OLD MAIDS AND THE PRESIDENT.

The attack of the Old Maids ConveL- ton held in western New York g few days ago has attracted the general at tention of the country and has given the President no little uneasiness. The fact that this attack comes from the ringiet brigade of the Presidents own state is said to be particularly embarrassing to him.
 Yet there is gleam of hope for the President in the situation, dark though the skies appear ct first glimpsing. These old maids of New York saw fit to throw down the gauntlet-or should we say the lace mitt?-to all the race of man in their condemnation Of the Presidents views on the point at is. sue. The President is the father of a large family" said Miss Amelia. Hig- ginson of Honeoyo Falls. presiding of hcer of the Old Maids convention. He is not the mother of a large family Let the President grapple with the trusts. tarir and the coming election. He can safely leave the question of ba. bies in the hands of the women of this great republic"
 The obvious unfairness of this req soning can not fail to arouse indig. nant resentment in all masculine bo- sons. thus rallying voters around the beleaguered figure of President Roose- welt Miss Amelia Higginson has no right to taunt Mir. Roosevelt with be- ing a mere father instead of 9 mother. He is not responsible for his failure to enter this vale Of tears as a maternal possibility, and he has done his faith ful best in the paternal role to which nature assigned him. And, along with all other men. he must be allowed a voice in the controversy now so shrilly brought to crisis by Miss Amelia Higginson of Honeoyo Falls. Men can not safely leave the question of babies in the hands of women" It is dreadful to contemplate the result if they should bow to the decree of banishment now spoken by Amelia Higginson, spinster, and retire from the scene in more or less disgrace. Only an old maid would be guilty of de manding such thing.

FOREIGNERS ARE POURING IN.

The rapid increase in the number of foreign immigrants arriving in this country and the fact that a very large percentage of the new corners are ol some measure for the restriction of i'm. migration to the United States is i'm. perative. It may be that the fact of introducing into the last congress of a bill which embodied an illiteracy test, which however, was stricken out, has caused the noticeable increase in the number of foreign immigrants who have arrived in New York during the present month.
 Judging by the first eighteen days oi April. this month will prove to be the .record month for immigration since the department at New York has been under Federal control. In round nun bers, at the close of today's business 64,0o0 aliens passed through Ellis Island for the first eighteen days of the month, which. with those sched- uled for the closing week of the month. will bring the April record up to some thing over s0.0ee.
 May Of last year was the largest month ever recorded OF Ellis Island with a little more than s2.00o. Re ports from European sailing ports say that this year will bring over 1000, ,0oC aliens to this port.
 It is stated that very large percent. age of these immigrants are of the un- desirable class. One million aliens arriving in New York in yeari Think of it. And the most of them coming from Italy, Austria and Russia. This is not a pleasant contemplation for American workingmen.

ALWAYS THE CASE.

When crime is being covered and eui- stly men are squirming when faced by stern and impending justice, if the culprits be men of prominence, t is always to be expected that the small bone politician will be on hand to cry down and discourage honest prosecu- tions on the ground that the party will be injured" and that justice is being set in motion by no higher mo five than desire of jealous political enemies to gain advantage. The St. Louis Republic has discovered that q gang of these small-bone and schem- ing politicians are engaged in trying to raise a flag of political dust to ob- scure the guilty and faithless charac, ter of certain members of the iegisIs- ture h that state. who have been in dicted for bribery. They have thrown any number Of political sideligbts up on the inquisitions, whereas a decen, respect to the opinions of mankind would seem to require that politics be kept out of the serious business of un earthing crime.
 Commenting on this matter the Re public remarks very correctly that politics have absolutely no more place in connection with the effort now being made by honest public officials to ex pose the rottenness of boodieism 1T that state, than they would have at z funeral in relation 10 pallbeareTs

There is something doing in Jefer- son City. Missouri, the capital Of thai state. Seven indictments have been returned by the grand jury which has been investigating charges of bribery in the state legislature ever since that body adjourned Two state senators are among the indicted, one of them, Hon. Frank Paris, has been promi- nent in state politics for a number of years and is a democrat. The ident- fly of only four of the indicted has been revealed. Of course these three were members of the legislature and Che a lobyist for Royal Baking Pow. ders. Of the three legislators two are republicans and one Is democrat, Hr Paris. For several years It has been an open secret that boodling was being ;1dulged in during legislative sessions in Missouri. The bold deter imitation of the present democratic ad ministration in that state. headed by Gov Dockeny, to put stop to this legislature perfdy is receiving the hearty support of the people of that state and the chances are very favor able for landing few of the. bribe takers and bribegivers behind pris on bars.

h Tucson the people have just voted to bond that school district for the purpose of building another public school building which will cost sI5.. 900, tbe amount of the bond issue. II has only been two years since that city erected two handsome warc school buildings and the fact that another is now required to accommo date the children who desire to attend school, shows that Tucson has been In, creasIng its population at rapid rate during recent years. Not only has Tucson made rapid growth in popu lation. but the substantial buildings erected there during the past two years is evidence that the unusual prosperity has resulted from the ener gy of the business men of the place Tucson can now show as many sub stantial and handsome business houses and residences as any city of Its sizs in the southwest. The adobe" was a characteristic mark of the old puee
 10 for something like three hundred years. but in the business section oi the city the adobe has given away tc handsome stone and brick structures
 The people of Tucson. like the people of every other section of Arizona ars always ready to provide necessary schools for the accommodation of a,
 children who may desire to entel
 them. May Tucson continue to ad
 vance and. may her popularity ans
 prosperity be everlasting.

THAT LARGE SPOT

Little Importance To 1t.

Prof. Joseph :. AmeS. af the Johns

sun SPOTS axe always III existence, but
every eleventh year they are more pom
inert than during the intervening period.
Their origin is not known. 1t has been
supitH "A that they are produced by the
planets in much the same way as tides
are caused. The plpWotS in their Ievwlr-
tons around the sun approach it much
more c.0-V,y At one time than ut another.

The spot consists of Il raised portion
of the surface of the sun. of which the
outlying 7lol1io.l> are int a>ply heated,
whie the ccl1rc is cool.
Tine present Slnat ol the sun is elid to
lac 10000 mi.t.: wide. At the Hopkins
Observatory special attcition is given
to the stars. but the sun is not watched.
Consequently. Professor Amc> has NOT

About three wears ago my sister was so
badly affected with heart trouble and neu-
ralGia of the heart that we did not expect her
to live. Although we had a frst-class ply
slcian she grew worse under tn treatment.
She had a swollen dropSical look and had
frequent spells of neuralGi ia pain at her heart
when she would render the most heart-rend-
ing means and shreks. At times the pain
would 60 from her h, art to her head when
lump would appear on her temple half as
large as an egg. One night she got up in
bed and ran into the back yard crying with
pain; she was not conscious of it, however,
and was brought back to the house by neigh
bors. | bought for her bottle each of Dr.
Miles Nervine and Heart Cure which helped
her greatly. She afterward used some FIVE
or six bottles and has never had a spell since
had used your medicine with great benefit

BONE FOOD

Soft and crooked bones mean
bad feeding. Call the disease

SCOTS Emulsion is the right
treatment for soft bones in
