For tho Stomach Heart and Kidneys Dr. Shoop’s Restorative is a Causa • Care—not a Symptom Core. It is* common mistake to take artificial film•ns for stomach troubles—or heart stimulants for weak heart—or so-called kidney remedies for diseased kidneys. These organs do not act separately or of their own accord—they have no eon* trol over themselves—and not once ta 800 times la the sickness the fsult of the organ. It is the fault of the nerves which control the organarid only through these ▲ nerves can stomach, kidney lor heart dls*Mtx orders be cured. Dr. Shoop. of Racine, Wisconsin, learned early in his medical that these inside nerves were the power nerves through them only was it pos-dMMWl!f!lh. sibletocureindigestion.heat burn, belchlug, Insomnia, ABbac k a c h e. heart weak- ||V| (■ nesses, and Bright's dis-'WAHflßaiffßP'e&.se and all other a9ectionßwH^m^ranjp r or the kidneys. For all or^m^[BmflW r these ailments are not separatesicknesses and are. not to be such. They are merely symptoms of nerve weakness, and when are restored the symptoms and disappear. The remedy which Dr.vShoop prescribed for these ailing nerves is known as Dr. Bhoop’s Restorative. It relieves the pain and distress of kidney, stomach and heart troubles quicker even than those medicines designed simply to give temporary relief. Dr. Shoop’s Restorative can now be had of druggists everywhere. For saic nod recommended by A. F. LONG.

RIGHT TO THE POINT

Republican Editor Will Keep His Dollar. * The Empire, a Republican newspaper published in Concordia, Kansas, printed the following pointed editorial last week: "We have been invited to send a dollar contribution to the Republican campaign fund that is being raised by popular subscription and to which President Roosevelt recently subscribed. We would like to have our dollar in such select company, all right, but we’ve done all the contributing we intend to this year. "We reoently have completed building a house at a cost of something over $4 ,000, and for every foot of lumber, every pane of glass, every sack of cement, every pound of nails, and in fact, for nearly every bit of material that went into it we made a good, liberal contribution through the trusts that control them, and we guess we have done our share.

“It may be treason for a Republican newspaper to talk this way, but facts are facts, and It sort of relieves our tell the truth about the trusts once In a while. We’ll just let the several trust* to which we have had to pay unwilling tribute in the last year pay our dollar for us. We need It and they don’t.” The views of the Kansas editor make Interesting reading and are very much to the point. In the same connection it is recalled that Charles S. Hernly, ex-chairman of the Republican state committee, a short time ago made the following remarks: "Everybody Is for tariff revision except the protected interests and a few politicians. Representative Watson wanted to make a stand-pat speech in congress, but he knew that he did not dare to do so. The speech which Charlie Landis made, sounding the stand-pat slogan, will cost him thousands of votes. There Is only one side to the tariff question. When steel rails sell for |2B a ton in the United States and $lB a ton In Canada it is time something is done. If any doubtful person wants to be convinced of the necessity of revision let him study the tariff on lumber aim building materials generally. The time has actually come when a poor man cannot build a home for himself because he cannot for the materials that enter Into its construction.”

But Mr. Hemly and the Kansas editor are not the only Republicans who have spoken their minds. Before the Oyster Bay conference settled upon "stand pat” as the campaign war-cry, Congressman 0. B. L&ndls had made his speech committing himself to the trusts. Of that speech the South Bend Tribune, not long ago the mouthpiece of the Republican state committee, said:

"Charles B.- Landis has boldly and arrogantly committed himself to the stand-pat theory. He made a speech in the house, in which he openly and strongly declared himself against tariff revision. Mr. Landis may understand his subject well, he may be satisfied in his own mind regarding the tariff, but when he declares there is no sentiment In this state favoring revision he makes a mistake.” After the Oyster Bay conference and the adoption of the "stand pat” slogan. the Rising Sun Recorder, Republican from away back, said this: “About everybody in Indiana, we assume, favors a revision of the tariff, and what is called the ‘stand pat’ policy has no friends among the masses of the people. No matter how many consultations are held, at Oyster Bay or elsewhere, the fact cannot be downed that tariff reform Is necessary and cannot be postponed much longer. It will be wise to heed the demand.” These are only samples of the disturbance In the Republican ranks, and It la not much wonder that the campaign managers are looking wildly about for new "Issues."

