legislation as would restore to the
Sherman antitrust law the strength OF
which 1t had been deprived by judicial
Interpretation. Where the statute
which has restored this strength?
The platform favored single presi-
Dental term. urged a constitutional
amendment making the President In
eligible for reelection and pledged the
candidate of the convention to this
principle. Yet no joint resolution for
this amendment has been passed by
the Democratic Congress and the can
didate pledged to this principle is the
candidate for reelection.
The party denounced the waste OF
money under Republican administra-
ton and yet increased that waste I'M
der their own.
They promised legislation to sup
press gambling in wheat; where is
that legislation.
They favored the exemption from
ing through the Panama canal yet
their President demanded and con-
gress enacted that there should be no
such exemption.
Yet the platform says: "Our pledges
are made to be kept in office as well
as relied upon during the campaign"
After this history, of what value is any
Democratic pledge for any purpose
whatsoever?

BETTER Than CALOMEl
Thousands Have Discovered DR.
Edwards Olive Tablets are
a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub
stitute for calomel-are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the re-
suit of DR.. Edwards determination not
to treat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. His efforts to banislr it brought
out these little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the
good tina. calomel does, but have no bad
after effects. They don't injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums
So do strong liquids. It is best not to
take calomel, but to let DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take Dr.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy" and
"heavy." Note how they clear" clouded
brain and how they "perk up" the spir-
its. l0c and Csc box. All druggists.

ture of the article prohibited You
must strike the fountain head
We deplore drunkenness. We abom-
inate the evils OF strong drink, but we
DO not believe in prohibition as the
right and proper method, because it
has been tried and found wanting. We
do know. all of us in Annapolis, that
right here in our own city when there
was prohibition. there never was. be
fore or since. so much drunkenness.

No, it is not prohibition we ought to

not be so many saloons. Suppose An
napolis saloons were limited to four,
one in each ward. at one thousand
dollars license each, there would then
bc far less drinking and drunkenness
