Hot Salt Water for Hot Weather.

Mrs Mckinley was taken III in Califor-

with drugs, her physician restored her TO

Medical Tyranny.
Y The Washington Herald:

Editor The Washington Herald:
Things have come to a pretty pass in
America when people have to form
leagues" to defend themselves and their
children against the medical tyranny
which IS assaultlng the helpless children
Of our land and planting a hybrid, morbid
virus in the life blood OF the rising gen
erationl People all over the country are
rising up against this nameless crime,
which Is slaughtering the little innocents
Of our land.
The following Is from An Appeal to
the People Of Pennsylvania" by T. j.
Stofflet
The inhabitants of Bangor, Pa, issue
this appeal TO the people of Pennsylvania
70 Join with them in restoring the prin-
clples Of civil liberty in this Common
wealth. which have been outraged by the
enforcement OF the compulsory vaccina-
ton laws
"On November 5 last one Of the bright
est and best Of children was vaccinated
in order 10 obtain admission 10 school.
Within seventeen days he was dead, after
suffering what no tongue can tell. The
poison was put into his little body, but
the doctors could not get II out.
The father. and mother of this victim
OF State-enfOrced blood poisoning have
one remaining child, little girl, who is
now OF school age. But a cruel law de-
nies the right OF education guaranteed
by our Constitution unless her already
grief-stricken parIlts again make a sac
Tifice to the MOloCh of vaccination.
DO the members Of the legislature,
who are responsible for the retention Of
the vaccination school law; the officials
who have enforced II, or the political
doctors who are prohting by II, imagine
that they have nothing 10 answer for
when such little innocents are slaughter
ed? How long will the pulpit and press
remain silent in the presence OF this great
wrong? How long will the courts permit
the arbitrary power OF n modern Herod
10 invade the homes of the refined and
nberty-loving people OF Pennsylvania 10
corrupt and destroy the purest and fair
est Of Gods creatures? How long will
the natural law and the Divine law be
ignored because Of the influence Of a
murderous superstition?
The attitude Of certain political doc
tors. who are members Of the Iegisla-
ture, IN presuming 10 dictate 10 more
than 5000 people in this Commonwealth
concerning their own flesh and blood, en-
couraged, as II has been, by the attempt
OF health officials 10 use the power and
patronage Of their Offices TO influence
the course Of legislation. we denounce as
being opposed to the spirit OF our insti-
tutions and an exercise OF arbitrary
power
The above sounds like the red American
blood had been stirred against this black
est crime against humanity, Those who
have been putting scars and scabs on de-
fenSeless little arms will have to suffer
the everlasting reproach and shame OF
their fellow-men! How long will the pub
lie sleep while the stencil of this horrible
outrage is rising to- high heaven. to re-
turn and consume the race with the
results OF its own folly2
What, l say, do you imagine Is going
on IN America, while an average of $500
children are slaughtered annually IN Lon
don from maladies initiated by the lancet
Of the vaccinator?

Effort to Gull Voters.

Editor The Washington Herald:
Harmony is tt.s keynote OF the most
recent remarks attributed TO Mr.. Bryan,
and this is an absolute necessity, If both
wings Of the Democracy are TO flap to-
gether and something be accomplished In
the way of real reform.
So insistent is Mr. Bryan upon this
needed harmony that II the press reports
from Lincoln are correct. he would be
more than willing, in fact delighted" 9"
to have as his yokemate in the Presiden-
tial race either George Gray, Woodrow
Wilson. or Judson Harmon.
Now this IS as It should be. and is not
in record with the traitor voters COM
muu'cation Of our good friend Andrew
Lipscomb published last Monday There
are quite enough Of those traitor voters
from Mr. Lipscomb's standpoint of course
to elect a President OF the United
States; and II Mr. Bryan is TO be Presl-
dent. he needs them. very much. indeed
and to call names Is sometimes offensive.
The country wants reform. real reform
something which will cause the price OF
meat 10 go down instead Of up, as Il has
been steadily doing ever since our friends
Neill and Reynolds went out 10 Chicago
and KILLED a chicken and made a fuss :"
In fact, perhaps the trouble is right there.
not In killing the chicken, but In making
the fuss
We have had four long years OF
vociferous. halcyon. and hysterical CAB
fest-with nothing doirg in the way OF
cheaper meat. We have had. also, eighty
one months OF steady knocking the Con-
eel -
with the emasculation Of the habeas
corpus In the Philippines. and ending
with a proposition that Congress take It
in hand 10 mind the constitutional bust
ness Of the individual States by enacting
a piece Of plain usurpation under the
name and style OF a national child-labOr
law
No wonder that Mr.. Bryan foresees
the need of harmony, or that Mr.. Cleve-
land a short time before his death told
US that the country needed rest.
Mr.. Bryan does not mean by harmony
a sacrifice Of principle, nor did Mr.
Cleveland mean by rest a halt in the
steady forward march Of genuine reform.
They both recognized not merely the fall
libility OF the human mind. but that
without harmony, there IS no hope OF
real reform, and that real reform is 20 be

