UilCLE SAM MUST RULE

Roosevelt Says the Government Shall Regulate Commerce. WOULD CURB ROADS. CMstilaiion Held Broad Enough to Deal with New Conditions. CHEAT WATERWAY ADVOCa XSssissippi River Route Exploited as Ally of Panama Canal. President Roosevelt in his St. Louis peech presented his views in favor of a Sheral Interpretation of the Constitution with speckil reference to the control of ike railroad. Mr. Roosevelt touched upon many subjects which he made it plain he considers -vital to the well-be-ing of the nation. He Care unqualified approval to the plan foy rirer improvement : said a word for a strong fighting navy, and gave the reason m dispatching the fleet to the Pacific. Of the Constitution and its interpretation in accordance with "living conditions," the President said: The Constitution is now and must remain what it iwxjrs has been ; but it can be interpreted mmlj as a living organism, designed to eet the conditions of life and not of dxmlh; ia other words, interpreted as Marshall interpreted it, as Wilson declared it should be Interpreted.' Of the Mississippi river and the pro3RBed improvement he said : A h;ghmaj once so important, now almost abanWacd, which. I hope this nation will see mmt only restored to all ia former usefateess, bat given a far greater degree of aefolacas ;o correspond with the extraordinary growth la wealth and population mi the Mississippi Valley After speaking of the place the country taken as a world power and the rapid in the work of digging the I ancinal. the President said: Therefore, unless we are willing to abandon this place, to abandon our insdatence on the Monroe doctrine, to give a Che Panaina canal and to be content to acknowledge .ourselves a weak and timid nation, we must steadily build up and jsoitrtuin a great fighting navy." Addresa of the President. Mr; Roosevelt said in part: 1 hare often visited St. Lculs before, at always by rail. Now I am visiting It n the course of a trip by water a trip on the great nalTiral highway which runs past . ytwr rery doors a highway once so lmportant, now a'most abandoned, which I hop v fate nation will see not only restored to all s former usefulness, but given a far greater deerca of usefulness to correspond wit i the extraordinary growth In wealth anl population of the Mississippi valley. Wo have lived In an era of phenoaien.il raSroad building. As routes for merchanlfee, the Iron highways have eompletel) aopptanted the old wagon roads, and under their competition the Importance of th water highways, has been much diminished. Ccrh a tendency Is certainly not healthy, and I am convinced that It will not be permutant. There are many clauses of comwritw especially those which are prfetabl In their nature and where the value fa high relatively to the bulk, which will always be carried by rail. But bulky comliltltr which are not of a perishable na- ' tare will always be specially suited for the conditions of water transport. To Ulastrtte the truth of this statement ft weald only be necessary to point to the. mm of the canal system In many countries t tho Old World : but it can be Illustrated mmmm better t-7 what has happened nearer ttac The Great Lakes offer a prime extotpJe of the importance of a good water afefiway for mercantile traffic. As the B of traffic runs through lakes, the conttkot are In some respects different from must obtain on eTen the most lmporrtver. Nevertheless. It Is well to reber that a Terr lrr part of this traf st Is conditioned upon an artificial waterway, a canal the famous 9oo. The comthat passes through the 800 rar sur1 in bulk and In value that of the canal. From every standpoint It Is desirable for nation to join in improving tne greatest of river highways within Its bora system second only In Importance the highway afforded by the Great tea ; the highways of the Mississippi and Es treat tributaries, such as the Missouri toad Ohio. This river system traverses too wMy States to render It possible to leave -wrefy to the States the task of fitting It for the greatest use of which It Is capable. ,11 Is emphatically a national task, far this Civst rirer system Is Itself one of oar chief sntJonsJ assets. Oar knowledge Is not sufficiently far adsaaaed to enable me to speak definitely as t Che plans which should be adopted : last let me say one word of warning : The danger of entering on any such scheme lies 1st