Publicity, Rather Than
Conviction, Best Remedy

New York, Dec. 5-Publicity rather
than conviction is the best means of
curbing the thousands of "get- rich
quick schemes that have sprung up
in the orgy of postwar speculation,
according to Huston Thompson, fed
eral trade commissioner, who ad-
dressed the Association of Life In
surance Presidents at today's session
OF its annual convention.
Conviction rarely helps" he de-
clared; publicity is the effective
remedy. From six years experience
in the department of justice and less
than year in the federal trade COM
mission, do not hesitate to affirm
that the statute which, through pub
licity. seeks to prevent is far more
eficacious than the one which is
parental and punitive"

Washincton's Peculiar Fitness.

1t is the conclusion almost unani-
nous among historians that George
Washington was the only man among
the Fathers Of the Republic fitted
mentally and temperamentally to car
ry the revolution to victory. The tre-
mendous burden not only of creating
and organizing an army from raw and
undisciplined volunteers in the face
of a strong enemy, but also of or
ganizing the patriotism of the country
through voluminous correspondence
with the governors and leading men
of the colonies and of maintaining
both organizations through weary
years of military disasters, political
and petty jealousies, would
have crumpled the back of any other
man the revolution produced. He had
to be at one and the same time gen.
eral, diplomat and statesman.

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle OF
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper Large and medium size bottles
for sale at all drug stores.-Adv.

REVENUE.

In the debate in the house on the
wartime prohibition amendment to the
agriculture appropriation bill. Con-
gresham Rainey of Illinois made a
spirited speech on the revenue feature
of the measure. He said:
"As a member of the ways and
means committee, In obtaining reve-
nue. for this government, have always
voted for the highest possible tax upon
alcoholic liquors. have supported to
the best OF my ability at all times the
movement for the increase OF the taxes
on alcoholic liquors Of all kinds. But
as member Of that committee, en-.
gagged for six years and even for a
longer period than that, in solving
these questions of revenue, / think
am able to say that we can run this
great government without saloons and
we will find revenue somewhere with
which to carry on this republic without
continuing further this alliance with
saloons. have seen whole commune
ties, blasted for years by saloons,
emerge into prosperity when saloons
were banished from within their boun-
daries. expect to see prosperity still
prevail in all sections Of these United
States when the saloons disappear.
prosperity even greater than we have
enjoyed in the past"

Boys Hero Worship.

In this deliverance there is little
comfort for the liquor advocate who
delights to maintain that prohibition

Why George Washington Was Not
Formally Made President Until
April 80, in 1889.

Although March is the date set by
law for the ceremony Of the Inaugural
ton of our presidents, there was one
occasion when the rule was not OBJ
served, for George Washington was in
augurated on April 80. 1889, instead OF
March A.
When the Constitution had been
ratified by the requisite number of
states the Continental congress by
resolution of September IS, 1888, set
the first Wednesday of the following
March March 4, 1881 as the slime
for commencing proceedings" under
the new form of government.
Owing to delays of various kinds,
such as difficulties of travel, etc.. mem
bers of the first congress were very
slow to assemble In New York, and a
quorum of both houses was not OBJ
tanned until April 6. The counting Of
the electoral vote, the notification Of
Washington of his election to his high
office, and his journey from Mount
Vernon to New York took until April
%, and his inauguration was set for
April 80.
His term of office was, however, con-
strued as having commenced on March
4, the date set by, the Continental com
gress for the inauguration of the new
government, and SO it came to an end
on March 4, 1893, although it lacked
nearly two months of the four years
provided for by the Constitution

Readers of history recall that, in or
