His stomach would not bear food, and consequently he got no nourishment and was slowly dying from exhaustion, He was reduced to akin and bones. I immediately pat bim on Grape-Nuts food apd Postum Cereal Food Coffee; he could keep both articles on his stomach and neither caused him any pain. He has been using both the food and the cereal coffee, and has gained so rapidly that I feel be will be out of bed in about a week." Dr. C. Leatwetn. The reason a delicate stomach can take Grape- Nuts food is that it te predigested by natural means during its preparation, and even a small babe can bardle it, as It causes no heavy work by the stom- ach and digestive apparatus. On the contrary, be- ing predigested, it is quickly assimilated into blood and tissue. ‘The food, as well as the Postum Food Coffee, con- tains elements selected from the grains of the fleld that are of first importance to the human body in nourishing apd rebuilding it.

Senator Beveridge on Porto Rican Measure, ARDENTLY IN FAVOR OF FREE TRADE Believes Is'and’s Need of Civil Gov- ernment Paramount. AMERICA’S RESPONSIBILITIES Senator Beveridge of Indiana today deliv- ered a speech’ in the Senate on the foreign policy of the United States. His address was a plea for the free hand in dealing with newly acquired possessions and against any strict construction of the Constitution which does not allow the real genius of the people an opportunity for action, applying to dif- fering conditions differing forms of gov- ernment. He favored free trade with Porto Rico. His address throughout gave evi- dences of the greatest care in its prepara- tion and it was filled with epigrammatical expressions. “The issue joined in this debate,” he sald, “involves the power of Congress over the islands and the peoples which Providence has placed in our keeping, and therefore the expediency of retaining them. It involves the power and progress of the republic throughout all its future. For if Congress has not a free hand to deal with these is- lands as their different conditions and changing needs demand, it is not only in- expedient, but it may be impossible, to hold them. To treat Porto Rico as we treat Ha- wali, and to deal with the latter as we deal with the Philippines, and to apply to all without delay the same fixed formula of laws which custom and the Intention of statehood has prescribed for our territories from which our states are formed, is a proposition as mad as it is novel. The Greatest Opportunity. “\ve have the greatest opportunity, the est duty, with which fortune ever xsed its most favored nation. Events pls us in positions of command over the ific. The key to the commerce of the east is in our hands. We are the warden of the gates of the gulf. With the canal a completed work, we control the chosen and the natural highways of the commerce of mankind more than any power, England. More than any people of ents are placing us where we the peace of the Rico, Cuba, the canal, Ha- , the Philippines, make us Hterally the ‘gn power among the nations. 1 say make us the master people of the world, for » will surrender . because We can- ropriate methods for I will never not invent sane and ap their government and control. believe that our Constitution manacles our hands and narrows our vision and numbs our brain. 1 will never admit that our Con- stitution is su arter of h. 1 will hever admit that our fath s ster minds of history's most expanding and ad- shored us within a harbor when the nds are ou and re- stagnant high s call us, their isls the ink nts thereof Straining and uplifting hand to re to civilize und to redeem them. ! My faith is in a constitution which is a chart which we sail all si and make all i a free com- strength as ops. teveridge pointed out that the needs the newly acqufred possessions are of all different and are utterly unlike our Ameri- can states when they were territori “The opposition says that we 1 be- stow self-go" nment now,” said Senator Beveridge. “The government says that we must not at the present time consolidate them with the self-governing people of the republic; the opposition says that they are this already, by a Constitution that travels faster than our intentions and applies, by its own force and in its entirety, to situa- tions for the control of which the fathers wrote an apt and specific clause in that very Constitution Itself. The government says that our power is as ample as the ne- cessities of any possible situation; that to unprecedented conditions we may apply un- precedented devices, just as our fathers ap- plied new methods to the novel conditions that surrounded them; the opposition says that our power {s limited to a fixed and certain method, not designed for the emer- gency confronting us, not applicable to the conditions before us. The opposition says that in working out the welfare of our is- land wards, we have no Mberty of tnven- tion, no scope for the exercise of common sense, no power to apply to one situation that method which fs best for it, and to a different situation another method which is best for it. The Future for the Future. “The government says that we reserve the future yor the future, but that for the present we will hold these islands as a sacred trust for them, for us, for mankind and for