What We Eat.

"Many thieves go down Red lane" is a
homely saying, but within it's proverb-
like garb there turks an idea which is
worth brief consideration. The red lane
is the throat, and it was purposed by the
Creator as the pathway by which those
things that are good for food might sup
ply the strength and repair the waste of
the human machine. But, alasl how
many thieves that rob the power, I'M
nerve the strength and increase the waste
of vitality come in-some boldly, with
our knowledge, and others slyly and I'M
aware. Intemperance in food or drink,
or even in drugs whose quality if rightly
used is remedial, can convert each and
all Of them into thieves, robbing the user
either savagely and without quarter in
brigand style, or bit by bit like sneak
thief.
The truth that there cannot be health
full, vigorous manhood or womanhood
unless the body be well nourished has
caused many to forget that there is a
mind and soul to be fed as well, and has
enlarged the feeding Of the physical
powers to a place beyond its rightful
deserts. Such people need to be reminded
that it is not all of life to eat.-Harper
Razar

counted for on the theory that the meas
ure will prove an entering wedge to
smash the prohibitory law. We must
seek for the cause elsewhere, and we
shall doubtedly find it in the fact
which Mr.. Bunker is shrewd enough to
recognize that there is gradually growing
up a strong feeling against the prohibit
tory law among peopl, who have been its
friends on account of the scandalous
agency system which while it
fully supplies the man who
is after liquor for a bever-
age does not furnish decent facilities to
the man who wants liquor for legitimate
uses. Mr.. Bunker would let the present
system remain unchanged, and allow the
hostility to the law which it is engender-
ing grow until it is strong enough to
smash the whole prohibitory system.
From mis- standpoint Mr.. Bunker is
an eminently wise person.

A Voice From the Ora 9.
Hartford Courant.l


A little more than eleven years ago,
James G. Blaine, being then secretary of
state in the Garfield cabinet, wrote dis
patch to the American minister at Homo
lulu, Mr.. Comfy.
He pointed out in this dispatch the
vast Importance and still vaster posi-
bilities of our Pacific seaboard. 'sWhen
we survey" he wrote, 1.-THE stupendous
progress made by the western coast dur
ing the thirty years of its national life as
part of our dominion, its enormous in
crease of population, its vast resources
of agriculture and mines, and its bound
less enterprise, it is not easy to set a
limit to it's commercial activity or fore
see check to it's maritime supremacy in
the waters of the Orient, so long as those
waters afford, as now, a free and neutral
scope for our peaceful trade
In order to this normal development of
our commerce it was essential, he point
ed out, that the Hawaiian Islands should
remain as they were, free from the con-
troll or interference of any European
power. The material connection be.
ween them and the Pacific states of the
Union came about naturally and ineyita-
bly,. As Cuba was the key to the Gulf,
so Hawaii was the key to the North
Pacific. This country had achieved a
legitimate dominance in those waters.
1.-THE situation of the Hawaiin Islands, y
wrote Mr.. Blaine, ''giving them the
strategic control of the North Pacific,
brings their possession within the range
of questions of purely American policy,
as much so as that OF the Isthmus it
SELF
In this dispatch of December 1, 1881,
the secretary of state was at pains to in
struct the American minister, over and
over again, that this country had nc
selfish desire to gobble up the islands,
much preferring that they should con-
tinue to enjoy peaceful and prosperous
independence. But he quoted with APP
proval the declaration of his predecessor,
Mr.. Everett, with regard to Cuba, that if
the island ever ceased to be Spanish, it
must necessarily become American, and
that the continuous and ceaseless segre-
cation of American interests from Euro
pean control, and their ''unifcation in a
broader American sphere OF ln,sopenu-
ent life." could not and should not be
checked by any arbitrary international
agreement.
Mr.. Blaine did not stop there. He
went step further. He considered the
hypothetical case of such breakdown
of government in Hawaii, imperiling the
neutrality and independence of the is
lands, as has now actually occurred.
That case arising, grave issues wonld
present themselves. But the United
States would seek distinctly American
solution for them, and would do SO, in
Mr.. Blaine's opinion, ''unhesitatingly."

A MODERN VALENTINE.
By CAROLINE w. LATIMER.

