With the death of Grover Cleveland the nation loses one of her foremost and most honored citizens, a man who was twice president of the United States. A long, noble public career is at an end and party barriers are thrown aside that all may do reverence to his memory. Mr. Cleveland lived the ideal American life, whether In or out of office, and the fullness of filial happiness that was his in the later years rounded out his useful, wholesome existence. The three score and ten years have passed, the body will be laid to rest and the nation do homage to the memory. It is not infrequent that a man in public life is maligned and his acts belittled. The narrowness of politics and the playing of the game excuse such practices in our day. Public men overlook; the sting becomes as nothing. It was so with Grover Cleveland. During his campaigns and administrations, he was bitterly attacked by partisan press and speakers. His acta were denounced in many cases by republicans and democrats alike. Yet he persevered ia the task he had set out for himself and none but real ized the sincere motives that actuated his every official move. It has been a boon to the happiness of the late expresident to live quietly these dozen years since retiring from the White House. His friends have been warm and many; his enemies have capitulat ed and the last years were crowned with joy. Whatever historical inaccuracies creep out ia a contemporary estima tion of Grover Cleveland, it Is more liable to err on the side of praise than of blame. Ia this country, the good that men do lives after them and with the late ex-president the great acta of his administration and his noble per

sonal character will live through the succeeding years. Unquestionably,

certain qualities can not toe underes-1 timated, and the great American public will remember and appreciate. At one point in President Cleveland's administration, he stood out apparently alone against the leaders of his own and the republican party in the fulfillment of a pledge made by the democrats in the convention where he was nominated. This pledge called for the repeal of the weak, make-shift Sherman Silver Purchase Act, a measure which precipitated the panic of the early nineties. The nation was drifting toward a silver standard of currency, its credit was in oanger and the value of its coin was less than half of the bullion they were supposed to represent. Eastern men clamored for a change, realizing that the rocks of a financial crisis were at hand. Cleveland forced the repeal of this act and then, when congress passed a bill calling for the coining of the seignorage, President Cleveland killed the measure with his veto powers. By the sale of government bonds from time to time, the treasury gold reserve was maintained and the national credit suffered little. Economists assert that this series of acts in connection with the Other currency legislation backed by President Cleveland, paved the way for the great industrial period that followed the effects of the crisis. In his relation with foreign powers, Grover Cleveland was a firm, determined patriot The United States as a world power was not so far advanced twenty years ago, yet the great democratic president upheld the Monroe Doctrine when Great Britain threatened to encroach upon South American territory and the English Hon withdrew on the terms proposed by Cleveland himself. His attitude during the Chicago strike in 1?04 was also indicative of his great personal strength. In the interest of law and order, he exercised his official prerog-( ative and quelled the disturbances with the aid of United States troops. Grover Cleveland was a man whose political precepts were the pledges of his party and the better judgment of his own mind. He was a grand example of the forceful, self-made American. When his opportunity came, he grasped it bravely and directed the best strength and effort of his life for the betterment of the nation he served. FOR THE CHILDREN'S SAKE! To the mothers of Richmond is given an opportunity to work a great good to the city. Impure and unclean milk is being sold from house to house by some dairymen who have been in business here for many years and until a state inspector started an investigation yesterday, there have been few questions. Now the sensational facts are forcing their way into the minds of the family consumers and a thorough reform in the milk business should be the outcome. For the mothers and house-wives, there is open the course of demanding that each dealer prove the cleanliness and purity of his milk. The summer days of typhoid fever and other highly contagious bacteria diseases are here and if an epidemic is to be prevented, there must be no more milk such as was found in several wagons yesterday, sold to consumers. In San Francisco, the California Woman's Club purged the city of im pure milk and drove out the offending dairymen. The same must be accomplished in Richmond and if not by the law, by the mothers who are more vitally interested. It is for the children that this should be done. The summer is not healthy and the germs that find their way into milk that is carelessly handled can work to great harm among the small folk. Demand that your milk dealer show you his supply cans and the condition of his wagon, and if they are not sanitary, report to the proper authorities and the general public will insist upon prosecution. Unfit for any public office in a civilized country and certainly not qualified as a loyal citizen to serve in the position to which he has been appointed, a member of the state board of tax commissioners goes about the state vilifying the Supreme Court of Indiana and slandering the judges who have passed upon a law which he personally holds as unjust. No matter who the man is, his talk to the Wayne County board of review developed that he is a traitor to the highest tribunal in the state. His rank utterances to the effect that he would not trust a judge of the Supreme court "farther than he could throw a bull by the tail" are incendiary and anarchistic in their purport and this man should be immediately recalled by Governor Hanly" and relieved of his state position. With the adjournment of the convention of women's clubs, "down at Bawston," we may soon expect to receive the feminine "platform," although women as carpenters have never been able to nail things down very straight. Just whether it will favor race suicide or the opposite, or whether the leading plank will be connected with the proper growing of fall roses

