The engineer footed the whistle and
the brakes were applied. This gave
the mountaineer time to reach the sta

The sympathy of the outside world
will be with Kuropatkin, disgraced by
an arbitrary decree as it has been with
ula General Stoessei sent crlae.i.s, - a
throne where his desperate defense of
Port Arthur should have earned him
the welcome Of an outstretched hand.
Europatkin has fought great fight
In Manchuria. His dismissal is not his
disgrace, but that of the Russian war
department.
Russia's greatest war chief went into
Manchuria with a raw army, unpro-
vided and unprepared to meet such
troops as the Japanese, and the condi-
tions so little understood by the Rus
slams and SO carefully studied by the
Japs. His army was inferior in num-
bers. his generals and lower officers
inferior in personnel to the Japs. His
supplies and reinforcements We're de-
pendent on the operation OF thousands
OF miles of a single track railway. He
lost the support and protection of the
fleet that should have guarded the sea
coast when the Japs crushed the Rus
sian warships, While their commanders
were drunken with vodka and dali
liance with Women. The first fierce
stroke at the Russian navy lost Port
ARTHUR to Stoessel and forecasted
Kuropatkin's defeat. Behind his army
was an incompetent and intriguing
bureau of war and a government on
the verge of revolution. Before it the
sea, the Russian feet and the dis
mantded fortress of Port Arthur. Ku-
rop1tlan was beaten but not disgrace
ed! His dismissal at the hands of the
rotten autocracy for which he is fight
ing will be given it's proper standing in
history.
Russia may dismiss her greatest
general. She can not dismiss Nogi and
Oyama.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

bv local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness Is caused by an infiamed
condition of the mucous lining OF the
Ir,,s+a chian Tube. When this tube is
inf1amed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when 1T Is
entirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth

PURITY COUNTS MOST.

1t is a very common remark to hear
a woman say of another that 'she does
not belong to our clique she does
not go in in good society" and "she is
not as good as we are" Good pure
women are slighted because they have
not the money to buy good clothes andt
horses and carriages. They are nos
invited to the doings of the Society
and are really looked down upon and
pitied by many Of the elite. This de-
testable condition of affairs Is the out
growth of "a custom. which has over

Drawn. good health and common
sense and the education will take care
Of itself in a large measure. Ihere Is
a great deal of the education. even OF
the common school variety that is no!
fitting boys and girls for more useful
lives, and that is not teaching them
the way to personal independence.
The whole thing is centered too mucn
on the collegiate and university 1dea

;s NOT trained. and where this is true
the mind is but poorly trained. God
intended the mind and the hand to
work together. At the very least IL was
the intention that all men hsould work,
and it is a fact that the so-cailed edu-
cation has as prime motive the pro-
pagation of belief that some how ana
bv some means the young are TO pe
allowed to live without such labor as
gave TO their parents the ability to ed
ucate their offspring. If the parents
could barely read and write, they were
still better educated than are such
children. The men who toll have all
ways ruled in the end, and that Will be
the truth so long as the world may

to toll is the education that leads it's

THE POINT OF VIEW.

Mr. w. G. Moorhead valued sub
scriber at Bristow, is given space in
another column to present his criti-
cisrn OF the T.-R., the churches and the
n1ulct law. Mr.. Moorhead finds the T.
r. unfair in its statement that the
third party is standing still, while the
church Is moving on and would reverse
the statement. Too many church
members identified with the liquor in
terests, too much of the social club
idea in the churches, too many church
members with liquors ION tap" in their
own homes, are part Of the reasons
given by our correspondent for non
utilization of church MEMBERS with
the party prohibitionists.
Doubtless the correspondent from
Bristow is sincere in his allegations
and believes his conclusions just.
Nevertheless he is wrong, as many
good man has been before him: He
has lighted single candle wherewith
to scan the whole world and his point
of view is limited to the light cast by
the one idea, legislative prohibition.
The fact is that the church as a whole
is doing greater practical good than
ever before. 1t is covering more
ground, finding more things of a help
full nature to do. Fewer church mem
=, to-, S,,{a Fo =,
any business interests in the liquor
traffic than in the history of the
churches. Mr.. Moorhead need not be
living on borrowed time to remember
when the liquor habit was common
among church communicates. Per-
haps there is less dependence upon
God to care for the weak, needy and
suffering, but there is much greater
sense of the responsibility Of one man
toward another Christian felpfulness
is growing.
The legislature gave the state the
mulct law as the correspondent says.
1t kept the saloon an outlaw when
it enacted the mulct penalty. 1t is
fully conceded by vast majority that
the prohibitory law was a fiat failure.
1t was a question of high license
law or the mulct tax. Perhaps local
option high license law would have been
the logical legislation, but the legisla-
ture whipped the devil around stump
and left the saloon an outlaw as con-
cession to the prohibitionists and the
sentiment of the state. 1t is likely
today that the sentiment of majority
of Iowa citizens is against the liquor
traffic. 1t is certainly true that
return to the blind pigs and uncon-
trolled traffic of the later prohibitory
days. The mulct law is an expedient
which fails to please the liquor inter-
ests and the radical element among
prohibitionists. The majority of the
voters and the mass Of the people,
however, are behind the mulct, para
doxical as it's provisions may seem.
The prohibition party is an aggre-
CATION composed for the most part of
sincere and radical men who have the
courage of conviction and are entitled
to the respect always due to sincerity
and courage. 1t does not, however,
contain all the good and honesty and
sincerity of political sentiment and
action within itself 1t is not more re-
lfgious than the church nor more wise
than the best of other parties. If it
were it would grow faster.

THE w1FE's PART.
Manson Journal


Carl Dishler Of Greenfield township
was in town Monday. He had just
completed paying off the mortgage
on his 100 acres of land and today
does not owe dollar. In his pros
perity he thanks his good wife and
children for the part they have taken
during all the years he has been
struggling to make the home and
clear the debt. We wonder some times
if every man stops to think whether
the wife is not entitled to as much
credit as himself. She does not go out
in the field always and delye in the
dirt, but it is her faithful work at
home that makes it possible for the
man to work. She works as many
hours as he does and often more She
is usually up the first in the morning
and from that time forward till the
last chore is done she is busy Men
may think their work is hard, but what
is the work of sitting on a riding pillow
or moving machine to bending over a
tub and doing a days washing or try
ing to get meal of victuals with two
or three little children hanging upon
her skirts and another one in the era
die. Work? Her work is never done
until the coffin lid is nailed down and
she is taken to the cemetery. Then
her rest commences. This is not
always the case, but it is too often the
case. 1t is right that she should
work the same as a man but she is
entitled to her share Of the credit and
when rest comes to the man on the
farm it should also come to the wife
and mother. Nothing struck the writer
so forcibly as when Mr.. Dishler says
81 owe my prosperity to my good wife
and children"
