Sufferers from this horrible rnalady
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant In the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its APP
pearance-or q swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part of the body,
gives the first warning
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma-
uently all the poisonous virls must be
eliminated from the blood-every vestage
IF it driven out. This S. S. S. does, and
s the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns
Cancer begins often In small way, as the

Sow to the Spirit Now.
But, my sinful friend. even with al
your sinful past is that right? Is
that what Christ would have you do
IL you had Maynard boy. and he had
run away from home and trampied
upon your bleeding heart for many
years, would you want him TO stay
away and die hardened against you
and bitter merely because he had beer
sinful and hayward? No, If you
knew where he was dying today. you
would take the very first train to him
You would go, If necessary, without
even change of garments. You would
walk up and down the train while II
was in motion, because your anxiety
would not let you sit still, and you
would rush into the hospital and rush
to the ward and throw yourself by his
bed just to give him kiss of love and

brother, will you let the cross be the

take the good seed in your hand and
go forth TO sow to the Spirit, so that
you may reap life everlasting?
When John Todd was lying upon his
dying bed, he had a strange vision. An
angel seemed to lead him up and ND
until the dying man stood upon the
heights Of great mountain. Then the
angel asked him, Dying man. dost
thou see anything?" And as John
Todd shaded his eyes to look he saw
away off in the distance a fiend incar.
nate. The face OF that fiend had upon
1t the look OF unutterable woe. The
features were so hideous and the suf-
ferings of this lost spirit were so great
that John Todd hid his face In his
hands, crying: Enough, enough! !
cannot look any longer. Then the
angel turned and said, ''That lost spirit,
. dying man, would have been your
own had not your soul been cIeansed
by the blood of the Lamb" Then the
angel OF the Lord said, Look, O dy-
Ing man, lookw And as John Todd
lifted his eyes again, behold, there was
seen another spirit. 1t was garmented
with a robe as white as the driven
snow. The eyes were as loving as the
purest love could express. The lips
were moving In joyful praise. The
hands were clasped about the figure of
cross. Then again spake the angel
OF the Lord, Dying man. that is to be
your redeemed spirit, your spirit cleans
ed by Christs blood, your spirit which
shall never die" Then John Todd
awoke. He said he knew not whether
he had seen a vision or had been talk
Ing face to face with Christ
So, like John Todd's vision, this SER
mon teaches two lessons: The one

AssAYino a GOLD BRICK.

GAIT LAKES BICYCLE RIDERS
- now have chance to assay the
gold brick which was handed to them
by the willy Mr. Lippman last fall
few days before the election. It viii
be remembered that as a consideration
for the support Of the Republican ticket
by the wheelmen- a pledge was made
that the city council would pass an
ordinance providing for the construc-
ton of bicycle paths to be paid for by
q special tax to be levied on all wheels.
The Wheelmens Protective. associa-
ton swallowed bait. hook and all
It's members were told that they were
being Buncoed. but they refused to
believe it. They were informed that
the Republicans. If elected, would
ascertain from the city attorney that
the proposed ordinance would be Illegal
and that they would let the matter die
'a-borning." The expected happened.
The brick has been assayed and found
TO be 100 per cent pure-hot air. The
wheelmen may gnash their teeth and
rage but they have nobody but them
selves to blame for the predicament in
which they are placed and they are
entitled to no sympathy.
Tn this instance the committee on
municipal laws entertains a sudden
and profound respect for the views OF
its constitutional adviser The bicycle
path ordinance, according to the pres
ent programme will be showed into
deep. dark pigeon hole, there to remain
tin time shall be no more. II the Re
pubiicans really want to redeem their
pledge, why are they so willing to ac-
cept the view Of the city attorney. or
in this instance, the assistant city at
torney, without question? It is prac-
tically the first time they have done
the legal department that honor.
The city attorney advised the council
that its proposition to raise the salary
Of Chief Devine and some Of his men
was unconstitutional. He was very
earnest on this point, but the council
passed the salary ordinance just the
same. And a court of competent juris-
dictiOn has said that the city attorney
was wrong. Evidently the council is
also satisfied that he was wrong. for
it has decided 70 take no appeal from
the decision In the case, of the Utah
lake pumping project the city attorney
warned the council with vigOr and
earnestness that the city had no legal
or constitutional right to enter into it.
Did the lawgivers. lawmakers and
aw-translators in the council regard
that opinion? Not for a minute. The
veto of the mayor, grounded on the
views Of the attorney. was overridden
as promptly as q vote could be taken
The council IS consistently inconsistent
when it accepts the opinion on the
bicycle ordinance as final. IN the mean
while The Herald. without any desire
TO be unkind, cannot refrain from say
ing to the members OF the late Wheel

traction Of the currency lie at opposite
poles of the financial system, but both
are equally bad. There is such thing

