this country would suffer to any appre.
ciable extent if trade should be made
as free between the island and the
states, as it is between the states. And
we notice that this contention is so alb.
solutely thin that Chairman Payne, of
the Ways and Means committee in the
house, in opening the debate, did not
place any Importance upon it. but rath-
er declared that the 25 per cent of the
Dingley tariff duties is needed to pay
the expenses of the government of the
island.
The position taken by President Nc
Kinley that our newly acquired posses
sions are not the same as territory with
in the borders of the United States
proper, that there is nothing in the con-
stitution which prevents this country
from acquiring new territory anywhere,
and that the constitution of the Unised
States does not apply to such territory,
until 80 extended by act of congress, is
unquestionably sound reasoning. In
fact there could hardly be any other
position taken that would not lead to
greater or less difficulties. And under
such conditions the legislation for one
would hardly be precedent for anoth-
er, for conditions are naturally entirely
different. And we further believe the
president is right in his position that
free trade between Porto Rico and the
states should be established, and that it
would not only be best for the present
condition of the people of Porto Rico,
who are really in a pitiable condition,
but that it would work no harm to any
interest in the states, and that if the ex-
tension of the customs and internal rev.
enue laws of the United States to the
island do not produce sufficient revenue
to defray the expenses of governing the
island, the United States can better af-
ford to foot the difference for few
years.

OLD SETTLER DEAD.
David j. Davis Passes Away at His Home
In This City.

Davis J. Davis, one of the very first
settlers of Cambria. and one of its most
respected citizens, died here Saturday
night at the home of his son-in-law,
Mr.. John Williams.
Mr. Davis was born Dec. II, 1914, at
L,anddewihrefi. Cardiganshire. Wales.
In early life he learned the carpenters
trade. He emigrated : to Cuyahoga
Falls. Portage county, Ohio, in 1887. In
December. 1910, when on visit to his
native land, he married Miss Hannah
Jones, daughter of an inn keeper at
Llangeiths' About 1914 he purchased
saw mill in Edinburg township, which
he operated with much success for
eleven years. In July, 1866, Mr.. Davis,
in company with David J. Williams,
visited this then wild western country
and located claims in the present town
of Cambria, to which the families re-
moved in November of that year, max
ing the long journey from Northeastern
Ohio by teams. AS an incident of that
journey, he used to tell how, when he
reached Mankato, he searched the town
all over and failed to find loaf of
bread for sale.
In October, 1859, his wife died leav-
ing him with ten young children to
fight the battle of pioneer life as best
they could. During the Indian massacre
of 1862 he lost his son. Thomas, lad of
IS years, who was killed by, the savages
within few rods of the cabin door, and
Mr.. Davis, with his nine other children
had to flee on foot distance of six
miles to soldier camp in Judson town
ship.
Having breathed the atmosphere of
the famous western reserve of Ohio for
so many years, Mr.. Davis was thor
oughly imbued with the spirit of the
old time Abolitionist. and boldly cham.
pioned every reform. He took much
interest in all public affairs, and was a
great reader of current events. He was
frequently elected to town and school
offices, and did much in shaping ,and
managing the local affairs of his com
munity. During the trying days of
1862-63 he was member of our board
of county commissioners. He was a
good conversationalist. and nothing
pleased him more than the society of a
few friends to discuss some live topic of
the day. He was man of the strictest
integrity, and much esteemed by the
community where he lived. He leaves
seven surviving children: David j.
Davis, Jr., of Anacortis, Wash. Mrs.
John R. Williams. of this city; Mrs.
John Lloyd, of Tracy, Mimi. Mrs. Da-
vid Thomas, of Lake Crystal; Herbert
Davis, of Cottonwood, Brown county;
Mrs. Margaret Davis, of Parker, South
Dakota; and Mrs. Horace e. Toothack-
er, of Fairmont.
The funeral occurred from Mr..
Williams house. on Pleasant street at
$50 Tuesday morning, and the re
mains taken to Cambria for burial.

but think that both peoples should be
on an equal basis and have no tariff
between them. If Porto Rico is part
of the United States, do not want TO
discriminate against it. It's people are
poorer than we are, and it should be
our object to develop the island as soon
as we can. To impose tariff on Its
products would be contrary to the idea
that every state is equal. 1t should be

free trade with Spain and in that way
had market for its products. Now
there are two crops Of tobacco rotting

But We never see it finished
If we sit and wish and shirk.
We traverse the longest pathway
If we only forge ahead,
Keep the goal but straight before us

If We work and work and work,
But we eve see the ending
If we sit and wish and shirk.

