"rHE GODDESS OF LIBERTY"

1t seems certain that all the adjeC.
tives justified by the English authority
have been utilized in application to
Mort Singers Princess theatre sue

musical comedy. which just closed
run of $50 performances in Chicago,
appears to be merely a pleasant pas
time, once seen and then dismissed
from the mind, but is evidently pos
sessed of such permanent qualities
that it is qualified for a place among
classics. II is infrequently true that 4
great popular success meets with a
practically unanimous word of approx
al from professional critics. but the
public and press, in the matter of this
comedy. seem in one accord. The

Some sample Earnings.
Now, Mr.. President, let me give
some instances of reasonable profits
earned by some Of our New England
industrial philanthropists: During the
last nine years the Peppereu Manufac-
turing company Of Biddeford, Maine.
has declared dividends averaging "a
per cent, in 1905 its dividends were
AZ per cent, and in 1906, 62 per cent.
The Bates Manufacturing company OF
Lewiston, Maine, capitalized at ST.
100000, with a surplus of $1.100,000,
had net earnings in 1907 amounting to
41.87 per cent and declared a divi-
dend Of 35 per cent. The Algonquin
Printing company, organized in 1893
and capitalized for 100000, had in
1907 a surplus Of $4,000. During
the last nine years its net earnings
have aggregated GOT per cent, or six
times the entire amount Of the capital
invested. It's average annual dividend
to its stockholders during the last nine
years has amounted to 671a per cent.
Numerous other instances substantial
ly Of like nature could be cited, but in
heavens name this is enough"

Further Attacks on American
Trust System at College.
PRODUCTION CONTROLLED
Declares Fight of Railroads on Water
Transportation Endangers the
Panama Canal.

DIR. c. A. Blomgren of Augustana
college again flayed the trusts yester-
| day in his chapel exercise lecture. He
| spoke of the story of Joseph and char
! acterized his policy of storing food
Tor the years of famine as the first
corner in grain in the history of the
earth. The action of Joseph. however.
was justifable, he being a saviour Of
life and not a destroyer
The speaker then impaired the
methods Of modern trIs in CONTROL
ing production and told of the grave
evils attending them. He said in
part:
They control the methods and chan
nels Of production of many commodi-
ties, and are able to discriminate
against the home market. against GER
tain localities and against competitors.
Stihe Progress.
They have frequently blocked
progress by preventing inventors from
putting improvements on the market
through lack of capital. or by buying
up inventions cheaply and letting them
lie idle, thus warding off any possible
competition. Another great evil is the
crushing and checking of individual
ity, since millions of men are treated
merely as pawns on the chess board.
But the greatest evil is the notori-
Gus and scandalous corruption of mu-
uicipal and national governments by
large corporations Thus the Ameri-
can express companies have hindered
the United States from entering in the
International parcel post system,
which has existed since 1880 so that
American citizens have to pay for in
ternational packages far more than
any other civilized country.
Fight on waterways.
THE railroads have fought every
attempt to improve our waterways and
have practically driven traffic away
from them. and desperately endanger-
ing the Panama canal project.
"A continued process of destroying
our forests has gone on for years and
the government has not been able TO
hinder It; not being able to save even
the White mountain and South Appa
lachian forest reserves.
We have no compulsory arbitration
laws. no labor pension enactments. no
employers liability codes. which other
progressive nations have enacted.
we have no railroad rates made
by any railroad commission appointed

IS ENDED FOREVER

your stomach trouble right with you
to your pharmacist and ask him to

Trangule and see if within five min
utes there Is left any trace of your
former misery.
The correct name for your trouble

the digestive organs become weak,
there is a lack of gastric juice; your
food only half digested and you be-.
come affected with loss of appetite,
pressure and fulness after eating,
vomiting nausea, heartburn, gripping

belching of gas, biliousness, sick head

other similar symptoms.
If your appetite is tickle and moth

your food lies like lump Of lead on

mind that at the bottom of all this
there is but one cause-fermentation

Prove to yourself in five minutes

and was entirely unexpected.
Mrs. Brooks was born in Ulster

was a well-to-do farmer. When she
reached young womanhood she taught
in the schools in her home county
until March, 1882, when she married
George Brooks, a prosperous young
farmer Of Ulster county. The young
couple came Immediately to North
Dakota and to Burleigh county.
Brooks entered the employ of the late
Samuel Lawrence, who lived on what
was known as the Barnum place in
Apple Creek township. Later in the
same year he took up a homestead
in Logan township and proved up on
the same, residing thereon from that
time forth.
Mr. Brooks met with an accidental
death October 4, 1905. Since her hus-
bands death Mrs. Brc>>zs hid contin.
ued to run the farm, and to raise cat
tie and hogs as Mr.. Brooks had. This
year she had already shipped two
carloads of hogs to the Chicago mar
kets.
She is survived by her mother,
Mrs. Delilah Quick, who has been
making her home with her daughter,
and by one son, Grant. She also has
some sisters back in New York state.
The funeral will occur at 100 p. m.
at the Menoken school house, Rev.
G. B.. Newcomb officiating. 1nterment
will be made in the Menokeen ceme-
terry.
