GOV. JOS. FOLK IN new YORK
The Governor Of Missouri Addresses
the Missouri Society.
He Was the Guest of mt the
Annun banquet OF the Society
at the waldorf ASTORIA.

New York, March 29.-Gov. Joseph
honor and the principal speaker at a
banquet of the Missouri society at the
Waldorf Astoria Tuesday night. At
the right Of the governor sat District
Attorney Jerome, who also made a
brief address. Gov. Folk said in part:
THE Missouri idea means the en-
forcement of the law, and that If the
law be bad the remedy is to repeal,
not to ignore ii. There is entirely too
little respect for law in America. In
every state we find laws a nullity for
policy's sake. Such a thing is I'M
known in any other land. Disregard
of one law breeds disrespect for all
law. In allowing some laws to go I'M
enforced we real a harvest in having
all laws broken. The law may not be
to ones liking, but the answer, 1T is
law should be sufficient for the law
abiding. Good men will observe even
bad laws, but bad men will break even
good laws. 1t should be that all men,
good and bad, be compelled to keep
all law good and bad, because it is the
law. But how careless people usually
are as to whether laws are enforced or
not. This lethargy gives rise to civic
evils. Indeed, nearly all public
wrongs grow out of the indifference
of the people. There are many who
thrill with patriotic fervor at the
thought of going to war and risking
their lives for their country, but
who forget to vote on election
day. The patriotism of peace is just
as necessary as the patriotism OF war.
The patriotism of the ballot is even
more necessary in a free country than
the patriotism of a bullet. Plenty OF
men will die N their country, but the
man who will live for his city and
state every day is the man good gov
eminent needS."

CHILDREN
By Mothers Food and Drink.

Many babies have been launched
into life with constitutions weakened
by disease taken in with their moth
er's milk. Mothers cannot be too care
full as to the food they use while nurs-
ing their babes. The experience of a
Kansas City mother is a case in point:
Il was a great coffee drinker from a
child, and thought | could not eat a
meal without it. But | found at last
it was doing me harm. For years l
had been troubled with dizziness, spots
before my eyes and pain in my heart,
to which was added, two years ago, a
chronic sour stomach. The baby was
born 7 months ago, and almost from
the beginning, it, too, suffered from
sour stomach. She was taking it from
me!
"In my distress l consulted a friend
of more experience than mine, and she
told me to quit coffee, that coffee did
not make good milk, l have since ascer-
tanned that it really dries up the milk.
$50, / quit coffee, and tried tea and
at last Goa But they did mot agree
Will ulc. luSu l. tuTutu u TOStum COI-
fee with the happiest results. 1t
proved to be the very thing l needed.
1t not only agreed perfectly with baby
and myself, but it increased the flow
Of my milk. My husband then quit
coffee and used Postum, quickly got
well of the dyspepsia with which he
had been troubled. I no longer suf-
fer from the dizziness, blind spells,
pain in my heart or sour stomach.
Postum has cured them.
Nov we all drink Postum, from nv
husband to my seven-months'-o ld
baby. 1t has proved to be the best hot
drink we have ever used. We would
not give up Postum for the best cof-
fee We ever drank" Name given by

PEACE,
NOT ARMED TRUCE
One Of the Conditions Japan is Like.
ly to Insist Upon.
RUSSIA MUST GIVE A PLEDGE
| Must Build No More Warships For q
Term of Years, and Must Not
Back OF Only to Come
Again Later.

Paris, March Pit is stated in
diplomatic quarters here that among
the conditions Of peace which Japan
might ask would be that Russia give
q pledge to build no more warshlps
for a term of years. A diplomatic Of
fetal said that such a condition would
be the most effective means of assur-
Ing Japan against Russia's carrying out
her cherished project of naval rearma-
ment for the renewal of hostilities IN
der better conditions than those at
present existing.
Would Check Russia's Plans.
1t is we'll known that Russia con-
templates a huge plan of naval re
Mobilization. Admiral Doubasoff, the
head of the technical board OF the ad-
miralty; Capt. Clado, formerly CHIEF
tactical officer under Vice-Admiral
R~ojestvensky, and other Russian nava
authorities, recently have taken the
position that peace was desirable until
a naval reconstruction could be com
pleted.
This appears to have stimulated ia
pans diplomats to consider means OF
avoiding a peace that would be equlva-
lent to no more than a truce, during
which Russia would have time to forge
an effective weapon, and therefore the
| ,ntimation is now given that Limitation
If Russian naval armament may figure
IS a means of securing prolonged
| a in the orient.
| Peace Pour Par1ers Only dem
Concerning the recent preliminary
approaches towards peace, it is nov
accepted in the highest diplomatic
| quarters that these preliminary negoti'
ations did not occur there, although
| Paris may have been the channe
through which the results were trans
| mitted to st. Petersburg and TOXIC
However, it is noticeable that ther'
| has not been the slightest reference IL
| French newspapers to the peace move
ment having taken tangible form her
or elsewhere, except in continued
| academic discussion of the peace prop
uganda and a few vague st. Peters
burg dispatches showing that peace Il

Tampering With Witnesses.

indictments VIII ISSUE.

