THE BLACK HAND. America Is at last beginning to awake to a realization of the growth and danger of the) Black Hand within its borders. This dreaded society of organized violence originated in Italy and has come to this country with Italian immigrants. Up to a very few years back Black Hand outrages were almost entirely confined among the Italians and rarely if ever were true born Americans in the least threatened

or molested. Of late this has changed.

and Americans in all parts of the country aro not only being threatened, but aro even being murdered by the emisaries of this murderous order. The Black Hand and anarchism are often confused. They have no connection. The Black Hand is purely a criminal organization that Beeks to gain a livelihood for its mepibcres through extortion and blackmail. Intended victims of the Black Hand are notified that unless they pay certain amounts of money their lives will be forfeited. Anarchism is more or less of a political belief. Anarchists are nearly always discontents who would change the existing order of things and do away with all government, believing all men should be a law unto themselves. Among anarchists there are two classes. The poor and povertystricken anarchists who makes no pretense of hiding his dislike of government and the rich anarchist who, hiding behind a false government of, for and by the people, does just as he wishes to. This latter class of anarchists hold forth in Wall street and other financial centers of the United States. The Black Hand, however, cares not whether there Is a government or not. Its aim is not political, but plunder. If its Intended victims do not comply with its request for blackmail motley they are blown to kingdom tome with dynamite or else struck down In the dark by murderous ast.assins. The only possible and practical cure seems to be deportation. The members of the Black Hand are

almost entirely composed of Italians and it would not be very difficult for our government to tighten th .eins on Ellis Island so that more recruits for this nefarious order can not slip through to join those already in this

country. As fast as the members of the order now in the United States are detected they should be deported. A few years of this kind of medicine and the Black Hand will cease to bo a growing menace to all free born American citizens and to our free institutions.

Washington, March 7. I had a Ions talk with the Senator's son today. I knew his father when he was just breaking into the political arena, at which time I was writing small fires and social notes in a western city. The Senator's Son is rather interesting. He has remarkable ideas for a young man, who on his arrival in Washington, studiously forgot the manners of the folks back home and sat up nights cultivating the Washington air. You are a university man?'' I asked him. "Yeah," he replied. Thafs the univorsity style of saying yes. "Didn't finish,' ' he- continued. "Beastly bore this studying. I prefer the school of experience. Father found that school the best and I dare say I'll benefit the same. I intend to follow his example, you know." "But jour father, as I recollect, made his fortune and developed his influence while he was a. breeder of cattle," I said. "Do you intend to go in for cattle raising?" "Oh, dear, no," he said. "Evolution makes that unnecessary, don't you know. Anyhow, father did not raise cattle exactly for money-making purposes. He liked that business and, as he naturally took interest in a hobby he couldn't make money." "Oh, I see. He made his fortune accidentally," I said. "He happened to be inflicted with a lucky hobby." "That's it. Then when he entered politics, he was in his element. Statesmanship runs in the family." "But your grandfather was he in public life?" "Only locally," said the Senator's Son. "He was a peculiar man. He, too, raised cattle. Hobb, also, otherwise he would have entered the senate." Our further conversation discovered t.e fact that the Senator's Son intended to return West next week, at his father's suggestion. He, too, will engage in the family hobby and, for the iwxt three years will learn something of work on a ranch. The Senator thinks it will be healthful for him, both mentally and physically, and n.ay be the means of dismissing a few foolish notions from the head of the young man. Tho Senator decided on this course after tho young man had informed him, with a spark of pride, that he was most proficient at the university in the studies of lawn tennis and penmanship. "How about your arithmetic, and such things," asked the senator. "Beastly bore," said the young man.

"I didn't go in for those things very strong." He'll come out all right, for ho comes of the right sort of stock. His fr.ther is a thorough American, a man who marketed 'cattle and, by the exercise of good, common, horse sense, made good. The Senator's Son has beei somewhat spoiled by the position of the family in the social world. He'll come out all right as soon as he has done a little work and has had time for reflection. He th'nks he is going out to the ranch on a health trip a sort or period of diversion. He'll be doing chores about the place before Song. Then will come tho revolt and the inevitable heart-to-heart talk with his father. Incidentally, he'll find the Senator in a mood very much strange to him when he kicks over the traces. It will be the making of the Senator' Sou.

he could do would be to immediately send in his resignation. The next morning he meets the suave old senator in the hall and is as

sured that he plays a fair game of whist, but he should htudy up his j Hoyle a little. The clerk then deI cides that he will not longer think of resigning.

