May Abandon Jail.

Sheriff Elijah C. Lynch, of Sussex
county. having been indicted by the
Grand jury of the Court of General
Sessions, owing to the numerous Jail
deliveries at Georgetown. the Jail there
may be abandoned and prisoners sent
TO the workhouse near Wilmington. In
indicting the Sheriff, the Grand Jury
recommended that the present Jail
property at Georgetown be disposed of
and another location procured. Anagi-
tation was begun some time ago to have
long-ter prisoners of the two lower
counties sent to the workhouse, and
now that the Sheriff of Sussex county
has been indicted il is likely that the
Georgetown Jail will be abandoned en-
tirely.

New Version Of 20. K"

Now comes a fourth version. Gen.
Warren keifer, in the Archaeological
Quarterly. says that in urbana. Ohio.
In 1870, when the Harrison campaign
vas in progress, a Whig farmer drove
into town with this legend painted on
his wagon: THE people is Oil Korrect."
The Democrats made fun of the spell
ing. but Whig tavern keeper near
Springfield stuck the letters 20. k
over his door, where they remained
until the building was torn down. in
1901. This seems more probable than
any Of the other statements. The use
of 20. K.," however II started, has long
been widespread and respectable. Col
lege presidents, Dank officials and even
proofreaders find the initials indispens-
able in their business.

INDIAN STATESMEN.
Five Civilized Tribes Meet in Cor.
vention.

Muscogee, l. r., Aug. 233.-T'he chief
iaincy OF the Five Civilized tribes met
here in convention Monday to declare
for separate statehood for indian Ter
dents of the Indian Territory, who for
both business and sentimental reasons
are opposed to union with Okla
homa. This is the first time the tribal
citizens of the Indian Territory ever as
sembled for the purpose of notifying
Congress that they are ready for state
hood.
Many leaders in this separate state
hood convention say privately that
while they would prefer separate
statehood, yet they believe that only
joint statehood will be given to the two
territories.
This convention was called to make
and adopt state constitution. 1t is
probable that the actual work will be
delegated to a committee authorized
to submit the constitution to the peo.
pie for ratification. The convention
will declare for prohibition, which may
be submitted as an issue separate from
the constitution. At the same time
funds will be raised to ratify the con.
stitution.
The first week or ten days of the con.
vention probably will be occupied by
organizing and appointing committees
for the various branches of the work
and discussing the main points that
should enter into the constitution.
The convention will probably then
adjourn for week and reassemble, at
which time the committees will report
and sections of the proposed constitu-
ton will be submitted and discussed
separately. Delegates will be allowed
to suggest changes and discuss points
freely. This will doubtless occupy
much time, and the convention may
last thirty or even sixty days.

Conger to Leave Mexico.

Oyster Fay. Aug. 23.-Edwin II. Con.
ger of Iowa has resigned his post as
American ambassador to Mexico, TO
take effect October 18th next, and
President Roosevelt has accepted the
resignation.
Mr.. Conger's retirement from the
diplomatic service was foreshadowed
in these dispatches last week 1t was
indicated then that he might be sent
to Peking as special commissioner of
the President to adjust. If possible, the
differences which have arisen between
this country and China over the boy.
colt of American goods by some of the
Chinese commercial guilds. While no
official statement is obtainable here re-
garding the mission, there are reasons
for the statement that it either has
been abandoned by the President or
that 1t has been declined by Mr.. Con
ger. At any rate, Mr.. Conger will not
go to China as representative of the
government.
1t has not been determined definitely
yet who will succeed Mr.. Conger as
ambassador to Mexico. but. as hereto
fore stated, it probably will be David
f. Thompson OF Nebraska, now Ameri-
can ambassador to Brazil. 1t Is known
tsat Mr.. Thompson desires the Mexico

THE PRESIDENTS PLAN
PROPOSES PEACE COMPROMISE
Let's Russia Down Easy on Indemnity
by Payment Of Money for
Island Of SaehaIien.

Portsmouth, n. H., Aug. 23.-The
Associated Press is now in a position
TO reveal substantially the suggestion
OF President Roosevelt for breaking
the existing deadlock in the peace ne
gotiations and rescuing the conference
from failure.
His solution would ingeniously per-
nit the satisfaction of japanese de-
mands for reimbursement for the cost
of the war and at the same time en-
able Russia to face the world with the
declaration that she had not ceded
foot of territory or paid a kopeck of
war tribute to the victor.
The solution is the one which has
heretofore been described in the Asso-
ciated Press dispatches as the natural
and logical compromise.
Tersely stated, it consists of an
agreement of Russia to repurchase
possession of either all OF half the is
land of Saghalien, now in the military
occupation of Japan, for sum. the
amount of which, If the two countries
cannot agree, shall be decided by some
method of arbitration hereafter to be
determined.
Inc PURCHASE money, Together Win
the sum Japan would obtain from the
cession of the Chinese Eastern rail
road and the maintenance of the Rus.
sian prisoners in Japan, would, it is
estimated about equal the amount
claimed by Japan as her bill for the
cost of the war.
Possible, therefore, the solution Of
fered by the President involves reces-
sion by Japan upon article five the
cession of Saghalien) and the recess
sion By Russia upon article 8 (in-
demnity).
1t seems practically certain, though
this cannot be affirmed positively, that
the President to-day was able to give
M. Wi.te substantial assurance that
Japan would be willing to accept such
a compromise.
This is apparently supported by the
authoritative Japanese statement
made to the Associated Press last
night i'll reply to a question whether
Japan had or had not decided on sub.
stantial concessions:
1T all depends upon Russia"

Drummond, Wis, Aug. 21st (spe-
cial)-Whole families in Bayfield,

Dodds Kidney Pills and the reason
why is given in experiences such as
that of Mr.. T. T. Void, well-known
citizen here.

did not know what to do says MIR.
Void, land as l came across. an adver-
tisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills,

ed me of all my pains. My wife also
used them and found them just what
she needed. recommend Dodd's Kid
ney Pills as a sure cure for Back
ache and other Kidney Troubles"
Backache is one of the earliest

Kidney Pills cure 1t promptly and per-
manently and prevent it developing
into Rheumatism, Dropsy, Diabetes OR

Cooperation In Education.

