1t might as well be recognized first
as last by Republicans and Demo-
Gratis that William J. Bryan spoke
the truth when he said here that any
party which is controlled by the vets
is doomed to defeat. When he speaks
of ''wets" he does not mean merely
opponents of prohibition, but any
party or faction which would materi-
ally moderate the rigors of the Vol
stead law. He particularly warns his
own party, saying that if lin any
state or district" it goes wet we
have no chance" but incidentally he
warns the Republicans as well.
OF course, Mr.. Bryan puts this on
high poral grounds, and says that to
oppose prohibition is to insult the
conscience Of the Nation" So far as
amending the Nolstead law is con-
cerned, it may be possible to differ
with his way of putting it. But about
the fact itself there cannot be any
doubt. Right or wrong, a candidate
who hopes for success must say that
he is for the Volstead law-which is
what Mr.. Bryan really means by pro-
hibition-and his party organization
must pretend to be for it too.

STOMACH. TROUBLES
ARE DUE TO ACIDfTY
Tells Safe. Certain, Speedy Relief For
Acid Indigestion

So-called stomach troubles, such as in
digestion. gas, sourness. stomach-ache and
inability to retain food are in probably
nine cases out of ten simply evidence
that excessive secretion of acid is taking
place in the stomach, causing the forna
ton of gas and acid indigestion.
Gas dstends the stomach and causes
that full, oppressive, burning feeling
sometimes known as heartburn, while the
acid irrtates and inhameS the delicate
lining of the stomach. The trouble lies
entirely in the excess development or Sc
erection of acid.

food contents of the stomach and to neu-
tralize the acid. and make It bland AMI

magnesia, a good and effective cerrector

Protecting Bears

There is proposal in Maine to re-

class and place it under the protec-

present legislation a bounty of S. a

bear killed in the state, which in
some counties, where the animals are
most numerous, is doubled

the animal is dangerous to man, but

Democrats Should Ratify
Boston Post-Dem.)

BOSTON IOSt- Dtlll.)
The various Harding treaties, now
before the United States Senate,
should be ratified without delay, and
preferably without reservations.
The Limitation of Arms Confer
ence was called by the United States,
and the treaties it produced far eX-
cecded the expectations of those who
brought about the conference.
They have an important bearing
on the worlds welfare, and constitute
big step in the return to normally.
The United States Senate has an
important function under the Con-
stitution, in the making of treaties;
but it is also very important to our
position before the world that
treaties, for which we are really re-
Sponsible, should be ratified.
The Democratic Senators ond 9TH
ers who voted down the Versailles
treaty have abundant logical reason
for opposing some of the pending
treaties, but it is better TO serve the
world at large and maintain the re-
spect of foreign nations than sacrifice
them to an ideal of consistency.

THOSE TREATIES


there shall be full opportunity for
debate on the treaties. Owing to his
attitude toward the League of Ma
tions he is bound to be considerate of
all who wish to take part in the dis
cusSion. If signs amount to anything
the country would have the debate
limited, if possible, SO as to prevent
talking against time or talking with
out saying anything. He is further
more right in his attempt to bring the
irreconcilables out into the open,
showing them up for what they are.
There are evidences of collision
between such as Borah and the Will
sonites to make the splendid work of
the Washington Conference a failure
The only reasons we can see for do
ing this are politics and personal re-
venge. All can understand a feeling
Of hostility on the part of Mr.. Wilson,
however much we may hope that he
will rise above it. Everybody knows
that Borah felt sighted because he
was permitted to have no hand in
shaping the affairs of the Conference.
Perhaps he has higher motives, but
we doubt it. He is too good a lawyer
to suppose the Lansing Ishii agree
ment in any way affects those trea-
ties. There can be no honesty of
purpose in trying to give that i'm
preston. He knows full we'll there is
no connection between them.
That Four-Power treaty is rightly
termed the keystone of the arch con-
structed at the Conference. If this
pact concerning affairs in the Pacific
be defeated not only will the entire
work of the Conference be endan-
gered but this country will be belit-
tied in the eyes of the world. 1t will
be an Gnmistakable demonstration
that under our form of government
the United States is unable to take
the part of a self-respecting nation.
If this treaty fails and the Anglo
japanese Alliance remains in force
should this country consent to re-
duce its navy as arranged? And if
not what becomes of all our hopes to
put an end to the mad competition in
armament? The fight that is on in
the Senate strikes at the very vitals
of that Conference achievement.
There is no doubt about it, surely a
crave responsibility to be assumed by
those who set themselves up in oppo-
sition.
Bryan's advice is not very powerful
with the Democrats, but with his ex-
perience and because of his contact
with the public he is enabled to eval-
uate the force of public sentiment.
He knows a spite campaign against
Senator Lodge would hurt the Demo-
cratic party and he says SO. On the
contrary he would declare that the
treaty is based on the policy of the
Democratic party and Democrats
voting for it would simply be approx
irg their own policy.
Senator New in an able argument
for the treaty demonstrated to right
thinking people the very evident fact
that the treaty is in no sense an al
lance, in the meaning of that word
describing international relations.

The Third Maine Congressional
District is to choose a representative
10 the national House on Monday.
March goth. He will be selected
by and affiliated with either the
Democratic party which left the ma
tonal domicile dirty and disorderly
or the Republican party which is
now engaged in the most difficult un-
dertaking ever thrust on a party. the
job OF cleaning house. paying the
bills incurred under previous mis-
management, discharging the incom-
petent and superfluous and keeping
the expenditures within the income.
II should be unnecessary to ask
which choice a majority Of the voters
in this district will make. 1t would
be difficult to find district in which

Its almost invariable rule for many
years has been to support the Repub-
. lican party which has been wise in it's
choice Of men to represent 1t. That
party presents for the consideration
Of the voters John L. Nelson, whom
nearly everyb body knows and not one
knows any good reason why he
should not be expected to take his
place in the long line of sterling,
capable and courageous men who
have been distinguished in Congress.
lie Is honest, fearless, untiring and
brilliant His character is unim-
peachable, his ability unquestioned.
Surely the district which gave
Parkhurst for Governor a plurality
OF over 10000 ought to be safe for
such a candidate. Surely 1t ought,
but will It? The Democrats evident
ly think they have a chance. They
have clean candidate and they arc
hoping the voters have forgotten
about the party, that they will be
apathetic. that they will think the
election will be all right and will not
come out 10 vote.
The Democrats are banking on
rpathy among the Republicans.
Here are some Of the features of
the situation which they are consid-
ering: Notwithstanding there was a
contest in the District between the
two Republican candidates at the
primaries there We're but 1o,367 Re-
publican votes thrown. or 362 votes
less than the Democratic candidate
for Governor received in this District
In the election Of 1920. and 1861
less than were received by the Re-
publican candidate at that election.
In view of these facts it may readily
be understood how the Democratic
leaders are able to instill something
resembling life into the Democratic
organization.
The Republicans Of this congress
SlOndl ulSulCt never Hau palmer
duty confronting them than they
have this year.
This country never had a national
administration more deserving Of
support than the present one. If we
are TO reap the fruits we must sup

may be done is TO send the right
kind Of men to congress. John Mel
son is that type Of man. Those who
would have themselves considered
Republicans will not be worthy of
tho name unless they show their COL
ors on March Goth.
While the Democratic campaign
ers are busy. very busy. it will not
do for tho Republican committees to
whom are entrusted the management
OF that party's interests to take Re-
publican success for granted.
