Millions prior to him had seen the

An eminent physician says that
"Women are not truthful; they will lie
to their physician This statement
should be qualified; women do tell the
truth, but not the whole truth, to a
male physician. but this is only in re-
gard to those painful and troublesome
disorders peculiar to their sex.
There can be no more terrible ordeal
to delicate, sensitive, refined woman
than to be obliged to answer certain
questions when those questions are
asked, even By her family physician
This is especially the case with un-
married women.
Is it any wonder, then, that women
continue to suffer and that doctors
fail to cure female diseases when they
cannot get the proper information 70
work on?
This is the reason why thousands and
thousands OF women are now corre-
spending with Mrs. Pinkham. To her
they can and do give every symptom,
so that she really knows more about
the true condition of her patients.
through her correspondence with theD
than the physician who personally
questions them.
Ifyou suffer from any form OF trouble
peculiar to women, write 1T once "a
Mrs. Pinkham. Lynn, Mass, and she
viii advise you free Of charge.
The fact that this great boon, whiei,
Is extended freely to women by Mrs..

sands Of letters received by her prove.
Many such grateful letters - the fol-
lowing are constantly pouring In.

The Presidents Opinion.
Richmond Times Dispatch.

Richmond Times Dispatch.
'It is clear to ALL" said President
Roosevelt in his address, ''that the
triumph of the cause of freedom and
Of the Union was essential to the well
fare Of mankind.
This is q broud statement. 1t NAV
b' that 1.-The triumph of the cause OF
freedom and of the Union was essen
ti,il to the welfare of mankind" but
it is not ''clesir to all Slavery was
doomed long before the war began,
but it is not necessarily true that the
emancipation of the slaves could have
come in another way save through
bloody war. There Was Il strong sell-
tin,ent throughout the South in favor
Of emancipation and many Of US who
were born and reared here believe that
if the North had not interfered the
Southern people in their own way
would have set the slaves free. Slav-
cry had become burdensome and
demoralizing and in time it would
have become intolerable. OF this we
have no shadow of a doubt. We are
also persuaded that it had been far
better il emancipation had come
through the voluntary act OF the
slave-owners rather than through
force OF arms. In this way we should
have escaped the horrors and deves-
tations of war and the terrors, ,humil-
Mtion and decentralization of re.'on-
struction. If we had been left free to
settle this question in our way by de-
xrees we should have given the slaves
their liberty;w should havepreserve'i
the kind relation existing between
them and their owners; we should
have helped them to improve their
condition, instructed them in the art
of government, and as they becmae
qualified We should have put the bal
lot into their hands. Ours would
have been Il policy of benevolent as-
similation" in sincerity and common
sense, and we should have avoided
the stupid blunders which the North
made in giving the slaves their free
dom one day, putting the ballot into
their hands the next and plunging
them without training or qualiica-
tion into the whirlpool Of politics, to
be the victims of designing carpet
baggers.
We shall never believe that the war
between the States was necessary or
! iustifiable. We shall never believe
that this was the only means or the
best means of abolishing slavery. Nor
do we believe that the triumph OF
Federal arms was essential to the
welfare of mankind. The war is over
and we are glad Of it; the slaves are
free and we are glad of that. But we
can see no sufficient reason why the
President should lose no opportunity
to give expression to his view that
the triumph of the Confederate cause
would have been u disaster to hu'
manity or would have perpetuated
slavery. The President is entitled to
his opinion; but we "f the South art
equally entitled to ours.

Anent the question OF reducing rep
resentation in the South, the Boston
Post makes some very pertinent re-
marks-remarks that hit the bulls
eye and ring the bell. The Post says:
1.-The Republican Club of the city OF New
York now comes forward with q spur t.
the laggards in Congress who hesitate to
cut down the representation Of those
Southern States which prescribe educa-
tional qualifcationsfor voters. They say
that there was plank in the Republican
platform promising to do this, and they
want Immediate action
THE New York Republicans point out
exactly where thecut il to be made. From
eleven Of the Southern States nineteen
members Of Congress are to be taken. This
reduction is based upon the number Of H.
literates, mainly colored persons OF voting
age, who cannot read and write, and,
therefore, are disfranchised. The demand
ia made practically along the lines OF the
bill introduced early in the present ses.
sion.
"Will this scheme ever be carried out?
No, indeed. 1t it were to be applied to
the South, it would have to be applied
equally to the North; and that never
would do.
Right here in Massachusetts, our SUI
irage laws disfranchise for illiteracy az
many as are excluded from the polls in
Tennessee for the same reason, half as
many again as in Arkansas, twice
as many as in Florida, and almost a.
many in Louisiana and North Carolina
IF it is wicked down there. it il wicked
up here. And unless a Republican Con-
gress is ready to wipe out one or two
Massachusetts, Congressman, 1t will not
venture to rob the South OF nineteen"
In other words, what is sauce for
the goose should be sauce for the
gander. But It's "A matter OF fart, too
much attention has been paid to this
rot about reducing representation
from the South. Certain Republicans
who wanted to get on the band wagon
have been shooting of their mouths,
for it is charity to say they have bet

Slander on the Women.
Raleigh Times.

