THE CORPORATION" ARGUMENT

Perhaps no fact shows more clearly the real dearth of substantial argu- ment available for use against the candidacy of Judge Robertson than the continued use of the corporation argument to which is appended the public utilities" argument The first of these is foundationlcss and the sec ond is without foundation if there is any difference, Certain newspapers about the state have persisted in re peatedly publishing the names of such corporations as Judge Robertson has at one time or another been connect ed with in the capacity of director, and columns of windy argument have followed to the effect that, if elected to be governor, the judge would be a tool in the hands of these various in- terests.
 The national political campaign this fall has been said to be largely con troversy between the personalities of two men, Mir. Taft and Mr. Bryan In a far truer sense may it be said that the state contest at the polls in Con. iecticut will be a similar contest az between Mir, Idlley and Judge Robert. son. The personalities and charac. ters of both men are now well before the citizens of the state, the one, Mr Lilley with record in congress anc in the present campaign for numerous deceptons poor judgment, and lack O prime requisites of executive station and the other, Judge Robertson, witt public record equally well known to the citizens, which shows him t, have been first last and always a maj of high principles, a man strictly O his word.

EDITOR ROOSEVELT.

No one who has made even super dclal study of the man Roosevelt can have harbored the belief that our president will by any manner or means sink into quiescence or desue- tude after his present tenure of office. Such is not the nature of the man. Much as we may desire at times 10 take issue with him on certain mat ters, we cannot dissuade ourselves of the belief that it would be far better for the country did more of the citi- zens show such many-sided interest in vital public issues generally There have been those who have pictured Mir Roosevelt as the head of some large insurance company, A good man for such a position would he make. too. for whatever else may be said of MT Roosevelt, little or nothing can be said against his integrity and the last few years have shown the need there is for men of great integ- rit. in insurance circles.
 The present announcement, that Mir. Roosevelt expects to he associated with pr Abbott on the editorial staff of The outlook, comes as somewhat of a pleasing surprise. The Outlook is print of the greatest worth and the widest influence. Without fear of exaeeeration, it may be asserted that | it carries on its subscription books the names of as thoughtful and pub- 1 Reminded class of readers as any publication in the country Its views rust always be listened to with the highest respect The citizenship It breaches must always be accepted as being of the best. It docs not strike where there is not real and vital prov ocauon for striking
 on first thought it may seem some what of a step downward to go from the president of the United states to an ant-editorship of a weekly publication yet 1t is undoubtedly true that Mir Roosevelt could in few ways give better public expression to his views on the many matters of politics national policy, and economies, in which he is necessarily so well versed than through the pages of The Out look.

LIIlLnY ON THE LOBBY.

In his speech last evening, before the voters of the city of New Haven, Mr. .Lilley the machine candidate for governor of Connecticut devoted his attention to the lobby which mas for so many years infested the halls of legislation at Hartford. We hasten to say that we find ourselves at once in sympathy with his ideas and state ments upon that question, though we are put to our wits end to understand how he can expect the voters to be- lieve that he will, if the opportunity is given him, carry his ideas into effect, with the political crowd which stands sponsor for him hanging about and upon the back of whose political note their names are signed. As Virgil sang: q fear the Greeks, even when they offer presents "-I am on my guard against an enemy and particu- 
 larly when he proffers kindness.
 Mr. Lilly tits boldly at the iniquit- ous lobby and righly holds the mem- bers of 1t responsible for the special legislative habit, which has led to over capitalization, the grant of charters which have later been sold at private profit and to the virtual destruction ot the old democratic principle of Home Rule MT Lilley told his audience the truth about the opposition offered Governor Woodruff when that oficia undertook to have @ public utilities commission created Said Mr, Lllley

Compound Syrup sarsapariIls, three

We Back Up Our Statements With Our Per-
sunaI Reputation and Money!

We are 80 positive that we can cure
constipation, no matter how chronic It
NAV be, that we offer to furnish the med
icine free Of all cost il we fail.
II Is worse than useless to attempt to
cure constipation with eathartic drugs.
Laxatives or cathartics do much harm.
They cause q reaction, irritate and weak
en- the bowels and make constipation
more chronic Besides, their nse be-
comes habit that is dangerous and Of
ten fatal.
Constipation is caused by weakness Of
the nerves and muscles OF the large intes-
tine or descending colon. To expect a
cure you must therefore tone up and
strengthen those organs and restore them
to healthier activity.
The discovery Of the active principle Of
our remedy evolved the labor of the
worlds greatest research chemists. II
possesses all the best qualities Of the re-
medal active principle Of the best
known intestinal tonics, and II is partic
ulariy prompt in its results.
We want you to try Rexall Orderlies
on our guarantee. They are exceedingly
pleasant to take and are ideal for chill
and muscles Of the bowels. They have q
neutral action on other organs or glands.
