waiting for Lodge, the chroniclers do
not say, but now that it has him,
it will, of course, be 10th to part
with him. For nearly two decades
he has sat at the right hand of Aid
rich and been his chief lieutenant,
his spokesman when the time came
for oratoricaI deliverance.
But now there are strange rumors,
rumblings and reports coming from
the old commonwealth. News that
Plymouth Rock were being pounded
into dust could not be more astound-
ing, alarming or distressing. Some
where, in more classic language than
this, the thought is expressed that
the GROWER shall go to the GROCERY
once too often.% The cradle of po-
litical liberty has become the hot
bed of political libertines. and the
Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge, so 1t is
said, is about to become their victim.
Shame that anyone should seek to
snatch from him the toga which he
has worn with such dignity and be-
coming grace, but perhaps, there's
reason.

Regulation Preferred to Prohibition.

Regulation Preferred to Prohibition.
If wise regulation with reference 10
the saloon should become the general
policy in Illinois municipalities there
local option in a few years, basing the
summary on the returns from Tues
days election. These indicate that
the people prefer regulation, where it
is regulation, to prohibition Take for
instances the cities of Rockford and
Decatur. Both were well regulated
before prohibition was adopted as an
experiment. After two years of ex-
perience, the people having tried both
methods, have returned to regulation.
Look at Bloomington, where as the
non-biased Associated Press dis
patches say, The vets increased
their majorities and both sides gave
credit to the city administration which
has enforced strictly the laws govern
ing the saloons"
Springfield, the capital of the state,
where the "drys" made a hard fight,
remained dry although by reduced ma
jorities, because the people are not
yet ready for prohibition. Danvi1le,
Aurora, Freeport and Joliet are like
wise conspicuous examples of cities
where the -drys" were unable to make
a serious impression. In thelast three
named cities the 'wets'' increased
their majortties due to regulation.
A third of the cities that went wet
voted dry two years ago, whereas
Monmouth proved the main city of
Importance that changed from wet"
to dry" Whether this fact may be
attributable to Galesburg's moral ex-
ample or Galesburg's Overflow" one
is not capable Of judging from this
distance.
Summing up the entire situation,
however, as it applies to the larger or
middle class cities of Illinois, the pre-
dominating sentiment is Enthusiastically
for regulation rather than prohibition,
a fact emphasized by conspicuous in
stances where both policies have been
tried
In view of these circumstances it Is
not difficult to see what should be
Rock Islands move. 1t is to get under
the banner of regulation.
And-do it now

NEW DRUG CURES
FEVER AND AGUE
(From the New York Graphic.)

(from the new YORK Grapnlc-)
OF all the prominent men gathered
at the medical convention last week
none attracted more attention than
Professor G. w. LaTorne, whose new
kardene treatment for chills and fever
and all forms OF malaria has been so
successful.
While kardene Is known as q blood
purifier and liver invigorator, its value
as a cure for malarial attacks was not
recognized until recently. It's use is
growing rapidly, not only because of
its wonderful merit, but also on &C
count OF its low cost. You can make
a full quart of kardene tonic by dis
solving one ounce of kardene and a
teacupful Of sugar in n pint OF alco-
hol and then adding Ia pints of boil
ing water. The dose is a tablespoon
full before each meal and before re-
firing.
Kardene tonic is doubly valuable in
the spring, when the system needs
toning up. Taken regularly for few
weeks 1t will do away with that tired
feeling, restore lost energy and ambi-
ton, correct deranged digestion, arouse
a torpid liver and purify and enrich the
blood. enabling it to cast out OF the
system the impurities that cause sal
lowness, blotches, pimples and similar
symptoms of impure blood. If your
druggist is out of kardene, ask him to
get it for you.

Mr.. Harmon and the Presidency.

