ROOSEVELT AS DICTATOR. Paris newspapers Just now are frenziedly proclaiming President Roosevelt ' a born dictator and wondering that the great American republic stands for him. We respectfully suggest that the Paris newspapers would show more wisdom if they would obtain their knowledge concerning President Roosevelt and his relations toward this country by personal investigation, rather than by getting it "second hand" from "expatriots." The class of Americans who are interviewed by the Paris newspapers are those, generally, whose special interests have been rudely tampered with in the interest of t-e entire American nation. Naturally, such Americans could not be expected to give a fair opinion concerning our president. If, however, the Paris newspapers would make a personal Investigation they would find that President Roosevelt, Instead of being a born distator, is a born leader. There Is a distinction there that is apparent to all Americans other than those In whose shady transactions the president has interfered. A dictator is a man In whom all the powers of state are concentrated and such a man was Napoleon Bonaparte, who was dictator and emperor of the French nation. Contrast Napoleon and President Roosevelt, however, and the difference between tne two men is apparent enough to convince the most skeptical that the latter is in no sense a dictator, but simply the greatest leader the American people ever had. Napoleon, as dictator, worked altogether for his personal welfare believing, as all dictators do, that in that way he was working for the best interests of his nation. President Roosevelt, by the wildest stretch of imagination, could not be accused of working for his own personal interests. He has consistently worked against the great and entrenched power of the special interests, with whom most former presidents worked in harmony, in favor of the people of this country. And even while working thus for the people the president has not been able to use dictatorial methods. Time and again ne has compromised with the leaders of the special interests and gained a partial victory in order to establish a principle from which in the future he can work out a complete victory for the people. The people do not love a dictator. They may admire him, but their admiration is not akin to the love and confidence the American people have for President Roosevelt. And it is this distinction the Paris newspapers will have to learn at first hand before they can do justice either to President Roosevelt or the American people. MOB LAW. Down South when a criminal assault case comes before the public it is generally after the guilty party has been lynched. And even in Richmond the spirit that contemplates lynching is manifest in the mutterings one hears on the streets after an affair, such as happened last Saturday. It is well, however, for our standing as a law abiding community if nothing developes beyond the mutterings. Nothing is gained and no example is set when an angry mob undertakes to mete out summary vengeance. The same men who form such a mob are the very ones who have helped to elect representatives who have made our laws. The laws are meant to be obeved bv all classes of citizens and a mob bent on taking the law Into its own hand simply aids in destroying the respect that must be felt for laws In order to make them most effective. That this is true Is proven by the fact that despite hundreds of lynchings in the South, criminal assaults continue. Now under that condition it certainly looks as though lynch law Is not effective in deterring the criminally inclined from following out their purpose. The man who is lynched is quickly put out of all pain, suffering and, maybe, shame. But the man who Is tried and convicted by due process of the law has years of prison life ahead of him and it is not hard to realize how that monotonous life must punish a man. In the case of mob or lynch law, mere vengeance is executed. In the case of trial and conviction by the law of the land, the entire community exacts the penalty for a criminal

act and helps maintain the respect the

law must have to render it most effective in dealing -with criminals. In other words, by letting the law take its course the best judgment of the whole community is exercised, while on the other hand, lynch law is simply the result of arousing the worst emotions of a part of the community. OBITUARY. Laura A. Matlock was born Dec. S, 1845, and departed this life Sept. ID, 1907, aged CI years, 9 months and 11 days. On June 3, 1SG9, she was united in wedlock to Enoch Cox at her parents' home in Wayne Co., Ind. To thi3 happy union, they were blessed with two children. Frank S. Cox of Montpelier, O., and Bertha Cox, who resides at home, also four grandchildren, three sisters and two brothers survive her, one sister and one brother being present when life departed. Mr. and Mrs. Cox became permanent residents of this county at Pulaski, where he engaged in the flouring business in 1SS1. Later he purchased the farm on which they have ever since resided, and where Mrs. Cox's death occurred. Her life's flower shed a sweet fragrance upon her happy home and friends. She lived the life that merits the sweet repose amid heaven-s choicest blessings. The funeral services were held in the Disciple church Saturday morning at 10:00 o'clock, conducted by the Rev. Win, M. Wilson, of Montpelier, pastor of West Ethesda Presbyterian church, and Rev. Money of West Unity. Interment in Shiffler cemetery. ARCTIC Cut i UN PLANT. The CI max of Nature's Irony In tl Far North. The climax of nature's irony in tharctic Is the cotton plant, says the C'ii cle. Whererer cotton blooms, declare the miner, lee is not far below.