the adoption of Impossible and undeslrplans. Woperly a National Movement. This Is properly a national movement, Ecanse all Interstate and foreign comsaerce, and the Improvements and methods of carrying It on. are subjects for national aetäsm. Moreover, while of course the satter of the improvement of the Mississippi river and Its tributaries Is one which especially concerns the great middle porlasn ef eur country, the region b 'tween 'tifee Alleghenles and the Rockies, yet it Is mt eoaeern to the rest of the country also, gar It cannot too often be said that v hatewer la really beneflclal to one part of our uaua Try Is ultimately of benefit to the waste. Exactly us It Is a good thing for the Interior of our country that the seaports on the Atlantic and the Pacific and the gulf should be safe and commodious, a It Is to the Interest of the dwellers on ast that the Interior should possess facilities for the transportation of products. Take, ior Instance, the Panama canal, jrg toe Mississippi Is restored to its former ox Importance as a highway "f cotn- , tnen the building of the i'anama will be felt at an immediate adraatage to the business of every city and eawatry dlstrrct In the Mississippi valley. 1 think, that the building of that canal vtl be of especial advantage to the Btates Btal lie along the Pacific and the States tarnt tie along the trilt ; and yet, after all. 1 feel that the advantage will be shared thiu only less degree by the States of the 'anterior and of the Atlantic coast. la other words, it Is a thoroughly nanonmt work, undertaken for and redounding to the advantage of all of us to the sdeaatage of the nation as a whole. Therefore I am glad to be able to report to you how well we are doing with the eanaL Iheie Is bound to be a certain amount of 'pertme?t, a certain amount of fellng our .way. In a task so gigantic a tas'j greater any of Its kind that has ever Mlherto ondertaken In the whole history of Ind ; but the success so far h is been ilshlag. and we have not met with a ofEgle one of the accidents and drawbacks watch I freely confess I expected we should lis time to time encounter. Ymt over a year past we have been encaged In making the dirt fly in good earnest, and. the output ef tho giant steam nboveJs k& steidüy Increased. It Is now ts rainy seascn, when work Is mo3t d!flthe Isthmus, yet In the month of last we excavated over a million two hundred thousand cubic yards of earth aad rock, a greater amount than In previous month w, gentlemen, tnis leads me np to anmatter for national consideration, and that Is our nary. Take 1 p nvy Question. This country Is definitely committed to certain fjndairntal policies to the Monroe doctrine, for Instance, and to the duty Mt only cf building, but, when It Is built, rf pol kin sr and def.-udlng the Panama canal. We have definitely taken our place eiMtj; the great world powers, and It would a a sign or Ignoble weakns:'. having taken octl a pi"e. to shirk Its lespotisiMlltles. TWrefore. nnlrss we ar? willing to alianJms t!iN plarp. to abandon our Insistence tnu l!ie Monroe doctrine, to give up the canal, and to be content to ac-a-awiexlge ourselves a wea'c and timid natsss, we must steadily build up ami malnti&n m. great fighting navy. Oar navy Is already so efilclent as to ke a Biatter of jun pride to every Amerleaw. So long as our navy Is no larger tttxa at present, it must be considered as sut jlne'jiry principle that tne bulk of mr bettle tet must always be kept toCettet When the Panama ranal Is built It can we transfer re i without dlmrulty from one Kjcjrt of our coast to the other; but even wt&mts that canal Is built It ought to be Ckuc transferred to and fro from time to taste. Ia a couple of months our fleet of xrett armored ships starts for the Pacific. CaBfernla, Oregon and Washington have a asssut tine which Is our coast line just aa npeaUcally as the coast Uns of New York

