FIRST CURE YOURSELF.

Several months ago the editor OF
the Chicago Tribune took the whole
South to task and held it respon-
sible for a lynching that occurred
in small town in Georgia. All
Southern papers denounced the lyn-
ching, as it should have been de-
nounced. But the Mr.. Editor of the
Tribune was not satisfied with ad-
dressing his remarks to the COM
munity in which the lawlessness oc-
Cured. He took it upon himself 10
"bawl OUT the South in general,
citing troubles in Kentucky and her
sister states as reasons why this Sec
ton was unfit TO be a part of the
United States. Said it was unciyil-
lied and all that.
The editorial was not so well TAX
en-, even in the North, as its writer
might have thought. 1t had a gen.
uine Southern kick and the Mr.. Edi-
tor of the Chicago Tribune was the
victim. Since then there has been
no peace for the denouncer of the
land we love so well. Many things
have been brought home to him, fol
every paper in the South "arose with
one accord" Only a few days after
the editorial appeared a preacher
was lynched in the very outskirts
of Chicago. Other incidents, one by
one, have been called to the atten
ton of the Chicago journalist tS
prove we are not the worst people
In the world. But now comes th'
Youngstown strike.
We have had our lynchings, and
other acts of lawlessness, all o.
which we deplore. but when. IN tn
modern history of the South, hal
there been such scene as occurred
in the little city of Youngstown
Ohio. last Friday night? Men mad

The Conntry,s Best Assurance.

Inc NtthftFs hstst hsS"se"eN'
What this country needs is ade'
quate Protection, and we must have
il in order to hold the foreign trade
which the present impetus has given
us. Unless we have this Protection,
we shall see ourselves sliding down
the commercial scale like a small
boy on a big toboggan on long slick
hill.
Business is business, and every
man in business Is trying to do the
hest he can for himself. Nations
do not differ. A lame Tariff is a
great menace to a country; a prop
erly adjusted Tariff is a country's
best assurance of continued prosper
ity. Let us profit by the conspic-
nous example of Germany and see
to it that the Fre-Trade bogy gets a
smash in the solar plexus and every
otherwhere that will knock it out

stipation and indigestion and will
find Chamberlain's Tablets highly
beneficial. Not SO good as a three or
four mile walk every day. but very
