whereby nations may wax strong and prosper
GUS. Europeans have sought their strength in a
narrow nationalism that constantly envied the
possessions of their neighbors. The American
republics have found their strength in the lib
erty accorded to their people, and in the institu-
tons that have prospered under the constitutions
which they have adopted the basic law of
their lands By revering liberty, they have in
the main refrained from warning against each
other for territorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and lust for
power.
The European nations that still have not
learned the lesson of living side by side in peace
and tranquility might we'll study the history of
the American republics to learn the secret of
prospecting without spending millions for war
preparations.
"A fuller understanding of the peaceful prin-
ciples upon which the American republ s have
based their relations for many generations is
growing in this hemisphere. The unwilling of
the statue in New York to Bolivar will strength
en- and intensity the friendly relation that exists
between the southern republics and our own
nation.

The Home Rule Election

The adoption or rejection of the city manager
form of government now rests with the voters of
Richmond. The date of the election has been
set, and nothin, will prevent the adoption OF
new form of municipal government but the re-
fusal of the voters to give it their support.
The preliminary steps in arranging for the
election in Richmond have been devoid of the
confusion and argument that has marked pro-
cedure in many cities where the movement is
being opposed by interests that prefer to abide
by the old regime.
This seems to indicate an almost unanimous
desire on the greater part of the voters to aban-
don the present system for one that will give the
community an efficient government at mini
mum cost.
The outcome of the election can hardly be
doubted Richmond has sought chance to
change it's form of government for many years,
and it would be strange reversal, indeed, If the
voters would reject the new system when it is
within their grasp.

THOUGHT MY LIVER
WAS ON A STRIKE
Head Was Giddy, Spots Danced Be-
fore Ny Eyes, Breath Foul, Was
Tired and Drowsy. Dreco Wiped 1t
Out. Dreco Now Sells at Old Prices.

81 have suffered for quite a while
with sluggish liver; at times l would
get so dizzy, would have to stop and
sit down spots would dance before
my eyes; I had headaches and bad
taste in my mouth; my appetite be-
came poor. and my food did not d.
gest nor give me strength; my stom-
ach was often sour, while gas and
bloating caused me much uneasiness.
The pains often extended round to
my back and limbs. so that 1t was an
effort to keep on with my work" says
Mr.. F. NJ. Lamb, living on Conners
Road, west, near Richmond, Ind.
There was so much talk about and
praise being given Dreco, I decided
to try it. The first bottle proved to
me it was good medicine, as it
soothed my stomach and relieved the
gas forming. I continued the treat
ment. and never have a dizzy spell,
nor see the spots before my eyes; my
bowels act regular; my appetite is
fine; and the food digests and gives
me strength; l don't have any more
pains in my back or limbs, and
haven't had a headache in long
time. Dreco is a good medicine, and
| gladly add my words of praise for
it."
Dreco acts on the liver in a smooth
gentle manner, gradually working of
the excess bile day by day. 1t is
neither strong nor harsh. and does
not excite the muscles of the bowels,
as strong cathartics do. 1t tones up
the digestive organs. and relieves gas
on the stomach; puts an end to con
stipation; increases the appetite;
gives strength to weak kidneys; re
stores tired nerves, and induces sound
sleep. Dreco is great blood purifier
and system cleanser
All good druggists now sell Dreco
and it is highly recommended in this
city, by Thistlethwaite' Drug Stores

s. President Harding's Speech

renewal of the bonds of friendship between
the United States and the Latin-American coun-
tries and a confirmation of the Outstanding
amity between them should follow the address
of President Harding, delivered yesterday in con-
nection with the unwilling of statue to Simon
Bolivar in New York. .--.....
1t is one of the anamolies of the western
hemisphere that the republics of South America
and the United States are not on the most init
mate terms of political and commercial friend
ship, despite the many years that have seen
them living together in concord and happiness.
Probably, if our South American neighbors
spoke the English language and were not inhab-
tied by Spanish speaking peoples, this extremely
close bond Of friendship might exist The pro-
gressive and farsighted leaders of the republics
of this hemisphere are breaking down this frigid-
ity and reserve, and are teaching their people
that we have so many things in common that
nothing should keep us apart.
The address of President Harding at the un-
yelling of the statue in honor of the South
American patriot will convince many Latin
Americans of the sincerity of our aims and the
absence of any designs on our part to influence
their national destiny.
Referring to our duty, he said
Our greatest service lies in standing firmly
together, making ourselves strong that we may
give out strength, rich that we may contribute
riches, and confident that we may inspire others
with confidence. Herein lies for us both duty
and opportunity. duty to those we may help; OPP
portunity in helping others also to help them
selves"
