Roosevelt's Annual Message Read Yesterday REPLIES TO CRITICISMS DECLARES COUNTRY'S BUSINESS IS PUNDAiMBNTALLY SOUND AND ASKS FOR COMPLETE PUBLICITY IN EVERYTHING AFFECTING THE PUBLIC. Washington, D. C, Dec. 3.—President Roosevelt today sent his annual message to congress., it is a voluminous document making about thirty ?hou< sand words The president's opening words are an answer to criticism of - his policy towards large corporations which his critics have sought to show are responsible for the recent financial hurry in the country. The fundamental business conditions of the country are sound, the president declares, and it Is foolish for people to withdraw their money from the banks. Moreover, he continues, the business of the people Is conducted with honesty and propriety although in*any large body of men there are certain to be some dshonest, when the misdeeds of -these successfully dishonest men are discovered suffering comes, not only to them, but upon the Innocent men whom they have misled, in an effort to punish the guilty tt Is both wise and proper to endeavor to minimize the distress of those who have been misled but U Is not -possible to refrain because ot such distress from striving to ffit an end to the misdeeds that are the ultimate cause of the suffering snd as a means to this end where possible to punish those responsible for them. "Interstate commerce must be controlled," the president coontlnues, "and only the national government can in thorough going fashion exercise the needed control. This does not mean that there should be any extension bf federal authority, tor an authority already exists under the constitution \iu amplest and most far reaching form, bnt it does mean that there sbpul^ be an extension of federal activity,"the most vital need ts In connection with the railroads. As to these, tn ntf judgment, there should be either y* national corporation act or a law licensing railway companies to engage in Interstate commerce upon certain conditions. The law should be so framed as to give to the interstate commerce commission power to pass upon the future Issue'ot securities, while ample means should be provided to enable the commission, whenever In Its judgment it Is necessary, to make a physical valuation of any railroad. As stated In my message to the congress a year ago, railroads should be given power to enter into agrecmeiu subject to the agreements being made public In minute detail, and the consent of the Interstate commission being first obtained. Until the national government assumes proper control of Interstate commerce In the exercise ot the authority It already possesses It will be Impossible to either give or to get from the railroads full justice. "Moreover In my judgment, thera should be additional legislation looking to proper control of great business concerns engaged In Interstate business, this control to be exercised for their own benefit and property no less than for the protection of investors and of the general public. As I have repeartedly said ln messages to the congress "and. elsewhere, experience has definitely shown, not merely the unwisdom, but the futility of endeavoring to put a stop to all business combinations. Modern Industrial conditions are such that combination la not only necessary,, but Inevitable. It is bo in- the world of business just aa in the world of labor, and it is not my desire to put an end to all corporations, or all big combinations of capital any more than it Is my desire to put an end to oomblnatlons of labor. Corporatou and labor unions alike have come to stay. Bach If properly managed Is a sources of good and not evil. "The antl-tnwt law, should not be repealed, but lt should be made both more efficient and In harmony with actual conditions. .It should be amended to forbid only the kind of combination which does harm to the general Public, such amendment to be accompanied by, or to be an Incident of, a grant of supervisory *ower to the gov- ..•rnment over these big concerns engaged In Interstate business. This should be accompanied by provision for the compulsory publication of accounts and the subjection of books and papers t« the Inspection of th»-government •fHclnts. A beginning has already been Bade tor such supervision by the <*• tabllahment of tbe bureau of corporations . v. - "The design should be to prevent the . abuses incident to the creation of unhealthy and improper combinations in. •lead of waiting until they are ln ex- stence, and then attempting to dwtroy t»etn by civil or criminal proceedings' "A combination should not be tolerated If it abuse the power acquired by combination, to the .public detriment. No corporation or association •Tany'klnd'should be permitted to en gage In foreign or interstate commerce that Is formed for the purpose of, or whose operations create a monopoly or a general control of, the production, sale or distribution of any one or more of the prltfce necessities of life or more