Almost a Miracle.

One of the most startling changes
ever seen in any man, according to W.
B. Holsclaw, Clarendon, Tex, was
effected years ago in his brother. "He
had such a dreadful cough, ''he writes,
''that all our family thought he was
going into consumption, but he began
to use DR.. Kings New Discovery, and
was completely cured by ten bottles.
Now he is sound and well and weighs
2tS pounds. For many years our fam
lily has used this wonderful remedy for
Coughs and Colds with excellent re-
suits" It's quick, safe, reliable and

SOMETHING OF A NUISANCE
MIR. Fatherly Comes to the Front
With Some Remarks About
Mammals New Footstool.

"The only Christmas gift whose
presence in the house l regret" said
Mr.. Fatherly, is a footstool which our
girls gave to mamma.
Mother is not an old lady, but the
girls thought it would be nice for her
to have something to put her feet up
on and then think that as a sort of
subsidiary idea they had a fancy that
1t would look we'll in the house.
Il am not familiar with footstool
architecture and so l don't know of
just what design this enc is, whether
it's Louis XIV or Louis v. or what;
but know it's built of mahogany, is
oblorg in shape, upholstered in green,
has carved legs with claw feet and
that for its size it is pretty solid
piece of furniture.
ION Christmas night when the girls
put that fooSstool under mammals feet
Isn't that loTely?' thew said, and
mamma said it was perfectly beautiful
and she sat with her feet on it for the
rest of that evening. But she has
never used it since; she isn't foot
stool lady yet.
Then the girls began setting that
footstool around in our parlor or in
our library, where they thought 1t
would appear to advantage and where
1t would. by its presence, enhance
the attractiveness of our outfit. 1t
has been during this time, while tie
girls were placing the footstool around
here and there to see how it would
look, that | have become best ac-
quainted with 1t by stumbling my toes
against it.
Tor, you see, it was new tc me,
and then. with the girls forever shift
ing it around, really it seemed as If l
couldn't go anywhere in those two
rooms without falling over that foot
stool.
Just now the girls have got that
footstool under the piano bench: they
are trying to see how It looks there.
The bench is of mahogany and II has
curved legs and claw feet, like the
footstSol's. slid In way the two
pied es on furniture do harmonic. i
hore hat this harmony VIII appeal to
the girls strongly, and that there un-
der thu piano bench. for a long time.
they viii let this curiously. one might
almost say Indignantly, Obstructive

The Cost of Protection.

Duties on foreign merchandise
raise the price of the home product
if there is one, to an equal degree
with the foreign article, and, in
that way, largely increase the bur
dens of the people, without adding
to the public revenue. Suppose for
example, that the whole of given
commodity consumed in the coun-
try is 20 millions, of which millions
are imported, and the balance pro-
duced al home. Suppose, further,
that the duty upon the imported
article is forty per cent, equal IN
the aggregate to two million dol
lars. The home product must OF
course be raised in price to the ex-
tent of the duty on the foreign
article, and the amount being 10
millions, is raised forty per cent
To ascertain the net amount OF the
latter, we take a sum to which, II
forty per cent be added, we find the
total to be Is millions. That sum IS
SOFIA, 286. Deduct the last from
$l5, 900, 900, and we have 4,2S5, ia
as the difference, or enhanced price,
the people have to pay on the home
product; and the matter stands
thus:
Duties upon imported ar ooo 900
Enhanced cost of home ar

ment gets. .....-. ........e-sVVV'VVO

The total amount of the tax upon
the people is more than three times
the revenue which the government
receives.

Why You Should Vote for John C..
KareT.

