.AFrnn AroTHrR ,aupar.

A somewhat mixed condition of af- fairs. in which a Federal Judge Is con- cerned. is on tap In Indian Territory. Colonel Clarence B. Douglas, an Indian of prominence in Territorial affairs, and editor and proprietor of The Muskogee Phenix. has filed a lengthy formal list of charges against c. W. Raymond, United States Judge for the Western District of Indian Territory. In brief. Colonel Douglass reeites:
 That the judge lis person wholly united by temperament and learning for the position he occupies" He is charged with being petty tyrant on the bench, discourteens ana insulting to members of the bar. frequently giv- ing way to disgraoeful outbursts of profanity while on the bench, and va- rious ether evidences of boorIshness and disregard for all the 1proprieties of official position.
 The Judge is further charged with being a law unto himseif. violating all the rules of decency; with attempting to bribe member of the bar; with making appointments for the purpose of building up political machine for himself; with appointing newspaper men to subordinate positions and then using their papers in his own inter- ests: with ignoring attorneys who wished to obtain writs from his court: with sacrificing the interests of law yers and clients lon the altar of his xKygf
 acts and lapses not at all creditable to himself or the position he holds.
 This Is only a brief note of the long string of charges filed by Colonel Douglas, and of which he asks a full Investigation. But, on the other hand. in the same issue of The Cherokee Ad- Tocate in which these charges are made public. there is printed the re- port of the grand jury of the same court. and it comments the judge in the highest terms. One reading if would set him down as about the best man and official that ever held office. Whether the charges made by Douglas were inspired by personal reasons. or whether the report of the grand fury was inspired by the judge. we can't say, but between them they have made a mess. If Raymond is such a man and Judge as Colonel Douglas makes him out he should not only be- lm- peached and removed from office, but should be punished severely. On the other hand; if he Is what the grand jury declares, Douglas is the man who should be censured and punished It is difficult to believe that d prominent man would make these charges with out good and sufficient grounds, and the outcome of the affair will be in- teresting. Coming along with the inn peachment of Swayne and the charges against Lacombe it begins to look as if there may be something doing among the judges.

Ln FoIIette for Senator.

Governor La Follette's election as United States Senator will hardly bring peace to the perturbed politics of Wis consin. He has just been reelected for a term of two years. As his candidacy was chiefly on State issues, 1t might be supposed that he would want to stay il office to see that his ideas are car rled into effect. It may be that he has complete confidence in the Lieuten- ant nt-Governor as the man on the ground. and thinks that he can him self promote his aims better from the Senate chamber in Washington. If he goes to the Senate in place of Senator Quarles. Wisconsin will hardly have harmonious delegation. Senator SpoOner is the representative of all the interests that Governor La Toilette has fought in his political career. The senior Senator is an able lawyer and an active Senator. He has the conf dence of the President in a large de- gree; but in Wisconsin he has been un- able to withstand the popularity of the Governor. and in the last campaign made 8 sad failure in the strategy he attempted. Governor La Toilette is man with a definite policy, great power among the people, and win make his mark in the Senate.

suPERLArryr MnANNHss.

An evidence Of the malevolence of soms Northern Republican newspapers may be seen in this paragraph from The Buffalo News:
 The Kansas Legislature adjourned to hear Booker T. Washington lecture. He is worthy of the compliment. The time may come when his State will be so proud of him as to send him to the United States Senate. He would adorn the position as no other man has from Alabama for many q year.
 Tho Advertiser has so often ex- pressed good opinions of Washington and his work that there Is no need to repeat them. This paper is a better sfriend to the colored race than is The probability. but there's no need to argue that point, for The News be- longs to that class of self righteous Pharlsees who are never satisfied ex- cept when they are condemning others.
 The unspeakable meanness of The News is shown in its proclaiming Booker Washington better, in all re- spects, than any Senator from Alabama "for many a year" There was a time when Alabama was represented in the lower House of Congress by negroes. but they were not sent there by the people of Alabama. There was also a time when our State was misrepre- scented by carpet-bag Senators, but the people of Alabama were not re- sponsible for them. Neither their sort nor those of the negro race will ever again be the alleged representa- tives of our people in the halls of Con gress. If we cared to adopt the ''tu quoque" style of argument we might tell The News that there are doubtless negroes in New York who would make more creditable Senators than some that have been sent there with the approval of Tho News, but none of these colored men has any show of breaking into Congress, though they may use their votes and their influ- ence to send the friends. of The News there.
 Booker Washington and other we'll disposed colored men in the South have no worse enemies than newspa- pers like The News are. Just such mean filings and insinuations as the one we have quoted are calculated to arouse and perpetuate prejudice on the part of the whites and thus work material injury to the better class of negroes. This ought to be plain to even The News, but that makes no diff ference. The injury 1t does to the negro is more than made up in it's estimation by the opportunity to throw little mud at the white people of the South. few of whom would care to have the approval of that newspa- per.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is in
 Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char coal is the safest and most efficient disinfectant and purifier in nature, but few realize its value when taken into the human system for the same cleans ing purpose.
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better; 1t is not a drug at all. but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and car- ries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or eating onions and other odorous vege etables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and im- proves the complexion. it whitens the teeth and further acts as natural and eminently safe catnartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; 1t disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison-of catarrh.
 All druggists sell. charcoal in one form or another. but probably the best charcoal ana the most for the monev is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal. and other harmless 'antiseptics in tablet form or rather in the form of large. pleasant tasting lozenges. the charcoal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health. better complex ion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of 1t is, that no possi- ble harm can. result from their contin- ued use' but on the contrary. great benefit.
 A Buffalo physician in speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says: 'I ad- wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels. and to clear the complex ion and purify the breath. mouth and throat; also believe the liver is great ly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores. and although in some sense patent preparation. yet I be- lieYe l get more and better charcoal than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets 70

DOESN'T SEE THE POINT.

