Did Good Work.

One of the most effective speakers
in the campaign in this county was
Jas. B. Allensworth, of Hopkinsville.
A hurry call was sent Mr.. Aliens
worth during the last few days of
the campaign and at a personal
sacrifice he at once responded to the
call of the campaign committee, say
ing he was ready to go Sany time.
His speeches were well received and
created enthusiasm everywhere.
Mr.. Allensworth's unsuccessful race
for commemorative attorney in the
Hopkinsville district appears to have
left no sore spots on him as Demo.
crat and he has in this campaign
made hundreds of friends in Todd
county. in addition to those he al
ready had, who yet hope to see him
honored as his party loyalty and in
tegrity merits. Todd County Times.

dealings With Germany AS IHo IlSHI Ldnu
of these people it is but proper to expect this
action, though how such policy can be en-
forced is beyond our conception, unless we
merely assume that the other nations will
do the work for us. The mere severance Of
diplomatic relations with Germany would
bring us no nearer a solution of the difficult
ties than at present, though it might in part
satisfy the false pride Of those who insist
our dignity has been violated. The foreign
policy of the administration has been re-
versed so often in it's dealings with Mexico
and with the warning European powers that
the inference is easily drawn that Mr.. Bryan
has repeatedly influenced the President to
the end that the positive tones originally ex-
pressed have not been enforced.
Even now it is not necessary to assume
that Mr.. Bryan believes war, or even the sew
erance of diplomatic relations with Ger
many, is inevitable. AS an advocate of world
peace the Nebraskan has been instrumental
In negotiating treaties between thirty ma
lions His heart, his mind, his very nature
is absorbed in the task of focusing the eyes
of the world upon the horrors of just such
scenes as are today being enacted in Europe.
If he hopes to succeed it is just as essential
that he maintain friendly relations with Ger
many as it is that he retain the respect and
confidence of France and England and Rus
STA. It is inconceivable that his purposes
can be misunderstood nor is it fair to say he
should have resigned months ago in order
that his presence as a member OF the cabinet
would not become embarrassing to the ad-
Upon two occasions he has told
the President he would gladly retire, but
leach time was urged to reconsider. To have
again signed the American note of protest,
however, would have been equivalent to a
sacrifice of his conception of duty in favor of
another, and this Mr., Bryan has never done.
The situation was one demanding the exer-
else of a peculiar degree of manhood, and
though the knowledge that Mr. Bryan re-
signed rather than indorse the note may in
a measure stiffen Germany's determination
not to yield to our requests, the same knoWl-
edge will force the Germans to appreciate
the unyielding sincerity of this advocate of
peace, and to accord him courteous consider
alton when the time comes for a readust-
ment There are those who have criticized
Bryan's every act since he became nation
al figure, and nothing else is to be expected
of this element. Take, for instance, the Com
mercial Appeal, That publication has re-
sorted to every artifice known to the news
paper game to discredit Bryan. It did not
support him in 1896, and never will support
him. It's policies are so thoroughly dictated
by corporate interests that it can see no ele-
mnnt of GOOD in man of RrVan'S TYNE there

"WANTED-An Advocate of Peace
With the rivers of Russia and France
and Belgium and the other European coun-
tries running crimson with human blood
with peaceful commerce destroyed by hordes
of individuals who are daily becoming more
savage than the very beasts;-with mills
and factories quilted by fire, and the very at
mosphere ringing with the shrieks of the
wounded and the groans of the dying;-with
Passion feasting upon the vitals OF Reason
and regard for the rights of others reduced
to scornful phrase, it would seem that II
civilization is to be rescued from the flames
of Hatred and the world itself restored to a
normal state, some individual, some agent OF
mankind, must pave the way for cessation
of that strife which, if continued, will event
ually tear down the pillars of governments
as they have existed for ages. Nowhere in
England is there man whose past and pres
ent inclinations constitute him the logical
representative of Peace. Nor in Russia does
such an one exist. Germany, blinded by her
deep-rooted antipathy for all who come from
the nations with which she is at war, would
never listen to proposals of peace from such
sources Neither would Austria, nor could
they be expected to do so. Japan is allied
with England and France and Russia. Italy
is at war on the same side, China has her own
problems to solve, and Mexico is no haven OF
rest. If peace is to be brought about save
through the medium of utter exhaustion OF
the forces involved and continuation of bat
tie for years, advances must come from this
nation-and some individual whose hands
are not tied, whose actions are not the Off
cial actions of nation, must stand sponsor
for the cause That man is William j. Bryan,
whose resignation as secretary OF state un-
der the Wilson administration becomes effec-
tive today.
The President has declared that there is
such a thing as nation being too right to-
fight He might have added, also, that there
is such thing as two men being too big and
too broad and too sincerely conscientious to-
agree upon problems Of such moment as
those that have been thrust upon the present
executive.
In Bryan's letter of resignation there is
no tinge of sarcasm, no element of criticism,
no word of complaint, That same spirit of
profound admiration and deep devotion for
the splendid character possessed by Mr.. Bry-
an is breathed in the Presidents letter to the
secretary of state. Each in his chosen sphere
is great; each is an example of sublime sin
cerity which all men can applaud, Each is
exerting his marvellous intellect to the same
end though they cannot proceed alike.