tides of general use of necessity. . "Suoh corporations are against public policy, tbo violation of the common laW, the doors of the courts are closed to those who are parties to them, aud I believe that congress can close the channels of interstate commerce against them for lta protection. Reasonable agreements, between, or combinations uf corporations -hou d be permitted, provided they ale first submitted to and approved by some appropriate government body. "Provision should also be made for complete publicity In all matters atteot'ng the public and complete protection to the in- Vesting public and the shareholders In the matter of Issuing corporation securities. Those who fear, from any reason, the extension of federal Activity wll^ do well to study the history, not only of the national banking act, but or the pure food law," and notably the ment Inspection law recently enacted The pure food law was opposed «o violently that Its passage was delayed for a decade, yet it has worked immedlhte good "In my message to congress a year ago I especla'Iy called your attention to the condition of onr currency laws I aga'n. urge on congtess the need of immediate attention to this matter We need a greater elasticity In our currency, provided, of course, that we recogn'se the even greater need of a safe and secure currency There must be rigid examination by the national authorities. Provision should be made for an emergency currency The emergency Issue should, of course, be made for an effective guaranty nnd upon conditions carefully prescribed by the government. Such emergency issue must be based on adequate securities; approved by the government, and must ''0 Issued under a heavy tax This would permit currency being Issued when tbe demand for it was urgent, while securing Uy retlrem.nt as tho demand fell off. The tariff of this count'y Is definitely committed to the protective system and any effort to uproot it cou'd not bnt cause widespread Industrial disaster in. other words the principle of the present tariff law could not with wisdom be changed. But In a country of such phenomenal growth as ours, it Is probably well that every dozen years or so the tariff laws should be carefu-ly scrutinized so as to see that no excessive or Improper benefits are conferred thereby', that proper revenue Is provided and that our foreign trade ls encouraged. "The question shou'd be approached from a business standpoint, but th** time and mariner of the change being such as to 1 arouse the minimum agitation and disturbance In the business world and to give the least play for selfish and factional motives Injunctions—Instances of abuse In the granting of Injunctions in labor disputes continue to occur and the resentment in the minds of those who feel that their rights are being Invaded and their liberty restrained, continues likewise to grow. Much of the attack on the use of the pro- cuss of injunction Is wholly without warrant, but I um constrained to express the belief thut for some of it there Is warrant I earnest'y recommend to the attention of congress this matter so that some way may be devised which will limit the abuse of Injunctions and protect those rights ..which from tint- lu tluu_ tiiey unwarrantable invade "The loss of lite and limb from railway accidents In this country, has become appalling It is a subject of which the national government should take notice It might be well to begin' by providing for a federal inspection of Interstate railroads. "Congress -hould consider tht- extension of the eight hour law The general Introduction of the eight hour' ' should be thu goal towards which congress should try and tend, and the government should set the example in this respect Stiikes and lockouts with their attendant awl.-.- and suffering, continue to Increase For the five years ending Dec 31, INK, the number of strikes wus greater than thos. In any preceding ten years, und was just double the number In the preceding five yfiars. These figures Ind'cate the Increasing need of providing some machinery to deal with tbls clans of disturbances In the Interest of tbe employer, the employee and the general public I renew my previous recommendation that congress favorably consider,the matter of creating machinery for compulsory Investigation of such Indus ti lal controversy of sufficient magnitude to -v.imini the fed. ral government In taking action. "There should be no turiff ou nny forest product In this country and, ospeola'ly, trere should be no tariff on wood pulp, due notice of the change, being of counte, g'ven to those engaged in the business, so as to enable them to adjust themselves to the haw conditions Tho repeal of the duty on wood pulp should, If po-tfble, .,.• accompanied by an agreement With Canada; there should be no export duty on Cannda wood pulp Mlnlng-A bureau of min. . should be*| created under the control of snd direction of the secretary of the Interior ,the bureau to have power to co leet atat'sttos and make Investigations In all matters pertaining to mining and particularly to the accidents and dangers of tbs industry." ATTEMPTED MURDER. Daysand. Alta., Dec. 3.