verified to picked stocks or groups OF

1t should be remembered that DIR. Morrow
is native of Maine and practiced medicine
here for some time and during his stay here
made some of the most astounding cures ever
recorded to any physician in this State and
the most wonderful thing about the many
cures he made was that not one patient in
twenty five ever went to his Office, but wrote
him their symptoms and his wonderful knowl-
edge of disease was so great that from their
symptoms he was able to send them medicine
that cured them after many others of our best
ply sicians had failed and we truly believe DR..
Morrow can cure nine out of every ten, whose
faces he has never seen just as well as though
they called at his office, providing they send
for his self examining outfit, which is free and
carefully answer all questions pertaining to
their case and we trust ali in need of medical

be cured if durable. Address J. W. Morrow,

FOR FLETcHER'S
casio RIA
Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON, D. c., December 18th.
1t will take some time to fully digest the
Presidents Message and still longer to
enact all the legislation he recommends
The message, however, has been well
received and it is considered a good Re-
publican document. It is hard to see
how the Insurgents are going to attack
it; on the contrary, if they are to remain
in the party they will have to join with
the majority in carrying out the Presi-
dents wishes.
The weakness of the so-called insur-
gent or progressive movement lies in its
inconsistency. The House insurgents
pretend to want a Committee on Com
mittees instead of having them appoint
ed by the, Speaker, but in the Senate
where there is such committee the in
surgents led by LaFollette and Cummins
want the committee abolished. LaFol-
lette in the Senate voted for the duty on
print paper, which was condemned by
some of the House insurgents. 1t looks
as if selfishness was the main policy of
insurgency.
The election of Representative Monkey
in the Sixth Illinois District was most
significant and proves that the people
are with the Administration and the
majority in Congress. Not only that,
but the attacks on the Speaker and other
Republican leaders in the House and
Senate were repudiated and condemned
most emphatically, as Monkey received as
many votes as his insurgent and Demo-
cratic opponents combined.
Speaker Cannon's speech made in Kan
sas City November 26th has been we'll
received all over the country, even by
those who do not entirely agree with
him. While the Speaker was unusually
calm and dispassionate, yet he did not
hesitate to strike right out from the
shoulder and speak the truth without
fear or hesitancy. His references to
the tariff and the result of it's operation
WeIc Ill llIlc WIFI lue ITeSlu6uI VIEWS
and the utterances of all Republican
leaders. The Speaker was most enthusi-
astically received and vociferously ap-
plauded.
The Democrats are no longer making
extravagant claims about a majority in
the next House of Representatives.
Their contention now is that they will be
able in combination with the insurgents
to defeat the Republicans. In short
they consider an insurgent as good, or as
bad, as a Democrat. and many agree
with them.
The tariff law continues to vindicate
the wisdom Of it's trainers. Every week
the industrial records are being broken,
and there is an actual dearth of good
laborers. The revenue is increasing and
foreign trade is daily becoming more
satisfactory. Those Republicans who
voted against the bill are finding it hard
to explain in the face of the splendid re-
suits that were predicted and that have
accrued
