RUSSIA says she hasn't changed
her plans in reference to the evac-
uation of Manchooria, but her forces
still remain there ito keep order"
She says she has not thought of re-
stricting the trade of the United
States or other nations, or of closing
any open doors And dispatches
from Japan officially report that
Russia has completely evacuated the
Shing King province of MaIchooria.
Yet all this availeth nothing, so long
as Russia holds Manchooria by armed
force Shing King Province is the
province east of Peking and adjoin-
ing the northwestern boundary OF
Korea. If, as the Japanese dispatch
says, this has been completely evac
uated, Russia may be acting in good
faith, or covering some sinister de
sign.

GEN. MILES, in his report of his
visit to the Philippines, worked over
lot of old stuff that was gotten up
by the Democrats for political pur-
poses two or three years ago, charg-
ing great outrages and cruelty by
American officers and soldiers. Either
General Miles dishonors his uniform
by falsely charging such things upon
American officers and soldiers; or
knowing what he charges to be facts,
he should have ordered the court
martial of the guilty ones and
brought them to punishment. He
puts up poor face about the desc
late condition of some country he
passed through, as If such desolation
were not always the result of war,
and takes the word of savages and
semi-civilized enemies, who are al
ways notorious for their lying,
against the sworn testimony of his
own comrades in arms.

ELLA Wheeler Wilcox holds up this
pleasant view of the world as she
sees it, which we commend to the
army of grumblers. She speaks
words of wisdom:
l believe the world is in better
condition and humanity in the main
is better off, kinder and less selfish
than ever since the history of man
began.
1 believe greater portion of labor
ing people receive better wages and
are more intelligent than ever in the
worlds history.
1 believe there are good, noble and
unselfish people among the wealthy
and the cultured, who came by their
money honestly, and use it wisely,
and l believe there are more just
laws than there are sensible people
to live by them.
| This does not signify that think
Everything is all right in the world
and that we need do nothing to i'm.
prove conditions.
1t has been through the constan,
agitation of reformers and educators
that cannibalism and slavery have
been driven from different portions
of the globe.
The cruelties of the inqusition, the
corruption of courts, ruled by con
cubines and favorites. no longer ex
ist. Progress, represented by think
ing men and women, has made these
conditions impossible today.
Progress is still on the way, and
thinking men and women still are
the messengers of a better time t.
come.
Many things must change befor,
the world becomes a comfortabl,
lplace for the majority of its inhabi
tants.
That majority of the people mus
change, more than all else. 1t mus

What does 1t profit a woman II she gain the
whole world of knowledge and lose her own
health? Young women students, school
teachers, eager. ambitious, and full of en-
ergy. very often neglect their health in the
struggle to gain education. They eat insufi-
cient food. and at irregular hours, they allow
irregularity of the womanly functions to be
established, and the result is that they be-
come chronic invalids with all their educa-
tion practically worthless. There is n plain
road back to health for such as these, mark
ed by the feet of thousands. 1t Is the use of
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for
diseases of the stomach and digestive and
nutritive organs, and Dr. Pierces Favorite
