Municipalities, like individuals, have a limit of responsibility in money matters that may not be transcended, and the hour for. business reflection al ways arrives. We are not setting the hour; though we might do so with perfect justice to the city and our selves, but we are going on record with a suggestion that may well be heeded; that is, for the present ad ministration, its successors, and the property-owners of the city, to have a care of the lengths to which the public credit is carried, from this time on. It is not necessary to array the figures that prompt this hint they are well known where they will assen themselves at the hour mentioned, and while there is no cause for anx iety at the moment, the danger lina may heave in sight at any time, and we should be prepared to avoid it . with honor and safety. There are people who do not know known quantity, an immeasurable force, a startling and revolutionary element, that but few men know how 1 to handle. When men begin to realize how supremely honest Theodore Roose velt is, and has always been, they will begin to know how to fight him with some degree of possible success. And William H. Taft is his counter-part, or Roosevelt would not be behind him. TARIFF REVISION. A business panic is a good deal like) a freshet sweeping through a town and raising the water of brook or river to a destructive height. Such a freshet can not always be foreseen or provided against successfully; but what would be thought of a man who should propose that, because water had risen over a dam it should be cut down or removed? That is the Dem ocratic idea of tariff revision. We havehad business troubles in the great centres the business, that of banking, having no sort of connection with the tariff and these troubles have led to financial stringency and loss of employment for a large num ber of workers. The Democratic remedy for this is to make things far worse by desrtoying, under cover of revising, the very system on which I American industries have been built a danger line wnen tney see it; wno i are reckless of all warnings; who see UP and ehshed, and thereby mak ortly their especial interests in the ing 11 far m0re difficult' ,f not imP0S schemes of the hour and care for no thing else so long as they are achiev ed; to whom it is useless to plead fo the abatement of public expenditures, since public expenditure and private gain are to them synonymous terms. But to those who have the broader concern of the general public at heart, as well as their own particular share in both the extravagance and econo my of the day and place, we insist upon urging the question that is used as a caption hereto. ROOSEVELT, THE POLITICIAN. Whether it be right, or wrong, for the President of the United States to take deep interest and personal part in the nomination and election of his successor, is a finely drawn is- sible, for the workless to get work, The Republican plan is to revise the tariff with due "regard for the protec tion of American industrial interests and with a view to help the workless to get work, instead of making their condition hopeless, as it would be under the Bryan-Democratic scheme of "a tariff for revenue only." Ameri can worker which plan do you prefer? In his campaign tour Gov. Hughes will not give much attention to Ore gon. The Republican opportunity in this state, is well understood by in telligent policitians. Bryan's speeches of 1896 were not canned nor preserved in phonogra phic form, but their author was pick- sue we are willing to leave to those A , ,. . . e ti . . . . f . . 1 tablishments on Salt Creek, who have the habit of solving the delicate problems of the day. In the rush of activities, as they confront us and engage our interest, we have no time to waste in weighing such questions. We have always contended that Mr. xuUScvC unc ui uic mu3l nuie T American fieet will not he politicians of the country and we are hom, or thfi ft wm fe Russia has planned a special agency to study agriculture in this country, which shows that the czar knows how to make a wise selection after looking over the field. not surprised at his pronounced con cern and participation in the cam paign of his party and of his Fidus Achates'; that he is cutting to the very quick of the nerves and delicate sensibilities of the Democratic charn- pion, and keeping him interminably and unsuccessfully, on the, defensive, is but parcel of his equipment and method. He' has a fashion of know ing exactly what he is talking about " that has staggered more men than Mr. Bryan. He does not move until he is certain of his premises, and to this impregnable course he owes his tremendous success in administrative direction and establishment and his political achievements. It would seem, by this time, that the country, and especially those whose business it is to fight this man, should know who and what they are up against, 'first and last; and since they will not learn the lesson as it has been dealt out to others, they must go in and take what is coming to them, of their own volition. Roose velt is no saint, no hide-bound model, no impeccable, nor ultra, example of manhood or citizenship; he is simply an honest man in a place where his honesty is apparent to all men, and frightfully inconvenient to very many: for in this day' of lax morality in pub lic, and quasi-public, life, the honest man is a fearsome thing; he is an un- turn in time to participate in the in auguration of the new- president and to revive the popular interest in a bigger and better navy. Gov. Haskell is Mr. Bryan's na tional treasurer, but not necessarily slated now to be secretary of the trea sury, in the Bryan cabinet. Mean while, the farmers are still holding back with their $100 bills. ...Clothing, Furnishings and Shoes Has Begun The WorMng men's Store , ... .,; i - .1 f'v .

There are many readers of the As torian who are suffering frcm catarrh, either nasal or bronchial. Many of these despair of ever being cured. They have soaked their stqmachs with nostrums until they are disgusted witn all medicines, and are now traveling their miserable way, allowing the devilish germs of catarrh to sap them of their health, energy and vitality. But let us reason together. T. F. Laurin, the druggist, has a guaranteed remedy for catarrh, and all inflamma tory diseases of the nose, throat and bronchial tubes. The name of this remarkable remedy is Hyomei, and if it doesn't cure T. F. Laurin will give you your money back. Hyomei (pronounced High-o-me) is medicated air; you just brethe it through the inhaler over the inflamed and germ ridden membrane, and its soothing antiseptic properties will allay the inflammation, destroy the germs, and restore the entire respi ratory tract to its normal conditions. A complete Hyomei outfit, includ ing a hard rubber inhaler, costs, but $1.00, and an extra bottle of Hyomei, if afterwards needed, costs but 50 cents. See T. F. Laurin about it today. A SURPRISED MINISTER. Hyomei Cured Bronchial Catarrh Af ter he Had Given up in Despair. "For many years I have been a suf ferer from bronchial catarrh, and had despaired of anything like a cure. Judge of my pleasant surprise when I first used Hyomei, which brought complete relief. Hyomei has been a veritable godsend." Rev. Charles Hartley, Sardinia, Ohio.

Why Colds Are Dangerous. i Because you have contracted ordi-1 nary colds and recovered from them without treatment of any kind, do not for a moment imagine that colds are not dangerous. Everyone knows i that pneumonia and chronic catarrh have their origin in a common cold. Consumution is not caused by a cold 'but the cold prepares the system for the reception and development of the germs that would not otherwise have found lodgment. It is the same with all infectious diseases. Diph theria, scarlet fever, measles and whooping cough are much more like ly to be contracted when the child has a cold. You will see from this that more real danger lurks in a cold than in any other of the common ail ments. The easiest and quickest way to cure a cold is to take Chamber lain's Cough Rcenidy. The many re markable cures effected by this prep--aration have made it a staple article of trade over a large part of the world. For sale by Frank Hart and leading druggists.
