Kirby Gives Opinion.

Attorney General w. F. Kirby Tues
day gave out an opinion of statewide
interest to members of the Arkansas
National Guard. in which he holds the
members of the guard, although ex-
empt from the payment of road and
street tax, cannot withdraw their tax
money if they once pay 1t into the
tax fund.
Several cases have arisen in the
state where members Of the guard, who
probably did not know that they were
exempt from the payment of road or
street tax, paid their tax and then
later, upon learning that they were
exempt, attempted to withdraw the
money they had paid in According to
Nv. Kirby's opinion they cannot do
this, Mr.. Kirby holding that when
they pay their taxes they thereby
waive their RICH: to take advantage
of the exemption accorded them.

The Farmers Wife

Is very careful about her churn. She
ScaldS it thoroughly after using and gives
it a sun bath 10 Swectcn it. She knows
that if her churn is sour it will faint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach is
a churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro
cesScS which are almost exactly like the
churning of butter. Is it not apparent
then that if this slomach-churn is foul it
makes foul all which is put into it?
The evil Of a foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption of
the pure current Of blood and the di>sem-
nation of disease throughout the body.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
makes the sour and foul stomach sweet.
1t does for the stomach what the washing
and sun bath do for the churn-abSolutely
removes every taintng or corrupting ele-
ment. In this way it cures blotcheS,
pimpleS, cruptonS, scrofulouS swpllingS,
sores, or open eating ulcers and all
humorS or diseases arising from bad blood.
If you have bitter, nasty, foul taste in
your mouth. coated tongue. foul breath,
are weak and easily tired, feel depressed
and Respondent. have frequent headaches,
dizzy attacks. gnawing or distress in stom-
ach, constipatcd or irregular bowels, sour
or bitter riSngS after eating and poor
appetite, these symptoms, or any consider
able number of them. indicate that you are
suffering from biliousne>S, torpid or lazy
liver with the usual accompanying indi-
geStion, or dyspepsia and their attendant
arrangements.
The best agents known to medical sci
ence for the cure of the above symptoms
and conditions. as atteSted by the writings
of leading teachers and practitioners of
all the several schools of medical practice,
have been skillfully and tremendously
combined in DIR. Pierce'S Golden Medical
Discovery. That this is absolutely true
will be readily proven to your satisfaction

The New York Estimate.

The New York Herald, which poses
as independent but which Is Demo-
cratic rather than otherwise In this
Campaign, makes an estimate OF the
result in the Empire State next Tues
day which shows that Taft and Sher-
man will carry it by fully 100000 plur-
ality. The Herald goes on to explain
upon what this estimate is based ana
makes it plain that ii is not pure
bluff as are the claims given out by
Chairman Mack, "Fingy' Corners ana
Murphy, neither is it guess IN the
dark as are 80 many election estimates
and prophecies. 1t is based upon the
well established principle of statistics
that if a sufficiently large field Is COW
cred and an adequate number of sup
posed facts are included in the compu-
tation. the average result will be cor
rect even though not q single item
is upon this principle that careful and
honest poll of relatively small pro-
portion of the voters of IA state or
other political division is SO frequently
proved to be surprisingly accurate.
This Republican poll of New York stat"
apprars to have been of that sort. The
Intentions Of l4,C00 voters were secured
and these voters We're found in every
part of the state from Buffalo to Mon
tauk Point
III" New York Herald states that this
poll was taken by $1,000 Republican
workers. three canvassing in each OF
the 5000 election districts of the state.
THEY we're told to pick out 81 voters
in each district-men who voted four
years ago-and find out how many OF
them who cast their ballots for Parker
Tart this year. and how many who
voted for Roosevelt in 1904 are going
to vote this year for Bryan. In this
nan l,l. Il is said the intentions of the
lac, 00G voters was recorded. and by fig
uring on the present pretere nee OF the
li0, 900 as compared with their prefer
cncc four years ago. the conclusions
were reached. There are at least mil
lion and a half of voters in New York
state, and it of course remains to be
seen how nearly the 1900 voters We're
recorded, and by not infreuuently hap
pened in the past that such canNasses
have been indicated by the results,
and this canvass in New York state
appears to have been made on scale
sufficiently large to meet all tn" recoS-

Campaign Comment.
Bryan's Evident Insincerity.
(philadelphia Public LedgerD


Wholesale criticism Of his opponents
war chest comes with very bad grace
from d candidate who has no hesita-
ton in accepting aid from Tammany
Hall and from ex-senator Clark OF
Montana. If it is to be considered a
great national evil that corporations
and business men. who believe that the
stability Of commercial and Industrial
conditions viii be safeguarded by the
election Of Judge Taft. should con-
tribute to the campaign expenses Of
the Republican party, what is to be
said of the political morality of the
candidate who sees no faint in the
money of a man who was excluded
from the United states Senate for flag
rant misuse of money to secure his
electio nor in the $4,000 given by the
most VIGOROUSLY corrupt political orga-
niZation America has ever knoWn-pro-
vided only it be spent to further his
own election prospects?
Mr.. Bryans fault is not so much his
acco ptance Of assistance from these
sources as his transparent attempt to
make capital out of the campaign fund
of his opponents. He does not forget
the Scathing terms in which he has
himself characterized the depths of pc
litical degradation to which Tammany
has descended. but then neither do his
hearers. If he had the manliness and
courage to be consistent and to dis
sociate himself from those of his pres
ent hackers and supporters who repre-
sent The lowest phases of American po-
litical life. his criticisms might be in
order. But as matters stand his words
merely reveal his inSincerity

Of {: mans wares, be they goods or
labor. without interference" by the
courts. through an injunction.
The right to do business" in Mr.
Gompers'S opinion. must not be held to
be a 'property right" He tried to
get Congress to make this law. He
failed He turned to the national CON
ventions. He failed at Chicago in the
Republican convention. He succeeded
at d nv"r in the Democratic cOnven-
ton. Mr.. Bryan in his speeches here
and elsewhere stands by Mr.. Gompers' 5
view
Do you want to do business" Do
YOU want to sell what YOU have. labor
or goods. as you please? If YOU do
vote for Taft A vote for Bryan is a
vote for the view that your right to do
business when. where and how YOU
please is not an asset for the courts to
protect Your :rce labor. your cash,
your buildings. your little shop or big
store. Your goods-thcse. Mr.. Gomrers
