SYRACUSE, Dec. 12.-Joseph N. Chenet
of this city, tells of a terrible expert
ence. He thought Death had him, but
he is alive and perfectly we'll today.
Mr.. Chenet was in extremely bad
health and went to celebrated Erie
specialist for treatment. When he told
the specialist that he had Diabetes of
four years. standing, the great man
changed color, and after examination
said: "Go home and enjoy what COM
fort you may. You have but few
weeks to live.'' An operation was re-
commended, but the specialist said the
patient must be stronger to undergo it.
Mr. Chenet adds:
II kept growing weaker and weaker.

day my sister in Winnipeg sent me a
paper in which saw the wonderful
cure of DR.. 3. A. Rose, who was also,
afflicted with Diabetes. That gave me

The Northwestern and Char
ter Oak.

The people of Charter Oak are finally
becoming aroused to the necessity Of
getting the Northwestern line to run
through that place. 1t is an nnques-
tiOnable fact that the location of a
series of new towns in semi. circle
about it, will injure Charter Oak. The
town will continue to be the best in the
western part of the county but it will
suffer severely from the new stations
We believe it would be better for the
whole county if the Northwestern
should go through Charter Oak. We
do not need more helpless little villages.
we need good live towns such as Char
ter Oak is today, where hope and energy
and prosperity abound. These are the
kind of villages which help the whole
county, which add to its wealth and to
the sum total of general prosperity and
intelligence.
We understand that the Northwest
ern right-of-way man has recommended
change of plans so as to place Charter
Oak on their line. We hope the bust
ness men of that place will take united
action to see that the new road come.

one will benefit the other. Long liv,

WANT HIM FORGIVEN.
Efforts Being Made to Secure a Pardo.
for Maine Hero, Serving
Sentence In Savannah.

Savannah, Ga, Dec. 19.-Prominent
citizens have interested themselves in
behalf of Moore, the Maine artillery
man who was the other day sentenced
to pay n fine of $500 or serve 60 days on
the chain gang by Judge Norwood for
attempting on the streets to hug the
wife of prominent citizen. Apetition
to the governor for pardon is being
circulated and it is being signed not
only by leading men but by society
women as we'll. Moore was hilariously
intoxicated at the time of his offense.
He has borne an excellent reputation
in his command. His petition will go
to the governor probably to-day, and,
considering the high character Of the
signers, it is probable the pardon will
be promptly granted. Moore is now in
the chain gang, where he has been for
two weeks. The petitioners say they
think his degradation and punish-
ment have been ample.

Word to Editor Hungerford

Some time ago we blamed brother
Hungerford for taking notice of an at
tack made in college paper upon Dr.
w. M. Beardshear. We wish to retract,
to take it all back and apologize to
Brother Hungerford. An editorial in
the current number of the University
"Quill'' attacking President Beard
shear, is utterly unworthy of an Iowa
institution, and if ever strict censor
ship of the press would be justifable it
would be in that case. The editor of
the Quill evidently does not realize that
he is student NOT a regent, and that it
is not exactly in his province to per-
sonally attack the head of sister lnsti-
tuition whether he is spoken of as a
candidate for the presidency of their
school or not. We do not believe the
Quill reflects the sentiment of the
University students. We know that
no such feeling existed during our stay
in the University. The fact is that DR..
Beardshear possesses in an eminent
degree the qualifications necessary for
a splendid University president. He is
a man among men, practical and
thorough. a business man, scholar,
and man who would take personal
interest in the students welfare. He
is not man Hooking for job" He
has one and good one and Ames
would be very loath to see him go.
The University has already been in
jured by the attempt to "Harva1dize"
it. There is something about western
life and western men and women that
does not readily harmonic with the
more ceremonious and punctillious east

MCKINLEY AT SAVANNAH.
Tells Of Our National Duty. and His Faith
and Hope In our Government