Th blossom is silky, dainty, illusive us tht down of our own yellow dandelio: From the leginning of June on uuti August the tundra is white with thi cotton plant. Unlike the cotton of th southern states, the fiber is short an soft, having more of the texture of sill than of cotton. The cotton plant will in nil probabi! ity some day lie thf means of develop ing an Alaskan industry giving em ploynient to thousands. Today, howeA er, the cotton fields ore purely decora tlve a splendid sweep of immaculal bloom in a bleak, timberless laudscap guarded by hills ever hung in veils o) deepest purple. In great bouquets it 1: occasionally met in a miner's shack while not a few housewives gather tht cotton for pillow filling. Throughout the cotton fields flower; bloom In abnormnl splendor, as be comes a country in which the sun shines continuously during summer's voluptuous reign. It Is an intoxicating joy for the flower hunter to gather great armfuls of purple larkspur, blue bells, monk's head, primroses, sweet peas, beautiful purple and red aeter large as the most cultivated, lilies of the valley, baby breath, yellow arrow, sage rose, pink and white arctic geranium, crimson rhododendrons and giant fireweed, all growing on the hillsides. To enumerate further is to reproduce a florist's catalogue. Concerning "Christian Names." May one interject a gentle protest against the use of the phrase "Chris thin name" in this connection? The Romans said praenomen, the French say prenoin, and we have used the word "forename" for the last 30j years. It is as incorrect to speak of the Christian name of a Jew, for example, as it would be hopeless to ex pect a Christmas card from a Jewish rabbi. Again, the middle name of a Roman was his gentile name that of his gens. On the surface, what a pret ty confusion of ideas it would have been to have spoken of the name as at once gentile and Christian! London Notes and Queries. Fiction Ready Made.

The work of ballasting the road, over and n'er again, has at last brought forth esults that can only be attained after i roadbed has been properly "seasond." The fast schedules that trains jver the system have been maintaining hroughout the summer season indiates pretty well thnt the roadbed is n good shape. Improvements are not to be stopped, however, and just so ong as weather conditions permit, tho hight-of-way of the system will be carefully looked after. From a business standpoint the C. ('. & L. certainly has no complaints to offer. In the freight department there is an increase month by mouth and the results have been highly satisfactory to company and shippers alike. Since through passenger service into Chicago has begun, traffic in this deartment also has been increasing very rapidly and there is no denying the fact that the C. C. & L. is bound to become the popular line between Cincinnati and Chicago. In addition to the through business, the local traffic has continued heavy throughout the summer and fall.

CUDAN RAILS TESTED, The Pennsylvania railroad has had n use for eighteen months on the famous horseshoe curve steel rails made by thp Spauish-A mericau Irou conirany in Cuba, and these rails have worn considerably better than have the ordinary standard rail of the sanu' weight manufactured from other ore. In this connection it is said th;:t the Pennsylvania Steel company owns all the stock of the Spanish-American Iron company and has fully as great an ore property as the United Staus Steel company, not including its great Northern lands. It is estimated that there are 4;.MMMti tons of ore in this Cuban property, which is being rapidly developed.

HEALTH OF WOMEN

In this nineteenth century to keep up with the march of progress every power of woman is strained, to its utmost, and the tax upon her physical system is far greater than ever. In the good old-fa&hioned days of our grandmothers few drug were used in medicines. They relied vpoc roots and herbs to cure wealcneas and disease, and their knowledge of roots and herbs was far greater than that of women today. It was in this study of roots and herbs that Lydia 11 "Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass , diseorered and g"are to the women of the world a remedy more potent and efficacious than any combination of drugs.