and Maine, of Louisiana and Texa-i. Our fleet Is going to its own home waters In the Pacific, and after a stay there It will return to its own home waters In the AtSanMc. The best place for a naval oficcr to learn his duties Is at soa. by performing them, and only by actually putting through a voyage of this nature, a voyage longer than any ever before undertaken by a large a fleet of any nation, can we find out just exactly what Is necessary for us to know as to our naval needs and practice our officers and enlisted men In the highest duties of their profession. A hundred years ago there was, except the commerce which crawled along our seacoast or up and down our Interior waterways, practically no Interstate commerce. Now. by the railroad, the malls, the telegraph and the telephone, an Immense part of our commerce Is Interstate. By the transformation It has escaped from the power of the State and come under the power of the nation. Therefore there has been a great practical change in the exercise of the national power, under the acts of Congress, over Interstate commerce ; while, on the other hand, there has been no noticeable change In the exercise of the national power "to regulate commerce with foreign nations and with the Indian tribes." The change as regards Interstate commerce has leen, not In the Constitution, but in the business of the people to which it Is to be applied. Our economic and social future depends In a very large part upon how the Interstate commerce power of the nation Is Interpreted. I believe that the nation has the whole governmental power over Interstate commerce and the widest discretion In dealing with that subject. The nation has no direct power over purely Intrastate commerce, even where It Is conducted by the same agencies which conduct Interstate commerce. The courts must deUrmlne what Is national and what Is State commerce. Interstate Commfroc Problem. The chief economic question of the day in this country Is to provide a sovereign for the great corporations engaged In Interstate business; that Is. for the railroads and the Interstate Industrial corporations. At the moment our prime concern Is with the railroads. When railroads were first built they were purely local In character. Their boundaries were not coextensive even with the boundaries of one State. All this lias now changed. At present five great systems embody nearly four-fifths of the total mileage of the country. Probably 85 per cent of their business U Interstate business. It Is the nation alone, which can with wisdom. Justice and effectiveness exercise over these Interstate railroads the thorough and complete supervision which should be exercised. The railroads themselves have been exceedingly shortsighted In the rancorous bitterness which they have shown against the resumption by the nation of this long-neglected power. The control must exist somewhere, and unless H Is by thoroughgoing and radical law placed upon the statute books of the nation It will be exercised in ever-Increasing measure by the several States. 4. Personally, I firmly believe thJ? there should be national legislation to control all industrial corporations doing an inter-, state business. Including the control of the output of their securities, but as to these the necessity for federal control Is less urgent and Immediate than Is the case withth? railroads. Muny of the abuses connected with these eo.-poratlons will probably tend to dlsap-. pear now that the government the public Is gradually getting the upper hand as regards putting a stop to the rebates and social privileges. The Duty on Hides. In replying to the assertion of the, Waterrllle Sentinel that the tariff on hides adds 10 per cent to the price of every pair of shoes and costs the people of Maine $140,000 a year more than under the Wilson law, the Kennebeo j -mrnal makes the excellent point that sh.-es are as cheap to-day as they were in the dismal period of 1S93-1837. Tlioj Journal might have gone farther and; shown that the tariff affects only the heavier hides -used In making sole leather, and that the duty of 13 peri cent cannot possibly Increase the cost; more than 2 cents a pair. This' cost; comes out of the manufacturer's profit and not out of the consumer's pocket Yet a large number of shoe mannfae-' turers have become enormously rich, and are getting richer very fast In, spite of that 15 per cent duty on hides: Rightly the Journal contends that this duty should bo retained because the; farmers want It. Abolish the duty on! what the farmers have to sell and the farmers .would very quickly den maud the removal of duties on what they have to buy. That would mean; the end of all protective duties. Though! they apparently have not sense enough to &e It, those who urge the removal of the duty on farm products practl-' cally advocate free trade. That Is the.' size of It.

