The democrats of this state are not afraid to hold a two-days’ convention, and they will therefore put in April 27th and 28th in the work of organizing the convention, adopting a platform and nominating a ticket. On the other hand, the republicans, who have heretofore held a two-days’ convention, this year condense all their business into one day. They do this in order to cut out speeches and other things of which they are fearful. Mr. Beveridge's friends are in control of the republican organization and they do not propose, if they can help it, to give the other faction any opportunity to make embarasslng speeches or to introduce troublesome resolutions.

President Roosevelt as a catspaw to pull the reactionary chestnuts out of the fire in this year’s campaign." So says a dispatcn from Washington. Hut it will not be hard to use Roosevelt. He has stood by the standpatters before and he is not likely to desert his friend Taft in the present emergency. He has always gotten along well enough with Cannon and Aldrich. Roosevelt may "insurge” on his own hook and for his own purposes, but he Is not the sort of a politician who will put himself out to help others wMI have got their feet out of the party traces. Notwithstanding the fact that Senator Aldrich admits that his party has been and is spending $300,000,000 a year more to run the government than is necessary, the cost continues to increase. Secretary of State Knox has just been allowed JIOO.OOQ additional for extra officers’ salaries in the state department. That department has also been allowed $237 for shoeing the carriage horses used by the officials.

THE REASON WHY < Some People Are More Successful I Than Oothtrs. It is the wise who watch and weigh I their investment, and always pur- | chase the best and pay a good price I for an article, because they profit by | their investments. The unsussessful I man always buys an article because it | is cheap and always looses because he derives no benefit from his investments. ’ The successful by 49 Pile Cure for $2.50 because it cured him, | while the unsuccessful buys $20.00 I worth of cheap fifty-cent stuff, which does him no good. i 49 Pile Cure now has 80 cases in Decatur that have reported cured. They all say they have spent hundreds of dollars in doctoring and try- | Ing other remedies. 49 is sold on a 15-day trial and if you are not satisfied return the jar and > box and your money will be returned any time within 15 days. 49 is sold by all durggists in Decatur. o — - CARD OF THANKS.
