PEACE AND ORDER.

While the question of the with drawal of troops is under consideration it is perhaps as serious a situation which exists in Coloradn as at Vera Cruz. Certainly it Is nearer home and concerns a section of the United States. The efforts of the government lo bring about a truce was not suc- cessfuI. It was acceptable only in part by the operators. but there ended the effort. Nothing further was done in the way of endeavoring to accomplish the purpose which was so important, namely, that peace should be estab- lished in that region and the state permitted to resume it's normal cond- tion.
 The consideration on the part of the eovernment of the early withdrawal or the federal troops which have been located there for months gives none too much thought to the conditions There is no question but what the state of Colorado has a responsibility to assume in the maintenance of law and order which it has shown it was un- able to do. Its weaknesses have been revealed to itself and the nation and there is slight evidence of any ma terial improvement having been made in the meantime.
 Such a situation would be suficient for most commonwealths to reestab1ish their power, and 1t should be urged 10, but until 1t is able to take care of the necessary matter of upholding the law and insurtng proper protection, the holding of federal troops there appears to be as important as holding them at Vera Cruz for the same kind of ser vice.

MIR. TAFT ON THE BUSINESS
 LAWS

In his address before the American Bar association William H. Taft took occasion to refer to the recent legis- 1ation which has been passed by the present administration and its effect upon the judiciary and the country. Great stress has been placed upon the necessity of this relief to business legislation even to the prolongation of the session of congress, but in the opinion of the ex-president more harm than good has been caused since in his belief the field of illegal and criminal effort in respect to restraints of interstate commerce or monopolies of it. is not enlarged under the new acts."
 In other words nothing has been gained. liter years of interpretation the courts have reached point where the man: phases of the Sherman act are thoroughly established. It has taken time to show the effectiveness thereof, but without providing any thing better the new legislation sim- ply means the going over of similar ground for an interpretation of its meaning. The legislators have turned their task over to the courts to un- ravel. This means further delay and embarrassment. fact fully under stood when the tinkering was pro- posed.
 Mr. Taft points out the harm 1T such a shifting of responsibility from congress to the federal courts as the eulhllment of a promise to the ear only eo break 1t to the hope There is nc benefit from weak legislation which b simply passed for political purposes

If Skin ItCheS
 and Breaks Out
 Apply Sulphur
GET OUNCE OF BoLD.SuLPHuR
 AND HEAL ECZEMA ERUP- TONS RIGHT UP,

For years, common bold-sulphrr has occupied secure position in the treat. ment of cutaneous affections, by rea- son of its parasite-destroyingp property. It is not only parasiticidal, but also antipruritic, antiseptic and remark ably healing in irritable and infiam- matory conditions of the skin.
 The moment you apply it to an itch- ing or broken out skin the itching stops and the healing begins, says a noted dermatologist. Just common bold-sulphur made into a thick cream effects such prompt and remarkable results. even in aggravated Eczema that 1t is a never ending source of amazement to physicians.
 While not always establishing a permanent cure it never fails to sub- due the angry itching and irritation and heal the Eczema right up and it is often years later before any erup- ton again appears on the skin.
 Any good pharmacist will supply ar, ounce of bold-sulphur cream winch should be applied to the irritated or infamed parts, like the ordinary cold creams. It isn't unpleasant and the prompt relief afforded is very welcome particularly when the eruption is ac- companied with itching.

AMERICAN SHIPS.

The protest which was made by this country against the seizure Of the American tank steamer John D. Rocka- feller was sound one. This was quickly recognized by the British with the result that the vessel has been re- leased.
 This case differs somewhat from
 those in which other tank steamers owned by the same company are con- cerned since the Rockefeller was an
 American built vessel and has always been under the American flag. It was engaged in trSde between neutral eoun-
 tries and it's cargo was not contrahand.
 Thus there was no occasion for it's capture by the ships of Great Britain and the release is one of the best ac-
 Acknowledgements thereof.
 The situation was simple enough and did not involve such questions SIS are raised by those tankers which have undergone a change of registry, but it is believed that good Judgment will prevail in these cases when the time comes for getting down to the foun- dalton. The situation Is one which doesn't call for excitement, but on the other hand demands a settkg forth of
 the facts. for it must be evident on
 both sides that each nation must care- fully guard It's interests From the British standpoint it is plain to see
 that unless substantial evidence is se- cured of a genuine change of regis- try, the change In our law may oper-
 ate to her disadvantage. Thus early
 action is intended to forestal1 1t but
 with the proof established of a bona fde change and the fact that vessels have been and are now controlled by American capital. even though they
 shoulG be easy.

LITTLE DAUGHTER
 VERY DELICATE
Mother Tells How VinoI Made Her Delicate Child One of the HeaIfhiest.

Fayetteville, N. C.-"Mylittle daueh. ter was in delicate and very poor health and had so little strength it caused us d great deal of uneasiness. I noticed an advertisement of Vinol and decided to tryit. The results were simply marvel ous as her appetite improved at once. she gained so much in weight and looks that my friends all commented on the change. She is now one of the health jest children in town and does not need medicine of any kind. All mothers who have delicate children should try vinol. s Mrs. GORDON JEssUP, Fayetteville, N. c.
 Vinol is a wonderful appetizer and you can see delicate, siling children im- prove day by day under it's use, for it is the tissue building and medicinal ele- mentsof cod's livers, aided by the blood making, strength creating properties of tonic iron which makes yinol so superior to other tonics to build up health and strength for delicate children, feeble old people and weak, rundown, nervous de- bilitated men and women. We wish every mother who has a delicate child would try Vinel on our agreement to return their money if it fails to give satisfaction.
