THE CAUSE.

The first causes of Indigestion, BIZ
liousness, Loss OF Appetite, Headache,
Dizziness. ETC., is constipation. Don't
take cathartics, as they irritate the
lining of the bowels, and are only a
temporary relief. DR.. Miles Nerve
and Liver Pills permanently cure by
strengthening the nerves of the sto-
mach and liver. They effect a mild,
natural movement.

Of the country in his days of ac,

telyou did for the Republicans.
We are not iustifying the use of
money in large amounts by either
party in campaigns, although some
money necessarily has to be put
up to pay the rent of campaign
headquarters, pay the expenses OF
printing and distributing campaign
literature, and in putting spell5ind-
ers on the road. Aside from the
money needed in paying the legiti-
mate expenses of campaigns, its
use should be condemned. The
national law prohibiting the con
tribut;ons hy corporations in elec

have recently been passed on the

production and distribution are
carried on, ibe consumer is cut off
from the su.'piy at hand, which is
controlled by private capital. After
n period of cessation in the aug
mentation of this supply it becomes
lowered again to point where
capital can undertake to increase
the volume of production "hgain,
and more people are thus enabled
to reach this supply, and times be-
come good again. a we'll known
socialist writer has likened this
situation to large tank holding
the water supply of the people and
controlled by private capital which
employees the people to fill it, and
for which service they are entitled
to certain part of what they put
in, while capital retains the rest in
the tank. After while the tank
becomes full and the work of pour
ing in must be stopped, not be-
cause the people do not need the
water, but because capital says
they can not have any more until
the supply in the tank is lowered
so that the consumer may be put
to work earning his water by fill
ing the tank slowly again. The
moral pointed at in this lesson is
that, if the people themselves own
cd the tank they could have all the
water they needed all the time,
with nothing more than the labor
of filing the tank, which would be
much less than they were perform
ing in filling it at the demand of
capitalism.

There is an omission in the Dem

makes itself most conspicuous by
it's absense. Since the present
financial troubles set IN we notice
they have suddenly and completely
guieted down upon their assertion
that Roosevelt WAS running the
government upon principles stolen
from the Democratic platform. If
times do not pick up before the
campaign of 1908 all those speeches
prepared by the Democratic spell

out that the prosperity of the

America Seventy Years Ago.

In 1881 the American people
were free, but they held in their
hands the land tools of slaves.
They had to labor and sweat in
the fields, with the crude imple-
ments that bad been produced by
ages of slavery, For two genera
tions the sickles, fails and wooden
plows with which they had tried
to build up prosperous republic
and had held back agricultural
progress. Let us try and recon
struct mentally the America of
;; those days.
Enterprise was not then a nation
al characteristic. The few men
who dared to suggest improve
ments were prosecuted as enemies
! of society. The first iron plows
we're said to poison the soil. Tie
first railroad was torn up. The
first telegraph wires were cut. The
first sewing machine was smashed
And the first man who sold coal ia
Philadelphia was chased from the
state as swinalcr.

Sea Will Dry Up.

With the final closure OF the Colo
rado river, the great Salton sink,
which was inundated as the result of
a poorly constructed headgate of an
irrigation canal and rapidly converted
into an inland sea, will gradually dry
up. Inasmuch as there are practically
no outlets for this vast body of water,
the sink must naturally evaporate to
dryness According to one opinion the
Salton sea will dry up In about eight
years.
