These meetings will begin at seven o’clock, and should be well attended THEY FEAR TRUSTS The supporters of Mr. Roosevelt will gain little by showing errors in Judge Parker's figures about Philippine adminstration. He is quite as likely to be correct as those who are interested in showing he is not. They have the figures. Judge Parker no sooner stated what he understood them to be than an executive order was issued forbidding officials to give to citizens access to or knowledge of the records. No party in temporary possession of power, could well do a harder thing than forbid to citizens access to its records of expenditures or knowledge of those records. We are assured that the facts are made public every month! Those capable of forbidding access to records, between monthly issues, can well be suspected of a capability of “cooking” the records of their monthly publications. A partisan may not care who makes the songs of a nation, so long as he is permitted to “make its statistics.” The books of a free government should be as open to the opposition as they are to the party in power. The interest of an opposi-

tion to magnify is not greater than that of a party in power to minimize the figures. To be sure “figures cannot lie,” but they can be made into fearful and wonderful lies and those whom the truth would indict have a tremendous interest to falsify it. Judge Parker and his supporters have been treated to severe lectures on their “errors” by those who have forbidden to them access to the records ' That is what Napoleon 111 and his officials were wont to do to Thiers ,' and his friends in the empire days. Facts showed whv after a while, and facts showed that Thiers and his friends understand instead of overstated the truth. A party in power should be turned out of power when it abuses the trust of . possession by refusing access to the records of expenditure. The refusal is itself sufficient cause for its expulsion from place. “Only they fear the truth whom the truth would indict.”—Brooklyn Eagle. Now let's finish the tight which up to this time we have won. With a full vote out the deed is done. Tne votes are what count after all. The democrats with diligence can get these votes and the work from this on should be along the line of individual efforts. The g. o. p. wreck in this state can not save themselves if each and every democrat will spend his time in assisting the organization ■in getting to the polls the democratic vote. Get busy. ——— Indiana is now conceded to be a home racehorse. That true the democrats can win the fight by getting out their vote. This is important and should concern every individual democrat in the state.

Simple Remady For Catarrh Just Breathe Hyomei Four Times a Day and Be If a few years ago some one had said you can cure catarrh by breathing air charged with healing balsams, the idea would have been ridiculed and it remained for that eminent investigator, R. T. Booth, to discover in Hyomei this method of cure. Hyomei haa performed almost miraculous cures of catarrh, and it is today recognized by leading members of the medical profession jas the onlyadvertised remedy that can be relied upon to do just what it claims. The complete outfit of Hyomei costs but •®I.OO and consists of an inhaler, a medicine dropper and a bottle of Hyomei. Rev. J. B. Cook, of Holliston, Mass., says: “My wife has suffered greatly from catarrh for fifteen years. Nearly four weeks ago she commenced to use Hyomei and the beneficial effect was immediate. It is very seldom that she needs to clear her head or throat and she is able to rest quietly at night.” Breathe Hyomei through the inhaler for a few minutes four times a day and it will cure the worst case of eotar rh. It soothes and heals the mucous membrane of the air passages, prevents irritation, and effects a complete and lasting cure. In Decatur there are scores of well known people who have been cured of catarrh by Hyomei. If it does not help you the HothouseDrugCo.will return the money you paid for Hyomei.