Uncle Joe Cannon told the other day of his first Impressions of Washington. He had not been in the capital very long until he was thoroughly disgusted. He was on the point of resigning several times, and, on second thought, resolved that he would stick out his term and not run for re-election. Kach time some one else got after his Job and Uncle Joe was stirred up by this fact. He concluded to return to Washington and did so. "My highest ambition today is to be a member of the house of representatives," said the speaker, "and to die during a session of congress so that I will be burled at public expense. Then the other fellows can attend the funeral and talk under their breaths about who is likely to succeed me."

u newspaper readers realized how great a change in the flag is necessitated bv the admission of O' lahoma to statehood there would be lively competition for submitting aii appropriate arrangement of the stars. A great amount of money will be involved by this change. No decision has been made on the arrangement of the stars. There are six rows at present alternating seven and eight to the row. A number of propositions have been submitted by ingenious designers for taking care of the extra star, but the arrangements have not filled the bill. The flags used by the government will have to be cast aside and new ones with the Oklahoma star, will have to be purchased. When it is considered that flags are displayed by postoffices. custom houses, ships, army posts, recruiting stations, etc., some idea of the tremendous expense involved can b3 formed. The bunting, which by the way is of the best grade and quite expensive, will run into millions of yard. To compute the cost of new flags for the various states, corporations and individuals is impossible. Every ship will be required to purchase a new fiag, and even foreign ships wil change their flags for the new ones.

Rest the Stomach Nature alone can cure Dyspepsia. But you must aid it by giving the stomach help. Let Kodol, for a little time, do all the digestive work. You will be astonished to see how quickly the stomach recovers.

There is no such a thing as a cure for dyspepsia. We might as well talk about a cure for lame ankles. Nature must do the curing. And Nature will do it when given the chance. Tonics and stimulants may seem to help for a time. But their effect comes only from spurring the stomach to action. And weakness cannot be cured with a spur. One must relieve the stomach. Let Kodol do, for a little time, what the stomach fails to do. Help it as you help a lame ankle. Rest tt. as you rest other - organs that need to recuperate. And stop the irritation of hard, undigested food. You will be surprised to note how quickly the stomach can regain its strength.

Francis M. Cock rill, who is now a member of the interstate commerce commission has caused the young men about the commission office no end of anxiety by a display of temper while playing whist. If there's one thing the ex-Senator likes to do, it is to play whit.t, and while he is the most mild-mannered man to be found anywhere, he is terribly riled when he gets into a game with some one who is a bungling player. He then shows some of the fighting spirit that brought him to the top in politics and made him a good soldier in the confederate army. He rises in his wrath, cusses everyone iu sight, and starts for home. The young men about the commission office think it an honor to go out and play whist of an evening with Mr. Cockrill. If one of them makes a break, Mr. Cockrill's condemnation is so severe that the victim goes home pondering about where he will get another job. He thinks tho best thing

The speculation as to the course President Roosvelt will assume when he becomes Theodore Roosevelt, private citizen is becoming, if anything, more keen every day. The men of Congress are not visiting at the White House as frequently as they did before the President announced that he would not be a candidate for a third term, would not be a candidate for the Senate from New York and would not go to Africa to shoot big game. As long as it was thought that the President might decide to remain in public life, he was feared. The impression now is that when he goes out of the White House ho will conduct a literary propaganda. He will probably write things that will develop public opinion in support of the legislation in which the people are most interested. Nobody expects that Mr. Theodore Roosevelt will be off the map of affairs. Just what he will do, he alone knows, but will be before the public, that is assured. And there will be a crusade that will attract the attention of the country from time to ime.