-Caas. gan- derlln, a homesteader near here, haa been committed for trial on a charge of attempted murder. He tamed his wife out of doors very faintly clad and his brother wrapped * fur coat about the woman and took ber to bis own shack. Sanderlin followed and fired several shots through the door of the shack. The .prisoner haa been taken to Fort Saskatchewan to'await trial. REGAIUOKI Japanese Ambassador Returns to Tokio HAS PRAG-FUL INTENTION MIKADO WILL SEND ANOTHER REPRESENTATIVE TO WASHINGTON— PROTESTATIONS OP UNABATED FRIENDLINESS TO UNITED STATES. ^ , Washington, Dec 3-VIscount Aokl, tho ambassador of Japan, talked briefly and reservedly today, regarding the Instructions given him by bis government, to return home for the purpose of making a report on affairs with which japan is Interested Jointly with, the United States. The ambassador this evening received a representative of the Associated Press and appeared to be ln a cheerful mood. "I am going home," the ambassador said, "for the purpsoe of making a verba.if It- port to my government There are many things to report. Many things that I have heard and seen in this country They can be reported verbally better than In writing. There Is no other significance to the visit. I sha 1 discuss Immigration In addition to other questions with which my government Is Interested My return cannot be constructed in any way as an in- dlcstlon of unfriendliness on the part of Japan for the United States. The American government knows well that Japan fs disposed to be one of her best friends and to remain on the terms of the greatest amity with her Any other Idea of the subject Is foolish to entertain Tbe question of the adjustment of the immigration difficulty Is not at all a source of trouble and In my judgment it will be settled satisfactorily, My return, I repeat, lias no bearing on the relations between the United Stales and Japan. OUr je'atlonts are friendly and I hope will remain the same. There Is no season why they should be othorwise, but on the contrary, every reason why they should continue good." •'How long will you remain In Japan?" "That I do not know." "Are you coming back?" was asked. "That T do not know," replied the count. TO OUST WHITE UBOR DETAILS OP DUNSMUIR AND C. P. R. CONTRACTS. WOULD HAVE FLOODED PROVINCE WITH COOLIES From the Vancouver News-Adver- tisler'a report of the closing proceeding1* beiolre the Asiatic immigration commission is reproduced, a more detailed statement that that published in theae columns last Sunday morning of the disclosures anent the contracts entered into by lieutenant-governor Dunsmuir and the C. P. R. for the wholesale importation of ►heap Japanese lalwr into this province. The terms of Cuns- mulr's contract with the Japanese agency Indicate clearly hts contempt for the laws of tne province aud it public opinion and by the provrsions of the C. P. R. contract all maintenance of way work on the western lines of the railroad corporation would surely have passed into the hands of Japanese coolies had it been possible for the Nippon Supply company to have fulfilled its part. The gravity ot the conditions the consummation of the Dunsmuir and C. P. R. contracts would have created cannot be overestimated and lt Is abundantly clear that legislation must be enacted that will prevent the big corporations from flooding this province with Asiatics whenever they feel so disposed. The News-Advertiser report reads as follows: The agreements with the' colliery company bore the signature of lion James Dunsmuir, lieutenant-governor of the province, and H. Morris Hills, secretary of the Wellington Colliery company, while that with the CT P. R. company was signed by F. F. Bus- teed and Alan Purvis The agreement dated .The Slst of January, 1907, between the Wellington Colliery company on the one part and the Canadian Nippon Supply company on the second part, provided that the Supply company will within the next four months supply the Colliery company with some 600 Japanese conf miners of requisite skill, phyalque'aml efficiency for the working of the colliery for a period of five years, and the Colliery oompany will employ such miners as-long aa the mines are being worked on the terms hereinafter mentioned. How many should be common laborers, how many miners and how many mouMers was next given, and the provlsj) that If any legislation was passed which would prevent complying with the terms of the agreement, neither party should be liable to the other for the damage sustained. The Colliery company to pay over the wages to the Supply oompany and the Supply company to pay the same to the miners and Indemnify the oompany for any proceedlnn, claims or demands against them. The 'Supply company also to , keep proper hooka of accounts, payrolls, etc. The scale of wagea