OFFICIALS AND 1HEIR SONS.

With intent to embarrass Secretary
Wilson a complaint has been given
publicity to the effect that his son had
taken a junketing trip to Alaska at
the expense of the government. EX-
PLANTATION from the agricultural de-
partment that young Mr. Wilson'S trip
was as an employee of the government
and in response to complaints made, by
miners of wholesale destruction OF
game animals by big game hunters. AS
the miners and other inland residents
of the peninsula depend to a consider
able extent upon game to supply them
with food the matter was important
and one to be inquired into. For this
duty young Mr.. Wilson was selected.
Only one point about the contention
is worth notice That is the selection
Of member of the secretary's family
for the duty. Probably the young man
did as well as another, but sugges-
ton of nepotism always carries weight
: in this country. Even the sub-director
in a school township who hires MS
daughter or niece to teach the district
school is invariably the object OF
neighborhood criticism, and the teach
er's value is discredited in advance. The
public is properly suspicious OF ap-
pointees who appear to owe their APP
pointments to family favor. Young
Mr.. Wilson may have been the best
available for the mission upon which
{ he was sent, but the secretary weak
ened his own position when he selected
his son. He might have sent poorer
stick without criticism. Public officers
should fight shy of family favoritism II
they desire to avoid censure.
The complaint comes from quarters
anxious to annoy and discredit the
secretary. 1t deserves and will receive
no particular attention, but 1t Illus
trates something every official should
know. that the part Of wisdom is to
keep the family out of public business
even in the matter Of minor appoint
ment. --

the Grinnell Herald "And it is be-
cause it can be considered somewhat

believes, "He is no better than the men

is nothing about his conduct to show
that he places any confidence in what
he himself says. How would you like
to have Lawson for a member OF the
board of supervisors?" asks the He:'
aid. "How would you like to have
majority of such men in the legisla-

all. His utter unfitness for an

less is his pseudo attempts to re-

When You Have a Cold.

The first action when you have a
cold should be to relieve the lungs.
This is best accomplished by the free
use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
This Remedy liqueies the tough mu-
Gus and causes it's expulsion from the
air cells of the lungs, produces a free
expectoration, and opens the secre-
tons. A complete cure soon follows.
This remedy will cure a severe cold in
less time than any other treatment
and it leaves the system in natural
and healthy condition. 1t counteracts
any tendency toward pneumonia. For

tional Bank Succumbs.
Oberlin, o., Feb. &C. T. Beck
with, president of the defunct Citi-
zens' National bank of this city, died
after two days of Inconsistencies,
during which dissolution was expected
at any moment. Only the family sur
rounded the deathbed of the banker.
Mr.. Beckwith was about siXty-five
years OF age. On Dec. IA last the fed
eral grand jury in Cleveland returned
five indictments against Beckwith
upon the charge of violating the ma
tional banking laws in connection
with the loans made to Mrs. Cassie
l.. Chadwick by the Citizens Ma
tional bank of Oberlin, of which de-
ceased was the president. From the
day of his arrest, Mr.. Beckwiths
health rapidly failed, as a result Of
worry over his troubles. He frequent
ly declared during his illness that he
wanted to die. For several days prior
to his death he refused to take food
in any form. Death resulted directly
from heart trouble.
The death of President Beckwith
may materially weaken the cases of
forgery and conspiracy to misapply
bank funds now charged against Mrs.
Chadwick.

st. Petersburg, Feb. Military op-

standstill. No Importance is at
tached by the war Office to the Japa-

to surrender the positions captured
north of Sandepas, and that series
of encounters there will probably con-
tinue until the weather is favorable
