owe find him first in Congress in
the second Administration of Mr..
Cleveland. member of the Ways and
Means Committee and most active in
formulating the provisions of the Cor
man Wilson tariff bill After five
months debate, it passed both houses
and came to peridy. 1t leveled the
industries of this country to the
ground. 1t threw out OF employment
millions of wage-earners. 1t destroyed
all business profit. Farm products
for a lack of market, fell to a point
never so low in forty years. Coxey's
Army marched from the West to
Washington to protest against Gov
eminent under which such things were
possible. This reference to Bryan
and Cleveland should be remembered.
The above is the way Mr. Taft tersely
tells the effect of democl attic free
trade.

tainly; it's the people who have been

Oil who are pessimists.
Taft, 80 Mr.. Roosevelt is quoted
as saying, will make our greatest
President, excepting Washington and
Lincoln" 1t appears that the cuIti-
walton of ex-Presidential modesty is
already under way.
No harmony predictions can be
based on the fact that Bryan is dis
posed to agree with Hearst about Jhs
republicans and that Taft is very much
inclined to indorse his estimate of the
Democrats.
The Independent Party has demon
strated that very small political or
ganization can stir up a great deal of
excitement.
So long as shady transactions are
being discussed it would be interest
ing tn know just how so many letters
are making their escape from the
Standard Oil archives.
Mr.. Bryan warns the American
people not to let anybody scare them.
The people are not scared, only little
suspicious
Mr.. Roosevelt has no hesitation
about talking behind mans back
when it comes to saying guood things
about Mr.. Taft.
Up to date the fireworks # the
campaign have been with Bryan. If
there are republicans vino are dubious
because they do not see any great up
rising for Taft throughout the country
they must remember that Bryan is
always elected in September. That
is TO say, he has most of the noise
with him at that time. IT subsidies
afterward, when the republicans get
down to real work.

STANDPATrTER rs ALL RIGHT.
Some of the democratic papers are
calling Gov. Davidson and those act
ing with him in The present campaign
"standpatters If the term IS used
in contradiction to free trade, it is
appropriate. A majority of the re-
publicans believe in radical revision
of the present Dingley tariff on pro-
t ,ctive lines and are opposed to the
Bryan idea Ut free trade. They can
not forget the calamity the democracy
brought upon the country when in
power in the nation by which the
shrinkage in all kinds of property ag-
gregated billions of dollars and the
farmers and laboring classes were the
grea test sufferers. Those who remem-
Der the conditions existing from 1892
to 1896 do not want either free trade
or Bryan, and will vote against both
next November.

WOULD BRYAN BE HARMLESS

WOULD BRYAN BE HARMLESS ?
Some persons say that if Bryan
were elected he could du no harm, for
the Republican Senate would tie his
hands, and the Senate is certain to be
Republican for foIr years more at
least, regardless of any mutations
which may come in the presidency or
the House of Representatives. Several
Democratic papers which opposed
Bryan not only for the nomination,
nut until long afterward, and which
now give him half-hesrted support,
justify their acceptance of his candid
acy on the theory that the Republican
Senate would make a cipher of him
if he should carry the country. Those
papers ought to understand that if
Bryan could do nothing in the presi-
dency except draw his pay this would
be pretty guod reason why he should
be kept out of the presidency,
Representative Burke of the Pitts
burg District, however, in speech
recently delivered in Salem, H., Bry-
ans birthplace, shows that this idea of
Bryan's harmlessnes is a mistake. He
points cut that the Executive Depart
ment of the government has much
greater power to rule Or ruin than has
the legislative. A man of fads and
crankeries, like Bryan, in the White
House could do much to cast dIscredit
on the government and to humiliate
the people. Moreover, under the
presidents direction che government
now expsnds about 81, 900, 900, 900 an
nually, and this would give him an
influence which, in the case of an un-
balanced person like the Democratic
candidate, would be likely to infilct
harm on the country.