SCHOOL Book CONTROVERSY.

HE HERALD is in receipt Of a COM
munication from Professor J, H.
Paul questioning the good faith of the
committee which investigated the
charge that publishers are charging
this state extortionate prices for the
books adopted as standard in the pub
lic schools. II has also received a
communication on the other side of
the controversy and declined to pub
1ish IT,
1t does not seem profitable to con-
tinue the discussion of the matter on
either side The books have been
chosen by people who are regarded as
honest. capable educators and officials
familiar with the situation. The at
tempt to throw suspicion on their iudg-
ment. or their loyalty to the schools
Of the state, is based on an ex parte
statement. The charge Of extortion has
been investigated by a COMMITTEES
which is certainly entitled to as much
credence as Professor Paul, and it is
only fair to presume that the COM
mittee's members have the welfare of
the public school system and its rev.
cnues at heart quite az much as he.
The Herald knows nothing of the
merits OF the case, except as set forth
in these communications, and it is Un-
willing u reflect on the members of
the committee which selected text
books. or the committee of investiga-
ton, without direct evidence TO sus-
tain a reflection. on the contrary. il
takes this occasion TO express its be
lief that the selections made have been,
fin the main, judicious and satisfac-
tory, and the motives governing the
committee entirely honest.

THE PACIFIC CABLE.

IN DISCUSSING the Pacific cable
L question it is not necessary to point
out the advantages of such a line. They
are so we'll understood and so gener-
ally recognized that it may be taken
for granted that the sentiment on this
point is unanimous. The only point on
which a difference can arise and on
which congress is now divided is as
to whether the cable should be laid by
the United States government or by
a private corporation.
The chief argument which has been
advanced against national ownership
and control is that the United States
has no right TO interfere with private
enterprise. It is urged that company
las already been formed for the pur-
pose of connecting the United States
and the Philippine islands by cable and
that the capitalists composing this corr
poration should be allowed to work out
their plans unhampered. In this con-
nection il is interesting to note that
congressman who fully endorse the in
reference by this nation in the gov
eminent, the business and the lives Of
100000 people, are first to resent the
proposition to interfere with a few rich
men who seek to further enrich them
selves.
According to reliable estimates the
cost of cable to the Philippines by
way Of Honolulu viii be not far from
$4,000. 600, For nearly four years the
annual tolls paid by the United States
on official dispatches have undoubtedly
been sufficient to pay a reasonable in
terest on the cost of the line. It is
within the bounds OF reason to suppose
that the government would save
enough in tolls over its own line to pay
the cost Of operating it. That would
give it the commercial business, Of
which there is now large and con-
stantly increasing voIu9.e, for a sink
I ing fund with which to retire any con-
struction bonds that might be neces-
sary.
But, aside from the business phase
OF the question, a matter of public pol
/ icy is involved. A Pacific cable would
( necessarily be in the nature of a mOnop-
oily, at least for a considerable period.
It is against public policy to grant
a monopoly Of so valuable a character
to any private corporation. such a
corporation could and would fix charges
to suit its owners and the people would
be required to pay the interest, not
only on the legitimate investment but
on a Hmitless amount Of watered
stock.
Government ownership and control
would mean popular control. 1t would
mean generous reductions in rates from
time to time and a liberal policy to-
ward all patrons. One more point,
which is not absolutely vital, is still
worthy Of serious consideration. If the
Pacific cable is laid by private citizens,
the wires win be drawn in English fac
tories and the construction done by
British vessels. This much was made
clear in the congressional debate. II
the government lays the cable, every
foot of it viii come from American fac
tories and every foot win sink into thC
water from an American ship.

same thing.
