Dublin, Va.—Mrs. Sallie Hughett,

nervous, weak and pale. I couldn’t
eat or sleep to do any good, and felt
I couldn’t stand this very long.
“I heard and read of Cardui, and
how it had benefited other women in
the same condition, so decided to
use it myself. After my flrsL-bottle
I felt better, so of course kept it up,
and it did the work.
“It helped me as nothing else did.

HOPE FOR LEAGUE
IN REPUBLICAN
PARTY, SAYS TAFT
BY WILLIAM HOWARD '.’ATT
(Copyright, 1920, for the Atlanta
Journal)
What is the League of Nations is
sue which Mr. Wilson desires to sub
mit, by the referendum of next elec
tion, to the American people.
Mr. Wilson was given the oppor
tunity in November and again a few
months later, to head the United
States in the League of Nations
which now is functioning. The United
States would have been released from
the obligation of Article X of the
league and would have saved for Its
own interpretation and enforcement
its Monroe doctrine. These »were the
only substantial reservations. The
othernations informally acquiesced in
them. Nevertheless Mr. Wilson in
sisted on having no league at all
rather than to release the United
States in these two respects.
If the Democratic party in conven
tion is to declare, as Mr. Wilson says
it shall, that he was right and so is
to pledge his successor to this
course in the future, then in case of
Democratic victory we shall never
ratify this treaty and never enter
this league. This should be apparent
to the frienas of the present league
of Nations.
Whatever the vote in the election,
the constitution will still remain, and
bv that instrument two-thirds of the
senate are required to ratify the
treaty and the league.
There are now forty-nine Republi
can senators. Os these, terms of fif
teen expire in the coming election.
If the impossible were to happen, and
every one of those Republicans were
succeeded by a Democrat pledged to
vote for the Wilson league, there
still would be thirty-five Republican
senators, of whom but one, Mr. Mc-
Cumber, would vote for it, while
there are two Democratic senators at
least, and are probably more,
who would side with the Republicans
in refusing to ratify.
In other words, this means an in
evitable vote against the league
without reservations of more than
one-third of the senate, and its cer
tain defeat. Moreover, the fifteen Re
publican senators whose places are
to be filled, come from states most
of which are sure to return Repub
licans. A vote for the Democratic
nominee on Mr. Wilson’s platform,
therefore, means a vote against the
league as certainly as if Hiram John
son had been nominated and elected
on the platform which he. demanded
and did not get at Chicago.
Wilson Consistent
Mr. Wilson is consistent. His at
titude is 'exactly what it was dur
ing the treaty discussion and con
troversy. His is the rule or ruin
policy. “I must have all I ask or I
will take nothing. I must have the
league exactly as I made it or I will
destroy the prospect of the United
States entering any league at all.” He
is, therefore, so far as practical
achievement of a league is con
cerned, in exactly the same seat as
Mr. Borah, Mr. Johnson and the
other “bitter enders.”
Mr. Wilson ignores plaitn facts
which take away from his striking
sentences their practical value. He
continues to treat the independent
judgment and determination of Re
publican senators as to the necessity
for qualifying the obligations of the
United States under the league as
of negligible importance. The two
thirds provision in the senate was
framed in order to give a veto power
to more than a third of the senate
who believe fundamental principles
to be violated in a proposed treaty
and who against a majority In a gen
eral election, need not feel under ob
ligation to give up their objections.
This is a subject upon which the Re
publican senators have made up their
minds. Nothing will move them
from the positions to which they
have adhered since the beginning. A
Democratic victory, therefore, means
no league at all.
But how would it be if Mr. Hard
ing is elected? Mr. Harding voted
for the league wi(h the fourteen res
ervations in November, 1919, and
again later. In the second vote,
seven more Democratic votes would
have made sixty-four needed to rati
fy this league with reservations. If
Mr. Wilson had not himself interven
ed to prevent it all but three or four
Democratic would have voted for the
league with the then reservations,
h’orty of the Democrats out of forty
seven, agreed to reservations on the
two crucial articles to wit: The Mon
roe Doctrine reservations and Article
X, which cannot be substantially dis
tinguished from the reservation
which more than two-thirds of the
Republicans and majority of the
Democrats wished.
