THERE'S NO RISK.
If This Medicine Does Not Benefit
You Pay Nothing.

A physician who made a speciality
of stomach troubles, particularly
dyspepsia, after years of study per-
fected the formula from which Rex
all Dyspepsia Tables are made.
Our experience with Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets leads us to believe
them to be the greatest remedy
known for the relief of acute in
digestion and chronic dyspepsia
Their ingredients are soothing and
healing to the inflamed membranes
of the stomach. They are rich in
pepsin, one of the greatest digestive
aids known to medicine. The re-
lief they afford is almost immediate.
Their use with persistency and reg
ularity for short time brings about
a cessation of the pains caused by
stomach disorders.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will in
sure healthy appetite, aid digestion
and promote nutrition AS evidence
of our sincere faith in Rexan Dys-
pepsia Tablets, we ask you to try
them at our risk. If they do not
give you entire satisfaction, we will
return you the money you paid us
for them, without question or form
ality. They come in three sizes.

and friend. Should the standpatters
defeat this resolution, democratic
legislatures will do the next best
thing by adopting the Oregon plan
until election by popular vote can
be legalized by congress-, which is
certain to happen eventually as the
sun is to rise again.
In both houses democrats are try
ing to enforce economy in the pub
lie expense that labor may be lightly
burdened'-the old and correct
Jefferson doctrine.

DEMOCRATS INDORSE Reel
PROCITY.

Free trade with the 100000 of
Fillipinos, limited only by certain re-
quirements as to sugar and tobacco,
went into effect little more than
year and six months ago.
1t had been most vigorously op-
posed for years, in fact ever since
ed disorder therein. AS an agricul-
tural country and the home of much
cheap labor, it was predicted that
the PHILIPPINES could subject us to a
ruinous competition that would be
fatal to many of our industries.
But instead of causing the cata-
clysm foretold. this reasonable tar
if arrangement became operative
without perceptible effects either in
apprehension and loss of confidence
or in actual influence on our national
prosperity. On the contrary, it has
merely opened to Americans new OPP
pOrtunities for money making.
We are selling more than mil
lion dollars worth of foodstuffs a
year to the Filipinos now, nearly
and clothing, more than three mil
lion dollars worth of steel products,
hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth of paper and of boots and
shoes and harness. These and null
titudinous other items show a great
increase, some having doubled in
eighteen months. And Americans,
not being in business for their health,
are making a profit on all these
things.
While dire prophecies are now
made relative to the effect, not of
free trade with the 7,35S,O0O Cana
dians, but of reciprocal tariff conces-
sions on certain articles, we may be
sure that the actual operation of such
an arrangement would be attended
with a business disturbance too i'm
perceptible to be noted. No argu-
.ment in behalf of reciprocity could
possibly be as convincing as an actual
test of the arrangement. Nothing
could do as much to silence standpat
calamity bowling as reciprocity in
practical operation for eighteen
months.
What might, with greater reason
than in the case of the tariff board
bill, be described as tariff differences
among house democrats developed at
their reciprocity caucus, but it is
gratifying to note that the Canadian
arrangement was approved by a large
majority, and it may be assumed that
those opposed to it will be bound by
the caucus decision. If we ever get
reciprocity the position of Speaker
to-be Clark and those who supported
him will be handsomely indicated.
Such temporarily injurious effects
from the arrangement as now be
foreseen would be confined almost
exclusively to the border states, and
it happens that those are the very
states which relatively at least,
would also benefit most largely by
the arrangement, so that loss and
gain would be equalized
me fact that considerable body
of sentiment in England opposes the
on alleged patriotic
grounds furnishes us new stand
point from which to make appraisal
of reciprocity's probable value, not
only to Americans but to Canadians.
England quick discernment of det-
riment to herself in the arrangement
ought to sharpen American percep-
tons as to it's benefits to themselves. |

THIS is DISCRIMINATION.

The representative of coal firm
at Centerville, Iowa, was here one
day last week and called at this Of
flee. In a conversation concerning
the price of coal and the transpor-
tation charges he stated that the
railroads charge $1.10 per ton from
Centerville to Grant City, and 70
cents per ton to St. Joseph. The
distance from Centerville to St. JOS
eph over the 20" is fully one-third
greater than it is to Grant City. If
that doesn't spell discrimination in
box-car letters we would like some
good speller to tell us what it does
spell.-Worth County Times.

