INAUGURAL REFORMS.

CUsToM is a hard thing 10 break.
~ but It should not be so dimcult
in this new country OF ours where new.
institutions were but recently inau-
surated.
For number OF years there has
been a movement having for It's object
certain changes in the ceremonies at
tending the Inauguration OF our Presl-
dents.
Bills have been introduced in Con-
gress setting inaugural day a month
or two ahead in order to insure warm
er weather and It has been suggested
that the ceremonies shall be within
doors
There can be no valid objection to
either. II the custom Of a public inau-
sural must be kept up there is no rea
son why II should not be in May or
June. But there is no certainty Of
avoiding Indictment weather A driz-
zllng rain may occur at any time.
But why make 1t a public spectacle?
Only the smallest percentage. even Of
the visiting delegations, can witness It
any way. Think OF dragging aged SEN
ators and Judges OF the Supreme
Court out to stand in the open air,
to endure rain. snow. icy blasts sr any
other kind OF weather that may hap
pen along.
William Henry Harrison died from
the effects OF his inaugural. and sena-
tor Bate lost his life from witnessing
Nj. Rooseveirs inaugural in the open
air. Possibly each Of these occasions
is responsible for a great number Of
deaths OF which We never hear.
There is no very good reason for an
inaugural address anyway. And II Il
is desirable for a President on his in.
duction into Office to deliver mes.
sage to the American people the pres,
is at hand. It is through this agenc,
anyway that the people are reached.

Gen. Kuropatkin Reorgan-
ICES His Defeated and De
moralized Forces
WAR MUST Be CARRIED FORWARD

By delay in pressing his pursuit Of
Russia's defeated and demoralized
army to Tie Pass, Field Marshal
Oyana has afforded General Kuropat-
kin time to sort out the disorganized
units Of his command and restore his
forces to at least a semblance of order.
So far as known there is no consider
able force of Japanese nearer Tie Pass
than six or eight miles; but in Rus
sian quarters there is a feeling Of ap-
prehension that some turning move

THE commander-in-ch OF the
i United Confederate Veterans has
issued proclamation thanking Con-
gress and the President for the return
Of the Confederate battle flags. 1T is
evidence" he says. that there is no
South. North. East or West"
This generous act on the part OF
Congress and the President is In keep
ing with the sentiment Of the times.
The bitterness Of the war has died out;
its utter extinction came during the war
with Spain when our army was made
up with Americans and there were no
distinctions Of North and South.
These battle flags as trophies Of VIC
tories over our fellow countrymen were
perpetual reminders OF the strife OF an
other generation. They told OF the
victories Of Americans over another set
Of Americans. The disposition Of this
generation is to 'let the dead past bury
it's dead" it's triumphs and its mis-
takes.
We are too generous 20 perpetuate
the sentiments Of rejoicing over so
brave foe: we arc too patriotic to
wish to keep alive the spirit OF ami
mostly which so long divided US. The
present day has It's problems which
demand all our attention. II Is profit
less to cherish memories that have
only bitterness. We are glad that the
old battle flags are to be returned, for
We are inclined to think that the sem
timents they inspire in the hearts OF
our Southern friends are not In any
sense menace TO our institutions.

SENATE PASSES The
"GRONLER" REPEALER
Bill Prohibiting Distillers
From Retailing Liquor
Was Also Adopted
specIal to The Evening Journal.

Dover, March 15.-Both sides re-
mained quiet yesterday in the local op-
tion-liquor fight each adversary fear
ing a final vote in the House, which
is closely divided. The Senate. how
ever fired broadsides into the liquor
men by passing both the distillery re-
pealer and the bottle law repeater. The
former bill prohibits distillers. some of
whom have fitted up costly bar rooms
for retailing. The bottle bill prohibits
saloOnkeepers from selling to custom
ers who desire to carry liquor away in
cans or bottles.
You are terribly misguided if you
think this will help the temperance
cause" declared Senator Monaghan in
opposing the bill, while Senator Rose
added: 1T VIII accomplish no good, but
will deprive the State of eight thous-
and dollars annual revenue"
Senator Monaghan's speech was con-
vincing enough to win over some of
the temperance men. In the course of
his remarks he said: MY position OH
all ther matters is that you cannot
aid the cause of temperance by pro-
hibit.ng the sale of liquors and that
local option simply deprives the State
Vi a oAuih9 revenue anu starts Il reign
of illicit selling and drinking. There
are terrible wrongs resulting daily
from the liquor traffic. but. unfortun-
ately in our country today it cannot be
outlawed. IL must be regulated. / am
q temperance man myself and my rep
utation for temperance and sobriety is
as much cherished by myself as my
prohibition friends cherish their repu-
tations, but they are in serious error"
The vo'o on the distillers' repeater
was II to 3. with three members not
voting. The vote on the bill repeating
the 'growler" law was:

by Indifference of the patient to early

SAVED cHlLD's LIFE.
Remarkable Cure of Dropsy by Dcdd's
Kidney Pills.


Sedgwick, Ark, June 19.-The case
of w. S. Taylor's little son is looked
upon by those interested in medical
matters as one of the most wonderful
on record. In this connection his faith.
er makes the following statement:
Last September my little boy had
dropsy; his feet and limbs were swol-
len to such an extent that he could
not walk or put his shoes on. The
treatment that the doctors were giving
him seemed to do him no good, and
two or three people said his days
were short, even the doctors, two of
the best in the country told me he
would not get better. I stopped their
medicine and at once sent for Dodd's
Kidney Pills. / gave him three Pills a
day, one morning, noon and night for
eight days; at the end of the eighth
day the swelling was all gone, but to
give the medicine justice, l gave him
eleven more pills. used thirty-fve
Pills in all and he was entirely cured
consider your medicine saved my
child's life. When the thirty-five Pills
were given him, he could run, dance
and sing, whereas before he was all
invalid in his mothers arms from
morning until night"

How Habits Are Formed.

The formation of a physical habit
involves the education of a portion
OF the brain: and when the habit has
once been formed the act may be per-
formed almost independently of the
VIII or the higher brain. This fact
should impress us most profoundly
with the importance Of forming right
habits. since 1t is apparent that the
getting rid Of q wrong hapit involves
not only the formation CT a right
habit. but the far more tedious and
.dimcult work of undoing the evil
work which has been done In the
wrong education of the brain. This
same principle applies to the higher
centers which are concerned only in
mental acts, as we shall see later 1t
Is indeed most momentous thought
that every act of our lives, not only
emanates from the brain, but modi.
mes and changes the brain, thus infiu-
encfng our characters.