The Democrats wished to say the
same £t>ing only twice, where the Re
publicans had said it three times. In
respect to Article X both the Demo
cratic reservations, offered in tha al
ternative took away the binding ob
ligation of the United States under
the article, and left acion under it
wholly to the discretion of con
gress when the case should arise.
Just as did the Republican reserva
tion. though in somewhat different
phraseology. \
Republicans to Adopt League
When the issue comes again, the
senators on both sides will still re
tain their convictions and vote ac
cordingly, and if they do, with the
dictation of Mr. Wilson removed and
after a Republican victory there is
not the slightest doubt that the
league with substantially the Lodge
reservations will be ratified. A Re
publican president who voted for it
before then will lead the nation into
the league with the reservations and
will be welcomed by the other league
members.
This is -what the Republican plat
form means. But even if that plat
form is not affirmative, as its Demo
cratic critics claim it is not, surely
no onb can contend that it prevents
senators who voted for the league
with' reservations from doing so
again.
For these reasons, the nub of the
referendum to which Mr. In
vites the people of the United States
really is, whether, by voting for the
Democratic candidate, we shall sup
port an impossible ideal and have
no league at all, or whether, by vot
ing for the Republicans’ candidate,
we shall actually enter the league
and help the world.

STOLEN EXPRESS
IS LOCATED IN
VALDOSTiA HOUSE
VALDOSTA, Ga., June 22.—Spe
cial Agent Futch, assisted by Police
man Arant, has located a large
amount of stolen goods, including a
Victrola, and they believe they have
unearthed a very shrewd piece of
robbery. The stolen articles were
found at the home of Pearl Pearson,
colored, on Perry street, where they
were sent by express from Jackson
ville. It is alleged that - the ar
ticles were shipped by express
and diverted by clerks in the
office at Jacksonville .billing and
marking them to the Valdosta
negress to be reshipped to Jackson
ville on order from the ones who did
the stealing. The special agent of
the American Express company has
been trying to locate the cause of the
puzzling shortages in shipments for
some time. Every Item on his list
was recovered.
Falls With Pole
Elmer Lastinger, an eighteen-year
oid boy, is lingering between life and
death at the hospital here as a result
of the falling off a telephone pole to
which he was buckled with a safety
belt. The pole was rotten at the
ground and when ti fell ot rebounded
so as to strike him in the face and
head. The glass insulation globe
which he had just nailed to the pole
broke and cut his face badly, the
skkull being fractured. He was hur
ried to the hospital where an opera
tion was performed, hoping to save
his life.
Wolf Lipsitz, a well known mer
chant of Jennings, Fla., was here
Monday conferring with the officers
in an effort to locate S3OO in cash and
S9OO in diamonds stolen from his
house Saturaw night. He had the
valuables in his pocket when he went
home from the store. He left his
trousers bn a chair in his room when
he went to sleep. The thief crawl
ed through a window of his dining
room, carried the trousers out on
the back porch and rifled the pockets,
taking the money and jewelry.
Lynching Is Feared
For Man Charged
With Attack on Girl
WILMINGTON, Del., June 22.
Isaiah Fountain, a negro, convicted
for criminal assault upon a thirteen
year-old white girl in Trappe, Md.,
was surrounded early today in a
woods near Hebron, Md., by an armed
posse of approximately 600 persons.
Open threats were made against his
life and officials fear they will not be
able to hold the posse in check should
he be captured.
Fountain twice escaped from the
Easton, Md., jaiL. He was con.victea
on April 19 and sentenced to be exe
cuted. A few weeks later he escaped,
but was quickly captured at Sea
ford, Del. He got away again last
Wednesday night and since then
posses have been searching the coun
tryside in all directions.
Shortly after midnight last night
the posse surrounded him in a swamp
near Laurel, Del., but the fugitive
.succeeded in breaking through the
jiet. A short time later the negro
was again cornered in the Hebron
woods and it was said his capture
was only a matter of hours.
