THE TELEPHONE.

 It is indeed a wondrous thing, this modern telephone, that will across the distance bring a speakers light est tone. Sometimes I sit and con- template its weird, surprising plan, and bless the scientist so great who gave this boon to man. And then again I rant and bawl about its many faults, and tear the blamed thing from the wall, and on the pieces waltz. Your mirthful lips are strick- .en dumb, sealed are the founts of song, when central (busy chewing gum gets all the numbers wrong, I sometimes wonder what we'd do if we should lose our phones Wed be a hopeless, helpless crew! We'd i'll the world with groans. To get back to our fathers ways would fill our souls with aches! A message then would take three days, that now a minute takes!

NATIONAL CAMPAIGN FUNDS.

The contributions to the national campaign funds of the three leading parties have been reported, and We lind that about five millions of dol .ars in round numbers, were spent for campaign purposes in the late cleo lion. Of this amount two millions are credited to the Republican party n it's effort to re-elect President Taft, and about a million and a half each were spent by the Democrats and Progressives.
 It costs a deal of money to elect a President of the United States, but the sums spent are rather modest when compared with the campaign funds of former presidential years. This condition is due, no doubt, to the law which compels candidates and political parties to publish exact statements showing their expendi- lures. It is a wholesome law in eff feet and the "slush funds" of former years are no longer known.
 An interesting phase of the contri- buttons is their sources. President Taft. representing the Republican party. received a large portion of his campaign fund from his relatives. Colonel Roosevelts heaviest contribu- tors were George W. Perkins and Frank A. Munsey. of New York, who seem to nave given most generously.
 Governor Wilson's campaign fund came from a much larger number of people, and individual contributions were not very heavy as compared with those made to the other parties.
 It is also interesting to know that q large portion of all the campaign funds was used for advertising and publicity purposes.
 We are making progress towards attaining purity in elections. The ballot box is now pretty clean, and bribery and corruption have been practically eliminated. A higher standard of political morality has been established. It is not so many years since. in Indiana, votes were purchased in blocks of five" Yes, We are making progress all the time toward clean ballot boxes and clean politics.

A HOSPITAL FOR THE INSANE.

The Empire believes that the time has arrived when Alaska should have a Iunatlc asylum orits own. This DO, sition is taken because 1t believes that the present system of farming out the insane patients of this ter ritory to the lowest bidder is inhu- mane and little short of indecent.
 The alleged sanitariums which make a speciality of caring for insane people by submitting bids for their care and maintenance cannot be ex- pected to give the attention and treat. ment which a diseased mind requires. Competitive bids for the care of in- sane people! Think of it! The price per patient is pared down to the clos est possible point. The government saves a few dollars year, and the patients get the scantiest fare. the scantiest attention, the cheapest treat ment. What else could be expected under such an archaic, inhuman sys- tenn? Dollars staked against the helpless insane Save the dollars; and let the helpless fall where they may. This is the logical working out of such a system. Primarily the keepers of these sanitariums are not to blame; they are compelled to tender" for the Keeping and clothing and treat ment of the insane. and if the keeper tenders too low an amount to afford the treatment and the care Of the suf- ferers require. who is 1t that suffers? The government? No Its pocket book is eased; the burden of discom- fort falls upon the poor, the helpless insane folk.

the thermometer going as low as
ten degrees below zero and we
have had snow continuously on
the ground since the 18th Of De

writing, we are having great
snow storm, drifting against
houses, barns and other places
to a depth of several feet.
Stock has sutfeted severely for
want of shelter and protection
from the snow and wind, while
some few have died. The last
three years being very dry, this
is trying on the farmers of this
section, but with the wheat crop
looking fine, good season in the
ground, most farmeS seem to be
rejoicing over the prospects for

Satisfied With the Medicine
We Recommend

We are so positive that our
remedy will permanently relieve
constipation, no matter how
chronic it may be, that we offer
to furnish the medicine at our
expense should it fail to produce
satisfactory results.
1t is worse than useless to at
tempt to cure constipation with
cathartic drugs. Laxatives or
cathartics do much harm. They
cause reaction, irritate, and
weaken the bowels and tend to
make constipation more chronic.
Besides, their use becomes a
habit that is dangerous.
Constipation is caused by a
by weakness of the nerves and
muscles Of the large intestine
or descending colon. To expect
permanent relief you must
therefore tone up and strngth-
en- these organs and restore
them to healthier activity.
We want you to try Rexall Or
derlieS on our recommendation.
They are exceedingly pleasant to
take. being eaten like candy, and
are ideal for children, delicate
persons and old folks, as well as
for the robust. They act di-
rectly on the nerves and mus.
cles of the bowles. They appar-
antly have a neutral on the assoc
ciate organs or glands. They do
not purge, cause excessive loose
ness, nor create any inconven-
fence whatever. They may be
taken at any time, day or night.
