If You Are Suffering the Tor
lures of Indigestion and Have
to Wait Until Some One Runs
to the Drug Store for a Box of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
FREE TRIAL PACKAGE.

The instant relief afforded poor overbmdened
stomachs by the Of a Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablet should be a reason for constantly keeping
a boz on hand-at home and at the office as well.
Stuart's Tablet not only aids digestion, but
1t actually does the dgesting itself. In other
words. 1t furnishes exactly the same elements
for the digestion Of food as the natural juices of
the stomach. The stomach, therefore, is not
called upon to do any Of the work except to
churn the juices furnished by the tablet and
then push the digested food along into the in
testines where 1t will be still further digested and
the strength taken up By the blood to be carried
to the muscles and nerves Of the body.
So by taking a Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablet after
a meal you give the stomach the rest 1t needs in
which to mend itself and grow well again And
you absolutely prevent the souring Of any food
the formation OF any poisonous gases belching,
foul breath or constipation.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have done more for
humanity and have caused more rejoicing than
any other one agency that can be named.
Every druggist everywhere sells and personally
recommends Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. The
price Is 80 cents per box. II you FIRST wish to

A Vice Commission Asked For.


The unanimous petition Of the
Washington Presbytery to the Presi-
dent for the appointment of a vice
commission for the National Capital
was not based on 'generalities," but
on very specific statements Of first
hand information as to the habitual
reinforcement Of four laws for the
protection of morals. including the law
against unlicensed liquor selling in
brothels. which The Star has vainly
asked the police to enforce. Informa-
ton about these evils has been given
in vain to the Commissioners and police.
and will now be given to their supe-
rior, the President, and, IL necessary
to secure effective redress, to Con-
gress.

the movement Of red lights into resi-
Dental districts" and to the very door
OF churches and to the very borders
Of the Capitol, which last Congress
should especially resent by supporting

main objection is that segregation it
self is a wholesale official crime. and
the Commissioners and police have
themselves court OF re-
peals to license what the law pro-
hibits. for periodical payments to the
police pension fund. Does any one
suppose the police can be impartial in
law enforcement II financially bene-
flied by tolerated vice?
Chicago and Minneapolis have both
been greatly benefited. especially in an
improved public sentiment. by vice
commissions that have recently re-
ported, and Iowa has invented an "in
junction law" that has driven every
segregated district from that state
and surely the National Capital ought
at least to demand an investigation of
the facts, both as to the evil here and
methods that promise mitigation.

ATTACKS
THE COMMERCE COURT
Senator From Washington In
PRODUCES Bill to Wipe Out
the Tribunal.

Senator PoindeXter Of Washington, who
comes from that intermountain territory
which is up in arms against the Com
merce Court because of its action in en-
joining the interstate commerce commits
sion from enforcing it's order under the
long and short haul clause of the inter-
state commerce law, proposed in bill
offered yesterday to wipe the Commerce
Court out of existence.
And he took occasion to pay his re-
spects to the court by saying, in part:
with one or two exceptions the Com
merce Court in every important case
where the petition was filed by a rail-
road company has enjoined the orders Of
the interstate commerce commission. 1t
has destroyed the effectiveness of this
commission.
Discusses the Spokane Case.
THE Spokane case" continued the
senator, referring to the case involving
the long and short haul which brought
the Commerce Court into action, was
carefully considered by the commission
for years. Conclusions were tested by
application to actual business before or
dered into effect. The order in this case
remedied in part an egregious injustice
have for years collected from the people
of the interior. and especially Of the
Rocky mountain states, millions of dol
lars for paper transportation which had
no. existence in fact. The order of the
commerce commission would, In large
measure. have prevented this abuse in
the future. And yet the raw Commerce
Court, without special experience. on a
brief hearing. enjoins this carefully con-
sidered and thoroughly tested order.
Erroneous Deductions.
'.As an example of mistaken premises
and erroneous deductions the opinion of
the Commerce Court in this case Is eyre
gious and conspicuous. 1t proceeds upon
the false assumption that the order OF
the commission did not fix a certain and
definite rate to be charged. The order
fixed a certain proportion of the rates
now in effect, which is a fixed and def
mite rate. The court argues that the
commission exceeded it's authority i'm
making this order general, so that the
charge for the short haul shall exceed
only by q certain percentage the
charge for the long haul, both as to the
schedules now in force and any to be
hereafter established Clearly and mani
testify the commission has the authority
to do this and 1t is its duty to do this
under the long and short haul clause OF
the interstate commerce act"

Against Proposed Alley.

