There is only one way to cure deaf

remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin

this tube is iuflamed you Rave a rum,
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the intiamma-
ton can be taken out aud the tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hear

cases out of ten are caused by eatarrh
which is nothing but an infiamed con

A Call.
To the Temperance Leaders of Boone
County:

To the Temperance Leaders of Boone
County:
We are again facing an election in
which we will be called upon to ex-
press our position upon the question
of license. With prosperous and
contented citizenship, there are no
reasons to fear a decreased majority
against the open saloon. Our ex.
perience as a dry county has been
eminently satisfactory, as we will
show before the campaign closes.
But there is danger that many of
our citizens will become so much alb
sorbed with other issues that they
will not give the question of temper
ance the consideration it should
have. We are facing, not not only
the question of local option in our
own county, but we will soon be
called upon to try the question of
State wide Prohibition. In order
that our people make no mistake in
voting upon these questions, they
should be properly presented and in-
diligently understood. Therefore
we call upon the Temperance leaders
all over the county to arrange for
Temperance rallies in every church
and school house where it is possible
to do So We stand ready to assist
in any way possible IN this work
We have a number OF speakers who
are ready to 90 to any part of the
county where thev are needed to as
sist in this work. Arrange your
rallies, and write us at once if you
need any assistance, We hope to
hear from each township committee
Now is the time to act. Our ltera-
ture will soon be ready for distribu-
ton, and we hope to have the coop
Grafton of every temperance worker
in this matter.

The Harrison times. (Harrison, Boone Co., Ark) 1876-1938, 1908-08-08

THE growth of prohibition senti-
ment in America in the last two
wears is most remarkable. Eight
million six hundred thousand people
abolished the saloon during the
last year. There are twenty-seven
millions of people who already live
in other prohibition territory, max
ing the sum total Of forty.hve per
cent Of the entire population of the
United States free from the blighting
influence of the saloon. Twenty out
Of tLirty-four Legislatures that were
in session last year passed laws I'M
favorable to the liquor traffic, while
not a legislature has been in session
this present year that has not had
one more temperance bills before it,.
The Harrison times. (Harrison, Boone Co., Ark) 1876-1938, 1908-08-08

MORALLY the liquor traffic has
always been wrong, always been a
curse to the individual, his prosper
ity, his happiness, and to the safety
of the home, But now that it is be-
coming factor in the laws of the
nation as something to be dealt
with, not as a means of revenue but
as a menace to the welfare of the
nation, we may hope that the day
will soon dawn, when it shall be not
only illegal to sell intoxicating drink,
but also to manufacture it.

MOVEMENTS on the great railroad
checker-boards of the stock market
this week which eliminate George J.
Gould from the galaxy of railroad
magnates, likely for all time to
come, point a moral as to the
ephemeral character of even the
greatest fortunes. At his death lay
Gould earned the contempt of the
American people by tying up his great
wealth so that only his children
might be benefited by it, and that its
very existence was a burden to the
toilers of the nation, and yet within
a few years we find this great for.
tune dissipated by the speculative
conditions which created it.

NORTH Arkansas in general, and
Harrison in particular, needs factor
les of any and every sort. The
growth Of population incidental to
the establishment of large labor EN-
ploying concerns, the addition to the
taxable values of the community,
the increase in real estate and rental
values, should lead our wide-awake
citizens to some effort toward secur-
ing them.

thority of the court-that is low

Democracy Aggressive.

The Democrats are more agrees
i've in this campaign than they have
been at any time since IN 1898.
Furthermore the party is as thor
oughly united, determined, and har-
monious as it was in that famous
campaign which resulted in a great
Democratic land slide, Mr.. Bryan
has shown great political sagaeity
in choosing an Eastern man MIR Nor
man E Mack of Buffalo who is
thoroughly identified with the old
Cleveland wing of the party, to
manage his campain and, who at
the same time is devoted and loyal
follower of the eloquent Nebraskan,
1t is evident that the Democrats
are going to assault and storm the
Republican breast works all along
the line. While Mr.. Roosevelt has
been a popular and patriotic presi'
dent, they point to the fact that the
Republican party at heart is as bit
terly opposed TO him as it is to
Bryan. In fact the Republican
party is so thoroughly welded to
the trusts and corporate interests,
and to the interests of what Mr..
Roosevelt calls the wealthy male,
factors" that Mr., Roosevelt has
been utterly unable to accomplish
any good for the country. The
great Standard Oil fine OF 29,OO0,,
600 has been set aside by STANDARD
Oil Republican Judges and thus de
prived the Republicans of the only
legitimate evidence of real results
yet accomplished by the Roosevelt
administration. In fact the Repub
licans in this campaign cannot point
to single item of relief that has
been afforded the people as the
result of the Republican administra-
ton Furthermore they point to
the fact that all of the policies Of
Mr. Roosevelt that have excited
such tremendous popularity and
approval were promulgated by Mr..
Bryan long before Mr.. Roosevelt
ever thought of them. Mr. Roose.
welt has gained popularity only by
carrying out Mr., Bryan's principles
which were not only preached by
Mr. Bryan but have been incorpor.
ated in Democratic platforms as
well, and are absent from the Re.
publican platform, In other words
if the people want relief they must
look to the Democrats and not to
the Republicans.