not by sporadic and hysteTical CAB
tests
Now. the injunction plank of the Re
publican platform means an effort to gull
organized labor by another gabfest. no
more and no less; and II the Democrats
at Denver concede the full extent Of
labor's demands In this regard II will
mean nothing nearer to the lapse into
barbarism, spoken Of by Justice Brewer,
than a return by us in 1900 TO the prac-
tice OF the Roman praetors in B. c.

fact. that when the Federal government

ton prevailed in the North.
While II truthfully can be said that all
unbiased and fair-minded American citi-
zens. irrespective Of locality, are enl
deavoring to efface all sectional feeling
between the North and South, 1t is evil
dent that Mr. Swartwout Is not in this

II Mr., Swartwout and his Northern

which the armies Of Gems. Sherman and

That the Confederate soldier entertains

The fast mail was blowing over a gem

shut OF steam and applied the brakes.

round the curve and come toward his

At Chicago, in 1896, the unit rule having

The chairman, representing nineteen Of

he declined 10 vote, and that he was in

on behalf Of the minority that while the
majority might, under the above reSolu-

the whole delegation should refrain from

LOCAL PRODUCE MARKET
MARKET AFFECTED BY HIGH
WATER-cHlcKENS AND
EGGS ARE SCARCE

Since the recent rainy spell eggs
have become as scarce as hens
teeth, and chickens are scarce as
banana trees in the arctic zone. The
local produce dealers are doing aboGt
the same thing that the local ran
road me mare, sitting around drawTnl
their breath with hopes of being
able some day to draw their pay.
One OF the local produce dealers
stated this morning that within the
past two days the price of eggs has
advanced until at the present time
they are worth 10 cents per dozen
wholesale.
Although the rains have greatly de
creased the receipts of the local
market one concern has shipped ort
13O crates, containing $500 dozen.
Chickens cannot be had for love nor
money, especially the broiler and
spring sizes, and the farmer who
has chickens on his place of any size
may turn them into money and at
the end of the year will find out
that raising chickens as side issue
is paying proposition. Hens are
worth at the present time seven cents
per pound, wholesale.
Broilers and springs have been
scarce during the entire spring on
account of the lack of size and the
supply has never been equal to the
demand for this class of stuff.

PLANNING HawaIrs pefenses.

Mai. w W. Haan, coast artillery,
L. 5. A., I'm an address before the
Honolulu Chamber of Commerce, asks
the territory to recruit a coast guard
volunteer regiment OF not less than
500 men, to assist in handling the
heavy batteries to be established ON
the island of Oahu. The federal gov
enment, he said, would be able to
supply about half the force necessary
for the contemplated fortfcations
and in case of emergency would eN-
pect the territory to make up the de-
ficiency.
Major Haan, who is a member Of
the general staif, has been gathering
data with reference to fortifcations
needed to make the Island Of Oahu
imprcgnable. In the mountain dis
tricts he has been somewhat impedad
from lack Of accuracy OF the maps
available, and as a result viii ask that

OPPOSITION FADING AWAY
TO THE BOND ISSUE TO REPAIR
DAM-AlL WANT TO SEE
GREATER ARDMORE.

The opposition to the bond issue
that first came to the surface when
the issue was proposed seems to
be fading away and the people are
awakening to the Importance OF the
situation. Whether the work will be
done exactly to suit the voter or
not he realizes that the work needs
to be done and will not suffer the
risk that a delay would occasion.
Here are the ideas briefly expressed
Of few voters.

should be fixed.

II. T. Rutherford-There is so
much at stake that we cannot afford
to take any risk,
DR.. T. S Booth-Most assuredly,
