acting tariff bills. This is hardly
conceivable. If the President had an!
assurance to this effect, 1t IS not likely
that he would make any recon-
mendations concerning the tariff. The
less tariff legislation the present Con
gress accomplishes the better it viii
suit the President. One clement Of
his party-to wit, the standpattei
diyision-would be scandalized by his
approval of any Democratic tariff bill
On the other hand, there is a large
element of the party, the element that
stands for principle and progress
and is not living upon special privi'
lege, that was disappointed and dis
pleased> with the President for his
.vetoes. Mr.. Taft doubtless discoy-
cred this in his recent journey thro
the West. The President is some
what in predicament Of the man who
was hemmed in by the devil on one
side and the deep blue sea on the
other, and it is in no wise the duty OF
the Democratic party at this partic-
ular time to depart from its well-de-
fined line OF policy in order to relieve
Mr.. Taft of his political embarrass-
ments, however much they might per-
sonaIly desire TO oblige' him.
Mr.. Underwood, the chairman OF
the Committee on Ways and Means
and the Democratic leader, seems to
have made it plain that his side of
the House of Representatives will
keep the tariff issue in the forefront
during the. SESSION. If any party
ever received from the people a COM
to do particular thing, the
Democratic party in Congress surely
has been commissioned to revise the
tariff downward. In the eXtraordln-
airy session of the present Congress
called by President Taft, that COM
mission was faithfully performed.
That there was no practical relief to
the people in the reduction of taxes
made In the bills which were passed
was no fault of the Democratic party
The President assumed the RESPONSE
bility for their defeat, and he will pay
the price. II the Democratic party
in Congress continues through the
coming session to send tariff reduc-
ton bills TO him and he continues
to veto them, it will make it more
and more certain that the next pop
ular movement will put a President
in the White House who will sign
bills reducing the tariff taxation ac-
cording to the demand Of the people
and according to the pledge Of both
political parties.-Baltimore Sun.

WHY DELAY?

Probably the most frequently quot
ed epigram in the English language
is "Procrastination is the thief OF
time; we might go further, and say
it is likewise the thief Of opportunity
The city has gone to the expense OF
obtaining and compiling the data pre-
paratory to the proceedings for eX-
tending the corporate limits. The
members of the Special Committee,
the members of the committee on
Finance and General Laws; the cor
poration attorney, and the city enSin-
eer, have all devoted great deal OF
time and thought to the subject, and
the members of the city council gen.
orally have studied the situation deep
IL. The ordinance comes before the
council with the recommendation OF
the Joint committee on Finance and
General Laws that 1t be passed. The
report is not the outcome OF one or
two sessions of the Joint Committee.
The ordinance has been before the
committee for more than year.
There have been numerous meetings
and conferences with the city engin-
eer and the corporation attorney; and
considering the conservatism and
caution which characterizes the ac-
ton of these gentlemen in regard to
the city's affairs, there is no room TO
doubt that they have presented an or
dinance that will protect and pro-
mote the welfare and prosperity OF
the city. Everything is in readiness
for action and now is the time and
the opportunity. Then why delay?
1t is argued that the city will be in
a better position to undertake annex
alton at some indefinite time, in the
dim and distant future; but why and
when?
On the contrary, it must be appar-
ent to every person who has gwen
the subject any amount of thought,
that every day of delay is making the
task more arduous and expensive.
In the first place, after the coming
session of the legislature, Alexandra
County will, no doubt. have a sepa-
rate representatives. the legislature.
from whom we can expect an attempt
to make the annexation statute more

in every way possible.
But we are confronted with the
more immediate danger that the coun-
ty will have itself incorporated into
city of the first class. In this event
we would lose all hope OF ever eN-
tending the corporate limits, as We
could not then take a part OF the
county without taking the whole

On the whole, it would seem wis

WHY DOESN'T

Heart is Broken.

Chicago, Jan. q
Little maid OF old Chicago,
You will miss me when am gone;
Though your father had a million,
Still know you will be forlorn,
If L had my arm around you,
You would see my love is true,
Little maid of old Chicago,
Your count still loves you!
Count De Beaufort today admitted
that the last chance of reconcillia-
ton with his wife was gone and that
his cherished conviction that her old
love for him would return, was a
dream. He then wrote the above lines
insisting he still loves his wife for
herself and not because of her mil
lions.
"lt is not the Kilgallens' wealth that
want" said the count. 1T is my
wife. My heart Is broken. But 1
think that If could hold Irma's hand
again for five minutes all would be
well Tnd we would be happily re-
united"

CERTAIN TO
Be KILLED
AS There Are Assassins both
Among Their Friends
And Their Enemies.
BY United Press Wire.

Badajose, Spain, Jan. 2.-The pro-
visional rulers of Portugal, particu-
larly Foreign Minister Machada, are
in danger Of assassination from both
the Radicals in their own party and
from those fostering the growing
monarchial movement, according to
persons arriving here today from Lis
bon.
These persons say that president
Braga and his cabinet have fairly
firm hold on the situation but that
their lives are in danger. There are
said to be hundreds of republican
fanatics who helped to establish the
republic but who are now aggrieved
that the promised Utopia was not i'm
mediately realized. They are accused
of having sinister designs upon the
ministry.
The ministers are constantly re-
ceiving anonymous death threats. All
of them are under heavy guard when
ever appearing in public.

Stomach Sufferers
Squander Millions
In Search of Relief.
Trial Package of Stuart's Dyspepsia
TabIets Free.


The world Is full OF dsordered
stomachs and 80 per cent. of the
money spent upon physicians and
drugs goes in an attemput to cure the
stomach.
People are made TO believe that in
order to gain health they must doctor
their stomachs and use cathartics. so
the doctor gets his fee for the stom-
ach treatment and the druggist for
the physic, until the savings of a life
time are exhausted and yet no cure.
Let's be reasonable.
The sick stomach Is in every case
the result of oyer-eating, hurried mas
tication and improper choice of foods.
The mucous lining all the wav down
the food tract loses its sensitiveness,
and when food Is forced down the
muscles fail to respond. They do not
churn the food as they should. The
glands no longer give out gastric Juice
to dissolve the food and render it cap
able of assimilation, The man has
become dyspeptic.
There Is one sure way and only one
to bring positive relief. Put into that
stomach of yours the very elements
that its lacks to get that food into
liquid form. 1t takes pepsin. diastase
golden seal and other ferments to ac-
complish this. The healthy stomach
contains these elements. The dyspep-
tic stmach lacks part or all of them.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet is made up
of just what the dyspeptic stomach
lacks-nature's digestives.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not
medicine, not drug, nor a cathar-
tic. They do not cure anybody of
anything but dyspepsia and indiges-
ton and such ailments as arise from
poorly digested food.
While they digest the food the stom-
ach recuperates. The mucous mem
brane is coming out Of its stupor. the
gastric juice is coming to the surface,
the muscles are regaining their pow
er. Every organ of the body takes
on new life, the skin gains color, and
the eyes are no longer tinged with
yellow. You live.
Why doctor and why drug yourself?
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will take
care of your food While nature cures
you.
Try a box at your druggists, so
cents. Or II you prefer free trial
package before buying, send your
name and address today, f. A. Stuart
