dread and torturous dis
ease who will fail to find ready relief
in this simple home made mixture
and in most cases permanent cure
is the result.
This simple recipe is said to
strengthen and cleanse the elmina-
tive tissues of the Kidneys so that
they can filter and strain from the
blood and system the poisons, acids
and waste matter, which cause not
only Rheumatism but numerous 9TH
er diseases. Every man or woman
here who feels that their widneys are
not healthy and active, or who suf-
fers from any urinary trouble what
ever, should not hesitate to make UP
this mixture as it is certain to dc
much good and may save you from
much misery and suffering after
while.
Our home druggists say they will
either supply the ingredients or mix
the prescription ready to take if our
readers ask them.
