PAYING OUR DEBT TO FRANCE.

Hundreds of thousands of Ameri- cans will approve the proposal of Senator Shoot that fund be raised ny popular subscription to present France with $500,O0O,0O0, the Utai7 senator's plan contemplating that the government shall constitute whatever amount is lacking in popular sub- scriptions to make up the half million dollars.
 The plan for America to thus show her appreciation of the friendship of France, and the aid extended the founders of this great republic in the revolutionary war was first suggest ed by New York newspaper, and be- cause of the gratitude every Ameri- can feels for France the plan im- mediately met with popular approval, indicating that the people of the United States are willing the govern ment should take this means of pay ing debt the richest nation in the world owes to France, who proved "A friend in need,
 "Is a friend indeed"

ble as to render a campaign or a con- test for membership in the conven- tion unbecoming, and I am sure you agree that our delegates should be selected through the thoughtful quiet and deliberate action of the people.
 I was not seeker for the place and in the absence of your petition I should not, of my own motion, have aspired to become member of the convention; yet, at the same time, 1 believe it to be an honor which any citizen might well afford to covet notwithstanding the personal sacri. flee involved.
 In obedience to your request and assuring you of my desire to render any service to my state and county of which my fellow citizens may think me capable. I shall have my name placed on the ballot in the primary ordered by the Democratic party, to which claim allegiance; and if I should be selected as one of the nomi- nees from Jefferson county I shall comply with the requirements of the law prescribed for candidates in the general election.
 The confidence you manifest in me by your petition calls from my heart the deepest sentiments of gratitude and appreciation.

TODAY.
 SICK TOMORROW
Dose of Nasty Calomel Makes You Sick and You Lose a Days Work.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury. Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug gish liver. when calomel comes into contact with sour bile it crashes into it, causing cramping and nausea.
 If you feel bilious, headachy, con- stipated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get a 50-cent bot tie of Dodson's Liver Tone, which Is harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and if it doesn't start your liver and straighten you Up better and quicker than nasty calomel and without mak- ing you sick, you just go back and get your money. /
 If you take calomel today you'll be sick and nauseated tomorrow; be- sides. 1t may salivate you. while if you take Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up feeling great, full of ambi- ton and ready for work or play. It's harmless, pleasant and safe to give to children; they like it.

KAISER'S AGENTS WORK AS
 PACIFICISTS.

|enator Henry Cabot Lodge was hero of a day of stirring events Washington Monday. The Mas |husetts senator, statesman, |olar and historian displayed he is kht there" with his fists, despite 67 years. Alexander Bannwart, a native of Switzerland, of Ger D parentage, was the man who pro- Jed Senator Lodges ire by first using the senator of cowardice then of being a liar. After being bred by MT. Lodge, Bannwart was pmeled by a man of his own age, then by a half-grown messenger like other so-called pacificists, Anwart was inconsistent. He ad. hted the United States should not er the war-he was a peace-at-any- De man. And yet he started a 1t simply because a man he had lsed of cowardice called him 3
 
 he incident also served to throw 5e light on the motive and atti- b of some of these so-called paci- e. While it is probable that men
 w. J. Bryan, Dr. David Starr
 lan and others like them are sim
 in their advocacy of peace at price. the Bannwart-Lodge inci- | demonstrates that pro-German kpathizers are sailing under the le of pacificists, using Bryan, nan ct al. in the cause of the Ter and to the detriment of the ted States.
 hnnwart and others of his ilk are
 pacificists. They are followers he kaiser, less concerned in the pr, dignity and rights of America
 Americans than they are in fur ling the fortunes of the militaris-
 and ambitious Hohenzollern Rsty.