When the posse entered this state
from Maryland it coipprised only
about 200 persons, but every town
passed through has furnished addi
tional members until the number has
been tripled.
Mr. DeWitt Faulkner
Is iKlled by Negro
MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga., June 21.
Mr. DeWitt Faulkner, a well-known
farmer residing ten miles east of
Milledgeville, in Baldwin county, was
killed by Tom A. Ray. a negro, about
11 o’clock Monday morning. .The
negro lived in a plantation adjoining
Mr. Faulkner.
The negro and the white man had
had some trouble several days ago.
it is understood, and on his approach
ing the negro unexpectedly, the col
ored man fired five shots into the
body of Mr. Faulkner, who had just
crossed the Oconee river on a ferry
when he came in contact with the
negro. The latter emptied his pistol
into the white man’s body, afterwards
escaping. It is believed that the
negro headed down the swamp of
the Oconee river towards Mclntyre
and Dublin.
Mr. Faulkner was twenty-eight
years of age and recently moved
from Jasper county.

GEORGIANS ENJOY
INSPIRING SIGHTS
ABOUT PIKE’S PEAK
BY ROGERS WINTER
(Staff Correspondent of The Journal)
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., June
22. —The cave of the winds, the gar
den of the gods, the moonlight ride
by automobile to the top of Pike’s
Peak and all the other wonders of
Colorado Springs have put the regu
lar Georgia delegates through a
whirlwind pace for sixteen hours. As
this dispatch is written the roll has
been called and all answered present,
tired and dusty and practically
without sleep, stunned by the gran
deur of this wonderlland where pre
historic unheavals of the earth playl
ed havoc with the landscape, but
everyone happy and carried away
with the picturesque beauty of Colo
rado Springs,
The train was scheduled to resume
its western journey at eleven this
morning and the delegates were fish
ing out of grips and suit cases their
goggles for the ride through the
Royal gorge, which is next on the
program of Rocky mountain thrillers.
FORMER GEORGIAN TAKES
PARTY xTO PIKE’S PEAK
BY ROGERS WINTER
(Staff Correspondent of The Journal.)
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Mon
day Night, June 21.—While the
eWstern Union operator was ticking
off these rambling remarks con
cerning the day’s doings of the
regular Georgia delegates to the
’Frisco convention, the delegates
and the writer*were emerging from
their berths for a moonlight ride by
automobile to the top of Pike’s peak.
These remarks were written before
the trip started* If the writer sends
no more and searching parties are
sent out to find the regular delegates,
their relatives and friends will be
seasonably accurate in guessing that
they fell off the side of the mountain.
But Bill Mcßride, erstwhile citizen
of Cedartown, Ga., whose present ad
dress is Colorado Springs, and whose
lucrative profession is the hauling
of to the top of Pike’s peak
in his trusty touriifg car by the light
of the moon, or without moonlight,
as the case may be, assured us be
fore departing that he had been on
the water wagon for five years
steady, and further assured us that
the tree tops would catch us if we
went overbqard on the dizzy climb.
Further than that, he made it known
that he was going to take particular
pains with these Georgia Crackers,
in view of the fact that they hail
from the state where he was born.
Monday was a day packed full of
sight-seeing for the Georgia delega
tion. They spent the morning and
the afternoon observing sage grass
and wheat and prairie dogs across
the state of Kansas and half of Col
orado. A reward was offered any
body in the party who would find a
tree with the naked eye or with
Judge McMath’s field glasses fetched
from Americus, but nobody saw one,
although they scanned some six hun
dred miles Mbf unobstructed land
scape.
Kansas and Colorado are intensely
. interesting for a change. They look
like the prairies of south Georgia
with their trees stripped off and the
land turned to grass, with this big
exception, that south Georgia lands
are littered with swamps while these
western plains are as dry as dust.