payable to such miners and which were to be paid to the Supply company were to be as follows: Common laborers, third clase, |1.36i second class, $1.46, first class, $1.56. Moulders, machinists, carpenters and miners, $1,60 to $1.90, payable for every day of eight hours under ground and ten hours above ground. The Colliery company was not to employ any Japanese miners during the continuance of this contract except in such case where the Supply company failed to supply the men. The Colliery company was to do all In Its power to protect Its miners from attack and furnish suitable police supervision In their behalf. In the event of any strike taking place, the Supply company was to use Hs utmost endeavors to prevent its miners joining the same, and in case they did strike, the Colliery company was to be at liberty to terminate the agreement. This agreement was to remain 1n force for Ave years, except' after sixty days' notice on the part of one of the par. ties of Its desire to terminate It. Gotoh's negotiations with the Colliery company fell through and the agreement did not take effect. The Nippon company has a similar agreement with the C. P. R. which holds good from 1907 to 1912 and which had been drawn up on June 1. There was a scale of wages mentioned in the agreement. The men were to receive $1.65 per day tor those on extra gangs, while $1.35 to $1.50 was to be paid to men on section gangs. The company reserved the right to terminate the agreement. The contractors were to have charge of all men and to he held responsible. Each year the company was to furnish the contractors with an estimate of the number ot men that would be required. If the contractors were unable to supply '.he number asked for the company reserved the right to employ others. On April 15 ot the present year the company had advised the contractor that from 500 to 2,009 would be required this year. Cross-examined by Mr. Wilson, the witness said tbat when the Nippon Supply company was organized he transferred all his business with the C. P. R. to the company. He has given employment to about 1,400 men here this year, but no laborers had been brought here by the company. WESTMONT MINING CO. FRANK GRIFFITH'S LONG FIGHT IS SUCCSfiWUL. SLOCAN PROPERTY LIKELY TO BE LARGELY DEVELOPED. (Special to The Dally News) Slocan, Dec. 3.—Frank unffuns, ons of the owners ot the WeBtmont, on Twelve Mile, was lately called to Toronto and In company with Ellis, of Toronto, the other owner of the property, has put through a deal, by which the Westmont has been acquired by the Westmont Silver Mining Co,, which company has been formed Ior the Purpose of working the mine. The formation of the company, with the strong likelihood of development on a large scale, is the successful culmination ot a long and courageous struggle, Mr. Griffiths having worked the property single-handed for fifteen years. The property is now and has been for some time, a shipper, and will very probably become a leading mine, under new and more extensive working. If such grit were shown by more Slocan prospectors we would probably have prosperity Instead of stagnation. Only yeBterday the quarters at the Westmont, where several men were working, caught flre and were destroyr ed together with the winter supplies and blankets and clothes of the men.

L. COCKSHUTT REPLIES. (Special to The Dallv News) Ottawa, Dec. 3.—A number of measures the mapirty of wnich are familiar In past sessions were introduced today before proceeding wltb 'the deate on the address, among them being Turriff's proposed amendment to the railway act. Turriff said that in the past icharters were secured Iby dozens oi] companies who had no Intention of construction but who would build n mile or so and then apply tor an extension at the end ot Ave years and secure it without much trouble, thereby preventing companies that msap business from getting charters; Lancaster's bill to prevent trains running at high speed through towns and villages; Monck has reintroduced his bill aiming at the establishment of a system of co-operative Industrial societies, In favor of which a special committee reported last session. In reply ft a question the mlnfEler of finance said that the report of the royal commission on the civil service would probably be made to the home before the Christmas vacation. Hon. W. S. Fielding opened the de- bate by declaring cabinet appointments to be a matter for the .premier except tor the regular parliamentary explanations, and pointed out In choosing a leader many promlneut (conservatives had been passed over. Passlng.to surpasses he said the conservatives bad surplusses totalling nine and a halfl millions and deficits totalling $12,330,- OOu or average annual deficits of $745,- 000. The liberals gross surplusse's were ninety-four millions and one deficit of five hundred and nineteen thousand, or a net surplus of $93,600,000. The conservatives had special and capital expenditures ot eighty millions