Chickens come home to roost.
This time it is Bartlett Sinclair,
the chief director of the martial
law outrages committed in the
Occur d'Alenes a few years ago.
1t was he who arrested our people
by communities, regardless OF
any criminal charge. 1t was he
who herded the people in box
cars and the bull pen and refus-
ed them the right of trial. He
was the idol of every prosecutor
and the joy of every labor hater
in the country. Last week he
took poison in the office of the
attorney general at Manila. But
his attempt at suicide was not
successful and he will be prose
cuted for the misrepresentation
of the government funds .-Wal-

Danger of Colds and Grin.

The greatest danger from colds
and grip is their resulting in
pneumonia. If reasonable care is
used, however, and Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy taken, all
danger will be avoided. Among
the tens of thousands who have
used this remedy for these dis
eases we have yet to learn of a
single case having resulted in
pneumonia, which shows conclu-
sively that it is a certain proven
tive of that dangerous disease.
1t will cure a cold or an attack of
grip in less time than any other
treatment. 1t is pleasant and
safe to take. For sale by j. P.

There is another big scanda.
involving the chief law officer Of
the Post Office Department. A
few fraudulent get rich quick
concerns have from time to time
been put on the fraud list when
they are unable to nab the gul.
liable millions through the mails.
But the large majority of these
concerns are untouched although
the attention of the Post Office
Department has been call called
to them again and again. They
are known to everybody except
the astute detectives of the Post
Office Department whose duty it
as to find and prosecute them.
Now it appears that a brother
in-law of the officer of the de-
partment whose duty it is to
bring these concerns to Justice
has been connected with one of
the largest of these fraudulent
concerns.

why ? Because when our eyes
are open to behold the wondrous
things of this vast universe, we
see it to be a great consistent
scheme moving by countless eff
forts ever towards a greater
light, and hope, and progress;
and in that knowledge is peace;
for those who ire imperfect now
shall in the order of things some
day, somewhere have their full
chance to be all that they ought
to be. Each intelligent being
shares in all that has been so far
done; each shares in all that is
yet to come. In this thought
dwells the belief that all imper-
feet persons and things and ideas
move forward in contributing to-
ward perfection, so that every
motion of humanity gets dignity
and hope to it. The imperfect
efforts are not to be despised,
for they n ever building the
platform of embarkation for the
next generation; SO that imper-
lection is eternally being used by
greater perfection, the greater
impossible without the less. If
this were not so then every sol
der who dies before the triumph
has died in vain; every sailor
that perishes in striving to save
his ship and her passengers is
himself a vain thing because he
also was not saved.
Thus when we get a right
sense of our own dignity and the
possibility of our own feebleness
Itself being of aid to the worlds
strength, we get a peace that
rises superior to the petty an-
loyances of daily life, and makes
9ven lowly doing and unrecog-
lized living something that needs
10 apology or excuse; the whole
title of it being essential to the
worlds whole greatness.

| actually cured myself with one
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy" says Frank w. Perry,
Editor of the Enterprise, Shorts
vile, N. Y. This is the honest
truth. 1 at times kept from
coughing myself to pieces by
taking a teaspoonful of this rem
edy, and when the coughing
spell would come on at night /
would take a dose and it seemed
that in the briefest interval the
cough would pass off and I would
go to sleep perfectly free from
cough and its accompanying
pains. To say that the remedy
acted as a most agreeable sur
prise is putting it very mildly. I
had no idea that it would or
could knock out the grip, simply
because | had never tried it for
such a purpose, but it did, and it
seemed with the second attack of
coughing the remedy caused it
to not only be of less duration,
but the pains were far less
severe, and l had not used the
contents of one bottle before Mr..
Grip had bid me adieu." For sale

RANDOM THOUGHTS.

we behave like those odd mic
of Japan that start straight for
ward and then whirl in circles
We see ahead something tina
shall be all in all to us and striv
towards it only to be swaye'
aside by something that divert
the attention elsewhere. We ar,
often restless to be doing just TO
our own sakes and our own hon
ors. We strive for selfish reas
ons only to find results do not
bring peace or satisfaction
Nothing attained satisfies abso
lutely even unselfish workers
how far will it be from satisfying
self-seeking strivers.
Striving is good for us, if only
1t be consistent and if only it be
unselfish; striving caused by a
sense of responsibility for being
here in the world; striving be-
cause of a feeling of oneness with
an ever restless humanity-such
strivings are good whether or
not we attain the goal we start
for. If we fall by the way it is
good, providing still our faces
and our hearts are towards the
goal.
Herein Is peace for the restless
heart-the conviction tn all work
begun is liable to be left incom-
plete. that all knowledge strain
ed after will fall short of the alb
solute, that all service attempted
cannot be perfect-the peace is
here-that because of our human
kinship we will fare forth to do
because the the thing to be done
is something that ought to be
done by someone. When that
that feeling is within, then comes
the c~ompulsion based upon the
conscious conscience that a duty
seen is the opportunity and com
mand to the one who sees it.
The man or woman who feels
compelled by forces within to do
a work, is not held back by a
sense of feebleness. Feebleness
is there, of course, but feebleness
when expended in the right d.
rection is strong in the right and
therefore no longer feeble; else
would no good work ever be at
tempted for no strength is equal
to the whole worlds work and
needs.
Peace of heart does not come
getting there. 1t comes from the
inner knowledge of o sane at
tempt to do the right thing.
Peace does not hide away
somewhere in a remote recess of
the world, nor does it dwell away
from the world alone by itself.
OF all unwise things done by
those who m foolish, the I'M
wisest is to be yer yearning for
some far away field of endeavor;
if there were magic in an OPP
portunity that is sufficiently re-
mote. The nearby duty is the
one usually that needs to be done
and the nearest person to that
duty is the one for it. Yet full
often the restless, unpeaceful
one yearns for the distant noun
tain top of broader view and duty
and looks clear over the next
step which leads to 1.-THE duty
at hand.
Peace is a thing within, super
Tor to all outer storms and buffet
ings, just as the CLEAN of the
lighthouse is steady even when
the tempest outside roars-none
OF these things moye it's seren-
OF shining. None or rever-
sails moves the spirit that knows
why it strives and for what bene-
ut to other human beings it is
Peace within lives and reigns
though not all outside goes well
with ourselves or others. And

Mark Twain is for an exclusive heaven-not
very original doctrine, by the way; there good
many of us gho would limit the blessings Of the
hereafter Not that Mark isn't fond Of society on
the contrary, he has a rather cosmopolitan taste.
But he insists upon drawing certain lines, and
somehow the idea Of the squat person with arti-
fetal wings jars upon his conception Of Paradise.
Mark even goes 20 the extent Of excluding Dowie
from the other place, and maintains that should he,
Mark happen TO go there he viii blackhal the 9TH
er If necessary. Marks more serious apprehensions
seem TO be based on this latter contingency.
Here appears Il remarkable inconsistency. II
Marks calculations are true concerning both him
self and Dowie, why bar the latter from his logical
and just desertsE If Mark feels his calling and
election sure and is equally certain about what
ought to and will happen TO DOwie, why not let
Dowie get what's coming to him: Dowie would
Eever bother him.
The rub seems TO be that Mark isn't altogether
sure of himself. He doesn't want to take any
chances. However natural his uneasiness may be,
his attitude is not fair Dowie Dowic simply can't
be barred out of both departments of the hereafter
In justice IL he can't get the best Of it, he is at
least entitled to the worst of it. 1t locks very much
as if Mark wanted an option on both places that
he might anticipate Dowie's coming. either way.
On the whole. its selfish and not a little unreasoG-
able.