Sober Consideration deeded. A whole lot of us have gouy crazy over th? tariff following In the lead-i ership of a few politicians who merely want to work themselves Into some office and who may know nothing at all about tariffs, nor about labor and wages. As a matter of sober fact, there was never a time when the tariff question needed more careful consideration at the hands of our lawmakers than now. We are up against competition not from Europe merely, but from the Orient also. There Is hardly a thing that our woÄimen are now doing for us at good wages that the Japanese cannot do for us more cheaply, but shall we shoot or starve our own workmen? As for ourselves, we are still In favor of looking after our own family, believing that the nation which will not look after Its own household first Is worse than a heathen, as the Scriptures hath It Cedar Rapids Republican. Wyeh Hasel, Not Witch HaseL. The correct name for Hamamelis vlrginlca is not witch hazel, but wych hazel. Our plant has no connection with the magic of the water hunter. The blackthorn of England, Prunus ppinosa, was the wood used . in these divinations, or whatever these superstitious practices may be termed. Hazel had a very wide meaning In the olden times, and the elm as well as the nut now know as such was hazel. One of these elms, now known as UImus montana, was the favorite wood for making wyches, or provision chests and was therefore known as the wych hazel. In the present day it is the wych elm. Our hamamells received from the early settlers the name of wych hazel from the resemblance of the leaves to those of the wych hazel or elm of the old world. Language reformers Imagining that wych should be spelled witch are responsible for the confusion. Wych hazel Is the correct term for our plant A Wise Youngster. "To begin with," said the country merchant to a boy who had applied for a Job In the'store, "I will give you $2 a week and your board." Will you let nie have all I want to eat?" queried the boy. "Certainly," replied the merchant. "Why do you ask that?" "Itecause," explained the foy, '"tlio more I rat the quicker I will he able to work my weigh up. See:" His Qnnlincntlon.

What'a a Popular Woman? A woman can not be said to be truly attractive or popular unless she is loved and admired by the members of her own as well as the opposite sex. She must be welcomed by all, old and young, male and female, or she can not be called an attractive woman without reservation. She must be herself, her best self, at all times and with all people; she must think and net for herself, and express her own opinions, rather than try to copy some person she may admire, or who is admired by the lords of creation. Individuality, when combined with polite manner and tact, Is always attractive. A woman's happy. Infectious laugh Is better than medicine or advice, and her cheery presence is always welcome as the sunsn.ne. A girl, to be truly popular, never says mean things about other girls, thinking that the men will like her better, and she doesn't try to monopolize the attentions of all the men at once, but is willing td let other girls have their share of admiration and attention along with her. She doesn't mope and retreat within herself If there are no men about to advise her, but she cheerfully sets about making the best of matters without them, and making such companions as she has happier and brighter for her presence. If she has a grievance she keeps it to herself, for a woman with a grievance Is very soon voted a'bore. The weeping, fainting, sad-eyed young woman is much out of style nowadays, not only In novels, but in real life, and the happy, healthy. Independent, cheerful and sunny girl has totally eclipsed her In popularity. Exchange.

