The witnesses who were expected
by the board of straddIebugs to
blast the reputation of Schley
should have gotten together before
going on the stard. There lie
enough discrepancy in their testi-
mony 80 far to show that each is
guarded by his own particular
brand of prejudice, and that the
opinion of one does not coincide
with the opinion of the other.
They are all agreed that Sohley
did not do right, but each thinks
right what the other regards as

EpigrammatiCal Extracts from
President ROOSeyeltS Message
TRIBUTE TO MCKINLEY.

1t is not too much to say that at
the time of President McKinley's
death he was the most widely loved
man in all the United States; while
we have never had any public man
of his position who has been so
wholly free from the bitter animosi-
ties incident to public life. His po-
litical opponents were the first to
bear the heartiest and most generous
tribute to the broad kindness of
nature, the sweetness and gentleness
of character which so endeared him
to his close associates. To stand
ard of lofty integrity in public life
he united the tender affections and
home virtues which are all-import-
ant in the makeup of national char
arcter. A gallant soldier in the
great war for the union, he also shone
as an example to all our people be-
cause of his conduct in the most sa-
red and intimate of home relations.
There could be no personal hatred
of him, for he never acted with
aught but consideration for the well
fare of others.

A MOTHERS MEDICINE.

There is never any question of the value Of
of those who have used it as preparative for
maternity and for the reason that every woman
who has experienced maternity has a definite
standard of comparison by which she can
measure the difference ia her condition with or
without the health giving aid of 'Favorite Pre-
scription."
For example, Mrs. S. E. Rose, Of Big Otter,
Clay Co., West Va, writes DR.. Pierce as follows
II am the mother of five children and have been
as high as Sdays in the doctors hands and never
less than two days at any time until the birth of
my last child. Then had used two bottles of
'Favorite Prescription and the doctor was with
me only two hours"
Every mother will appreciate the force of
that testimony. There is no chance for error or
forgetrulness in such a case. 1t Is plain state
ment of fact; one hundred and ninety-two hours
of suffering reduced to two hours by the use of
"Favorite Prescription
This shows what help "Favorite Prescription"
renders in extreme cases. In the ordinary case
of childbirth the use of this medicine makes
the baby's advent practically painless. Thous-
ands of women testify to this. Mrs. W. ]. Kid
der, of Hill Dale Farm, Enosburg, Vt, says
that she was in fast failing health and with the
trial of motherhood before her, when she began
the use Of "Favorite Prescription" The result
was, to quote the exact words OF her letter: Il
began to improve Immediately: my health be-
came excellent and could do all my own work.

IRRIGA TON.

1t is as right for the national gov
eminent to make streams and rivers
of the arid regions useful by engin-
eering works for storage as to make
useful the rivers and harbors of the
humid region by engineering works
of another kind. The
reclamation and settlement of the
arid lands will enrich every portion
of our country, just as the settle
ment of the Ohio and Mississippi
valley brought prosperity to the At
lantic States. In the
arid states the only right to water
which should be recognized is that

FORESTRY.

The preservation of our forests is
an imperative business necessity.
We have come to see clearly thai
whatever destroys the forest, except
to make way for agriculture, threat
ems our well being. g.
The forest reserves should be set
apart forever for the use and benefit
of our people as whole, and not
sacrificed to the shortsighted greed
of few. -. The forests
are natural reservoirs. By restrain
ing the streams in food and replen-
ishing them in drouth they make
possible the use of waters otherwise
wasted. They prevent the soil from
washing, and so protect the storage
reservoirs from filling up with silt.
Forest conservation is, therefore, an
essential condition of water conser-
walton.

Every generation has troubles
enough of its own; 1t should not be

over and over the same questions
that divided parties fifty years
ago. Questions once thresh d out
should stay so, the wheat and the

American knew in lS4o that Protec-

ing especially the worker for wages,
and that free trade and all tenden-
cies to it took business away from
the country and SO impoverished all
but very few. Why, then, must
these lessons be learned over and
over every few years? Every new
experience of the familiar facts
scores deeper into the nation and
causes greater suffering than before.
Why should any party, for sheer
partisan advantage, seek to unsettle
the public mind with exploded theo-
ries? Let the american system"
remain henceforth the unchallenged
policy of the nation. Such, indeed,
would be a course of true patriotism.

the wisdom of its purposes, but has
also shown, possibly that some of
its requirements are wrong, certain
