FRENCH PRESS URGES ACTION.
Government Must Protect Neutrality
and Preserve Worlds Peace.

Paris, April 22.-Japan's representa-
tion has had the effect OF bringing the
Franco Japanese incident to the front
rank of public attention. The leading
newspapers here adopt the govern
ment view that Foreign Minister Del
casse's assurances calm the situation.
Deputy de Lancessan tkadical Re
puDlican), former minister OF marine
and at one time governor OF lndo'
China, says in the Steele:
I'VE cannot ignore the fact that the
Japanese people are greatly eAciteu
by the war and that public opinion
may drive the Toxic cabinet to take
extreme action. We therefore insist
that the Rouyier ministry rapidly
adopt steps in conformity with the
interests OF France and the MAIN
tenance OF peace. ALI france agrees
that the government has the duiy OF
protecting French neutrality and thus
preserving the worlds peace
The Humanie lSocialisD says:
IF the impending naval battle oc
ours In Indo-Chinese waters and the
Russian squadron seeks refuge in ouI
ports then france may be suddenly
dragged into conflict in spite or hef
self that would mean war and the
government which, through feeble
ness and blindness, permitted such
catastrophe to occur would bear one
OF the most terrible responsibilities

The question is often asked how
one treatment can be goad for every
thing. Is not pure air and pure water
beneficial to the system7 If so, will
it not benefit every organ OF the sys-
tenn to purify the blood, and elimi-
nate the large amount of poison that
collects in the system? Is not regulat-
ing the bowels beneficial to the entire
system, and absolutely necessary to
the proper condition of health? Ii so,
why should it not be just as necessary
to open up the seven million pores IN
the skin, which is the sewerage OF the
entire system, letting off the deadly
poison which thousands of people are
carrying about in their bodies perfect
ignorant of their condition. You can
easily see this process OF renovation

MONDAY, JUNE 5, 1905.

The Ohio state convention is being discussed pretty thoroughly and ac- lively at Washington these days, says our correspondent, because of the speech made out there by Secretary Taft, and because he is looked upon as the mouthpiece of the administra- tion as no other man in the cabinet is. His speech out there was in most re- spects an orthodox defense of the ad- ministration. In general, republicans are great and good, democrats weak and wicked; republicans propose wise and statesmanlike measures; demo- crats oppose with folly and trickery. He said further, in particular, the railway rate bill is moderate in pro- visions; and If the republicans do not redress grievances by rallying in SUD- port of it, William J. Bryan may lead a formidable movement for govern ment ownership. The man who lays his hand upon the Monroe doctrine, save in the way of kindness, is wretch whom 'twere gross flattery to name coward. The big stick is none too big and the gentleman who carries 1t exercises ''a degree of forbearance that the confidence of strength and a righteous purpose justifes."

YOUR HABITUAL EXPRESSION.

What kind of an expression do you wear habitually? Is it sour, morose, repellent? Is it a mean, stingy, con temptible, uncharltable, intolerant ex- pression? Do you wear the express ion of bulldog. grasping, greedy, hungry expression which indicates an avaricious nature? Do you go about among your employees with thunder cloud expression. with melancholy Respondent hopeless look on your face, or do you wear the sunshine ex- pression which radiates good cheer and hope. which indicates feeling of good will and of. helpfulness? Do people smile and look happier when you approach them, or do they shrink from you, and feel chilly goose flesh sensation come over them as they see you approach?
 It makes all the difference In the world to you and to those whom you influence what kind of an expression you wear.--Orison Swett Warden in Success" Magazine.

Booker Washingtons theories are at

 suit of President John Gordon to put
 them In execution. Manual training is all right for the masses down south, sons and daughters of government em- ployes to labor with their hands it is carrying theories a little too far. Latin and Greek, medicine and law appeal
 to them much more strongly. How ard university is a negro institution
 for higher" education more or less under the government control, and
 President Gordon is white man. In addition to entertaining the idea that many good cook and carpenter is spoiled to make q poor lawyer or doe tor, President Gordon has assumed the attitude that his duties were admins hhtiNt anu ptA1LV-itai III ihhi d'ltT- rather than social. and has failed to entertain the distinguished negroes who have visited the university as the students thought they should he enter tained. One of the most grievous charges against Mr Gordon is that he has given but one reception to the col ored professors and their wives, and. as far as known, has not entertained any of them at dinner. The matter came to climax when Camille Boltz a dusky damsel from Mobile. Ala. de- clined 10 accept paper diploma when she wanted a sheepskln. Her cheek flushing with indignation. she stated she would be ashamed to take such q paper home. According 10 the story. Mr Gordon informed her she could throw it in the fire if she did not want it. Being reported to the students. their smouldering indignation burst into a flame and revolt impended.

Speaking of Secretary Taft's chan ces of getting into the white house, and his fitness for the position now held by President Roosevelt, writer in New York paper says that. "Fo many republicans outside Ohio Mir Taft is an exceedingly unacceptable candidate through his identification with the policy which robbed the people of the Philippines of self-gov- ernment, and set up sham of that in place of the rule they enjoyed be-
 fore our coming to those islands. It is not charged that he was the worst of the agents we employed to break down the native institutions and wound the self-respect of brave and proud people. But itjs beypnd auesb ton that he accepted that task most willingly, and devoted all his abilities to an achievement which myriads of American voters think no less wicked than is the brutal murder of an un- offending human being. It is true that Mir Taft shares so far in the saner mood which the President has reach ed, as to speak of our rule in the Philippines as temporary arrange ment, and one which is to come to an end when we have raised the people to the level at which they will be capable of self government.