Pearls and the Steel Trust.

The Indianapolis News printed the following item the other day: “Judge Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel corporation directors, paid $31,800 duty on two pearls which he brought with him from France. He announced that they were a present for Mrs. Gary, who is especially fond of pearls. The pearls are worth $63,000." As the head of the steel trust, Judge Gary can doubtless buy pearls for $52,000 and pay $31,800 duty on them without cramping himself. The Dingley tariff "protects” the steel trust for the benefit of Gary and his associates —Carnegie, Frick, Schwab, Corey and the rest. It is estimated that the steel trust—which sells its products cheap abroad and high at home, will clear $160,000,000 this year. That is something like 31 per cent on-the "real money” invested in Its business. The people "pay the freight” and likewise the duty on Gary’s pearls, to say nothing of the coats of the numerous divorce suite of the steel magnates.

IMPOSING ON THE NEWSPAPERS

A recent "special” from Indianapolis which appeared in several of the state newspapers, contained some notably false and misleading statements. In order to show that the purpose of the writer is solely to serve the Republican party a part of the “special” is here set out as follows: "Democratic leaders admit that there Is not the demand for Bryan in Indiana that there was prior to his Madison Squsre Darden meeting. Up until that time Secretary Reilley was besieged with requests from all parts of the state that Bryan be sent to aid in electing Democrats. The requests now are few and far between. Republicans say that the falling off in the demand for the Nebraskan is significant. It means, they say, that the people of Indiana will not stand for his government ownership ideas. It Is quietly admitted that Bryan’s new issue will have a marked effect on the present state campaign. This Is conceded by Democrats and Republicans alike." There is no truth whatever in the above statements. The demand for Mr. Bryan from all parts of the state has not fallen off, but it has grown to overwhelming proportions. Mr. Bryan has no more made “government ownership” an issue than Mr. Roosevelt did in his last message to congress last winter and in other published

statements. Mr. Bryan would prefer ownership of the railroads by the government rather than ownership of the government by the railroads, as most other persons would, but like most others he favors effective public supervision and regulation rather than public ownership. The effort of the Republican managers to draw attention away from their scandalous alliance with the trust, and from their dishonest and wasteful management in both the national and state governments shows how badly scared they are. Whenever they resort to methods of which the above mentioned “special” is a small % sample the people know that the Republican politicians realize'that defeat stares them in the face.

Republicans Doable the Goat,

The Democratic state platform recites that alnce 1894 the Republican party has been in absolute control of the executive and legislative departments of our state government, and charges that "it has unnecessarily and largely increased the number of officials, the salaries of officials, the expenses of public business and the burdens of taxpayers.” This charge is true. The Democrats were in power In the state in 1893 and controlled the legislature, but since that time the Republicans have been in control. A comparison of the appropriations made by the Democrats in 1893 for the principal offices with the Republican appropriations made in 1905 doeß not tell the whole story, but It tells enough to show the vast difference between the two parties in handling the public funds. In 1893, when Claude Matthews wa* governor, there was appropriated for the executive department $12,020. In 1905. when J. Frank Hanly was governor, there was appropriated for the executive department $57,400. In 1893 the appropriation for the secretary of state's office was $9,400. In 1905 the appropriation was $18,700. In 1893 the appropriation for the auditor of state’s office was' SIO,BOO. In 1905 the appropriation was $21,800. In 1893 the appropriation for the treasurer of state’s office was $5,820. In 1905 the appropriation was $9,520. In 1893 the appropriation for the attorney general’s office was $4,800. In 1905 the appropriation was $18,870, ■besides an indefinite sum for the traveling expenses of the attorney general and his deputies. Besides all this, extra “legal advisers" have been employed to perform duties which should have been performed by the attorney general’s regular force. In 1893 the appropriation for the office of superintendent of public instruction was $6,600. In 1905 the appropriation was $12,122.38.

