Policy. 9f Negotldtion. "To maintain our national honor by peace it we can, by war if we must," is the motto- of the president of the United States. But before submitting to the chance aind misery of war, true statesman that he is, he proposes to put the rea son and justice of negotiation to the test. 'But, say our critics, this policy sat isfes no one. - They mean it does not satisfy those who' would map out a new and un tried course for this nation to pursue; Temporary Chairman Glynn. but they forget it does satisfy those who believe the United States should live up to the principles it has pro fessed for a century and more. National Honor. In desperation for a slogan our op ponehts try to- create an issue out of national honor. Now national honor is not the whim of an individual mind. National honor is the composite sen timent, the composite reason of a whole people feeling the emotions of nature and following the dictates of God. And it is for this reason that "the power" to declare- war is conferred by the Constitution of the United States, not on the individual will of president, but on the composite rea sbn,. the representative decision of "the congress of the United States." Some ~Preparedness ideas. The genius of this country,. is for peace. There is no danger of mili tarism. We have built our greatness on the resources :of nature and the peace ful toil of our people. -With us .war' has never been a 'choice, it has always been a fate. Like the old Mohawk chief who loved peace, we would like to throw the toruahawk of war~ so high in the sky that no man's - hand could ever pull it down. But when some other tribe among the races. of men sends us a bundle -of arrows wrapped In the skin of a rattlesnake, 'we want to be in a position to send that rattle snake's skin back stuffed with powder. and with ball. We deprecate .'the compulsion but' we recognize th~e need of the police man on the, beat, the safe in the hank and the watchdog on the farm. SThe war across the seas has brought home to us the fear that so long as. men are men and nations na tions, stars will continue. . For .these reasons this administra tion hIas done more for our army and our' navy than any administration in our.. history. The Dlemooratlc party advocates and seeks preparedness, but it is prepared nos' ,for. iefense, not preparedness for ggi-ession. - Nat ona' Soul.

Four years ago the people of this country entrusted their government to a man and to a party who prom lied that they would liberate the na tion from the chains of industrial tyrinny, who pledged themselves to break down the barriers behind which special privilege isat entrenched; who engaged themselves to emancipate business, to throw wide the gate* of lawful enterprise, to restore to the men and women of America the paths r of progress which had been cholied r and blocked by long years of invisible a government. That promise has been kept; that pledge has been redeemed. We must content ourselves here with a brief consideration of .the great landmarks which chart the change from govern ment for the fortunate few to an even handed government in the Interest- L of -all. The first of these is the federal reserve act which freed the business v man and the farmer from the financial C lomination of the money changers and lifted the menace of panic from our d Industrial life. ~ In the same spirit and with the same motive that inspired the fed- I eral reserve' act this administration ; has devoted Itself to the stimulation i )f American industry, agriculture and t trade through all th0 agencies of gov. Drnment. New Meaning to Laws. It has given a new meaning and a new force to the laws restraining big business from strifling competi ion. It has created a trade commission to afford to business generally a more tirect and, prompt administration of , the laws -relating to business It has established government rep resentatives throughout the world, whose sole duty is to foster the ex pansion of American trade. - It has created. a closer union of economic, commercial and financial interests between the United States and the nations of South America. It has declared in la'nguage that no court and no omployer can compel his men to work for him against their will. It has freed the farmer from the ] chains of a financial system 'which I was devised for business and not for ' farming. d I cannot close this review of what t the present administration has eccom- d plished without adverting to its cour ageous and statesmanlike solution of the nation's tariff problem. Of all the tariffs we ever enacted this is the fairest and the best. By the Underwood law this admin stration has taken the tariff out of politics; by the new tariff commis sion it proposes to take politics out >f the tariff. Under the pr-esent administration he United States has enjoyed a won lerful era of good business, and good :imes. Fioodtide of Prosperity. The flood-tide of our prosperity has ,isen to such an unprecedented height that the only limit to trade is our ibility to make and transport the comn Enodities demanded at home and ihroad. The purchasing power of our peo pie is greater than that of any other people on the globe. Never was there is much money in our vaults as today. Nowhere else on earth is there a more equitable distribution of what the energy o't labor hammers into cx stencis out of the material which capi tal places in its hand. Measured by every possible stand ard-by the volume of exports and imports; by the expansion of domes. tic trade, by the condition of labor, by the rate of wages, by the size of bank deposits and clearing-house re turns, by the balance of trade or by the amount of gold in 'the country, by my and all of these standards, this :ountry today is enjoying prosper'ty iuch as no other country has ever en joyed. before. -Wilson the Man. Americanism and peace, prepared. seas and prosperity-these are the Issues upon which the Democratic party stands, and the heart of Dem cracy swells with pride that is more than a -pride of party, as it hails the man, who has asserted this Amern. 3anism, assured this peace, advocated :lis preparedness and produced this prosperity. The man who is president of the United States today has measured up to the best traditions of a great ofilee.

I suffereo dreadful pains in my hips, and head and in the abdomen. I seemed to suffer all over, and I felt I would welcome death. I could not sleep at night and was awfully nervous... I read of Cardul in the Almanac and thought I would try it, as I felt I must have some re lief from this awful suffering, for I had lost my flesh, weighing only 94 pounds. I was getting weaker all th time and felt I would die if I didn't get something to help me. "I sdnt for one bottle of Cardul, an after its use I was improving. I thei bought six bottles for $5.00, for I hai seen it was helping me. The pain wa relieved. I could sleep at night. M nerves got better... I got severv more bottles and had regained m health, strength, and flesh, and weig my usual weight... My' housewor is, a pleasure now. I have as goo health as anybody.
