Knows He Is in Luck.

Chauncey NJ. Depew expresses him
self as well pleased with the situation
of course in so far only as it af-
fects him personally. He is properly
imbued with sorrow for the trouble
his party has fallen into, but as for
himself he is happy almost to the
point of citation.
He can well congratulate himself.
AS he says, he is II years old and has
been in active political life for "a
years, and most of that time he has
held office or been the power behind
the throne. Now he is allowed to re-
tire with his face saved, for the rec
ord will show that he goes out of pow
er only because his party lost in his
state. The children and the grand
children can tell that Chauncey held
on we'll at the front as long as there
was anything to hold.
Two years ago he was booked to
make a much more disastrous ending.
1t was then in the cards for Chaun-
cey's party to win III New York and
to pass him by, thereby retiring him
to private life and calling on some 9TH
er man to take his place. That doubt
less made Chauncey feel bad. for there
was much snub about that style of pro-
gram.
Lately they patched up a new pro-
gram among the patriotic in New
York, and in this Chauncey was to be
saved. For some reason best under
stood by the manager of the universe,
the colonel, Chauncey was picked to
be United States senator for another
term. or so much of 1t as he might be
able to survive. Chauncey was in
great luck to fare that we'll in arrange
ments made at a late day. for It was
more than was coming to him.
Now it is taken away from his par
ty in New York to make him or any
body else senator just at this time;
but Chauncey can have the satisfac-
ton of feeling and telling the family
that he made good with the patriotic
powers that be clear TO the end Of the
piece. This is much more than two
years ago he expected to be able TO
claim.
No wonder he feels happy.

Proposed Conference of Christians.
The response to the Episcopalian
proposition for conference of Chris
tian bodies on matters of faith and
order is likely, observes the Congre-
gationalist, to be an appreciative one.
Secular papers hail it as decided
step in advance, and the demonina-
tional papers which have thus far
commented on the proposal indicate
a friendliness on the part of the bod
les which they represent. There will
be, we think, general disposition
to meet the Episcopalians at least
halfway to assume that they are both
sincere and earnest in their desire
for a more united Christendom and
to expect that they will proceed Wig
orously with the realization OF a
plan for the conference. But if it is
to be a success the commission ap-
pointed at Cincinnati, continues the
Boston paper, will do well to heed
the suggestion of the Churchman,
which declares in favor of commit
ting the initiation of the conference
to a body representative of all the
elements that would participate in it.
In that case we shall have the par
ticipation in a free forum by its in
vited guests. but a properly cOnsti-
tuted, representative gathering sim
liar to the Edinburgh conference, in
which each denomination shall feel
an equal responsibility for the out
come. Here are the Churchman'S
exact words on the subject which we
heartily endose: a
1T goes without saying that If
there is to be a worldwide confer
ence in which the churches of Chris
tendon or any large proportion of
them are to take part, they shall all
have that part from the beginning to
the end 1t is for them all to contri-
butte the means. whether of mind or
of money, for the conference itself.
There can be no equality in the con-
clusion which is not contained in the
premises, and unless provision is
made at the very beginning for an
absolute basis of equality in con-
ference, there will, in the first place
be no such thing as a universal ac-
ceptance of the invitation to confer;
and in the second, there can be no
rational hope Of successful execution
of the work for which the confer
ence is called"

Famous "Pint of Cough
Syrup" Recipe
No Better Remedy at any Price.
Fully Guaranteed.

Make plain syrup by mixing one
pint of graduated sugar and II pint
of warm water and stir for two min

(fifty cents worth) in a pint bottle,
and fill it up with the Sugar Syrup.
This gives you family supply of the
1t never spoils. Take a teaspoonful
every one. two or three hours.
The effectiveness Of this simple
remedy is surprising. 1t seems to
take hold instantly, and will usually
stop the most obstinate cough in "a
hours. It tones up the faded appe-
tite and is just laxative enough to be
helpful in a cough, and has a pleas
ing taste. Also excellent for bron-
chial trouble, throat tickle, sore lungs
and asthma, and an unequalled rem
edy for whooping cough.
This recipe for making cough REM
edy with Pinex and Sugar Syrup Tor
strained honey is a prime favorite
in thousands of homes in the United
States and Canada. The plan has
been initiated, though never success
fully. If you try it, use only genuine
Pinex, which is the most valuable
concentrated compound of Norway
white pine extract, and is rich in
guiaicol and all the natural healing
pine elements. Other preparations
will not work in this recipe.
A guarantee Of absolute satisfaction,
or money promptly refunded, goes
with this recipe. Your druggist has
Pinex or will get 1t for you. II not,

San Francisco voters have taken a
step in line with the general principles
incorporated in the commission form
of government that Rock Island will
have chance to adopt by removing
the name of parties from the ballots
in city elections. If any candidate re-
ceives a majority of the votes cast at
the primary election he is seated forth
with. Otherwise the two highest can
didates are put on the ballot for the
regular election, insurfng a majority
of all votes cast for one or the other.
This effectively knocks out the city
political machine, which is response

racy, to curb avarice and greed and
give equal consideration to the con-
sumer that is given the producer.
There must be more consideration of
public rights and less yielding to pri-
vate monopoly.
Democrats rejoice in their recent
victory because it means victory for
principle. The organization of a dem
ocratic national house will be the first
step toward square deal for the con-
sumner and producer alike.
Then should follow the election of
a democratic president in 1912 and vic
tory for the principle of equal rights
for all and special privileges for none.

county is to be represented in con-
gress by a man nominated and elect
ed as a democrat. In 1870 man
named Stevens had been nominated by

democrats recommended him to their

In two years the socialists in those
states named gained 144943, or about
60 per cent in the whole country. At
that rate of increase the socialist vote
will soon loom up in such form that
greater cognizance must be taken of it.
The spread of socialism is due pri-
marty to the drifting of government
away from the people and it's falling
into the hands of monopoly and priv
ilege. Under such conditions the subtle
theories of socialism find ready re-