NATION MOURNS THE DEAD

Oyster Bay, June 24. The President's proclamation follows: A PROCLAMATION. The White House, June 24. 1908. To the People of the United States: Grover Cleveland, president of the United States from 1SH3 to iss;and again from ISttt to 1S:7, died at 8:4o o'clock this morning at his home, in Princeton, N. J. In his death the nation has been deprived of one of its greatest citizens. By profession a lawyer, his chief services to his country were rendered during a long, varied and honored career in public life. As mayor of his city, as governor of his state, and twice as President, he showed signal power as an administrator, coupled with entire devotion to the country's good and a courage that quailed before no hostility when once he was convinced where his duty lay. Since his retirement from the presidency he has continued well and faithfully to serve his countrymen by the simplicity, dignity and uprightness of his private life. In testimony of the respect in which his memory is held by the government and people of the United States, I do hereby direct that the flags on the White House and on the several departmental buildings be displayed at half staff for a period of : days, and that suitable military and naval honors, under the orders of the Secretaries of War and of the navy, be rendered on the day of the funeral. Done this twenty-fourth day of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and thirty-second. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. By the President: Alvey A. Adee, Acting Secretary of State.

cannot be ascertained, there being enthusiastic caucuses and executive sessions held by the supporters of all these important doctrines. It is hoped that the nation will be saved, nevertheless. With race-track betting barred from New Yo'rk and Louisiana, it looks as if Hagerstown will have the only track in the world before long. Wayne county people do not like to bet, but they do like to shout at a good "hoss race." Maybe the descendents of Lou Dillon and Cresceus will finally come here to winter. PEARS PRISON; RETURNS TO WIFE George Schweifer Decides to Go Back to the Woman He Deserted. WIFE WRITES A LETTER. TELLS LOCAL POLICE THAT SHE WOULD KILL HERSELF UNLESS FAITHLESS HUSBAND WHOM SHE LOVES, RETURNS. Yesterday afternoon, George Schweifer was arrested at the handle factory in West Richmond, on complaint filed by his wife, who lives at Galion, O. Mrs. Schweifer in her letter to Chief Bailey stated that her husband, notwithstanding the fact that she was in a delicate condition, deserted her and came to Richmond with his brothers." who induced him to take this step. She, so the letter ran, was left in a helpless condition to make an unequal fight with t.he world for existence. She said that if her husband did not return to her she would kill herself. This assertion was made several times in the letter. When Schweifer was taken into custody he expressed indifference as to the condition of his wife and said that he had no desire to return to her. "She is crazy," remarked Schweifer, with a shrug of his shoulders, but the next instant he paled to a livid hue when Chief Bailey sharply informed him that the law provided a penitentiary sentence for Wife desertion. "Will you let me go back to her?" he stammered with terror in his eyes. A short time later the young man was enroute to Galion. Letter Sample. Mrs. Schweifer's letter was only a sample of numerous ones the police department receives from women who have been deserted by their husbands. She said that she was in love with him although he had abused her shamefully. Last Sunday, so the letter read, Schweifer's brothers, who live in this city, visited Galion and in her presence urged her husband to return with them to Richmond. She stated that she pleaded with him not to leave her because of her condition but he ignored her entreaties. She then made threats of killing herself in an effort to induce him to remain with her or take her with him to Richmond. These threats served only to amuse him and, so the letter runs, he told her that he would lose but little sleep if she did take her life. Her suggestion that he take her to Richmond was received by him with curses. I ciiK uuil Short Days. At Hamburg, Germany, the longest day occupies seventeen hours and the shortest seven. At Stockholm, in Sweden, the longest has eighteen and a half hours and the shortest five and a half. At St Petersburg the longest has nineteen and the shortest five hours. In Finland the longest has twentyone and a half hours. In the northernmost parts of Norway the longest day lasts from May 21 to July 2, the sun not sinking below the horizan during this period, but skimming along very close to it in the north. At Spitbergen the longest day lasts three months and a half. The Word Trl-rile--." "Privilege," seen so often of late In the phrase "special privilege," has been used commonly to signify a right, immunity or benefit enjoyed by a person beyond the common advantages of other individuals. Primarily, however, the word signifies an ordinance in favor of an Individual, and this is in keeping with its derivation "privus." one's own, private, and "lex, law. It is in this old sense that Chaucer uses

