WHY THEY FAIL.
Most Pile Remedies Miss the Cause of
Piles.

Piles.
Disagreeable treatment with oint-

cure piles and cutting them off won't re-
move the cause. Such treatment only
moderates the outside effects of the dis
ease and fails to remedy 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.

BRAND WHITLOCK'S VIEWS
Picture Agitation Spasmodic Accession
of Righteousness, He Says.
by Telegraph to The Tribune


Toledo July S-That the American people
are unduly excited by the victory of Jack
Johnson over Jim Jeffries was the I'M
mort of an address by Mayor Brand Whit
lock before the national convention or the
American Flint Glass Workers to-day Inc
resulting public repugnance toward pugli-
ism the Mayor characterized as a spas
modic accession of righteousness over some
thing of little or no consequence. In con-
trast to what he described as "a generally
supine attitude toward industrial abuses In
real need of correction" Every one, he
said except Johnson. is convinced now that
prizefighting is brutal
The Mayor said that he was glad to take
advantage of this first opportunity to speak
his thoughts on the subject, but he did not
tell what he would do, in his official ca
pacity. in regard to the exhibit of the fight
pictures in Toledo.
Some persons talk as if this prizef1ght
had decided the question of supremacy be-
tween the black and white races said the
Mayor Why l would not be surprised If
Mr.. Johnson could whip Tolstoy. In fact.
haven't the slightest doubt that he
could Perhaps he could whip Mr.. Roose-
welt And | have no doubt that Mr.. JEFF
fries, in his present battered condition,
could defeat Booker T Washington.

CALLS FOR NATIONAL BLUSH.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: They who do anything to stir up
race hatred rouse in men a spirit which
seems born of the devil, and, once reused.
Is almost impossible to be controlled. The
recent fight of white man and coiored
man at Reno New. is one of which all
decent Americans ought to be ashamed.
1t would seem that paper of the standing
of The New York Tribune could not con-
descend to give column after column to
the reporting of the stages in the scene,
and that all reporters, typesetters and
prcofreaderS on all our papers would
blush with shame that they had a part in
spreading the details before the American
public The effects of this fight will check
the kindly feeling that was growing up
between white and negro men in our land.
And this is not the worst of it-for some
men propose to print and issue pictures
of the brutal scene, which may be scat
tered over our land and thus degrade the
boys and the girls who may see them.
Fathers and mothers will be astonished to
hear their little boys describe the scenes
and may find them giving one another
blows to illustrate what they have seen.
Could not the United States government
forbid the circulation of such pictures
through the malls? Already the Young
Peoples Society of Christian Endeavor Is
undertaking to hinder the sale of such
pictures. and may hope that success
will crown their efforts. Shall not the
pure and clean element In our land deter
mine that such displays and pictures or
sucn scenes shall no more occur or be seen
here. and that legal measures shall be
adopted that will forever bar them from
our country? S. M'NEIL keller

MAY WITHDRAW FILMS
Picture Men Won't Try to Force
Pictures on Public.

Chicago. July S.-Stirred by the growing
sentiment throughout the country against
the exhibition of the Jeffries-Johnson fight
films, George Kleine, William Selig and
George A Spoor, representatives Of the
motion picture syndicate. issued this state
ment last night:
No effort will be made TO show the pict-
ures in any city or town where adverse
legislation has been taken 1t will not be
necessary to get out injunctions, for this
combine does not intend to buck the law
in any city or state. We do not think these
pjctures are any different from those which
have been displayed of the Johnson Burns
and Johnson-Ketchel fights, but II we find
that popular sentiment is against them we
will Law them on the shelf and not show
them at all"
Unless Chief of Police Steward and Mayor
Busse change their minds the pictures will
not be harmed from Chicago. While the
chief remains silent on the subject, merely
saving. II will cross that bridge when
come 10 it," it is said that personally he
does not think the morals OF the city Will
be injured by the pictures
In order to stop the exhibition of pict-
ures the chief, under the city ordinances,
would have to declare them to be either
immoral or obscene Assistant Corporation
Counsel Bielman pointed this out yesterday
in an informal opinion prepared at the re-
quest of Corporation Counsel Brundage.

PASTOR VOICES PROTEST
Says Exhibition of Fight Pictures
Would Degrade Public Morals.
To the Editor Of The Tribune

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: Unparalleled space has been given
by the press to the Reno fiasco- May We
who have to share in this national disgrace
have the courtesy of a word? The exhibit
ton of fight pictures in New York will
not probably result in race riot, but the
moral degradation of thousands is abso-
lutely certain. Base passions and brutal
instincts will be aroused. All that is vulgar
and beastly will be stirred up by continued
fight talk. I want to see the good old
Tribune solidly on the side of an aroused
public sentiment against these criminal ex-
hibitions. They certainly fall easily within
the pale of things forbidden as degrading
to public morals We could not save the
city of Reno from disgracing herself, but
we should try to save New York from this
impending humiliation.
1 believe that the newspapers will give
fair hearing to those who protest against
the exhibition of these pictures in New
York. JOHN S. ALLEN,

Church

MORAL EFFECT OF FIGHTING.
Tar Of The Tribune

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The great fiasco at Reno was n trav-
esty upon sport and a mockery upon the
white mans courage and prowess. II
should be effaced from the memories of
both races To re-enact ii daily in any en-
lightened community would be sad COM
mentary upon our Wanted civilization
The best element in both races protests
against the perpetuation of the brutality
of Reno upon the stage. 1t naturally
awakens the spirit of resentment in any
race with human instincts to witness a fell
low raceman hammered by & higher or
lower race representative. Johnson. JEFF
fries and those who exploited brutality
should pause and shudder when they re-
member their gains are stained with human
blood

fries fight pictures. Mr. Trotter's letter
says in part:
There are many who feel that all this I'M
precedented hula baloo against these pict-
iIres is due to the fact that colored man
was victor over white man. This belief is
due to the alleged fact that you attempted
No such countrywide movement against
any former prizehghts. |. therefore, while
not approving prizehghts. ask you pub
licly the following questions:
Did you ever before make any such at
tempt to prevent prizehght pictures from
being exhibited?
Would YOU have made the same far
reaching attempt If Jeffres had won over
