Captain Roosevelt Steamboatman.

1t is an almost forgotten fact that
President Roosevelt's grandfather was
the first man to navigate a steamboat
on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers.
Captain Roosevelt was a close per.
sonal friend of Robert Fulton, in.
ventor Of the steamcraft Soon after
Fulton's successful voyage on the
Hudson the captain conceived the idea
Of navigating on western waters
In the spring of 1911 the vessel was
launched at Pittsburg and the presi-

to the gulf. He entered the Missis.
sippi during the throes of the earth
quake which devastated SC much of
southern Missouri, but wea thered the
tumult successfully and continued his

HYBRIDS.

Nature but rarely goes into the n.y.
brid business when left alone by man.
Her laws governing the reproduction
of the different species of natural life.
both animal and vegetable, are very
rigid and only in the rarest of cases
ever transgressed. While she provides
in a most wonderful manner for the
cross fertilization among the members
of every given species and always ar
bitrarily for the survival of the fittest
as prOgenitorS, the most complete or
der prevails as to the intermingling of
species. For an English sparrow to
take song sparrow for a mate, for q
the wood thrush to take a mate in the
brown thrush, or for any of the score
or more Of the warbler family. some SO
nearly alike that the color of a feather
or two alone gives the family identi-
ty, to mate outside family lines would
be almost as great a wonder as for the
sun or the moon to become erratic in
its movements. This unerring fidel-
lty to the law governing natural re-
production is one of the most wonder
full to be seen in nature. Man, how
ever, steps in and arbitrarily sets aside
this law and secures many types Of
hybridS, some useful and some merely
curiosities. His greatest success in
this line has been with the mule. and
now he is crossing the zebra and the
horse, with some prospect of success.
He has crossed the lion and the tiger
and many other animals which are so
to speak, first cousins to each other,
but that this work is contrary to nat
ural law is amply proved by the fact
that all these hybrid productions are
sterile and totally incapable of repro
ducing their kind At best the hybrid
business is rarely a success and is as
little so with regard to man himself
as with the lower forms of life The
very worst types of the human race
are the mixed blOods wherever found

TIE QTAck DOCTOR.

One of tie nearest Swindles perpe-
grated on country folk is worked by the
travelling quack doctor. Nearly all
country communities are worked by
him to his profit His method is some
thing like this: He first goes to the
local bank and gets list of names of
falnlers WHO are rated good and whose
paper he can readily dispose of. Then
he inaugurates a still hunt for all cases
Of sickness of long standing and chronic
cases which no doctor ON earth could
cure. These are approached by his rep
resentatve, usually slick looking and a
smooth talker, and the wonderful heal
ing power of the doctor is enlarged on
and mass of manufactured certificates
Of his great success exhibited AS is
natural, people of this class and their
friends also are peculiarly susceptible
when any definite prospect of relief is
held out and are only too willing to
experiment in any manner and try any
new treatment Later the doctor him
self calls, and he is usually got up to
still further impress the family and the
patient that he is able to bring about
the much desired restoration to health
A deal is made. Sometimes it is note
given, obscurely drawn, mo cure no
pay" contract, which is still easily
negotiable at the bank. Some medicine
is sent, and the SO called treatment be-
gins, only to be shortly abandoned as
utterly worthless. The note, however,
is realized on, and the doctor can't be
found, his great hospital in the city be-
ing a pure myth. We have known of
dozens of cases of this sort and many
others where the scheme was a month
ly payment for absent treatment,
equally worthless. Usually the opinion
of the family physician in all such
cases is well worth needing, and no I'M
known stranger should be patroniZed.
save with his approval 1t is bad
enough to be bunkoed by a lightning
rod fakir, cloth peddler, a patent
right shark OF map vender, but to be
done up by Quack doctor through the
love and regard one has for his family
is the worst of all. The safe way is
to pay no attention to his specious ad-
vertisements, and should he call per-
sonally have the interview terminate
with the doctors coat tails flying down
the road with the dog after him.

Holding Cotton.

THE ADVERTISER has never advised
anybody to hold cotton. We do not
offer advice about something we know
nothing about. Nevertheless the fact
remains that the people generally all
over the cotton states are holding a
large share of their cotton, and the
various advices indicate that they are
in a position to hold out to the bitter
end and are determined to do so.
If such is the case they will win this
time and will realize a good price for
their cotton.
However such a course will result in
no permanent good unless the farmers
give more attention to other crops,
thereby providing their own supplies
and at the same time reducing the cot
ton acreage.
We do not advocate the reduction of
fertilizers. The object in using ferti-
lizers is to lessen the cost of production
and if used inteligently, the purpose
will be accomplished.
Our advice is to shorten the produc-
ton, but to diminish the cost in every
possible manner

Russia's CowardIy Car.

