NOT MUCH COMFORT.

The Democratic Comptroller Of the
State Of New York is reported as
having said at a reception to the
Democratic candidate for Governor:
@The President has always wanted
to dash out into the limelight for res
.cuing purposes. He rushed up San
Juan bill to save the United States
and he rushed to the Goyernofship
to save the State. He accepted the
yice-Presidency to save himself, and
for the past two weeks he has rushed
to the front to save his party"
As President Roosevelt met with
considerable success in those Of the
above-mentioned roles which belong

in any consolation for Bryan is dis
cernible in the flippant dtterances of
Comptroller Glynn.

Just as long as you have catarrh
your nose will itch, your breath will

you will do other disgusting things
because you can't help yourself. The
germs Of catarrh have got you in

nose and throat. They are now
making your life miserable; in time
they will sap your entire system Of its
energy its strength, its yigor and
vitality
If you do not kill the loathsome
germs Of catarrh, their desperate as-
saults will in time undermine your
reason, rob your brain Of its bril-

only physical but a mental wreck
This picture IS not overdrawn; the
writer has seen thousands Of just
such cases. He has personally ex-
perienced the demofalizing results
that come from the ravishing attacks
of the horrible catarrh germs, the
greatest pest Of civilized nations.
But there Is one remedy that will
kill the germs and cure catarrh, and
that is Hyomei, the Australian dry

remedies, but they are not guaranteed

brief editorial review of the decision,
disappearing it. The case was one in
which a fraternal insurance organiza-
ton was involved and the newspaper
Inexperienced the opinion of the
court. which was. in fact, almost the
reverse of that stated in the editorial
summary.
Complying with contempt order the
publishers set up the plea that the edi-
torial was based entirely upon misap-
prehension, that they had no idea of re-
fleeing upon the court and that they
did not desire to block the administra-
ton of justice. They were very sorry
indeed that the mistake had been made
and they promised that they would be
more careful in the future. The court.
however, refused to purge them of con-
tempt and adjudged them guilty.
The publishers were made acquainted
with the old principle that ignorance of
the law may not be set up as a justifi-
cation, and that carelessness and reck-
Iessness in the preparation of comment
upon a court opinion is capable of be-
ing as harmful in its effects as deliber-
ate and malicious misrepresentation.
"A newspaper" said the court, "as-
sumes the task of instructing the public
at its peril, and it is charged with the
duty of selecting not only honest. but
intelligent and competent writers and
agents. This mistake is calculated to
alarm all fraternal orders and discredit
the court, and it cannot be overlooked -
The publishers were not fined, though,
or sent to Jail. Instead they were ex-
cused on their promise to print the full
opinion of the court on their editorial
page. 1t seems to us that the court
was at least partly right 1t certainly
is the duty of the newspaper publisher
to select competent men in all depart
ments, but it is equally true that the
publisher. being only human, cannot tell
whether or not a man is competent un-
til after ne has given him fair trial.
We do not believe, however, that a
court has a right to cite a newspaper
publisher for contempt when he makes
a fair and honest criticism of a decis-
ion. If that could be done there would
be no such thing IS q free press in this
country. Criticism of the courts alons
rational lines must be permitted, for
the good of the courts themselves. And
If ,,,oU la ,-er,7a rLyod i'm conclusion tina

other judges. Even members of the su-
preme court have not always escaped

Then she breaks into lope for store
No. g. This plant, however, hasn't
anything that stocks up as well as the
Junk she saw at the other two places.
and she tells the clerk she won't de-
eide just yet.
And so on until she has been to ev-
cry store in town. Then. finding herself
not far from the first place she was in,
she decides to skip over there and get
that jardiniere the man showed her
there, before somebody else cops it out.
Yes. it's there-the one she was look
ing at-either the same one or another
just like it,

lay il aside. I haven't just decided
what 1 want yet"
And by that time she has to hurry
home to prepare dinner. Yes, that's
why it takes her so long to get her
shipping DONE You guessed il right off.
The man goes at it differently, espe-
cially if he is big stout man. He
doesn't make out any list of what he's
going TO get and therefore when he
goes into store he is unhampered 10y
the necessity of buying according TO the
form sheet. OF course, the man shop
per isn't out in full force yet. It's a
little early for him. But he'll begin
to pop into the stores toward the END
of this week.
The mans idea of the keen shopper
is the one who can get all his Christ
mas goods bought in the fewest posi-
bic number of stores in the minimum
amount of time. First it's him to the
toy department. Just at random, may
be, he runs across three or four toys

And then d'J ever take up the case
of the woman Christmas shopper and
the man Christmas shopper and just
sort of stand off and take note of the
difference in the way they set about
the job?
Now. the woman has been buster than
one lone pair of deuces for more'n a
month. The debris of the Thanksgiving
turkey wasn't in the clear until she sat
down at her little escritoire and COM
piled a list of just what she was going
to get for everybody. Ever since then
she's been busy amending that list and
checking off things as fast as she gets
them. and now with Christmas little
more than a week off she has more to
do than when she started out This is
because at the beginning every item on
hes list simply represented present
that she could go and buy at the lowest
cash figure 1t looked easy enough.
But now each item represents lists OF
doubts about that being just the thing
