SHE COULD not EAT
Substantial Foods Until She Took
Hoods Sarsaparilla.

Sunapee. N. H.. Feb. 15,1915-A res
ident Of this town. Mrs. s. J. Thurber.
makes this statement as to the great
medicinal merit of Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla.: Il believe it my duty to state
that some years ago took Hoods
Sarsaparilla for ulcers Of the stomach,
from which 1 had suffered for a long
time, and derived great benefit. When
afflicted l had to live on milk and wa
ter and even these things distressed
me greatly, but after taking Hoods
Sarsaparilla I could eat what I chose
without distress.
II cannot say too much in favor of
Hoods Sarsaparilla. I certainly am
as fond Of it as in years gone by.
II miss taking it during spring, I
always go to it before the summer is
over. have not had one Of those
horrid ulcers of the stomach since I
first took it, 20 years ago. My whole
family take it every year."
Hoods Sarsaparilla contains, be-
sides sarsaparilla, those great alter
atives, stillingia and blue flag; those
great anti-bilious and liver remedies,
mandrake and dandelion; those great
kidney remedies, iva ursi, juniper
berries and pipsissewa; those great
stomach tonics, gentian root and wild
cherry bark; and other good remedies,
just what physicians prescribe.

The company is now subject to the au-
thority of 43 public service commissions
and % workmen's compensation or in
dustrial commissions. Besides volumin-
GUS reports to these commissions the
company has also to prepare 8, 100 an
nual reports to tax authorities, these re-
ports being further subdivided by taxing
districts. In all, there are required not
less than II, 700 statements to the public
authorities. In addition the company
has now to collect and remit monthly to
the Government the internal revenue
tax recently levied upon commercial tel
egraph messages. -Annual report of the
Western Union Telegraph Company.
Like requirements, to a certain ex-
tent, have to be met by all corporations
and it is evident that the Western Union
must have to employ additional clerks to
dc this work, and that the cost, as well
as that of the additional government en-
ployees, must be met by the people.
W lille some of these statements may be
necessary, business is hampered in every
direction by the red tape required to
carry out what may properly be called
fool legislation. E. w. Howe's Monthly
says: ''There is probably not decent
citizen of this country who is not trou-
bled unnecessarily by foolish law"
And aside from the annoyance and un-
necessary expense caused by such legis-
4 alton it tends to create disrespect for
all laws.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE IN MONTANA.

From a personal home letter1
BOHEMIAN, Mont, April G. 1915. I exercised
my privilege of citizenship for the first time
yesterday when voted at the municipal elec-
ton for mayor, councilman. treasurer and
police magistrate. There were three cand-
dates in the field for mayor-all good men, l
believe. The Republican candidate was elect
ed, three Republican and one Democratic coun-
cilmen, Democratic treasurer and Judge. The
latter had served acceptsnly for many years.
The exact figures were not available this morn
ing. but it is said that there was good per-
entage of women voters out. The women
generally are interested in the temperance
question, and are anxious to have a city
government which will close up the surplus
saloons soon as their licenses expire. In
this State one saloon is licensed for every 500
people. Those already licensed when the law
was passed were not affected. We have two
saloons over the allowance now, and getting
them closed will be the first effort of the
women.
don't think had any special sensation" in
voting except of amusement,-as while we
were at the polling place middle-aged and
somewhat flustered lady was having more or
less difficulty with her ballot. She evidently
had strong party affiliations, as, when she
discovered that there was no Democratic candi-
date for councilman in this ward-the only
candidate being on the Republican ticket-she
announced in rather bellgerent tone that
she just shouldn't vote for anybody!
We went down at noon-the whole family,
as we couldn't very we'll leave Billie-and !
couldn't help thinking of the remark of dear
lady in another city who. in speaking of the
enfranchisement of women said that she .'just
couldn't bring herself to mix in a rough crowd
at the polling place." We vote in the High
school basement, and when we went down
there were couple of High school boys get.
ting an object lesson in the doorway. Inside
were half a dozen of the men you meet al
church and in the shops and offices every day
acting as ward clerks, etc. Three men and
| two women came in to cast their ballots while
we were there. Billie went into the booth with
che string was too short
| Altogether l must say that didn't feel any
less feminine than did fifteen minutes later

