Clerk’s Wise Suggestion.
‘‘I have been very much troubl
ed with dispepsia, belching and
sour stomach.” writes M. S. Mead
leading pharmacist, of Attleboro.
Mass. “I could eat hardly any
thing without suffering several
hours. My clerk suggested that I
try Kodol Dyspepsia Cute which
1 did with most happy results. 1
have had no more trouble and
j whim one can go to eating mince
’ pie, cheese, candy and nuts after
| such a time, theii digestion must
! lie pretty good. I endorse Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure heartily.” You
don’t have to diet. Eat all the
good food you want, h it don’t
I overload the stomach. Kodol
Dyspepsia Cute digests your
food. J. I. Sturdivant.

Jones on Campaign Issues.
Washington, Feb. b Senator ,
i Jones of Arkansas, chairman of I
the democratic national committee, i
speaking today of future lienur
emtio , policies, would not admit j
tliat anti-imperial ism would be the
paramount issue in the next cam- ;
puign. but said it would ho a very j
prominent one. lie added: "No
one can at this time predict abso
lutely and accurately what the
future policy of any party will Ik1.
It. may be that the democratic
party will find it advisable to
eliminate certain policies of the
past- If so it will be done. 1
have authorized no one to deline
my belief as to what action will be
taken.”
This talk was called forth by the
story that democratic leaders are
perfecting plans for the elimina- i
tionofall politics that have been!
stamped as “ Bryan ism,”’

One Minute Cough Cure quickly
-elieved him and he went to sleep.
That's the last we heard of the

like that valuable?” One Minute
Cough Cure is absolutely sale and
acts immediately. Foi coughs,
colds, croup, grin, bronchitis and
all other throat and lung troubles
it is a certain cure. Very pleasant
to take. The little ones like it.

WASHIUTON POLITICAL CHAT
Swift's News Bureau. t
Wash;;;"ton, 1). C., February in. \
Mr. Roosevelt’s favoritism to
ward his friends is getting more
conspicuous all the time. Gen.
Leonard Wood has been guilty of
a real and serious infraction of
army rules and discipline, in send
ing letters to senators asking
early action on reciprocity for
Cuba. But Wood is not to he
reprimanded, or even politely in
formed that he has done wrong,
while the commander of the army
was publicly reprimanded and
humiliated for having merely ex
pressed an opinion of a duty that
had been officially performed by
another officer. There are two!
reasons why Gen. Wood has not |
been called down for his bad
break. One is that he is a chum !
|of Roosevelt’s, and the other!
that his lobbying is in the interest I
of Mr. Roosevelt. But it would
not change the status of Gen. i
' Wood's act if his lobbying were j
in the interest of something de
sired by uiue-Lajdhs of the peo
ple. Only a week ago Mr. Roose
velt issued no order forbidding !
• he employees of the government
asking anything from congress
under penalty of dismissal, and
; here is a major general of the
: army using government station
ary and official envelops to write
letters to senators asking foi
i ai !.itioii. Mi Roosevelt fol
ic- that tnis u- a government of
I the people, and not of 'lie favor
ed few. But he can rest assured
that he will be called to account
through the ballot box for his ut
/
tempts to create a class of privi
leged favorites.
HEREDITARY sTERHORNEsS.
Some ot tiro long-headed re
publicans in congress are trying
to persuade Mr. Roosevelt to ve
to the intentions of Iris daughter.
Miss Alice, to attend ttie corona
tion of King Edward. They have
Lold him that they will have
trouble enough explaining why a
special embassy was appointed al
a heavy expense to attend the
coronation, without having to ex
plain the presence there of the
daughter of the President of the
United States, but (lie result is
vet in doubt. Miss Alice has in
herited much of her father's
stubborness and her season in
Washington society, where the
toadies have turned the heads of
many older and more experienced
women, has given her a taste of
having her own way. She has
accepted the invitation to attend
the coronation, and her father
knows it will not he ail easy task
to ctmpell her to withdraw that
acceptance, even if he were dis
posed to have her do so.
THEIR COURAGE FAILED.
The republican senators did not
have the courage to vote for Sen
ator Stewart’s amendment to the
hill increasing about one-third
the salaries of federal judges,
providing for an increase of $2,
500 in the salaries of sotialoiAur.d
representatives—that is, only
ot them did—hut they voted s<
idly for the hill without the
amendment, and it was passed.
Senator Bailey, of Texas made
his hirst speech in the senate, and
it was a rattling good < in', too,
against this bill, and every demo-'
cratic senator voted against it.!
That fact will not lie forgotten in ;
this year's congressional cam
paign, in which republican cx
travigauce will lie an issue.
WANT TO DISCUSS THE SITUATION.
Senator Hoar presented a peti
tion in the senate, signed by a
numbei of distinguished citizens
in all parts of the country, asking
f >r a suspension of hostilities in
the Philippines, and that an op
portunity be given for a discus
sion of the, Situation between this
government and the Filipino
leaders.

Representative Cochran, of
Missouri, said of the resolution
he introduced in the Mouse in
viting President Kruger, of the
South African Republic, to visit
the United States as the guest of
the country: “The country is.
soon to pay $10,000 for the en
tertainment of Prince Henry.
Why should we not ex end thej
glad hand also to Oom Paul? We
don’t need to upend $10,000 on
him. We should only need to
give him plenty of good tobacco
and furnish him with a free ride
around over the country to see
what a lug power *.ve are getting
to he.
