The Pure Food Law.

Secretary Wilson says, zone of the
objects Of the law is to inform the
consumer Of the presence of certain
harmful drugs in medicines" The
law requires that the amount Of
chloroform, opium, morphine, and
other habit forming drugs be stated
on the label of each bottle. The
manufacturers of Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy have always claimed
that their remedy did not contain
any Of these drugs, and the truth of
this claim is now fully proven, as no
mention of them is made on the label.
This remedy is not only one of the
safest, but one of the best in use for
coughs and colds. It's value has
been proved beyond question during
the many years it has been in general
use. For sale by Evans Drug Co.

otherwise the people would put their
money in national banks instead of
state banks, and Furthermore, the
state banks could share in the ma
tional guaranty by putting them
selves on equal footing with national
banks.
This plan would not prevent any
private individuals from loaning
their money to anybody they wanted
to, at whatever hazard they wished
to risk. Stock gamblers could get
their money from private people if
the private people would let them
have it, but they could not get the
peoples money, deposited in banks
and gamble with that" Buyers Of
stocks, however, could borrow money
on legitimate stock Investments, just
the same as merchant could borrow
money on his merchandise or a farm
er could borrow money on his farm.
Postal Banks.
This plan is better than our hav-
ing postal savings banks, because the
people and business men would have
greater use of the volume of money
if it were m banks where private in
dividuals who owned the national
banks could loan money on legiti-
mate enterprises.
The postal banks would have to
deposit their money in other banks
and then we would have all the dan
gers that we now have, and while
the postal bank plan would be some
improvement upon our present plan
it would not be as good as the plan
of the governments guaranteeing all
depositors in national banks against
loss.
Emergency Asset Currency.
This kind of money would mean
simply this: That the banks could
issue money upon their assets, buy
more assets with this money and is
sue more money and on given
amount of capital make their liza
bilities so great that when the top
heavy top quit spinning it would fall
over and smash to pieces.
There is just as much money in the
country as there was six months ago
and yet all business is tied up and
scarcely man in America is not
suffering loss 1lsnt now; and
everybody under our present bank
ing system will keep on being in dan
ger of having a panic come any time
that few financiers may say so.
I believe Mr.. Bryan's plan to be
sane. easy, quick solution of the
present money problem and believe,
as business man, that if his plan is
put to work it will be kept at work
and that America will never again
feel another panic.-Charles N.
Crewdson, in Bryan's Commoner.

FOR TAXATION.
County Assessors will Meet at Seat
tie to Arrange Plan with the State
Tax Commission, To Meet Feb
ruary Fl. All Property to be As.
SeSSed at GO Per Cent.

SEATTLE, Jan. 1.-THE meeting of the
County Assessors Association of the
etate at North Yakima had an importan,
result in the understanding arrived al
between the assessors and the state tax
commission, by the terms OF which every
county containing timb will, as soon at
possible, begin q cruise of all standing
timber in the counties for assessment
purposes. 1t is stated that nearly al
the timber counties fell in readily with
the proposition. and that only two o,
three counties dissented. To the repre-
sentatives of the counties the state tax
commission gave warning that if thei,
timber was not cruised their assessments
would be raised by the commission tc
the level OF other counties.
Preliminary to the work. Presiden,
Thomas A. Parish, Of the association
has called a sub.convention OF the as.
eessors to meet at Seattle, in the county
assessors office, February 2l. at 8 q. m.
at which the assessors OF every timber
county in the state is expected to be
present. The general plan and methods
for making public cruise will then be
taken up.
She sub.convention will have the fol.
lowing membership: 7. A. Parish, King
county; H. H. Carter. Chehalis; L. D.

