ed by the Democratic platform and
candidate to be "the overshadowlng
issue now under discussion.
1t is no issue. Surely the people shall
rule, surely the people have ruled;
surely Tie pcople do rule. No party
rules. The party commissioned by
the people, is simply the instrument
to execute the peoples will, and from
that party which does not obey their
expressed will or which lacks the
wisdom to lead successfully. the peo-
pie will withdraw their commission.
For half century, with but two
exceptions, the people have commits
stoned the Republican party to ad-
minister the national government;
commissioned it because its declared
principles appealed to their best
Judgment; commissioned it because
the common sense Of the American
people scented danger in the Demo
cratic policies. Ours always has been
always must be, government OF
the people. That party will, after
March 4 next, execute old laws and
enact new ones as in November it is
commissioned to do. That commits
sion will be from all !ntrammeled
American electorate. Shame on the
party which, shame on the candidate
who insults the American people by
suggestion or declaration that ma
icrity of its electorate is venal. The
American voter, with rare exception
in casting his ballot, is guided by
his best Judgment, by his desire to
conserve his own and the public veal.
The overshadowing issue of the
campaign really is: shall the admins
tration Of President Roosevelt be ap,
proved; shall party of demonstrated
capacity in administrative affairs be
continued in power; shall the relns OF
government be placed i'll experienced
hands, or do the people prefer to
trust their destines to an aggregation
of experimental malcontents and the
oyists, whose only claim to a history
is party name they pilfcred.
With a record of four decades Of
wise legislation; two score years OF
faithful administration; offering its
fulfilled pledges as guaranty OF ITS
promises for the future, the Republl-
can party appeals to the people and,
with full confidence in their wisdom
und patriotism, awaits the rendition
of the November verdict.

OPEN DEALING IN PAINT.

Buying paint used to be like the
proYerbial buying of ."pig In a
poke" Mixtures in which chalk,
ground rock, ETC., predominated were
marked and sold us Pure White
Lead" the deception not being. ap-.
parent until the paint and the paint
ing were paid for. This deception IS
still practiced. but we have learned
to expose it easily.
National Lead Company. the larg-
est makers Of genuine Pure White
Lead, realizing the injustice that was
being done to both property owners
and honest paint manufacturers set
about to make paint buying safe.
They first adopted a trade mark, the
now famous "Dutch-Boy Painter"
and put this trade mark, as guar
anty Of purity, on every package of
their White Lead. They then set
about familiarizing the public with
the glow-pipe test by which the rurl-
ty and genuineness Of White Lead
may be determined, and furnished q
blow-pipe free to every one who
would write them for it. This ac-
tion was In itself guaranty of the
purity of National Lead Company's
White Lead.
As the result of this open dealing
the paint buyer to-day has onlMhin:-

LYDIA z. PINKHAM

Nature and woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that baffic the most skilled
physicians who have spent years IN
the study Of drugs.
From the roots and herbs Of the
field Lydia E. Pinllham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world q remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and efica-
cious than any combination ofdrugs.
Lydia e. Finkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Bluff, of 515 NC. ST.,
Louisiana, No., writes:
"Completc' restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women | am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years had been suffer
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time 1 had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what I suffered, and at times l
could hardly walk. About two years
ago wrote Mrs. Pinlsham for advice.
1 followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia Z. Pinlshan's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. 1t is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Yege->
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
twill do for other suffering women.
