delegates sign the demand are the

On the right of the city to seize the
automatic property, the statement
says:
THE forfeiture clause in a fran
chise is the city's greatest protection
from abuse by public service corpor-
atoms. Shall we throw it away?
Failure to enforce this clause in the
automatic telephone ordinance rem
ders the forfeiture clauses in similar
franchises equally useless.
''The present corporation counsel
was member of the firm that repre-
scented the automatic company inter
ests, even after he was appointed as
sistant corporation counsel for the
city. Is he the proper person to rep
resent the city in this matter if for
feture proceedings are commenced?
Are we justified in asking for the ap-
pointment of special counsel to pro-
tect our interests?
six men control all of the public
utilities of Chicago? Are we willing
to permit these six men now holding
property belonging to the city by
right of forfeiture to sell this prop
ETY. to the telephone trust for $780,
900 and put the proceeds IN their own
pockets? Are we, as citizens of Chi
cago, ready to surrender further
rights to these six men by permitting
the sale of the automatic telephone
system?"

LAPORTE, Sept 14.-Following
the evidence adduced Monday at

of unspeakable outrage and mistreat-
ment, commencing within 10 minutes

any attempt at mob violence. Mrs.
Kramer told the coroner that her
husband threatened to stab her and
place her body in the pool of blood

PLEADS FOR DEFENSE
BEFORE INSURANCE MEN
Edwin DENLY Says Unpreparcdness is
Like Living i'm Fools
Paradise.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. Sept. IA
Americans. SO long as their nation is
unprepared for defense, are living in
a fools paradise. according 10 Edwin
DENLY OF Detroit DENLY. former
congress and who is the brother Of
Charles DENLY. former ambassador to
China, spoke Monday night on In
sUrance for the Nation" at the Lin
coin National Life Insurance Co.'S an
nual banquet
Those who oppose the most reas-
enable military preparation say that
preparedness never saved any state
from war" he said Probably not,
but did unpreparedness ever save a
nation?
Remember that we Americans who
preach so loudly have won every acre
OF our land by the sword, or secured
il by purchase from another who
himself by the sword won that which
ne sold us.
Tot alone are we charged with the
sacred duty of defending our firesides,
but we have imposed upon ourselves a
gigantic task in the protection Of the
entire hemisphere through the Mon
roe doctrine.
Consider Mexico After the great
war is over if MexicO's unhappy plight
continues, will not one or more of
the European nations interested there
ask for an accounting for our stew
ardship and demand that, if we can
not or will not do II, they be allowed
10 set the uptOrn house in order, res
cue their people and salvage their
wrecked property?
Two or three things, il seems to
me. there are that we might do:
First, urge congress to get the best
advice from experts on national de-
Tense and then support congress in
taking that advice.
Second. proclaim and insist that
for Americans there is no fatherland
but the United States There can be
no divided allegiance.
And last discourage disparage-
ment of other peoples and undue self

NOTIONS

Shih-k'ai when they feared that he
was seeking power for himself, ceased
their opposition and promised to send
to him not less than a million dollars
gold from abroad to stop the oppres-
sions of the Japanese. They trusted
him when they needed a strCng man.
Japan stands for empire. The Chi
nese people, including these conserva-
tive business men, fear the Japanese
above all others as representatives Of
Imperialism. They like and favor
Americans above all others as repre-
sentatives of republicanism, because
the American republic has not at
tempted aggression but has tried to
deal with them justly. When it comes
TO swaying public opinion, there is
much in a name; and millions Of
Chinese, at home and abroad, who
have at heart the republic, are pre-
sary their lives, under the direction
of a republican president, TO oppose
foreign imperialism; but these same
men would give their money and their
lives to oppose the same leader II
they thought he was trying to estab-
lish in China a personal Imperialism.
Yuan Shih-Kai is much stronger as
president than he would be as en-
perOr; in his position as president he
is able to render TO his country a far
greater service. And his country needs
the best service than he can give.

A FINE TREATMENT
FOR CATARRH
Easy to Make and Costs Little.

Catarrh is such an insidiOus disease
and has become SO prevalent during
the past few years that its treatment
should be undertoOd by all.
Science has fully proved that Ca
tarrh is a constitutional disease and
therefore requires a constitutional
treatment. Sprays, inhalers, salves
and nose douches seldom if ever give
lasting benefit and often drive the dis
ease further down the air passages
and into the lungs.
If you have Catarrh or Catarrhal
deafness or head-noises, go TO your
druggist and get one ounce OF Par
mint Double strength. Take this
home and add 10 it Il pint Of hot
water and ounces OF sranulated
sugar; stir until dissolved, take one
tablespoonful times a day.