Chicago, March 31.-Conspiracy in
dictments are threatened against the
heads Of big meat packing concerns
unless alleged tampering with wit
nesses who have been summoned to
testify before the federal grand jury is
discontinued at once. With two wit
nesses on the stand, Thursday, who it
is asserted, admitted hat they had
been approached with a suggestion
that their testimony be mild, the jury,
it is declared, is getting ready to take
drastic action.
"Wewill shut off interference with wit
nesses,'' said Assistant Attorney-Gen-
eral Pagin, ".even if we have to resort
to proceedings under the conspiracy
statute to do so.'
Belief is general that Mr.. Pagin has
already laid out plans of new indict-
ments.
The Is secret service men who have
been frequenting the corridors in the
building where the grand jury is IN
session were not to be seen Thursday.
District Attorney Morrison is said to
have ordered that waiting witnesses,
| instead of spending their time in the
| vicinity of the jury room, are to be
| concealed in down town hotels until
called before the jury. In this way the
witnesses will be more readily pre-
vented from learning the identity OF
the secret service men watching for

no doubt about their merits. We do moi

how well they deserve praise.

DR.. Williams Pink Pills explain it.
"My oldest girls health began to fail
when she was about fourteen. She was
nervous, complained of sharp pains III
her head, would get deathly sick and
haveto leave the schoolroom to get fresh
air to revive her. Igave some pills to her.

her troubles, and caused her to develop
into a perfect picture of health. Then my

found that they would cure that too. SO
you see we have all got great good from

mend them to others"

They have cured anaemia, and all forms

cases of dyspepsia and rheumatism.
They are indispensable for growing girls.

Rooseveltian Sentiments.

The United States consul general at
Marseilles has been directed to deliver
personally to Frederic Mistral, the Pro-
vencal poet, a letter of appreciation and
congratulation written by President
Roosevelt. Mistral shared with Jose
Echegaray, a Spanish dramatist, the
Nobel prize for literature awarded last
year. Mistral writes in the Provencal
dialect, the dialect in which the trouba-
dours sang, and which is still spoken in
the south of France. 1t is peculiarly
fitted, says Youths Companion, for the
expression of plain and homely senti-
ments to-day. The kind of things Mis-
trail has praised in it is well described by
the president in his letter. Mr.. Roose-
welt wrote: You are teaching a lesson
that none more need to learn than we of
the west. Factories and railroads
are good up to a certain point, but cour-
age and endurance, love of wife and
child, love of home and country, love of
lover for sweetheart, love of beauty in
mans work and in nature, love and en-
ulation of daring and lofty e%ndeavor,
are the homely workaday and heroic vir-
tues. . If they are lacking, no
piled-up riches, no roaring, changing in
dustrialism, no feverish and many-sided
activity shall avail either in individual
or nation" Mistral himself once said
that he wrote about "the majestic deeds
of rural life, forever harsh, but eternally
honest, wholesome, Independent and
calm"

SECRETARY HAY TO RETIRE.
His Desire to Lay Down h Cares
of Office Know to and Regret
ted BY the President.

Washington, March 27.-It may be
stated on the best of authority that
Secretary Of State Hay will not resume
his place in the cabinet on his return
from his present vacation.
His brilliant career as premier OF the
McKinley-Roosevelt administrations
has practically come to a close. Ill
health is the sole cause of his deter
mination to retire, and nc n will re-
greet the severance of the intimate per-
sonal and official relations that have
existed between them for the past five
years, more than President Roosevelt
himself.
1t was just prior to his departure
from Washington that Mr.. Hay ac-
quainted tho president with his desire
to lay aside the state department folio.
The president was unable to induce the
secretary to reconsider his course
regretfully stated that If he were still
of the same mind on his return he
would accept his resignation.
It has been well known to Secretary
Hays close personal and official
friends that his health has rapidly
failed during the last few months, re-
| sulting from the strain of overwork,
they have hoped that q few weeks com"
| plete rest, with change of air and
scene, would enable him to and
resume his place at the head of the
state department.
That hope has been abandoned.
| While there is no fear of a fatal ter
mination of his present sickness, it is
| realized that the secretary's active par
ticipation in public affairs has come to
| an end.

Money and Family Ties.

Were human nature in its family
relations TO be judged solely by the
incidents which are reported in the
newspapers, the skeptic and the pes
simist might perhaps have reason for
the unfaith which is in them. There
are always sons who have been dlsln-
herited, daughters who are estranged
from parents, or sisters who are ven
tilating a quarrel in court. Yet not
infrequently, says Youths Companion
the also show the other
side of the shield. Only lately a
brother became the sole heir to a large
fortune which was intended to PROVIDE
for two sisters, as well. The testator
left it to the brother to manage TOT
the benefit of all. The heir, however,
feeling that his sisters ought not to be
exposed to any risk or uncertainty
made over the whole property to them
before "a hours had passed. There Is
no rock on which family affections So
often go to wreck as on that or money
the settling of an estate, or the
provisions Of a will. Yet those con-
comitants of a death in the family
are the very circumstances when
ought to bring all the members closer
together, and make them more charlt-
able and more forgiving. In some
cases, no doubt, the testator himself
is at fault. BY common consent hu-
mainly has accepted the motto, Q
ing but good about the dead; ano
if enmity is thus to be cast aside by
the living who look into an open
grave, why should it be cherished and
carried over by him who has received
the great summons? Why should he
wish to stretch from the unseen world
a hand clenched to infict pain rather
than one open in blessing and ben
e~ficence? The love that keeps a fam
lily together is worth any amount OF
Justice at court or of bonds at the
bankers. The way to preserve 1t
when an inheritance is in prospect. is
exactly to reverse the rule usually fol
lowed. When your own interests are
at stake, keep still; speak and act only
when those of the other members OF
the family are affected.

The Japanese treated all who fell INTO

there were no women of that avocation