All modern treatments for indigestion aim at this relief. But they aim in different ways. Some advise dieting. That brings partial relief by omitting some elements which the stomach can't digest. But the omitted foods are important. The body requires many food elements. When you cut some of them out. you are robbing some part. How can Nature restore digestive strength if you deprive it of nourishment? Another common way is to take pepsin, or digesters which depend almost solely on pepsin. That helps a little, for pepsin digests albumen. But only part of your food Is albumen. Pepsin can't digest starch; it can't digest fat. What will become of them?

it is essential to have a digester which com

pletely digests all food. That is Kodol. There ! nothing else which contains all the needed elements. A perfect digester can put up only in liquid form. That is hy Kodol is liquid. And. becau? it is liquid, like ifae digestive juices, its action i almost instant. This is Tery easily proved. Take Kodol after the meal, and note the absence of pain, of fermentation, of gas. It is evident that the food is digesting. Or mix Kodol with food ta a test tube, under proper conditions, and one can sv tt digest. Not part of the food, as with pepsin, but all of it. You can find no other digester which will meet such a test, for there is none. Will you use a digester that goes but half way? Or will you give to the stomach that complete r lief which comes only from the use of Kodol? Our Guarantee You mar prove, without the risk of a penny, what Kodol can do. Buy one large bottle, and ask your druggist for the signed guarantee. If the results are not satisfactory, take the empty bottle back and your druggist will return your money. This offer is made on the large bottle only, and to but one in a family. That will amply prove how much Kodol means to you. Then please tell your friends who ned this help how easy it Is to obtain it. Kodol is prepared at the laboratories of R C DeWitt & Co., Chicago. The $1.00 bottle contain 2'3 times as much as the 50c bottle.

THE PREACHER IN POLITICS. WHY NOT?

Editor Palladium: Thero seems to be a difference in the real meaning of politics, and the common acceptance of the term. The real definition of the term is "the science of government." The common acceptance seems to be corruption, trickery, boodle, graft; and, the idea is largely prevalent that politicians are boodlers, tricksters and grafters. The true meaning of politician is "one versed in the science of government." Everyone who aspires to a place in politics should be fitted ' by study and previous preparation for it.

And he should be a person with good principles and conscientious, one who will do right under any and all pressure. Bribes, and graft should not enter into his acts to influence them, but the higher influence of judgment, after a careful process of wise reasoning, should influence the acts. If politics has got into a cesspool of iniquity, those in it, have put it there, and if the people have formed opinions adverse to it. it is because politicians have not acted wisely, and honestly. Good men should not shun political gatherings and movements because of the corruption that seemingly accompanies them, but should by presence and influence try to lift up, and put the movements onto a higher plane the plane of righteous-

Poor Economy It is easy to make flaked food for 10 cents. We could use a cheaper wheat or use corn. And leave out the pure maple syrup. We could leave in the broken flakes that we now sift out about 10$ of the product. We could use the process that some others use from 18 to 20 hours. The process we do use requires 96 hours. But that is what makes MaplFlake what it is. Our wheat is steam-cooked for six hours. Then thoroughly cured. Then flaked so thin that the full heat of our ovens gets to each atom. Then it is toasted, for 30 minutes, in a heat of 400 degrees. The object is to make the starch all digestible. For wheat is largely starch. Starch, to be digestible, must be made soluble. The particles must be separated so the digestive juices can get to them. When wheat is halfcooked only half will digest. That is why we spend the 96 hours. And why Mapl-Flake costs 15 cents. It is to create a food that's all food. To supply your children as good a food as we insist on for ours. To give you a food that's really cheabecause it all digest9.

