thoughtlessness that brings peo-

of home enterprise. Merchants

stray after these false gods. A

This week the Logan Herald
comes to our table. 1t is the
newspaper started at Logan by
Herbert Baker late of the West

about as many items of locals
as all the papers he ever issued
in Stockton contained. He seems
to have started in with zeal there
and with the intention of making
the newspaper business a sue
cess. Contrary to our expecta-
tions his paper is not red hot

clined to defend Mr.. Stubbs.
Whether Mr.. Baker succeeds in
generating Stubs or not, we
hope he may make a living for
his deserving family in the bust
ness there-Stockton Review.

QUESTION OF COLOR
GOES TO COURTS
Syrian Races Want Right Of
Naturalization
BARRED BY CAMPBELL
The Claim Is Made That South Eu-
rope and North Africa People Are
of the White Race and Not
Excluded by Law.
BARRED BY CAMPBELL

Washington, November 3-The ques-
ton of granting naturalization to Turk
ish subjects is for the determination of
competent courts. This is the attitude of
the state department as defined in a
statement issued today and is taken to
indicate that the department is not pre-
pared to accept without question the con-
clusion of the bureau of naturalization
of the department of commerce and
labor that Turkish subjects are not en-
titled to naturalization.
The recent ruling of Chief Richard X.
Campbell of the bureau of naturaliza-
ton that Syrians and their racial kim
bred, who are Turkish subjects, were yell
low, not white, and that they were
barred, therefore, from naturalization un-
der existing laws, called forth public
statement of protest from the Ottoman
charge daffaires a few days ago. The
state departments view is that Turkey
is responsible, in large measure, for the
situation that has arisen. The depart
ment's statement in part follows:
For quarter of a century the govern
ment of the United States has sought
and today continues to seek TO negotiate
alization convention to provide Tor the
recognition by that government OF ex-
patriation of Turkish citizens duly natur-
allied as American citizens. This illus
trates the fact that there has been abso-
lutely no change in the policy or views
of the department of state on the sub
ject of the naturalization of subjects OF
Turkey.
According to the version held by the
Smithsonian institution, the Syrians,
large part Of the Armenians, Arabs and
dWellers of northern Africa, such as the
Egyptians, Notwithstanding the fact that
the hot sun in that climate has tanned
their skins, are as much part OF the
white race as any blonde white man
can be.
Dr. Justin S. Kirreh of New York,
who has been upturning eevry available
stone in Washington recently in his ef-
fort to overthrow Mr.. Campbelfs ruling,
has appealed to the Smithsonian experts
with results which he regards as nigh
w satisfactory. He came out tonlght
with the stateemnt that Dr. Hrdlicka OF
the institutes division of physical an
thropology has entirely confirmed his
contention that the Syrians and their
racial kindred. sought by Mr.. Campbell
to be excluded. are indisputably OF the
white race.

LOOKING FOR WARD

There are no reasons at the present
time for outbursts of exceeding great joy
on account of the baseball outlook for
next season.
We say this in all candor. We say this
because there is yet time to get busy to do

From appearances. Manager Wordsworth
has a very ordinary aggregation.
Nothing is known of either of his catch
ers. As to whether or not he has a third
baseman is a matter of conjecture. Man

Molesworth is a good outfielder. Yancey
is all right. Henline is good, but Moles-

true concerning McGilvray.
OF course it is early. There is still
plenty of time in which to get a good
team.
But the reason why we write this-our

Another failure will just about put a

Fermentation and
Flatulence Prevented
In the Stomach by Charcoal, the Great
Absorbent, Anti-Fermentative,
and Deodorant.

Some years ago Dr. Belloc, retired
surgeon of the French army, turned his
attention to charcoal as a remedy for
dyspepsia, fermentation and flatulence
or gas in the stomach and intestines. He
was himself a sufferer from these symp-
toms, and thus had an opportunity of
testing personally its therapeutic action
He decided after many tests that char
coal made of willow wood was by far
the best. He found that charcoal made
of other woods caused a disagreeabe
taste in the mouth-even painful excoria-
tons of the mucous membrane, as well
as thirst, and a pinching sensation in
the stomach; but not one of these symp-
toms ever occurred when willow char
coal was employed.
He was in the habit of prescribing
from two to six teaspoonfuls for his
patients, but he himself frequently took
as much as 800 grammes. or more than
Is ounces per day. There is really no
such thing as taking too much char
coal. An excess cannot be taken, for
the reason that the more you take the
better 1t is for you, as 1t is entirely
harmless and through its use your sys-
tenn will be completely cleansed of all
its impurities. the fermentation of food
and the formation of gas in the stom-
ach prevented and the absorption of toxic
products or poisonous material into the
blood from the stomach and intestnes
estopped.
When regular physician took as much
as 10 ounces of charcoal daily, its harm
lessness and beneficial effects as an alb
sotbent, deodorant, germ-destroyer and
dyspepsia cure should be apparent to all.
The Academic Rationale de Medicine
of Paris reported very favorably on a
memoir which DR.. Belloc published on
the use of charcoal, and in France 1t
soon became fayorite remedy Its
reputation spread to this country and
now we find charcoal lozenges extern
sively sold. prescribed and employed
as dyspepsia remedies. DR.. Belloc's
charcoal was administered to his pa
tents in the form OF a powder stirred
up in water, which was very disagree
able to the taste and its efficacy was
far less than In the form of a lozenge
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are a great
and happy improvement upon this form OF
administering charcoal They are made
of the best willow charcoal, freshly pre-
pared, and rendered exceedingly palata BILE
by the addition of pure honey, which
gives them taste that is in strong con-
trast to that of ordinary powdered char
coal. Nothing could be more efficacious
in its effects than charcoal given in this
desirable form. Two or three of Stuarts
Charcoal Lozenges taken after meals are
sufficient to give complete relief. Go
to your druggist and buy box, but
insist on having 6tuart's, as there are
many worthless limitations on the market,

lar, lockwood. dog-wood etc., which are
not good for the system. For sale ev-

PROHIBITIONISTS
ADMIT WEAKNESS

Chicago. November 3.-Charles r.
tee of the prohibition party. saw en-
couragement for prohibition in the cleo
ton returns throughout the country yes
terday despite the defeat of reform forces
in many principal cities.
'"The most important feature of the
elections" said Chairman Jones here to-
day, was not the series of anti-license
victories in Illinois and other states but
the startling defeat of reform forces in
Buffalo, Cincinnati San Francisco and
other large cities. These defeats are
in no case as result of indifference to
political reform and civic righteousness
in the large cities. In almost every case
there was evident a strong public senti-
ment for the election of clean men to
office and the wiping out of graft.
"At the same time. however. the liquor
interests and their allied forces of graft
and vice, put on their guard by rails
ing public sentiment against them, have
been strengthening their already COM
pact political power and through one or
the other of the dominant political or
ganizations have easily won a temporary
reprieve from the doom marked for them
by public opinion
THE triumph of the liquor forces in
Philadelphia. Cincinnati, Louisville and
San Francisco proves undeniably that
the only way to drive out the corrupt
elements and break their grip UPON pub
lie affairs is by the union of all the
forces of good citizenship in permanent
political organization
