For Insect Bites

Maybe you don't know Omega
Oil is good for mosquito bites. Well,
it is. 1t stops the itching and swell
ling right away after you rub the oil
on. 1t is fine thing for any insect
bite or sting. If you are SO unlucky
as to get into the same bed with bed
bugs, Omega Oil will put an end to
your scratching inside of a minute.
In summer it is great stuff for
taking the aches and soreness out of
your feet. All you have to do is to
rub the Oil on good and hard and
often. 725

MIR. REED ON MONOPOLIEs.

Ex-Speaker Reed has a very thoughtful
article in the last issue of the Philadel-
phia Saturday Evening Post on ''Monopo-
lies" Mr.. Reed is rather a philosopher
than an alarmist, and his views will be
welcome to those who are weary OF de-
nunciations of monopolies without setting
forth remedies. Mr.. Reed shows that the
large manufacturing corporation is the
result of development incident to a growing
civilization. The individual was succeeded
by the partnership to obtain greater CAPT
tai and the corporation has succeeded
and to prevent the interruption which
death and full liability brought to part
nerships. Mr.. Reed remarks that though
Providence and the higher laws which
govern the universe are in mems talk
much inferior to the Revised Statutes be-
fore they are enacted, they are always
found to be quite superior to them after
they are enacted" One of these higher laws
is that mature hates a monopoly as much
as it does a vacuum" The true remedy

competition is sure to arise. He uses the
sugar trust as an illustration. 1t seemed
two years ago to be impregnable. but in a
short time influences have reduced the price
of a II per cent. stock to ia, because the
public understand that the company cam
not long pay II per cent. Men have
learned this fact about large profits, and,
are not killing geese that lay golden eggs.
To-day the wise men in production look
out for potential competition and avoid it.

Owners of large plants are beginning to
understand that they are trustees as we'll
as employers, and that the value of what
they own depends not solely upon the
capital judiciously put in, but upon the
relations they maintain with those who do
the work. Reason between employer and
employe is taking the place of strikes. The
only remedy which Mr.. Reed suggests in
law is absolute publicity of the transac-
tons Of corporations. There may be others,
but they will not be reached by wild dec
larations.

CARRIE CHAPMAN GAIT
WELL-kNOWN NEW YORK WOMAN
SUCCEEDS SUSAN D.. ANTHONY.
President of Suffrage Assoc
ciatiOn-"Antis' and "Fors" Be-
fore Congressional Committees.

WASHINGTON Feb. 3.-The National
American Woman's Suffrage Association
to-day elected Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait,
of New York, president for the ensuing
year, to succeed Susan B. Anthony. who
has been active in the battle for woman
suffrage for nearly half a century and de-
clned a reelection to office. Mrs. Blake,
who had been urged by many of her
friends to become a candidate for the Of
flee, withdrew her name before any nomi-
nations were made. With the exception of
the president. all of the old officers We're
reelected, as follows: Vice president, Miss
Anna Howard Shaw; corresponding secre-
tary, Mrs. Rachel Foster Avery; recording
secretary, Mrs. Alice Stone Blackwell;
treasurer, Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton; au-
ditors. Miss laura Clay and Mrs. Gather
inc Waugh McCulloch. The retirement of
Miss Anthony caused genuine and heart
felt regret among the members of the as
ISOLATION. and when the announcement of
the vote naming her successor was made
many of them wept.
In answer to some of the alleged erron-
eous statements presented at the hearing
before the congressional committees by
the "remonstrants," to the effect that
equal suffrage in Colorado was a failure, a
resolution was adopted calling attention to
a published statement signed by Colorado
public officials and eX-officials, the state
representatives in Congress and others, de-
claring that the results are wholesome and
that none of the predicted evils following
the enactment of the statute has followed.

DOING INJUSTICE TO HISTORY.

1t is not an thing for biog-
raphers to become partisan eulogists of
their subjects and the practice of hero
worship sometimes leads to the belittling
of others in order to magnify the hero.
This is not a vicious quality, but 1t is not
commendable because 1t tends to detract
from the truth of history. Something of 1t
appears in the following extract from Rev.
DIR. Quayle's lecture on Lincoln. He said:
All honor to George Washington. but he
was not an American: he was an English
squire. He had as great a love for hu-
man right as any man that was ever Dorn,
but he was an Englishnlan. When We run
over the names of Adams, Jefferson, Ham
ilton and others 1t seems as though We
speak the names OF demi-gods. There was
Patrick Henry, Jackson Webster, Calhoun
and others, but the first American had Tot
vet arrived. The Southerners insisted that
he would come from out the South; the
people looked again and said he would
come from New England, the grand old
place where men P-e grown, but he did not
come because they could not grow him.
One day out of the West came a tall. dark
hued man with a wandering gait, and 1
charge you 10 turn and look. for behold.
tbs Abraham Lincoln, the first American.
This would not do to go In a school his
tory, and the young people in the lecturers
audience should be warned .hat 1t is not
to be taken in a literal sense. FOR a pub
lie lecturer to state without qualification
that George Washington was not an
American. he was an English SQUIRE" is
misleading TO say the least. Washington
was not only a thorough American. but
all things considered. he was the creates.
American. Because he was wealthy. owned
slaves and conducted a large PLANTATION
somewhat I'm the English immortal style.
IL will not do TO say he was an English
squire. His ancestors. on both sides. were
American for some generations befo-c he
was born. and surely no man ever gave
more conspicuous proof, all his life long.
OF his devotion to American ideas and
ideals than he did. In fact. his acts. writ
ings and public papers have been the pure
we'll of Americanism and patriotism UNI
defled from which all later generations
have drawn n which are likely TO be
| equally as inspiring for future generations.
1t does not detract from Lincoin's great
