A SUPERFLUOUS p ARTY.

Nothing less becomes the Prohibition
party than the way in which it is taking
leave of life. For half century it put
Presidential ticket in the field and
waged a vigorous campaign. Ii never
won a single electoral vote; When pro
hibition came, it came as the enaetmen-
of the two old parties, which had donet
their best to keep the question out of
politics. Yet the Prohibition party always
had the respect of open-minded men and
women. Now with its cause won, it Is
being made a vehicle for candidates who
have been defeated for nomination in
their own parties. Senator Thompson,
losing the Republican nomination for
governor, wins the Prohibition nomlna-
ton. Mrs. Boole, falling for the Repub-
liean nomination for Senator, is successful
in obtaining the Prohibition nomination.
1t must be admitted that the question of
what the Prohibitionists are to do with

meeting in Washington today, to continue
its investigation of Governor Cox's charge
that the Republican National Committee
was planning for great campaign fund,
and it is said this will be its final session.
No wonder the majority members of the
committee are anxious to drop the matter,

RIPPING RHYMES
BY Walt Mas
DISEASES AND REMEDIES.

I've tried all kinds of remedies
which are osed to cure disease,
and there are some which give re-
lief from anguish, fantods, pam
and grief. Some pills will drive away
the pain, and leave YOU feeling safe
and sane, but only for a while, be
sure! There is relief, but there's no
cure. The dark green pains will
all come back and make Your
weary sinews crack, and smoking,
slide along your bones until YOU
fill the night with groans. Beware
the pills, whate'er their hue, the
green, the purple or the blue, which
hull you for little while, and seem
to urge hopeful smile. For when
the aches come back again, as they
viii come to pillfed men, they'll
climb your tendons and your thews,
and they'll have spikes upon their
shoes. There's but one cure for
fieshy ills, and that cures not dis
guised as pills. The Good Book
tells of one old gent who meath his
maladies was bent; he often to the
doctors slept, "and with his fathers
then he slept" And that the only
cure | know for all life s miseries and
woe; Just cast away the juice of
squills, the porous plasters and the
pills, the trusses and the liver pads,
and 90 and sltimber with your dads.
