TO STOP LYNCHING.
Miss Lillian Clay Jewett Will Speak
Against It In the South.

Boston, Aug. 1.-THE Post says:
Miss Lillian Clay Jewett states that
she expects soon to go south to carry
on her campaign against lynching
which, she says. has not by any means
ended with her bringing the Baker
family north. She will probably pro-
coed first to Georgia and deliver ad-
dresses.
Yesterday Miss Jewett had a long
talk with a young negro named Rob-
ert McGraw, who scarcely two weeks
ago escaped from a mob which sought
to lynch him in Cedartown, Ga Miss
Jewett talked strongly of going to that
place, which is in the very heart of the
lynching district. McGraw uas an eye
witness to the lynching of Sam Hose
and to Miss Jewett he told the terrible
story of what he saw.
The Post representative called upon
the Baker family yesterday at their
home on Sawyer street in company
with Miss Jewett- Mrs. Baker says
that she is happy where she is and has
no desire to return south.

For a great many years it has been
the customs for sick people to say: my
blood is out of order 1t needs purify

clearing. My brain feels tired"
They are right, but do they act right? ?
They generally 60 and get laxative
(bowel cleaner) to purify their blood.
Does their blood run through their
bowels?
Science has to-day furnished proofs
that all the purifying that your blood
needs, in fact, all that can be done,
must be done by your kidneys.
All the blood in your body passes
through your kidneys every three min
utes.
The kidneys strain or filter out the i'm
purities of the blood-thati is their work.
Purifying your blood is not a ques-
ton of taking laxative or physic.
Does your blood run through your
bowels?
What the bowel-cleaner does is to
throw out the poisons confined in your
bowels ready for absorption into your
blood, but the poisons which are already
in your blood, causing your present
sickness 1t eaoes there
There is no other way of purifying
your blood except by means of your kid
neys.
That is why bowel-cleaners fail to do
their work-they fail to help the kid
neys.
When you are sick, then, no matter
what you think the name of your dis
ease is, the first thing you should do is
to afford aid to your kidneys by using

DR.. Kilmer, the eminent physician

rheumatism, neuralgia, nervousness,
dizziness, irregular heart, sleepless-
ness, sallow complexion, pimples,
blotches, skin troubles, dropsy, irrita-

water often during the day, and to get

An Evidence of Pro,pertty.

1t is generally conceded by economists,
who study the commercial situation of the
country, that the great arteries of railway
travel are a sure indication of its condition.
A depression in commercial lines means
abandoned business trips and the cancela-
ton of pleasure travel, while healthy con.
dition of affairs means business trips and an
increase OF passengers on pleasure bent.
A good evidence that a business revival
has gone broadcast over this country is the

THE NEW GOVERNMENT BUILDING.

Public discussion regarding a site for the
new government building TO be erected here
is natural, but it need not be heated or
hasty. The government authorities have a
habit Of deciding such questions for them
selves and of taking their time about it.
They will probably listen respectfully 10
suggestions. but will be entirely oblivious to
local influences or real-estate rings. The
final decision of the whole matter rests abso-
lutely with the secretary of the treasury,
and as the responsibility is his he will be
apt to act with due deliberation. The first
step will be to advertise for proposals for
the sale of land for a site. When the pro-
pOsals have been examined a special agent
of the Treasury Department conversant
with the needs of the government and ex-
perienced in everything relating to public
building sites will come here TO examine the
different sites offered. He may make up his
mind very quickly without seeking any local
advice, and his report to the secretary of
the treasury may be conclusive of the whole
subject. If he should be unable to reach a
satisfactory conclusion, or If the secretary
SHDulu utSlIt lU1tutT light VII ne SNabyttAs
he will appoint a commission Of three per-
sons. one of whom must be a treasury en-
ciaI. to canvass the matter again and re-
port. Their report and the secrctary's de-
cision will not be known Until they are OFF,
ciaIly announced, and as there are many
new public buildings under way or JUST aG-
thorized the final decision may not be
known for some time. One thing should be
borne i'm mind: The treasury officials krCw
exactly what they want. and have had 10
settle SO many public building controversies
that they know just how to do it. The spe-
cial agent who will be sent here will take
I'm almost at a glance the lay of the city,
the trend OF its population and business, the
relation of both To the railway station, and
with these data and his knowledge of the
needs of the government he will reach Il
conclusion quite independent OF any local
pull or sinister influence, if such a thing
should exist.
There Is one point that should be looked
after at the proper time, and that is the
klans for the building. Government archi-
Sects are not always the best, and having
so many buildings to plan they are apt TO
lose interest and get into a rut, as it were.
In times past the government has erected
some buildings that were very ugly from an
architectural point of view. The present
supervising architect of the treasury, who
plans all public buildings, may, for all the
Journal knows, be a very competent .archi-
tect, but it could do no harm to give the
matter timely attention with a view of Sc
curing the best results. The supervising
architect is not obliged to accept any advice
or suggestions, but If they are offered in a
tactful way he may be induced to do so.

Wall Street Is Popular.

There is no mistaking the fact that Wall
street is q popular resort at present. Mer-
chants and manufacturers. clerks and farm
erS. men and women. are joining the process
sion of bankers and brokers, and making
the army OF SPECTATORS in Wall street the
most formidable IL has ever seen. How long
this speculative fever will last nobody can
predict. An exceedingly unfavorable event,
involving the financial integrity of the Ma
ton or the welfare of the people,, would
mark the crisis, hut this is too remote TO be
contemplated. The most likely thing TO
happen. perhaps. is a rise in interest rates
after the borrowing limit has been reached.
Then banks may find il necessary to dis
criminate more closely in accepting col
laterals, and possibly may throw over some
of the inflated industrials. The collapse Of
N one OF these great industrial institu-
tons. such as we had when Cordage fell to
pieces. might start the market on a sharp
downward turn, and if money rates We're

cessive stages of reaction, depression, eX-

slide in Wall street Will be all the bigger be-
cause the mass of speculation has accumu-
