WHERE CIVILIZATION FArLs

More Lawless Persons Preying on sos
 ciety Than in GeneratiOn Past.
 Philadelphia Inquirer.
 Is is distressing that within the last year there have been more organIzed bands of Iawless persons proving up- on the lives and property of the pub lie than for a generation. It seems to argue that civilization In it's present status fails very materially to accom- plish the purposes oS modern govern ment which professes to guarantee life and property tc the law-abid-

In the South the same process Is being carried on by men who think that 12-cent cotton can be achieved by burning the atock of those who would sell at the market price.
 Doubtless these exhibitions are tenn porary. but they are none the less dis turbing. The worst of 1t is that many of these depredations are done at night in secret by men who in day light profess to be upright citizens. In the midst of an exciting political campaign 1t is we'll to stop a moment 70 consider what Is at the bottom of these troubles and possible remedy.
 The remedy is to be found In a gem eral appreciation of the fact that gov ernment is organized to do for society what individuals cannot and should not attempt on their own account. JIn- less there is wholesome respect for law and order, we shall go on the rocks.

NEBRASKA, KAN

REPUBLICANS IN THESE STATES

 Democratic National Committed ICopyright, 1908, by Tribune Company,
 Chicago.I
 Chicago, Oct. 1e.-(speciaL )-West- ern Starr, one of the most active Committee. returned to National head quarters at Chicago a day or two ago after an extended trip through Me- braska, Kansas, and Iowa. He re- ports those three States as absolutely safe for the Democratic ticket. Here are some of the figures upon which he bases his opinion:
 In Topeka are the shops of the santa Fe Railroad. They used to employ 5000 men, but after twelve years of complete Republican domination of the Government, after that complete prosperity which the Republican party is always going to give us after cleo tion," they are now employing only 2.s0o. This does not encourage the town.
 As to the 2,s0o now employed. a fore- man in the works said: Under or dinary circumstances there would be 2,000 Republicans and 300 Democrats. This year there will be 1000 Democrats and 300 Repu blicans. and how many of the Republicans will take the pains to go to the polls and vote is matter

 At Lawrence is the University of Kansas. Of course, comparatively few college students are old enough to vote, but as rule they reflect the political opinions of the father who stays at home and sends the money necessary to meet the cost of their edu- cation. This year there has been or ganized at the University of Kansas a srudents' Democratic club with 2s5 members-something never before known in that college, and which am inclined to believe is almost un- precedented in colleges of double its numerical size.
 These students are drawn from all parts of Kansas and to some extent from Nebraska, Iowa and Oklahoma. Their interest in the candidacy of MT Bryan evidently reflects the interest felt in the communities from which they come. It is a straw only. oi course. but 1t helps to show which way the wind is blowing.
 "In the southern tier of counties oi Kansas" said MT. Starr, there have been within a few years a serious number of bank failures, several sui- cides of bank officers due to their be- trayal of trusts and much suffering among the depositors. Mir. Bryan's plan for the guaranty of bank depos- itors has met with universal approval here. So much so that I believe 4 the dominant issue In determinatins the political action of the State.

In the larger towns of Iowa in' dustrial distress exists to an extent hardly paralleled since the dark dayI of 1893.

Where there is complete and perfect digestion there is. of course. no room for dyspepsia And it is for various reasons. more satisfactory to pre- vent dyspepsia than to attempt to cure it. Fact is, you must depend upon Nature for cure and Kodol assists Nature.
 Nature will cuTe a sick stomach quicker than any medicine in the world-if you give Nature . chance But Nature cannot cure the stomach while the stomach is overwUrked. That is i'm. possible.
 In order to be cured the stomach must rest. That is the point And that is what Kodol Is for ---to rest the stomach. It digests every particle of food for the stomach, 60 that the stomach has nothing to do but get well. Then fl gets we'll
 You would be surprised if you knew how many persons have indigestion. And, of course, most of them have dyspepsia. ultinaately-H they neg lect the indigestion. Then Nature Is in urgent need of assistance. And nervous dyspepsia is a terrible thing to those afflicted with it.

SOME TALK OF THE DAY.
Railway Accidents in Great BEitain

Railway Accidents in Great Brftain,
 The general report on railway accI- dents in the United kingdom for the year 1907 has been published as a blue book. In all. 1.It7 persons were killed and SSH injured by accidents due to the running of trains or the movement of railway vehicles as against the average for the previous ten years of 1,160 and e,7eS, respective ly. The outstanding feature of the re- port is the great increase in non fatal injuries, which has mainly occurred in the cases of accidents to railway serv- ants. This state of affairs is, however, in great measure due to the more reg ular reporting of non-fatai accidents to railway servants enforced by the order of the Board of Trade of De- cember, 1906, in which a more compre- hensive definition of disablement has been adopted. It Is also noted that the number of railway servants has in- creased by 10000 letween 1904 and 1907, and that a considerable num- Der of accidents occurring in goods sheds and warehouses previously re- turned as factory accidents have been included in the Board of Trade returns for the last year--London Spectator.

Judge Parker on the Stump.

The speech of Judge Alton B. Par ker Fat Baltimore is interesting and ed flying. Mir. Parker, when he was him self a candidate. remained quietly at home and emphasized the dignity which he believed compatible with the Atti- tude of aspirant. This year. as he Is not seeking any personal advantage or preferment, he has shown that he. can strike straight from the shoulder and deliver a campaign address as vigor- ously as any supposedly less sedate partisan. Judge Parker's Baltimore talk has more in 1t than appears at first glance. It shows beyond any doubt that Mir. Roosevelt has been less than candid in his efforts to infuse kerosene into the present campaign. IL tg known that the Standard oil Com pany contributed largely to the Roose- welt campaign fund, and. even though MT. Roosevelt ordered Mir Cortelyau to return it. the donation was lot return ed MT Cortelyou, as the records show, was never scolded for this dis- obedience. but was. instead given & nIace in MT Roosevelt's cabinet. Which poInt so clearly brought ut by Judge Parker is distinct addition to the Democratic campaign material. It Is to be hoped that the judge will Con tinue to appear on the stump.
