launch its deadly missile against an Amer
lean war vessel. If she had been struck
she would have gone to the bottom. What

No, it was her search-light; the dazzling
white beam of light that shot straight out
like sword-thrust through the darkness,
revealed the approaching danger
What is it that saves thousands of men
from death every day in the year when the
deadly foe of disease is creeping unsus-
pected upon them? 1t is the white light
of science; the educated understanding
that reveals the source of danger and
indicates the exact point of attack.

Our little boy was afflicted with
rheumatism in his knee; and at time
was unable to put his foot to the floor.
We tried in vain, everything we could
hear OF that we thought would help
him. We almost gave up in despair,
when some one advised us to try
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. We did so,
and the first bottle gave so much re-
lief that we got a second one, and,
TO our surprise, it cured him sound and
well.-J. T. Bays, Pastor Christian

ferson county, N. Y, June 16, 1888, but was
early transplanted to Wisconsin. where he
passed his boyhood. His education was be-
gun In log school house in Wisconsin, his
collegiate course finished at the State Uni
versity OF Michigan. 1t was through his ad-
miration and affection for Alexander w.
Randall the famous war governor OF Wis
consin, that he concluded to study law and
II was while reading law in Alexander Ran
dall's Office that he first became interested in
International law, subject which he has
pursued vigorously ever since. In those
days. Mr.. Davis claims, he had little ambi-
ton except for knowledge. He loved study
for its own sake and worked for the mere
pleasure OF working and without definite
purpose.
MIR. Davis dates his public success back
to 1870, when he put himself into line for
prominence by lecture called Modern
Feudalsm," in which he attacked the ex-
traordinary abuses of railroad companies in
what they called their rights. At that time
this was a burning question and Mr.. Davis
lecture struck the popular mood Although
OF a non partisan character a committee
from the legislature, which was then in ses-
sion, requested him to repeat it before that
body; the young republicans took 1t UP and
within three years MIR. Davis was made gov
ernor Of Minnesota
At this time the trend OF his ambition
was toward a legal rather than a political

ing the pension laws and in protecting the
western farmers from the rapacty of the
twine monopoly; his speeches at the time
of the Chicago riots and more recently in
defense and afilrmance of the Monroe doe
trine are history and his exposure OF the
fallacies in the arbitration treaty between
Great Britain and the United States. which
led to its rejection, was a lesson in inter-
national diplomacy.
Many hold that not since the days of Web
ster has a statesman made so clear so
terse, SO forceful an application OF interna-
tional law as Senator Davis made in his re-
port upon the cause of the destruction of the
Maine. A week of vehement debate fol-
lowed, resulting in the final adoption of the
Resolutions requiring Spain to eyacuate
Cuba and directing the president to enforce
the requirement with the entire naval and
military power of the United States This
was followed by the formal demand to the
Spanish government for the immediate re-
linquishment of authority and government
in the island OF Cuba and a withdrawal of
its land and naval forces from Cuba and
Cuban waters
When Senator Davis was questioned by the
writer on what lines the next congress would
follow as to colonial legislation he answered
with deep conviction: Congress will be con-
cilatory, although in Cuba our occupation
will, of course. be military. Very little
legislation will be required or even justi-
fable. Porto Rico is an old and finished
community, with a social system of its own.
This will require some modification and ad-
justments, but the colony will continue under
the present system with as little interfer-
ence as possible. AS to the Philippines,
America can certainly do what Great Britain
and Holland have done with the same race
OF people, dwelling in the same part OF the
world, and in my opinion can do It better.
