Cuticura Proved Invaluable,


"My brother had eczema three different
Each summer it came out be-
tween his shoulders and down his back,
and he said his suffering was terrible.
When it came on the third summer, he
bought a box Of Cuticura Ointment and
gave it a faithful trial. Soon he began to
feel better and he cured himself entirely
of eczema with Cuticura. A lady in In
diana heard of how my daughter, Mrs.
Miller, had cured her little son of terrible
eczema by the Cuticura Remedies. This
lady's little one had the eczema so badly
that they thought they would lose it. She
used Cuticura Remedies and they cured her
child entirely, and the disease never came

he is blessed Of God in his ministry
according to his faithfulness. There
are no special promises for the pro-
found, the learned and the brilliant
John did no miracle"-but there
are innumerable promises for the
faithful.
John stood for truth. He said
that Christ would thoroughly purge
His floor, that He would baptize with
the Holy Spirit and that He could
take away the sin of the world, and
1t all came to pass as he said. The
heroic prophet on the river bank
neve compromised in matters Of
principle. He was the same loyal
minister in Herod's palace as before
admiring crowds; he vas the same
devout, disciple in the Tower Of An
tonia as he was in the wilderness.
Carlyle has said that ITO teach re-
ligion, the first things needed and
also the last and only thing is find
ing Of a man who has religion
a man who has strength OF character
enough to stand for truth and right
~eousness.
Johns greatness was seen not
merely in his %faithfulness but also
In his humility. Humility IS not what
most men think it is. 1t is a COM
mon opinion that it consists in think
Ing meanly Of oneself, Of disparaging
oneself before others. How a a
man think meanly of himself when
he realizes that ne is made in the
Image Of God, that he possesses a d.
vine nature, that he is of sufficient
value to call forth the sacrifice of
the Son Of God? Eo: man was not

righteousness exalteth a nation
Yes, Mr.. Beveridge, Mr.. Bryan
dreams of Righteousness. He preach

righteousness. His political faith is
founded upon righteousness. The

they are turning to Bryan as never

Mr.. Bryan is not only preacher

ing the system and methods of road
building in the state and the use made
of our roads under the changing con-
ditions of travel, have come to the
conclusion that for myself [ am be-
lever in state aid for our highways,
principally because in this way alone
a large volume of property that now
does not assist in building country
roads will be brought in TO carry its
share of the burden. The owners of
this property in many cases are users
of the automobiles that are now wear

New Courses of Study at the
State University.

The curriculum this year includes
some 72I courses of study, which is al
increase of about 316 over the number
given last year. Of these special in
terest is centered in the cOures in med
icine, chemistry, pharmacy, journal
ism and agriculture. The college of
medicine, which is opening it's second
year, offers % courses Of study. The
addition of Prof. Loevenhart and DR..
Bunting to the faculty have made it
possible to include in the curriculum
two new courses in pathology and in
hparmacology and tOxicology. Thus
the college now has facilities for the
full two years of pre-clinical medicine,
besides unusual advantages for re-
search work. Opportunities for train
ing for young men wishing to become
chemists have been greatly increased
at the university by the organization
this year OF the various branches of
chemical work into the course in
chemistry, in which Sc courses Of
study are offered, including, beside
fundamentals and research facilities,
special training for physiological ,
sanitary and food chemists, soil and
agricultural chemists, analytical and
industrial chemists.

A X e V Ell A ITO n.

Some newspaper friends of Cover
nor Davidson, -standpatters al,-say
that he made a great speech in the
Republican platform convention last
week; and then they proceed to report
his speech. And what speech! In
reply to those followers of Senator
LaFollette who demanded that the
party declare for tariff revision down
ward, and not upward, the Governor
promptly declared that he was not
afraid of the cars, and denied that he
was stand-patter; and the rest Of his
speech was devoted to the tariff. And
what he said on the tariff was horrid.
He misquoted the prices of dairy
products in 1893, and from his mis-
quotations drew absurd conclusions.
1t is the Democrats private opin-
on, publicly expressed, that Cover
nor Davidson's speech was great only
in one respect, namely: its tendency
to increase the Democratic vote in
Wisconsin. In this way it will make
for good government. The people are
fast coming to know the real aims
and purposes of the reactionary lead
ers who again control the party now
dominant in the state. The republi-
can platform convention was a rev.

