mr. B. F. Campbell, Of 1924 West

his experience with Cooper: 4 have
been a victim of stomach trouble for
the past five years-stck and suffering
pain all the time. Everything | ate
distressed me. l have been under the
treatment of many physicians, and
have taken ali kinds of medicine, none
of which afforded me relief. | was
greatly discouraged, and was about
ready to give up, when Mr.. Cooper
came to this city to introduce his
preparations.
81 was skeptical, of course, after
spending so much money and taking
such large quantity of medicine, but,
like the drowning man, 1 was ready
to grab at straw, so l secured some
of Mr.. Cooper's New Discovery medi-
cine and began taking it. 1t seemed
to help right from the first dose l

TAFT AND THE OHIO PLATFORM.

Republicans of the Buckeye state held
great roundup convention, endorsing
enthusiastically and unanimously their
favored son, the Hon. William H. Taft.
The platform sounds the keynote for
the campaign in the United States. A
synopsis of the planks nailed to the
mast head will convey the thought and
purpose of republicans for the coming
battle. Briefly they are:
'In the nation we stand for those
ideals ofgovernment which mean just
ice, equity and fair dealing among men:
A brave and impartial enforcement
of the law.
Commercial and industrial liberty.
Individualism as against socialism.
Competition as against monopoly.
Government regulation as against
government ownership.
Promotion of the best interests of
labor and capital and the unfiinching
protection of both.
Compensation for injured employees
| of the government.
Re-enactment in constitutional form
of the employers liability act.
A limitation IN the exercise of the
power of injunction. in order to prevent
| its abuse.
A greater merchait marine and an
adequate navy.
Generous provision for the old SOL
diers, the vanishing forces of the re-
public.
Liberal appropriations for the i'm
provement of waterways and harbors.
The organization of all existing ma
tional public health agencies into a
single national health department.

One of the most terrible accidents
occurring in this country is recorded in
the inside pages of today's CENSOR
the burning of more than hundred and
half of school children near CLEVELAND,
Ohio. Can anything more dreadful be
imagined than the cruel taking off OF
the little boys and girls in five or six
grades of Viroqua schools? That i,
what happened in Ohio. This accident
should have the effect of a thorough
examination of every school building in
the land as to its egress passages.

GAMBLING IN COMMODITIES.

Whether grain and cotton growers
get, on the whole, better price for
their products because of their enor-
NOUS speculation in them has been de-
bated time out of mind, without any
conclusion. The argument is especially
lively just now when the general sub
ject of speculation is receiving much
attention.
There is no doubt as to what the far
mers themselves think upon the subject,
although that, of course, is not conclu-
sive. But it is quite obvious that, if
growers do get more because of the
gambling, then consumers pay more on
account of it.
First and last, lot OF money is made
out of this gambling. Otherwise it
woul not continue. Whether the bull
finally gets this money, or the bear, or
simply the broker, does not matter.
Whoever gets it does not earn penny
of it. He does not produce or transport
or distribute a bushel of grain or a
pound of cotton. He contributes abso-
lutely nothing to industry itself. He
merely sits outside and bets on it. So
the money that is made in speculation,
whatever the amount and whoever re-
ceives it, is just so much scooped out
of the wealth that the country produces,
with no return on the scoOper's part.
Pokerplaying, if sufficiently extensive,
might help the ivory trade; but that
world not justify it.-Ex

may arise for determination. We do
not believe in partisan courts and for
that reason have always advocated, as
