lie an impractical scheme was being

THE Guard has long and honor
able record and its personnel is made
up of real patriots who through years
of public indifference and at personal
sacrifice have steadily kept an avail
able secondary defense in shape for
the nations need. Instead of minimiz-
ing the patriotism and the work of
these loyal citizens, they should be
given increased national recognition.
Both economy and efficiency will
be attained If this aid is given and the
national government turns seriously
and actively to the task of making the
National Guard the basis of a sub
stantial and effective military force.
TN the last analysis the, States are
factors of moment in any policy or
plan of national security, and 1t is un-
fair and unwise to ignore or treat
slightingly their activities in maintain
ing an emergency force of fairly
trained and efficient men willing for
any service the nation may require.
'1n Pennsylvania we have a Ma
tional Guard composed of officers and
men of high capacity and in adminis-

equal of any in the country.

If you go into restaurant, cafe or

meal, your stomach should not revolt
when you read the menu card

rors for the healthy stomach and they
! do not.
| A small box of Stuart's Dyspepsia
| Tablets placed in your vest pocket
will be sufficient guard against the
mad revels of a worn-out stomach.
! A tablet taken a few moments after
a copious meal will remove any ill
effects of food from your stomach and
you may eat as generously as those
about you.
One of these little tablets will of
itself settle all questions of indiges-

The St. Louis Republic, com
menting on the return of Medil
Mccormick, the Progressive par
ty leader in Illinois, to the ranks
of the Republican party, says
that the crowning proof that the
Progressive party was never
really progressive lies in the fact
that it has gone back to the par
ty from which it sprung. We
may take this as meaning that it
could only have shown real pro-
gressiveness by shifting itself
into the Democratic party. Now
let's take a look into this, on the
Republics assumption. 1t
has been seen that 9he Progress
i've detection from the Republi-
can party in 1912 resulted IN the
return of the Democratl, :.s,y
to power, and, thercfLle, ii lAe
Progressives could only be pro-
gressive by becoming Democrats
they were about as progressive
as they could we'll be when tho Y
made it possible for t. naro o
Gratis to win, even tho...i. .iaey
were a party under another
name. Thus, accepting the Re
public's contention. both Demo
Gratis and Progressives were pro-
Sressive in 1912, for the Demo-
Gratis are now in power. Has the
country progressed any from
the effects of this cause? Let
the Republic or any other Demo.
cratic supporter of the result of
1912 show US where the country
has profited by this example of
progressiveness. Progressive in
deed! Why, the material welfare
of the nation has fallen back so
far in the past two years that our
progress under Democratic rule
might we'll be classed as a rout.
The nation has been run out of a
period of prosperity whereit was
safely intrencheo under Repub-
lican rule. The Progressives, in
returning to the house of their
fathers. are at last showing a
real spirit of progressiveness.
and the Republic is simply bid
ding the former allies of the
Democracy a sneering good bye.

THE Prohibitionists are at it

that holds up the hands of the
brewery interests, in speaking
of the activity of the Drys in the
Missouri legislature, and says
the members are being harassed

will not be able to devote any

siderations." OF course they
are at it again, the fight is too
nearly won to abandon 1t now.

than the wiping out of traffic