The question which excited deepest in
terest was the apparent intention Of the
Commissioners to override the objections
Of large part Of the abutting property
owners in the alley question. If such
action as this Is to be allowed to pass
without a fight, one member suggested.
1t was hard to understand just where
other residents of the heights would
stand in the matter of losses If the Com
missioners decided to have an alley cut
in the rear of their property.
A resolution was passed declaring that
If the alley is made it will be great in
justice to the abutting property owners,
who have opposed it. A decision was
also reached to push the matter further
and do all that the association can to
prevent the Commissioners from finally
ordering the alley in question built
A manual training school for the
heights is greatly desired. and the asso-
citation received a report from the school
committee that every effort be put for
ward to get such school. The resolu-
ton had previously been introduced by

Members OF the Columbia Heights Cfti-

ought to affiliate with the Federation of

meeting last evening in st. Stephens
parish hall the Columbia Association de-
cided to reconsider the action Of the
meeting of one month ago when a ma
jority vote decided that the organization
should participate in tho work of the
federation and accredit g. delegate to it.
This action was taken In the face Of the
statement by Charles G.. Lancaster that If
the members at subsequent meetings adj
hered to policy of investigating the de-
cisions Of the majority at preceding meet
tngs and reconsidering action taken then
tho assertion never would get any

The apparent intention Of the Commits

ed. had told Of the work Of the Northern
Dispensary and Emergency Hospital. and
Of the large number of patients treated
there. the association voted the sum of

clared that the building inspectors office
refused to do anything in the matter
other than to say that it is within the

LEARNING ENGLISH
The Simplified English confuses,
EmbarasseS, Perplexes, Discon-
certS, DISCREPANCIES, Com
p1eXeS, DiSarrangeS.

A foreigner asked the meaning of the
word ''crowd" when he was told:
"That just depends in what sense
you are using it. If you are speaking
of crowd of ships you would term
them fleet, while a fleet of sheep
would be called flock. A flock of girls
you should call a bevy, while bevy of
wolves is called pack. A pack of
thieves is called gang and a gang Of
angels is called host. A host of por-
poises is called shoal and shoal of
buffaloes is called herd. A herd of
children is called troupe, while q
troupe of cartridges is called a covey,
and covey of beauties is called a gal
axy, while galaxy of ruffians is call
ed horde. You should speak of a
horde of rubbish as heap and a heap
of oxen as a drove, while a drove of
tramps is called mob, and a mob of
whales Is called school, q school of
worshippers is called congregation
and congregation of engineers is
called a corps, a corps of robbers is
called band and band of bees is
called swarm while swarm of peo-
pie is called a crowd"
The foreigner gasped, passed bis
hand over his brow and murmured
smething about the English language.

Green County Republicans Make a
Surprising Return to Queries

Excerp from Omaha World-Herald
EDITORIAL:
A poll made of Green county, Iowa.
Republicans, by Republican leaders in
that county, is being widely COM
mented on as showing the unpopular
ity of President Taft among his own
party followers in the west.
One hundred and twenty letters
were sent out to representative Re-
publjcans in all portions of the coun-
ty, and ninety-seven answers were
received. The questions presented
and the answers were as follows:
Who is your choice for Republican
candidate for President?
First choice Taft 20, Cummins IS,
LaFollette 81.
Second choice-Taft IA, Cummins
20, LaFollette SO.
If Taft should be nomina ted, will
you support him? Yes 2l, no 81,
blank II.
Do you approve of the Payne-Ald-
rich bill? Yes -, no So.
Do you approve of Taft's action in
the Ballinger matter? Yes 2, no 81.
Do you favor conservation as taught
by Roosevelt and followed by Pinchot
or as proposed by Taft and Ballenger:
Taft 2, Roosevelt 80.
Do you approve of the attack on DR..
Wiley? Yes 3. no 81.
Do you approve of Canadian Reel
procity as proposed by Taft? Yes 81,
no II.
Do you approve of the action of
Senator Cummins and other SO called
insurgents in opposing Canadian Reel.
procity? Yes Y, no Is.
Do you approve of Taft's veto OF
the wooden schedule as passed by the
last Congress? Yes 10, no 20.
Do you believe the Taft administra-
tion favors the farmer and laborers
or the trusts? Farmers 6, trusts So.
The editor of the World Herald
fairly concludes that the poll is signi-
ticant though not conclusive. In the
opinion of the writer, Mr. Taft's
friends have reason to maintain that
12O Republicans might be found in any
county who were unfriendly to him.