I've written it, love, with a stiff steel pen;
For the geese, I understand.
Are so learned now that their quilts, I trow,
Must supply their own demand.
I've secured It, love- by the aid of glue,
Instead of a strand Of hair,
Which cannot obtain, for l see, with pain,
have really none 10 spare.
I send it to you by the postman, love.
For Cupid, grieYe to hear,
Is afraid of the cold, and has grown so old
That he doesn't go out this year.
But the message is ever the same, my love,
While the stars their course fulfil.
Though to me and to you it may seem quit
new,

Not long ago the Treasury Depart.

in the counterfeiting of these silver is

ue, coins containing exactly the same
amount of silver. A Salt Lake City
bank now finds on it's hands a lot of sill
yer half dollars that are perfectly good,
so far as their intrinsic value is con-
cerned, but worthless as money because
it has been found that they were not is
sued by the government. The counter
feiters are very well satisfied to make a
profit of 80 or 35 cents on the dollar and
still give their counterfeits full intrinsic
value. With the possibilities of making
coins that very nearly defy detection,
both in appearance and in quality, it
would appear that a new element of no
little danger has been added to the silver
coinage problem.

It is gratifying to see that there is a
civilized sentiment in Texas that is not
inclined to extenuate or apologize for the
horrible barbarities practiced by the
Paris mob, but on the contrary is ready
to condemn them and demand that the
participants in them be punished. 1t is
gratifying also that the Governor of
the state shares in this sentiment and
has taken steps to discover the leaders
of the Paris mob. 1t is hardly probable
with the best that Gov. Hogg can do that
any of the men responsible for that affair
will be punished inasmuch as they are
surrounded by community that sympa-
thizes with them, but energetic efforts
in that direction will at least
seem to allay in some degree the
impression that has grown out of the
Paris affair that Texas is inhabited
chiefly by savages.

CAMPAIGN FERvOR.
1t Was Great in the O1den Time as Now
An Old Trick of the Argus

As the time for the municipal election
draws on, it is interesting to observe
that the course of politics has not
changed materially in some OF its fea-
lures during the present century. MI
James N. Read, one of the veteran Re-
publicans of Deering, furnishes the PRESS
with some interesting papers illustrating
the tone of political contests in the past.
One of them is copy of the old Portland
Gazette, the old name of the present Ad-
vertiser, of the year 1906. This State
was then only province OF Massachu-
setts, and the people of Portland were
much excited over the contest raging be-
tween Strong, the Federal candidate, and
Sullivan, the Democratic. Woodbury.
Storer and John Gushing were the local
candidates for Senators. Sullivan was
accused of being an embezzler, and the
Gazette warns all good Federalists to be-
ware of voting for him. Strong is de-
scribed as ''the mi and patriotic
Strong, the friend of Washington, the
constitution and the liberties of the
country" A correspondent who signs
himself "a Lover of Truth" writes
letter which begins with such familiar
words as these, 1.-THE Argus is more
crowded than usual with falsehood and
Misrepresentation" There was also a
good campaign poem, of which the two
following verses are good samples:
Ye parsons-join our people
And vote for Deacon Strong.
Like you he loves his duty
And neer will do us wrong.
Ye doctors-bring your physic
To heal the wrongs OF state;
Purge off the Demo humors
Before 1t is too late

THE MISSOURI PACIFIC.

The delegation appointed by the
Board of Trade to confer with the
Joplin Club were received by that
club Wednesday evening in a most
cordial manner and as a result of the
conference meeting has been called
for Thursday, May 4th, at Baxter
Springs, of the representative men OF
Joplin, Carthage, Webb City, Carter
vile, Galcna, Chetopa and Lowell.
AT this meeting it is proposed to Sc
lect delegates from each OF the cities
and towns along the route who will
90 to st. Louis and lay before the Mis-
souri, Pacific managers the advantages
of filling tho gaps between Joplin and
Chetopa and Carthage and Bagnall.
The committee which met the Joplin
Club Wednesday evening, consisting
of G. w. Daniels, j. j. Fribley, A.
Willard and J. ID. McMurray, were
right royalty received by the Joplin
people and the enthusiasm manifested
was sufficient to convince the dele
gates that the extension will be made
if the good work is not permitted to
lag,
