The Means
Items Gathered In From Far and Near
"Glfford PInchot and James R. Garfield have been to see Roosevelt, and of course, the talk -was about politics, though none of it got out. There is one thing we may be certiin of and that is, they did not criticise the administration for any of Its congressional policies." The Ohio State Journal. . In those few sentences is contained some of the most Insidious and dangerous doctrine which is being fed to the people of the country these days, alttSk the sugar coating i3 invisible to the eye and sweet to the taste. There is an effort being made to discredit the Insurgents and give the credit to the regulars and to the Administration. This is the means taken to save to the Interests the stand pat Influences in congress which are bound to them with the, tightest and firmest bond. There is a direct attempt made in the journal Just quoted to make it appear that Garfield and Pinchot are on the square as the people know they are, but that tho Insurgents have not accomplished anything and that the credit of it goes to the administration which has fought them at many turns. Do you remember it was only a few weeks ago that the Wickersham railroad bill drafted by the attorney-general of the United States, approved and transmitted to the congress of the United States, was exposed in that body by the Insurgents and by the efforts of Cummins, Beveridge and LaFollette, Dolliver and Clapp was changed so as to be beneficial. Thus when papers like the Ohio State Journal organs of bourbon and stand pat tendencies, say that Pinchot finds no fault with the congressional policies of the administration, there is direct misrepresentation. What is the truth? "The National Conservation association was in close co-operation with the Insurgents in Congress, and we feel cheerful over the ability of the Insurgents to make good bills out of bad bills. For instance, take the railroad bill. As prepared by Attorney-General Wickersham it was a bad bill. The Insurgents practically rewrote it, and with the aid of the men who sympathized with them, gave us a valuable bill. "Such men as Cummins, Clapp, Dolliver, LaFollette and Beveridge have done great work. They had the real support from the sympathizers of the Insurgents. The service of the Insurgents to the nation has been remarkable and I believe the nation appreciates them." Yet miracles are wont to happen! The Wickersham bill was the chief administration policy drawn up and fathered within its portals. "As prepared by Attorney General Wickersham it was a bad bill." So says Pinchot.
CURE YOUR KIDNEYS. Do Not Endanger Life When a Richmond Citizen Shows You the Cure.
Why will people continue to suffer the agonies of kidney complaint, backaehe, urinary disorders, lameness, headaches, languor, why allow themselves to become chronic invalids, when a certain cure is offered them? Doan's Kidney Pills is the remedy to use, because it gives to the kidneys the help they need to perform their
work. If you have any, even one, of the symptoms of kidney diseases, cure yourself now, before diabetes, dropsy or Bright's disease sets in. Read this Richmond testimony. Mrs. F. P. Brooks. 213 S. Fifth St., Richmond, Ind., says: "We have used Doans Kidney Pills in our family for years and would not be without a supuly in the house. I took this remedy for a weakness of the kidneys and pains in my back and sides and I found great relief. Doan's Kidney Pills are deserving of my highest endorsement." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States. Remember the name Doan's and take no other.
Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A.. NYE.
A PRESENCE. The best mahogany is scratched; There's mud upon the polished floor The storm and sun beat in. Unlatched And swinging wide stands every door. Each hour Is luncheon time. It seems. And hunger pauses not for grace. Farewell to idleness and dreams! There is a boy about the place. The pages of a favorite book Are marked with thumb prints here
and there. The house dog wears a puzzled look, Yet welcomes mischief in the air. Paint brush and nails and hammer play Odd pranks which years cannot efface. Adieu, oh lazy, loitering day! There is a boy about the place. But when o'erhead the starry train In wondrous pageantry is shown. Our heartbeats echo back again The sweet affection of his own. The paths which far beyond us range Are his to tread with youthful pace, And night seems solemn, still and strange. There is a boy about the place.
A few paragraphs in a daily paper do not make any difference, you say. Perhaps not. But at any rate they point to the attempt being made to discredit the insurgents to save the administration and the stand pat policies while detracting from men like Beveridge and the men in the Senate who have enabled the administration and the Republican party to go before the people with its pledges fulfilled. What would have been the outcome if the Wickersham bill had not been remodeled re-made with its dangerous features still included. There would have been another theft like the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. ' There will be many attempts not in the open, to be sure, but veiled, hidden and skulking to defeat the insurgents between now and November. And this is the subtlest way of all.
