The story ofthe play has as its central
figure, Jim Hacker, the county chair
man, who dominates every scene with
his rugged presence. He is the past
master of all the ms and outs of
politics in his section. Incidentally
he helps in the development of the
pretty love story that prevades the
piece. AS the Hon. Jim Hacker, w.
M. Chatterton, has strong part, one
that is out of the ordinary, and his
characterization is said to be thor
oughly artistic. Another character

the injmitable Sassafras, the colored
voter, played capitally by Clint G.
Ford.

Quoting Edmund Burke's famous
statement that he did not know how to
draw up an Indictment against the
whole people, Col. Henry Watterson
in discussing the outcome of Tuesdays
battle of ballots says neither has he.
Then he proceeds to remark that the
result of the election shows conclu-
siveiy that great majority of the
people of the controlling section of the
Union are we'll content with things as
they are; that it is better to endure
the conceded short.com;ng of the par
ty in power than embark upon an
unknown sea of continuous agigation;
that Bryan meant this whilst Taft
meant rest; in short that dollar,
though tainted in hand, is worth a
bush full Of patriotic distractions.
"The id;osyncrasy of the time is
common. AS in the last century it
was liberty reaching out after institu-
tional freedom-and measurably at
tanning tit is now materialism
reaching out after markets. The ay-
erage voter of better education anu
intelligence takes no thought of the
hereafter and is even more Indifferent
to the heretofore. He is completely
engrossed by the present. That which
Bacon calls the wisdom of our an
cestors, ''makes as little appeal to his
reverence or reason as that which
Burns calls light from heaven
makes to his Imagination.

He either carries the fool of the vici-
mage with him, or else raises enough
dust to blind his eyes and disarm his
suffrage.
"'We need take no account here of
the agencies of organization and
corruption, though both may be seen
clearly enough. They show so plain
ly in the nomination. and election Of
the successful candidate as to make
it apparent that whole segmepts of
the people are no longer appalled, by
anything however immoral and wrong,
that does not touch their pockets.
Even those that preach the simple
life in the magazines of the East are
deaf to the drum taps of conscience.

.'That the Republican party cannot
compose the irresistible conflict be-
tween capital and labor is as certain
as that the old historic Democratic
party could not compose that between
freedom and slavery. But neither

themselves about that just yet. With
such men the rule is sufficient unto

"Just as, fifty years ago, little
more of moderation and a little less

equally battling to the craftsmanship

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is In Preserving Health and Beauty.
Costs Nothina To Try.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the safest and most efficient disinfect- ant and purifier in nature, but few req lize its value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose.
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better; 1t is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and im- purities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out Of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating on- ions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and im- proves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and emlnently safe cathartic.
 It absorbs tine injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; ir disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered wil- low charcoal, and other harmless anti septics in tablet form or rather in the form of large pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in Q much improved condition of the general health, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it is that TO possible harm can result from their continued use, but, on the contrary, great benefit
