Official Paper Village of Bem_idii SUBSCRIPTION $5 PER YEAR Merger Busting. We have succeeded in putting the Northern Securities company out of business and some of us are tickled to death when we think of how we have busted the merger. Some of us are think- ing of having the fact graven on our monuments. Meanwhile the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific are as much under one management and one control as eyer and the news dispatches of yesterday tell us that a merger embracing practically all the northwestern roads is about to bs launched. The Great Northern, the North. ern Pacific, the Union Pacific, the Milwaukee, the Northwesternand the Burlingtonarein it. Each road will appear to be a separate or- ganization, all six will in fact be one system, dominated by one mind and existing for one pur~ pose—that of wringing every dollar possible from the people. Yet we brag of our merger busting, It is high time we quit being so silly. The merger is an actual fact and all our efforts have not busted it one little bit. The mer- ger is an industrial development. We can’t bust it, but we can con- trol it, and it is time we admitt- ed these facts and set about con- sidering what is to be done about it. Cut Out The Machinery. It is suggested that non par- tizan judges may be secured by making it possible for anyone to becomea candidate for election as judge upon petition of five or ten per cent of the voting popula- tion of the district, such person’s name to be thereupon placed up- on the election ballot without party designat;iou. If we are going to continue the primary law why not apply this principle to every office? Party lines are utterly broken down by the primary election principle; everybody votes at the primary election. Why should there be two elections? Why not putany man’s name on the ticket, pro- vided he can secure a petition signed by say five per cent of the legal voters, and let the best man win? Why not? The benefits would be many. The uproar and expense of two elections would be cutin half as would be the disturbance to busi- ness. If the primary law isa good thing, this would be a bet- ter, for party would then count for nothing and the man for everything. We are going todo without political parties anyhow —why should we have two elec- tions. How do you like the sugges- tion? THE times are full of trouble for the republican party in the nation. It appears that the lead- ers are opposed to about every- thing that President Roosevelt wants and it seems to be a cou- test between the president and the people on one side and the republican leaders and the trusts on the other. s “THE proposition to make the term of office of the county superintendent of schools foar years and at the same time to require him to hold at least a first grade certificate is a goed one.

The cough is only a symptom of some disease, and the disease is what you should cure, then the cough will stop it- self. The most common cause of coughing is a cold. Anodynes will promptly suppress the cough and preparations containing chloroform, opium, etc., are used for that purpose, but they do not cure the cold. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy on the other hand does not suppress the cough, but relieves it by removing from the throat and lungs the mucus which obstructed the breathing and allaying the irritation and tickling in the throat. It also opens the secretions and effectu- ally and permanently cures the cold as well as the cough. For sale by Barker’s Drug store. *“YOUR MONEY IS be comforted.