DIVIDING OSS.

The loss in the fire at Springdale would have paid for fire auto like the one this city proposes to buy if the bond issue carries And the loss to springlale would have been felt less if ii could be divided among the people of the city just as bond issue divides up the cost. Do you believe that fire loss falls only upon the man who owns the de stroyed property? Was H. L. Stroud the only loser when the mill burned? Every fire Is a direct loss to the entire community. The buying and spending power of the owner is less ened just that much and this is es- pecially true if the owner is a man of moderate means Rogers has been quite fortunate in it's fire losses and yet as one takes the total for the last five years 1t has been consider able and our good fortune may desert us any windy night.

from tbe people

It may be alright for this country to devise means for bringing the poor Belgians here, and arrange to give them homes but when we are informed from reliable statistics that seventy5fiye per cent of our own people are without homes, I very seriously doubt the propriety of urg- ing them too strong to leave the land of their birth too hastily.
 It might be by the middle of the coming summer thet matters would So shape themselves over here that they would be better off among their own people in their native land.
 Our people are a very sympathetic and generous people, and can take care of a host of people, but there is limit to all things. We could not consistently invite the whole world to our shores.

Through The Day
Richmond Carpenter Says
Tanlac Has Worked a Great
Change In His Health.

Another we'll known and popular
citizen today adds his testimony to
that of many local people who have
been benefited by taking the cele-
brated new medicine, Tanlac, that has
taken this city by storm.
Mr.. George H. Kramer. a prominent
and active member of Local Union, No.
912, Carpenters and Joiners of Amer
lea, who resides on Route No. s, Rich
mond, in talking to the Tanlac man to-
day, said:
Last winter l suffered an unusually
severe attack of LaGrippe which left
me all torn up and in a broken down
condition, and as time passed. got no
better-my stomach, liver and kidneys
were all out Of sorts and I was in a
bad way with Indigestion. Ny appe-
tite was gone and the food l did eat,
caused me extreme distress.
Il read in the Richmond papers how
local people, suffering as l did, found
relief through taking Tanlac and
bought bottle. I am now taking my
second one and I can certainly say
that I have been benefited, and am
recommending the treatment to all Of
my friends. My stomach no longer
bothers me and l can eat heartily
without fear of my former distress
My liver and kidneys are active and
normal and my general condition is
improved. I cannot say too
much for Tanlac"

Heat a Menace TO
Lives of Old Folks
Sickness and Misery Ar
Caused by Constipation
in Hot Weather.

People of advancing years should
be very careful of their health during
the hot months. One has only to fol-
low the mortality record of elderly
people as reported in the papers, to
realize that these are the hardest
months of the year for them.
1t is most important to the mainte-
nance of health and vigor at this time
to avoid constipation, with its accom-
panying headaches and muscular and
blood congestion. This can be best
accomplished by the timely use of a
gentle laxative, such as DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin, an ideal remedy that
is pleasant to the taste, easy and nat
ural in it's action and does not grippe.
It's tonic properties build up and
strengthen the system.
Elderly people should avoid strong
physics. cathartics, purgatives, salts
and pills as these afford only temper
