THE WORST ENEMY

How near to the ideal of Henry
George is the following from the re-
solutions adopted by the American
Federation of Labor at Washington
on March II:
THE Republic that Labor is eager
to defend and sacrafice for is a Re-
public that belongs to the people and
that offers the opportunities that be-
fit a free and intelligent population -
Here is how Henry George express.
ed it:
''The Republic, the true Republic is
no yet here. But her birth-struggle
must soon begin. Not a
republic of landlords and peasants;
not a republic eff miIIionaires and Cf
tramps; not a republic in which some
are masters and some serve. But Il
republic of equal citizens, where com
petition becomes cooperation, and
the inJerdependence of all gives true
independence 10 each; where moral
progress goes hand in hand with in
telIectual progress and material pro-
gTess elevates and enfranchises even
the weakest and IOWIiest.''
1t is useless to deny that the Re
public is not yet here as described
either by the Federation of Labor Or
Jy Henry George. It will never come
until natural resources are freed from
the grasp of monopoly and opened to
all the people. Land monopoly is
rhe real enemy Of the Republic, and
should have first attention in any
war

unanimously ia questions that have
to DO with rosenting Germany's as

last congress.
There is a disposition on the part
C' sowc members to grant sharp au-
thcrity along this line. but not to go
81 far as the department wants. On

exercised over the newspapers ano-
ther sharp division is certain.
The newspapers generally are will

Crnment in every way so far as re-
specting secI cts of the army and the
navy, but they will resent a political
censorship which would prevent dis
cussion of political moves and in this

The financing of a war and sugges-

France for the remainder of the con

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub
stitute for calomel-are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the re-
suit of DR.. Edwards determination not
to treat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. His efforts to Danish it brought
out these little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no bad
after effects. They don't fnjure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums
So do strong liquids 1t is best not to
take calomel, but to let DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel 'loggy" and
"heavy." Note how they clear" clouded
