Improper eating told on me till my
stomach became so weak that food
nauseated me, even the lightest and

This condition was discouraging,

Then l saw the advertisement of
Grape-Nuts food, and decided to try

For the past three years I have
used Grape-Nuts and nothing else for

THE PRESIDENT AND LOBBYISTS.

President Wilson since the Under
wood tariff bill passed the house is
finding hard shedding in the senate.
Some of the democratic senators are
inclined to consult the sentiment of
their states rather than to be influ-
enced by the whip in the hands of the
president.
There is no question but what the
country has brought and is bringing
tc bear upon the senators arguments
against the passage of the tariff bill
in the form it came from the house
and this opposition to the bill on the
part of the country is causing the
president to assert that a powerful
lobby is organized and at work in
Washington to thwart his purposes.
The president having made this as
sertion and the impression being that
the lobby, if one, is directed toward
the senate, a special committee OF
senators was appointed to investigate
this report of the president and ascer'
tain if such lobby exists.
We predict that when the commit.
tee makes it's final report it will be
discovered that most of the men who
are opposed to the passage of the I'm
derwood tariff bill have gone to Wash
ington in a manly way to appear be-
fore committees and through other
proper channels to oppose the pass
age of this bill and that it will prove
that the business men and not the
professional lobbyists are fighting the
president The trouble with the pres
ident is that he thinks it is the duty
of congress to accept his judgment on
all matters of legislation and when
his will is opposed he imagines there
must be some unholy combination
against him.

RRYAN's PEACE PROGRESS.

Secretary Bryan's peace plan, put
out in somewhat nebulous form as
"feeler" about month ago, has been
making a little progress. Secretary
Bryan is pleased to report that seven
nations have responded, accepting the
plan in principle and asking for fur
Their information as to detail. These
nations are Italy, Great Britain,
France, Brazil. Norway, Peru and
Russia. Other nations to which the
plan was submitted tentatively have
asked further time for it's considera-
ton, while none has made adverse re-
ply.
When the Bryan plan was first out
lined it contemplated that during a
period of possible Cancellation no ma
ton should increase it's armament or
make any naval or military moves that
might prove advantageous in case of
war. This provision was rather harsh
ly criticised as impracticable, and it
appears to have been omitted in the
rough sketch submitted to other chan
celleries for consideration. The mod
flied plan, as now explained, calls for
an international commission for the
investigation of international contro-
versies. 1t is proposed that the pow
ers shall join in creating the COM
mission as they joined in creating the
international arbitration court at The
Hague. No attempt has been made by
Secretary Bryan to dictate details
here The commission is to be author
lied on it's own motion to investigate
disputes threatening to lead to war
between two or more powers. This
investigation may be undertaken with
out the request of the nations direct
ly interested. The investigation hav-
ing been undertaken, the interested
nations are pledged not to declare war
or begin hostilities until after the
commission has made a formal report.
The report must--be made within a
specified time, to be determined later.
Acceptance ot'fthe recommendations
by the commission is not obligatory
upon the interested parties. Although
war may follow, it is assumed that
the delay, the judicial determination
of the merits Of the dispute, and the
pointing out ofaa plan of settlement
that may be accepted with honor by
both sides, will have the effect of
greatly reducing the possibility of
war. Essentially the effect in the in
terest of peace should be about the
same as under the Taft plan for re-
ferring certain critical disputes to a
joint high commission to decide
whether or not they should be arbi-
trated.
After Secretary Bryan has secured
assurance of sympathetic interest
from the principal powers, the next
step in promotion of the plan will be

cess and Roosevelt, by the finding of
the court and jury, belongs to the
class of moderate drinkers only. We
think it is generally recognized that
a man who drinks moderately does
not injure himself or the community
as much as one who drinks immOder-
ately.
1t naturally created surprise that a
prominent citizen of the community at
the head of a newspaper could make
so serious a charge against the colonel
and then when brought into court and
put upon the witness stand would say
he had no evidence to back up the
charge; that he had been misled in
relation to the facts in the case. We
have little sympathy with the editor
of newspaper who will charge pub
lie character with an offense such as
was brought against Mr.. Roosevelt
without reasonable showing of facts
to justify the charge being made.
The newspaper in this case gets
out of the lawsuit with little glory,
and Roosevelt himself will discover
that there are a great many people
who will insist that he made mistake
in airing his habits with respect to
the use of intoxicating liquors when
it could have been avoided by ignor-
ing what the country newspaper said
about him.
The colonel did not seem to be
thirsting for a judgment against the
paper in any substantial amount, be-
cause when the editor laid down and
failed to call the testimony which
could justify the publication, Mr..
Roosevelt said to the court and jury
that all he wished was vindication
and a judgment for nominal amount
would be satisfactory and such judg.
ment was rendered accordingly, the
amount being but six cents.

THE ROOSEVELT TRIAL.

The somewhat famous trial at Mar
quette, Mich, in which Theodore
Roosevelt was plaintiff and George
w. Newett was defendant, came to
sudden termination on Saturday af-
ternoon after the evidence of the
plaintiff had been introduced and the
defendant was up against the propo-
sition of furnishing testimony to meet
it or permit judgment to 90 against
him. A very large number of Roose
velt's personal and political friends
had testified that he was moderate
drinker, but did not drink to excess.
Such men as Pinchot, Garfield and
other close personal friends testified
with some feeling that Roosevelt was
not a man who drank to excess, to
such an extent as to be classed as a
drunkard. Although each of the wit
nesses conceded as much as Roose-
welt himself did when on the stand
that he drank at times, eliminating
certain kinds of liquor.
1t seems strange to some people
that Roosevelt would select a country
newspaper with a limited circulation
which had the temerity to criticize
him, because no attention had been
paid to it. The influence of the paper
could have been no more than local,
while by bringing suit he has pub
lished to the world the fact that he
drinks Intoxicating liquors of various
kinds, which will cause criticism of a
large number of people who do not
believe in the use of liquors. We are
pleased to hear that from the evil
dence Roosevelt, while he was addict
ed to the use of intoxicating liquors,
is not, judging from the result of the
case, in the habit of becoming intoxi-

difference between a man who drinks

SHOULD Be APPRHENDED.

The disgraceful scene enacted at
Council Bluffs few nights ago, when
a mob of several hundred people col
lected from the community, as we'll

is without excuse and the leaders
should be promptly apprehended and
punished. Every one must admit that
the killing of Mr. Jones, the fireman
on the railroad as he was returning
to his home after his days work, by
some degenerate cutting his throat, is
the limit of Wickedness and depravity,
and we can understand how the COM
munity must have become exasperated
on the report of the murder becom-
ing known, but we have no sympathy
with the purpose of the mob to seize
the man and lynch him while the
courts are available for transacting
business in an orderly way. But

been removed from their reach, to
turn to the stores of innocent people,
such as the Greek residents of Coun-
Gil Bluffs owned and operated, and
destroy their property. These people
were in no way connected with the
crime of killing the fireman and it
was only because the mob was thwart-
ed in finding the murderer that they
turned to the district where the
Greeks owned property.
Race prejudice is growing too rapid
ly in this country and if not checked
it does not take a prophet to foretell
what will happen to the republic. No