The Republican journal., 1915-04-15

The Republican successes in the cleo
t ions held this month in the Western
States are interpreted by fourteen of the
party leaders as meaning national vote
for the full dinner pail at the earliest op.
yportunity. but their words of encourage
rment are tempered with the warning
that the successful party must heed the
progressive spirit. and the opinion is d.
vided whether the prohibition question
will require local or national settlement.
Senator Penrose said:
The victory would have been more
sweeping and decisive if it had not been
for the war in Europe, which to some
extent, and temporarily. has alleviated
the bad effects Of the Underwood free
Grade law. The industrial depression,
however, has been sufficiently disastrous
to have precipitated the change of senti-
ment. This change has been further &C.

initiative and enterprise by the harassing
espionage of the federal government and
by legislation aimed at business, which
has been destructive of all business en-
terprise. After two years of
trial the people are sick and tired of DEM
ocratic incompetency. There is a pro-
nounced reaction in public sentiment
against the extreme radicalism of late
years, as we'll as against continued med
dlesome interference by the govern ment
in the private affairs of its citizens.
Senator Borah said: 1.-The message to
the country from this election is that of
dissatisfaction with present policies and
of confidence in the Republican party
becoming again what it was in its best
days, a clean liberal constructive party"
Senator Smith said: 1.-THE great issue in
1916 between the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties will be over the tariff, and
the American people will again demand
full protection for capital and la
Dor, and the Republican candidate for
President. if he worthily typifies the rank
and file of the Republican party, will be
triumphantly elected upon that great
national ISSUE" Ex-senator Bristow
said: 1.-THE party slogan in the next cam.
paign will be the overthrow of the pres
ent extravagant and incompetent nation
al administration" Gov. Willis said:
THE great Republican gains in the re-
cent ele ctions indicate an undoubted Re-
publican victory in 1916. The slogan was

people eat Prosperity can be restored

William Hale Thompson, Republica

William Hale Thompson, Republican,
was elected mayor of Chicago April 9th,
by 100000 plurality over Robert Nj.
Sweitzer Democrat. Other city officers
We're won by Republicans by about U.s.
900 plurality and the city council is Re-
publican for the first time in several
years. The women's votes were divided
between the candidates in about the same
proportion as the mems and did not af-
feet the result. Before the election Mr..
Thompson was criticised for injecting
national issues into municipal campaign
and Senator James Hamilton Lewis and
other Democra ic leaders accepted the
CHI allenge and preached that "a vote for
Sweitzer was vote for Wilson," But
when the result of the election was
known, Joseph P. Tumulty, the Presi-
dents secretary, sent from the White
House the comforting assurance to Dem
ocrats that the Republican victory in
Chicago "has no national significance.

AT APPOMATTOX.

To THE EDITOR OF THE N. Y. HERALD: The
article in the Herald this morning sets me
thinking of the time, fifty years ago. when |
stood at the roadside by Appomattox Court
House and watched the head of the column as
it came into view.
In the front of the line, stretching clear
across the road, was small company of flag
bearers, thirty or more, carrying captured Con-
federate flags, and right behind them rodeGen-
eral Sheridan, wreathed in smiles and very hap
py with the cordial reception on the part of his
command, with which was connected At an old
negro cabin opposite We induced the colored
nanny to prepare for us some corn pone and
crackings The beautiful surroundings, and
above all the infinite delight which filled us
with the successful completion of the war,
stand before me-
We marched to the Court House that day
and this incident and the news of the rrible
assassination of Lincoln are as fresh as if they
had occurred but yesterday. l can scarcely
realize that the STRIPPING, smooth faced boy Of
that period is now a veteran of seventy-seven,
strong, well and happy. HoRATIo C. KING.

Who says that am growing old?
Why, bless your blooming eyes,
It's many year fore should see
My mansion in the skies;
What if l am veteran
And did my best, you bet,
You may as we'll just understand
There's life in the old man yet,
The almanac-oh, cut that out;
1t keeps the dates all right,
But age don't count by years, you.know,
Not by a. nameless sight!
And when you fellows size me up
And take account, you bet;
You'll quick admit, without dissent,
There's life in the old man yet.
What's fifty years? Why, bless your soul,
1t seems but yesterday
When we were tramping down the sward-
Virginia's sacred clay
How strange it is the powers that-be
Can now SO quick forget
The men who saved the Union; and
There's life in the old man vet.
Attention, squad! Halt! Steady, there!
Dress back, men, on the right;
Squad, order arms, eyes 'front.' Sound off
All, tits noble sight!
And when the country needs these men
They'd go again, you bet,
For age don't dim their loyal fire
There's life in the old man yet.
