AS 70 TIE SENATORSUIp

lis strange how many men are
entertaining the delusion that thew
are the only rightful heirs appar-
ent to the Senatorship Mr.. Clar-
encc Wayland Watson must sur

What boots it that some of them
contributed neither of money nor

Watson. What s the odds if others
are as much in sympathy with the
political ideals overwhelmingly OK
pressed at the polls as is a bull dog,
with a tom cato The mere fact
that they want the homer seems
to suffice to most of them. and
they exhibit no dclicacy in letting
their wants be konwn.
Consistently with the fight this
paper has been making since Col
onel Roosevelt mauguratcd the new
era, 1t hopes that the mantle will
TALL upon a man who most COM
plctely cmbOdics the ideals of the
Progressive party, man who
spent and was spent unstintingly
and willingly in the darkest hour
that the people themselves might
rule. Now. that the cause of the
bosses has been so signally rcpudi-
atcd, 1t would be travesty, a step
backward. to place the wreath upon
the brow Of anyone Of their sym
pathlzcrs-thc victory would be
thrown away.

dangerous shoals over which it had

bors which it had to enter.

Negro newspaper is hazardous

-. The fate Of The Leader has more
than once threatened The Advo-
cate, and it's editor will state frank

thus far only by the frequent sac
rlfice Of personal means. How
much longer he will have the in

rights, is yet to be seen. But be it
week, a month or year, it will
never entertain anything but re-
greet for the passing Of such fair
fighting tt}biie- val as The Noun
tain Leader proved itself to be.
Though the two papers differed at
times in politics and saw great
subjects from different viewpoints,
the relations existing between them
were Of the most cordial character
and in the death Of one the other
could find no pleasure, the ever
present danger to itself being ac-
centuated BY the unhappy event.

BABY's TERRIBLE SUFFERING

his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch and
burn. and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began in pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell off. and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come off when l removed his
shirt.
We tried great many remedies,
but nothing would help him, till a
friend induced me to try the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. used the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment but a short
time before l could see that he was
improving, and in six weeks time he
was entirely cured. He had suffered

Association for the Study and Preven-
ton of tuberculosis as the most ad-
vanced legislation in the campaign
against tuberculosis that has been
enacted by any state In the United
States, If not by any country in the
world, is found in a bill recently
passed by the New Jersey legislature
and signed by Governor Wilson. The
new law provides that tuberculosis
patients who refuse to obey the regu-
latlons laid down by the state board
OF health concerning the prevention OF
their disease, and thus become men
ace to the health of those with whom
they associate shall be compulsorily
segregated by order of the courts. in
institutions provided for this purpose.
II such patient refuses to obey the
rules and regulations of the institu-
ton in which he is placed, he may "be
isolated or separated from other per-
sons and restrained from leaving the
institution" The law further pro-
v1des that all counties in the state
OF New Jersey shall within six months
from April LIST make provision in spe-
clal institutions for the care of all
persons having tuberculosis In these
counties. The state treasurer will SUBJ
sidize each county to the extent Of

WHY HE USED THE BAD WORD.
Little Matt Explained That the Two

But the father was obdurate, and
assigned to Matt, Jr., his 6-year-old
and youngest hopeful, the task of
caring for the pigs. This has proved
"a hard task, and little Matt has been
having his troubles during the hot
