A writer in New York paper says
that the London Times at one time
held place in journalism that no pa
per ever before or since attained. But
this writer says it made bad blunder
in 1S61-1865 by allowing English dis
like of this country to obscure it's judg-
ment of the facts. It made just the
same mistake in its treatment of Mr.
Parnell, where it allowed the Eng
hshman's dislike of the Irish people
to distort it's Judgment. 1T was very
confident of its power to prove that the
Irish leader had put himself within
the reach of the law; but its proofs
were series of forged documents,
which any shrewd judge of character
and Of fact would have detected in
half an hours examination. In fact,
the weight actually attached to them
by the public grew out of the conf
dence that the Times would not have
risked it's reputation upon them, with
out having verified them thoroughly,
and that improbable as they seemed
to any one who knew Mr. Parnell, they
must be genuine or they never would
have appeared III court under such
auspices. Their complete exposure
through Mr. Egan, and the confession
of their detected author, put the Times
into the worst hole it ever filed. Here
was the infallible journal shown to
have been the victim Of a feeble con-
spiracy to blacken a public mans
character, and ready to adopt false
charges against a man it hated, with
out exercising even ordinary discretion
in sitting the evidence. "...".:

Madison. Wis, Dec. 16.--The. annual
apportionment of the common school fund
income was announced by State Super
intendent Cary to-day. This money is
derived from the seven tenths of a mill
tax on every dollar of assessed value of all
property in the state, together with $780,
900 from the railroad license fees and the
receipts from fines in certain suits and
from the sale of state lands. -
The fund apportioned amounted this
year to $1,400 6fo.77 Of which $1,O27 22O
was received from the seven-tenths of a
.'lill tax. 100000 from the railroad license
fees and O,612.7 from fines and other
sources of income. Last year the total
amount apportioned was $1.6S1, 626.10, but
the rate of taxation then was 1 mill ON
a dollar Instead of en-tenths Of a
mill, the reduction having been made at
last winters session Of the legislature.
The apportionnent is based on the
! number of persons Of school age in the
state on June 80 preceding the date OF
distribution. The rate Of apportionment
to each person Of school age is $1.S47
this year. as against $2.236 last year. The
money apportioned is sent to the different
counties and by them distributed among
the different school districts.
AS the ratio in the southern part of
the state between the number of, persons
of school age and the. assessed value of
taxable property is considerably more
than that between such persons and the
assessed value Of taxable property in
the northern part Of the state, the north
ern counties have by far the better end
of the deal and often receive much more
than the amount of their state tax, while
the southern counties often receive much
less than they contribute. The money
apportioned each county will be paid by
the state next February, after the rail
road and other taxes have been received

MA AZURE provides everything nee
" essary for human existence.
- The more we penetrate the Sc
crets of nature the more we find
to wonder at and to convince US that the
closer we live to the laws of nature the
healthier are our lives. The British and
French medical authorities have recently
stated that the people in those countries
are deteriorating in physical makeup.
The cause is violation of the laws of
nature. If we keep our body full of
alcohol that forces the heart into extra
duty, weakening the stomach and par
alyzing digestion; if we do not take the
proper time for eating, digesting and
sleeping; if we do not breathe pure air;
if, in word, we do the very things that
nature intended we should not do, we
will have to pay for it. Instinct teaches
animals what is best for them, but man
manufactures many noxious things, such
as alcohol, to steal away our bodily
health and strength We can live long
lives if we keep the body in health,
strong to resist the attack of disease
germs. Practice preventive medicine,
in keeping the blood pure and the prin-
cipa1 organs active. Do not repose in
the false idea that some tonic, made
largely OF alcohol, will give you strength;
it is only a false strength at best and
means the shrinking up of the red blood

PANAMA is SOUND.
EX-POpulist Congressman from South
Dakota, Now I, Socialist, Approves
Republican Policies as to the 18TH
mus, and Says the World Can Find
No Fault with Our Recognition.

Special to The Journal.
Deadwood, S. D.. Dec. 16.-Ex- Con-
gresham Freeman Knowles has had pub
llshed a signed article indorsing the posi-
ton of the present administration in the
Panama case. This is considered remark
able from the fact that MI Knowles
served in congress as a pOpulist, has
since allied himself with the socialists
and has been bitterly opposed to the re-
publican administration all along.
Mr.. Knowles tells the story of events
leading UP to the present situation. In
1916 the United States entered into a
treaty guaranteeing the sovereignty Of
New Granada over the isthmus of Pan
anna. This treaty was scrupulously adj
hered to by this country. The present
so called republic of Colombia succeeded
to the sovereignty, and this country has
been faithful in keeping the letter of this
obligation which Colombia had inherited.
He contends that our obligation TO
Panama is exactly the same it was
to Colombia when it succeeded New Gran
ada as the sovereign, and says: THE
world can find no more fault with our
recognition Of Panama's sovereignty over
this international highway than it could
when we recognized Colombias sovereign
ty over the same territory From the in
dustrial standpoint the canal will be equal
/ to an invention that would add one-third
to the output of all industry. From the
standpoint of national defense, it means
the doubling of the efficiency of both our
army and navy ~
