This is illustrated In the following
story:
Il was for IL years clerk in n store

drinking strong coffee, my nerves
were unsteady and my stomach got
weak and was soon n very sick man.

stopped eating everything which
thought might affect me except coffee,
but still my condition grew worse, and

Il finally quit coffee and COM

Democracy the Only HOPE.

The fatal weakness in Senator Cum

licanism is the proposed compromise
by which the proGressiyes are to com.
binc with the TCactionaries in com.
mon fight against Democratic con,
troll of congress.
If the insurgent Republicans of
Iowa, the northwest and the middle
west wage their fight against tariff
monopoly and in favor of honesty in
government upon any such compact
as that, they will be absorbed by the
reactionaries and their leaders will
disappear from politics after a few
campaigns.
Between the principles upon which
MIR. Cummins was elected to the sen.
ate and those for which Senator Al.
drich and Speaker Cannon stand the
difference Is as wide as that between
night and day. There would be
neither political honesty nor good
practical politics In a fight by Mr.
Cummins' friends to help the enemies
of their principles to stay in con,

II Mr.. Cummins has correctly out
lined the course to be followed by
western insurgcnt leaders. the signal
