Constitutional Amendments

An important feature of the
coming November election is
found in the amendments to the
constitution, which are to be
voted for at that time. The first
of these is one which the Times
has long adVocated-that Of ac-
ceptlng guaranty or surety COM
panics, foreign or domestic, as
surety on official bonds By this
system the state and county
could feel perfectly sure that the
bonds given by their officials
were valid and collectible, which,
unfortunately, has not been the
case in many instances hereto
fore. The second is on amend
ment authorizing the legislature
to clothe the railroad commission
with judicial power in all matters
to be passed upon 1t. This, too,
is an eminently proper measure,
for since we have the railroad
commission. it should be placed
in position to make It's work
effective. The third provides
that any impeached official shall
be disqualified from holding
office until he is acquitted, and
the appointment by the govern
or of a successor ad interim.
Each and all Of these amend
ments should receive the hearty
support of the electors at tho
November election. -Sumtcrvillc

The People Believe
What They Read About Hoods
Sarsapar;ila
Their Faith in This Medicine is
Grounded on Merit
They Know it Absolutely Cures
When Other Medicines Fail

Hoods 52rssparilla is not merely SIM
pie preparation I. Sarsapari!Ia, Dock,
Stillingia and q little Iodide of Potassium.
Besides these excellent alternatives, it
also contains those great anti-biIious and
liver remedies, Mandrake and Dandelion.
/ also contains those great kidney RENEE
dies, iva Ursi, Juniper Berries, and
Pipsissewa.
Nor are these all. Other very valuable
curative agents are tremendously COM
bined in Hoods Sarsa parilla, and it is
carefully prepared under the personal
supervision of a regularly educated phar-
macist.
Knowing these facts, is the hiding faith
the people have in Hood 5 Sarsaparilla q
matter OF surprise? You can see why
Hoods SarsapariIla cures, when other
medicines totally, absolutely fail.
"My little girl was afflicted with
eczema and suffered for seven years. She
was attended by physicians and tried
many different kinds OF medicine with
out relief. After taking q few bottles OF
Hoods Sarsa pariIla she vas cured" Mrs
EMMA FRANKLIN, HCneoye, New York.

he had conquered the world when
he had subdued Central Asia, EaS-
tern Europe and Northeastern
Africa. The Roman idea, three
centuries later, was not much
broader-nor was that Of the
middle ages. 1t is only within
the past five centuries that civil
LIED nations have begun to know
the real size of the planet on
which we live, and it is only with
in the last fifty years that ii has
been fully explored.
And now, strange as 1t may
seem, as soon as VIC have learned
how big the world Is we have be-
gun to minimize It's immensely.
With the help of steam and cleo
triclty we are nearer to all the
great centerS Of civilization and
commerce than Jerusalem was to
Rome or to Athens eighteen cen
turtles ago. Going around the
world is q summer holiday. We
rad every morning in our daily
papers what was done in Europe,
Asia, Africa and the islands of
the sea OH the previous day. We
can send a message to friend in
London or Canton and get an
answer in a few hours. 4es, the
wide world is becoming SO narrow
that the eyes and thoughts Of
many are turned towards Mars,
and they are asking: Can not we
explore our nearest planetary
nelghbor, since we have completed
the geography Of the h?-EX-
amlner.

Size Of the World

Sixty or seventy years ago peo-
pie did not travel as they dc to-
day. Many of them seldom went
out Of sight Of their homes, and
the children We're brought up with
very limited ideas Of any locality
but that in which they were born.
[ remember story they used to
tell about one of my schoolmates
in a country school. The grist
mill where his father went to get
his grain ground was some ten
miles away. When the boy was
six or seven years old his father
took him with him for the first
time. Next day he came to the
school house and said: "Why,
fellows, [ went to the mill with
father yesterday. We passed by
ever 50 many houses and through
town full of folks, and l tell you
| didn't know before that the
world was so big His idea Of
the kosmos was extended from
two or three miles to ten that
day.
For some years after their ex-
pulsion Adam and Eve probably
knew no more Of the world than
this Hoosler boy. When the flood
came the race had not gone be-
yOnd the continent Of Asia. After
the confusion Of tongues at Babel
exploration and colonization pro
2ressed so slowly that in Ammo
