GREAT MEMS MOTHERS.
History Records Them to Have

at is an interesting historical fact
that nearly every man of great deeds
who also possessed a great character
had mother of strong, fine nature,
with whom in boyhood and early
manhood he dwelt in close sympathy
even when at a distance from her."

Der Ladies' Home journal. "Proba-

GIRLS AS YOUNG
MEMS ENEMIES.
How They Puncture Holes In a
Young Mans Business
Prospects.

Girls are by far too apt to thought
lesslY punch holes in the business
prospects Of the young men of their
acquaintance" writes Edward Box in
the October Ladies' Home Journal.
"They work this mischief in various
ways. They consider it great fun to
step to a telephone, for example, and
ring up some young man while he is
at his office, only to send him some
unnecessary message or indulge in
some flippant talk. They are forget
fnl OF the fact that what may be rare
sport at their end of the line may
cause serious embarrassment or worse
to the young man at the other end,
Even if the young man enjoys it, his
employer does not. Sending urneces-
sary or even fancied necessary notes
to young men at their offices during
business hours is another favorite
'pastime' of girls. Sometimes the
fun is carried further by meeting a
young man at his luncheon hour, or
by even calling at his office. Again,
even more dangerous element is in
troduced by girls urging young men
to leave their offices before closing
hours to escort them to some place of
amusement. some game, or to a train.
"The danger in these acts is not in
themselves, but in the injurious dis
fractions which they mean. Business
hours, though doubtless they seem in
expicably long to girls, are, in reality,
all too short for the accomplishment
of things necessary to a young mans
success. Hence every moment when
he is at business should be precious to
him, and it is nightly precious to the
right sort of young man. His mind
should be focused on the problems be-
fore him, which mean either his sue
cess or his failure"

What Annexation Means

If the United States would annex
the Philippines. the great financial
question of the century would be
completely settled, and settled right,
ia less than decade. The annexation
OF the Philippines would bring to us
an additional population of about
twelve millions, all of whom always
have been and always will be silver
consumers. 1t would be practical
impossibility to carry on the trade of
the Philippines and the adjacent
Orient on gold basis or with gold
coin. Paper money would be equally
impossible. Under the stimulus of
American laws and American enter
prise, the trade of the islands would
grow to such an extent within few
years that so much silver would be
required to carry on this business
that the white metal would quickly
resume its proper place in the parity
OF metals.
But in addition to this, and perhaps
even more important. is the fact that
our annexation of the Philippines
and subsequent development of the
islands, with the added advantage of
an adequate silver coinage which we
should give them, would compel the
governments Of India and Japan to
return to silver basis or forfeit
forever the control of the trade Of the
Orient. This would mean English
bankruptcy. The minis of the Orient
would once more be opened to the
white metal and such an era OF pros
perity would follow as the world has
rarely seen. But the gold conspirato
would be utterly vanquished, the
bankocracy would be destroyed, and
the corporations and trusts would be
completely shorn of their unholy
power over the peopie.-National
Intelligencer.

Freedom from MONOPOLY.

( Thomas Jefferson was very much
dissatisfied with the national consti-
tuition, there were many provisions
about 1T he did not like, and many
omissions that he regretted. Among
the latter was bill of rights, that he
insisted should have been a base for
the constitution to rest upon. In dis
cusslng this point, in a letter of Feb.
z, l7SS, he said: by declaration of
rights, mean one which shall stlpu-
late freedom of religion, freedom of
the press, freedom of trade and com
merce from monopolies, trial by jury
IN all cases, and no suspension of the
habeas corpus. These are letters
against doing evil which no honest
government should Decline" Exper-
fence has proven that Jefferson was
right; freedom of trade from monopo-
lies should have been clearly and di-
rectiy declared as fundamental, I'M
aiterable principle of the republic.
Inc power to control trade carries
with 1t the power to absorb and CEN
trailze wealth, and since s'wea,th
from power cannot be divorced, !" con-
troll OF the paople follows, and the
government by the people becomes a
despotism of the dollar. jefferson
knew that monopoly and man could
not rule jointly, that one or the other
must go out of the governing bust
ness, and he knew which would likely
be the victor, and he proposed to
scorch the monopoly viper while it
was yet young and weak. We who
are now governed by monopoly are
beginning to realize how right, how
profound, how prophetic Jefferson
was.-Farm, Stock and Home.

The Omaha EXPOSITION.

When the Worlds Fair at Chicago

we should meier look upon its

effectively reproduced in similarity
all of the buildings which made the
White City SO attractive in 1893.
1t does not now take weeks to
wander through grounds and struc-
lures and then be compelled to go
away with a juluble of ideas, for the
Omaha Exposition people have
profted by past experience, and have
SO improved the arrangement of
exhibits that no more than two or
three days of time need be consumed
in admiration and inspection of the

Investigation Needed.

When the day for Investigating the
conduct of the war department ar
rives the medical department of the
army should not be overlooked.
Neglect of the sick and wounded
soldiers was disgraceful feature of
the Santiago campaign, and the affair
of the pest ships in which soldiers
were transported from hospitals in
Cuba to hospitals in this country
ought not to be forgotten.
In discussing this subject the Medi-
cal Record, which is excellent author
ity, says:
1T has not yet been made clear why
some of the transports came to New
York without medicines, and sin one
or two cases without surgeons. Sure
ly the commnnder-iu-c chief did leave
the surgeons sidetracked at Tampa
along with the auinine pills.
This sending of sick troops on a
sea voyage without surgeons, medical
supplies. or even digestible food, is
too serious a matter to be dismissed
with mere statement that such was
not the case, and that all the news
papers misrepresented the actual don
dition of affairs. Those at the front
who had the matter in charge should
throw some light on the why's and
wherefores of such lamentable results
