Ing of a presidential candidate was
merely high compliment TO their
standing and influence In the Demo-
cratic party Of the nation.
The Jackson Day Dinner brought
many prominent West virgiaians to
Washington. Col. John II. McGraw,
West virginis's member Of the Demo
cratic national committee and men,
Der of the sub committee on arrange

occasion and was warmly greeted by
the many Democrats from West Viz
ginia " no were In Washington at the
tune. George |. Neal Of Huntington,
Vice. Chairman OF the Democratic state
committee Was also here and conferred
with the many Democrats from various
parts Of the slate who were alse here.
The general opinion among the West
Virginia Democrats who were heie for
the dinner was that West Virginia
will ee found safely IN the Democratic
column for both state and national
tickets next Fall.

Washington, Jan. 9.-For the last
ten days Metropolitan newspapers
throughout the Eastern part OF the
UniIeu states have devoting columns
cfspace to alleged attempts Of Sena-
tiers Watson and Chiltsn TO strengthen
the cause of first enc and then an
other aspirant for the presidency. They
have been in turn reported as sup
porting Senator o'GoTman of New
York, Governor Harmon OF Ohio,
Champ Glars, Of Missouri, and in fact
nearly all the persons spoken Of IN
connection with the nomination. Ger
tam papers even went so far AZ TO as
sert that a strong article had been
published in the Charleston Gszeite,
which they said is owned by Senator
Chiffon advocating the nomination Of
senator O'Gorman. or course no
such article appeared for neither Sena-
tor Watson or Senator Chiffon is en-
gagged in the business of furthering the
cause Of any candidate for the presi-
'ency or opposing any other candi-
date. To he sure they both want to see
strong and capable man Nominated
for that position for the sale OF the par
ty. but their attitude was expressed
clearly by Senator Watson who stated
few days ago that 81 am taking no
part as between candidates fer the
nomination for the Presidency, merely
wishing to see the strongest and most
available man nominated. However,
the Democratic party in West Viz
gInia In capable Of arriving at its own
conclusion as to who should receive its
support In the Democratic national
convention without any advice from =
senator, who should be the servant
rather than the adviser of his constit-
uents. My personal opinion at this
time Is that the delegation from West
Virginia should be selected from able
and Trustworthy Democrat who should
be sent to the convention without any
instructions and left free 10 think best

The principal thing accomplished
! by the publications regarding the
West Virgiria Senators, built as they
were upon no foundation whatever
was to emphasize the influence which
these men are looked upon as exerting
In national matters. The columns Of
space which are devoted to them by
city papers would not have been so
used had 1t not been generally oonced-
ed that any action the two West Vir-
ginia Senators might take In regard to
the presidential nomination would be

There are only thirty-five words in
the Bartholdt bill, (h. r. 30), now in
the hands Of the House Committee on
Military Affairs. But il enacted into
law they will have the force of repeal
ing section 3s of the act approved by
President Mckinley, February 2, 1901,
which ended the legalized saloon or
canteen as part OF the permanent
military establishment of the United
States. Under this salutary law the
number of general courts martial for
drunkenness has fallen from ,458 in
1901 to 40 in the year just crossed.
There is undoubtedly strong effort to
pass this bill, which would serve the
brewery interest both direc tly and in
directly, since it would enlarge their
sales and set the seal of government
approval upon their business. The
friends of temperance must exert them
selves to hold the ground which they
gained when the canteen was outlaw

THE ILLINOIS ISSUE
SpriTAgfield's Shame

any surprised Springfield voted down all of
the four ordinances proposed by the Commission Form of
Government, for the control of saloonkeepes of that city?
About year ago. just before the local option election,
in Springfield those opposed to local option their argu
ments and in avong of licensing the saloon pub
cy and privately that they in favor of regulating the
saloon business and placing upon it such restrictions Of law
that only the law abiding saloon would be allowed license
Mayor Rose argued for high license and the observance of
law and that the who opposed to that long
haired crank and he ceered to the echo by the saloon
keeper and their adherents
After almost years experience under the commission
form of government the commissioners who elected upon
platform that saloonkeper would be compelled to obey the
law becoming disguised with the attitude of Mayor Scepp
the city police and the states attorneys office and their failure
attempt the enforcement of law proposed four
working to the regulation of the saloon.
l. An ordinance regulating bartenders intended to pre-
vent the employment of drunken debauched plug ugs and
robbers from being engaged barenders.
2. To suppress low, disorderly Saloons by requiring
license Of 100000 that argued for and promised the
saoonkeepers and adherents the local option
tion
g. An ordinance to prevent the placing of in front
of the saloon bars prevent the public passing along upon
the streets from seeing what going the interior of the
saloon.
f. To require the saloon to be closed Lords Day
This last ordinance squarey placed before the voters of
Springfield the question to whether salooneepers the
city OF Spngheld should be compelled to obey one OF the
cardinal laws of the State of Illinois and law that forth
from Mt Sinai and that has been the law in every civilized
community upon the face of from Mt Sinai to the
present time.
By their VOTE the people of Springfield the shame of

con have advertised themselves anarchists to of the
fundamental laws Of the state Just before the election they
ready to promise and did promise publicly and privately
that if the people of Springfield would not vote the saloons
out Of existence they would that the laws should be i'm
pcty obeyed They hoodwinked the people by these various
promises and pretenes and within year these
people turn around and vote by large majority that the saloon
shall not be held amenabe to law.

CAUSE FOR ALARM.
Loss of Appetite or Distress After
Eating Symptom That Should
Not be DiSreTarded.

Appetite is just a natural desire
for food. Loss of appetite or stomach
distress after eating indicate indi-
gestion or dyspepsia. Over-eating
is a habit very dangerous to per-
sons good general health.
1t is not what you eat but what
you digest and assimilate that does
you good. Some of the strongest,
heaviest, and healthiest persons are
moderate eaters.
There is nothing that will cause
more trouble than a disordered
stomach, and many people daily con-
tract serious maladies simply through
disregard or abuse of the stomach.
We urge all in Leon who suffer
from any stomach arrangement, in
digestion or dyspepsia, whether acute
or chronic, to try Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets, with the distinct under
standing that we will refund their
money without question or formality,
if after reasonable use of this med
icine, they are not perfectly satisfied
with the results. We recommend
them to our customers every day,
and have yet to hear of any one
who has not been benefited by them
We honestly believe them to be with
out equal. They give very prompt re-
lief, aiding to neutralize the gastric
juices, strengthen the digestive or
gans, to regulate the bowels, and
thus promote perfect nutrition, and
eradicate all unhealthy symptoms.
We urge you to try 25c box of
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, which
gives Is days treatment. At the end
of that time, your money will be re-
turned to you if you are not salts
fed OF course, in chronic cases
length of treatment varies. For
such cases, we have two larger sizes,
which sell for soc and $1.OO. Re-
member, you can obtain Rexall Rem
edies in this community only at our
store-The Rexall Store. Bell L