Felix Jackson, who went to the west
when somewhat younger than he is
today and live'd on the plains with
herds of cattle for several years, ex
plained that the interval between
drinks in Kansas is often very long,
as much as three years. This may
have had something to do with the
Kansas prohibition laws. Whenever
the train stopped in Kans is and some
bold member of the party imbued
with the spirit of a pioneer would
get off to look around, Mr. Jackson
would warn him that it is against
the law to do anything in Kansas no
matter what. All of the delegates
got through the state without com
plications with the constabulary.
Startling Switch in Scenery
Six hundred miles of unbroken
prairie was a good prelude for the
stopover here where the scenery
switched with startling suddenness.
The biggest obstruction to the’ l view
in Kansas was a Hereford gteer or
a flock of steers every few hundred
miles, and they weren’t big enough to
make it necessary to turn a curve to
see around them. The Kansas steers
were taking their time with their
grazing. They seemed to have it
figured out that there was no neces
sity for gobbling up the grass.
There was enough in sight to last
them a while. A million steers eat
ing grass a million years wouldn’t
more than fray the edges of the Kan
sas plain.
Suddenly in the west rose the
Rocky mountains just in time to
persuade some members of the dele
gation that they hadn’t lost their
way and got involved in an ever
lasting sea of sage grass and wheat.
Os course everybody at once quit
searching for a tree in the plains and
began to watch the mountains march
ing towards the train as it slowly
climbed the heights of the Colorado
table land.
Frolicsome Mountains
Certain gentlemen engaged in their
usual pastime in the drawing room
of the car, Arabia, which has no la
dies, could not understand the pecu
liar behavior of Pike’s peak and oth
ers. They were under the impres
sion that the Rocky Mountains were
fixed and immovable and that only
the train occasionally turned a wheel.
But the more they tried to find the
mountains and keep an eye on them,
the more the mountains shifted. It
was exasperating. First they would
appear on the right of the train,
then they would nimbly leap the
track and exhibit themselves in a
frolicsome manner on the left of the
train. The drawing room gentlemen
finally gave it up and returned to
their interminable and fascinating
pastime of guessing the identity of
the cards in the hole. Locking the
door behind them they requested the
other members of the party to call
them out when the mountains got
still and went to roost for the eve
ning.
A Hereford steer was big enough
to attract attention on the Kansas
plains. Even a prairie dog loomed
on the landscape. But the pre-his
toric dinosaurus would look like an
ant in the Garden of Gods. Nature,
it seems, began at Kansas City and
swept the earth clean for a thousand
miles and piled up everything here in
one place. The plains are over
whelmingly and terribly empty, but
the landscape b erea bouts in Colorado
is overwhemiingly and terribly full,
not to say crowded. Three hours of
daylight were left to the party on
arriving in this beautiful city spread
out in a valley through which ran
the trail of the forty-niners, who
drove their prairie schooners across
the continent in search of gold. Bill
Mcßride, the aforementioned native
of Cedartown, Ga., and other enter
prising drivers of sight-seeing autos,
did not wait for the train to pull
into the station. They met it in the
outskirts and organized their par
ties on board the cars, and what they
showed this aggregation of unterri
fied Democrats from the Empire
State of the sunny south was a gasp
ing plenty.
Inspiration Points
Mcßride’s party included Charles
S. Barrett, national president of the
Farmers’ union, and Mack tried to
outtalk the distinguished chairman
of the delegation. It was not long
before he gave it up. Previously the
wags on board the Arabia had dubbed
the chairman “O. D. Barrett,” which
initials may signify olive drab or
something else, according to the cir
cumstances surrounding the bestowal
of the title, but those in Mcßride’s
car took the liberty of changing it
to “Silent” Barrett. The grandeur of
the scenery seemed to go to his head.
Never before has a man given voice
to such matchless eloquence. After
hearing Chairman Barrett discourse
upon the scenery, we could under
stand why Helen Hunt Jackson
sought the summit of a rock 1.000
feet high overlooking South Cheyenne
canon to write “Romona.” They call
the summit “Inspiration Point” be
cause she went there to write her
story. Every rock and every moun
tain was an “inspiration point” for
Chairman Barrett.
