CATHARTICS AND
CONSTIPATION

A source Of great profit to the
manufacturers and advertisers of
patent medicines is taken advan-
tage of in the matter of cathartics.
This is due to the fact that such
stable and old-fashioned products
as castor oil and EPSON salts are
somewhat hard to take by the high
ly civilized man. The latter desires
something that has the character
istic, in taste, of candy.
These easily taken cathartics
however, have a serious drawback.

the Book might flavor the life of

graphed President Roosevelt last
week EXPRESSING her desire to see
the Costigan-W Wagner anti-lynch-

the Senate filibust er against it as
an 'Alice-in-W Wonderland proceed
ure.' The telegram addressed to
the White House read:
is filibus ering a necessary
evil? Has this country, which has
amended is constitution, and re-
pealed its amendments, and is
consistently in a fluid state con
forming to the changing times,
no power whatever to rebuke and
to silence these frivolous men?
Must forever the time Of high ex-
ecutlves and money of tax PAYERS
be wasted, in order that a person
with nothing to say should be
permitted to say it indefinitely,
with the sole and admitted pur-
pose OF preventing from speaking
a serious representative of the
people with a problem to present?
Il am and have always been a
stout believer in states rights. 1t
is with dismay always that I see
the rights Of states, as the rights
of individuals infringed upon.
Circumstances will arise, never
theless, in which the Individual,
and most properly, is restrained
by his neighbors from acts of
violence. And similarly, circum-
stances may arise in which the
state, and most properly, is re-
strained by the concerted pres
sure of its neighboring states,
from acts of violence.
81 am in favor Of the Costigan-
Wagner Anti-lynching Bill. I am
emotionally and intellectually in
favor of it. [ wish to see it go
through.
eff however, it is defeated, 1
should like it to be defeated by
sound argument and in dignified
assembly, and not by this out
NODDED, shameful, ludicrous, Alice
in Wonderland procedure.

respect, Yours Truly"
