Again, drunkenness and unnatural vices,
especially the former, are practiced
among the higher classes to an extent
of which / believe few foreigners have
any idea, even after they have lived
for years in the country. To know this
you must enter intimate Turkish life,
and that is exceedingly difficult for a
foreigner to do.
Poetry, often exceedingly beautiful in
expression, but of the most degrading
ideals, completes the moral ruin, by not
only admitting, but actually extolling,
the vices to which | have alluded
above-poetry which is placed in the
hands of quite young boyhood. It is
on literature of this sort that the
youthful Turkish mind is reared, it be-
ing considered the only kind safe" by
the powers that be. In fact, every
sort of healthy mental food is abso-
lutely denied to the Turk; history. phil
osophy, science, romance-everythin

minds, required to be kept in complete
submission and unquestioning ODE
dience, to inquiry and discussion.

JAPAN'S NEW CURRENCY LAW
PETTIGREW'S STATEMENT TO
THE SENATE.
Gives What He Believes Reasons
for the Mikado Adopting the
Gold Standard.

WASHINGTON, July {. - Senator
Pettigrew to-day presented in the SEN
ate a statement prepared by himself
giving Japan's reasons for adopting the
gold standard, together with transla-
tions of the new currency law of that
country the speech of Minister OF FL
nance Matsukata in presenting this
measure and the report of the Japanese
Currency Commission
Mr. Pettigrew says that from care
full reading of the speech of Count Mat
sukata he is convinced that the gold
standard has been adopted entirely in
the interests of the creditor classes of
Japan and for the purpose of prevent
ing a further decline in the purchas-
ing power of their credits. The Sena-
tor also advances the idea that the
manufacturing classes have been in
duced to accept the change by the ar
gument that it would crystalline the
advantages Japan has already over
gold-using countries as a result of APP
probation of gold in the past and thus
perpetuate and make certain her adj
vantage in the future.
Senator Pettigrew says that since the
Chinese war prices have risen about 30
per cent. and the creditor classes have
become alarmed because of the general
adoption of the gold standard. The
power and influence of the creditor
classes in Japan have been greatly en-
HANGED by the debt incurred as a re-
suit of the war, the situation thus pre-
senting many features similar to those
which induced Germany in 1873, Eng
land in 1916 and the United States in
1873 to adopt the gold standard.
In every instance" the Senator says,
the producers of wealth are not con-
sidered. 1t is true the Minister of FL
nance in Japan argued that the rise in
prices would cut off exports from Japan
and, therefore, the manufacturing
classes We're interested, but he makes
no argument which appeals to the
farming classes, notwithstanding that
farming is the paramount industry of
Japan
Senator Pettigrew concluded that the
result of this recent step on the part of
Japan must be the same there as else
where, causing further appreciation of
gold and a corresponding apparent de-
cline in the values of silver, as well as
decline in the gold price of all prod
ucts which will check Japan's wonder

Artistic Millinery.

The Millinery Department IS a
constantly growing success. Years
ago we realized that in order to
make it such we must not only
have fine goods, low prices, but
also the most skilled and conpe-
tent milliners obtainable. 1t takes
ability of high order to constant
ly originate new ways and styles
of trimming-to blend colors ar
tistically and to give the work that
inimitab1e touch" which has
made the French SO justly famous.
Our millinery people have given
abundant evidence of their capa-
bilities in all these lines, and their
work has always compared favor
ably with the best from anywhere.
Not only artistic work, but low
prices and prompt attention.

In civilized countries the influence of
a boys mother and sisters upon him
is, as a general rule, of incalculable
value; it is purifying and ennobling. In
Turkey, just at the age when a lad
needs the most guidance and moral
strengthening, the women of his family
consider it good sport to put the very
temptations in his way against which
he should be guarded and fortified, and
laugh with amusement and delight
when he succumbs to them. They must
not be blamed too heavily; they have
no education themselves, no ideals;
from early childhood they are taught
that they count for nothing in social
existence. But the result is that at
the outset of life Turkish manhood is
Slapped at the base, and it's moral
strength destroyed. Education of the
women, which would doubtless in the
end lead to their emancipation from
that degrading imprisonment in which
they are now forced to pass their lives,
and which was never contemplated by

The lowering of prices that en-
sued from the competition of the
department houses was naturally
followed by a largely increased
consumption of almost all of the
kinds of goods in which they
dealt. This increased consumption
in turn gave a great impetus to
manufacture and has undoubtedly
been the agency through which
many of our great domestic indus
tries have reached their present
magnificent proportions.

the best and most tastefully dress

woman is the exception. We are
confident that it is not claiming
too much influence for the Depart

prise in carrying in stock large
assortments of ladies' garments

designing and manufacture there
of, has had much to do with the

The Greatest Monarch
 Is a fit subject for pity if he is troubled with dyspepsia, while his poorest sub- ject who digests properly may well be envied by prince thus afflicted. The dyspeptic of every cline and nation owe debt of gratitude to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which rescues them from one of the most obstinate and troublesome complaints against which medical skill is directed. On this con- tinent, in Europe and the tropics, this sterling remedy is pre-eminently and justly popular, not ouly as a stomachic but also as means of preventing and curing malarial, rheumatic, kidney, bilious and nervous disorders. It inn proves appetite and sleep, hastens convalescence and the acquisition of vigor after exhausting maladies, and counteracts the infirmities of age. A wine glass full taken before retiring has tendency to promote tranquil, health yielding sleep, boon much coveted by nervous invalids.

Two residents of Payson, male and female, wounded by the shafts of cupid, recently entered into covenant to live together, to honor, love and comfort each other, and the wife to obey the husband during the natural lives of both. They, as well as the notary who drew the agreement, which was filed with the county recorder for record, appear to have overlooked the fact that the compact is illegal and void under the Edmunds' Act and also under the territorial law of 1891 in relation to marriage. The territorial statute re- quires that parties desiring to enter into the blissful state of matrimoDy shall procure license from the Pro bate Court, and after the marriage ceremony has been performed the cer- tificate must be returned to the Probate Court to be there kept on file.