Defeat the Standpatters.

Milwaukee Journal: There is even
more reason for Progressive Republi-
cans to vote against Davidson and
Stephenson and against Davidson
Stephenson candidates for state and
legislative offices than there was for
Progressive Republicans in the Third
district to vote against Babcock's re-
election to congress two years ago.
All the Standpatters, as we'll as the
Special Interests, particularly the
railroads, are behind Stephenson and
Davidson just as they were behind
Babcock. Babcock, with the aid of
Stalwart Democratic votes, won the
primary, but the Progressive Republi-
cans took the bull by the horns and
elected a progressive Democrat to
congress. The defeat of Babcock was
necessary in the interest of good gov
erment. Because of the far greater
interests that are now at stake, the
defeat of Davidson, Stephenson and
their henchmen is most urgently re-
quired for the same reason.
1t is not a mere party question. 1t
is one of patriotism. The rights and
interests of the people merit first con-
sideration. These require the defeat
Of the Standpatters.

BRYAN WEARS WELL.

William Jennings Bryan, the Demo-
cratic candidate for President, has
been prominently before the country
for the last twelve years. That ne
possesses qualities that wear well is
generally conceded, even by many OF
his political opponents.
Shortly after Mr.. Bryan's defeat
for the presidency in 1896, Albert
Watkins of Lincoln, Nebraska, the
home of Mr.. Bryan, visited in Min
eral Point. In conversation with the
publishers OF this paper Mr.. Watkins
said in substance: While we do not
agree with Mr.. Bryan on the money
question, let us not underestimate the
man. He has great ability, is honest,
has the courage of his convictions,
and will undoubtedly make a good
record for himself in politics. Mr..
Watkins further stated that although
Mr.. Bryan was a poor man, he did
not court the favor of the rich and
powerful, but would follow a course
which he believed to be right, rather
than deviate from such a course in
order to win cOmmendation or sup
port from any source.
Mr.. Watkins was then,-as he is
nova friend and neighbOr of Mr..
Bryan. Time has proven that his
estimate of the man was correct. The
country is beginning to know Mr..
Bryan as his neighbors and intimate
associates know him.
The Democrat believed, and still be-
lieves, that Mr.. Bryan was wrong,
radically wrong, on the money ques-
ton in 1896.
But Mr.. Bryan is right upon every
question which divides the two great
political parties in 1908.
Mr.. Bryan is right, and has always
been right, on the tariff question. He
is right on the trust question; election
Of u. S. Senators by the people; the
publicity OF campaign contributions;
the misuse of federal patronage; the
guaranteeing of bank deposits, and
other great questions which are of
vital concern to the people. The
rank and file of the Democratic party,
of their own free will and accord,
have selected him as their standard
bearer in 1908, and regard him as the
foremost advocate of Jeffersonian
Democracy, of equal rights to all and
special privileges to none.
Senator Beveridge in a recent
speech, said of Mr.. Bryan, that he
was not statesman, but a dreamer
and a preacher of righteousness. To
this, one who knows Mr.. Bryan per-
sonally thus aptly responds:
1.-THE Redeemer of the world
preached righteousness beneath the

LaFoIIette Repudiated.

consin has "repudiated La Toilette
ISM" In its telegram, describing the
Madison convention it is said: "Sen-
ator Stephenson therefore is in abso-
Lutte control of the political affairs in
this state, the old conservatives or
or Stalwarts having rallied to his
side" The Standpatters are effective
workers in arousing the public as to
the issue in the present campaign.
