The presidents bold and unexpected
move for wide reciprocity with Canada has
stripped off the masks worn by many
sham advocates of progressive policies. II

government, especially TARIFF reform.
These men we're really indifferent 10 the
abuses which had grown into the tariff
Their masked purpose was the defeat Of
the republican party and the ousting OF
the present administration. They were
making use OF the tariff question as one
means of carrying political schemes into
effect.
What has happened is not at all TO their
liking. on the contrary. II threatens 10
upset their plans and thwart their most
cherished projects. Hence sullen silence
or artful attempts to obscure the real
situation and deceive the public about the
nature OF the new issue forced upon con-
gress by the president.
1t is a revelation OF dupllcty and parti-
san trickery which will not be lost upon
the people. They Will look beneath the

leaders shouting for reforms which can be

ontorv Against Dirty Streets.

A source of common complaint in
American cities is carelessly Kept
streets. People have come to realize
the Importance of clean thoroughfares
and to demand the best attention OF
them that their public servants are
able TO give. II is a matter OF civic
pride to some extent, but not wholly
though such an actuating influence
would be entirely laudable. 1t should
be chiefly a matter of sanitation. Peo-
pie understand now better than they
once did that accumulations Of dead
matter cannot lie upon streets without
giving off germs of disease. And we
have become quite insistent on this
subject of sanitation.
In New York the other day physi-
clan protested in a letter to one OF the
newspapers because the snow that had
fallen on a Sunday was allowed to re-
main on the streets until the following
Thursday. He declared it made
filthy condition, forming mixture OF
various kinds of dirt, droppings and
automobile grease that was not only
bad when splashed on the clothing of
pedestrians, but "aggravates attacks
of influenza, pneumonia and diseases
of the respiratory tracts, now so prev
alent." Coming from a medical man,
this testimony should have more
weight than if it came from some lay
man who was Just kicking" on the
dirty streets. 1t is time people were
seeing to it that this demand is met
to the full extent of funds provided
and that their street cleaning organ
ization be made really effective.

slavery, legally termed peonage.

method known to escape sentence. and ap-
poaied twice to President Taft for Glenn

WHY HESITATE?
An Offer that Involves no Money
Risk If You Accept it

We are so positive our remedy will
completely relieve constipation, no
matter how chronic it may be, that
We offer to furnish it free of all cost
if it fails.
Constipation is commonly caused
by weakness of the nerves and mus
cles of the large intestine. To expect
a cure you must therefore tone up
and strengthen those organs and re-
store them to healthier activity.
We want you to try Rexall Order
lies on our guarantee. They are
eaten like candy, and are particular
ly good for children. They seem to
act directly on the nerves and mus
Giles of the bowels They apparently
have a neutral action on the other
organs. They do not purge or cause
other inconvenience. We will refund
your money if they do not overcome
chronic or habitual constipation and
thus aid to relieve the myriads of as
sociate or dependent chronic ailments.
