Civil Service Pensions.

An organization calling itself the
United States Civil Service Retire
ment association, whose name sug-
gests its purpose, desires the enact
ment of legislation pensioning gov
eminent employees. 1t demands that
all civil servants of the national gov
eminent who have served twenty
years shall be retired on half pay.
The men who are advocating this
proposition are, of course, the men
who hope to profit by its adoption.
They are government employees and
they are interested in securing legis-
lation which will attach them to the
government pay roll for life.
But there is no sufficient reason
why they should enjoy monopoly
of government support. Why not
pension all of us? In the last analy-
sis the unofficial citizen is as much
entitled to a pension as the public
functioinary is. That is state social
ism and civil service pensions are an
introduction to socialism.

Keep your blood clean as you keep your
body clean. You don't wait until your
body is foul before you cleanse it.
1t is a matter of surprise that many peo-
pie who are SO careful to have clean bodies
make no effort to keep the blood clean.
Everyone knows that uncleanness breeds
disease; that those who do not keep their
bodies in a wholesome condition and who
dwell in filthy surroundings are the first to
fall when some epidemic Of disease sweeps
the country. But foul blood is more dan
geTous to the individual than foul BODY.
An unclean body is rather a passive than
an active hindrance to health. But uncleau
blood is an active threat against the very
life-it makes the body prepared breed
ing place for disease.
1t is part of Natures plan for human
safety that In many cases where the blood
is impure or corrupt she sets sign on the
body in proof of the corrupt current that is
flowing through the veins. Scrofula with
Its dishguring sores and scars, eczema with
its irritation, salt-rheum, letter, erysipelas,
boils, pimples and other eruptions are only
the outward signs of the impurity of the
blood But often in the earlier or simpler
stages of the blood's impurity there are no
outward signs of this condition; only dull,
languid sluggish feelings, which are COM
of the liver
OF all preparations for purifying the
blood DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry easily takes the first place. II elimin-
ates from the blood the elements which
clog and corrupt It, and which breed and
feed disease. It acts directly on the blood
making glands, increasing their activity,
and increasing the supply of rich, pure
blood which is the life of the body.

Indian Territory and Statehood.

1t has been generally supposed that
the next session of congress would
see some definite action taken on the
statehood question, but there is now
some reason for thinking that his
vexed question will again be side
tracked and in way that may pre-
vent decisive action upon it for years

convention held at Muskogee, l. T.,
have adopted resolutions declaring
that their territory must be admitted
TO the Union as a single state. Any
effort 20 admit it Jointly with Okla
homa, as proposed, will encounter
their stubborn resistance Sooner
than accept joint statehood, the
statesmen of "Sequoyah" as they
have styled the territory,will prefer
to remain out of the union indefinite
ly
If the politicians who insist upon
erecting this territory into an indie
pndent state, with two United States
senatorships and a complete set OF
state Offices to disburse, remain firm
in their position, they can only sue
coed in postponing the statehood pro-
ject indefinitely. There is not the
slightest prospect that Congress will
ratify their plan or that the popular
judgment would uphold it in so do
ing.
