WHY THEY FAIL
Most Pile Remedies Miss the Cause
Of Piles

Disagreeable treatment with ONT
ments or suppositories usually fails
to cure piles and cutting them on
won't remove the cause. Such treat.
ment only moderates the outside ef.
fects OF the disease and fails to rem.
edy the inside cause. The up to date
doctors now use internal medicine,
to free the circulation IN the lower
bowel and so remove the disease.

and only guaranteed internal pile

LIQUOR QUESTION Is
DROPPED BY MINISTERS
Resolutions On Matter Of Opening
Local Option Fight In Richmond
Ruled Out of Order.

RICHMOND, VA, April 11.-Not 4
dissenting voice was raised when Rev.
DIR. J. n. Latham. pastor OF Centenary
Methodist church, presiding over the
monthly meeting of the Ministerial
Union, this afternoon ruled that con
sideration of resolutions with refer
enoe TO the Inauguration of local
option campaign was out of order.
This matter was brought up follow
ing the reading of the minutes and
transaction of small amount OF
routine business. Rev. Henry Pearce
Atkins. the secretary, read the resolu-
tions, which had been referred to the
Ministerial Union at a called meeting
OF the ministers of Richmond he'd the
latter part of last month.
Immediately after the reading of
the resolutions had been concluded.
Rev. DR.. Latham arose and stated
that, inasmuch as the mater of open
ing a campaign against the saloon in
Richmond had originated at called
meeting of the ministers and not al a
meeting of the Ministerial Union. he
would rule that il was out of order
for the latter body to consider the
question. DIR. Latham also stated that
the purpose of the union were more OF
a social nature than otherwise, and he
gave that as a second reason why the
question should not be taken up
Another reason advanced by the
Centenary pastor was the fact that a
considerable majority of the Rich
mOnd ministers seemed to nave been
opposed to projecting a local option
at this time.

ing that the revelations in the recent

facts brought ont in the insurance III

surance Hotchkiss have caused every
honest citizen TO Jingle with shame
and indignation and have made ir-
resistible the demand that every
proper means should be employed To

Hughes sent special message TO the
legislature tonight recommending IAN
immediate, impartial. thorough anu
unsparing investigation into Legislative
practices and procedure and into the
use of corrupt or improper means for
the promotion or defeat of legisla-
ton"
Opportunity is Presented.
Governor Hughes declares that
promising opportunity is presented 10
the legislature ito pursue the opening
trails of corruption, to reveal Illicit
methods and agencies, to uncover the
perfidious influences which have dis
honored the state and thus to aid in
securing the wholesome exercises OF its
beneficient authority"
Important as would be the whole
some and corrective influences of pub
iicity with respect to these matters,
the governor continues, the purpose
and result of inquiry extend beyond
the bounds of mere disclosure. No
subject deserves more thorough con-
sideration TO the end that ,he oppor-
tunities of those who are willing to
buy legislative, favor or to use repre-
sentative powers for personal proht,
should be limited to the utmost de-
gree.
Now the Time.
at may be impossible wholly to
eradicate these evils, but TO the ex-
tent that the nature of the Illicit in
tercourse is understood and the
methods and instrumentalities which
have been successful are exposed,
there may be intelligent effort at
remedial action through both statutes
and legislative rules.
THE time is ripe, in my judgment
for a full and painstaking inquiry to
expose the worst of public wrongs
and to prepare the way for needed i'm
provements in our laws and legislative
processes"