In 1893 the appropriation for the adjutant general’s department (including the support, of tbe militia) was $39,520. In 1905 the appropriation was The salary of the adjutant general was increased from $1,200 to $2,250 and the quartermaster general from S6OO to $1,200. In 1893 the salaries of the supreme court judges were $4,000 each and the salaries of the appellate <sourt Judges were $3,500 each, with no clerk hire. In 1905 the salaries of both the .supreme and appellate court Judges were $6,000 each, making an annual Increase of $25,000 in the salaries of the two courts. Besides, In 1905 the supreme court judges were each \l- - SSOO annually for stenographic and clerical help and the appellate court was allowed $2,160 annually for the same kind of help. In 1898 the appropriation for the office of supreme court reporter was $5,700. In 1905 the appropriation was $8,660. The appropriations for the above offices alone show that the Republicans have more than doubled their cost to the taxpayers. The figures show that the Democrats appropriated a total of $132,160 as against a Republican appropriation of $297,112, a difference of $164,952 In favor of Democratic economy.

BRYAN ON RAIL ROADS

Regulation First, Ownership Only a Last Resort. In a speech at Louisville on September 12, before an audience of more than 20,000 persons, Mr. Bryan took occasion to settle once and finally the question as to his position with reference to the railroads. Because he made in his New York speech about possible government ownership as an ultimate remedy for abuses—not differing greatly in substance from utterances of President —Republican papers, politicians and other interested persons at once began to misrepresent his attitude. They charged that he had made an immediate issue of government ownership and had committed his party to it. Nothing that he had said gave the slightest warrant for this charge. He made no concealment of the fact that he favored government ownership of the railfoads as a last resort if they would not yield to fair regulation, but he first favors regulation and hopes that thereby the rights of all concerned may be safeguarded. At Louisville he said:

"This statement of my views has been assailed by some as an attempt to force these views upon the Democratic party and by some as an announcement of an intention to insist upon the incorporation of these views in the next Democratic national platform. “Let me answer these two charges. I have tried to make it clear that I expressed mg own opinion, and I have never sought to compel the acceptance of my opinion by anyone else. Reserving the right to do my own thinking, I respect the right of everyone else to do hie thinking. I have too much respect for the rights of others to ask them to accept any views that I may entertain unless those views commend themselves to others, and I have too much confidence in the independent thought in my own party to expect that any considerable number of Democrats would acknowledge my right to do their thinking for them, even if I were un-Democratic enough to assert such a right. "As to platforms, I have contended always that they should be made by the voters. I have in my speeches and through my paper, insisted that the platform should be the expression of the wishes of the voters of the party and not be the arbitrary production of one man or a few leaders.

"If you ask me whether the question of government ownership will be an issue in the campaign of 1908, I answer, I do not know. If you ask me whether It ought to be in the platform, I reply, I cannot tell until I know what the Democratic voters think on the subject. If the Democrats believe that the next platform should contain a plank In favor of government ownership, then that plank ought to be included. If the Democrats think it ought not to contain such a’plank, then such a plank ought not to be included. It rests with the party to make the platform, and individuals can only advise. I have spoken for. myself and for myself only. "I still advise strict regulation, and shall rejoice if experience proves that that regulation can be made effective. I will go farther than that, and say that I believe we can have more efficient! regulation under a Democratic administration, with a Democratic senate and house, than we are likely to have under a Republican adminietration, with a Republican senate and house.

“President Roosevelt, although expressing himself against government ownership, has announced that only successful regulation can prevent government ownership. Is there any Democrat who is not willing to go as far as President Roosevelt and admit the necessity of government ownership in case the people are convinced of the failure of regulation? I cannot believe it. “Then, while we attempt to make regulation effective, while we endeavor to make the experiment under the most favorable conditions, namely, with the Democratic rarty in power, let us not hesitate to inform the railroads that they must keep out of politics; that they must keep their hands off of legislat:on; that they must abstain from interfering with the party machinery and warn them that they can only maintain their private control of the railroads by accepting such regulation as the people may see fit to apply In their own Interest and for their own protection. Without this threat our cause would be hopeless. It remains to be seen whether, with this threat, we shall be able to secure justice to the shippers, to the traveling public and the taxpayers."
