CATARRH A GERM DISEASE
Success Of Hyomei Guaranteed
by w l. GOkay

Catarrh is not blood disease, but 1t
is caused by germs that lodge and grow
in the air passages, causing irritation
with poisonous and offensive mucous
discharges. Ii Is an insidious disease
of most destructive tendency. It's APP
proaches are unalarming and its vic
tins are well on the road to chronic
state or to dread consumption before
they realize their danger.
Stomach dosing is ineffective in the
treatment of catarrh. The only heal.
ing agent is Hyomei, which is inhaled
with the air you breathe, killing all
catarrhal germs and driving them from
the system.
The sooner you use Hyomei the soon
err you will be free Of catarrh. w. l..
Gokay will sell you dollar outfit with
the understanding that If 1t does not
give satisfaction your money will be
refunded.

Hughes Right Policy. ="

Governor Hughes Washington's
Birthday speech at Chicago was i'm
pressive, both for its high but tenn
Perate spirit and for its crystal
clear presentation Of a sane and
stable national policy.
In the first place, it was an opti-
mistic utterance. I'VE take lust
pride" said the speaker, ein our
present enterprise and achieve
ments, but we may believe that the
commerce of the future viii as far
exceed that of the present as the
varied production, the vast extent
Of commercial exchanges, and the
means of communication of TODAY
transcend the hopes and even the
dreams of Washington. - To
support this confidence and to gain
these ends, we must have a settled
government policy. And it must be
a right policy"
What is this fright poHcy?" To
begin with, it must not be socialis-
tic The people do not propose to
pass through n dreadful quarter of
an hour of revolutionary changes to
satisfy themselves of those imper-
fectiOns of human nature of which
they are already well apprised. and
which make impossible the perma-
nent constitution Of society in &C
cordance with sociaIistic theory"
The recent upset, from which the
country has not yet recovered, was
severe enough; yet it was a gentle
movement compared with what
would surely ensue if socialistic
theories were to be injected into
the body polite. Therefore the
right policy" must be one "con-
sistent with our constitutional limi-
tations and distribution of powers. -
The common welfare must be the
supreme law, an5 to enforce this
law special interests must keen
their hands off the government in
city, State, and Nation.

advocacy of a complete, effective
and just supervision" of railroads

DEATH OF TWO MARINES
ACCIDENT, SAYS REPORT

Commander Fletcher, president Of the

drowning from a tug at Newport News

save his companion. Both sank before
aid could reach them.
A copy of this report has been sent

A Way to the Union Station.

Tote your grip to the Union Sta
ton with as much philosophy as
you can. Congress might very well
have provided street car access to
it without involving any other
issue. But universal transfers and
proper regulation having been cOu-
pied on, it is hard to see any way
out now, short of n direct settle
ment Of those two questions aa well,
Both delegations to the confer
ence will bear instructions to stand
firm-the Senate Tor a straight
trackage bill; the House for the two
provisions tied on. 1t is impossible
that both shall win. Every day
spent on disagreement will only de-
lay the convenience If street-car
approaches to the station. Why,
then, would not this be a good way
out2
Let the House yield on the uni
versal transfer clause of its bill; let
the Senate accept the House plan to
grant the District Commissioners
proper regulatory powers over the
street car companies.
If that should come to pass, the
District of Columbia would be well
satisfied. For it is not so much in
terested in lowering the cost of
street car transportation at the
Capital as in seeing the service i'm.
proved, and establishing an adequate
supervision over the several compa-
mics.

.DALZELL OPPOSES
TARIFF REVISION

Personally, do not believe that
there is any necessity for a general re-
vision of our tariff laws"
So Representative John Dalzeu Rep
Pa told the House today In a keynote
Republican political speech.
He is regarded as a specialist or the
tariff, whose advice has been followed
rcligilusly in the past by the RepubIi-
can party. The speech came partly as
"a reply to Representative Clark, VINO
said when Mr.. Dalzei declared for re-
vision downward he would believe the
party was in earnest.
Il believe, however" continued Dali
Zell that IL IS well 10 recognize the
claims OF those who think there should
be some revision, and I am inclined 10
believe that unless there should be a
change Of sentiment in the meantime
the Republican convention, when il
meets next June. will promise that the
subject shall be considered.
when revised. it will be revised in
strict accordance with the Republican
theory OF protection. so as to furnish
adequate protection to every American
industry and 10 the wage Of every
American workingman. II there are now
duties that are no longer needed for
protection, they VIII b. reduced or dis
pensed with. II there be places where
such protection as I have described does
not now exist, either by reason of the
absence Of duties, or by reason Of their
being too low; N the one case duties
will be added, and IN the other case
they will be increased. In other words.
the tariff Will be revised UP or down, as
may be necessary to make II really pro-
teetive."

ants of the people. So as servants
they must submit to regulation.
Public obligations as defined by law
should be enforced through some
such administrative board as the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
By providing sufficient administra-
tive means for investigation and for
publicity, needless or harmful agi-
tation would give way to an even,
consistent, and just enforcement Of
the law. Thus fair dealing would
be promoted and honorable enter
prise properly secured.
So, too, with regard to corpora
tons. To stop abuses complained
of, Mr. Hughes would first have the
law define and prescribe them un-
mistakably, and then he would have
the offenders adequately punished.
But by punishment he does not
means fines, for. as he shrewdly
says. fines are easily transferred TO
the public or to stockholders. He
would have the offenders put in Jail.
Thus the penalties would be just,
for they would fall upon those di-
rectly to blame for the abuses, and
not upon the innocent.
THE security of business" de-
clared the governor, depends upon
just and definite laws, and their i'm
partial enforcement" and IN this
utterance he summarized his fright
policy"
