The love that fills my heart
The love for you ever strive to show
From my own puny world SO far below

That weresit not for this you could not

lInat you are 30 from what you are to

From my true love and care.
Such is the power Of love, that like the

lliiumines our two worlds through all the

And though our lives may follow parted

Still keeps our hearts as one.
;one heart In duty, sacrifice and love,
One heart In truth and right,

Mckinley n. a chn.er.

President Mckinley spends large
section of his time chasing across the
country from Canton to Washington
and back again. First he goes to Can
ton and sits on the front porch and
wonders why the millions of grateful
worklngmen don't come up and thank
him for the full dinner pail. Then he
gets tired Of that and rushes back to
Washington with the announcement
that the Chinese situation has reached
a crisis. AS to the Presidents influence
on the Ohio vote, 1t is-nll. He won't
make a hundred votes difference In the
result whether he stays in Canton or
Washington. Mark Hanna, and behind
him the trusts, are central figures in the
Republican campaign. The President

The highest speed ever attained by a
steamer has just been recorded by the
Viper, u torpedo boat destroyer of $50
tons, built to the order of the British
Admiralty. This swift torpedo boat de-
stroyer is the invention of Charles A.
Parsons, who had already presaged his
great triumph by the then unique per-
formance of the Turbinia some years
ago. The trial was made over the meas
ured mile off the mouth of the Tyne.
In her first run the Viper covered the
measured mile at the rate of 36.5S5
knots; in the next run her speed was
only 35.503 knots. Her highest rate
was 37.113 knots, or 40 miles an hour.

travel.

CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION.


| Ocmocrattc Party Is Conducting Such
Campaign This Year.
The Republicans had a great deal to
say four years ago about campaign
OF education. 1t is the Democratic par
ty that is conducting q campaign of ed
ucation this year. They are pointing
out to the people the enormous cost of
imperialism and showing the evils that
inevitably grow out of a policy such as
now actuates the present admlnistra-
tlon. Some of the facts deduced in
teaching this lesson are startling and
the Republicans would prevent the pub
hcl'y given these facts if they dared,
Out they have been unable to prevent
the publication Of figures that appear
In official reports.
Imperialism naturally leads to ex.
trapagance, and nowhere is that ex
lrasagance more apparent than in the
,nedical department There are four
nun a. medical officers on duty in the
rnIippines. Their salaries amount to
m., averaging $500 per man.
ahere are at present 10000 troops in
the philippines. and of these 5000 are
reported as being on the sick list. This
SICK list amounts to per cent. of the
'otal force. Reduced to dollars and
eenls TINS means it costs the govern
lhens Sl44 man to care for the sick
ana that under each doctor there are
oniy Twelve men. If this is the average
oi care and trouble assigned to each
member of the medical corps the war in
the philippines for this portion of the
army is little more than picnic. These
expenditures do not include the pay of
.he hospital attendants, the nurses or
the Cost of medicines.
II only needs study of the official
records to show the gross ayaconce
OF the medical department. There are
I'VE hospitals In Manila CONTAINING
LIZ men. These men are cared for
by a staff of thirty-three officers nm

forty men.