County Assessor Parish returned yes
terday from the session OF the state
association at North Yakima, and in
speaking of the meeting, said: ut was
the most interesting and instructive
session the association ever held, thirty.
three of the thirty-seven counties of the
state being represented, and all present
animated with the desire to improve
their services to the people of the state.
Three members OF the state tax commits
sion were present and contributed much
to the success OF the convention. We
were in session four days. and the pro.
ceedings we're harmonious throughout.
All the assessors were greatly interested
in the timber cruise of King county, and
its success had a great deal to do with
the decision to cruise all tim Der counties.
"The resolution adopted to assess uni
formly throughout the state all taxable
property on the basis OF go per cent. ol
its market v-ue will lead to a greatly
increased state valuation, and to much
more equitable distribution of values
among the tax payers OF the several
counties. resulting in decreased tax
rate"

SCORES POLICY
OF ROOSEVELT
ATTITUDE TOWARD JUDICIARY
CONDEMNED
Head of Supreme Court of Keystone
State Does Not Mention Presi-
dents Name, but Meaning
Is Clear

NJ EW YORK, Dec. 12.-Indirect but
pointed criticism of RooseVelts S
- attitude toward the judiciary was
made by Chief Justice Mitchell of
Pennsylvania in an address tonight al
the banquet of the Pennsylvania soc1-
ETY. of New York.
The chief justice did not mention the
executive by name, but left no doubt
through his quotations and his allu-
sions to various matters of pubic
knowledge as to the object of his criti-
cism.
The courts, the bar and the laws of
states were discussed from various
viewpoints by the speakers, who, be
sides Justice Mitchell were Attorney
General aparte, James M. Beck and
Hampton l.. Carson.
Chief Justice Mitchell expressed re-
gret that an effort was making to
weaken the lines of distinction so adj
mirabIy defined in the federal constitu-
ton.
For the cure of evils temporarily
prominent it is impatiently advocated
that the combined powers of the gov
ernment be centralized in the eXecu-
tive" he said. THE only safety for
all is obedience to law as ii is written,
rot to a. strained and distorted con-
struction to make it mean what it does
not and never was intended to mean.
but honestly and fearlessly to carry
out the real meaning of its makers.
1.-The only just criticism of judge S
law must come from d court which
knows the law and has jurisdiction to
declare it. Dissent from his view based
on individual opinion of what the law
ought to be, whether it comes from an
executive or hoodlum, leads directly
and by short steps to anarchy-the as
sertion of individual will against the
settled law.
1.-THE very phrases so prominently
put forward of Judges who have Jagged
behind the lines, and Judges who mold
to a twentieth century economic phil
osophy,' betray not only ignorance but
q deplorable incapacity to comprehend
the fundamental principles of the
American government.
IF the law as declared by the con-
stitutional tribunal is not what the
people want it to be, then let it be
changed; but let 1t never be lost sight
of that the authority to change it is
legislative, not judicial, still less ex-
ecutive."

TAFT TO VISIT
PANAMA ZONE
ROOSEVELT AND ROOT AP-
PROVE HIS PLANS
Talks with Aldrich and Hale Cause
Next Chief Executive to Think
They Will Support His
Tariff Policy

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-President-
elect Taft contemplates a visit to
Panama before his Inauguration. This
visit is approved by President hooseNelI
and Secretary Root.
While it has not been finally deter
mined upon, Mr.. Taft announced today
that it was his inclination to go. Should
this be his final decision he will depart
the last week in January for trip
which will cover approximately twenty
days.
The news of this trip followed con-
ference last night with President
Roosevelt, and today again at the White
House and later with Secretary Root.
Further details of today's conference
were not made known beyond the state
lnent by Mr. Taft that the selection Of
mis- cabinet was thoroughly discussed.
Mr.. Taft said tonight that the inter-
views he had had yesterday and today
with Senator Aldrich and Senator Hale
had led him to believe that the atti-
tude of these two leaders in the senate
respecting tariff revision was decidedly
favorable to the kind of a tariff he mas
been advocating.
A conference with Senator Crane of
Massachusetts also confirmed this view.
Chairman Frank II. Hitchcock, who
came to Washington today from New
York, saw Mr.. Taft tonight. The Cuban
situation was discussed thoroughly at a
conference with Governor Magoon and
Secretary Wright and Gen. Clarence r.
Edwards of the insular bureau talked
with Mr.. Taft about departmental and
Philippine matters.
Senator Bourne of Oregon, Bishop
O'Gorman of Sioux Falls. S. D.; Secre-
tary Garfield and Representatives Mar
tin of South Dakota and Needham of
California also talked with Mr. Taft.
Mr.. Taft planned to leave Washing
ton at midnight for New York, follow
ing the dinner of the Gridiron club.
There he will be the guest of his
brother, Henry w. Taft, until Thurs
day, when he will go to Augusta, Ga,
for several weeks.
