advantage of what the physician told
them when &c was first called in con-

say: Give the children Castoria-"
Healthy parents know this remedy OF
old, for they took it themselves as
children. 1t was more than thirty
years ago that Castoria made a place

Much is printed nowadays about big

these much-read-about families. Here
is what he says:
"As the father of thirteen children

your great medicine. and aside from
my own family experience / have, in
my years of practice, found Castoria
popular and efficient remedy in al
most every home"
Charles H. Fletcher has received
hundreds of letters from prominent
physicians who have the same esteem

Shall the Canal he Fortificdy


To fortify or not to fortify the Pan
anna canal is the question that Con-
gress will have to determine shortly.
At first blush, the canal being an
American enterprise, intended pri-
marily as an adjunct to the American
navy and designed to bring our coasts
together, the sentiment would be for
certifying it.
The Suez canal is not fortified.
Great Britain controls the canal, and
Great Britain dominates the Mediter-
ranean. She has heavily fortified
Gibraltar. She has naval bases at
Malta and Cyprus. Hence it may be
something of a mistake to assume that
the Suez canal is open to all nations
whether at peace or war. The test has
not yet come, when Great Britain was
actually at war herself. Paper treaties
do not hold nations when they are con-
fronted with the question of self
preservation. Yet the United States
might weaken, rather than strengthen.
Itself by fortifylng the Panama canal.
In the first place, land Notifications
would not prevent a hostile sea force
from blockading the canal. This would
compel us to draw our ships from our
coasts and divide our naval strength,
which never will be more than enough
to protect our long coast line in case
of war.
The Panama canal can he fortified.
It can be rendered impregnable from
assault by sea. 1t Is all a question
whether this country would gain any
thing by announcing that the canal is
a national rather than an international
concern. 1t is a question to think
about Indianapolis Journal.

What n Real Democrassc Party Can
DO.

Do.
The st. Louis Republic, the leading
Democratic newspaper of the West,
celebrates its one hundred and first
birthday by outlining a winning plat
form for the Democratic party.
II is essentially the Tilden platform
of 1876, and the Cleveland platform
of 1884, condensed into the following
brief statement:
Devotion to the Constitution in its
full force and full vitality-reform in
the scale of public expense. Federal,
State and Notwithstanding ex-
penditures to the needs of a govern
ment economically Misunderstanding
ting down extravagant appropriations
-abolishing useless Offices and places
not required by the public welfare.
We have become so accustomed to
thrills and sensations in Democratic
policies that such a platform looks at
first decidedly dull. fat and common
place. Yet 1t rs built of the issues
that abide-of issues that are always
demanding to be met
Because of the long lease of power
without effective opposition the Re-
publican party staggers under its own
weight, and the country sometimes
staggers with 1t.
Something is needed to bring the
country and the political thought of
it's people into balance. equilibrium
and stability. Here is the opportunity
of the Democratic party. 1t has but
to take the opportunity and show sim
cere devotion to the issues that abide.
with a candidate possessing the
confidence Of the country" says the
Republic. "a platform like this will
prove the winning one"
With such a candidate and such a
platform the Democracy can do much.
It can straighten up the Republican
party like magic Or. if IL fail in this.
it can seize the reins of power for it

StonevvaIl Jackson's Record.


The death of John William Jones,
d. D.. at Columbus. Ca. recalls what
is probably the funniest series of typo
graphical plumbers which ever actually
occurred. says the Waterman. The
writer can testify to the accuracy of
this series, because he read them at
the time they were made in the two
Journals involved. After the Civil
War DIR. Jones was southern CORE
spondent of the New York Examiner.
At that time there was rival Baptist
paper in New York City called the
Watchtower In writing of the death
of his friend Stonewall Jackson Dr.
Jones praised highly his character and
referred to him as "battle-scarred
veteran"
The printers of the Examiner
amended this, and 1t was stated to the
readers that Stonewall Jackson was
"a battle-scared veteran" The Watch
tower saw a chance to make a little
fun of its rival paper and attempted
simply to reproduce the error of the
Examiners printer. But the printer
of the Watchtower took his turn and
made 1t read that Stonewall Jackson
was "a bottle-scarred veteran" Now
the Examiner had a good chance to
get back at its rival. and made merry
at the trial to correct one error by
making a worse one. But alas II
seemed that the expression was
doomed to a comedy of errors, for
when the Examiners triumphant conn
ter appeared 1t informed its readers
that In attempting to correct the err
ror in the Examiner the Watchtower
had said that Stonewall Jackson was
"a battle-sacred veteran" At this both
the editors gave 1t up as bad job.

A TARIFF COMMISSION.


Board of Experts One of the TaPfn
BiEI's Good Recommendations.
One of the good points in the tariff
bill which passed the Senate is the
section which provides for the selec-
ton of a board of tariff experts, to
report occasionally to Congress, and
to advise Congress and the President
in matters pertaining to the admins
tration of the tariff act. This pro-
vision was incorporated in the bill at
the suggestion of Mr.. Aldrich. 1t was
not in the House draft of the bill.
But as the Republican press of the
country has given the proposition
strong support, 1t will probably be &C.
cepted by the House conferees.
Several years have passed since the
National Association of Manufacturers
began urging the selection of a per-
manent, non-partisan board of broad
minded business men TO make in
quiries into wages and prices of ma
terials at home and abroad, and make
reports to Congress from time to time
on which that body could base such
changes in the schedules as would be
necessary. The leading Republican
newspapers of the country gave the
idea their support from the beginning.
The necessity for such a board of ca
pable, unbiased men to make such an
investigation was so apparent that it
won the favor of many persons in
Congress Immediately Bills providing
for commission were introduced in
the Congress which expired last March
by Senators Beveridge, La Toilette and
others. They gave their hearty sup
port to the Aldrich proposition. al
though they believed. and still believe,
that 1t does not 90 far enough to meet
the necessities Of the situation.
The provision in the Senate bill
stops far short of what the country
would like. 1t does not, in a manda-
| tory way, provide for a permanent
tariff commission. to give its entire
time to the study of the labor and
general industrial situation in the
United States and the rest of the
world. In general way 1t leaves the
number of the members of the tariff
board and their duties to the Presi-
dent. 1t is beginning. however, and
there is hope that in the regular ses-
sion next winter further step may
be taken toward creating the body
which the business men of the coun-
try ask. Never was he necessity for
such commission ade so obvious
as it was during the framing and the
consideration of the Payne bill. Had
there been body at work for two or
three years before the meeting of the
extra session. the work of Messrs.
Payne and Aldrich could have been
performed in three or four weeks in
stead of four months, and the finished
product would have been far more
satisfactory to the American people
than this is likely to best. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
