INCOMPETENCE THE TROUBLE

Thomas A. Edison says in Leslie's
Weekly that 1T would be simple
matter to pass legislation that would
forever SETTLE the trust question to
the satisfaction of the people and the
interests The only obstacle is the
class of men on whom this duty de-
wolves. They are not equal to their
duties They are epeechifying poll
ticians If they were men who knew
the technique Of business, the inner
workings of commercial Life, We might
expect some results from their labor
ious efforts"
This is plain talk and true, Bust
ness in this country has been zoo Sc
riously interfered with by Gema-
gogues who had no idea of practical
business whatever and who could not
apply any remedy for the things Of
which they complain. There Is no
doubt more able and practical rep
resentauves are needed to carry this
business of regulating the trusts to
perfection.

For Biliousness
BY A PHYSICIAN.

The juice of a lemon will cure
biliouspess. 1t Is far cheaper and
simpler than the quinine or calomel
route. And there is the great ad-
vantage that it does not iniure the
systera, nor leave any ill-efrects in
any OF the organs OF the body.
Many people know that IT is wise
TO tahe the juice OF lemon In half
a glass OF water before breakfast
Many do not know that the effect
is much better II the treatment is
repeated just before retiring at night.
The plain lemon, eaten, may be
strong Ia acid for some people. But
diluted in water 1t is not likely to be
harmful in any way.
The lemon juice acts as a general
corrective to the system and is a
direct ala to the proper activity OF
the liver.

the disgraceful reputation we have
acquired.
At this writing our own towns-peo-
pie are peddling stories, if all are
credible, of about ten cases of lille
.gitimate births within the last fort
night. From among the many, we
utterly reject one as Infamous, and
mere gossip. 1t being to the effect

cold truth has it that an alleged de-
graded family has several cases in
It's circle where members are about
to become mothers of illegitimates.
It is also said that one young man
is imprisoned on a charge of bastardy.
Great God of Heaven-of all vir-
tues! Has WatertoWn's name been
brought to such scorn and it's chill
dren so disgraced? Is it the home of
the flesh pots Of Egypt, or Of a Chris
tian and Virtuous people2 Some Of
whom, and about whom, these in
decencies are charged have been
churched but have fallen away and
gone wholly to the world, the flesh
and the devil. Ye Christian mothers
what blame is yours, and you, faith
ers, why this public, this statewide
scandal?
For years we have scoffed at our

defied laws enforcement. The wages
we collect now are a mockery and
an abomination Chastity has been
sold, nay, given away, under our own
blinded eyes! Many have willingly
given life before giving up the noble
heritage of sexual chastity, but now
many of our children are too i'm
moral to keep up that noble practice.
A citizen holding perhaps the most
honOred public office within our gift
once heard gossip about our towns
depravity. His source Of information
was reliable To test the question he
arose one spring morning near
o'clock to personally see the effect of
a Saturday night. He walked Main

That Sabbath morning the street was
populous with youths of both sexes
it was maudlin. The shocking sight

for one predicted the dreadful reality
that now taints our youths.
There is too much to be said. We
must conclude our first Of a series
OF like articles, and will hereafter
show the cause of our calamity-for
such it surely it-and we shall add
only a few recitals; also shall show
how to control this social evil, placing
the blame for this calamity, and
finally showing that the past and pres
ent history of WatertoWn shows this
to be the calamitous results of disre-
spect for law. Order without law is
