FRIDAY, MARCH IS, 1910.

James Adlard, of Browns Valley, has again
filed for the Democratic nomination for the
House of Representatives. He was candidate
two years ago.
Elsewhere in this issue will be found in
cartoon form the comment of an anti-county
optionist the present political situation. A
large dog represents the Republican party and
a small one represents county option but
watch him grow.

Many a cook dressed in the clothes of her
mistress may masquerade in the paror as a
society leader, but few society leaders dressed
as cooks could long masquerade as such in the
kitchen. All of which leads us to remark that
it takes brains to be cook.-Brooklyn Times

The duty of every candidate for public
position, says the Mortified News, is to state
his position plainly. The people have right
to know. They are asked to make a choice.
They should be in position to make it intel
igently. They ought not to be asked to take
anything for granted. No man who asks the
people to vote for him ought to be either afraid
or ashamed to let them know-friends and
enemies alike just where he stands. If man
is silent before election lest he antagonize those
who otherwise might vote for him, doesn't
that amount to securing their votes under a
misrepresentation of his real attitude? More
over, if candidate is willing to smother his
principles before election, is it altogether safe
to believe that he is quite certain to make them
his guide after election?

Acknowledgement Simpson is entitled to
credit for the way he has looked after the
interests of the state in the matter of the
inheritance tax on the John P. Kennedy estate
Mr. Kennedy wealthy New Yorker who
held many shares Of Great Northern stock.
decision of the New York courts suggested
to Mr.. Simpson that inasmuch as the Great
Northern a Minnesota corporation, it might
be necessary to have the Minnesota inheritance
tax paid before the stock could be transferred
to Kennedys heirs. On the basis of all the
Great Northern stock owned by Kennedy the
tax would amount to about a million dollars,
but on the proportional basis of Minnesota
mileage, the tax would be $135,OOO This latter
mise but Attorney General Simpson wisely
refused to compromise on the ground that be
had no authority. Furthermore, the case is
too important to be compromised, because it is
the business of the courts to say whether this
state is entitled to million, or $135,OOO or
nothing from this estate. When the question
is decided by the highest tribunal, the decision
will have great effect on the inheritance tax
laws of the various states. And just think of
the revenue that might accrue to New Jersey,
where the big companies are incorporated.

Bad Boys Are Made

Richmond Times Dispatch The
reason boys are bad is because no.
body takes the trouble To make them
good. They are not born bad, and
making them good is only returning
them 10 their normal state. Al least
this Is the philosophy of Mrs. Glenn
ents, who teaches in public school
M. 3, jersey city. Mrs. Clements
ought To know what she il talking
about, because she has mnde n spec
ialty OF bad boys. She teaches i'm "a
tough district, and always gets the
toughest boys at their toughest age,
she Is guardian OF all the incorrigi-
bles OF the police court, and she liz
champion OF Interests of the boys in
half dozen enterprises from base
ball teams to music clubs. When she
says that the only question i'm re-
forming boys is To undo the evil and
To arouse the good, she IL thus giving
the result OF long and varied expert
ence.
We are glad to hear this opinion
from so expert authority, because il
only bears out what we have been
thinking fer long time. After nlI,
the boys own philosophy Is the true
one he Is not bad, he is Just mis-
chievious, and the reason he be-
comes bad is that nobody under
stands that he Is not bad at heart.
We wonder how many really bad
boys there are in the world. Oh
course there ere some. Drunken par
cuts and degenerates have children
whose moral instincts are warped,
Whose lives are marred. But with
these exceptions-and even here the
children are not Tesponsible-th
trouble is in the raising OF the boys
rather than In the boys themselves.
Mrs. Clements thinks so, for she
has tested IL. She had a"hard case, "
she told the reporter the oLhe- daV.
The boys name was John, and he
came with the reputation OF being
a devil. One day / noticed
that his shoes had no soles and that
his feet were bleeding. / wens home

found he lived i'm "A miserable shanty
with drunken father, whose only
occupation, so far rs 1 could see,
was cursing his son and throwing

Hence the bad boy"

Bryan never advocated anything that
caused the displeasure of the AL

Bryan was defeated by advocating
that which stirred the wrath of the

the interest of infant industries, tar

instilled fright of slaves, rather than
by any other cause. What about the

No Answer Yet.

Judge Alton B. Parker is asking
questions, and Colonel Roosevelt and
his adherents in New York are too
busy to answer. Putting aside for the
moment the transaction of two "prac-
teal men, in which one went into
Wall street and raised S25O,00O to buy
10000 votes Ito make the other presi-
dent of the United States. Judge
Parker asks what answer there is to
the charge that 80 per cent of the com
binations in restraint of trade and de-
struction of competition, called trusts,
have grown up in 10 years under the
nursing care of the Dingley tariff.
The judge further asks what answer
is there to the reproach that the cost
of living has been raised to an exorbi-
tant height by the excessive duties i'm
posed by a republican majority in
congress with the approval of a re-
publican administration. Colonel
Roosevelt is too much occupied pro-
noting his third term to find time to

CATARRH SUFFERERS
Good Thing to Know.

If you now own a IIyomef hard
rubber inhaler the Harper House
pharmacy wants you to know that
MEL for only so cents.
Remember this, all who suffer
with catarrh-a bottle of HYOMEI
pronounce it High-o-me) is put up
in a Separate package and sold for
so cents, to accommodate the vast
army of people who already own a
Hyomei inhaler
The Harper House pharmacy will
sell it to you at that price and give
you the opportunity to begin at once
to rid yourself of vile catarrh and
the snufing, hawking and splitting
that go with it.
Many people through years of
neglect have let catarrh get a strong
hold upon them. Some of these peo-
pie unreasonably think that one bot
tie of HYOMEI ought TO cure them.
No matter how chronic your ca
tarrhal troubles, HYOMEI is guar
anteed by the Harper House phar-
macy TO cure them If you give it
half a chance. Just breathe it, that s
all, and it's healing, soothing. anti
septic properties will make you feel
better in a day.
If you own an inhaler, get a so
cent bottle of HLOMEI today. It
you do not own q Hyomei inhaler.

Evading the Issue.

Son-in-law Longworth, congress-
man from Cincinnati by the grace of
Boss Cox, has found the political
ground rather shaky this year on ac-
count of his support of Cannon and
The tariff bill. AS many of his con
stituents believe that the high t3riff
has made high prices, he has tried
to divert their attention from the
high cost of living to a more econoln-
ical way of preparing the high priced
food. He is, therefore, distribrtin :
thousands of the agricultural depart
ment cook books, which tell how to
make chuck steak taste like tender
loin. Whether this evading of the
real issue will turn the political tide
the Longworth way will soon be
known, SO it is needless to surmise.
When it comes to the tariff is
sue, why do the standpatters always
resort to subterfuge and try to shoe
the voters from the facts? Mr.. Roose-
vel is an expert in turning sharp po-
litical corners, and he has probably
advised his son-in-law what TO do.
