 The report continues; As the differ ence between the large cities and the rest of the country in the northern states is affected by the presence in these cities of large numbers of illiterate i'm migrants, so in the southern states the same difference may be affected by the presence of the negro population.
 The report concludes as follows
 Among the native whites the differ enees between the population of large cities in the north and in the south. in the matter of illiteracy are comparative ly slight, but in the smaller cities and rural districts of the south, consider able percentage of the adult population have not acquired the elements of book education.

compromised excerting on the basis that the government wins.
 "Of course. gentlemen, nc laws amount to anything unless they are administered honestly and fearlessly.
 Then I believe I am not going to say I am sure of it. but I believe it Is pos sible to frame national legislation which shall give us more power than we have now; at any rate over corporations doing an interstate business. 1 cannot guard 1t because in the past 1t has more than once happened that we have got laws on the statute books which those who made them intended to mean one thing and when they came up to decide it was found that the intention had not been successfully put into effect But l be- lieve that additional legislation can be had. I think we have got to make up our minds to the fact that no matter what our reverence to the past may be. our duty to the present and future will force us to see that more power Is cona ferred upon the national administration.
 When the power has been conferred 1t will rest with the national government to exercise 1t. At present we are going to do the best we can with strawless bricks, but remember they are bound to be stra wless."

 1.-TWO years ago my grandson suf- fered with hemorrhaaes of the bowels and he was treated by different doc tors, but without cure. We quit all other treatment and began to use Pe- runa, and after the use of three bot ties he seemed to be quite well. He Is able now to walk six miles to school every day. Peruna has certainly worked wonders for him and shall not hesitate to recommend lt."-Mrs. 6. L. Tinker.
 Hemorrhage of the bowels is frequently the result of cs tarrh of the bowels. The oatarrh produces slight ulcers. and these ulcers eat their way through and cut off the small veins or arteries. It is useless to try to stop this hemorrhage without trying to cure the catarrh. This explains why 1t is that Peruna makes so many cures of hemorrhage of the bowels per manently. Peruna cures the catarrh and

gate to represent his state at the Ma
tional Live Stock Association which
meets in Kansas City Jany 13 to 16

casion to come a little ahead of time
which would give him an opportu-
nifty to drop down into old Bates for
a few days visit with his mother and
many friends. Since locating in Wv
omiDg Mr.. Wolfe has become a large
land owner and is also extensively
engaged in the stock business. Asa
stock raising country Mr.. Wolfe is EN-
thusiastic over the future prospects
OF Wyoming and especially the north
part in which is situated Sheridan.
Big Horn and Johnson counties. and
to back his praises of the fertility Of
the country he brought back with
him samples OF vegetables, fruits and
honey, which for quality and flavor
certainly can't be beat. The climate
and water, said Mr.. Wolfe, can not
he surpassed. The country is settled
by Iowans End Missourians and their
hospitality is unbounded. Crops are
raised by irrigation and to supply
water the government has engineers
at work ditching the land. Mr.. Wolfe
formerly resided in Batescounty and
held the important Office OF surveyor
anu bridge commissioner and Later
was appointed by the governor state