Every great emergency IN the
life of the American people developes
a man to meet it; brings forth a
champion to fight on the peoples
side.
The present state income tax law
has created IN emergency in this
great state. John G. Karel is the
man to meet that emergency.
John G. Karel is the champion to
fight the peoples cause.
Why?
Because-John C. Karel sprang
from the plain people. He knows
what the people want. He knows
their trials and troubles. He is one
of them.
Because John G. Karel is fight
ing man, virile, resourceful and
aggressive. All his life he has bad
to fight for what he got and ali his
life he has been a winning fighter,
and he'll win this fight.
Because-John G. Karel is a man
to be trusted. He will do what he
says. He is a progressive; strong
and fearless. You know where
John G. Karel stands on every pub
lie question. He speaks right out.
Because G. Karel stands
for economy in government. He
has said that economy and efficiency
should, and will go hand in hand
when he is governor.
Because-John G. KarePs whole
life has been lived in Wisconsin, and
lived in the open. Everybody knows
John G. Karel.
Because John G. Karel is opposed
to the present state income tax law.
"The tax-waster and the tax
dodger are in the same class. "
81 favor the repeal of the present
state income tax. John G. Karel.

Benefit Only to Privilege.
From every point of view of the
tariff CRATER 1t is no doubt highly de-
sirable that such facts, staggering as
they are to the dishonest pretensions
that the cotton tariff was really lower
ed, should be buried as deeply as pos
sible in mass of unexplained stats
tics. But 1t is 20 the advantage of
every honest manufacturer and mer.
chant who is seeking stability in bust
ness and fair opportunity to make a
reasonable profit that the truth should
be made known. Just such policies of
official evasion and suppression have
made possible in the past the juggling
of tariff legislation by and In behalf Of
the privileged few.-New York World.

A New Birth Of Freedom.


The nomination of Woodrow Will
son for President means new dem
ocracy. 1t means a new epoch in
American self-go yernment.
The democratic party at last has
broken its shackles. 1t has eman-
cipated itself. 1t has rehabilitated
itself in po'Hder and principle. 1t
has turned its face to the rising sun,
to re-estat,lish the faith of the
American people in their own in
stitutions.
Woodrow Wilson will be the next
President of The United States.
But he will be more than that.
He will be the first President of
the United States in a generation
to go into office owing favors to no.
body except the American people
and under obligation to nothing ex-
cept the general welfare.
No political boss brought about
his nomination No political machine
carried his candidacy to victory. No
coterie of Wall street financiers
provided the money to finance his
campaign. He has no debt to pay
to corrupt politics or to corrupt
business. He was nominated by
the irresistible force of public opin-
ion, and by that alone. He stands
before the country a free man.
The American people have set
out to regain possession of their
government, and Woodrow Wilson
was nominated for President be-
cause he embodies that issue. The
bosses and the plutocrats who tried
to prevent his nomination were
beaten by the power of the people,
and the power that nominated him
is the power that will elect him.
With Woodrow Wilson as the
democratic candidate for President
it makes no difference what Mr..
Roosevelt does. 1t makes no diff.
ference how many third parties he
organizes. Progressive democrats
ond progressive republicans now
have candidate of their own. The
contest between Mr.. ROOSEVELT and
Mr.. Taft is now a contest for the
control of the republican organiza-
ton, and nothing more. The me-
mace of third term no longer hangs
over the country. The menace of
personal government no longer
threaten American institutions.
The United States is not to be
Mexicanized. Tt is to be re-Amer-
icsnzed.
1T is because Gov. Wilson repre-
sents this vital principle that The
World so persistently urged his nom
ination. 1t is because Gov. Wilson
represents this principle that the
opposition within the party was
forced to surrender. 1t is because
Gov. Wilson represents this princi-
pie that he will be triumphantly
elected in November. Such a man
is imperatively needed, and the
American people, true to their tradi-
ton in every crisis, have again found
him.
Gov. Wilson's nomina ton means
that the rule of the boss is over.
1t means that the partnership be-
tween corrupt politics and corrupt
business in national politics is for.
chilly dissolved. 1t means that the
old regime of protection to Privilege
and Plutocracy is on the scaffold.
1t means that the old gods are dead
The United States is back to the
benediction pronounced by Abra-
ham Lincoln on the battlefield Of
Gettysburg that this Nation,
under God, shall have a new birth
of freedom, and that government Of
the people, by the people, and for
the people shall not perish from the
earth. New York World.