And the real difference in ctst is a trifle. Add the cost of the cream, and tee how little you save by getting a secondary food. Then consider the flavor the flavor of pure maple syrup. For we cook oar wheat in the pure Vermont product. Think how that entices the children how it leads' them to eat the food that is best for them. You lose more than you realiie you who go without the food that you lik best, thinking you save five cents. "It's AU Too

ness. Politics should not drag men down, but men should lift politics up. If ministers of the gospel of Jesus Christ enter the political arena they thould exemplify the teachings of their master, and by their precepts and example, lift politics up, and not lower their calling and themselves. In this great republic every citizen in his religious, social and business life, is affected by the acts of those in the legislative, executive and judicial positions of the country, and he 6hould be interested in those movements that put men into power. Xiood citizens should see to it that good men are put into places of power and trust. No man can afford, whether he be minister or layman, to say, "I am not interested in politics." All great religious advances are brought about by good men. All social reforms are created by good men and women. All great political advances ave been directed by good and great men and whenever a disaster has tome to the republic, bad men have taused it and when we have had financial panics, stock gamblers, grnfters and unscrupulous financiers have brought tliem about. So that in my wind what the republic needs is sood men to direct its affairs. What we need is clean politics and it is impossible to have it unles-s clean men will enter it and cleanse it by square dealing. Stock gamblers, grafters and boodlers should be eliminated and pood, conscientious men should be put iu. and if there Is a set of men who should be good men. it is the ministry. ORANGE S. HARRISON.

Editor Palladium: - As vast numbers of our citizens are iiow giving their undivided attention to the microbe infested cow, we are quite sure that your many readers will be deeply interested in the following able-bodied poem evolved on this vital subject by S. R. Traum and James Charles of our city, which was read before the Men's Social Union at East

; Main Street church recently. j The authors however, wish to cuaj tion your readers to be careful as to

how they handle the chorus in this poem, as it is too heavy to be safe in the hands of any one but a veterinary surgeon and it is liable to go off on a tangent at any point, as it has a very heavy wabble on the starboard side, thus fearfully endangering the operator in trying to'handle the thing and should it strike the cow the consequences might be disastrous to her, for ir it did not kill her outright it would so impair her health as to render her milk unfit for use. i HARRY P. REEVES. President. A doctor and-a preacher in struggling with the feature. Of our microbe infested and unsanitary cow; That has created such a flurry and has given such a worry To our gay and festive health-board that you see is with us now, That they're working over time, in this and every clime, To eliminate all microbes from tho gentle meek-eyed cow. CHORUS. O the Cow. the Cow, the unsanitary cow ; She's so full of microbes and wicked germs just now Which she gathers from a dirty stable floor. That her milk will kill a baby, or an older person maybe. Though taken at a range of forty rods or more.

I Hut if you've never seen the picture j of a sanitary cow, And will only ait a moment wre will try to ttll you how

She looks when decorated, fumigated and elated,. By attentions which her owner so gladly gives her now. Her mercenary owner has come up against the law; And his attention to her must be minus any flaw. For should he become a kicker and think to U-t. her flicker. He'll soon receive a portion of our health board's heavy jaw. She must sleep with windows open w ith her consort by her side. While her calf bawls in the barn-lot, for the milk it is denied. She must bathe in toilet water hyocinth or violet. And must wear her bed room slippers lest she get her pedals wet. Such, dear people is the sanitary cow. She must wear a satin ribbon on her ivory colored horns; She must, manicure her footlets and thus keep them free from corns. She must retire early and her habits must bo firm; Drink her Postum through a muzzle lest she should imbibe a germ. Must this modern sanitary cow. She may wear a lady's corset if she does not lace too tight; But her costume must be simple if tdie keeps her health all right. When she ambles out to pasture if the grass with dew is wet. She must wear her high heeled slippers, lest she epizootic get.

On her appendage-caudle she must wear a silken sack. With which to fan the milk-man when he leads her to the rack To extract the lacteal fluid, which he calls her inilk and cream. Which he purifies with water, though quite strange this act may heem. When taken from a sanitary cow. When her owner lights the lantern and goes out to the barn To arouse her from her slumbers, w ith a peck or so of corn. He should don his patent leathers, white kid gloves and full dress suit. Rub her down with Sapolio and Gold Dust twins to boot, Before he seats iiimself beside her.

there to rudely loot The milk tank of thi.s sauitary cow. We could muse this way for hours, if we only had tho time. And without care or worry tell our story all iu rhyme. Hut should we thus reach tho limit and there make our "final bow. Wo could ne'io exhaust the merits of the sanitary cow.
