CUT THIS OUT AND TAKE IT
WITH YOU.

A man often fOrgets the exact
name of the article he wishes to
purchase, and as a last resort takes
something else instead. That is al.
ways Disappointing and unsatisfac-
tory. The safe way is to cut this out
and take it with you so as to make
sure of getting Chamberlain's Tab
lets. You will find nothing quite so
satisfactory for constipation and in
digestion.

Blanket opposition to everything Viii
son supports is a mistake politically
as we'll as fundamentally. The rocks
which lie in the path of the republi-
can party today are the narrow par
tisanship of such men as Sherman, of
Illinois, and the blind opposition to
everything which Wilson supports on
the part of Senator Borah, of Idaho.
A very large proportion OF the peo-
pie of this country are independent in
political thought TO degree which
makes it impossible for the blind or
unreasonable leader to carry them
with him in opposition to sounI fun
damentals in which they Lelieve.
Sound thinking Americans know that
the world is in turmoil. The old order
is changing. The people of the earth
need the support which America alone
can give. Wilson stands for a general
policy of participation on the part of
this country in world affairs. The
people will approve this policy in its
general outlines We have been do
ing work worth while in this connec-
!on in the Philippines. A small group

REDS OF BOTH SIDES

Washington Post-Mayor Ole Han
son of Seattle, says that he has co-
served ION the fringe" of capital, as
we'll as ION the fringe" of labor, a
small element preaching or working
against the process of peaceful evo-
luton, which is the touch-store of de
mocracy and this country's surest
guarantee of political stability and
wellbeing. His prescription for the
cure of differences between employer
and employe is the elimination of
these reds of both sides" and the
frank and friendly cooperation of 9th
er elements.
This is a sensible statement very
happily phrased. 1t is necessary to
recognize that there are reds on both
sides" The capitalist who would at
tempt to obstruct and prevent changes
desired by the majority is as much
a red as the radical agitator who
would reSore to revolution to destroy
democracy's process of lawful and
peaceful evolution. The sacred right
for which Americans are battling in
this critical time is not to bring this
change or to prevent that, but to make
it absolutely certain that the process
for change written into the constitu.
tion as the keystone of this govern
ment shall neither be destroyed by
revolution nor violated by obstruc.
ton.
To preserve this right the American
people will take whatever measure.
may fit the case whenever the reds
radical or reactionary, attempt to de-
feat the will of the majority. Forum
ately these reds constitute but a small
element with either capital or labor
and their strength cannot be sufficient
to accomplish more than a temporary
suspension Of the process of lawful
evolution in any case. Where this is
done, or attempted, whether with the
| tools of mob violence or of Legislative
/ trickery, a remedy will be applied by
the majority.

HONOR THE MECHANICS

Omaha World Herald -- European
writer's are expressing aStonishment
at the work of American engineers
and mechanics in France. IT Is often
asserted that their work was as i'm
portant as that of the fighting forces
at the front, for without these me-
chanics, the fighting forces could never
have gotten to the front They built
937 miles of standard guage and 338
miles of narrow gauge railroads, to-
tai of 1,475 miles, and gave to France
an extensive railroad system that it
did not possess before the American
mechanics and engineers arrived.
They not only built this system, but
they equipped it with 1,055 iocono-
tives, 14,302 cars and had several
thousand more cars and more than
1000 locomotives on the ground which
had not been utilized when the arms
tice was declared. Besides transport
ing the troops to the front, this rail
road system carried millions of tons
of supplies. While the fighting was
going on these engineers and mechan-