Tells Of Our National Duty. and His Faith
and Hope in our Government.
In his notable address delivered at
Savannah, Georgia. on Saturday eve
ming the President spoke in regard to
our future policy as follows:
This is fortunate, too, in another sense. II
leaves the country free to consider and dis
cuss new questions which are Immediately
before us, unbiased by party or past political
alliances. These new questions are to be
thought out and wrought out, not in a spirit
of partianship, but in spirit Of patriotism,
not for the temporary advantage of one party
or the otner, but for the lasting advantage
of the country. Neither prejudices nor pas
sion, nor previous condition can embarrass
the free action and calm Judgment of the
citizen. We have entered upon new paths.
We are treading in an unexplored field
which will test our wisdom and statesman
ship. The chief consideration is one of duty;
our actions must be changed by it. No set
Element is admissible which will not preserve
our honor and promote the best interests of
all concerned With united country and
the gathered wisdom of all the people, feel
Ing only the right inspired only by high
purposes, moved only by duty and humanity,
we cannot err. We may be baffied or de-
tered and often discouraged, but final sue
cess In cause which is altogether unselfsh
and humanitarian can only be deferred, not
prevented.
If, following the clear precepts of duty,
territory falls to us and the welfare of an
alien people requires our guidance and pro-
lection, who will shrink from the respons-
Utility, grave though it may be? Can we
leave those who by the fortunes of war and
our own acts are helpless and without gov
eminent to chaos and anarchy, after we have
destroyed the only government they have
had? After destroying their government it
is the duty of the American government to
provide for them better one Shall we dis
trust ourselves, shall we proclaim to the
world our inability to give kindly govern
ment to oppressed peoples, whose future,
by the victories of war, is confided to us? We
may wish it were otherwise, but who will
question our duty now?
1t is not "A question OF keeping the islands
of the east but of leaving them. Dewey and
Merritt took them, and the country Instantly
and universally applauded. Could we have
brought Dewey away without universal con-
demnation at any time from the LIST of May,
the day of his brilliant victory, which
thrilled the world with it's holiness and
heroism? Was 1t right to order Dewey to go
TO Manila and capture or destroy the
Spanish fleet and dispatch Merritt and his
army to reinforce him? II it were duty to
send them there, and duty required them to
remain there it was their clear duty To an

his lofty patriotism and high ideals of
national duty with the narrow and
selfish winnings of Bryan and his ilk.
Mckinley says, 'Can we leave those
who, by the fortunes of war and our
own acts are helpless and without gov
eminent, to chaos and anarchy. After
destroying their government, it is the
duty of the American government to
provide for them better one." Bryan
says. look out for Imperialism, our
country is growing too great, there will
be too many Offices, and only disap-
pointed Office seekers are honest.
Americans will grow rich through COM
merce with these islands. Beware of
rich men; we have too many. Our only
duty is to ourselves. Let the natives
butcher each other at will. let anarchy
reign. Are we our brothers. keepers?n
The differences of The men are summed
up in these utterances. We would
again ask you to read McKinley's
speech and then to decide which man
is the nobler and the grander, and with
which side you prefer to have your
name linked in history.
Our democratic friends complain that
the Dingley law is failure because
we are still paying the war revenue tax.
The Dingley law was a measure in
tended to provide sufficient revenue in
time of peace, and was not supposed to
be equal to the emergency of state of
war. The democrats made a great
showing of patriotism in voting money
for war expenses but they now object
to paying the money thus voted and ex.

j Our country is still to a large extent
on a war footing. We have mans
troops in the field who must be paid anC
prOvisiOned, the enormous expenses Of
the war are not yet paid and therefor il
is necessary to maintain an increased
revenue.
1t is curious how these democrati,
organs, in one column abuse the ad
ministration for parsimonious treat
; ment of the soldiers, and in the mex
cry out against extra taxation. The.
are willing to create expenses but no
to provide income. They are pleased
to dance, but the fiddler may go hang
Almost any clod can be patriotic i,
times of great excitement but it is tn
steady, devout patriotism, the patriot
ism that can stand the test of time an,

or merely cheap plate.
