As we stand in the corner of the
/ room see a strange scene. Tyler and
/ Webster. the two leaders of the Ameri-
can government, are being driven back
and back from their old positions Of
statccraft by this seemingly untutOred
man of the backwoods. Then. like
Paul before Agrippa. see Marcus
Whitman sIcp forward, and hear him
say: Mr. Secretary you know not
what you are doing Better far bet
ter. barter away all the wealth and the
sovereignty Of the New England states
for a few Newfoundland cod than sur
render to England the priceless treas
ures of Oregon and the strategic posi-
tion of the far northwest"
Bah" answered Daniel Webster
with scorn. what is the use OF Ore
gon to the Union? That land is wholly
inaccessible \ wagon road could
never be built across those mountains"
Then, as Richelieu turned upon his
king, / see Whitman turn and hear
him triumphantly say: Mr.. Secretary,
that is a grand mistake that has been
made by listening to interested persons.
Six years ago | was told that there
was no wagon road to Oregon, and it
was impossible TO take wagon there.
and yet, in spite Of pleadings and al
most threat. l took wagon over that
road, and have it now rs that so?"
said Webster. "Then Oregon must be
saved to the Union" And so | find
in these few words that the devotion
which Marcus Whitman gave to his
wife by compelling the men to carry
his wagon over the Rocky mountains
was one Of the mighty means of help
ing to save Oregon to the Union. 1t
proved that the far northwest and the
east were not separated by impossible
barriers. And it Furthermore proved
shat all mems greatest and truest sue
cesses are always dependent upon their
faithfulncSs in the common duties of
life. Marcus Whitman's love
for his country is today associated with
the pure love which lie bore Narcissa
Prentiss. The true successes by which
we will he able perhaps to do some
great act for our country will be de-
pendent upon how we fulfill the little
duties Of everyday domestic existence.

 T. w. Hanks, of sol North First St., for years employed by the Mccormick Implement Co. says: "I consider Doan's Ointment one of the best prep arations on the market. I was annoyed with itching hemorrhoids, commonly called piles, for six or seven years, lat terIy continually. Sometimes the itch ing was so inten;e that 1t fairly set me wild, despite the fact that I used ev- eryLhing I read about recommended for such ailments, and everything which my friends advised. Finally my broth e -in-law advised me to take a certain course of the treatment and when went to the Erisley drug store for it, MT. Larson advised me to try Doan's s Ointment. I did so and I have never regretted taking his advice. The first application so soothed the irritated parts that I knew I had at last o5- tained something with more than or dinaIy merit. A coptinuation of the treatment absolutely stopped the at tack. A short time ago I sicaIded the toes on my right foot. Doan's Oint- ment healed the burned part rapidly.

NEEDS IN NEW MEXICO.
People Anxious for Educational FaciH-
ties

The sermon yesterday morning at tho
Luther Place Memorial Church was
preached by Rev. N. w. Hankemeyer. BID.
formerly a Congregationalist missionary at
Deming N. NJ. He devoted his sermon to
discussion Of the needs of the people of the
territory as he saw them during his years
Of labor there.
In the course of his remarks he said:
These people present a distinct race
problem. as clearly defined that of the
negro of the south or the Chinese of the
Pacific coast. The negro always had the
advantage OF living among the white Anglo
Saxon population. and this has kept him in
touch with the white mans civilization. but
the Mexican has for years lived In his little
canyon settlement, far from the larger
cities of the southwest, of which there are
few and only recently coming into contact
with Anglo-Saxon ideas and habits of life.
He is slow and unresponsive to new
ideas. He Is a poor mechanic. he cannot
build a straight wall. and his adobe hut is
never plumb His windows and doors hang
far out Of the perpendicular. He lives In a
hut made of bricks of the mud of the street,
mingled with straw Of his field. for all the
world like those made by the 1sraelites in
the time Of their bondage in Egypt.
THE public school system has not been
extended to the small villages. Many chill
dren have never seen a school house
joyed an hours tuition. So eager are pa
rents for their children that offers OF land
have been made and women have volun-
tcered to help build the adobe hut II the
education society would only give them a
school In many towns the public schools
are open only three months Of the year, and
in some places the authorities will only
open school house wheDe there Is saloon
using the money received from the license
to pay the teachers salary. The Education
Society has established six schools all of
them being Christian without being de-
nomina tfonal and connected with all of
them is the Bible school held on Sundays.
The teachers are we'll educated. expe-
rienced. consecrated women. who are not
only teachers. but excellent missionaries as
well. During the day they are busy with
the children. but after hours they visit the
homes of the people. sharing alike their
sorrows and their joys. They prescribe for
the sick and nurse them as we'll.
These Mexicans are today standing with
outstretched hands for the Christian school
and the Gospel The special need Is that Of
Christian Industrial school. where Mexi-
can youth. male and female. may be in
structed in the arts of common life They
are waiting for such a school. 1t would
save the youth from many of their vices
which arise from idleness Here is a glo-
rious opportunity to be true to the tradi-
tons of the fathers. Here Is a distinct call
and a new duty"