TOLL LON

Folks we know and we forget,
Things we do and we regret,
Flowers we pluck and cast away,
Times we sigh for yesterday,
Hopes we cherish and forsake,
Idols that we raise and break,
Sometimes sorrow, someone's song,
Thus through life we toll along.
Faces rise and disappear,
Now a smile and now a tear,
Voices sweet and voices dull,
Fancies glad and sorrowful,
Chains we forge and links we break,
joys that cluster and forsake,
Told in tears or spun in song,
Thus through life we toll along.
Grown of nettles, crown of gold,
Wreath and sackcloth, fold on fold,
Scourge and sceptre, thorn or rose,
Wheat and chaff and so it goes.
Light and shadow, night and day,
Tides that flood and ebb away,
Dirge of sadness, merry song.
Thus through life we toll along.

Facts

Any article, whatever its merit,
must be made known to the public by
means of advertising. Advertising,
however, though it can do much for q
thing, cannot do everything. 1t nav
create a sale for a time, but in order
to insure q lasting demand the thing
advertised must have solid worth.
This is the case with, Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. It has
solid worth.
Women everywhere have learned
this fact, and the result is that there
~ a lasting and absolutely unequaled
demand for it. 1t has the largest sale
of any remedy for female ills in the
world, and this has been the case for
years.
The reason for this is that Mrs.
Pinkham claims nothing that she is
not entitled to claim. She can do all
that she says she can do, and her
twenty years of experience make her
advice invaluable. Herexperience has
been not only long but worldwide,
and she has helped more women back
to health than any one else in the
world. These facts should, and do,
have immense weight with all sensible
women. Remember these are not wild
statements but solid facts.

been given to understand from the
referee that he could not compel them
to appear and testify and that the Civ
ing OF their testimony, they had been
led to believe was a matter of volition
with them. but that they stood now
ready to appear before the court as
witnesses and testify. The court held
that 1t had perfect jurisdiction in the
case to compel testimony before it's
referee, bu the contempt and punish
ment were passed temporarily until
the testimony of the witnesses should
be taken.

Newton for the prosecution in the case
was to connect Attorney Simpson with

paid him any money. and that the only
money he a ever paid him was the
sum OF S2lo, for legitimate legal fees.

been paid to Attorney Simpson, that
it had been paid in expenses and fees

lleges. He denied point blank having
known of or attended such a meeting.

were a%djudged guilty Of contempt, for
having refused to testify at the hear
ing at Dickinson and were fined $50
each. or sentenced to twenty days in

dence. it has been agreed between the
attorneys that it will be taken in the
form of dispositions at Dickinson be-
fore a notary public. Mrs. Stevens
Will go from here as s%tenographer of
the court to take the testimony. The

SELF STRONG,

The noblest soul is that, like the red

That strives to pierce it's light through

That though it fall ere now the goal
is won,
Yet rises up and struggles on again.
That is not discomfort, but nobly
calm,
That not despairs but hopes on
through it's fears
Finds in an endless striving we'll Il
balm
For pain and smiles on through it's

That in its W approval finds reward,
Soothes Sorrows subtle stingings with

And sees no chaff in it's life harvest

To us, where now we see but the

LOST.

Not every g%listening pearl of dew
Like rich set jewel, finds a rest
Upon a rose, or nesting down
Shrinks, modest, on it's velvet
breast, -,
Not every %songster's swelling throat
Pours forth it's wealth of song to
bless
Our ears, but countless carols float
Unheard in the deep wilderness.
Not every arrow finds its mark,
But sped all eager from the bow,
Too deftly feathered, floats too high,
Too lightly driven, falls below,
Not every effort finds success
But fails, as fails the archer's dart,
Not every sunbeam gilds the gloom,
Nor every song may reach the heart.
Yet, though I fail. mine effort lives,
And somewhere on a scroll en-
crossed,
The glory Of my striving is,
For nothing fruitless, nothing lost
That like a seed sown of the soul,
May fall and die in desert hot,
But would nav blossomed and borne
fruit
If fallen in some fertile spot.
