Is 1T RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Patent

From sylvan Valley News, Brcvsrd. N. c.,
II may be question whether the

publicly recommend any Of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market, yet asa preventive Of suffering
we feel it a duty to say "a good word for
Chamberlnin's Collie Cholera and Diar:;
rhoea Remedy. We have known and used
years and have alwa, found it reliable.

not be required. At least this has been

Suspicious Examinations.

There is one feature Of present
discussion that does not shed Il very
favorable light on the purposes and
projects Of the republican party IN
the Philippine islands. namely, the
fury with which The administration
organs resent criticism of and
oppostionto the republican policy
in those islands.
Nothing could be more significant
than the readiness with which men
otherwise sane and sensible employ
the terms "traitor" and "treachery"
as descriptive Of those who, honor
ing the Hag and are willing to die for
the principles Of which it is the en-
R(en, are kecnly anxious it shou d
have the same meaning abroad that
lit retains at home. We do not hes
itate to say that there is something
slspcions in the heat manifested by
the republican organs when The wis
dom and justice of their Philippine
policy is called in question.
The plain object Of this free em-
ploynent Of the terms . 'treachery"
and "traltorn is to stile discussion
1t is an effort to make weak.minded
and weak kneed people believe that
the manifest destiny ofthe republic
is to engage in foreign conquests ard
subject alien people to q state of va :
salOgc. II is true that these epithels
belong to the ammunition Of the
lowest order of partisan, yet we see
them employed indiscriminotely by
men who arc supposed to know the
meaning Of words

Reflections of a Bachelor.

1t is better to wear your heart
on your own sleeve than on some
woman's bonbon box.
The only people that know that
love dies only with the soul are
those who can't marry each other.
Any woman can fall out Of her
slippers, but no matter how small
her feet are she can never fail in
them.
Some girls act like they are
afraid if they didn't look in the
mirrors all the time they wouldn't
know where to find their faces.
When a woman fails to make a
fool of man she doesn't feel any
respect for him; she thinks he's a
dumb, unappreciative idiot.
A woman calls il a thrilling
adventure when she talks through
her bedroom door with u man she
doesn't know whether she trusts or
not.
Mo matter what side of an argu.
ment a woman takes she will never
give IN; and, whether she was right
or wrong, tho next time she argues
the same question she will take
the side she didn'ttake before. and
cry if you tell her so.--New Yorl,
Press.

could not be found. They had no
recognized existence, they were
curbstone dealers, who simply
bought the privilege of having a
few crates of produce dumped at a
barber shop or some such business
house, or, worse yet, sold their
shipments directly from the car
and made no returns whatever.
Still others, with small remnant
of honesty still lingering in their
natures, uniformly reported the
stuff received in bad order and
made returns accordingly.
"To remedy these shameful out
RACES the agent of the road at the
terminal city was instructed to ex-
anime every car Of strawberries
Immediately upon its arrival, test
the temperature with thermome-
ter, make Il note of the ice remain
ing in the bunkers, if any, examine
the condition Of the berries, and en-
ter all the details upon his books.
These remained as an impartial re-
cord to which any shipper inclined
to dispute the returns Of his con
signee could appeal for evidence.
"Hhe effect of this measure upon
d shonest merchants was salutary,
At first, however, before they bad
learned hy experience Of its whole
some restraints, few of them,
from sheer force Of habit, made the
customary return, received IN
bad ORDER" when the official eVl.
dence showed that the berries had
arrived in tiptop condition."
The growers might have learned
how they were being swindled for
themselves, If they had been organ
lied and had a fund to use for ust
such work. Some Of the fruit q ow'
ers' associations have tried to avoid
such troubles, either by keeping an
agent in the city who would receive
and sell the goods, or sending one
to make arrangements with re-
sponsibIe party for that purpose and
In either case, have usually found
the salary Of such an agent was
money wisely expended.
We do not doubt that some of
the parties who sell goods on com
mission are honest but we mistrust
those who send out circulars solicit.
ing consignmcntS from those who
have never dealt with them. And
we have more than once seen re-
turns from some men who had kept
goods, as they said, nearly a week,
and then sold them out at the very
lowest price that prevailed during
the time. We do not Ike such un.
luckily men. They are too much
like the boy whose grandmother
said he lost ten cents every time he
went to the store on an crrnnd.
He may have been honest, but we
do not like that kind of an errand

So softly an SO creepy like they never

Sometimes they are as black as ink, an

But the color ain't no difference when you
see things at night.