Mcßride and his fellows of the
sightseeing business packed about as
much scenery in those three hours
as a man can see anywhere on earth.
It would be necessary to journey to
U. S. NOW HAS A
TRADE BALANCE
OF 17 BILLIONS
WASHINGTON, June 22.—(8y the
Associated Press.) —Since the begin
ning of the world war in 1914, the
United States has rolled up a trade
balance of approximately $17,000,-
000,000, the total balance in favor of
the United States from 1875 to 1914.
Department of commerce figures
today show that the trade balance
made in favor of the United States
in the fiscal year ending in 1914, one
month before the war .began, was
only $470,000,000. During the first
year of the war it was $1,094,419,600
and in the next year ending June 30,
1916, it was $2,135,599,375. During
the day, succeeding year, the total
was $3,530,693,209.
Meantime, the United States had
entered the struggle and in the year
ending June 30,1918 —the first full
fiscal year of America’s participa
tion—the balance was only $2,974,-
055,973. In the next year ending last
June 30, however, it was $4,136,562,-
618.
During the first eleven months of
this fiscal year the balance was only
$2,788,451,602, but exports were larg
er in those eleven months than in
any other full fiscal year in the na
tion’s history, totalling $7,474,193,349
as against the previous twelve
months’ record of $7,232,282,686,
made during the last fiscal year.
At the same time that America’s
export trade began to advance by
leaps and bounds, the import trade
also showed an enormous increase,
totalling $2,917,883,510 in the year
ending June jJO, 1916, and advancing
steadily each year tcR a new high
record of $4,685,741,747 during the
eleven months of the present fiscal
year. The previous high record was
$3,095,720,068 lasti year.
Most of the favorable trade bal
ance of the United States has been
against the allied and neutral coun
tries of Europe. Many of the South
American and North American coun
tries and some of those in the far
east have a balance against the
United States.

Pittsburg. Detained by business, Ja
cobs started in an automobile six
hours behind the party. An accident
caused him to take a train to Terre
Haute, where he hopes to intercept
the tourists.
Telegrams were sent from Terre
Haute to cities east and west. Then
Jacobs lay down to a troubled sleep
and dreamed the dream that took
away his power of speech.
Jacobs leaped from the bed with a
wild cry. He tried to cry out again,
but his throat seemed to be clogged.
Not n sound came forth.
Jacobs then stationed a man at
the road leading into Terre Haute
and came here to watch for the cars.
He wrote his story for the police.
Convicts Escape With
Clothes of Warden
ALAMO, Ga., June 22—Frank Wy
att and son, Mitch, white, two life
term convicts, escaped from the
county gang here last Wednesday.
They were convicted in Laurens
county superior court about two
years' ago, in connection with the
murder of Howard Snell, colored, liv
ing at that time in this county, who
was taken from his home one night,
and a few days later his dead body
was found over in Laurens county.
Before leaving the camp the Wyatts
appropriated to themselves all of
the good clothes of Warden Phillips,
who was away from the camp at the
time, and left him with practically
only the clothes he was wearing. It
was several hours after their escape
before the fact was 'known, when
Warden Phillips was notified and a
search for the men began.
a different planet and use a dif
ferent brand of refreshment to get
as many overwhelming and terrify
ing impressions. All of us were
silent and timid as rabbits except
Chairman Barrett. He has knocked
around in the western country so
many years that the scenery doesn’t
stunt him. It exhilarates him. Not
even a climb of 500 feet up a winding
stairway to the head of Seven Falls
sufficed to check his eloquence. He
perched himself at the summit of the
stairs and announced that he felt
like making a speech. We brought
him to reserve a few thousand cubic
feet of eloquence for the Democratic
national committee and the creden
tials committee at San Francisco.
