Tainted Money" for Philanthropy.

Speaking of the University Of Virginia re-
minds that Mr.. Rockefeller has given that in
stitution 100000 to found the J. L. NJ Curry
Memorial School of Education. Mr.. Rockefeller
also gave 100000 to Northern Baptists last week
for Foreign Missions, and the gift was promptly
accepted. And while thank Mr.. S. @. Adams
for what he is good enough to say about our edi-
torial on this subject, confess that we haven't
reached a very definite conclusion as to what
ought to be done about such benefactions from
malefactors. The danger is, in the Bible phrase,
that the gift may "blind the eyes of the wise and
pervert the words of the righteous" We repeat
that we are glad to the protest against the
Rockefeller lift, because it evidences a much
needed quickening of the public conscience At
the same time there is not little force in the
argument put forth by the Foreign Missions
Committee recommending the acceptance of the
money:
"To have returned the benefaction would have
expressed disapprobation and condemnation of a
man when he doing an act of beneyolence
This would have been to confuse the issue and To
act contrary to the Christian spirit To prevent
any man from doing good is wrong way in
which to condemn him for doing evil 1t is as
wrong to condemn him when he is doing a good
deed as to commend him when he is doing bad
deed"
The Root of the Evil.
This much at least is clear: The peorle rule
in America-or if we do not, we have only our
selves to blame. And while it is well that we
rise up in our wrath and condemn the hypo-
critics who pile up millions through legalized rob-
berry and then give pittance to religion or to
education; while it is we'll to tear the cloak from

A Better Example from Mr.. Roosevelt.

Rockefeller gifts for religious purposes, yet it
is an entirely different matter when public Of
fetal or even an editor accepts favors from great
railways or other corporations that might profit
by special privileges given at the expense of the
people. An officer chosen to represent the people
or even an editor or teacher who would be Just
and fearless, can no more afford to accept such
favors than a judge can afford to accept a gift
from one of the litigants between whom he is
expected to hold impartially the scales of justice
We honor Senator Turrentine in our North Care
lima Senate who for this reason refused to attend
a supper given to the Senators by great railway
official in Raleigh last winter. And with equal
feeling we scorn the men who go to our Legisla-
lures processing to represent the people but really
the Eaid attorneys and hirelings of other mas
ters. It is matter about which people need

Many women long for child to bless
their homes, but because of some de-
bility or displacement Of the female
organs they are barren.
Preparation for healthy maternity is
accomplished by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound more successfully
than by any other medicine, because it
gives tone and strength to the entire
female organism, curing all displace-
ments, liberation and Inflammation.
A woman who is in good physical
condition transmits to her children the
blessings of good constitution. Is
not that an incentive to prepare for q
healthy maternity?
II expectant mothers would fortify
themselves with Lydia <. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, which for thirty
years has sustained thousands of
women in this condition, there would
be great decrease in miscarriages, in
suffering. and in disappointments at

Chicago. Ill, April 3.-One of the
fiercest and most momentous munic-
ipal campaigns in the political history
of Chicago came to an end today.
Tomorrow the voters will cast their
ballots for a mayor and other city
officers to serve during the ensuing
two years. The democratic candidate
for mayor is Judge Edward F. Dunno
of the circuit court, and the fepubH-
of the United States supreme court
justice. The socialists have a ticket
in the field headed by John Collins,
as the myoralty candidat-, and a
fourth ticket has been put up by the
prohibitionists with Oliver NJ. Stew
art at its head.
City ownership of street railways is
the question that has figured most
prominently in the campaign. 1t can
hardly be said, however to be an is
sue of the fight as both of the lead
ing parties are pledged in its favor.
The only question wherein they differ
is as to how the desired result
municipal ownership-is to be brought
about. The franchises of a number of
the street railway lines have expired
or are about to expire. Yet many
obstacles beset the plans of those
who desire that the city should own
and operate this great public utility.
1t is, therefore, question of ways
and means that forms the chief issue.
A certain element is for overcoming
all obstacles at whatever cost and
assuming immediate control of the
street railways. Others believe that
the only practicable plan is to grant
an extension Of franchise to the pres
ent operating company and arrange
for the city to gradually take over the
lines.

Guaranteed to Cure by Anders
Jacobsen, or Money Refunded.
The popularity and increase in the
sales of Hyomei are unique in the an
nails of medicine. Such astonishing
cures have been made by this remedy
that the proprietors have authorized
Anders Jacobsen to sell every package
of Hyomei under an absolute guaran-
tee that it will cure catarrh. If it
does not, the purchaser can have his
money refunded by Anders Jacobsen.
Hyomei is no ordinary remedy. 1t
is the only method of treatment that
sends by direct inhalation to the most
remote part of the air passages, a
balsamic air that destroys all catarrh-
al germs in the breathing organs, en-
riches and purifies the blood with
additional ozone, and makes a perma-
nent and complete cure of catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but $1.OO and consists of an inhaler
that can be carried in the vest pocket,
a medicine dropper, and a bottle of
Hyomei. The inhaler lasts a life.
time, and if one bottle does not cure,
an extra bottle of Hyomei can be OBJ
tanned for so cents. 1t is the most
economical of all remedies advertised
for the cure of catarrh, and is the
only one that follows Nature in her
methods of treating diseases of the
respiratory organs.
Breathe through the inhaler for a
few minutes four times a day, and
your catarrh is cured. That's all.
If not cured, Anders Jacobsen will
refund your money.