Former Secretary of the Treas
ury, Leslie M. Shaw, in a Philadel.
phia interview took positive ground
against the Canadian trade policy
of the administration, although ad-
hitting that formerly he was one
of those republicans who advocated
reciprocity as the "handmaiden of
protection. He said that while the
promise may have had some merit
at the polls it proved to be liability
in both congress and the executive
departments. "Once in about so Of
ten," remarked Mr. Shaw, the coun-
try goes democratic, but this is the
first time the republican party ever
went democratic. "-Keokuk Gate

The answer which Judge Kenyon
makes regarding his stand on the
Canadian treaty as proposed by
President Taft does not strike us as

but it must be fair. Of course. Did
you ever hear any public servant
say that he wanted any thing that
was unfair? We all think we are
fair, and the other fellow is fair just
as far as he agrees with us, and
where he disagrees we think he is
unfair. Judge Kenyon will be bet

off and examine the proposed treaty
and say what he thinks of it, then
let the people say what they think
of his being fair.'

OPPOSITION TO
SUNDAY LAW

Senator Ed. Quinn's Sunday law
went through the upper house this
morning on third reading with but one
dissenting vote, that of Baker.
The bill gives to the supervisors
the power to open theaters on Sunday
If they see fit.
Scarcely had the news of the pas
sage of the bill in the Senate flashed
across the hallway to where in the
House of Representative there were
some Of the members engaged in COM
mittee work, than the Rev. Stephen l..
Desha, House chaplain, was heard to
lift his voice in condemnation Of the
law. He does not believe that such a
bill should pass unless the theaters
are to allow free admission, objecting
to enterprise for profit on Sunday.
The expression of opinion among
those representative who happened
to be present, however, was in favor
of the bill.

BOTH JUDGES
DISQUALIFIED?

There would appear to be doubt of
the jurisdiction of either of the United
States District Court judges over the
Federal building site condemnation
case.
Judge Dole's wife is a stockholder
in E. o. Hall & Son, Ltd, one of the
defendants.
Judge Clemons was member of the
firm of Thompson, Clemons & Wilder
when it figured as counsel for e. o..
Hall e Son after the filing of the suit.
AS to Mrs. Doles interest affecting
her husbands qualification to sit in
the case it is said the matter can be
remedied by her disposal Of her stock.
With regard to Judge Clemons no
Federal case has thus far been found
ION all fours" with it, as the lawyers
say. The Supreme Court of Hawaii,
two or three years ago ruled that a
judge was not shorn of jurisdiction
on case in which he had appeared as
attorney or counselor. But the legis-
lature disposed of that ruling by pass
ing a law specifically disqualifying a
judge in such circumstances.

When Senator-elect Works of Cali
fornia declared that the proposed re-
call of the judiciary was Reform gone
mad" he expressed a feeling which
seems to be shared by a great many
of the ablest lawyers and judges of
the state. One of the best commenta-
ries upon the effect that the recall
might have upon the judiciary-and
the recall has now become law-was
made when a San Francisco lawyer
pointed out that, in the halycon days
of the graft prosecution had the judges
found Patrick Calhoun guiltless, they
would probably have been recalled,
while if those same judges should now
find Calhoun guilty there would un-
doubtedly be a strong movement for
the exercise of the recall. This by
way of emphasizing the fact that pub
lie sentiment is more likely to dictate
decisions in California than is the law
unless the judge concerned should
prefer to fall with the law rather than
sustain himself with the people.

ally fought for or against the bill, the

SEWER RATES
KNOCKED OUT

In a decision of the Supreme Court,
written by Chief Jusice Robertson
his first deliverence since installation
the levying and collection of sewer
rates by the Superintendent of Public
Works is declared illegal, as being an
unconstitutional exercise of the taxing
powers. Incidentally the court intimates
that the fines prescribed by the city
plumbing ordinance for failure to con-
meet with sewers when available and
the similar board of health regulation
constitute a tax and are therefore sub
ject 10 the principles which govern the
imposition and assessment of taxes.

The argument pro and con as to

fast and sometimes wrathy, among
the good citizens of San Francisco,