Yea, Sir, Barrett Farms
Speaking of Chairman Barrett, we
made the discovery that he is an
honest to goodness farmer. Recent
ly some facetious newspapers writer
intimated somewhat broadly in an
article concerning the national pres
ident of the Farmers’ union that most
of his farming has been done in the
fertile soil of hotel lobbies in our
leading cities. We quipped him
about it. and he laughed and told us
in a very spirited manner that he
has a standing offer of SI,OOO to $25
that no otner farmer in the world
grows a greater variety of products
than he does on his eight different
farms.
, T wo of these farms are situated
in White county, Georgia, one at
Union City, in Campbell county,
where he lives; two in Upson county,
where he used to live before the
Farmers’ union got him; one in Ba
con county, and two in Florida, near
the east coast. Every known veg
etable, every known fruit, every
known marketable farm product, ev
ery known nut-bearing tree, every
known flower and every known shrub,
is the modest claim he asserts for
himself as an honest-to-goodness
farmer, and he further claims that
each and every one of his eight dif
ferent farms is making a profit. He
claims one acre of pecans in south
Georgia that made a profit of $2,200
last year.
Eight hundred thousand dues-pay
ing farmers belong to the organiza
tion of which Chairman Barrett is
national president. lowa, Nebraska,
Kansas and Colorado are thick with
members of the Farmers’ union. Co
operative enterprises owned by the
Harmers’ union in the state of Kan
sas handled $182,000,000 worth of
farm products last year.
The credentials committee of the
Frisco convention are going to look
at Charles S. Barrett a long time be
fore they order him to take a seat in
the beanut gallery and carry his dele
gation with him.
Look for Us in Trees
There is Mcßride, of Cedartown,
Ga., honking the horn of his Twin
Six in front of the Western Union
office. He has been to the parking
track and got his sightseers ana
wrapped them in blankets for the
moonlight ride to the top of Pike’s
Peak. The somewhat hungry and
cruelly overworked corresponding
secretary of the delegation must
“close for this time,” as the classic
letter writers used to say. hoping to
have more the next time ,etc. .etc.
He must rush to the Pullman and get
his overcoat and other equipment
for keeping warm in the snow-clad
summit of the highest mountain in
the world reached by a railway and
an automobile iroad.
As above explained, if nothing
further is heard from the party look
for us in the tree tops, where Mc-
Bride assures us we will alight if
the car gets unruly and plunges over
one of these thousand-feet drops that
lurk at every turn of the sightseeing
roads. Tuesday we are scheduled to
be on our way at 11 o’clock. The
spokesman of the party will go di
rect from Salt Lake to Frisco to be
at the hearing before the national
committee. The others will go by
way of Los Angeles.

McAdoo Says Wilson
Interview Did Not
Affect Withdrawal
NEW YORK. June 22.—William G.
McAdoo, in a statement here, declar
ed his recent announcement that he
would not permit his name to be pre
sented to the San Francisco con
vention, as candidate for the Demo
cratic presidential nomination, had
no relation to the political interview
with President Wilson published the
day before. He declared he knew
nothing of that interview until he
saw it in print and that the presi
dent knew nothing of his withdrawal
until after notice of it had appeared
in the newspaper.
Mr. McAdoo’s statement follows:
“In order to set at rest absurd ru
mors and speculations which have
been published to the effect that my
letter of withdrawal had some rela
tion to the president’s World inter
view, or carried a concealed purpose,
I wish to say, first, that I knew
nothing whatever of the president’s
interview until I saw it in the papers,
and, second, that the president knew
nothing whatever of my letter of
withdrawal until he saw it in the
public prints.”

AUTOCRACY IN
PARTY MUST GO,
SAYS M’COMBS
CHICAGO, June 22.—William F.
McCombs, chairman of the Demo
cratic national committee from 1912
to 1916, and manager of President
Wilson’s 1912 campaign, issued a
statement here before leaving for
San Francisco attacking what he
characterized as the president’s auto
cratic assumption of authority.
President Wilson, he said, has no
more right to call himself leader of
the Democratic party, “a conception
heretofore never entertained by any
American,” than has Chief Justice
White, former Speaker Champ Clark
or Vice President Thomas R. Mar
shall.
