The Republican party as represented
In Congress has passed currency bill
that will eventually plague them All
the Democrats and fourteen Republic
ans voted against 1t in the House, and
Senator LaFollette tried to talk 1t to
death In the Senate where four Repub-
lican senators also voted against 1t. 1t
must be very bad bill that would
force such large number Of Repub-
licans to bolt their party on the eve Of
national election. 1t is a great vic
tory for the Rockefeller interests and
the chief feature Of 1t which was in the
original Aldrich bill-the issue of cur
rency with railroad and other bonds as
security-by individual banks will give
the National City Bank control of mil
lions to further rig the stock market.
Such bonds are to be accepted at 90
per cent Of their market value and we
may be sure that the price Of such
bonds will be boosted accordingly, what
ever their real value may be.
The asset, or wildcat currency scheme
Of the bill is intended as sop to the
asset school of finance, and commercial
paper is to be accepted as security for
currency at rs per cent Of Its face
value. The attempt to make the bill
popular by the requirement that the
banks pay one per cent on government
deposits is made harmless to the big
banks which are government deposi-
tories for they are not required to pay
even this small interest fate.
How vicious the bill is will take time
to develop for even the experts Of the
United States Treasury do not yet know
Its full powers. The New York banks
are organizing to be ready to issue
currency under its provisions, and from
their haste to do so, there is fear that
recurrence Of the panic is possible.
It must be remembered that the United
States Treasury is In no condition to
assist the banks, when the annual
squeeze for money comes this fall.
What financial mess the Republican
party has produced by Its tinkering
methods.

An attack of gladstone collie In its
everest form is one of the most painful
affections which humanity is ever call
ed upon, to endure Fortunately 1t ID
not very common affection. and 1t Is
not always so painful, but one never
knows when 1t may become so; hence
the occurrence of one attack, however
mild, Is adanger signal which the suf-
ferer will do well to heed.
The pain Is due to the passage Of a
gladstone through the bile duct toward
the intestine, and varies from mere dis
comfort to intense agony, according to
the size Of the stone. The pain usually
begins suddenly, when the stone enters
the duct leading from the gall bladder
to the intestine. and ceases with equal
suddenness when the Offending body
drops out Of the bile duct into the In
testine The pain is sharp, usually con-
tinuous, but occasionally intermittent
and may last from a few hours to sew
eral days.
II the attack continues long time
It Is accompanied by vomiting and signs
Of collapse pinched features. cold,
rlammy sweat, extreme restlessness, pal
lor or blueness Of the skin, hiccough,
rapid and feeble pulse and chills. Jaun-
dice Is not uncommon, but Is not always
present. There may be only one attack,
but as a rule there is a succession Of
them, some mild, others severe. The
treatment Is therefore twofold-relief
Of the immediate pain and prevention
Of future attacks.
The sufferer should keep as quiet as
possible, lying on the back with hips
elevated. Sometimes q arm bandage
encircllng the abdomen affords great re-
lief. The patient should take no food,
not even milk, as long as the attack
lasts. Fasting even for two or three
days will do no harm. The popular
fear of loss Of strength from starvation.
In such cases is groundless.
Water. preferably hot, may bs taken,
unless, as sometimes happens, 1t Id.
creases the pain. Olive oil In generous
amount often seems to give relief and
shorten the attack, although the belief
that 1t dissolves the gail-stones Is prob
ably erroneous. II simple remedies do
not bring relief. more powerful ones,
Or even surgical operation, may be
necessary.
After the stone has passed, treatment
should be Instituted to prevent return

chiefly on fruits, fresh vegetables, and
a moderate amount Of farinaceou
foods. avoiding meat, especially fat
meat, and highly seasoned foods Of ali
kinds
A course Of treatment by such min
eral waters as vichy or Carlsbad IL

else in the open air will assist greatly
in the treatment.

American Democracy.

8
In view Of the record of the Roose-
velt administration and the Republican
majority att the last session OF Con-
gress, the Democrats OF the country
have reason to rejoice at the POSSIBLE
lily, II not the probability, of returning
to the control of the Government Of the
United States.
I Never was there a time In our ma
tional history when practical appli-
cation Of the principles OF the Demo-
cratic party was more obviously or
urgently needed for the reformation Of
abuses. And since a frequent recur-
renee to first principles is of the high
est Importance we purpose to furnish
q series of short articles reviewing the
principles Of Democracy. For, unfor-
tunately, there was never q time when
there were 30 many men calling them
selves Democrats, who seemed to know
30 little Of them, and to be 80 at vari-
ance with them, as there are to-day.
There are two great characters
whose writings have been regarded as
expressing the fundamental doctrines
Of the Democratic party-James Madi-
son, the Father Of the Constitution,
and Thomas Jefferson, the author Of
the Declaration of independence. No
act or policy conflicting with the doc
trines on which these two men were
agreed can fairly be called Democratic,
a. that term is understood in American
politics. Nor can any man whose con-
duct In public life fails to conform to
such doctrines, be. with propriety,
called Democrat.
MADIsoN's THEORY.
In 1850, Madison addressed the Gen.
eral Assembly of Virginia memorial
and remonstrance, in the course Of
which he laid down the first principles
Of free government thusl
"All men are to be considered as en-
Stering into society on equal conditions,
as relinquishing no more. and, there
fore, retaining no less, one than an
other, or their natural rights.

the team part way to Walla Walla, the
