The Strenuous President of the United States Playing to the Galleries for a Re-Nomination. Washington, D. C., Aug. 21.—The strenuous president of these United States is still piling up tilings for his extra session of the 59th congress to do. On the advice of ACorney-General Moody he will add to his recommenda- tions to the extra session the subject of the revision of the criminal law of The United States. This, undoubtedly conies from the fact that there seems to he nothing in the criminal law as it now stands to ca’ch and punish this fellow Holmes for leaking the cotton figures to the cotton.gamblers in New York from the agricultural depart- men*. A law to cover such transac tions as that may well be passed, but what is the use revising the criminal ’aw when there is a whole lot of crimi nal l^v on the stai utes today that is not 1 eing enforced by this holier-than- hon Republican administration? If it were enforced there would be no use for the railroad legislation that lie so strenuously asking for, because there is not a single case of railroad discrimination, or rebate that could not be cheated if the law now on tlif books were honestly and vigorously >nforced, and that is abou* the only thing that the people of the country ■ire complaining of. No man, who ’ rows what he is talking about, be lieves tha: the freight rates are too high. They are kicking because some fellow like the Standard Oil Trust or •he Beef Trust is getting cheaper ites than they are. tints putting the rtle follow out of business. Place e; yhody on the same plane and nari.ntcp to every shipper the same • .ues and there will be no need of olacing the rates of the railroad in the hands of a partisan commission that knows no more about making rat s than I do of navigating a ship. Wham’s the use revising criminal laws that are not going to be enforced after • a y are revised? That’s the way the F 'publican party always is pulling ‘he wool over tin* Its leaders clamor and with pass these laws which are to remain dead letters on ’he statutes as have the Sherman anti-trust law and. the Elkins railroad law. The president's demand for all these things that shall be accomplished by the extra session is simply rot. It is a grandstand play to the people. He knows that the extra session can not accomplish anything and that he won’t get what he asks for from the regular session, but it looks well in print to ask for them and then pose as the great champion of the people. His program for he extra session already includes legislation covering federal control of railroad rates and of the insurance business and the Panama Canal. Possibly also tariff revision, if he lias the courage to go against the wishes of the “ stand patters.” Al ready they are *rying to dissuade him. Speaker Cannon is preparing to de scend on Oyster Bay. Senator Cul- lon and others are circulating argu ments through the newspapers. They have driven the president to cover before. Why should they now despair of success? T.ie president star’ed out with a dash and shout to call an extra session iast spring. The politicians saw him and it was postponed until September, then until October and then, fearing ii might interfere with some of the plans of the politicans during the elec- t’on, ne postponed it until after the election, to November 11. If the house organizes its committees by the time the regular session begins in De cember, it will be doing better than it usually does. Mr. Roosevelt has abandoned the substance for the shadow. His special session is a sham and a fraud. If he is playing for another ‘erm, de lay in pressing tariff reform will not strengthen him with the people. Th<- impression had got abroad that he was a fighter, that he never reckoned the odds. "A bully fight” was precise ly wha* he said he liked best. That reputation appealed to the people. His dilatory policy appeals to the po liticians. It fits in with their plans. Not improbably it may strengthen him ’’or renomination. Has he that pur pose in mind? Mr. Roosevelt is the apostle of the strenuous life. There never was a better time to give congress and the country an exhibition of strenuous living. This is the opportunity of his career. The politicians are exulting in the belief that they hold him safe Let him show that he is the champion of the people by demanding that they be relieved from tariff burdens: that the rust of living be lowered; that excessive duties be reduced and un necessary duties be removed. If lie does not do so he displays political cowardice. Ii shows that he is in the hands of the politicians and that all iiis pretty talk is a rank bluff. Evert if he did deman.1 tariff revision it would be tlie rankest kind of bluff, for lie knows full well he would not get it from the gang that will con trol the nex* congress. Why then does he hesitate to maim the demand. Have the politicians of his party got him that badly locoed? Is the people’s idol, after all, just common clay? I would no* be surprised if the true inwardness of this railroad rate regu lation business should come to the front in a short time. Railroad meii. of cours.*, have known what it was all along. The public, however, have been in blissful . ignorance. What makes possible that revelation ’just now is *he fact that Chicago has been forced to show her hand in the littie game the west is playing against the east. Some weeks ago the Cincinnati Board of Trade asked the president to direct Attorney-General Moody to bring proceedings against the South eastern Freight Association, which it is charged, is a combination of the railroads south of the Ohio and east of the Mississippi to control freight rates. But a week ago St. Louis and Chicago were theoretically invited to come in and be parties to this pro-; reeding. That let the cat out. of the bag. For years these three cities have been trying to get from New England and the North Atlantic States, the trade that they have built up in the Southeastern States. The railways feeding the Southeastern States have insisted on fair rate for their haul from the western trading centers. They have been forced to take a lesser rate than the railroads running out of the northwest because they were in direct competition with water routes. The Interstate Commerce Commission has repeatedly decided that this discrimi nation in favor of the northwestern territory was perfectly justified and right liccaii.se of the water competi tion which the railroads had to meet. Now the western trading centers ask that they shall be given the benefit of water competition which does not exist as to them. That is because they want to freeze the northeast out of the trade of the southeast and turn it to the middle west. Its a perfectly proper business scheme, of course. Its a fight between New York and Chicago for the business of the south eastern States. That is the long and short of it, and Chicago is bound *o get it if that is within the range of possibilities. When Chicago sets her mind on anything she hustles. A ra zor-back hog getting away from a rattlesnake is slow as molasses in January by comparison. You don’t see the connection yet. Well it will be plainer when I tell you that Chicago interests and Chica go influences have been back of all this agitation for railway rate control by the government. That has been the gmun.l work f >.* the present pro feeding under the Sherman Anti- Trust Act to compel the railroads south of the Ohio, which are an hide pendent group from those north of that river,.to help Chicago pull her chestnuts out of the fire and give her h • trade she v.ants. Chicago has been back of practically all the agita tion in the west and lias used Govern or LaFollette, Wallace, Hoard and many other agitators as cat's paws, eve n though those estimable ami pre sumably honest gentlemen have not been aware of the fact. But the particular nigger in this woodpile is now uncovered and people generally are now allowed to see him. Before ho gets under cover again every body will have an opportuni'y to dis cover that this whole agitation is in tended by Chicago as a means to stir the people up and help her in her game *o get control of the trade of the southeastern States. Outside of its political aspect it is a fight between communities for busi ness, and the claim that any high moral' principal is involved, so far as the western agitators are concern ed, is all humbug.

