Arkansas CITY X.RaY:

Arkansas City X-Ray: Shortly
before election it was a "volun.
tary'' 10 per cent increase of wages
to offset a IS per cent increase in
the cost of living, but it caught the
labor suckers all right. Now that
the plutocrats are in power for a.
years more, it is 10 per cent re-
duction in wages and an average
of IS to 80 per cent increase in the
necessities of life-and the suckers
can't get the hooks out of their
mouths.

Three United States senatorial aspi-
rants appeared in one day before the
Wisconsin committee which is investi-
eating the senatorial primary election Of
1908. Referring to the testimony of
these gentlemen an Associated Press
dispatch says: Samuel A Cook Of Nee
nah, while his official Statement showed
that he spent only $28,500, admitted
that a supplemental statement would show
that belated bills were making his ex-
penditures above $4,000. Mr. Cook en-
gagged VIC. Cowling Of Oshkosh, as his
manager, paying him $40 month.
Checks for nearly all expenses were made
out to Mr.. Cowling. Mr.. Cook was
asked by the committee if he thought a
candidate for senator could spend $780,
600 legitimately in senatorial campaign,
and replied that twice that amount could
easily be spent. Neal Brown Of Wausau,
the democratic nominee, testified to hav-
ing parted with $l.075.87, in what he
termed poverty campaign. He man
aged his own campaign. William H.
Hatton said his total expenses were $780,
6l3.O8. and later added $3,66S.oO
tor bills which came in later. Mr.. Hat
ton had as many as FIVE men looking
after his interests and most Of the money
was spent in sending out literature to
voters. Both Cook and Hatton express
ed the opinion that the candidate receiiv-
ing the largest vote in properly conduct
ed campaign was entitled to election.
United States Senator Stephenson recently
hled a statement showing that he spent
over $4,000 in the primary election"
The question that naturally presents it
self is. if men will part with this amount
OF money to secure an Office paying ST.
500. do they not expect reimbursement
from sources other than the salary paid2

In a recent address Governor
Harmon of Ohio hit the nail on the
head when he said. "Now, instead
of seeking methods of retrenchment
to meet present confessed deficit
Of more than hundred million,
the president and congress are de-
vising additional taxes to exact
from the diminished means of the
people and proposing to issue
bonds besides. State officials who
would propose such a course would
not dare to go home to their con-
stituents and would be forever dis.
graced if they should take it"

Those Roosevelt republicans
who believed that Mr.. Taft could
be depended upon to support real
tariff revision will be interested in
the following Washington dispatch
to the St. Louis Republic: Cali
hope of revision downward dis.
appeared and the chance of the en-
action of an income tax was ma
terially lessened when President
Taft's Endorsement of the Aldrich
bill minus an income tax became
known today. The immediate re-
suit was the display of absolute
confidence by Senator Aldrich, who.
after Senator Cummins introduced
his income tax amendment and
delivered his speech defending it,
started his tariff bill upon creased
ways and down towards its final
passage. The formal reading of
the bill paragraph by paragraph
was begun. Those persons who
hitherto have doubted are now
convinced that President Taft has
lined with the 'reactionary' forces
In the senate and against the west
ern element, known as the bro.
gressives. Until now other devel-
opments have indicated that such
is the position chosen by the new
president. He stood with Speaker
Cannon and assisted him in pass
ing the gag rule whereby the
Payne bill, somewhat mutilated.
but still a measure carrying higher
average duties than the Dingley
law, was put through the house.
He permitted Attorney General
WickerSham 4 to whitewash the
threatened new prosecution of the
beef trust for rebating. Appoint
ments have been made under the
machine system which obeys the
wishes of the politicians working
through the senators. In these and
other minor ways those of the
Roosevelt policies in line with
western radical sentiment have
been obviously tossed into the dis
card

They lNlURE CHILDREN
Ordinary CaihaTiIes and Pills and Harsh
PhysIe Cause Distressing Complaints.

