Experience, the Great Educator
has taught us that every man wants to buy as cheaply aa
another. That's Business.
Every man wants to buy of a concern with a reputation
for carrying out its clams and promises. 1 hat's
Confidence.
Every man wants to get value received. That's Satis-

It is the practice of these precepts in season and out of Benaon

SAFEST WITH THE PEOPLE.
The people themselves are the
safest repository of power.
Senators who believe in that fun
damental American doctrine will
! unite to press for a vote on the Cor
liss amendment.
The existing method of electing
United States senators is opposed to
the democratic spirit of our institu
tions. It is based, like the electoral
college, on the federalist theory that
the less direct share the people have
in their own governmnt the better
and safer that government will be.
The experience of the republic dur
ing its whole century and a quarter
of existence demonstrates the falsity
of that theory.
Election of senators by state legis
atures is in principle and practice
government of the masses by the
classes, and everywhere and always
government of the masses by the
classes has resulted in corruption,
special privileges and oppression.
Our method of choosing United
States senators has developed intol
erable abuses. Not only does it tend
to make the senate a house of lords
for the trusts, that is to say, for the
massed wealth of the country which
is influenced neither by the moral
promptings of conscience, nor by a
patriotic sense of public obligation
but it rots the state governments.
One of the first and best effects of
electing senators by the people would
be an elevation of the characters of
state legislatures.
When legislators, as now, are
chosen not with reference to their
fitness for dealing with state needs
but merely as acents for the election
of a senator it Is inevitable that pub
lic business should be badly done.
Every state is familiar with the
spectacle of a legislature neglecting
all its prqper duties and giving its
whole thought to a senatorshlp.
In manv states entire sessions
have been wasted in deadlocks over
the claims of rival senatorial candi
dates, the Btates meanwhile going
without representation in the senate,
a a
Under the system of popular elec
tion we would have an improved son
ate. No doubt attorneys for special
interests would still get in, but not
in such numbers as now. It is in
comparably easier to buy a majority
of a legislature than to buv the ma
jority of the voters of a state.
It 1b contended that popular con
ventions would be as easily Induced
to nominate tools of the corporations
as state legislatures are to elect
them.
The answer to this is that whon a
legislature elects the people are pow
erless, whereas whon a convention
nominates the people can reject the
nominee at the polls.
Direct election of its members
would in no wise alter the senate's
,nce ,n our system of government,
Senators would sorvo for the same
term at 1)resont. aml represent
the sovereignity of thoir states as
vttur
Surely to no true American is thore
legislature. Who afllrms that the
presidency of the United States lias
declined In power and dignity since
the people have reduced the elector-
nl college to a vestigial remnant and
tnUon the president's election into

1,88 amendment will acknowledge

Because the predatory wealth of
the country fears it.
All the trusts are against the
amondment. All the men of mono
who are in the enjoyment of special
nrl villi fTPR like the llleEnlly banded
railroad owners of the coal trust, the.
monopolists of the food trust, tno
freebooters of the Standard Oil
trust and the tariff fattened million
aires of the sugar trust fight
against the Innovation.
The more power the people have
the larger their direct share In the
government, the harder It will be for
"captains of Industry" to procure and
retain the special privileges which
bring them most of their colossal
revenues.
What they dread is legislation by
the people for all the people, instead
of legislation for some of the people.
A senate which can be relied upon
for class legislation, a house of
lords for the trusts, is what the priv
ileged nnd" predatory rich want.
No senator who is not afraid of
the people will vote against the Cor
liss amendment.
But every senator who owes his
seat to purchase with his own money,
or with the money of special interest
desiring an attorney, in the senate
naturally antagonizes the amend
ment. And every aspirant to the senate,
respectful and disreputable alike,
cannot stand out against the popular
will if they are assailed as tney
should be assailed by the senators
who own themselves and who believe
in the right of the people to rule.
No rest should be given to the money-hags
and mossbacks ol the cham
ber. Force them to a votel
The citizens of the United States
should be privileged to say at the
polls whether they want their consti
tution amended or not.
To withhold from that concession
whon through the legislatures of
29 states, by unanimous vote of
the house of representatives and by
every customary channel of public
expression they have demanded it,
is a tyranical and grossly un-American
denial of a fundamental demo
cratic right.
The People and not the Money of
the United States must govern the
republic if the republic is to live.
No house of lords for the trustsl

WRONG ESTIMATION OF MAN.
Nearly every man perhaps every
man is either overrated or under
rated by his neighbors and the
world at large. Barely, if ever, does
public opinion appraiss a man nicely
at his true worth.
m m m
A man's reputation is made not
by the non-partisan observer who
has a fine discriminating judgment
but by enthusiastic panegyrists or de
tainers loud of voice, positive of
manner and quite unscrupulous in
the use of superlatives.
At a certain time of life public
opinion of a man whether the pub
lic be the whole world or only a pre
cinct or parish crystallzes, and for
the remainder of his life he is judg
ed by that opinion. He makes new
acquaintances, year after year, but
they do not appraise him anew. They
accept the general estimate of his
character and worth. Once a man's
fame has crystalized in this way,
he must perform some very remark-
GIRL WOMEN.
The general standard of measurement
for womanhood is "grown-up-ness."
When a girl is emancipated from school
and arrives at the dignity of trailing
skirts and elaborate hair dressing she is
looked upon as
a young woman.
But nature
knows nothing
of such stand
ards. When the
womanly func
tion is establish
ed womanhood
is attained ac
cording to her
standards, a n d
there is need of
womanly care
and caution. It
is girlish ignor
ance or neglect
at this critical
time which often
results in long
years of after
misery.
Mothers who
perceive the evi
dences of func
tional deraime-
uieut in young girls should promptly
have them begin the use of Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. It establishes reg
ularity, tranquilizes the nerves and tones
up the whole system.
"My troubles started during my girlhood,"
writes Mis 1'lora I. Greer, of 107 Howe Street,
Akron, O., "but did not prove serious until 1893.
l'rom that time I did not bee a well day. 1
suffered at every monthly period with terrible
headache, irritation of the npiue ntiti pains in
my heels, I had soreness through ray hips nud
ovaries all the time and constant backache.
One doctor would tell me one thing niled me
another would &iy something altogether ili Her
ein, but they ouly relieved me, f then wrote
you and followed your advice. I took five bottles
of Dr. I'ierce'n Favorite Prescription, four of
'Golden Medical Discovery' end five vials of
' relicts.' Have not had a single symptom of
my old trouble so far. Can sleep good, work
hard, and cat solid and substantial food with
out distress."
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cleanse the
bowels and stimulate the sluggish liver.
