Hands off the Wool Tariff
What influence the Commercial
Club of Omaha acd its friends have
with the six members of the house
and two senators from JNobraska, was
thrown against any reduction in the
nreseut tariff on wool, whou ihe or
ganization voted unanimously this
week to oppose in every way possible
any move to tamper with the sohed
nleB applying on wool.
As the club hns a membership of
10,000 representatives of the largest
business interests of Nebraska, the
action means tiiat the Nebraska repre
seutatives m congress will be among
tho first to take a firm stand for the
wool growers.
Amainents presented by the Nebras
ka organization are that the wool
growing industry has been fostered in
tne west, where it should be devel
oped and enoouraged, becante of a
just and adequate tariff ; that as a re
suit the percentage of shearing sheep
west of the Mississippi river has been
inoroased from 2(i per cent in 1870, to
73 per cent in 1907 and the figures for
1908 show that 67 per cent of the
shearing sheep of the United States
are now west of the Missouri river.
Attention is also oiled to the fact
that of the 271,351,345 pounds of wool
dipped in the United States, 70 per
cent is produced in tiie states west of
the Missouri river ; that thonsands of
acres of western lands are particularly
adapted to tho sheep and wool indus
try alone and are made valuable be
cause of the present tariff schedules
which make wool growing profitable
and at the same time work a hardship
on neither manufacturer nor consumer
of woolen products.
It.is the duty of every western con
gressman, according to the Omaha
view of the situation, to stand firmly
for the maintenance of the present
schedules on wool and when the sub
ject comes up, as it is anticipated it
will, belore the special sossion in con
gress promised by the now republican
admiuistration, doubtless many other
organizations of similar character
which have the interests of the wool
growers at heart, will have communi
cations before their representatives in
oonqress, urging them to stand up for
the West.
The interoceanio canal proposed at
Panama is apparently again Bottled
and the lock type of cunal is the one
adoptod, favored by the president, tho
president-elect, the distinguished en
gineers who accompanied Mr. Taft
thither and the congressional group
that has recently returnoed from Pan
ama. The party that accompanied
Mr. Joseph Pultizer, editor of the
New York World, lias not yet been
hoard Irom but the tact that the lock
type of canal run be built in half the
time and at a trifle less cost (about
forty millions of dollars,) that it will
atl'ord .between the terminal of the
canal a wide sweet water lake in
which the salt soaked vessels can an
ohor and bo scraped and whore the
largest ships can easily pass each
other aro arguments largely in favor
of the plan adopted. The building of
the usual lias been put oil too long.
If it is to bo done it were well that it
be done quiekly. The Paeitio Coast is
clamoring for a big fleet as a picket
line between San Francisco, Portlaud
and Los Angles on this side and Yo
koliama, Tokio and Osaka on the other
side. It will be much more neoiiom
ical to shiftour fioot from our Atlau-
no luoast to our memo uoraur or
vice versa whou neoessary than to
keep up big naval cstahliHhm9iits ou
both our Eastern and Woiteru lit-
orals.
As long us people North and South
have ancestors and memories the

resentments will survive Thoy will

Why organi.o conventions, nation

HE DOCTOR'S QUESTION
Advice against the Use
of
Harsh Purgatives and
Physics
A doctor's" first qiustion when con
sulted bv a patient is, "are your
bowels regular?" lie knows that
uuiety-eiglii per cent of illness is at
tended with inactive bowels mid tor
pid liver. This condition poisons the
system with noxious gases and waste
matter which naturally accumulates
and which must he removed through
the bowels before health can be re
stored.
Salts, ordinary pills and cathartics
may be truly likened to dynamite.
Through their harsh, irritating action
thoy force a passage through the
bowels, causing pniu and damage to
tho delicate intestinal structure
which weakens the whole system, and
at best ouly produces temporary re
lief. Tho repented use of such treat
ment causes chronic iriita.'ion of the
stomach and bowels, hardens their
tissues, deadens their nerves, BlitlVns
their muscles aud generally brings
ab nit au injurious habit which some
times has fatal results.