You cannot be over careful in the
selection of medicine for children. Only
the very gentiest bowel medicine should
ever be given Ordinary pills, cathartics
and purgatives are too apt to do more
harm than good. They cause gripping,
nausea and other distressing after-efiects
that are frequently health destroying and
y lifelasting annoyance. We personally
recommend and guarantee Rexall Orderlies
as the safest and most dependable remedy
for constipation and associate bowel dis
orders. We have such absolute faith in
the supreme virtues of this rer1edy that
~e sell Il on our guarantee Of money back
in every instance where it fails to give
entire satisfaction, and we urge all In
need OF such medicines to try i at our
risk.
RexaIl Orderlies contain an entirely
new ingredient which is odorless, taste
less and colorless. II embraces all the
best qualities Of the soothing, laxative,
strengthening and healing remedial active
principles Of the best known intestinal
regulator tones.
Rexall Orderlies are extremely pleasant
to take, are particularly prompt and
agreeable in action, may be taken at any
time, day or night; and do not cause
diarrhoea, nausea, gripping, excessive
looseness, or other undesirable effects.
They have g very natural action upon
the glands and organs with which they
come in contact, act as 3 positive and
regulative tonic upon the relax, dry mus
cular coat Of the bowel, remove irritation,
dryness and soreness, overcome weakness,
and tone and strengthen the nerves and
muscles, and restore the bowels and asso-
ciste organs to more vigorous and healthy
activity.
RexalI Orderlies not only cure consti-
patton. but they remove the cause OF this
ailment. They also overcome the neces.
aity OF constantly taking laxatives tc
keep the bowels in normal condition.
There il really no similar medicine q
good as Rexall 0rderlies, especially fol
children, aged and delicate persons
They are prepared in tablet form and il
two sizes of packages; IL tablets, Toe, ans
SO tablets, Csc. v. a. Grant, Randolph

so closely packed that few wraps were
necessary to keep warm. Arrived at the
Old Homestead, after q half hours social
intercourse, q banquet, prepared with all

was served. About the dining room
were hung college banners, while at each
plate, in addition to the printed menus,
were small picture souvenirs executed in
the college colors represented by the sew
eral members. The parlors were profuse-
" decorated with evergreen.

at the post-prandials and proved pat and

J.. "A. Atwood and the Phoenix Actual
"The Field, p brochure published BY
the Phoenix Mutual Life Insurance COM
pany Of Hartford, Conn.,. has 10 its issue
for the present month sketch Of J. NJ.
Atwood, headed "Faithful, Loyal serv-
ice'' and embellished with q cut Of Mr..
Atwood and picture Of his residence on
South Main street In this village. The
sketch, which follows, will claim the at
tention Of the subjects neighbors and
friends, to whom be is 30 we'll known
through 3 rs years residence among
them:--
ssSome months ago there appeared in
The Field an article, entitled sChurn
Cream That expression was so original
and novel that it often comes to mind in
connection with the work OF life insur-
ance field men. The author Of the ex-
preston is q faithful representative Of
this company for many years at Ran
dolph, VT, J. M. Atwood, and we pub
lish bis photograph in this issue with q
picture of his home at Randolph, where
he Is enjoying the fruits Of his long serv-
ice for the company.
s'Mr. Atwood has written about 1900
applications since he became connected
with the company and we believe this
number is such a record among field
men that agents will find inspiration in q
few quotations from a letter which Mr..
Atwood has recently sent us:--'In the
first place 7 chose the best company, or
meant to, and think did; thoroughly
believe in the Phoenix Mutual and its
officers. / never say anything but what I
can back up. II you lie to your policy
holders they will soon find It out, and
they will lose faith in you and your COM
pany. have not an enemy in the lot
and there is not q man but would help
me to get another application / tell you
that it takes hard work to make q success
of it. Every one wrote helped me to
another. and / have been out before
breakfast and written three. One day ]
took doctor with me and wrote and had
examined twenty men before night. ]
remember one day when Brother Kohn
was helping me, we wrote seventeen and
sent the doctor the next day to examine
them all. / had been in Chelsea -four
weeks when another company found that
| was having good luck and it sent six
agents to buck against me. I said moth.
ing but kept on churning cream. The
result was wrote $4,000. while they
were getting $50, 000.'
SIN closing, Mr.. Atwood says Now
the best way to write insurance is to have
the best company -choose the Phoenix
Mutual, work, tell the truth, let other
companies alone and always be honest.
"Perhaps q study of Mr.. Atwood's face
and OF the evidence of peace and plenty
around his pleasant Vermont home will
give an incentive to any field man who
may not yet feel that he is reaping the
fullest reward OF hard, honest labor. This
is a certain proof that it will come. The
company is certainly to be congratulated
on having many men Of the type of Mr.
Atwood. and we wish very much to se'
them properly rewarded for their loya
service"
