SHOiiT *. hLKS Brief Comment Or Political and Other Matters of Public Interest. ANDREW J. PALM. If Attorney General Knox was not guilty of the offenses with which he was charged by the Anti-Trust League he should do something to disprove them. He was a trust attorney when appointed, and there isn't much doubt that he is a trust attorney general. It is safe to say that he will not put a straw in the way of the gigantic com binations which he is sworn to prose cute under the law. The supreme court has explained what a trust is, and the Sherman anti-trust law lays down the penalty. What is Mr. Knox waiting for? What is the Monroe Doctrine, any way, as taught by the Republican press and so-called Republican states men? In the light of recent experience and the spread-eagle oratory of the jingo members of congress it must mean that no foreign nation shall at tempt to colonize or control any island or country on this side of the Atlan tic, but that we may go wherever and whenever we please and buy or capture whatever we choose and make it ours to govern or to loot as we may decide. This is the only possible meaning that the Monroe Doctrine can have as taught by the Imperialists of the Unit ed States. It seems rather inconsistent for President Roosevelt to praise Post master General Smith so highly on leaving his cabinet. Not that Mr. Smith does not well deserve all the good things the president says of him, but that the man selected to take his place is almost everything in politics that Mr. Smith is not; and if Mr. Smith is Roosevelt's kind of a man the query is why didn't he select some one with at least some of his good quali ties to succeed hira. Roosevelt with all his boasted courage in fighting mountain cats is pandering to the boss element as completely as did his prede cessor, whose backbone, as Roosevelt once said, was like unto a wet bath towel. Senator Hoar wants to banish an archists to some island and let them there work out their own theory of do ing without government. Since the government refuses to allow the Fili pinos their inalienable right to have their own way on their own island it will not be likely to look with favor on Sen ator Hoar's project. Our government's perfidy in dealing with the Filipinos does its full share toward making an archists out of men who believe in the principles of liberty and justice. When government uses its force to oppress instead of protect, to destroy instead of uphold the rights of human beings it doesn't create a very deep respect for its purposes. Reciprocity is a good deal nearer free trade than was the revenue re form advocated by Cleveland and the Democratic party in 18sm and 1892. It's a wonder, therefore, that the ex treme protectionists don't denounce the rectprocityites as traitors —as they denounced the Democrats when they advocated the same thing under another name.—Titusville (Pa.) Ad vance Guard. What a bargain we got when we bought from Spain her Philippine war for a beggarly $20,000,000! Instead of a cheap insurrection, our purchase turns out to be a $400,000,000 affair at least, and there is no limit to the possible expansion of the figures. The greatest luck Spain has had in three hundred years came to her in Manila Bay and off Santiago.—Philadelphia North American (Hop.) Andrew Carnegie has made between one and two hundred million dollars, enough to make 15 to 20 thousand fam ilies, 75,000 people, very comfortable, by means of the protective tariff that robs the many to enrich the few. He knows exactly how it works, and hav ing become enormously rich by this legal robbery, and having retired from business, he says, "The best policy is to reduce protection duties." He is right in this. Every principle of jus tice and fairness demands this. —Shel- bina (Mo.) Democrat. Subscribe for the TIVIIU NE ROUND THE REGION. Mrs. J. I). Moouey, of Wllkesbarre, ; has just received word of the death of I her father, General James A. Cougdon, !of Milwaukee. He belonged to the l Twelfth Pennsylvania cavalry, which has afterwards merged into the Thir teenth. He served the entire four years and for acts of bravery. Rev. Father Sweeney, who adminis tered to the spiritual aid of the Riddles at Pittsburg and conducted the funeral, was formerly Miles Sweeney, of Ply mouth, and is a sou of John Sweeney, who now resides in that place.

Bears the Tha Kind V°u Have Always Bought Word llnildliiKr. The game of word building is played in this way: One person names a let ter, which the person at his left hand is obliged to follow with another letter which could be used in forming a word, but which does not of itself complete one. The third person, also having a word in mind, adds another which helps to form a word, but docs not complete one. The fourth person does likewise, and the game proceeds until some player finds that he cannot add another without forming a word. Whoever completes a word loses one of his three lives. Three lives lost banish one from the circle of the liv ing and makes a spirit of him. To make the plan of the game a lit tle clearer, let us say that the first player, having in mind the word ar chipelago, names the letter A. Player No. '2, thinking of albatross, adds 1,. No. thinking of allure, adds another L. Unfortunately for him, this addi tion forms the word "all," of which he did not think, and ho loses one of his three lives. If any player is suspected of nam ing a letter without having a word in mind, he can be challenged. If he can not give a word which could bo form ed by using the letter he named, he loses a "life." Rut if he can name one the player who challenges him loses a life. One by one lives are lost and players drop away, the last one win ning. An ESHIIJ on Ilaliit. A story is told of an English school master who offered a prize to the boy who should write the best composition in five minutes on "llow to Overcome Habit." At the expiration of five minutes the compositions wore read. The prize went to a lad of nine years. Following is his essay: "Well, sir, habit is hard to overcome. If you take off the first letter, it does not change 'abit.* If you take off an other, you still have a 'bit' left. If you take off still unother, the whole of 'it' remains. If you take off another, It is not wholly used up. All of which goes to show that if you want to get rid of a habit you must throw It off altogether." PLEASURE.

Almost diNtracted by its constant crying, and worn out with weary, anxious care and watching, she tries every thing possible to obtain even relief for the little sufferer. With what comfort and delight she sees her little one drop off into a deep peaceful health-giving slumber, after its little clogged bowels are cleared of their poisonous burden by a single I dose of Laxakola, the great tonic laxative and mother's remedy. Laxakola is a pure, "gentle and painless liquid laxative, and contains valuable tonic properties which not only act upon the bowels, but tone up the entire system and purify the blood. A few drojw can be given with safety to very young babies, which will often relieve colic by expelling the wind and gas that cause it. Great relief fs ex perienced when administered to young children suffering from diarrhcea, accompanied with white or green evacuations, as it neutralizes the acidity of the bowels and carries out the cause of the fermentation. LAXAKOLA will aid digestion, relieve restlessness, assist nature, and induce sleep. For constipation, simple fevers, coated tongue, or any infantile troubles arising from a disordered condition of the stomach it is invaluable. I.axakol.i, the great tonic laxative, Is not only tlie most efficient of family remedies, but the most economlial. becuuse it combines two medicines, \U.. laxative and tonic, and at ..ne price. No other remedy gives so much for the money. At druggists, 35c. and 50c.. or send for free sample to THE LAXAKOLA CO.. 131 Nassau Street. N. Y.. or 356 DeirbSrn Street.
