Now that the enthusiasm and excite
ment OF his trip is over, the President
must look back upon some OF his utter
ances with misgivings If not regret. In
fact. we confidently predict that he will
"dop" again.
1t is not difficult to understand that
President Wilson wished to win, as far
az possible, the approval Of those Ger
man Americans who resented his bitter
words concerning unpatriotic hyphen
atee: but it is not so easy to see why
he led himself on from lukewarm and
conservative advocate Of preparedness
for defense" to waving a doctrine Of
excitement and fear. and then to the
sounding Of clarion demand for the
greatest navy in the world and for
country wide military training
At St Louis the President declared
70 thousands, land " OUGHT, IN
NY JUDGMENT, TO BE INcoMPAR.
ABLY THE GREATEST NAVY IN
THE WORLD"
There's a jump for you A jump
from opposition to preparedness to a
policy that makes Col Roosevelt ap-
pear like an apostle Of the softer and
gentler way
But, as we remarked in the begin
ming, we shall expect the President to
"change his mind for he cannot deny
or refute the applause stirring decla-
ration But the question arising is
did he deliberately assume this unex-
pected and consequential attitude be-
cause he knew that il anything on earth
would appeal to these German thous-
ands Of St. Louis it would be a direct
challenge to Great Britain as mistress
OF the seas?
Those Americans Of German extrac /,
ton in St. Louis and Milwaukee would
vote their last dollars toward an Am
erican navy that could dominate the
seas, regardless OF the needlessness of
it, and the criminal absurdity of the
policy. Undoubtedly the Presidents
spectacular climax of his address and
Of his West winning" journey. pleas
ed the German hyphena.es. Does it
please the sober second thought of
the American people. or Of the Presi-
dent himself:
Americans are asking for prepared
ness for defense" not for a world -chal-
longing. war-inviting. chip on-our-
shoulder policy.
To our mind, the President crowned
his trip with 'slop," and the sooner
he "fops," as he has a habit OF doing
in his career of reckless opportunism,
the more confidence the country will
have in him.

MANUR1Cl"
THE NEWEST
DISCOVERY IN CHEMISTRY

This 4 Q recent discovery of Doctor
Pierce, who is head of the Inv2lids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
Ny. Experiments at Doctor Pierce's
Hospital for several years proved that
there is no other eliminator of uric acid
that can be compared to it. For those
easily recognized symptoms of infiam-
nation as backache, scalding urine
and frequent urination, as well as sedi-
ment in the urine, or if uric acid in the
blood has caused rheumatism, it is
simply wonderful how surely "Anuric"
acts. The best of results are always
obtained in cases of acute rheumatism
in the joints, in gravel and govt, and
invariably the pains and stiffness which
90 frequently and persistently accom-
pany the disease rapidly disappear.
Go to your nearest drug store and
simply ask for a 50-cent package OF
wAnuric," manufactured by DR.. Pierce,
or even write Doctor Pierce for free
sample. If you suspect kidney or blad-
der trouble, send him . sample of your
water and describe symptoms. Doctor
Pierce's chemist will examine it, then
DR.. Pierce will report to you, without
fee or charge.
NorE: French scientists affirm that
WAnuricr is thirty seven times more
active than lithia in eliminating uric
acid, and is a harmless but reliable
chemical compound that may be safely
given to children, but should be used
only by grown-ups who actually wish TO
restore their kidneys to perfect health,
by conscientiously using one box-.or
more in extreme cases AS "Anuric !"
(thanks to Doctor Pierce's achievementl
is by far the most perfect kidney and
bladder corrector obtainable.

No Place to Go.


The happiest nights
/ ever knew
Are those when I've
No place to go.
When the missus says
When the day is through,
Tonight We haven't
A thing to do
O. the joy of it,
And the peace untold,
OF sitting round
In my slippers old,
With my pipe and book
In my easy chair,
And the thought l
Needn't go anywhere.
Needn't hurry
My evening meal
Nor force the smiles
That l do not feel.
But can grab a book
From nearby shelf,
And drop all sham
And be myself.
o, the charm of it
And the comfort rare;
Nothing on earth
With it can compare;
And I'm sorry for him
Who doesn't know
The Joy Of having
No place to 60
