How to be Certain Of
Curing Constipation

Prejudice is hard thing to overcome,
but where health is at stake and the
opinion of thousands of reliable people
iiffers from yours, prejudice then be-
.ay it aside. This is said in the inter-
est of people suffering from chronic
constipation, and it is worthy of their
attention.
In the opinion of legions of reliable
American people the most stubborn
constipation imaginable can be cured
by brief use of DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup
Pepstn. You may not have heard of it
before, but do not doubt it's merits on
that account, or because it has not been
0latanty advertised. 1t has sold very
successfully on word Of mouth recon-

Sheir children today who were given il
by their parents, and it has been truth
fully said that more druggists use it
personally in their families than any
other laxative.

commend 1t to us as a success. The
Wasteful and unbusinesslike manner
in which the Government conducts its
affairs, State and Nation, is of itself
sufficient to discourage and to con
denim such an experiment, especially
at a time when our revenues have de-
creased to such an extent, owing to
the foreign war and the shrinkage in
imports. If I could, under ordinary or
normal conditions of our country's
existence, give my consent to try this
most basic change of party principle
and policy, I would certainly feel it a
reckless tempting of fate if l agreed
to an experiment in the world crisis
that is in the balance now.
Peace Sentiment-Its Popular Hold on
the People and Danger of World
Complications.
Probably the one sentiment more
than any other act of this administra-
ton that has gained the confidence
and affection of the American people
for the Democratic Party is the feel
ing that it has kept this country at
peace.
Disregarding for the moment these
serious objections of Government own
ership it looks TO me like madness to
jeopardize the peace and happiness
of this Nation for an assumed and
doubtful commercial advantages. l
feel that if this Government engages
now in the ocean carrying trade it is
| a certain invitation to disaster. To
my mind we will inevitably be entan-
gled in the world conflict now raging.
During our Civil War we exercised the
right of search of vessels of friendly
nations consigned from one neutral
port to another; but we confined that
search only to merchant vessels of
| other nations and not to naval vessels.
| Would ships owned and operated by
the United States Government in
! times of congested trade, but so de-
signed in ordinary conditions to be
used as aUXiharies in the Navy-Would
| those be naval ships or not? What
would be the status of a merchant
marine owned and operated by the
/ United States Government? AS it
stands now, according to international
law merchant ships under convoy OF
a neutral warship are exempted from
visit and search. VIII the American
people think it advantageous for our
| Government to go into trade at this
time and forfeit the advantages now
enjoyed by its naval vessels?
At present beligerents claim the
right to search all vessels carrying
the United States flag if contraband
is suspected. The American people
are willing to submit to seizure,
search, and detention of vessels owned
by private capital and to await the de-
cision of international courts; but
could or would they submit to ap-
parent indignities offered to the
United States Government in the form
of one of its vessels? 1t is not only
an unneutral act but practically de-
claration of war for any Government
to furnish beligerent with supplies
Can this Government dissociate itself
/ from that position in the eyes of the
warning nations if it embarks on the
Carrying trade at this time? If this
bill does not undertake to embark the

to be settled offhand or in any other
way" Mr.. President, am willing to

sense OF duty until the people have
spoken For these reasons l partici-
pated in none of the so-called confer
ences, afterwards denominated eau

Democratic Senators to support this

form Measure,

II any way commits Democratic Sena-
tors to its support or even counte-
nances this proposed measure, but, on
the contrary, as l read the merchant
marine plank of the Democratic plat
form Of 1912, it clearly condemns such
a Procedure as is here contemplated.
That plank reads:
1--WE believe in fostering, by consti-
tUtional regulation of commerce, the
growth of a merchant marine, which
shall develop and strengthen the COM
mercial ties which bind us to our sis
ter Republics of the South, but with
out imposing additional burdens upon
the people and without bounties or
subsidies from the Public Treasury"
AS l understand the purposes of this
| bill, it does not attempt to be in har-
mony with this platform declaration to
regulate or to foster by constitutional
/ regulation of commerce the growth OF
merchant marine" but, on the con
| trary, it proposes for the Government
to jump full-fedged into the business
itself and simultaneously create and
/ conduct a merchant marine, and does
! ii in open and fragrant violation of the
/ platform declaration, because in do
/ ing so it is not regulation but opera
ton; and, besides, it is manffestly
/ imposing additional burdens upon
! the people" by using forty mil
lions of the peoples money in a
hazardous venture, and that, too,
at a time of great public stress,
when the Treasury needs every
dollar to avoid further taxation of the
people. This is no time for doubtful
business ventures or experiments. In
dividuals, guided by experience are
cautious; why should the Government
! be otherwise? Are we true to our con
stituents' interests or to our oaths OF
office if we commit the Government tc
business venture so fundamentally
unsound and unwise, in which We as
individuals would not embark, con
vinced, in advance, as every business
man must be, that it will necessarily
be a losing investment? No coun
try has tried Government owner
ship for a fundamental rea
son. They realize that it places
the conduct of its foreign bust
ness in the realms of international at
fairs and complications. There is
nothing in the experience of those
countries which have tried, or are try