Mr. McCombs announced that ar
rangements had been made to obtain
for him a seat in the New York dele
gation, if he decides to take the
floor at San Francisco. The New
York delegation, he predicted, will
throw its support to Governor James
M. Cox, of Ohio, after casting a com
plimentary vote for Governor Smith.
He added that he believed a west
erner, possibly from the Pacific slope,
will be nominated for vice president.
His statement in part
“They tell me that America has
pledged its word to Europe and that
this word must be redeemed in the
process of a national campaign. In
my belief America has pledged itself
to nothing. One individual, speak
ing as such, permitteff- Europe to be
lieve that he spoke for a nation, for
in the last analysis he was nothing
more than a self-appointed emissary.
Nevertheless Atnerica is asked to
validate this signature affixed abroad,
a signature which apparently was
accepted jn good faith by all the
European peoples as absolute.
“The president negotiates a treaty,
but the senate may or may not con
cur by two-thirds majority. In this
particular instance there has been
no concurrence.
"Other nations may want a League
of Nations and it may be that we
do, but we do not want to commit
ourselves to the League of Nations
as it was brought back from Paris.
It is an international issue, but it
is a highly debatable question as to
what importance it should have in
a national campaign. Ultimately* it
is a question for the president and
the senate to settle.
The statement then declares for
reconstruction at home, rehabilitation
of railway and Internal waterway
transportation, and for solution of
the high cost of living, “wholly apart
from any international affiliations.”
The statement continues:
“When the great war broke out in
1914, naturally America was morp
or less dazed, and was to ac
cept any kind of leadership which
might draw it through a possible
difficulty. In this moment the chief
executive again reported that he was
the leader of hte party, a conception
heretofore never entertained by an
American. As/well might the chief
justice of the United States, Mr.
White, a Democrat, have made the
same proclamation. So might the
speaker of the house of representa
tives, Champ Clark. So might the
vice president, Mr. Marshall, consti
tutional president, of the senate. But
America was concterned with great
issues, and paid no attention to what
appeared to be a detail.
“It was in such manner that for
the first time in the history of this
country autocracy came Into being.
It was an autocracy which was ques
tioned, but which was accepted by
virtue of necessity. But this un
happy hour has passed and at San
Francisco we again return to true
Democracy regardless of place hold
ers and pot hunters. We have fin
ished with the fine phrases. This
country is determined to act in ac
cordance with its unfailing sense of
justice. The indignities of autocracy
will never again be accepted by this
nation. This is fundamental and no
confusion will be brought about by
diplomatic or financial machina
tions.’ ’

Speedy Relief
From Habitual
Constipation
The liver is the largest and most
Important organ in the body, ana
when the liver refuses to act, it
causes constipation, biliousness,
headache, indigestion, gas, sopr
stomach, bad breath, dysentery,
diarrhoea, pains in back and under
shoulder blades and under ribs on
right side. These symptoms lead to
colds, influenza ot other serious
troubles unless corrected imme
diately.
An inactive liver places an extra
burden on the kidneys, which over
taxes them and causes the blood to
absorb and carry into the system
the impurities that the liver and
kidneys have failed to eliminate.
When you treat the liver alone,
you treat only a third of your
trouble, ahd that is why you have
to take purgatives every few
nights. Calomel or other ordinary
laxatives do not go far enough. If
you would treat your kidneys and
blood while treating the liver, you
would put your entire system In
order and freqent purgatives would
then be unnecessary.
Dr. W. L. Hitchcock many years
ago recognized these important
facts, and after much study and
research, compounded what is now
known as Dr. Hitchcock’s Liver,
Kidney and Blood Powders, three
medicines combined in one.; This
was the Doctor’s favorite prescrip
tion for many years, being used by
his patients with marked success.
It is a harmless vegetable remedy
that will not make you sick, and
you may eat anything you like
while taking it.
Get a large tin box from your
druggist or dealer for 25c, under his
personal guarantee that it will give
relief, tone up the liver, stimulate
the kidneys to healthy action and
thereby purify the blood. Keep- it In

any member of the family begins

prove a household friend and a val