Washington's Growth. Prom the New York Tribune. Washington Is the first city whose population in 1910 haa been announced by the census bureau. The growth In the last decade has been 52,351 -at the rate of 18.S percent. The percentage of increase from 1S90 to 1900 was 21; so that there has been a slight retardation in the capital's development. Yet most Washingtonlans will
doubtless be satisfied, with the moderate increase recorded, 6ince they are sensibly content to see the city grow slowly through accretions due to an appreciation of its attractiveness as a place of residence rather than to its exploitation as a center of industry and commerce. For a city which has little manufacturing outside that which the government is obliged to do for itself, and practically no wholesale trade, Washington's pain seems substantial enough. It must depend for its expansion on the jxowth of the activities of the federal establishment That is slow but sure. Every addition to the civil service or to the naval and military services is an additional guarantee of the city's future. Thousands who have served the government in some capacity remain in Washington when that service Is over. It Is an Ideal place In which to live In retiremeat or In which to educate a family. But its sains of population on these scores are offset by losses due to the
drift of the more active adults to centers where there are greater opportunities in industry and business. Were Washington able to hold its natural
increase in population, giving it employment such as is easily to be found
In commercial communities, it would
soon outstrip all its neighbors. Baltimore has been growing at a slower rate than Washington and is not likely to show in this census a higher per
centage than Washington's. Yet Bal-i
timore is a seaport, a jobbing and railroad center and a seat of manufacture. The National Capital can scarcely hope to attain more than moderate size, because its area is limited and will soon be fully occupied. The government has taken a liberal amount of the available space for public buildings, grounds and parks, and there is no section left undeveloped which is suitable for manufacturing purposes. It would be better policy, therefore, to encourage slower growth along the lines which have been followed heretofore than to try to stimulate industry and thus introduce an element out of place in the quiet, orderly, easygoing life of the community. Other cities are fitted to be marts of trade and smoke-covered hives of industry. Washington has the better part in remaining a center of leisure, cultivation, decorum and beauty.

BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
The Handshake. From the Baltimore American. Fashion has prescribed the proper altitude, grip and duration of the correct handshake; but there's mighty little soul in the handshake of a man who has to first stop and think how to do it. The old-fashioned catch-as-catch-can will still hold good between friends.
Experience. Experience ia a keen knife that hurts while it extracts the cataract that blinds De Linod.

More Theorizing. "So you think Mars must be inhabited?" "Yassuh," replied Uncle Rasberry. "Dar am' no doubt of it. An' what's mo', dem 'habitants is cullud folks. All dem canals wouldn' be no good wifout canal-boats an canal-boats .wouldn' be no good wifout mules. An dar ain' no use o' tryin' to run any kin' o' mule business wifout de help o' cullud folks."
Headwear. "Every now and then you see a woman take her hat off at a base ball game," said one fan. "Yes," replied the other. "But it is usually to give her hair a chance to expand and take up more room than the hat did."
How It Seemed. The gardening amateur anew Rehearsed his grief complete. The only thing that really grew Was grass beneath his feet.
Unique. "There's one thing I particularly admire about the Declaration of Independence," said Farmer Corntossel. "What's that?" "It's one of the few big public speeches that don't start off with "fellow citizens!'"
Other People's Money. "I knew that man when he didn't have a dollar he could call his own." "Yes," replied Mr. Sinnick. "He has gotten more nerve about calling things his own than he used to have."
There Is no medicine so sate and at the same time so plaaaant to take as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, the positive cure for all diseases arising from stomach trouble. The price is very reasonable--50c and 11.
A PICTURE. As a rule, we should prefer to hang up only beautiful pictures for the public gaze. But even the hideous picture if it is true may have its uses. Here is one: A wealthy citizen of New York was suing another wealthy citizen for alienating the affections of the former's wife. The wife was put on the witness stand. This is part of her testimony: Describing some of the lively times with "gentlemen" friends, she told of one luncheon at a cafe: "I took the silver sugar bowl, and the gentlemen gave me two knives and forks and two spoons. I bid them under my cloak." Continuing, she said, "One of the men tried to take the brass lamp, but It was fastened," whereat the woman smiled and said. "1 always took things for souvenirs wherever we ate." She also remarked significantly: "We all bad more than the usual amount of champagne." Doubtless. Questioned concerning her life with her husband, the woman testified: "My husband made me drink. He always got drunk at dinner. We used to make him comfortable on two chairs. He was cruel to me and called me a she devil." And this: "He associated with a low woman. I used to joke him about ber and his taste." . Asked concerning her divorce proceedings, she admitted she bad gone to Dakota, where she and a "gentleman" acquaintance lived at a hotel as brother and sister. This is not a page from Balzac It is the printed testimony in a court of record in New York. You don't like it? Well, it is rather "lmpressionistic,M as one might say. But it is true. And it is typical. Iu an adjoining column of the same newspaper is another revelation of "high life" almost as nauseous. This Hogarthian but realistic picture of vice in velvet is a fit companion piece to the crude wickedness of the slums. To fitly characterize the picture In words is impossible. How sball we label it? Suppose we put under it the familiar words: III fares the land, to hastening Ills a prey. Where wealth accumulates and men (and women) decay.
Byron's Thin DietLord Bjrou bad decided views on diet. His fear of fatness rather than its suitability to bis work dictated tbe starvation to which he subjected himself, lu lSi:t he lived upon tea and six biscuits a day. and In KS10 his diet consisted of a thin slice of bread for breakfast aud u vegetable dinner. He chewed mastic and tolmcco to keep down bis hunser in between. While at Athens be drank vinegar and water and seldom ate more than a little rice. And yet Trelawny has recorded that no man bad brighter eyes or a clearer voice.
