oping a world wide class feeling. 1t
likewise Has learned the power Of CO
operation.
What will be the state of society and
of politics in this republic seventy years
hence. when some of the children now
in school will be still living? Shall
we preserve the government of the
constitution, the equality of all citizens
before the law and the purity of JUS
tice, or shall we have the government
of either money or the mob?
The answers to these questions will
depend largely upon the kind Of In
struction the people of that day draw
from their newspapers, the text books,
the orators, the preachers of the
masses
1t is not too much to say that the
press is the only great organized force
which is actively and as body uphold
ing the standard of civic Righteousness.
There are many political reformers
among the clergy, but the pulpit as an
institution is concerned with the king
dom of heaven, not with the republic
of America There are many public
spirited lawyers, but the bar as pro-
fession works for its retainers, and no
law .defying trest ever came to grief
from dearth of legal talent to serve
It. Physicians work for their patients
and architects for their patrons The
press alone makes the public interests
it's own. what is everybody's bust
ness is nobody's business" except the
journalists. 1t is his by adoption. But
for his care almost every reform would
fall stillborn. He. holds officials to
their duty. He exposes secret schemes
of plumber. He promotes every hope
full plan of progress. Without him
public opinion would be shapeless and
dumb. He brings all classes, all pro-
fessions together and teaches them to
act in concert on the basis of their
common citizenship.
The Greeks thought that no republic
could be successfully governed If it
were too large for all the citizens to
come together in one place. The
Athenian democracy could all meet in
the popular assembly. There public
OplhlOh WAS. anu dCcOTuluR IN
the people listened to a Pericles or to
Cleon the state fiourished or declined.
The orator that reaches the American
democracy is the newspaper. 1t alone
makes it possible to keep the political
blood in healthful circulation in the
veins Of continental republic.
Virtue, said Montesquieu, is the prin-
ciple of republic, and therefore a re-
public, which in its purity is the most
desirable of all forms of government, is
the hardest of all to preserve, for there
is nothing more subject to decay than
virtue.
Our republic and its press will rise or
fall together. An able, disinterested.
public spirited press, with trained intel
ligence to know the right and courage
to do 1t, can preserve that public vir-
tue without which popular government
is sham and mockery. A cynical.
mercenary, demagogic press will pro-
duce in time people as base as itself.
The power to mold the future of the
republic will be in the hands of the
journalists of future generations. This
Is why urge my colleagues to aid the
important. experiment which / have
ventured to endow. Upon their gen
erous aid and cooperation the ultimate
success of the project must depend.

gave the child q bath with Cuticura
Soap, using soft piece of muslin cloth.
This did twice q day, each time fol-
lowing with the Cuticura Ointment,
and at the same time gave the Resell
vent, according to directions. One box
OF the Ointment and two bottles of the
Resolvent, together with the Soap,

so many thousands of sufferers In cur.
ing themselves" MRS. 1. B. JONES,
ADDINGToN, IND. T.
The first step in the treatment of the
chronic forms is to remove the scales
and crusts and soften the skin, by
warm baths with Cuticura Soap. The
scalp, ears, elbows, hands, ankles and
feet will require frequently a thorough
soaking in order to penetrate the thick
ened skin and crusts with which these
parts are often covered. Dry care
fully, and apply Cuticura Ointment,
lightly at first, and where advisable
spread it on pieces Of soft cloth and
bind in place. Take the Resolvent,
pills, or liquid, in medium doses. Do
not use cold water in bathing, and
avoid cold, raw winds.

Seoul, Feb. 29.-Reports have been
received here that the Russians in
northern Korea have killed q number
of defenseless people, giving as a rea-
son for so doing that the Koreans had

war against the Russians.
A number Of former officers and

Korean war office to be allowed to
defend their country.
Three mountain bateriest Of
eighteen big guns, for fortifying the
hills around Seoul, have arrived at

Chicago, Feb. 29.-Walter Well
man in a Washington special to the
Record Herald says: 49,.
There Is not one chance in ten
million that the United States Is to
become involved in the Asiat1c war.
This statement was made to me by
q member Of the American govern
ment, whose relations with PRESIDENT
Roosevelt and Secretary Hay are so
close and confidential that 1t Well may ma
be said he spoke for them. The
somewhat excited and almost hysteri-
cal outglvings of the Russian press,
prompted in part by the Russian
government itself. have served to In
crease the feeling Of anxiety and to
ada to the fear that sooner or later
the United States may be 1nVolved'
On this account | have sought lntor-
nation as to the actual state of opin-
ion In our government with reference
to this possibility.
There Is here not the slightest fear
that the United States may be drawn
within the vortex Of war. There IS
no belief that this country has any
stake In the outcome of the present
hostiIities which could in any prob
able contingency warrant the draw
ing of the sword by the United
States.
Russians may feel that American
sympathies are with Japan; they may
feel that there exists a real danger
the United States may, In the end,
take part in the struggle on the
Japanese side. The only way in which
Russia could draw the United States
into hostile action would be by max
Ing war upon the United States.