the world, dealing with them as wisdom and righteousness from day to day shall dictate, developing them into gardens, their inhabitants into happy and prosper- ous peoples, and when the time shall come, if ever, that American ideas, American methods and the American spirit change the quality of their blood, the method of their minds, the tendency of their charac- ter and their ideas, ideals and understand- ing of government, then our successors in the American Congress may admit or inject them {into the blood of our national life, as the wisdom and justice of posterity may determine. “In a word, the question is whether the Constitution gives Congress a free hand over our possessions, or whether, if we re- tain them, the Constitution gives them a free hand over us. He considered that the destiny of Amer- icans as a master people was involved in the issue before Congress. “Senators,” he said, “the profoundest faith of the American people fs that our day as the master people of this world has dawned, and their profoundest resolution, so deep and elemental that it is an instinct. is that we will, in our great day of world dominion, do our great work of world re- generation better even than England did her vast and yet, compared with ours, her lesser work in her day, which now perhaps is waning; better even than Rome did hers (and at her Titanic achievemenzs let no Man sneer); better still than the Greeks did their work, into which the very roots of our civilization and Mberty sink and draw, through the soil of three thousand years, some of the most precious elements of our moral and intellectual life.’ An Unprecedented Situation. The situation facing the American people was unprecedented, and our action must be without example. The decisions of the Su- preme Court are not to the point, and where analogy applies those decisions to the pres- ent situation, they are conflicting and con- fused. Continuing, he declared: “I admit and assert the authority of pre- feep ue cedent; I understand the phil q as civilization ‘Tteelt, upon which the thority of poaedenticite | a that very reason demands that precedents shall apply only to lke eltuations, and that the eolu- tions of new problems shall not be ham- pered and tnvolved by fitting them Into an- cfent and inapplicable[precedenis. The very philosophy of precedent demands the crea- tlon of new precedents. oft of new ovca- sions. Surely we can sce more clearly the situation before us with our living eyes than with the doad eyes of the fathers, and even those dead eyes looking not at our Problems, but at theirs.” “Precedent has !ts rightful authority, but it has its danger, two. It sanctifies the past, but, used beyond its rightful sphere, it forbids the future. yChina, we say, is liv- ing in the past She {s living in her prece- dents. She inquires not the best way; she asks only the way of the!fathers. She is reminiscent, not inventive. Her memory Is abnormal, ‘her initiative is atrophied. Drugged with the opium of precedent, she sits and dreams of anclent glories and the ancient gods. The rcience of the modern world is a lie to her, because the fathers knew it not. Our medicines aré poison because they are not inherited from the past, and enchantment is efficacious be- cause her ancestry dealt: with the magic of the night. Spirits of evil fly upon the air, and workmen fix charms upon buildings where they labor. to frighten the fell in. fluences of the nether world because th fathers did the like for a thousand years. Precedent has shod with lead the feet of this puissant people, and put upon her ere- Hds the somnolent spell ef dreams. Happy for China when she shall be aroused from that narcotic sleep, even by the thunder of foreign cannon on her soil. Constitution Does Give Power. “But the Constitution does give us power as ample as our opportunities; power so ex- press and emphatic that the opposition dare not quote It, lest it confound thm, but fly to sublleties and refinements of other sec- tions not bearing on the matter in dispute; power so clear that It bears almost the au- thority of command; power written by the instinctive anticipation of our development; power penned by the racial impulse in the blood of the fathers; power so complete, emphatic and unusual that there is in It the suggestion of duty. “‘Th> Congress shall have power to dis- pose of and make all needful rules and reg- ulations respecting the territory or other property belonging to the United States.’ “So the Constitution says that there can he territory ‘belonging to the United States.’ Congress can even ‘dispose’ of that terri- tory. But ‘territory belonging to the United States’ cannot be a part of the United States—that is a contradiction in terms. If ‘territory belongs to the United Statzs,’ and at the same time is a part of the United States, it belongs to, is owned by, a body politic of which it is itself a part—which is an absurdity in reasoning, an impossibility in logic. And Congress may even ‘dispose of territory belonging to th: United States.’ ‘Dispose’ of how? Not by making that ter- ritory states only; not by establishing inde- pendent government only; not by making that territory a part of the republic only. No; and full provision for such disposition of territory Is made elsewhere in the Con- stitution. But the words ‘dispose of any territory belonging to the United States’ stand there unlimited, absolute and im- perlal. We can make it a part of the United Btates if we wish. We can set up independ- ent government if we wish, and alienate it utterly; and yet we could not do that if it is a part of the United States, for how can the United States alienate any part of St- self, or how can any part of the United States alienate itself from the United States? Our southern brothers asked tha latter question, and a million men answered it with their live: “Of course, Congress must exercise this power in the manner prescribed in the Con- stitution. The Constitution determines the method of congressional action in exercis- ing all its powers, and the Constitution fixes certain fundamental general Jimitations to and absolute general prohibitions on the power of Congress; and when Congress makes ‘nee iful rules and regulations re- specting territory or other property belong- ing to the United States’ it cannot trans- gress these limitations or prohibitions any more than :t can pass laws in any other manner, except the one marked out in the Constitution. This is, of course, self-evi- dent, but L state it only that even the mal- ice of partisanship shall not say that we put Congress above the Constitution.’ Our Institutions Control, “Do you tell me that under power so broad we can set up.a king in Porto Rico, and that therefore we must so construe the Constitution as to forbid such a power? I answer that we could not, even if an- other section of the Constitution did not, in terms, forbid it “Why not? Be use our Constitution ia terms forbids? Yes. But also because our institutions-forbid. Institutional law is old- er, deeper and more vital that constitu- tional Jaw. Our Constitution is only one of the concrete manifestations of our in- stions. Our st are another; dec! of-our courts are another. Our insti- tutional law is the atmosphere, im- palpable, imperceptible, but a rvading and the of life ftself. There cely of las resort in all the republic, involving gre constitutional questions, which does not fer to the spirit of our institutions as inter- preting our Constitution. It is our insti tional Jaw which, flowing like our vital blcod through the weaker constitution, gives that instrument vitality and pr of de- velopment. Our institutions were not es- tablished by the Constitution. Institutional isied before the Constitution. ured that Wherever the Constitu- tion correctly interprets our institutions It lives; wherever it does not correctly in- ae our Constitution it dies and has ied. “And s0 our security,” he said, “the se- curity of our island wards, the security of liberty, is not in the written word of the Constitution; {t is in our institutions which are the spirit of the Constitution. Eng- land has no written constitution; France has an ideal written constitution; and yet England has liberty and law; France has bureaucracy and military absolutism. Eng- land, without a written constitution, is as free a government as ours. Law reigns su- preme. * * © The Letter or the Spirit. “It is our institutional law, therefore, of which men should inquire, who would know the meaning and the life of our constitu- tional law. I have heard ‘Constitution,’ ‘Con- stitution,’ ‘the letter of the Constitution;’ I have lstened for our institutions, and in vain. And yet ts it not written that ‘the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life?” Is it not written that ‘man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that pro- ceedeth out of the mouth of God?’ And so I say I respect not, neither do I heed, the false prophets of the constitutional law, who have not learned the history of our institutions, of which the Constitution is but an incident, until it is a part of their being and their blood. I respect not con- stitutional charlatanism, that pseudo learn- ing that fastens its eye on the printed page alone, disdeins our institutions as interpret- ing it, and refuses to consider the sources of those institutions—the English struggle for the rights of man, regulated by equal laws, the spirit of Dutch independence, Dutch federation and Ditch institutions, THE FEAR OF HUMBUG ee PREVENTS MANY PEOPLE FROM TRYING A GOD MEDICINE. Stomach troubles are,go common and {n most cases so obstinate to. cupe thaty people are apt to look with suspicion on gny remedy claiming to be @ radical, permanent cure for dyspepsia asd indi- gestion. Many such pride themselves on their acuteness in never being humbugged, especially in mediates. at 7 ‘This fear of being humbugged! can be carried too far, so fer, in fact, tht many people suffer for years with weak digestidty rather than risk a little time and money in faithfully jtesting the claims made of @ preparation so relible and universally used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Now Stuart's Dyspepsfa Tablets are vastly dif- ferent in <ne important respect from ordinary proprietary medicines for the reason that they are not @ secret patent medicine, no secret is made of thelr Ingredients, but analysis shows them to contain the natural digestive ferments, pure asep- tle pepsin. the digestive acids, Golden Seal, bis- moth, hydrastis and nux.