and had added sixty-two millions to the public debt. The liberals' special and capital expenditures were twenty-seven million and they had Increased .the public debt five millions. If conserva7 fives were not satisfied why did they not move for a change of tariff. Speaking of Borden's western tour he asked to what tariff was he committed? Borden—"I spoke on that." Fielding—"For or against protection?" uorden—"I declared the highest 'tribute ever pafd any government was the adoption of the national policy by the liberals. Fielding admitted-the protective ele- mout in tbe present platform but declared the Ottawa platform of 1893 wus still the guiding star of the party. After defending the government against the charge of the inadequacy of the postal service Fielding condemned Borden for re-opening the question of provincial subsidies for that question was closed, as far as parliament was concerned and It was a violation of the principles of statesmanship to' projiose to re-open it. Premier McBrlde came to the provincial conference not to get a subsidy but to get a grievance adjusted. Borden Interrupted to point out tbat New Brunswick and Novj Scotia had commissioners of arbitration. Fielding replied that these were monetary claims for property while the other was only a grievance pure and simple. Borden—"I do not see the difference, merely money claims on each side." Continuing Fielding, referring to the electoral corruption, said the records of each party since confederation were almost parallel. The balance was ot the side of one of the two but he was not certain which side It was on; many eminent and respectable men had been guilty of foolish, corrupt and improper things in matters electoral but the conservatives had no right to pose as the party of purity .and he did not seo any sign of change ln the Colchestefl ele$1on. The only dissatisfaction! found ln Nova Scotia was on account of economy on the Intercolonial. Replying, W. L. Cockshutt thougbt tbe country expects, in view of the serious financial situation, something else than a speech marked with levity and dealing with everything but tha financial conditions. Trade figures were not reassuring. Canada had bought $121,000,000 more than ahe bad •old. They were on the hill of prosperity for some years and were etill on it but unfortunately, on a tooggan descending fast Cockshutt took • gloomy view of the outlook of workmen who In hundreds were walking the Btreets. Destitution had already commenced In Toronto. Tbe government must rearrange tha tariff no that Imports and exports more closely correspond. The United States contrived that the balance was always in their favor and that there waa no reason why Canada should not do the same. He declared tnat the lime would come when finan cial institutions would be able to do more for the minister ot finance than the minister could do for them. He declared further that the Imperial conference was a failure and proposed that the government collect duty on British goods and donate preferences as Canada's sbajre ot imperial defence. He was not hopeful ot tBe French treaty and concluded by moving ' an amengnent to the address regretting the financial stringency nnd deploring the reckless extravagance of the Laurier government'' which materially contributed, and especially the present increase of taxation, taking money from people's pockets, thus weakening the financial structure. IS NO LIMBER COMBINE FIND-NO OF OBIBF JUSTICE SIFTON AT EDMONTON RETAILER CLARK FOUND GUILTY OF CONSPIRACY W. A, Anstle, (secretary of the Mountain Lumbermens" association, has returned from Edmonton where he has been attending as a witness -the trial of Vf. H. Clark, president of the Alberta Retail Dealers' association, in conspiracy In restraint of trade. Chief justice Sifton, in handing in his Judgment said that so far as the relation between the Alberta Retailers' a&aocla tlon and the Mountain lumber manm|ic- turers were concerned, there was no evidence to hold the defendant guilty on that indictment. His lordship decided, however, that Mr. Clark waa guilty, with other retailers, of conspiring to control the lumber trade of Alberta and Imposed a fine of $500. The count on the Indictment on which the decision of the court Is founded charged thnt "W. H. Clark did conspire with others or some of them to unduly prevent or lessen competition in the production, manufacture, purchase, barter, ea et transportation or supply of an article which may be a subject of trade or commerce, to wit, lumber, and did thereby commit nn indictabe offence contrary to the criminal code, section 498.". The finding of the court will be a bitter disappointment to the Alberta retailers, who contend that they have done nothing unlawful in the protection of their Interests and in the endeavor to obtain a fair profit ln 'handling lumber. In commenting upon his lordship's decision, Mr. Anstle said that manufacturers would find it difficult to understand how Alberta retailers can have "unreasonably restricted competition," when anyone with re.