STOOD AS A BULWARK.

The Windsor Ledger of July 4th,
expresses our sentiments when it
says:
"Bryan's procedure at the Balti-
more convention has been severely
criticised, but we verify believe that
he stood as a great bulwark between
Democracy and Wall Street. between
the dominant spirit of Tammany
Hall and the Honest element of the
convention, between predatory
wealth and the people. Had it not
been for him we truly believe Muir
ply with his ninety Tammany con-
trolled delegates would dominat the
convention-done SO, if not alone,
certainly by coalition with Tom
Taggett, Sullivan, Guffey, and few
more equally eupnonious names Of
the same ink and species. The
thanks Of the people are due Mr..
Bryan for such a deliverance, how
ever much their help may be needed
for success. 1t will cause the con-
vention to go down in history as one
of the most remarkable. It will GER
tainly be the first in many day not
controlled by Tammany, in spite of
the fact they secured the temporary
chairman and are flirting with their
80 delegates with the naming Of thc
vice-president or something else Up
their sleeve. Mr.. Bryan has beer
accused of insincerity. We do MOI
share in this belief. On the contrary
we believe his great commanding
position in the political world ant
especially in the democratic party
is due solely to honesty, his sinceri
ty, and his unwavering and unsWer
wing stand for the people

"HE'RE GOING Eight ihEAD,'
Colonial Roosevelt and His iiai.enah?s
Saw They'll! Build New Party.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 3.-With
the Democratic national ticket IN
the field, Colonel Roosevelt and a
group of his lieutenants to-day took
up the work of laying the founda-
ton upon which they hope to build
a new party. Since the birth OF the
party in Chicago little has been done
as Colonel Roosevelt said he felt 1t
necessary to await the outcome at
Baltimore. The situation IN the
light Of the nomination Of Woodrow
Wilson was discussed at 2 confer
ence at Sycamore Hi which was at
tended by Senator Dixon, of Mon
tana, William Finn, of pittsbufg,
George W. Perkins and Frank A.
Munsev, of New York, and Z. 4.
Van Valkenburg, of Philadelphia.
The presence Of these meG at Sag
am0re Hill gave rise to reports that
the third party movement had sui
fered serious setback as result
OF the selection Of candidates by the
Democratic convention AID chat
Colonel Roosevelt s leaders were III
favor Of abandoning the fight.
Colonel Roosevelt denied this en-
phatically.
There was no thought of aban-
donine the fight" he said. These
men simply came to talk over the
the situation with me and to discuss
details Of the call for the national
convention
The statement Of Governor Osborn
Of Michigan, one Of the seven Gov
errors who asked Colonel Roosevelt
to become q candidate for the Re
publican nomination. that III his
opinion no third party was necessa-
~, was cited to the Colonel as one
reason f0r the reports that ali was
not going well with the movement.
Governor Osborn has said about
the same thing before,' he said. i
did not expect to have his support.
We are going to have some losses Of
this sort. Governor Hadley came
out for Taft. Governor Osborn for
Wilson. Our plans will not be at
fected."

ECZEMA THhT SPREADS
HOW q PCUcHkEE oSIE, n. Y,
MAN FOUND RELIEF IN SAXO
SALVE.

81 had been troubled with weeping
eczema for months and used many
preparations for skin troubles without
relief. The first application Of Saxo
Saive allayed the dreadful itching i'm
meGiately and after further use my
skin trouble entirely disappeared
Saxo Salve was just what I needed. -
w. H. Glynn, Poughl1eepsie, n. Y.
IN eczema the little vesicles or PIN
pies are filed with a fluid that burns
and tortures the skin the moment
they are torn open by scratching.
This causes it to spread.
In such cases we can conscientious
ly recommend cur new skin remedy,
Saxo Sa1ve, for its action on the skin
in all forms OF eczema and other dis
tressing skin troubles is indeed mar.
velous.
If it does not help you we will re-
| turn your money.

Must Be Sold at Actual Cost

Little Rock, Aug. 29. The last Legislature passed law provid- ing that the veterinary depart ment of the State University shall sell hog cholera serum to the farmers of Arkansas at actual cost.
 A statement has just been is sued by the department that re cords collected from the users of the serum show it has saved 80 per cent in infected herds and 99 percent in non-infected herds where cholera existed on neigh boring farms.
 There is only one way in which hog cholera may be positively di- agnosed, and that is by post mortem examination. There are many troubles of swine that are called Hog Cholera and yet they have very little resemblance to that disease. When hogs are dy ing they should be examined by an expert graduate veterinarian, and the sick hogs separated from the healthy ones. If the post mortem finding indicate cholera, serum should be ordered from the Veterinary Department of the Arkansas College of Agri- culture, Fayetteville, where it will be sold at cost, about 30 cts. for a pig weighing 20 to 50 pounds.
