A PATHETIC CASE.

The faithful old household ca
left TO wall disconsolately upon
the barren ck-steps while thu
family goes away for a summer
vacation has nothing on John VI
Parker in the matter Of hunger
loneliness and neglect. For the
benefit Of those who didn't hap
pen to read the item at the time
it may be pointed out that Mr..
Parker was nominated for the
vice presidency on the progress
siye ticket. and Immediately aft
erward the party went to pieces
amid weeping and wailing from
variors and sundrv other desert
ed cats who. like Parker. did not
have to remain officially on the
doorstep.
Under ordinary circumstances,
even the nomination for vice
vice president on homeless
ticket is not entirely bereft of its
compensationS. In a way if is an
honor to be singled ont from the
common herd and paired with
real presidential nomipee. 1t is
something to hand down to pos
terity. which never cares to 60
into the details Of such matters.
Everybody can understand the
pardonable pride of the vet I'M
budded lscions Of the house Of
Parkeg who IA hundred years
hence will point to the oil paint
ING Of the original John NJ. and
boast that their great grandfath-
er was once a candidate for the
vice presidency and was beaten
by Charles w. Fairbanks after a
glorious struggle. That is the
rightful heritage that Mr.. Parker
hoped to leave to posterity. The
hope of this is about the only
satisfaction to be had from run
nino for the vice presidency on a
minority ticket-that and contri-
buting to the campaign fund.
But Mr.. Parker now finds him
self in the anomalous position Of
being a candidate for vice presi-
dent upon ticket that has no
candidate for president. Be-
sides this there is rather dismal
prospect that his party will have
no presidential electors in the
Geld. in which ease his name can

now stop it, they would have les
chance OF having Their appetite
satisfied than by the war continu
ing.
Manifestly there can be onl,
two reasons that could have in
duced any of the nations now al
war to engage in it, and these are
that each nation believed either
that it would gain ADVANTAGE I,
It's lnhbitants at the expense of
the inhabitants Of other nations
or that an existing advantage that
Its inhabitants enjoyed would be
taken from them.
= What IS it that the inhabitants
OF one country want that belongs
to the nhabitants of another
country?
1T is not the possession of per
sons. The day of chattel slavery
has passed. 1t is not the posses
sion OF the product Of labor of the
land. The day of piracy is over.
1t can only be the right to trade
with the Inhabitants of other
countries, by the expenditure of
less effort, for the possession of
the products of labor and the
privilege Of using land.
/ Therefore, each of the nations
at war must believe that after the
end Of the war, trade will be car
RED on by its inha bitants with
less expenditure Of effort than if
the nation had not engaged IN the
war. .
This is the day of restricted and
fostered trade, and this was is be-
ing waged because some men want
to have advantage in trade over
others, either through lessening of
comparative restrictions Of trade
or through comparative advant-
age III the fostering of trade.
In other words, the people of !
each nation at war are hyhtin, !
for the purpose Of making the !
people of other nations, to a great
er or less extent, trade slaves,
and to obtain for themselves the
loot that, they expect will result
from this trade slavery.
We are travelling upon the road i
to freedom, fighting as we 90.
We first fought to obtain loot or \
prevent looting. We next fought n
TO obtain chattel slaves or prevent
;hattel slavery. Now we fight to l
obtain advantage or to abolish adj
vantage in trade. II
When we fought for loot it was
or forced trade.
When we fought for slaves it
vas not the men we wanted, but
he power to force them to trade
he product of their future labor.

All the snow has left the mountain
sides, and a very few days of dry
weather will make the forest floor a
mass of tinder, to be ignited by the
smallest spark. To add to the hazard,

and thousands of fishermen will be
travelling along the mountain streams
every day during the months OF

The fire warden system has been
placed on a working basis, and every
other preparatory step has been taken
which the small amount of money
available will allow: but no fire war

been heavy and frequent in the forest

somewhat reduce the fire danger; but
two weeks of dry weather will COM

these suggestions to the man who does
not want his favorite camping ground

Break your match in two before yor

Don't Let a Cold
Get a Good Start

The way to check cold is to fight
it from the first. Even the worst
maladies often are easily conquered
if attacked early enough. Colds may
lead to asthma, bronchial troubles
and pulmonary affections In the
treatment of these one of the first
needs is to build up body resistance.
Eckman's Alternative often has as
sisted in such upbuilding. AS a treat
ment for the troubles named, it has
been used for more than twenty
years. And in many instances it has
effected lasting relief.
AS with any other medicine, it
should be regarded only as a first aid
to right care and hygienic living -
and a safe one. For it contains no
narcotics, opiates or habit-forming
drugs of any sort.
