There is no part Of the land which Is free

Some Results OF Catarrh.
Even Slight Cases OF Catarrh Have Terrible
Consequences.

Every case Of catarrb, of course, is not
fatal Nor does every cuse result in con.
sumption, or bronchitis, but nevertheless
they are very frequent No man or woman
knows what his or hor case Of catarrh will
lead to. Men Of robust health have sue
cum1ed to resulting ia consumption and par
ual idiocy Women OF strong vitality have
become nervous wrecks and victims Of bron.
cAltjs. Your good health Is not always a
preventative against the catarrh germs
The more You feel sure there Is no danger
Of tho catarrh resulting in disease more
serious, the more danger there is simply be
cause you will neglect yourself This hap
pens in hundreds oi cases and wo see it ro-
corded almost daily in the letters wo receive.
'If had only started the cure earlier - is a
very frequent expression, showing that our
warning Is not fancifoi, but based on fearful
reality
Even slight cases Of catarrh may result
In nose cancer than which there is hardly
more pltiul aiillction in this world.

Changing Inauguration Date.

Another effort is being made to
change the date OF the inauguration
OF presidents from the fourth OF
March TO the third Thursday in April.
Without being blindly devoted 10
hidebound tradition one may ask
why Thursday and why April?"
The little sample that has been
given US during the past week is a
sufficient guaranty that April can be
FUZZY as capricious as March in the
manner in which she deals out wealth
er. The present bill is introduced
by Representative Henry OF Texas.
and il may be remarked in passing
that there is a great difference be-
tween the climate of Texas and that
OF Washington. A bill of this char
acter nearly passed the house during
the last session, and Mr. Henry Is
confident he can secure a sufficient
number Of supporters for his mea-
sure to effect its enactment az this
session
His resolution also provides that
the terms OF members OF both houses
OF congress shall begin on the last
Thursday in April instead OF on
March 4. OF course, the weather con-
ditions on March 4 will be advanced
as the chief reason for the change.

that this slight extension Of the
short session of congress could also

The Case of Commissioner Bear.

1t is a source of sincere as well as
general regret that there should have
been any development designed to
cast reflection upon a member of the
new municipal commission of Rock
Island, particularly as it occurs just
as that body has fairly entered upon
its duties. Il is unfortunate for the
sake of the prin ciples of the commits
sion form and it is unfortunate be-
cause Of the attending tendency to
jar public confidence. II would indeed
be deplorable If any citizen, unless
actuated solely by a sense of duty, and
in no way by personal animus or po-
litical disappointment, should have in
voIved the good name of a citizen Ike
Jonas Bear in allegations Of violation
of the election laws, under which he
was chosen ar the recent election
There are two things in Mr.. Bears
favor in the face of any charge that
may be made against him. One is his
long and upright life in the community.
The other is his inexperience in the
game of politics - and the game of pol
itics is inevitable where elections oc-
cur. The people. a large percentage
of whom felt sufficient confidence in
Mr.. Bear TO nominate and elect him
one Of their commissioners, will, il is
needless 70 say, be loath 10 believe
that he has been either Intentionally
or technically guilty of violating any
lazy, much less committing any crime.
Mr. Bears chief asset in the campaign
was his reputation for honesty-his good
name-and he whorobs him of that takes
from him that beside which all else is
trash. and until IL is proven 10 the
contrary Jonas Bear is entitled to the
benefit Of every doubt.

The Referendum.

Some of the members Of the house
at Springfield do not want to adjourn
until they carry out program of leg
islation which they outline. It in
cludes 19 items of what might be
c1assed as important legislation and
any one of which is equal to a week OF
wrangle and argument. One Of the
measures, however, for which there is
insistent demand is that providing for
the initiative and referendum, which
has already passed the senate in a
rather unsatisfactory form. The peo-
pie declared for this measure by their
ballots at the last state election, and
legislators will do well to occasionally
listen to the voice of the people and
act accordingly:
AS passed by the senate the resolu-
ton provides as follows:
The initiative-The people may Pc
tition the legislature to pass law. If
such petition is signed by per cent
(about B2,000)of the voters of the
whole state, and it is not passed by the
legislature as 1t stands, the secretary
of state is required to submit the law,
by title, to the voters of the state at
the next general election, and if ap-
proved by them it is enacted. But II
it is taken up in the legislature and
reaches final passage, 1t must receive
a vote Of opefourth of the members
of each house in favor, else 1t cannot
be submitted to the people.
The Referendum-If the people
should object to any law passed by
the legislature they may file petit
ton OF per cent of the electors
(about $4,000 now against it within 80
days after its passage and the law will
then be held in check to await the de-
cision Of the voters at the next gen
eral election.
But the people cannot vote on ap-
preparations for the current expenses
of the government or existing institu-
tons. Neither can they vote on any
measure which the general assembly
may term an emergency measure"
and which is passed by a two-thirds
vote Of the members of each house.
General-The precedent of requiring
a majority of all votes cast in the
election" necessary to enact a law,
which has made the amendment of
the constitution practically impossible,
is not followed and all measures are
to be rejected or adopted by "a ma
jority of those voting on the PROPOSE
ton"
One-half OF all the petitioners must
reside outside of Cook county. The
governor, attorney general and secre-
tary of state and made a board to
pass upon the sufficiency of petitions.
The amendments apply only TO stat
ute laws and the people cannot initi-
ate amendments to the constitution.

cheer. He is not the fellow who will
be hit by reciprocity. He will. be help
ed. The lumber trust and the paper
trust are the ones who will feel the
weight of this measure"
RECIPROCITY ACT IMPROVED.
Practically the only change made in
the Canadian reciprocity agreement by
the democrats in the house was the ad-
dition of a clause authorizing the pres
ident, by executive act, TO reduce the
tariff of this country, on any item,
whether included in the treaty or not,
whenever Canada is willing to put them
on its free list. In other words, we
express a willingness TO move toward
free trade with Canada as fast as Can
ada may desire. This invitation applies
only to Canada, however, and the OBJ
ject is the promotion of the friendliest
possible commercial intercourse be-
tween the United States and our neigh
Dor On the north.
INCOME TAX IS CLOSE.
The income tax amendment to the
constitution, which was a plank in the
last democratic national platform, has
now been ratified by so states. To in
sure its acceptance So states are neces-
sary. Only four states-Louisiana,
New hampshire. Rhode Island and
West Virginia-have declared them
selves in the negative. This leaves u
states from which to secure the neces-
sary five votes to make the amendment
a part of the constitution. An income
tax is practically assured.

be used as an effective argument.
The necessity of a longer session
was abundantly demonstrated during
the closing days of the last session.
There is great deal of reason,
however, in the argument for a later
inauguration day which will fall
when the weather Is at least warmer
and the danger from exposure less.
OF course ii is not within the range
Of human possibility to foretell just
what day in the year will always be
the best one for the ceremonies that
have become part Of the Inaugural
ton of a president, but it is safe TO
count upon a fact that in the month
of March a large percentage of them