Washington, Aug. 21.—Most unique of all money-making schemes which have been recently excluded from the use of the mails is the ‘‘Love Can dy” en‘erprise of the firm of Baker & Smith, of Detroit. Mich., against which a fraud order was issued by the Post.office Department today. Lee L. Baker and Henry G. Smith, who are 20 and 22 years old. respect ively, succeeded in working up a con siderable clientele of youth who loved, but were not loved jn return. It seems that this letter, which fell into the hands of (he postal authorities, caused a brisk demand for their confection ery: "We are not prophets or sons of prophets, neither are we mind readers.

He had an interview with the youthful members of the DetroP firm.! He put them through the third degree, and during the ordeal they udmi’t ■<] i that no special formula was required for the manufacture of love candy.

(Thomas Dixon, Jr., in the September number of The Metropolitian Maga zine.) The Ku Klux Klan was a great Law and Order League of mounted nigh* cavalrymen called into action by the intolerable conditions of a reign of terror under negro rule in the South. It was the answer to their foes of • n indomitable race of men, conquere.i, lie rayed, disarmed and driven to des peration. It was the old answer of organized crime masquerading under the forms of government. Its rise was due to the mind of no leader. It was an accident. It «as a case of spontaneous combustion. A group of college boys at Pulaski. Tenn.. organized i: first as a local col- legi- fraternity. They found a name in the Greek word "Kuklos,” a band, or circle, and to this they added Clan, and then split the germ word into two weird monosyllables, spelling the Clan with a K., to heighten the appeal to the superstitious, and lo, the awe-in spiring ‘‘Ku Klux Klan I" The terror of these silent ghosts, riding in the night, reduced the ne gro race to an immediate and pro found peace. The idea spread to an adjoining county and rapidly over the Stare of Tennessee, which was the first to pass beneath the yoke of ne gro supremacy. In 18(’»7 a secret convention of peace-loving, law-abiding, God-fearing, patriotic Southerners met in Nash ville and organized this society into "The Invisible Empire,” adopted a ritual, and adjourned. They met in t he ruins of an oi l homestead within the picket lines of 35,0)0 troops sent there to enforce Hie rule of the black slave over his former master. The truth of history is. that, as originally organized and led. the Ku Klux Klan was the sole guardian of civilization in the South from 18(17 to 1S7»». and its members were the salt of the earth. Every hope of relief for the South had been crushed. The assassination of Lincoln had so crazed the masses of the North that the Radical wing of he party in power could propose no outrage too monstrous for the con sideration of Congress. Even a bill to tear from the starving Southern people the remnant of their property left by the war and give it to ‘.he ne groes and camp followers of the atyny was Intruduced in the House of Re presentatives by Thatideus Stevens, the responsible leader of the govern .m d. and boldly championed by this gi’eat man with the audacity of ge nius and the fait it of a fanatic. The negro had been made the ruler of his former master, who was dis franchised and disarmed. The handi of the thief and ruffian clutched at every man’s throat. The negro con trolled the State. Their insolence grew apace. Their women were taught to insuit their old mistresses and mock their poverty as they passed in their faded dresses. A black driver in a town near mine, struck a whi*e child of six with a whip, and when the mother protested she was arrest ed by a negroe policeman and fined ten dollars by a negro magistrate for insulting a freedman! A Warning to Mothers. Too much care cannot he used with small children during the hot weather of the summer months to guard against bowel troubles. As a rule it is only necessary to give the child a dose of castor oil to correct any dis order of the bowels. Do not use any substitute, but give the old-fashioned castor oil, and see that it is fresh, as rancid oil nauseates and has a ten dency to gripe. If this does not check the bowels give Chamberlain’s Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and then a dose of castor oil. and the dis ease may be checked in its incipienoy and all danger avoided. The castor oil and this remedy should be pro cured at once and kept ready for in stant use as soon as tho first indica tion of any bowel trouble apnears. This is the most successful treatment known and may he relied upon with implicit confidence even in cases of cholera infantum. For sale by Chero kee Drug Co.
