The question has been asked. In
what way are Chamberlain's Tablets
superior to the ordinary cathartic and
liver pills? Our answer is, they are
easier and more pleasant to take and
their effect is so gentle that one
hardly realizes that it is produced by
a medicine. Then. they not only move

Public Ownership

THE views of the country agree
that business is held back,
i prosperity damaged, retail
trade more or less crippled by the
railroad and coal strikes.
Business men that have so ener-
getically opposed all suggestions of
Government ownership will, by and
by, as the light strikes in, demand
and put through the Government
ownership to which they have OBJ
jected.
The great national monopolies
of necessities have become too big
for private individuals. Govern
ment ownership and management
or constant strikes and Interrupt
tion are the alternatives. Ask any
business man what he thinks of the
Government-owned parcels post.
Ask him if he would be willing
to turn the postoffice over to pri-
vate ownership. What will he an
swer!
Ask him IL he would rent out
the elevators in his store or office
building to private management and
exploitation. What will he an

Free Ports
Explained
THE Senate has embodied in the
tariff bill an amendment allow

"1E senate mas em0odled IN the
tariff bill an amendment allow
ing the creation Of ".Free
Ports" in this country. " =
The tariff bill has gone to con-
ference. Possible ignorance may
prevent the House conferees from
accepting the Free Port amendment.
1t is reported that the House pro-
tectionists will not stand for Free
Ports because they will mean free
trade. .r,
Nothing of the sort. A Free Port
in New York, for example, would
mean an area .on and near the
waterfront, surrounded by GUS
toms line. Perhaps the area would
be located at Jamaica Bay or on
Staten Island.
The customs people would have
no concern with what went on in
the Free Port. There ships would
tie up at piers and load and unload
rapidly without customs surveil-
lance. IT,.
In the Free Port imported goods
would be, moved about with COM
plete freedom-mixed, branded,
manufactured. Of the goods that
are reshipped abroad the Revenue
people never know of their ex-
istence.
The Free Port is designed precise
ly to foster this re-exportation
trade, which is stifled under the
red tape of customs authorities in
a protectionistic country.
But suppose the goods 60 inland.
They pay the regular American
tariff rates when they cross the
customs line. The manufacturer in
the Free Port is at disadvantage
in competing with his inland rival
for the American market. The
Free Port manufacturer goods,
going inland, must pay the high
tariff rates on manufactures; the
inland competitor needs pay only
the lower rates on imported raw
materials.
The Free Port will not affect our
protected American industries. 1t
will simply remove the obstruction
to the development of our re-export
trade, now a mere fraction of what
it can become.

Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction.
CHE was timid and demure
- When she told him why she came;
She looked innocent and pure,
Blushing when she gave her namei
She was young and lovely, too,
Having graces that were rare,
And deciding she would do,
He engaged her then and there.
LIE discovered with delight
IL That she wasn't slow to learn;
She was earnest, she was bright,
Which relieved him of concern;
There were never any slips
In the letters that she wrote;
She had very tempting lips,
And a rounded, slender throat.
WHAT she had to do was done
w With no wearisome delays;
Being competent, she won
His approval and his praise;
He could trust her, knowing well
That no error would slip through;
She could think and she could spell
Strange. you may suppose, but true!
CHE was modest and refined,
~ Keeping in her proper place,
Never grieving nor inclined
To exploit her pretty face;
She could answer yes or no,
And refrain from saying more;
Every day she seemed to grow
Lovlier than she was before.

The Empress Car

IN France under the Sale law no
woman could inherit the throne.
i A French king explained it, say
ing to a lady, "You see when a
king is on the throne some WON
AN always rules France. If a
woman were on the throne, a man
might rule; that would be bad"
Nicely said, but sometimes it
works the other way, for the throne.
The Gar, a man, was on the throne
of Russia, but his wife was ruling
him in the late war.
Here is a sentence from one of
her letters to him:
You know that I have strong
will. God Wills 1t that your poor
wife should help you. That is
what Gregory Rasputin and M.
Philippe (French spiritualistic
charlatan) always insist on. You
see everybody fears me. oh, my
dear, when will you bang your
fist on the table and force them
all to tremble before you7 To
love you is not enough; they
must fear you"
The wife of the Car, trying to
manage him, was managed by Ras-
putin, a not intelligent priest of the
Greek Church, and by a French
spiritualist. Banging his fist on tie
table would have done the Gear and
his unfortunate family no good.
Lenin, an intelligent man, whose
brother has been executed by the
Car, was awaiting his chance.
When he got it, with his will as
strong as Cromwell's the poor
Tsaritsa, with her Rasputin. her
spiritualist, and the Gar himself
had little chance.