(ulslte financial' standing could embark in the retail lumber business upon making hts wishes known to the mills. It Is true that different individual have been refused lumber by the mountain mills, but the reason has always been that the applicant had not satisfactory rat!ng, or was not a regular retailer. Financial standing Ls absolutely the only condition thnt mil s require established by persons app'y'ng to purchnse lumber, provid'_i of course that it Is -understood that mills generally are oppo-ed to tho shipping of their product to the consumer direct, antl endeavor to protect the retail trade by confining shipments to legitimate retailers only. By "legitimate retailers;' must not be taken to mean members of any association, as has been so wldty alleged, but the term implies one who carries a general yard stock of lumber, commensurate wilh the needs of the locality in which he Is doing business. It is the refusal of mils to ship lumber to contractors nnd other consumers direct, as well as to some person wanting to start yards on n shoe string basis, that has given ground or the allegations that there was a combination existing between the manufacturers and the retailers, to confine the lumber trnde to those nlready established in business and members of tho retailers association . Thi. charge is «b- eo'utety false nnd most unfair to the man. faeturers Despite the sworn testimony of many witnesses to the contrary and my own statement giving a list of some 18 or 30 non-membem of the retailers* association, to whom we have sold lumber. Tho deputy attorney general, who conducted the prosecution, tn h's final argument strenuously endeavored to> establish the faot thnt tt was n sine qua non to obtain supplies of lumber from mountain mills that membership ust be taken in the retainers' association. The learned judge however, apparently nb'e to nnprec'a'e that the fnots were according to our ^presentations. Manufacturers Instcnd of placing ob- sinr.es in their wny would welcome the opening of strong rctnil yards nl nny point where there Is business to be done to justify It nnd it Is immaterial/.nd decidedly a matter of no consequence to us whether retaPer*. belong to the Alberta or any other .-tat'em1 association.

In effect, the granting of the request to be preferred by the 20,000 club simply amounts to the establishment of aa additional civic department, to be known as the publicity and Information bureau, along lines to be approved by the city council and, to a very large extent, if not entirely, under the control of the council. If the city of Nelson ls to keep la the forefront of the fight for population and for recognition by those seeking Investments or to establish new industries, lt must carry on a publicity campaign of some kind and the new council could not very well do better than to facilitate and ensure the carrying on of the work begun by the 20,000 club. EDITORIAL NOTES. Finance minister Fielding has made a statement to the Montreal Herald's Ottawa correspondent on the recent effort ot the government to stimulate the activity ot the Canadian banks to finance the grain crop on Its way to market. He also Intimated that the government does not owe the Sank of Montreal almost five million dollars, as thai obligation has come to It through the Quebec Bridge company. "On the whole question of the financial stringency," continued Mr. Fielding, "many foolish things have been said. Some of the criticisms offered are'so manifestly ftbsurd and partisan that they do not call for any notice. On one point, however, I shall be glad if you will correct an error which Is abroad. "I have been informed that tn some financial circles it has been freely! stated that the government has been borrowing largely from the banks ia Canada and that this Is the explanation of the tightness of money. This ls an entire mistake. The government bave not for many years borrowed a dollar from any bank ln Canada." Perusal of the fuller details of the contracts entered1 Into hy lieuDenant- governor Dunsmuir and the C. P. R. for the wholesale Importation of Japanese laborers makes clearer the enormity of the attempted outrage against the spirit ot the legislation and the avowed policies of both the provincial and federal governments. It Is inconceivable that either government will quietly tolerate thla Impudent defiance of public opinion. Amendments to. ex isting legislation muet be passed as quickly as possible to guard .against the recurrence of any similar attempts upon the part of lawless corporations and government officials. With regard to the conduct of lieutenant-governor Dunsmuir we are ot the opinion that lt should form the subject of a special investigation and falling the production ot evidence placing aa entirely different light upon hie conduct than now appears possible, he should be summarily dismissed trom office.

