Without song and laughter this
life would be but a dreary exist
ence at best. The book that will
cause US the most laughter is
the one most eagerly sought at
the counter, the comic supple

first sections looked for by every
member of the family, no matter
whether old or young. The fun

an odd story or a joke, is the
first considered amongst the in
vitations to reception or party.
Look where you will. you find
the humorist, the man who
smiles. is most loved, and why
not?-for his wit chases away our
troubles, even as the sun drives
forth the rain. Laughter acts
as salt that gives SAVIOR to life.
And so it is with the play. The
one that will amuse us most is
the one we most desire to see,
and just such one is ''The Irish
Senator" which comes to the
Washburn Opera House on Sat
urday March 21st. Every line

to create laughter, and every
actor in the cast, without excep-

Why Colds are Dangerous

Because you have contracted ordi-
nary colds and recovered from
them without treatment of auv
kind, don't for a moment imagine
that colds are not dangerous.
Everyone knows thar pneumonia
and chronic catarrh have their orr
gin IN a common cold. Consump-
ton IS not caused by cold but the
cold prepares the system for the
reception and development of the
germs that would not otherwise
have found Judgement. 1t is the
same with all infectious diseases.
Diphtheria, scarlet fever. measles
and whopping cough are much
more likely to be contracted when
the child has a cold. You will
see from this that more real danger
turks in cold than in any other
Of the common ailments. The ca
'iest and quickest way to cure
cold is to take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. The many re-
narkable cures effected by this pre-
'aration have made it a staple ar
lcle of trade over large part Of
he world. For sale by H. T.

question; he does not attempt, be

thing he said in the past; he mere
ly says he has charge of his own

when the proposition was put up
to him in regard to jury trials in
all cases ofcontempt for violence of
a court order not committed in the
presence OF a judge, he frankly
said; IT may be proper to sug-
gest such change; it may attract
the support and approval of those
who do not understand its real eff
feet; but so long as | have power

shall lift my voice in protest

hat he made any promises which
'ill hamper him in the least in

REPUBLICAN CONGRESS

1t is urgently necessary from the
standpoint of the public interest
to elect Mr. Taft and Republican
congress which will support him
and they seek election on plat
form which specifically pledges
the party alike III its executive and
legislative branches to continue
and develop the policies which
have been not merely successfully
carried through only by the hearty
cooperation of the president and
congress in both its branches. and
IT is therefore peculiarly important
that there should obtain such har-
nony between them. TO fail TO
elect Mr.. Taft would be calam, |
atty 10 the country; and it would
be folly, while electing him, A.
the same time to elect a congress
hostile to him, congress which
under the influence of partisan
leadership would be sure to {
1hwart and battle him on every
possible occasion. To elect Mr..
TAFT and at the same time to elect |
a congress pledged to support him $
IS the only way in which to perpet- y
uate the policy of the government t,
as now carried on. feel that all a
the aid that can be given to this a
policy by every good citizen should q

What Uncle Sam Spends for
Education.

We spend great deal of money
on our public schools. says Rheta
Childe Dorr, in the November De-
lineator. The budget in 1905 was
1888, 100000, and this increased
the next year to 1907, 765, $50.
For country as proud and as
prosperous as ours this is not too
much money. But, if it is not
educating anybody, it is a great
deal too much. Apparently, it is
not being made right use of, or
ut would be educating our chill
dren, all of them, except the small |
minority whose capacity for
learning is under the normal.
The money does not reach the
child for whom it was intended
Where does it go? The tax-pav-