Frock of White Linen. This cut depicts a smart princess frock of white linen. The akirt was trimmed about the lower part by a single four-inch band, piped with washable black linen at the top. The bodice had a little yoke of real Irish lace and was trimmed with bands piped in black and a loop and ball frog ornament of white soutache braid. Mothers. For several years past In families of all grades the old-time respect, consideration and deference due from daughters to their mothers has been noticeably diminishing, says the New York Sun. This fact remains uncontradicted, whether the mother as a woman represents the highest social position or happens to be an humble working woman. Mothers are frankly willing to admit their inrsonal mortifications over this matter, and quite as frankly express their indignation at the position their daughters have placed them in, and are aghast at the progress made In the evolution of this unlovely and unnatural characteristic. !aht Cap Newness. You never saw such sweet night caps, one a kind of mob In Valenciennes, with pale blue ribbon, writes a feminine spellbinder In London Truth, In a poem on petticoats and similar fascinations. Upstairs there are rooms full of the quaintest lamp shades, cushions of every shape and size, revolving bookstands in painted velvet or brocade, a little chest of drawers with the fronts falling down, making It so easy to get at things without making hay of everything else In the drawers. Friends of the Girls. Governor and Mrs. Hoke Smith have established a new idea in their entertainment at the mansion in Atlanta. They are Inviting the unmarried men of the Legislature to meet the young society girls of the State, and in that way will no doubt do their share In ridding Georgia of the obnoxious bachelor. The entertainments are said to be simple as regards dress, but most picturesque and artistic in every way, even the "simple" gowns of the girls being fluffy creations of loveliness. Aa 4o Telephone Etlqnette. Ld you ever stand at the telephone and wonder whether it would be polite fr.r you to say "good-by" or to wait for the lady at the other end to close the interview? An authority on telephone etiquette says that the person who made the call should be the one to leave, just as she would If she were calling in ierson. Another point of etiquette Is that in asking for Mrs. Smith to come to the telephone you should give your name, just as you would if you were calling at her house. Laundry Economy. The small accessories of dress may easily and quickly be laundered In one's room. Have a bar of blue laundry soap, which answers the purpose of blueing as well as cleansing and costs but 5 cents. One bar will do many washings. As soon as the turnovers are removed take to washlowl, dampen and soap. Do likewise the soiled handkerchief. Ily the time one is in her easy clothc3 the souped articles arc ready for their dousing in a little water. Rinse them thoroughly and stretch on window pane or

niirrpr, smoothing out every wrinkle. The turnovers are stiff enough by this method of drying without starch. In addition to a clean turnover and handkerchief each morning one may have a clean knit vest and stockings by w shing and hanging on towel rack the evening before. If after rinsing one will run her hand to the toe of the stocking and tretch it as she draws her hand out it will look as well when dry as If ironed. Am Dr. Albert Murphy, of Rochester, says soup is one of the worst things known for tlie digestion, and should never be given to children. Germans, who seldom sit down to the dinner table without soup, will scarcely agree with him. He Is also opposed to spaghetti, which he says is without nutritive qualities and indigestible, and attributes the poor health of the Italians to their love fortius dish. A mother has discovered that the baby often cries because It Is worried with the bit of lace about the neck of Its little dress. "The delicate skin of the baby was almost tortured before she discovered that It was the prickly lace that made the trouble. For the baby's home dresses she has now only briar stitching around the neck and sees to it that not a drop of starch Is put in the little garment. Feminine Snapshots.' A duck of a-girl can make a goose out of any man. A brother is a home-made mirror that never flatters. A kiss by any other name wouldn't rhyme with bliss. The world is the shop where we get our manners manicured. Popularity is largely a matter of getting the right press agent. The girl who smokes cigarettes is not the one wlio figures In a bachelor's pipe dreams If he knows. It. The lamp of learning can't light up a cottage like the candle of contentment The dollarles? man is stlil a millionaire If he hath not been robbed of his dreams. Experience Is life's queer merchandise that we buy with gray hair and shattered Illusions. She that stints her heart to feed her brain will sooner or later die of soul starvation. The Jealous wife shouldn't try to lay the ghost of her husband's first love. No man remembers any woman that long. All the World Alike. An American woman writing in the Ixmdon Telegraph says that there are about a half million farm laborers among the women of the United States, and yet. she says, we grow very indignant when we see women working in the fields In Europe. One woman in every five in the United States earns her own living, and yet it Is supposed to bea very chivalrous nation, ind much ' sympath is given to the poor foreign woman who must do the things that have to be done in her particular environment Feather IIatpl';a. Quite the daintiest, prettiest things imaginable