THE CHURCH QUESTION.
The question has been asked. why are
the people Of this place so Indifferent
about going to church, The cake walk
and dance that was given few weeks
ago was we'll patronized it was said and
some Of those very ones when ,hey come
to church must needs have cane or .
crutoh, but in that case no support was
for the lame and the blind and the halt all
danced, yes and so.- sall down on that
CLASSY floor but they got up and danced
on until the old rooster came and tapped
his wings and told them it was time to
60 to work for there was no time to sleep
we'll some had turned so long that when
they did start for home they were so be.
wildered, hadn't danced for so loag, that
they got lost on the streets. The circus
came along some went to it so they could
have a good run rgo up with the tent or
be tlattened ont with . pole as they did
last year. you know it takes great deal
to convince some people, and old lady
said one time when asked her reason for
not going to church, it seemed like the
devil just got into her feet so every Sun
day that they could not walk well perhaps
he has gotten into the people you know
he does those things sometimes. he is
said to have pretty good staying qualities
and when he finds he has q willing SUBJ
ject he will surely stay BY it.

troit, Mich, is one of the many thou
sand of Pe-ru-na's S friends. This is what
she says to DIR. Hartman:
1--WE have used your Pe-ru-na with
the most remarkable results and would
not be without it. We have always
recommended IL to our friends. A few
years ago purchased bottle of your
Pe-ru-na and after seeing its results,
recommended it to my grocer who was
troubled with dyspepsia, the curing of
which induced her TO sell it in her
store. She has sold large amounts of
it. My daughter has just beer cured
of jaundice with Pe-ru-na. My pen
would grow weary were to begin to
tell you of the numerous cures Pe-ru-na
has effected in our immediate vicinity
within the last couple of years"
DIR. Hartman, President of the Surgi-
cal Hotel, Columbus, Ohio, will counsel
and prescribe for fifty thousand women
this year free of charge. Every suffer
ing woman should write for special
question blank for women, and have

Beauty" All druggists sell Pe-ru-na.

have to be the best equipped in the
county, but the teacher in this school
knows how to use each and every piece
to the best advantage. They have no
rules and no discipline except the disci-
pline of work and self control. No
whispering, although no rule against it.
Pupils have too much to do and are too
much interested in their work. The
school house floor is clean and the stove
and pipe well polished; the broom, dust
pan, water pail, poker and erasers are in
their proper places; the teacher neat,
energetic and self possessed. Right here
let me remark, that of all the agencies
combined that contribute to a good
school an ideal teacher counts eighty
five points in scale of one hundred.
Ii it is the sphere of education to as
sst the recipient To obtain livelihood
if education should give the young a
knowledge of things, of force of laws; if
it is our purpose to train up men and
women to think and act wisely and well,
to perform with success their roles in
the great drama of life, is it wrong to
state that we owe our best thought and
care to the protection and encourage
ment of our schoolsY
There is no written code of ethics in
the teachers profession, but there is an
unwritten one. No one thing has more
to do with making success of any
school system than the spirit of faithful
ness in teacher to teacher, and teacher
to school authority This last statement
might well be reversed so as to state the
loyalty of school authority to teacher
There may be poor methods, but this
defect will be more than compensated
for if there is found a spirit of helpful
ness, kindness and charity on the part OF
all concerned. Few of us have had more
or less experience with the disloyalty OF
fellow workers, and all will agree that
there are no acts so low or demoralizing
On the contrary, no compliment so high
can be paid to the teacher as to say that
he is perfectly loyal to his school and to
school authority.
We are all working in the cause of ed
ucation for the one and only end of q

as demonstrated IN habits of action.
AS has been said, Democracy is the
one hope of the world, democracy with
out efficient common schools is impossi
BILE, and every school in the land should
be home and a heaven for children.
This makes the teachers profession the
grandest and noblest of all. Standing as
we do upon the threshold of a new cent

ness of discovery and invention, we turr
to the future and see new and better thing.

be more truly scientific IN all its phases
grand in its results, because God through
nature has ordained it thus.
Let us not, then, my fellow workers

maintain and support that hearty fellow

HONOR AND JUSTICE IN
FRANCE AND AMERICA

with a nation that does not recognize
such an elementary principle of NOR
atty as this.
Yet, If the French cared to retort up
on us, they would need only to quote
from some of the journals now de-
nouncing them. Is 1t not in the United
States, they would say, that the senu-
ment, my country, right or wrong, is
heard? Does not this imply that devo-
ton to country is a higher duty than
devotion to justice? Has 1t not been
taught in the universities that to en-
list in the service of the administration
is the same thing as enlsting in the
service of the country? Is 1t not pro-
claimed that so soon as war is declared
it is the duty of every citizen, no mat
ter how unjust he thinks the war, to
assist the government in prosecuting il?
And does not the citizen who does this
and shoots down a fellow-creature
whose cause he acknowledges to be
just, because his government COM
mands it--does not that citizen do pre-
cisely what Frenchmen are now con-
demned for doing?
Your generals and your admirals,
Frenchmen can say, declare that the
Filipinos are deserving people, and that
it is wrong to kill them for trying to
set up a government of their own. But
your president and many Of your edi-
tors and clergy declare that the honor
of the flag requires the killing to go
on. How does this differ from the Drey-
fus affair? The honor of the French
generals and Of the French army de-
mands the crushing of Dreyfus, and
the honor of the American flag and of
the administration demands the crush
ing of the Filipinos, and the justice of
the proceeding is no more relevant in
one case than in the other. The evil
dence against Dreyfus may have been
weak, but the charge of treason to the
government of the United States
brought against the Filipinos Is utter
ly unsupported, for those who have
never been subjects cannot possibly be
traitors. Is it not entirely clear. our
French critics will continue, that the
moral standards are the same in the
United States as in France? Are you
ready to admit in your own case that
righteousness is the supreme test, and
not honor? Will you maintain the
proposition that you would rather see
your army perish than have it succeed
in an unjust cause? Must you not de-
clare that you would rather have its
enemies perish, no matter how right
they were and how wrong you were?
Are you not denouncing as traitors
those among your citizens who dispute
this? And when you have considered
these questions, do you not think that
you ought to confess that you have
been doing just what you have been
blaming the French for doing?

she could do by reason Of her position
as the worlds great creditor. She
would simply call in her outstanding
loans SO far as they were Immediately
due The weight of the demand would
fall upon the United States, for the
double reason that we are the worlds
greatest debtor, and at the same time
have the largest stock of available
gold.
A sudden call upon the United States
for say 500, 900 in gold, would
change the whole aspect of affairs in
this country. The stock market would
collapse, prices of commodities and
property would fall, new enterprises
would come to a stand, and the pros
perity of which we have heard so much
all go up in smoke.
How different would be the situation
If these two countries stood upon a BIZ
metallic basis, or if either had such
monetary system! 1t stands to reason
that If a country has full and free ac-
cess to both metals, it's position must
be much stronger in case of financial
emergency than If it depend upon one
alone Pressure such as that now
threatening England would be only half
as great.