Golfers for February 4 refers to the
Car as a coward, and speaking of Rus
sia's future says:
The present Cars grandfather was
a man in whom liberal intentions, alter
mated with panic, stupidity, and cruelty.
After he had freed the serfs he became
reactionary. Finding that the people
expected further progress, and that
progress meant arrogance, he became
querelous, and was blown to heaven in
1881. His weakness, like that of the
present unfortunate, might almost as
we'll have been malice. Nicholas III, like
his grandfather, has had intentions
which nave only served for paving
stones. These two rulers have been
neither strong enough to succeed as
tyrants nor strong enough to keep a
tactful progress just ahead of discon-
tent. The stricken peasants whom the
Car has slaughtered are victims of his
feebleness. The weakness of the ruler
is visited on the people. Alexander III,
father of the present Gear, was a
stronger man than Alexander III or
than Nicholas. He lacked their inter-
mittent and fr~agmentary dreams of
progress, but he had brains and char
actcr enough to get along in some com
fort in the statu quo. The war UNI
doubleday has made it harder for Nicho-
las, but he had already thoroughly
shown how dangerous a petulant weak
ling must be in his difficult position
An eloquent and fearless man could
probably have outwitted and pacified
tho people Tor a long time by receiving
their petition, by assuring them Of his
sysmathy, but declaring that the one
thing which they must do, before any
radical changes could be undertaken,
was to bring Russia victorious from the
present a Mere dash might have
done as much as that. Intelligence and
knowledge of these times would have
granted changes so quietly that this
convulslon would never have occurred.
The Russians are patient, loyal, spiritual
people, who could be led to liberal gov.
eminent with smoothness and without
extremes, had the autocrat happened tt
be of more fitting stock than the pres.
ent house Of Romanoff. So moderate
and simply wise are the Russian people
that a long series of extremes in spasms

Russia, and come at an increasing
speed, but there will be no more VIC.
lence in its approach than is made neces-
sary by the cowardice or shallow igno.

Writing for the Papers.

The Rev. DIR. Hall, of McConnells-
vile, S. c., says:
"It is rarely that one sees a signed
article by any of IL ministers in the
county papers. If a minister is asked
to furnish an article on a specific sub
ject it is usually gladly furnished, but
ing himself upon the public, If he
writes he feels that an apology is due.
l am persuaded that this is a false
modesty. No man need apologize for
taking advantage of opportunities of
advancing the cause of Christ and pro-
noting righteousness. The business
man is alive to the value of the county
paper. in promoting his business, and
he makes use of it; his advertisements
fill its pages. The politician knows the
value of the county paper, and makes
large use of it in securing his election.
The ministers of the Gospel and other
religious workers alone seem to have
failed to realize the possibilities in the
county paper. There are exceptions,
but the rule is that the county paper
has been wholly neglected as a means
of promoting the cause of Christ and
morality in general.
I'm order to illustrate the whole sub
ject a bit of history will be mentioned.
A number of ministers in Bethel Pres
bytery, Synod of South Carolina, UNI
dertook to furnish articles of a relig-
ious and moral character regularly to
three county papers in different parts
of the Presbytery, each article appear
ing simultaneously in all the papers.
The articles were furnished for six
months. They were gladly published,
and eagerly read, the interest growing
to the very last. The articles were
largely copied by other papers over the
State. A maker of patent sheets
took them up, and they appeared in
every paper, using his service. In this
way the articles were given a very
large circulation.
1.-THE plan adopted in Bethel Presby-
terry may not always be feasible, but it
is always feasible for individual minis
tiers to furnish articles to the county
papers on religious and moral subjects"
We agree with DIR. Hall that the
ministers could accomplish much good
by contributing to the county papers.
We wish that they would often use the
columns of THE ADVERTISER.
However, one point all who contri-
butte to newspapers should bear in
mind. They should make their con
tributions brief. The 10th. Psalm is a
very long chapter but David was very
careful in his writings not to cover a
great deal of space at one time.
King Solomon was a very brilliant
writer. He has never been rivalled as
a maker of pointed paragraphs. No other
man has been able to change a dozen
woads with such tremendous force. The
unlearned men who wrote the Gospels
said what they meant. The Bible was
inspired but that is all the more reason
why others should study it as a model
of expression.
1t is out of the question for THE AID
User to print a sermon of three or four
columns. Our facilities for printing
are limited. We would be glad to print
half a dozen or a dozen communications
from II friends every week-that is,
from those who really have something
to say.