FAMOUS LETTER GOES TO EARLHAM

Speaker Cannon Presents Local College With Valuable Message. HAS A HISTORIC ORIGIN. WRITTEN BY JOSEPH JOHN GURNEY TO DUKE OF RICHMOND, URGING HIM TO PROTECT PROFANATION OF SABBATH. Joseph G. Cannon, speaker of the national house of representatives, has written a letter to President Kelly of Earlham college, enclosing an autograph letter of Joseph John Gurney. The speaker was named after Mr. Gurney, a well known Englishman, who was interested in American affairs eighty years ago. The letter of Mr. Gurney was written at Earlhanr, near Norwich, Eng., 6th mo., 26th da, 6h, 1831. The letter was addressed to the Duke of Richmond and is an appeal to him and his colleagues in the English cabinet to take measures to curtail the prevalent profanation of the Sabbath. The letter was sent to Speaker Cannon by Walter R. Benjamin, of New York, and the Speaker forwarded it to the college authorities. The Speaker wrote Mr. Benjamin as follows: Speaker's Room, House of Representatives, Washington. D. C.,. Mr. Walter R. Benjamin, New York City. My Dear Sir: I have your kind favor of the 20th instant, presenting to me with your compliments an autograph letter of Joseph John Gurney, to the Duke of Richmond, dated "Earlham. near Norwich, Sixth Month, L'Oth, 1831." About 1S37 when Mr. Gurney was visiting Friends' Meetings in North Carolina and South Carolina and Virginia, my father was his companion. He had a strong admiration and affection for him. I was born at New Garden, near Greensboro, Guilford county, North Carolina, and my parents gave me the name of Joseph John Gurney Cannon because of their regard for Mr. Gurney. When I arrived at years of discretion I dropped the man name "John" and retained the name "Joseph Gurney." You can understand, therefore, that it has given me a great deal of pleasure to have seen and read the letter. I have come to the conclusion, however, that the safest place to keep the letter and the place, where it will be most highly cherished, is at Earlham College, Richmond, Indiana. As you probably know, this institution is conducted under the auspices of the Society of Friends and is named, as I understand, after "Earlham," which was the home of Mr. Gurney. If. therefore, it is agreeable to you. I will transmit the letter, together with your letter of the 20th inst., to Earlham college, to be safely kept at that institution. At the same time I know that you will understand that I lack neither in appreciation of the letter itself nor of your courtesy In sending it to me. Thanking you for your kindness, I am. with respect, etc.. yours truly. (Signed) J. G. CANNON. A Clever Woman. "Good morning Mrs. Howell, why are you not washing this morning, it is now ten o'clock." "Why, Mrs. Ross, since I commenced to use Easy Task Soap I am always through with my wasing by nine-thirty in the morning. Take my advice, use Easy Task and you will not have to put in all day breaking your back over the wash tub.-' STREET CANS BOUGHT. The street cleaning department has purchased a dozen new zinc cans for the use of the department. The cans will be placed about the streets and used to contain street sweepings and refuse paper. Mrs. S. Joyce, Claremont. X. H.. writes: "About a year ago I bought two bottles of Foley's Kidney Remedy. It cured me of a severe case of kidney trouble of several years' standing. It certainly is a grind, good medicine, and I heartily recommend II.- A, O. Luken & Co.

Poor Economy It is easy to make flaked food for 10 cents? We could use a cheaper wheat or use com. And leave out the pure maple syrup. We could leave in the broken flakes that we now sift out about 10 of the product. We could use the process that some others use from 1 8 to 20 hours. The process we do use requires 96 hours. But that is what makes MaplFlake what it is. Our wheat is steam-cooked for six hours. Then thoroughly cured. Then flaked so thin that the full heat of our ovens gets to each atom. Then it is toasted, for 30 minutes, in a heat of 400 degrees. The object is to make the starch all digestible. For wheat is largely starch. Starch, to be digestible, must be made soluble. The particles must be separated so the digestive juices can get to them. When wheat is halfcooked only half will digest. That is why we spend the 96 hours. And why Mapl-Flake costs 15 cents. It is to create a food that's all food. To supply your children as good a food as we insist on for ours. To give you a food that's really cheao because it all digests.

And the real difference in cost Is a trifle. Add the cost of the cream, and see how little you Bave by getting a secondary food. Then consider the flavor the flavor of pure maple syrup. For we cook our wheat in the pure Vermont product. Think how that entices the children how it leads them to eat the food that is best for them. You lose more than you realize you who go without the food that you like best, thinking you save five cents. "lt' AH Food"