Bryan is having his speeches canned
or preserved in photographic form.
He should not forget to have his 16 to
l speeches of 1896 and his anti-imperial
speeches of 1900 canned, that his
friends can secure records just to see
how foolish they will sound at the
present time and to convince them,
that Bryan is an uusaf. man to entrust
with national affairs.

body, giving life, health and strength,
all so essential to our existence.
Further than the above we cannot
trace; we know that the divine spark
of life is placed within our frail
bodies to operate through properly
prepared channels, giving life to what
would otherwise be clay. We know
that these prepared channels are the
brain, spinal cord and nerves, but we
can not conceive a physical origin of
this life power.
Granted that the brain, spinal cord
and nerves contain the principles OF
life, then does it not appeal to you
that if these channels through which
this life principle operates are kept
intact and in the condition that ma
ture demands that you will have
health as long as you have life and
further, that if you have any thing
wronC with your body machine, any
disease, that you must necessarily
have some interference with the opera
tion of this life principle. 1t is
reasonable. 1t is truth
The brain covers Itself by number
of bones so formed as to constitute a
dome of protection, called the skull; !;
the spinal cord incases itself with
hollow bones, twenty-five in number,
placed one upon the other forming the
spinal column. Twenty-four of these
bones, called vertebre. are so formed
that when placed in conjunction with
each other they form little round
openings on either side between every
two of the vertebre. When the
twenty-four vertebre are placed to
gether, fifty of these little openings
(foramina) are formed. Emanating
from these openings are the great
trunk nerves that ramify and abso-
lutely control every organ of the Wis
cera and every portion of the tissue.
1t is estimated that two million nerve
filamens are contained within cere'
bro-spina nerve trunk. Using thi:
as an estimate, we find that emanat
ing directly through the movable
openings Of the spine we have one
hundred million nerve tilaments. S,
complete is this system that if yol
r touch yourself with a pin you atfec
y numbers of nerve cells.
Each one of these nerve trunks
t have a specific function to perform; i
o supplies some form of life and vitalit
to that particular organ or portion o
h the body, and as long as this lif
channel is clear and unobstructed, tn

part controlled by it will be in perfect
health. Thus it will be seen that II
all the nerve channels in the body are
kent free and unobstructed perfect
health is the inevitable result.
Now trace these life channels and
find where any obstruction can be
placed upon them After doing this 1t
is clear that the only place where
nerves can be interfered with is in
the foundation upon which man is
built. backbone You ask why this is
the only place. Because in the
Spinal column is the only place where
these life channels pass through NOV
able openings, and necessarily this is
the only place where nerve stimuli
can be interfered with.
We have disease. 1t is a menifes-
tation of a cause and we have located
the place of the cause. Now inves-
tigate further and find specifically
how and why we have abnormal
function.
If the spinal column were made OF
solid bone it would cause us incon'
venience similar to riding in a vehicle
without springs; but nature has
wisely provided for this by placing
between the vertebre cushions called
intervertebrael br o cartilages.
These constitute one fourth of the
length OF the vertebral column anc

serve to relieve the severity of the
numerous falls, shocks, accidents,
etc, to which we are all accustomed,
but like the leather washers of a
buggy, through continuous use and
with lessened nerve stimuli, they
eventually become thin. When this
takes place the vertebre come closer
together, get partially out of arti-
culation and partially close the open
ings through which the nerves ema-
nate and place additional abnormal
pressure upon nerves, and abnormal
pressure upon nerves is the cause of
disease; and this pressure can be
brought and is brought about by dis
obedience of any of the laws of
nature.
You state you have had no fall or
accident; possibly true, although in
80 per cent of cases it is not, but yet
you have stomach trouble. The
cause of it is this: You have DISC
beyed natures laws, you have eaten
too much, too fast and too often.
You have constantly irritated the
peripheral endings of sensory nerves,
which in turn have retracted on motor
centers in the brain, thus causing
excessive muscular contraction, which
has caused a continual strain upon the
iigaments and muscles that hold the
verteora in place and pressure upon
Anadarko daily democrat. [volume] (Anadarko, Oklahoma) 1908-191?, 1908-11-24

the intervertebral fbro cartilages that
has in time thinned them and caused
the vertebrae to get farther out of
articulation, thus placing pressure
upon the stomach nerve aid you have
stomach trouble but when you c-use
this cartilage to be thinned and this
particular vertebrae to be displaced
you also pinch the nerve filaments,
which end in the eye-balls, throat and
front part of the head. This explains
the fact that when you eat something
that you should not, your eyes ache
and you hav, headache.
Falls, accidents of any description,
poison or baccili taken into the sys-
TEN, causing muscular contraction,
abnormal labor at childbirth, expos
ure, any way in which you disobey the
laws of health will place pressure
upon your nerves and cause you to
reap harvest of disease and sick
ness.
= Chiropractic adjustments remove the
cause of disease. They replace this
displaced vertebrae, forcibly stretch
the cartilage, thus giving nature the
opportunity of expanding, building and
thickening these cushions to their
normal conditions, thus removing per-
manently the chronic pressure of the
channels of life.
After all impediments have been
removed and the nerve filaments are
free and unobstructed from the brain
to their endings health is the newt
able result.