The Chicago Tribune's poll Of demo
cratic editors on the presidency shows
a majority in the west and middle
west for Bryan and a majority for
Harmon in the east.
These are multiplying evidences
that Mr.. Harmon. who is now serving
his first term as governor of Ohio,
will be a formidable candidate in the
next national convention. II he shall
be reelected this fall, hardly anything
will be able to keep him out of the
nomination. Mayor Gaynor Of New
York is rising star, but in the two
years to elapse between now and the
date of the convention he may suffer
eclipse Governor Marshall of Indiana
has powerful friends attracted to him
by his sterling democracy. But Har-
mon is commended more strongly than
the others because as member Of the
Cleveland cabinet he will have the
support Of the conservative democ-
racy, and by virtue of his loyal sup
port of Mr.. Bryan in all the latter's
campaigns, as we'll as for his views
on public questions, will have the SYM
patty of the Nebraskan's great follow
ing.
In an interview with correspond
ent of the Chicago Tribune who went
to Columbus, Governor Harmon indi-
Gated these to be the Conspicuous
reproaches" in our governmental sys-
tenn today:
l. Government for the enrichment
of special interests instead of for the
people.
2 Tariff for the advancement of
specific moneyed interests instead of
for revenue only.
8. Extravaganza in federal admins
tration.
This appears at first blush to be
very incomplete arraignment. But in
the very first declaration, government
for the enrichment of special interests
instead of the people," there is in
cluded all the opposition to legislation
designed to entrench special privilege.
A candidate on a platform no more
specific than opposition to special priv
ilege in all it's forms-if the candidate
be a man of the Harmon type, who
believes that guilt is always per-
sonaf'-would be acclaimed as a de-
nverer by a people who are tired Of
being exploited by legislative license.

When Lodge Is shorn of His ToEa.

Frank B. Lord in Norman E..
Mack's National Monthly for April:
Some day, in the fullness of time
and the progress of events by the
hand of Providence, which moves in
a mysterious way, or by the hand of
the Massachusetts, voter, which has
seemed to be suffering from paraI-
ysis-and let us pray that rather it
may be the latter method-we shall
witness that distressing and painful
hour when the honorable Henry
Cabot Lodge shall be torn and sep
arated from the bosom Of the United
States senate. Then, and not until
then, shall we of the younger genera
ton, see, even If we are unable to
understand how that august body
shall conduct and deport itself with
out the presence of the senior sena-
tor from the Old Bay state to main

lions.

something more than mere senator.
He Is orator, scholar and lfterateur.

about the ivory hand that had been
promised to me / thought he would
go out of his mind. He pleaded that

little impressed by his actions; but,
anyway, my curiosity was aroused, and
so / agreed, and he happily packed
the little box among your case Of
goods and watched with great salts
faction while the coolies rolled the
case into the hold of the ship. The
day after that / went down to Chefu
and secured the hand of Buddha,'
as the old man called it. He was q
sly old beggar and up to some devil
try, I was positive, though not a mus
Gle of his oily, yellow countenance
moved when 1 presented my letter.
The hand l have brought home with
me, and, in spite of my China boys
warning that / would suffer unimag-
Unable Ill fortune if l ever brought
the two objects, the hand and the box,
together. it is my intention to do that
very thing tonight. The hand is pack
ed in my bag, and want you to come
around to my rooms now and bring
the box, and we will find what in the
devil that old rascal was up to if it
wasn't all bosh."
1 assented reluctantly enough, for 1
was rather bored by the mysterious
box and just bit down in the mouth
about the news of his engagement.
''Now that you have consented" he
said coolly, IN read you the letter
which Van Ping sent to his brother.
OF course these chaps exercise a lot
of hocus pocus in all their affairs, and
was somewhat amused at the idea
of their evident desire to work me up
into a fright. After the old merchant
had read the letter / had it translated
1t seemed to throw the translator into
a spasm as he read it" He drew
from a letter case a thin strip of red
paper and slowly read: "'Give to the
accursed American the hand of Bud
dha. He has the sacred box The
serpent grows rapidly"
The clocks were striking 2 as we
left my studio and made our way
through the deserted streets to Law
rence's rooms. The unusual events of
the evening had combined to upset my
nerves, and 1t was with a vague feel
ing of dread that accompanied him
on what seemed FOOLS errand. Yet
there was a decidedly uncomfortable
feeling that I could not suppress.
Twice I looked behind me quickly, and
twice saw nothing but the long,
sharp shadows cast by the electric
lights. Lawrence seemed unconscious
Of my mental excitement, for he strobe
quietly by my side with bent head and
hands in his pockets. 1t was a relief
to get into the warmly lighted vesti-
bule, for there no longer heard the
imaginary soft pad-pad Of feet behind
us. I had carried the box in a hand
bag, and its weight was such that i
was glad to turn It over to my host,
who excused himself and disappeared
into the smoking room. Presently lie
returned
