BREAKING THE PARTY TRACES Party creeds and discipline are los-' ing force as far as the tariff is concerned. On the vote in the house last Friday on the proposition to put lum-1 ber on the free list, Democrats from ten southern states were recorded in 1 the negative. The Mills and the Wil- j son bills, which provided for free lum- 1 ber, met with no opposition from southern Democrats on that score. This year thirty-seven voted for protection for lumber and carried the day. In 1894 free lumber had no Repub-j' lican friends in congress. This year t it has fifty-six in the house, forty-two 1 of them from the group of states 1 made up of Kansas. Nebraska, lowa, ' Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois. ( Forgetful of party lines for the mo- < ment, they voted with the majority I of the Democrats to overrule the com- * mittee on ways and means. That s would have been treason once, but is ' not now. Their votes will not hurt r them with their constituents. < Some of these southern Democrats I may say that they voted as they did 1 in order to get revenue from lumber. . All of them were influenced by the 5 great development of the lumbering < business in the south during the last < fifteen years. They turned a willing * ear to the statements of men engag- ( ed in the business that they must j have protection or they would perish, t They are as ready to vote it as repre- s sentatives from northwestern states ( were before those states had been practically stripped of white pine. The Democrats who refused to follow Champ Clark represented the lumbermen of their states. The Republicans who broke away from Chair- ' man Payne represented the lumber , consumers of their states. Straight ’ party voting on tariff questions is go- ' ing out of fashion and tariff legislation is becoming more uncertain than I it was in the days when party discipline was strict. —Chicago Tribune.

circulation alone is of value to adver- ' tisers, and that papers thrust upon persons who decline to pay for the same are in fact handbills, instead of newspapers.

We may ! still think we are free and, while /the bread continues and the circus . goes on, we may be lulled into a ' sense of security. But some day we i must inevitably awaken to the fact that the usurpations of majorities. I however obtained and however exerj cised. have all of the evils and none !of the kindly graces of old-time kingcraft. This idea of government marks a distinct line of cleavage. The east and the west are bound together by myriad ties. We are your children. We look to you for leadership, and you have no right to disappoint us. It 'is your business, as it is ours, to battle for the individual rights of man. I Yet there have been manifestations of recent years which convince us of i the west that many of you are deeming the functions of government to be economic rather than political. This has engendered slight friction between us and unless a better understanding is reached, an irreconciable conflict such as once existed between the north and south will arise. That friction results from an economic theory fostered under the guise of a political principle. The economic theory of the individual that while he can keep away from the criminal law of the land he has a right to foster and develop his business is not to be gainsaid. But when the individual seizes the powers of government to accpmplish his purpose he loses sight of his patriotism in his zeal for profit. We of the west believe that such conduct is indefensible from the viewpoint of the law of the land. We insist that business and politics are two things which cannot lawfully be joined in a republic. If my humble words, haltingly spoken, tend to induce Democrats to hark back to one or two of the ideals of the republic, enable them to disassociate business from politics, and imbue them with the genuine belief that American citizenship is the most priceless heritage which can be bequeathed from sire to son. then I shall be supremely content.” o ——• IF YOU HAVEN'T TRIED THE GREAT ROOT JUICE. Ask Your Friends Who Have. Root Juice has made so many wonderful cures all over the state and has done so much good here that any sensible person, after investigating, will be convinced of its great merit. If you suffer with your stomach, liver, kidneys or nerves or any trouble created by a weakened or diseased condition of these organs. Root Juice is the very remedy you need. It absolutely removes the cause of bloating, belching, constipation, heartburn, sick headache, backache and rheumatism. They will tell you all about it at Holthomse drug store. It is one dollar a bottle, or six bottles fir five dollars.

A representative for the paper was here today and Miss Lachot has agreed to enter the race, for when the Adams county people start out to do anything, they do it. The Commercial-Tribune will send a party of forty young ladies to Europe this summer, leaving on July 15th and remaining away for two months. They will visit all the principal cities and of course it will be an occasion that comes to but few people in a lifetime.

FOUR SCORE YEARS Have Been Passed by Uncle John Woy of this City EVENT CELEBRATED Surprised Last Evening— Has Been Member of Concord Fifty Years Uncle John Woy. one of the grandest old men who ever lived in Adams county, was eighty years old yesterday. Mr. woy came to this county over sixty years ago and has since been one of the progressive and active citizens. He is the only living charter member of the Coneord church where he joined over fifty years ago, and the members of that church planned a surprise which was given in his honor, at his home on north Fifth street in this city last evening. The friends, the greater part of them from Concord vicinity, gathered at the home at 7:30. Mr. Woy was most enjoyably surprised and he enjoyed every minute of the occasion. As a token of their esteem for him the visitors presented the guest of honor a valuable pair of gold rimmed spectacles. Refreshments were served and the hours passed in happy reminiscences. Mr. Woy is in excellent health and we hope to be able to tell the story of his one hundredth anniversary. He has a sister living in Warren county, Ohio, who has passed her ninety-eighth birthday.

INTERESTING FACTS. The Smith, Yager and Falk Drug Co. Offer to Cure Catarrh. The Medicine Costs Nothing if They Fail ■When a medicine effects a cure in 98 per cent of cases, and when we offer that medicine on our personal guarantee if it does not cure Catarrh, it is only reasonable that people should believe us, or at least put our claim to a practical test when we take all the risk. These are facts which we want the people of Decatur to substantiate. We want them to try Rexall Mucu-Tone. a medicine prepared from a prescription of a physician whose specialty was Catarrh, and who has a record of thirty years of cures to his credit. We sell more bottles and receive more good reports about Rexall MucuTone than we do of all other catarrh remedies sold in our store, and if more people only knew what a thoroughly dependable remedy Rexall Mucu-Tone is. it would be the only catarrh medicine we would have any demand for. Rexall Mucu-Tone is quickly absorbed and carried by the blood until it thoroughly disinfects and cleanses the entire mucous membranous tract, destroys and removes the parasites which injure and destroy the membranous tissues, soothes and heals the irritation and soreness, stops the mucous discharge, and builds up strong, healthy tissue, relieves the blood and system of diseased matter, stimulates the muco-cells, aids digestion and improves nutrition until the whole body vibrates with healthy activity. In a comparatively short time there is a most noticeable gain in weight, strength, good color and feeling of buoyancy. We urge you to try Mucu-Tone, beginning a treatment today. At any time you are not satisfied, simply come and tell ns, and we will quickly return your money without question or quibble. We have Rexall Mucu-Tone in two sizes, 50c. and SI.OO. The Smith.
