From a Hamilton citizen.

To the Editor Of The Gate City:
Our reform movement looks to me
like the story Of the boy that had
taken all the weeds off the pasture
field except the cockleburs; he said
the sheep would take them off. Re
CORNERS want to take everything off
the political held that they think Is
not good for the people except the
saloons; the boys will take them oil.
They would not sit at table with
man that they think paid money for
a seat In the senate while they roll
as sweet morsal under their tongues
| that state law that allows man to
pay as much money as he wants to for
votes to run saloon and take a mans
money for drink until he is intoxicat-
cd and then stop and let the police
nut him in the lookup while he with
| a grin for personal liberty and a
square deal, smiles over his back
next"
Some laboring men say II they can
not support their family and the sa-
loon too, in war paint go out on a
strike for more wages. When that old
bell rang forth the answer to the
greatest question God ever placed in
the minds of men, Shall we be free?'
]lt did not mean for them to vote In
places to see whether they wanted
freedom and take 1t on trial for two

it meant America shall be free"
William Jennings Bryan said. II

Then to that end not for the good

chairman Of the former steel trust In
vestigating committee, before the
local chpter Of the American Institute

"The two socialisms," was Stanleys
subject, and he explained that one Is
the socialism of the workingman; the
other that of the monopolists. OF the
two, he pictured the latter as most
destructive, and as the cause OF the
spread OF socialism among workmen.
In this country, instead Of the
crime of monopoly being referred to
as thievery, which for 500 years the
laws of the anglo-Sa1ons have declar-
ed 1t to be, 1t is called cooperation
and the golden rule Of business
only that which is right can prop

stated that his visit here was to adj

GOOD EVIDENCE

Those Who Have Treated With Or.

Within the past month the greater
number who have been treating with
DIR. Wells are those who have been
brought to him by those he has cured.
people who have tried The other doc
tors and they have failed to cure
them and were finally brought to a
medical expert who handles their
cases from the bottom and roots out
the cause OF the real trouble Every
community. of course, has It's regular
number of wiseacres and know-it-alls,
but they have to be convinced that
DIR. Wells understands his business
thoroughly and understands how to
handle those whom good many doc
tors find as unruly patients. Some
patients want to tell doctor what he
should do and Just when and how he
should do 1t. Now il you are one of
that kind you had better keep away
from all doctors and especially this
medical expert, for he does not want
your case unless you are willing to
do as he tells you. This is one reason
why he is SO successful with all his
bad cases, and if they won't do as he
tells them he discharges them from
his care.
| These people who have been cured
of eczema, piles, rheumatism, consti-
patton, galstones. appendicitis, fa-
male trouble, goitre, ulcers, cancers.
blood poison, have been ones who
! have followed his directions carefully
and have not thought they knew more
than the whole medical profession.
When you see people who have treat
ed for years and finally cured by DR..
Wells 1t is no wonder they bring their
friends to man who has cured them;
it Is perfectly natual we all would
do the same thing. That is why they
are coming from miles and miles to

results and gives the proof in black

report for Mr.. Marsh, as stated at
Rock Island plans for water channels
at right angles with the riv-
er back into the industrial tract and
a switch or belt railroad running
down the river side and the T. P. &
W. railroad running down the east
side of the tract and branching into
the factory plats at right angles.
This plan would give each factory a
water front and is calculated to ap-
peal to industries that wish to use
the river extensively.
The plan for the bridge, it is under
stood, provides for the crossing just
below Taber's mill about where the
rock formation in the river ends.