NalelSn lines.
An exchange prints the statement
that "sixty-nine per cent. of the in
mates of Il Western prison say that
they were led to commit crime by the
-pXtravagance of their wives"
We refuse to believe tit is d base
slander on the sex. About 60 per
cent. Of them are unmitigated liars.
Ever since the time when old Adam
lusted after the forbidden apple and
laid the blame on the woman, the
male towards OF the world have
been following his disgraceful ex-
ample.
The long grey whiskers on this old
Lie need the services of the barber.
There are men who will 20 and do
something mean or dishonest, or get
on the wrong side of the market and
get drunk, and then swear that their
extravagant wives or unhappy do
nestle relat tions drove them to it.
1t is too thin.
There may be cases, there probably
are, where men marry extravagunt
and improvident women. without
knowing they are that kind of women
at the time, and where such marriages
turn out badly" But they are the
exceptions.
AS Il general rule the average wife
is more economical and provident
than the husband-and she will cheer
fully and uncomplainingly submit to
personal sacrifices and privations
when the wolf threatens the home,
while the man will kick like a seer
and swear at his misfortunes like a
trooper.
And she has greater ability to get
along under strain and come safely
through financial disaster.
Her ide;sls are higher, her code OF
honor more binding than the mans.
And it is Gods truth to say that
her benign influence over her husband
is distinctively and decidedly good.

Lawyers Completely in Crime.
Boston Watchman.

Boston Wutchman.
1t is the greatest anomaly in cur
rene ethical ideas that it is considered
proper and right lor lawyer to ally
himself with the wrong in case in
court and to use his best talent to
secure the acquittal OF u criminal or
the triumph of u wrong. In no other
profession or calling would such q
line of action be tolerated for one
moment. Any other person placing
himself in such position is at once
excluded from respectable society,
and is regarded as bad as the crimi-
nal himself. Very curiously also the
law takes the same position in regard
to all persons shielding criminals, or
aiding in the triumph OF wrong over
right. They are regarded as 'acces-
sUries after the fact" and are pun
ished as ''particeps criminis" or ac-
completes in the crime. There is, of
course, necessity that persons ac-
cused should haveall possible oppor-
tunity to secure justice. But there is
no element of ethics which calls for
special facilities for those guilty of
crimes to escape punishment, or
which justifies any person Of any pro-
fession or under any code of proce-
dure in aiding criminals to escape
punishment or helping wrong-doers
to secure victory over those whose
rights they have invaded. 1t is a
curious commentary on the force Of
form and usage above real truth and
righteousness that lawyers alone OF
all others are considered entitled to
take the position Of accessories in
crime and to share in the profits OF
fraud. But aside from custom it is
impossible to show why ii lawyer
who aids in the escape OF II criminal
from his just punishment, or enables
an attempt at fraud to he success
fully carried out, should not he pun
ished as an accomplice, as any other
person would be who did exactly the
same thing.

A Dangerous Policy.
Raleigh Post.


The editor of the North Carolina
Baptist pummels the nail hard on the
head ;ls follows: There is talk in
Raleigh that if the city does not con-
tinue to get one-half of the money
made from the dispensary there that
it will kill the institution in the eyes
Of many Raleigh folks: Now then. 1t
looks like their love for the institu-
ton is not the reform that it may
accomplish, but the dollars they can
make Off the poor unfortunates in the
capital city. This thing OF running a
public liquor shop for tn. money that
can be made out of it for the public
treasury is n dangerous policy. 1t
is calculated to make moral towards
OF men and lead them to sell into
ruin and disgrace Il large part of their
fellow men III order to get revenue
for public purposes. 1t is q crime
against God and man to make mer-
chandiSe of men,
The Morning Post, several months
ago, seeing the trend OF things here,
undertook to show that the dispen-
sary was not a moral institution, and
was promptly informed through
another newspaper, by a man who
was an ardent advWate Of the dis
pensary, that it was never claimed
for it that it was Il moral institution.
No denial came from any source, and
since then it has only been recognized
as Il revenue producer.
This much is said that people in
other towns may know that Raleigh
citizens are not deceived about what
they have in the dispensary, and. SO
far as we can see, are practicing no
deception about it.