are. the feathered hatpins that hae arrived recently from Paris. They are shown In t endless variety. Humming birds offer themselves as particularly charming and adaptable, owing to the varied character of their plumage, and there are also some dear little peacocks in realistic colorings, and a distinguished note Is shown in black crows. So fascinating are these feathery hatpins that they almost amouut to trimmings. Says Work la Tonic. Elizabeth Sloan Chesser says that the tonic most women need 4h work, the tired, bored woman simply being tired and bored with herself or the senseless, frivolous tasks that she make for herself. If she would go down among the poor and actually help -them, or give some of her idle time to those about her who need her help, she would not want to whine and complain and rail at fate as so many women in good circumstances are known to do. Mud Spota. Mud spots may be renoved .from white or washable material by laundering. I Hack or dark cloth, however, r.iay be freshened by being rubbed, with a raw K)tato cut in halves (another remedy that is sure to be at hand), first, however, removing as much of the mud as possible with a brush ; the potato Is to remove the stain left by the mud, aud not the mud Itself. Machine oil marks on dainty white or colored goods should be dipped in benzine. The Coienhagen blue Is the delft blue. Rands of oien work, are used on many skirts. Navy and royal blue are looked upon as fashion leaders. r.lue will certainly be in high favor this fall and winter. "The silver and dark mouse gray will be especially fashionable. Rlack will be a conspicuous nofa in both trimmings and fabrics. The Eordeaux reds and a beautiful

deep American beauty shade will be worn. Drown will be a favorite russet, Havana and leather shades. The mannish or English-looking tailored suit Is wonderfully smart Copenhagen blue and nattier blue or old blue are both high-style shades. The coppery browns and the deep mahogany tones will be exceedingly modish The fabrics show indeterminate effects and, beautiful minglings of soft, dull shades. The Regency wrap, ample and picturesque, and the somewhat modified Empire shape prevail. Worth is showing the Chinese cut In cloaks without sleeves, which have only long slits for armholes. The shawl wrap is, of course, deeply pointed in the back, while the loose and fiowing sleeve Is formed without cutting. Many of the new wraps are quaint and old-timey, reproducing those in vogue' during the reign of the lovely Empress Eugenie.

Hat Sense. The woman who has set herself the task of living up to every whim and vagary of La Mode, Is finding it no easy matter to keep pace with the autocratic dame, whose moods Just at present are most erratic. In the millinery she has executed what may, in truth, be called a volte face. The backward tilt, apparently, was merely a temporar aberration, which has speedily given way before the more aristocratic attractions of a firm set on the head. As a matter of fact, this is a perfectly natural poise, the sweeplug back of the hair affording a graceful side view. evv Delta. The new models make the wearing of belts necessary, and the more unusual the belt the more attractive the whole result, those Illustrated showing several,' of coloitfd embroideries on various materials, that blend charmingly with the buckles. The latter are of Oriental workmanship, and the beltlugs are either Japanese or Chinese handiwork. Sketch 1 is suitable for a lerson In mourning, and Is of richly embroidered black silk on the order of taffeta; the buckle is oblong in shape and of hand-carved, shaded oxydized silver, with design of Iris and leaves. Sketch No. 2 shows a hand-embroidered white grass linen, in cherry blossom design, in width two and one-half inches; the buckle with large turquols matrix cabuchon center, set In hammered green gold of quaint shape and turnings, the ends studded with small raised dots. Sketch No. 3 illustrates a piece of antique Chinese embroidery In curious shades of blue and gold on a pale yellow green silk ground. The ends toward buckle finish with tapering straps of navy blue leather and the oval buckle Is of dull green-gold plate, heavily chased. Sketch 4 shows red Japanese leather with an embossed design of plums In green and gold, finished to appear antique. The buckle Is of frosted gilt, and the leather part Is lined with white silk. Ileautlfy the Fingernail. After cleaning hands nnd fingernails and thoroughly drying, dip the tips of the fingers into good talcum or other white powder, so that rlenty of it shall find its way under the nails. Get rid of loose powder with au orange stick, and what adheres will form a pretty, white rim, which adds greatly to the nail's appearance. Resides, dirt will not accumulate quickly under nails so treated. An Onnoe of Prevention. A v ornan removed thick Ink stains from an Axmiuster carpet by putting on it a paste of buttermilk and starch, letting it remain two days and washing off with cold water; a second application was allowed to remain three days, and then every vestige of the stain was removed. Milk can be used instead of the, paste, but on the whole It is Just as well to be careful with the ink bottle. Learn to Listen. Two very good reasons for listening are that a good listener Is popular, aud th second that in this way one acquires all sorts of information, some useful, some not worth keeping, and still another kind that Is amusing. A third most excellent reason is that each person has a hobby or some one thing in which he or she Is interested. To hit uion tliis, and draw out the talker is to make one appear at hi. best.

