Champ Clark, the leather-lunged
souri,, deserves credit for introducing
a novelty in the campaigning line.
Champ is taking M chances with cam
paign t%reasurers or managers who may
be found to have pipe line connections
with any trust headquarters. He is
asking no help from spellbinders who
might get their elocutionary trolleys
crossed and OFFER some argument to

congress and he proposes to invest

Mr.. Clark will offer in each of the nine
counties of his district a series of FIVE
prizes to the young women who Sc

pledges to support him and his party
in the forthcoming election. The con-
test is open only to unmarried women
between the ages of 16 and 30-just

in each county is to be 500; the Sec

lowing pledge:

To make the pledge binding. each

That the tour of Judge Taft
through the western states is having
a marked effect in strengthening his
candidacy before the people is plainly
apparent from the enthusiastic recep-
tons accorded him at every point.
This is particularly true in Ne
braska, where his advent has proved a
stimulus all along the line, inspiring
every one who has come in contact
with the candidate with a thorough
appreciation of his strong personality.
Judge Taft's most striking charac-
t%eristic is his convincing earnestness
and manifest sincerity. Without pre-
tending to be endowed with great ora
as sensible men and women, appealing
to their judgment, with no attempt to
iniame their passions or prejudices,
and resting the case with them as a
best interests and prosperity of the
whole country.
Judge taft stands upon his own
record and with the record of the re-
publican party. Without claiming
perfection, he has nothing in his rec
ord to take back or apologize for,
which is in striking contrast with the
record of his particular opponent. who
is trying to make the people forget
all the democratic mis-steps and false
~prophesies of the last twelve years.
1t would be an insult to popular in
telligonce il such an appeal to solid,
sober thought, against the fake issues
and cure-all nostrums of the demo-
cratic candidate and his platform. did
not produce salutary results.

FIGHTING TIE ORIG HARIr

Public approval will be generously
accorded the resolutions adopted at the
national convention of the Wholesale
Druggists Association of America
pledging support to police efforts to
check the improper use of opium,
chloral, cocaine and like drugs.
The drug habit has not attained
dangerous proportions in the west, al
though the police records show the
number of users of opium and other
Notwithstanding narcotics is increas-
ing each year. In some of the larger
eastern cities, notably New York and
Philadelphia, the use of these drugs
has become so common as to be a real
menace Police attempt to suppress
their use have not been markedly sue
c~essful, as INSCRIPTIONS druggists and
physicians have made 1t easy for dope
"1ends'' to secure their favorite poi
son without much danger of detection.
Some manufacturers-who should be
in jail-have even gone to the extent
of putting nostrums on the market,
under DISCUSSES that make cocaine and
similar p~Olsons as easy to obtain as
matches. In the south the negroes
have become habitual users of these
insidious drugs, with a result that is
shown forcibly in the increase of
crimes, while in the big cities the drug
habit is increasing in spite of efforts
at repression.
The drug habit, it appears. can not be
cured by the victims. The dope fiend"
soon loses power to save himself and
the work of reclamation must be lone
by others. The Chinese have finally
awakened to this fact and are employ
ing most drastic measures to prevent
the use or sale of opium and like drugs
in the celestial kingdom, which has
been tottering under the load for 800
years. The action of the wholesale
druggists is a welcome step in the di-
rection of a moral crusade n one
that should be followed up by retail
druggists everywhere.

or 18th of July and some of the wheat
will then be threshed Immediately.
