Good Cough Medicine for Children.

The season for coughs and colds is
now at hand and too much care cannot
be used to protect the children.
child is much more likely to contract
diphtheria or scarlet fever when he
has a cold, The quicker you cure his
cold the less the risk. Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy is the sole reliance of
many mothers, and few of those who
have tried it are willing to use any
other. Mrs. T. F. Starcher of Ripley,
w. Va, says: 81 have never used
anything other than Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy for my children. and it
has always given good satisfaction. -
This remedy contains no opium or
other narcotic and may be given as
confidently to a child as to An adult.

THE SAME OLD MEANING.

The cry of the Dcseret News that
The Tribune is a peace destroyer and
prosecutor of the Mormon church is
the favorite cry of the polygamous cult.
1t is emitted only in the hope that our
campaign against immortality may be 81
lepced and the conjugal pluralists may
be thus protected and permitted TO con-
tinue to fill this community with. lille
gitimates. 1t is but Il repetition Of the
old efforts of the polygamists of years
ago. The following is quoted from an
address issued by the polygamous Nor
26, 1885:
The warfare against us is not upon in
dividuaIs, but is upon the church as a
body, and upon the religion which we
all profess to believe and practice.
We do not think II advisable for breth-
rem to go into court and plead guilty.
We must not look a our own cases from
individual standpoints. but in the light
in which the whole people may be af-
fected by our action. whatever that
may be.
So it may be seen that the Descret
News would even have been more un-
derstandable had it simply reproduced
that outgiving Of the first presidency.
1t might have proceeded along in about
this strain: ''It is not against the new
polygamists that this warfare is being
waged. but upon the entire church, and
upon the rightfulness Of the principle of
polygamy in which we believe as much
today as we ever did; and therefore
the opposition is merely persecution Of
the whole people and an attack upon
the religion which we all profess to be-
lieve and practice. We do not think it
advisable for new polygamous brethren
to permit evidence of their practice to
get out to the ungodly Gentiles, and by
no means should they let officers of the
law get hold of the facts. We must not
| look at these cases Of new polygamy
from the individual standpoint, but in
the light in which the whole people may
be affected by their exposure. We are
all in the same boat, SO TO speak; or
as our respected and revered President
Joseph F. Smith. more elegantly put it
in his testimony at Washington, we are
all 'in the same status So each and
every new polygsmist should bear in
mind the fact that if he 'squeals,
then the Lord help the rest Of usl
United we stand, divided we fall
A word TO the wise is sufficient"

WALKING IN HIS FOOTSTEPS. ,

A dispatch from London saws that
King George, who is Just beginning his
reign over Great Britain, promises to
follow in his father s footsteps. This
he may easily do as mere formal mat.
ter of routine. He must, of course, up.
hold constitutional governments; he
must safeguard the liberties of the
people, not only at home, but in the
colonies; and he must devote himself
to the well-beipg of the great India
dependency.
All of these things he may do and
doubtless will do; but he must do them
all in his own way, not his father s
way. But it is the way of doing it
that counts. That is the spirit of the
whole matter. He may follow in his
father footsteps formally, while at
the same time falling immensely short
OF doing what his father did in pre-
serving the prestige of the empire, the
dignity of the crown, and the influence
Of the nation.
We have had in this country something
Of the same kind, at least nominally.
President Taft went into office with
the assertion that he would Hcarry out
the Roosevelt policies''; but he has
done SO in such q way that Roosevelt
would never recognize those policies as
his own, Whether Taft's way is bet.
ter than Roosevelt IS, we do not now dis
cuss; but that it is not the Roosevelt
way is abundantly evident in every di.
rection. He is carrying out the Roose-
welt policies in a way to make those
policies conform to law, whereas Presi.
dent Roosevelt carried them out without
much regard to the requirements and
restrictions of the law.
King George may not be able TO make
such wide departure from his father s
precedents as President Taft has been
able to make with respect TO President
Roosevelt's policies; but the spirit of
the matter will be the same; and King
George will be lucky indeed If he is
able to enter into the spirit of King
Edward s policies and to carry out
those policies in King Edward Is style
And that is the question for Britons td
watch, and that is exactly what they
will watch. 1t is not the formal things
done, but the spirit in which they are
done, that will count.