LAUD'S M'KINLEY'S LIFE.

President Koosevelt Speaks at Tomb of Martyred President. President Roosevelt, speaking at the dedication of the McKinley mausoleum In Canton, said: We have gathered to-day ' to pay our meed of respect and affection to the memory of William McKinley, who as 'resident won a place in the hearts of the American people such as but three or four of all the Presidents of this country have ever won. He was of tingular uprightness and purity of character, alike in public and in private life ; a citizen who loved peace, he did his duty faithfully and well for four years of war when the honor of the nation called him to arms. As Congressman, as Governor of his State, and finally as President, he rose to the foremost place among our statesmen, reaching a position which would satisfy the keenest ambition ; but he never lost that simple and thoughtful kindness toward every human being, great or small, lofty or humble, with whom he was brought into contact, which so endeared him to our people. He had to grapple with more serious and complex problems than any President since Lincoln, and yet, while meeting every demand of statesmanship, he continued to live a beautiful and touching family life, a life very healthy for this nation to see in its foremost citizen; and now the woman who walked in the shadow even after his death, the wife to whom his loss was a calamity more crushing than it could be to any other human being, lies Reside him here in the same sepulcher Here the President made his allusions to the epitaph written by Dr. Wheeler nd chosen by Secretary Hay. Continuing, he said : Many lessons are taught us by his career, but none more valuable than the lesson of broad human sympathy for and among all of our citizens of all classes tnd creeds. No other President has ever more deserved to have his life work charteterized in Lincoln's words as being carried on "with malice toward none, with charity toward all." As a boy he worked hard with his hands ; he entered the army as a private soldier ; he knew poverty ; he earned his own livelihood, and by his own exertions he finally rose to 1 the position f a man of moderate means. Not merely was he in personal touch with farnler and town dweller, with capitalist and wage-worker, but he felt an Intimate understanding of each and therefore an intimate sympathy with each ; and his consistent effort was to try to judge all by the same standard and to treat all with the same justice. Arrogance toward the weak, and envious hatred of those well off, were equally abhorrent to his just and gentle soul. Surely this attitude of his should be the attitude of all our people to-day. It would be a cruel disaster to this country to permit ourselves to adopt an attitude of hatred end envy toward success worthily won, toward wealth honestly acquired. Let us In this respect profit by the example of the republics of this western hemisphere to the south of us. Some of these republics have prospered greatly ; but there are certain ones that have keged far behind, that still continue in a condition of material poverty, of social and political unrest and confusion. Without exception the republics of the former class are those i'i which honest industry has been assured of reward and protection ; those where a cordial welcome has been extended to the kind of enterprise which benefits the whole country, while incidentally, as is right and proper, giving substantial rewards to those who manifest it. On the other hand, the poor and backward republics, the republics in which the lot of the average citizen ia least desirable, and the lot of the laboring man worst of all are precisely those in which industry has been killed because wealth exposed its owner to spoliation. r' To these communities foreign capital now rarely comes, because it has been found that as soon as capita is employed so as to give substantial remuneration to those supplying it, it excites ignorant envy and hostility, which results in such oppressive action, within or without the law, as sooner or later to work a' virtual confiscation. . Every manifestation of feeling of this kind in our civilization should be crushed at the outset by the weight of a sensible public opinion. ' From the standpoint of our material prosperity there is only one other thing as important as the discouragement of a spirit of envy and hostility toward honest business men, toward honest men of means ; this is the discouragement of dishonest business men, the war upon tb chicanery and wrongdoing which are peculiarly