Pure Maple


We are the largest buyers-so we are told
Of Vermont Maple Syrup. All our wheat is
cooked in it before it is faxed.
Our object is that incompatible flavor. To
make Mapl-Flale the most delicious-as it is
the most digestible-of all cereal foods.
Taste is of tremendous Importance.
With children for instance. The food that is
best for them often needs to be forced on them
But they beg for MaplFlake Was there ever
child who did not like maple sugar3
The more Mapl-Flake child eats the less it
will eat Of food not SO good.
Wheat is the perfect food. But wheat, in
most forms, is only partly digestib1e.
It consists largely Of starch. And starch, to
be digestible, must be made soluble. The par
ticles must be separated SO the digestive juices
can get to them.
That requires a process Of So hours, and
Mapl-Flahe alone employs it.
Our wheat is steam cooked for six hours;
then cured. Then faxed SO thin that the full
heat Of our ovens gets to each atom. Then the
flakes are toasted for 80 minutes in heat of
900 degrees.

PRODDING THE MAJORITY

Threatned with an all-night SEES
sion on account of the filibustering
tactics of the minority on Thursday,
Speaker Cannon became so angry that
he raped with his gavel hard enough
to throw it from his grasp. Finally
the Democrats were surrounded and
a vote obtained whereby an adjourn
ment was taken shortly after 10 p.
m.
Minority Leader Williams recently
threatened to filibuster in order to
make the Republican majority do
something. He carried out his threat,
but failed to compel the Republicans
to transact business.
1t is of course policy on the part
of the Democrats to force the Re-
publicans to enact reforms insisted
on by the people, and promised The
Republicans are holding back to
the best of their ability lest they
should offend some faction on the
eve of the campaign.
1t would really give the Republicans
an attack of heart disease to be held
up to the rack for a few hours every
day so that the country could see
their dilatory tactics. The Republi-
cans are good on promises, but some
how the majority cannot devise the
relief demanded by the people. Next
time" they will enact all the needed
legislation, but for this session to
do nothing is their play. If by any
chance one of the houses should pass
measures of Importance, the other
can be depended upon to kill them.
The Democrats will be doing to
the country service if they can force
the Republicans to act

Thomas w. Lawson
{ Washing ton Post.

Thomas w. Lawson, of Boston, has
publicly announced that he has given
up his fight against the System"
That term was first used by him to
designate certain gigantic combina-
tons of the business and financial
world which he charged with cor
porate abuses and which the powers
of the government were subsequently
called upon to investigate.
The people of the United States owe
a good deal to Tom Lawson He
might we'll be styled the evangel of
corporate reform When he began his
attacks on the System" in the sum-
mer of 1904, the country did not
know so much about combinations
in restraint of trade" and corporate
abuses" and "malefactOrs of great
wealth" as it does today The in
surance scandals came about through
his revelations, and it was undoubted-
ly his fearless, ringing voice which
first brought down the hue and cry
for legislative enactments upon the
heels of the trusts. His sincerity and
honesty were often questioned by the
enemies which his attacks made for
him, but the great mass of the public
has never doubted his high purposes,
his courage, and his character. He
ehas retained the confidence of the
people because the peoples govern
ment investigated his charges, and,
in most instances, substantiated
them.
Undoubtedly Mr. Lawson made some
mistakes. The best of men make
them, and this strong mans ardent
temperament was not the kind to
keep him always free from them. But
he was right more often than he was

FEW ARRESTS WITHOUT SALOONS

An eloquent story of the blessings
from the closing of the saloons in
Americas is told by the police sta
tistics for the first three months un-
der prohibition A total of II ar
rests was made during the period,
or an average of per month, all for
drunkenness.
While the exact figures are not at
hand for the same period of 1907, po-
lice officials say that the arrests were
lot less than 300, chiefly DRINKS. And
if there has been any difference in
the vigilance of the police in the
past three months it is toward an
even greater strictness in enforcing
the law against DRINKS.
This is a splendid record for Am
CIRCUS and recommends it as a de-
sirable residence city. One offender
a week for a city of 10000 is a
showing to be proud of
The only disappointment arising
from the closing of the saloons is
the loss of the license revenue. But
when it is considered that this tax
really came out of the consumer of
spirituous liquors, and that the same
money spent in legitimate lines of
trade yields a much larger per cent
for labor and materials, it is seen
that the consumers will spend their
money for that which benefits them,
instead of decreasing their power as
wealth producers, and thus add doub
ly to taxable values.
While the loss of the revenue at
the first of the year will cramp the
city for a time, the increase in bust
ness in other lines of industry will
soon make good the loss of the sa
loon license, and when that is done,
succeeding years will increase the
prosperity.
AS former members of the smile
club" get farther and farther away
from their old habits, the amount of
liquors consumed will be reduced, I'M
til the number of arrests will drop
to almost nothing, and the city bas-
tile will be one Of the lonesomest
spots in the whole city.

Gov Smith is not the party referred
to by the Hindoo bfahmin as the one
who made two blades of grass grow
where one grew before He came into
office at the behest of a happy and

thousands of railroad employees out of
a job, factories cutting down force or
working four days in the week as at

course he didn't do it all. That would

A suit to test the constitutionality
of the Georgia prohibition law has
been certified to by the court of ap-

The defendant was convicted and fined,
with changing sentence unless the
fine is paid. 1t is alleged that there
were Irregularities in the passage of
the bill sufficient to invalidate it. 1t
is said that practically the same points
have been passed on by the Federal
courts when Georgia brewers sought
to restrain the enforcement of the
law While it will be interesting to
have the seal of the states highest
court placed upon the law, the prohi-
bitionists are said not to be worried
