ernment, the executive, legislative and
Judicial, and the campaign recently
begun to control the rights of the
States and increase the powers Of the
federal government, in the regulation
and control, not alone Of the rail
roads, but of all products entering
into Interstate commerce.
Judge Parker sketched the cause Of
this demand-the rascality in corpo-
rate management uncloaked within
the last few years the remedy
proposed under the idea of centrali-
zation-"to substantially change the
form Of government of these United
States of America by the creation of
judicial commissions to deal with spe-
cial subjects; by the conferring upon
such commissions of legislative func-
tions through delegation of power
from Congress, and by then commit
ting to the executive the unrestricted
power Of appointment and removal of
their members.
"This," he continued, sis The act
ual substitution of another theory
of government. This is annulnent
of the underlying doctrines upon
which our existing government rests.
These powers are to be exercised then
by the executive to the exclusion of
the legislative and judicial by an ex-
pansion beyond its terms; by an ex-
pansion beyond its spirit; by an ex-
pansion beyond its purpose, Of the
language of the constitution.
"Someone has said, 'Oh, Liberty!
What crimes have been committed i'll
thy name!' We might say today, 'Oh,
commerce! What theories are sought
to be advanced under thy cloak!'
"That which has created the pub
lie agitation, so adroitly seized upon
as a cover for an attack ON the con-
stitution, was an underlying cause in
q totally different direction and call
ing for an entirel ydifferent cure The
rottenness which offends our nostrils
is bred Of an unholy alliance of ad-
ministration and favored interests.
Party success has been placed above
public duty.
"In the struggle for mastery i'll
both State and nation money has
been sought as we'll for illegitimute
uses as legitimate uses. AS the col
ruption of the electorate has widened
and deepened, the demand for money
has increased, demand which long
ago outgrew any sum that could be
raised by patriotic contributors. SO
corporations having favors IL ask
were invited to contribute, and they
did so knowing full well that, when
legislation was needed or undesirable
legislation was threatened, the head
Of the organization could be relied
upon for assistance; that his state
ment that this corporation contribut-
ed ten or one hundred thousand dol
lars to the compaign fund would
lock or unlock the door to leg

cial interests as possible within the

Judge Parker ridiculed the claim
that the federal government has been
more faithful in the discharge of it's
duties than have the State govern
ments.

Fight is on Ring Burton Declares.
Congressman Theodore e. Burton,
at Cleveland, issued this statement
concerning his campaign as candidate
for mayor against Tom L. johnson:
"An erroneous impression has gone
forth that the mayoralty campaign
here is to an exceptional extent COM
phcated with national politics. Such
is not the case. The aim Of the cam
paign in which I anu engaged is to
redeem the city Of Cleveland from
the administration of ring.
1.-The specious claim has been made
that the main desire of the present
administration is to give the people
OF Cleveland cheap street car fare.
nder cover of this slogan there has
been built up in the city of Cleveland
a tremendous political machine. Every
department. and agency of the city
government has been utilized to per-
petuate its powers. Favors have been
granted and bargains made wherever
political support could be obtained.
Il should have been extremely re-
luctant to have turned aside from ma
tlonal politics without the approval
of President Roosevelt and Secreta-
ries Taft and Garfield. Fer this rea-
son [ have communicated with each
of them. Their friendly advice has
come to me on nv solicitation, and
there has been no attempt at inter
ference -

THE ARTISTIC WALL.
One Of Solid Color Will Always Give
Best Effect.

The dearest, daintiest, most artistic
wall is solid COlored wall. 1t fur.
nlShes perfect background for all
kinds Of pictures, it throws them out
IN their correct proportions. and does
not detraCt from their artistic value.
The solid COlOred wall is also much
better as background for furniture.
and harmoniZes much more artistical-
ly with carpets and rugs than any
other method of wall treatment The
less breaking up Of color on wall
the more artistic it is
The most successful form OF the
solid coored wall is an alabastined
wall. There is as much difference be.
tween tinted walls, as there is be.
tween shoddy and all-wool gowns. The
shOddy gown holds its color for a few
days, while the Atwood keeps its color
to the very last thread, so also in solid
colored walls, there are shoddy walls
and permanently Colored walls which
retain their color down to the very
last particle. The ideal wall coating
never rubs off, never flakes nor chips
off and is always ready for a fresh
coat. If there is wallpaper on the
wall, soak it off with warm water,
then go over the plaster after you
have removed the paper with warm
water to remove every trace of paste.
Have the wall thoroughly clean for a
clean wall cannot be built on an I'm.
clean foundation If there are any
particles of foreign matter adhering
to the wall scrape them off with a
putty knife. Then if there are any
discolorations on the wall, size it with
a material made from cheap varnish,
thinned down with benzine and japan
added for a drier, then cover your
wall with your tinting material.
Be sure your man uses tinting ma.
terial mixed with cold water. If he
comes to you and asks for warm wa
ter, you can make up your mind that
there is glue in the material which he
proposes to pnt on your wall, and you
can be certain that you are going to
have a shoddy wall, for glue means
shoddy. Glue means that it will hold
its color long enough for the man to
collect his bill and not much longer
Insist on vOur tintinU material hain0
mixed with clear, cold water. Be sure
that your wall is made from pure ma
terials, then you will have a perma-
nent, artistic, sanitary wall. A wall
that will be thing of beauty and
10y forever"

Perfect Cure by Cuticura.

FOOLED THE PREACHER.
A Doctors Brother Thought Postum
Was Coffee.

A wise doctor found out coffee was
hurting him, so he quit drinking it.
He was so busy with his practice,
however, that his wife had to write
how he fooled his brother, a clergy
man, one day at dinner. She says:
Doctor found coffee was injuring
him and decided to give Postum a
trial, and we have used it now for
four years, with continued benefit. In
fact, he is now free from the long
train of ills that follow coffee drink.
ing.
ITO show how successful we are
in making Postum properly I will re-
late an incident. At a dinner we
gave, Doctor suggested we serve
Postum instead of ordinary coffee.
Doctors brother, a Clergyman, sup
posed it was old fashioned coffee and
remarked, as he called for his Sec
ond cup: If you do preach against
coffee, see you haven't forgotten how
to make it,"
This goes to show that well-made--
fully boiled-Postum has much the
flavor and richness of good coffee al
though it has an individuality all its
own. A ten days trial will prove that
1t has none of the poisonous effect Of
ordinary coffee, but will correct the
troubles caused by coffee. There's a

many thousand school children and
many family histories have been ex.

born children were found to be, as a