repulsive, peculiarly noxious, when exhibited by men who have no excuse of want, of povert3', of ignorance, for their crimes. Men of means, and above all, men of great wealth, can exist in safety under the peaceful protection of the State only in orderly societies, where liberty manifests itself through and under the law. It is these men who, more than any others, should, in the interests of the class to which they belong, in the interests of their children and their children's children, seek in every way, but especially in the conduct of their lives, to insist upon and to build up respect for the law. It may not be true from the standpoint of some particular individual of this class, but in the long run it is pre-eminently true from ths standpoint of the class as a whole, no less than of the country as a whole, that it is a veritable calamity to achieve a temporary triumph by violation or evasion of the law; and we are the best friends of the man of property, we show ourselves the stanchest upholders of the rights of property, when we set our faces like flint against those offenders who do wrong in order to acquire great wealth or who use this wealth as a help to wrongdoing. All Cnnnot Eqanl 111m. Wrongdoing is confined to no class. Good and evil are to be found among both rich and poor, and in drawing the lino among our fellows we must draw it o& conduct and not on worldly possessions. In the abstract most of us will admit this. In the concrete we can act upon such doctrine only if we really have knowledge of and sympathy with one another. If both the wage-worker and the capitalist are able to enter each Into the other's life, to meet him so as to get into genuine sympathy with him, most of the misunderstanding between them will disappear and its place will be taken by a judgment broader, juster, more kindly and more generous ; for each will find in the other the same essential human attributes that exist in himself. It was President McKinley' peculiar glory that in actual practice he realized this as it is given to but few men to realize it ; that his broad and deep sympathies madü him fee! a genuine sense of oneness with all his fellow Americans, whatever their station or work in life, so that to his soul they were all joined with him in a great brotherly democracy of the spirit. It is no: given to many of us in our lives actually to realize this attitude to the extent that he did, but wo tan at least have it before us as the goal of our endeavor, and by so duins we shall pay honor better than in any other way to the memory of t!ie dMd President whose services in lif'? we thi:i djy commemorate. l"p to Dale.

In the month of March, before the rivers have opened, on tbe snow around the heads of the creeks and about the airholes In the thick Ice may be seen the curious trail of the muskraL It can readily be recognized by the firmly planted footmarks, heavily and elowly Impressed and the sharp after drag of the long, scaly, bladelike tail. All through the cold winter months these heavily furred animals have lived warm and comfortable in their well constructed houses, rearing their third and last litter. One house erected about September seemed planned with almost human foresight. Here, with their long sharp teeth and strong. Inch long claws, they had cut and cleared 'wide ( paths through all the marshespaths so deep that three feet of Ice did not close them, so wide that we have often paddled along them, marveling at the great floating masses of torn up aquatic vegetation. These paths were a hundred yards long and four feet wide and were cut through a mass of tangled cover high enough In most places to thoroughly conceal a duck hunter and his canoe. In the winter months the muskrats can easily dive from their houses into these under Ice channels, and the whole marsh is before them to choose their meal from. The long yellow roots of the flag and the Juicy tubers of the wild onion (the muskrat apple Is the more poetic "Ojibway) hang exposed before them or rre readily torn out.

It Is really better In point of flavor than most of the coffee served nowadays, and to the taste of the connoisseur it is like the flavor of fine, mild Java. A great transformation takes place In the body within ten days or two weeks after coffee Is left off and Postum used, for the reason that the poison to the nerves caffeine has been discontinued and In iU place Is taken a liquid food that contains the most powerful elements of nourishment It is easy to make this test and prove these statements by changing from ctd fee to Postum.
