ZONES sometimes wakes up feeling
u and in consequence the family know it
without his telling them in so many words.
Mrs. ZONES attributes it to biousness and
if it doesn't wear off during the day she
gives him dose of liver medicine at night.
The next morning he feels better and she
gives him coffee for breakfast,-and the next
morning,-and the next morning. And in
few days Jones has another spell.
Dear Mrs. Jones means all right, but she
doesn't to realize that if she didn't give
Jones his morning coffee she wouldn't have
to give him the liver medicine and Jones
would feel all right without both.
Housewives everywhere have found
that Instant Postum takes the place of break
fast coffee perfectly. And that is only one of
the reasons why Instant Postum has wholly
suPplanted the use of coffee on thousands
upon thousands of American breakfast tables.

Among them is the Chamberlain bill
for a modified form of universal mil

FOOT BALL DOPE


The Yale High School foot ball
eleven journeyed to Richmond Friday
last and suffered defeat at the hands
OF. the pig-skin aggregation Of that city's
high school. Out-weighiRg the visi-
tors fifteen pounds to the man, the X
boys had little opposition in plunging
the skirmish line. Yet when the ball
was in possession of Yale the l40 Id.
line of the latter could not hold off the
defense. Feature plays were made by
Tice, VanN orman, Adams, Ludington
and Lawson; and in fact, there was no
poor playing on the part OF the Yale
line, comprising besides the above men
toned Wadsworth, Doelle, Ritter,
Smith and Mcintyre.
Yale has been practicing some open
style of play in readiness for the game
of this week Friday with Brown City
on the latter's gridiron. Williams hav-
ing recovered from his injury will be
on the line in his old post. 1t is hoped
that the local boys will put up game
showing and bring home the bacon.
Vassar will play on the local grounds
about the 18th or 10Th of October.

% CONGRESS
THE RAILROADS I
Urges the Passage Of the
Corrupt Practices Act Reg
dating the Expenditure Of
Money In Elections and Fa-
vors More Freedom Of Com
bination to Those Engaged
In Foreign Commerce.

noting the foreign commerce Of the
country than is now thought by some
to be legal under the terms of the
laws against monopoly, the bill amend
ing the present organic law of Porto
Rico and the bill proposing more
thorough and systematic regulation of
the expenditure of money in elections,
commonly called the corrupt practices
act. need not labor my advice that
these measures be enacted into law.
Their urgency lies in the manifest cir
cumstances which render their adop-
ton at this time not only Opportune
but necessary. Even delay sNouM Sc
riously leopard the interests OF the
country and Of the government.
Immediate passage Of the bill to reg
:ulate the expenditure of money in
elections may seem to be less neces-
sary than the immediate enactment of
the other measures to which refer,
because at least two years will elapse
before another election In which fed
eral Offices are to be filed, but it would
greatly relieve the public mind If this
important matter were dealt with
while the circumstances and the dan.
gers to the public morals of the pres
ent method Of obtaining and spending
campaign funds stand clear under re-
cent observation and the methods of
expenditure can be frankly studied in
the light Of present experience And
delay would have the further serious
disadvantage Of postponing action I'M.
til another election was at hand and
some special object connected with it
might be thought to be in the mind of
those who urged it. Action can be
taken now with facts for guidance and
without suspicion of partisan purpose.
En'arains Our Export Trade.
shall not argue at length the de-
STABILITY Of giving freer hand in the
matter of combined and concerted eff
fort to those who shall undertake the
essential enterprise of building up our
export trade. That enterprise will

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1916-12-06

has indeed already assumed, a magni-
tude unprecedented in our experience.
We have not the necessary instrument
talities for its prosecution. 1t is deem
ed to be doubtful whether they could
be CREATED upon an adequate scale un:
der our present laws. We should clear
away all legal obstacles and create
basis of undoubted law for it which
will give freedom without permitting
unregulated license. The thing must
be done now, because the opportunity
is here and may escape us If we hest
tate or delay.
The argument for the proposed
amendments of the organic law of
Porto Rico is brief and conclusive. The
present laws governing the island and
regulating the rights and privileges of
its people are not Just. We have. Gre
ated expectations Of extended privi-
lege which we have not satisfied.
There is uneasiness among the people
of the island and even a suspicious
doubt with regard to our intentions
concerning them which the adoption
of the pending measure would happily
remove. We do not doubt what we
wish to do in any essential particular.
We ought to do it at once.
Legislative Annals Enriched.
There are other matters already adj
vanced to the stage of conference be-
tween the two houses of which 1t is
not necessary that I should speak
Some practicable basis of agreement
concerning them will no doubt be
found and action taken upon them.
Inasmuch as this Is, gentlemen, prob
ably the last occasion l shall have to

with what genuine pleasure and salts
faction l have co-operated with you In