The other day we were disposed to indulge in a little cachination because the Tennessee Legislature was trying to enact a law to tax bachelors and refused to pass one to punish pistol toters, That moves The Chattanooga Times to say:
 If we had fewer bachelors we would have less need for drastic anti-pistoI laws. The nuptial tie is a great civ ilizer under our American institution. as much as the statement may chal- lenge the "Frenchy' risibles of our zled to know why matrimony should suggest to our gallant and amiable friend at the Alabama capital the mat ter of pistols. The two are strangers in Tennessee.
 Possibly the esteemed Times, being Tennesseean. doesn't see the point, or the funny part, but to an outsider it really seems amusing to see the law makers refuse to legislate against the worst class of law breakers and then spend their time chasing ghosts. That idea of taxing the bachelors is up be- fore some legislative body all the time.
 
 members pass off the time and earn their per diem, but that is about all it does. No such law will be passed, we predict, and if one should, get on the books 1t would not stay long. It is not subject for legislation, 1t seems to us. but the other is. No worse en- emy to society and good government can be found than the habitual pistol carrier Is, and there should be no dif- ficulty about passing laws to punish them.
 The Times may be correct in it's as- sumption that "the nuptiaI tie is a great civilizer," but we have not mo- ticed that any undue per cent of crim- inals are bachelors. Married men vio- late the laws also, however much we may look on marriage as a civilizer It does civilize and tone down some folks. beyond a doubt. but appears to have the opposite effect on some. And we beg to inform The Times that 1t Is off the track when 1t intimates that mat rimony suggested pistols to The Ad- vertiser. It looks to us, though, that the Tennessee legislators think the taxation of bachelors win suppress pistol-toters. When it does, please tip us a wink.

The News did we'll to consult The Advertiser upon any question of noise. It can make more noise than a steam calliope and believe all the while that it Is tearing off nightingale notes Virginian Pilot.
 Envy on the part of a contemporary is very sad, very sad indeed. Because nobody is disturbed by the subdued pipings of the V.-P. it grows envious when real newspaper like The Ad- vertiser hands out solid chunks of in- formation, as it did to The Pine Belt News. Let 1t strive to elevate itself instead of deprecating others.

Boston Transcript.
 It seems, after all, there is a better to the sweet of having a servant in the family so long that there can be no possible thought of her leaving, with or without cause, especially if this par ticular servant happens to be the cook. for, faithful and prompt as she may be, one Is likely to get tired of any one style of cooking. Usually changes of any sort are unwelcome to the cook who has been long in the family, and the suggestion that a new line of soups or a new collection of desserts be ad- ded to her repertoire is received with protests and displeasure. As an in stance of victimlzing by the cook em- ployed for many years. Mrs. John Lane. in discussing the servant question Tn England tells of a man who complain ed pathetically that in twenty-six years he had eaten 4.0o0 French pancakes filled with raspberry jam.

Defects in the Consular system.

WaShingtOn POSI-.
 It is no longer possible to doubt that our consular system leaves much to be desired. The report of Mir. Peirce, as- sistant Secretary of State, who has made more than one tour of investi- gation. rob the most casual reader of all illusions in that regard. Especially does he show, although the assumption is inevitable at best, that the fee sys- moralization and is in all instances prohibitory of the highest efficiency. It engenders, as a matter of course. species of competition for the financial profits involved.

The Cincinnati Enquirer says: For several years the executive and legis- lative departments of the Government have been wrestling with the question, what shall we do with the superanu- ates? Many of them are practically pensioned now, and in time there will be a long and expensive civil pension list. And these pensions will be paid to people, for the most part who have long enjoyed easy positions with greater pay than could possibly have been gained by the same people In private employment The tendency of the time is to saddle every burden on the Government. The dependent life led in the Federal capital Is one of the things that have driven a great many people into false ideas of the powers, duties. responsibilities and generosity of government"

Names of Japane.e shIr..

- In view of the periodic discussion about the appropriate naming of war ships 1t Is of interest to learn that Japan has named her big battleshfps war vessels from some well known natural features of the country. It may also be mentioned that at the end of every Japanes ship is either the termination kan" or ''maru." Kan" means war vessels and is applied, of course, only to the Emperor's fleet "Maru." which means round, is applied to merchant vessels

ChInnmen in Canada.

The act imposing a tax of $500 upon every Chinaman entering Canada has had a prohibitive effect. Since Janu- ary 1. 1904, not a single Chinaman has arrived. with the exception of two who escaped from steamships In each case the steamship company had to pay the poll tax of $500. The exclusion of Chi namen has deprived the Province of British Columbia of handsome reve- nue. In 1908 British Columbia re- ceived fronf the poll tax $2250 and the year before $25S.0O0.
