momentous and far-reaehing issue which

since that OF 1861.
Like unto IL is the second issue above

there came party perfidy and party dis

Two Paramount Issues. :"

Editor The Washington Herald:
1t is up to the South TO save the Demo-
cratic party from disruption by insisting
upon an unqualified reafirmance Of the
old-ume cardinal tenets Of the faith in
the platform TO be put forth in the com
ing convention.
We all know who the candidate viii
be-there is no room for doubt about
that; and the old line party men who
have twice rejected him are now pre-
pared 70 follow him. They Will not do
this in the dark, however, nor Will they
support Populo-Socialistic platform; and
demagogic paramounting" they will not
swallow
The conscience OF the American people
Is alive TO two. and TO only two para
mount issues in the coming Presidential
campaign and they are:
The preservation in our political
system Of dual government OF the prin-
ciple that the social and economic struc-
ture Of society in the American republic
appertains to the States and not to the
national government; and
The preservation Of the not less i'm
p0rtant principle that the constitutional
right Of taxation vested in the national
government is designed. primarily. for
the support OF that government and for
the common defense and general welfare
Of the political entity known as the
United States, which is, organicauy. we.
the people of the United States" Both
OF these paramount issues are plainly set
forth in the Constitution Itself; and both
Of them are being constantly and fla
grantly set at naught by the present ad-
ministration. The first of them is found
In article y Of the amendments. as fol-
lows. viz:
''The powers not delegated to the United
states by the Constitution, nor prohibited
by il TO the States, are reserved 70 the
States respectively or to the people"
Lest any doubt should remain as 10
the meaning of this provision of the or
ganic law Of the land, the Supreme Court
Of the United States but one year ago
construed il in the case of Kansas VS..
Colorado, setting the seal of its con-
demnatiOn upon an attempt of the ad-
ministration TO deprive the States. by
indirection. of their sovereign rights Of
ownership over their own public waters.
Here we find direct and emphatic con-
demnation OF practically all OF the politl-
cal preachments OF Theodore Roosevelt
of the proposed national child labor law.
fathered In the Senate by the distin-
guished, II eliminated, proposed chair
man OF the Republican national conven-
ton; and Of the steady, uniform, and
consistent efforts Of the chief exemplars
of the so-called strenuous life to sap
the vitality OF our political fabric in the
name and by virtue OF article l. section
8, paragraph Of the Constitution the
power Ito regulate commerce with for
eign nations, and among the several
States, and with the Indian tribes"
Here is a paramount" issue-with a
vengeance. How are the Democratic
party and the Democratic candidates go
ing to meet It? The people had a fair
chance to speak their mind upon II in

fruits OF victory were stolen, their voice

Curing Ills of Mankind.

Editor The Washington HeTuld:
Kindly permit me to say n word through
your enterprislng paper to our nations
great men who are to-day under treat
ment Of doctors for their ills From time
to time for several years 1 have insisted
that no man could hope TO regain his
health simply by taking medicine.
The patient has done something that
has caused his illness. If now he Ge-
mands Il cure Of his physician while he
continues to eat, drink, or do that which
produced his illness. he is acting foolish
ly. Il is the manner IN which the patient
has treated his body that has weakened
1t (made him sick). This fact should
startle the patient and arouse in him
dogged determination not to let faulty
digestion I'll his system with poison
for his blood TO feed upon, and then ask
a physician to cure him. If men knew
how to digest their food, they would not
have Indigestion.
Good health is based upon scientific
principles, and unless intelligent men en-
ploy a more intelligent way OF controlling
their health. they may expect to suffer
with the common thOughtless herd OF
mankind. who never dream that personal
sanitation has anything TO do with their
health. Good digestion and personal SAN
itatiOn do not require months to correct
or CONTROL hence no one should ever be
iii beyond a few days at any one time
There is a scientific relation between
the condition Of the individual and the
contents of his digestive system. whether
he be sick or well. drunk or sober. and
to this source we should look for the
polsons that sap health and wreck am
bition's dreams.
With an intelligent control Of digestion
and excretion, men OF great mind will

question. The powers are jealous Of each
other and only interfere I'm Macedonian
affairs 10 further their own interests
Their concern for the rights OF the minor
nations involved Is only a pretense
Hence they do not agree, and the reforms
cannot be adopted.
Each Of the powers has her particular
solution for the problem. and each has
her own outline OF reforms. which. OF
course, is rejected by the others. Their
disagreement Is political meat and drink

diplomatic comedy on one hand on the
other helps to create tragic events Of
riot and bloodshed for the suffering

The work for the great powers would
not be very difficult If they wished. i'm
partially, a righteous solution. BY one
European council they could. in common.
impose their decision and force Turkey
TO accept a right solution OF the question
for the satisfaction and benefit Of the
Inhabitants Of Macedonia and also OF
Turkey.

will fail. For Turkey, as II Is known,

Macedonia TO be tributary and subordi-
nate TO Turkey.

to Galveston a message was received at
the pier directing the Misses ZenIa Nc

A Plank for Political Platforms.

Editor The Washington Herald;
Permit me 10 suggest through your col
umns the following plank suitable for the
Democratic or Republican national plat
forms, which would recognize the reform
wave, but would declare cnly for a gov
ernment OF the people and State rights:
Loyalty TO government Of the people,
by the people. for the people" requires
that the people Of every State shall have
the opportunity to vote on the liquor
question. and also that Congress shall in
some way withdraw the Federal shield Of
interstate commerce from original pack
ages" Of intoxicants shipped 10 unlicensed
liquor dealers from outside OF the State,
and shall prohibit the issuing to such un-
licensed dealers of the Federal tax re-
ceipts. commonly regarded by the people,
and by some juries also. as a Federal
license. WILBUR p. CRAFTS.

IN THE SENATE.
Another Conference Is Ordered on the
Postoffice Bill.

Washington, May 22.-The open SEES
sion of the Senate was concluded to-
day with a lengthy debate on the pow
er Of Congress to regulate interstate
and foreign commerce and a negative
vote of % to 80 followed a motion to
adopt the Foraker substitute for the
Interstate Commerce Commission reso-
luton extending the time when the
penalty provision of the commodity
clause of the Hepburn railroad rate
law shall take effect. The Foraker
substitute provided that the prohibition
against railroads transporting across
state lines coal or other articles pro-
duced by them should apply only to
property acquired since the passage
of the Hepburn rate bill May 30. 1906.
The committee resolution applied to
all products without limitation of the
time of ownership. After the Substi-
tute was lost and before a vote on the
committee resolution could be called
for, Mr.. Aldrich moved that the SEN
ate go into executive session.
The omnibus claims bill was dis
cussed but it was displaced.
The disagreement of the House to
the conference report on the postof-
flee appropriation bill on account of
the Senate's provision for mail sub
sidy, was laid before the Senate and
another conference was ordered with
instructions that the amendment be
insisted upon.
