formal announcement from Former
Governor Frank R. oGoding that he
will be a candidate for the place

his way in politics and in business

needed, and he made good wherever
he was tried. Should he be elected 10

JUDGE JAMES +. AILSHIE

Some one who is apparently in

At the preliminary hearing of the
case against the Capital News on
the charge of contempt of the SUI
preme court. Monday, the court
oevrruled the demurrer of the de-
PENDANTS as to the jurisdiction OF
the court or the sufficiency of the
evidence to make a probable case,
and held the accused for trial. A
stay of ten days was given, how
ever, for the defendants to pre-
pare fer trial.
AS it seems to be an attempt at
influencing the court for or against
the accused for any enc to make
much comment on the merits of
the case, there will net be much
newspaper criticism on either side,
until the case is settled The Cap
ital News, acting on the advic eof

Associated Press dispatch giving

they merely paid the whole bill in

1t has been said that mail order
houses never built any building in
a town except the freight shed, and
that they only contributed part to-
ward that. If the truth were known
the people in the town or section
really made the contribution and
the mail order houses got the credit.

How many people who buy from
a catalogue, through a mail order
house, ever stop to think Of the
freight they pay to have their
goods delivered, or consider the fact
that if the goods are not as repre-
sented they can't go down to the
store and make a complaint and get
the goods changed!
A concern in Chicago advertises
100 pounds of sugar for IS. This
looks like big bargain, but they
insist on good sized order, and to
get the 100 pounds of sugar the
purchaser orders lot of other
goods, many of them, if indeed not
all Of them. at higher price than
he or she could buy the same goods

it is perfectly safe to say that there
never was an order OF $50 to a
mail order house that, when the
freight was paid and the postage

chaser over the price that he could

REMEDY FOR BLOAT.

Cure the Worst Cases.


Cure the Worst Cases.
What is said tc be sure cure
for alfalfa bIoat in COWS. is CIV
en- here by a live stock lover who
has tried it a nuuber of times tho
past summer, With unvarying sue
cess 1t is so easy that it should be
able to reduce the heavy losses from
bloat, to practically nothing.
1t is merely to give the afflicted
COW a pint of kerosene immediate
ly upon discovering the bloated con-
dition; following this dose with an
other pint in minutes if the an
imal is not relieved The remedy
is so cheap and easy to get, SO
easy to give, that it can be had
ON any farm, ready for immediate
use. A number of valuable cows
have died On the tract from bloat-
ing caused by overeaing alfalfa, ap
parently when it is heavy with dew.
The Recorder suggests that this
remedy be tried by every farmer
who has cattle affected by bloating-
1t might save thousands of dollars
to these who are least able to lose
their stock.

CRAFTSMANSHIP.

To the citizen who has followed
our foreign relations during the
present administration, the message of
President Taft will hold nc over
statement Of TIE notable advance,
both along practical and ideal lines,
which has been made in this field dur
ing his term of Office.
It has become popular in certain
quarters to refer to the diplomatic
activities of the Taft administration
as of the dollar kind. The foreign
policy of any nation in this industrial
era must. out of regard for its
material we'll. being. be governed, to a
large extent. by the necessity of COM
mercial expansion. But splendid as
have been the achievements of Secre-
tary Knox in establishing better trade
relations between the United States
and the countries of Europe, Asia and
South America, that has not been done
at even the slightest sacrifice of those
ideal obligations which devolve upon
the state craft of great Christian
nation.
In fact, the United States, through
the medium of the Taft administra-
ton. has been the world leader in the
movement for the peaceful and equit-
able adjustment of disputes among
the nations. No matter if short
sighted senate negated the arbitrati IN
treaties negotiated with France and
Great Britain, the moral effect of the
agreement between the executive de-
partment Of these great nations was
tremendous.
The success which has attended our
good office in promoting peace in the
southern Americas, in protecting
troubled China from aggression. in
thwarting revolutions in the Antilles,
is another practical evidence of the
ideal service of our state department.
Then there are the humane reforms
of the sealing treaties, the settlement
