It is rank foolishness to attempt
to remove sallowness or gressiness
of the skin by the use of cosmetics,
or "local" treatment, as advocated
by the "beauty doctors. The only
safe and sure way that woman can
improve her complexion is by purify
ing and enriching the blood, which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat of disease and blood
pollution. Green's August Flower
acts directly on the liver, cleanses
and enriches the blosd, purifies the
complexion. 1t also cures consti-
patton, biliousness, nervousness, and
induces refreshing sleep. A single
bottle of August Flower has been
known to cure the most pronounced
and distressing case of dyspepsia
and digestion. New trial size bottle

Presidential Timber Needed.

The persistence of the notion that
any second-rate man is good enough
for the vice presidency is discourag-
ing. Ia spite of the fact that five of
the twenty men elected to the chief
magistry have died in Office, and
were succeeded by those elected as
vice president, and in spite of the
fact that in three of the five cases
the power fell into the hands of men
who were not up to the presidential
standard, with results more or less
disastrous, hardly a fortnight passes
that some local celebrity is not
doomed for the vice presidential
place on the Republican national
ticket. A full dozen or more of this
sort OF candidate have been mention
ed; but rarely has one who measures
up to the proper standard, one who
could be trusted with the govern
ment, received any notice. Yet, as
the Pioneer Press has had occasion
to remark heretofore, there will be
less excuse for putting mediocre
man on the ticket with President
Roosevelt than there has been for
years. Often the exigencies of con-
vention politics are such that the
second place is used as a sop to
contingent or traded
off for support. The practice is re.
prehensible, yet it is possible to offer
at least weak excuse for it. But
there is likely to be no situation OF
the sort in next years convention.
The presidential nomination will
not in all probability be in dispute.
1t will be given by reclamation.
The convention will not have to con-
slider factions and bargains in select.
ing a suitable vice presidential candi-
date. 1t can choose the nominee on
his merits. The place, it is true, is
not one that men of energy, initiative
and of great ability are likely to
seek. As an honor it is more lightly
esteemed than it ought to be, and it's
powers are practically nothing. But
it is nevertheless a place that should
be filled with the best type of man
in public life, as it was up to the
time of the first Harrison. John
Adams, Thomas Jefferson and Mar
tin Van Buren, served as wee presi-
dent before becoming president and
and there is no reason why the
wholesome maxim that no man who
is not fit to be president is fit to be
vice president should not be res tored.
The modern theory that the vice
presidency is convenient shelf for
the ambitious and troublesome. or
sop for the disgruntled is too danger
Gus and too pernicious to be tolera-
ted. But the only way in which
this theory can be combatted suc-
cessfully is to nominate men of such
recognized ability that the vice presi.
dency will be held in esteem and
again be looked on as a possible step
toward the presidency. If fit men
do not wish to serve they should, as
Roosevelt was, be forced. Pioneer

THE PANAMA CANAL.

THERE seems to be no such
thing as doing business salts
factorily with the Columbian
Senate, and at the present time
the building of the canal under
American supervision and con-
troll as far distant as at
ary time during the past few
years. After fighting the mat
ter out through congress and
placing the power with the
president to authorize the work,
the Columbian government ties
things up tighter than ever.
The Chicrgo Inter Ocean hkens
the proceedings to a "Cloud
Still Over U.s." and has avery
good editorial upon the subject,
which is reproduced herewith:
sThe Panama cloud is still
over us. The wind has veered,
but the cloud is still there. The
Columbian senate has rejected
the canal treaty, but we are told
that the lower house OF the
Colum bian Congress may in the
end compel reversal OF this
decision.
"President Marroquin is IN
favor of the treaty, but we are
told that the congress distrusts
him and are maneuvering to de-
lay ratification until after the
next presidential election IN
Columbia, so thatGeneral Reyes,
sic rival candidate, may have
the credit of closing canal ne
gotations and inaugurating
great enterprise under Ameri-
can control.
"This is the same old story
anything to secure delay. To
make the canal the subject of
Columbian political intrigue
certainly will result in postpon-
ing the construction of any
isthmian canal. If the ratifica-
ton of the canal treaty depends
on the issue of political intrigues
in Columbia, it is safe to say no
canal will ever be built.
ga few months ago it was said
the canal treaty negotiated by
President Marroquin and our
State Department would be rati-
fed because Marroquin was in
favor of the canal, and because
he would have great influence
with Congress. When it came
to the test he had no influence
at ali with the senate, and Gen
eral Reyes, who was also credited
with fayoring the treaty, was re-
ported to have said that be would
inaugurate a revolution rather
than have the treaty in it's pres
ent shape ratified.
"Now til is said that Congress
will not ratify the treaty because
Marroquin is usurper and is
distrusted, while General Reyes,
to be elected President in De-
cember, is man of affairs, a
man who knows just what the
United States will accept and
who is in favor of the treaty. If
he is elected we are told, he will
do what Marroquin promised to
do six months ago.
Here the canal question
stands no nearer solution than
it was year ago when the treaty
was ratified, or eighteen months
ago when the Spooner law was
enacted, or when the Nicaragua
canal bill passed the House, or
when the Clayton Bulwer treaty
was abrogated, we are no nearer
a solution Of the isthmian canal
problem than we were twenty
years ago. The only certain
outcome of the situation in Col
UNI ia is delay. All other things
are in the shadow. The Panama
canal is still over us.

those with pessimistic tnrn OF
mind have been somewhat dis
posed to view conditions with
alarm. There is no definite rea-
sons for the statements OF GER
tain prominent men in declaring
that the increase in wages is
only one. third of the increase III
cost of living, any more tnan
there is reason to believe that
the lum bering, iron and copper
business have gone to the bow
vows. A slight reaction, the
result of natural causes, is felt in
certain quarters, but all these
things are bound TO right them
selves. George J. Gould, the
famous New Yorker, has ex-
pressed himself regarding con-
ditions, and speaks optimistic
ally. A New York dispatch
says:
George j. Gould as just re
turned to this city after having
made a tour of Investigation of
what is popularity known as the
Gould system of railroads., ac-
companied by his two oldest
sons, Kingdom Gould and Jay
Gould. whom he is diligently in
structing in the mysteries that
attend the successful admins
tration of great corporate inter-
ests,
"Mr. Gould returns to the east
more than ever an optimist,
strengthened in his belief by per-
sonal obser vations that condi-
tons throughout the country,
and more particularly in the
west and southwest, were never
more favorable than at present;
that there is no justification for
the pessimistic wave that en-
CULTS Wall street, that in due
course of time the general pros
perity off the country at large
must have a reflex influence on
all speculative trading, and that
at no time in the history of the
Uuited States have general con-
ditions for the successful carry
ing out of the great business en-
terprises been more promising
than now.
"It is true said Mr.. Gould,
that an almost unaccountable
wave of pessimis m is now over
whelming Wall street. This
wave is erratic and sporadic
and is not justified by the bust
ness conditions existing in the
country at large. My own per-
sonal observations show that
the crops are exceedingly large
the corn crop being bumper;
that railroad earnings must
necessarily increase and that as
soon as the money which has
been advanced from this financial
center for the purpose of moving
the crops and the furtherance of
railroad extensions and enter
prises reverts to it's normal
channels, as is inevitable, the
country at large will enter upon
a new and much greater area of
prosperity.
81 am confident that things
will right themselves in COM
paratively short space of time.
AS the crops move and money
again gets into circulation, the
situation will materially improve.
The strigency of the last few
weeks is entirely natural and
there is absolutely no cause for
alarm on the pact of the invest
ors."

have started in to kill off every

this result. And there are