BURNS' VICTORY. Canadian Boxer Not popular in London—press Comment. New York, Dec. 8.—Although they give him all the credit for defeating "Gunner" Molr ln the heavy weight battle In London last night the English press is not at all pleased at the victory won by Tommy Burns, according to the extracts from the English papers cabled here early this morning. Tht English believe Burns to be an American, while as a matter of fact he is a Canadian. Burns wanted to make a speech at the ring of the National Sporting club for the purpose of explaining his nationality, but be was hissed ' down. Burns had all the best ot the fight, as ls admitted by the Sportsman, which says that Molr was badly left off without a mark, not even the parting ol his hair was disarranged. Continuing, the same p__per says: "It was not the fault of Bums that the splendid crowd that filled the Nat(ona) club in every part had to sit out such a disappointing show. Molr Ib the man to blame. It Is not our policy to go back on a loser, but Molr was absolutely painful. He went Into the ring a model, well trained man, evidently as hard as a board and with a pull ot over a stone In weight and the advantage ot over two and a half Inches ln height, yet his blows lacked the power of a feather weight. He was uncertain and ill at ease from the outset. Indeed, his nervousness was so apparent that even' Burns could not help smiling. Though outclassed generally Molr seemed Incapable ot altering his method. He was thrown off his guard by the wllj man In front and eo worried by his seconds that he appeared altogether at a loss as to what to do. We on this side did not see the best of Burns tor Moir could not extend himself an Inch. Tbe winner has a nasty habit of boxing in with his neck on the cheek of his opponent. Under the moBt favorable condition, however, Molr could never hope to make any show vrith Burns, who will, despite the disappointing display given by his opponent last nigh!, experience very little If anV trouble In beating any wEo may be put up against him on this side of the Atlantic."

This Is a message that will bring happiness again into many (amines and sunshine Into the lives ot hundreds of disheartened and discouraged men and women here. It requires lust a little inconvenience, for lt can't be bought already prepared. It ls a simple home recipe now being made known ln all the larger cities through the newspapers. It is Intended US check the many cases of rheumatism, kidney and bladder trouble which have made so many cripples and invalids and weaklings of some of our brightest and strongest people. The druggists here have been notified to supply themselves with the Ingredients, and the sufferer will have no trouble to obtain them. The prescription Is as follows Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce, and Compound Syrup of Sarsaparilla three ounces. Mix by shaking well In a bottle. The dose ls one teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime. Recent experiments, even In severe hospital cases, prove this simple mixture the remedy for Rheumatism, because ot its positive action upon the ellminatlve tissues ot the kidneys. It compels these most vital organs to Alter' from the blood and system the waste impurities and uric acid which are the cause ot rheumatism. It cleanses the kidneys, strengthens them and removes quickly such symptoms as backache, blood disorders, bladder weakness, frequent urination, painful, scalding and discolored urine. It acts as a powerful stimulant to the entire kidney and bladder structure, puts new lite into them and Invigorates tlie entire tract It makes the kidneys clean the blood. The Dandelion will take care ot liver trouble and constipation, and ls flue for the stomach. AH the ingredients, states a well- known local druggist, are of vegetable extraction, making It .a safe and harmless prescription at any time. Those who suffer and are accustomed to purchase a bottle of patent medicine should not let a little Inconvenience Interfere with making up this prescription. Wherever this becomes generally known, states a Targe eastern publication, it ruins the sale of the patent medicines and so-called rheumatism and kidney cures, which ls its best endorsement of virtue.

According to Franklin, the "road to market" was "plain" even more than a century ago. The years have brought a succession of improved methods of travelling on this same old road, however; and now tho former weary time and distance have been almost obliterated. Just steam and electricity have shortened the distance between London and Lvierpool, Paris and Marseille, New York and Chicago, so bas Newspaper Publicity shortened the distance between YOUR MARKET and YOU. You can still travel from one city to another by ox-team, and havo a fair chance of reaching your destination SOMETIME. But you would not willingly choose the ox-team for a thousand-mile trip if a fast express train were available I So it is in travelling on this "road to market!" You might find your market SOMETIME by using the ox-cart sort of pub- licityj—the poster anld sign-board sort; but why not eliminate time and distance and annoyanco and disappointments by tak- ig the fast express to YOUR MARKET—wliich is typified by modern, aggrcssivo and adequate newspaper advertising.
