When the people clamor for any
thing remember that they are clam
oring because they have been told to
clamor by leaders. There is almost
no such thing as the people clamor-
ing for measure because it is right.
Every reform measure in this coun-
try is based on the appointment of
a commission to carry it into effect;
the commissioners to be paid by pub

he has Selby Stanley beat country

,aised IA colts, y of them having
been sold for $1,121.OO, with two
more to be disposed of. In the first

ord for cheapness that is hard to

ago and Clell Collier sold the filly to
a fellow who had bid on her just for
the fun of it, not expecting but what
she would bring twice or three times

We can begin to bid farwell to the
herd of deer, ranging between Avoca
and Harlan, whose presence have
made this section of the Botna river
valley famous throughout the land.
L. c. Ward, deputy game warden
and farmer near Avoca shot and kill
ed deer early last year. He was
arrested and fined $50 for violating
the state law. His excuse was the
deer was destroying his crops The
case was appealed to the Supreme
Court which holds that he had
right to protect his property. Mr..
Pritchard, who protects the largest
band of deer on his fine farm, east
of Avoca, has always ridiculed this
plea. The excuse of protecting his
property is broad enough to justify
everyone who has been crazy to
slaughter these beautiful animals
since they broke out of Cuppy's park
fifteen years ago.-Harlan Tribune.

a LARGER NAVY

George Won l. Meyer, former
secretary of the navy, is one or
those who are urging the need Of
a large navy. In a recent err
ticle he says:
In order that CIR battle fleet
should be we'll balanced and well
rounded it must have a division
Of battle cruisers with a speed Of
thirty knots, and increased DIV
ision of submarines and an ample
number of supply ships; but.
what is of even greater import
ance, we must have a naval re-
serve of fifty thousand men, be-
cause ships without experienced
men are Of little value.
For example, we cannon but fail
to- be impressed that Japan has
a division of four battle cruisers
Of 27,500 tonnage with a speed
of twenty-seven and a half knots.
This battle cruiser division could
Immediately control the entire
commerce of the Pacific ocean,
and we have no battle cruisers
at all and no battlships which
could overtake them, the speed of
our battleships being limited To
tWenty-One knots.
We should not hesitate i'm lay
ing the keels at once of a battle
cruiser division of four ships
Their range, armament and speed
and their ability to overwhelm-
ingly destroy commerce and con-
troll the ocean have been to in
delibly impressed upon us to lose
any time. We must have a ilee'
that can carry out on aggressive
policy of offense.
"A liberal education as to tn,
needs Of the navy will create Z
public sentiment that will innu-
ence Congress to the necessary
speedy action at its next session.

The difference is apparent to
those who live on the other side
OF the Atlantic, he says. Far
from finding America condemned
and ridiculed for her dignihed
stand for peace, he heard this
country praised and catered, and
saw its good opinion sought by
all the armies and chancellories. 80
He returned to the United

Signs of Economy.

Substantial benefits are ex-
pected to accrue from the gener-
al demand for preparedness" "
The widespread belief that this
country should improve its de-
lenses has led to an examination
of national finances. Months
ago it was learned that President
Wilson had discussed with de-
partment heads the necessity Of
a budget system, and it is under
stood now that such system will
be recommended TO congress at
the forthcoming session. In line
with this plan are other changes.
chief of which are reform in
pork barrel legislation and
greater efficiency in the treasury
department Secretary MctdOo
has appointed a committee of
treasury officials to investigate
and make recommendations to
place the department ON more
efficient, economical and business
basis" The treasury and post
Office departments have for some
time been cooperating on a plan
to bring about economy in the
construction of public buildings
for the postal service. One re-
suit of this work was the deter
mination to have central Offices
in tall Office buildings instead OF
III structures consisting of only
one or two floors. The idea
was to save money in the pur-
chas of ground.
An item of more than ordinary
interest is a statement from Rep
resentative Sparkman, of Flor
ida, chairman of the rivers and
harbOrs committee, that the
committees next appropriation
bill would be much smaller should
the administration persist in its
desire to strengthen the army and
the navy. Other public improve
ments will also be affected. Thus
the government might save
enough money the next session
for the construction of two OF
three battleships and a number
of coast defense works. It is
evident that administration lead
ers in congress are willing to CO.

HERE'S NATURES OWN
REMEDY FOR CATARRH
HyOmei Relieves Catarrh Without the
Use of Dangerous Drugs

Not until Hyomei was discovered has
it been possible to truthfully say that
real remedy for catarrh was known.
Hyomei is an oil and it's air is
breathed through small inhaler fur
nished with it for few minutes four
times a day, and during that time eve
ry particle of this Hyomei-laden air
taken into the air passages and lungs
is impregnated with a powerful germ
killing and health-giving antiseptic.
Sprays and lotions often cause dis
orders of the respiratory tracts or
bring on some other diseases and new
err make a permanent cure of catarrh.
But when the air of Hyomei penetrates
to the inmost air cells Of the lungs
and enters the blood with the oxygen
it not only kills the germs in the
throat and nose, but kills the bacllll
in the blood, freeing the mucous mem
branes from poisonous microbes and
giving perfect health
A complete outfit is inexpensive and
includes an inhaler, dropper and sui
ficient Hyomei for several weeks
treatment
r. Hodgins had so much faith in
the merit of Hyomei that he agrees to
return the money to any purchaser
who is not thoroughly satisfied. 1877