This is the only secret of theip. success, Cathartic pills never have and never can cure indigestion and stomach troubles because they act entirely on the bowels, whereas the whole trouble is really in the stomach. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after meals digest the food. That is all there 1s to it. Food not digested or half digested 1s polson, as it cre- ates gas, acidity, headaches, palpitation of the heart, loss of fiesh and appetite and many other troubles which are often calied by some other name. mh26&29 1900-22 PAGES.

It is this faction, this squadron of obstructing partisanship, that has been from the first opposing the government. There is no sincerity in their attitude; for they advocate free trade with our new pos- sessions, they say, because they are our possessions, and in the same sentence ad- vocate the abandonment of the po: sions themselves—which is an antag premises and a non-sequitur in conclusion. This partisan opposition to the government ask free trade with Porto Rico and the Philippines not because they believe in it except as they believe in free trade with all the world, but to frighten the timid with falsehoods about competition with pauper labor and so to prevent the nation from keeping these priceless possessions.

We go forth on a world career; we must conduct it with a world statesman- ship—a statesmanship that considers the ef- fect of every law we pass upon the peoples over whom our influence is extending, and upon the world at large, as well as upon ourselves. “Sir, administration of government means Inore than balance sheets; more than weights or measures. It means this, but it also means the weighing of the hearts of men and the balance sheets of the affections of the governed people. The American masses, in whose breasts dwell the purity, power and hope of the republic and of the world, understand this well. They feel and deeply know that we are henceforth the master people of the world. They doubt not that human progress is one vast and swell- ing harmony which not even all the dis- cords of history can destroy, and they mean that in all that divine and splendid composi- tion the noblest, highest, purest, tenderest note skall be that struck by the American people as the sovereign power of earth.” = oacCOO OOO OO OO OO BEWARE of Imitations of LIEBIG Company’s Extract NEW YORK. modified by the committee, because we must not deny civil government to the people of Porto Rico a moment longer, and because the bill as modified insures free trade with Porto Rico as soon as the civil government of that island provides a system of taxation of its own. “So that the sooner Porto Rico gets civil government the quicker it will get free trade under the modifications which the committee have made to the bill. I should be glad if the bill could be so separated that we might vote for civil government without the revenue feature, although the committee have modified that feature so as to insure early freedom of trade. But as the bill stands, unless we can amend it we must vote for it as modified by the commit- tee or else vote against civil government altogether, and civil government must no lenger be denied to the people of Porto Rico. Delay of civil government to these people is denial of justice. Will Vote for Civil Government. “And so I shall vote for the civil govern- ment bill because it does establish clvil gov- ernment at once, and because, under the modification by the committee, it also es- tablishes absolute reciprocity in the near future. It ought to establish unrestricted trade instantly, and it may be that the House will so amend it, if we should not so amend it here. But if we are not able to so amend it here, and if the House should not so amend it, but adopt the modified civil government bill, the committee’s modifica- tion does give us the absolute certainty of unrestricted trade at no distant date. The biti as a whole, while not what I would have it, in its failure to give immediate and unrestricted: trade to Porto Rico, and in other particulers, nevertheless does es- tablish civil Severunent. which may not be Look for this ex- delayed another moment, and does insure 1331 F St. N.