President Eliot OF Harvard, in an article
on Republican Education, in The outlook s
annual Educational Number, lays stress
on the voluntary cooperation of the chill
dren in educating themselves. Thus, he
says:
Let the children learn from their earliest
years what cooperation means in the
family. in the home, and in the school.
Let them see II and feel II for themselves,
not as a principle imposed by authority,
but as a natural and universal process.
OF course you cannot do that TO a baby;
but you can begin when the child is three
or four years old to induce in the child
cooperation, the voluntary combining
with the other children in the house, with
the father and mother. with friends that
come in, with the other children on the
floor Of the kindergarten. You can begin
early and never cease to teach the process
OF voluntary Cooperation, which Is the
substitute in a republic for unreasoning
obedience to orders. For instance, IL is
necessary in a large school that, at a sig
nal, all the children should rise simultane-
ously and march somewhither. 1t makes
all the difference in the world in the effect
on the individual will IL the child sees
just why it is necessary for the children
to rise all together and move away. The
wrong spirit Is what / may describe as
the military spirit in a school; the right
spirit is the thoroughgoing cooperative
spirit for a motive seen. This spirit
justifies self-effacement and self-sacrifice
as no other really does.

The Man That Counts.
IRutland News.l

1t is always the man that counts He
has counted since the dawn OF reason
He has counted in war and in peace He
has counted in all of the crises of history,
and he has counted in all of the long
stretches Of everyday life when there was
lacking the inspiration of the battle song
and the enthusiasm that is due to heroic
leadership. Battleships alone cannot
bring victory, nor can the great death
dealing guns with all of their terrible
power 1t is the man on the battleship
the man behind the gun, that wins the
day. 1t is the man with a trained mind,
a sound body and a courageous heart
that conquers And 1t is this kind of a
man that is victor in the battles of peace
as well as those of war. 1t is this kind
of a man that never falters, that never
gives up. He fights on faithfully and
persistently for the good Of himself and
Of his fellows. He keeps his eyes to the
front and pushes on toward the goal
that he sees in the distance. Machines
Of wondrous power and inventions of
marvellous intricacy have their uses, but
these are always dependent upon the
man. The forces OF nature are harnessed
and made to render service to society,
but 1t is the man that makes these things
possible. 1t is the man that counts.

The Lewis and Clark exposition which
was opened at Portland, Oregon, June 1, is
of more than ordinary significance, apart
from its special features of interest, in
that it commentaries the pioneer work
Of two superb leaders of men who made
possible the settlement of Oregon, then
comprising the present area OF oregon,
Washington, Idaho and a part OF Mon
tana, with its subsequent absorption into
the Union, through the foresight, per-
sistent energy and heroism of that later
pioneer, Marcus Whitman. Like the
famed George Rogers Clark, a half
brother of Captain Clark of the Lewis
and Clark expedition, these men were
in a real sense Commonwealth builders
and it is most fitting that this centennial
commemoration should be held in the
metropolis of Oregon and that it should
be in a measure a national tribute to
their SURPRISING courage and intelligence

The ArgentInes. A New Race of Men

l am often asked about the character
istics Of the people of Argentina AL
though it might be assumed that would
speak with favorable consideration be-
cause of my experience there as American
minister, want to say in all candor that
/ believe Argentina is becoming the home
of new, forceful energetic, and am
bilious race In other words, it would
seem as II the blending of the original
Spanish blood with that of other Latin
races, like the Italians and the French
together with an intermingling of Eng
lish, Irish, and German strains in a Won
derful climate and in a new country, was
evolving a people with the best charac-
teristics Of Rll these. The men average
large of physique, quick of action, and
clever of mind. The women are grace
full, bright, and possessed of Remarkable
finesse of manner and spirit. and they
hold into maturity their early beauty like
the women of the northern temperate
zone. In these descriptions 1 refer to
the higher grades the so-called lower
classes are uniformly healthy and vigor-
Gus, with average mentality.
The statistics of 1908 showed 1000, 900
foreigners in Argentina in a total of s.
100000. OF these 100000 were Italians,
100000 Spaniards, 100000 French 25, 900
English, $4,000 Germans, 5000 Swiss,
$4,000 Austrains, and the remainder Of
many nationalities. The number OF
Americans did not exceed 1900, although
many are coming now to go into cattle
raising and farming in the country or
into all kinds OF business in Buenos Ayres
English influence is very strong, especial
ly in financial circles, with the Germans
almost equally active. The Spanish
language is spoken everywhere, but Eng
fish is being heard more and more. These
cosmopolitan characteristics make the
social life OF Buenos Ayres particularly
interesting. Each nationality has its own
club, except that, OF course, the Ameri-
cans join with the English, as in other
parts Of the world when they are away
from their home countries. The total
population Of 100000 seems small, but
that is due to the former isolation OF
Argentina. The growth OF immigration
in the future will be large II the govern
ment enacts favorable laws.-From
