PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT is bent on a
complete over turning of the present
system of doing government business,
if it is possible, if some of the things
reported to him are found to be cor
rect, and if some Of the business sys-
tens complained of to him are found
to actually exist. He has appointed a
commission of his personal friends to
investigate the methods Of doing bust
eness in the departments and by the
government generally. They are men
particularly qualified, in his judg-
ment, to make an investigation and
to report a comprehensive plan for
correcting evils said to exist. The
commission as named, includes James
r. Garfield, chief of the bureau of cor
porations; Clifford Pinchot, chief of
the bureau of forestry and Frank Fl.
Hitchcock, the first assistant post
master general. The commission has
been at work for three or four days
making exhaustive inquiries into the
manner OF employing help, Of fixing
salaries, of purchasing supplies, of
renting buildings for public use, Of
heating and lighting them and of con-
Quoting the public business generally,
where the discretion of the public Off
Gals alone is INVOLVED and the manner
of conduct is not specifically set forth
in the statutes. There is reason, to
believe that the investigation will go
even farther than the methods Of do
ing the government business and will
deal with the competency of officials.
1t has been repeatedly charged that
men are held in their places and adj
vanced grade by grade through senior
ity or political pull, in spite of the
civil service requirements and the in
tent Of the laws. The principal chiefs
Of divisions and of bureaus will be ex-
amined to discover their fitness for
the places they occupy, their grasp of
public business and their familiarity
with best business methods.

Brunswick, where the Republican and
Democratic members of Common Coun-
Gil are at odds over the question of
granting wholesale liquor license to
John Mulyey, who was at one time a
Democrat, but who has changed his
politics. His old political friends are
resentful and have succeeded in hold
ing up his application for license.
In revenge, the Republican Council
men have held up the applications Of
five prominent Democratic workers,
and the nltimatum has been issued
that Mulyey must be licensed or the
five will be sacrificed. The difference

$3.50 to $3.50 a year. AS result the

Total number or casualties in
the United States ........4 a.


1t is as if a battle had been fought
in this country on the last Fourth of
July with this list Of casualties.
Patriotism is one thing.
A desire to make anoise is not nee
cessarily an exhibit of patriotism. A
disposition to indulge in license that
is not permitted on other days is no
primary facie evidence of respect for
the fathers. Nor is a slaughter of the
innocents proper accompaniment of
the nations natal day.
Therefore
Parents who have boys who have a
fondness for explosives, toy pistols and
blank cartridges should study the sta
tistics of the annual tragedy, and
keep their flesh and blood out of the
holocaust.
Also
Dealers in fireworks should study
the figures in connection with the laws
regulating the use of firearms and ex-
plosives and realize the risk they run.
And
City authorities should prepare to
enforce the ordinances and the laws re-
specting the sale and use Of explosives
before and on the day we celebrate.
The Chinese method of American
celebration is entirely too COSTLY

SECRETARY Of the Treasury Shaw
plans TO conduct a Presidential cam
paign on lines parallel to those on
which Mckinley won the nomination
in 1896. He proposes to use the same
issue, to exploit it in much the same
way, and to stand or fall by it, Just as
Mckinley did by the Mckinley bill.
The parallel between the attitudes Of
Mckinley and Shaw is interesting,
Mckinley, following the passage Of
the Mckinley tariff law was defeated
in his Congressional district. The
country went overwhelmingly Demo-
cratic, electing a House with about
ninety Democratic majority, with the
Mckinley bill as the issue.

FORTUNE OF THE FOOLISH
How Harry's silly Idea Brought Hap.
piness to His Friends.
BY Pauline Forsyth.


~(Copyright, 1905. by the Newspaper
Enterprise Association.)
In the early days of Mississippi it
was. as most of the states have been
in their turn. built up of those from
the older settlements, who were
broken down in fortune. Among the
pioneers was Allan Frazier, OF Nir-
ginia, who had sought this fertile
soil tc recover, if possible. the wealth
he had lost, or. at the worst. to win a
comfortable living for his family. one
motive for his voluntary exile was a
desire to hide from the companions of
his prosperous days the %privations to
which ne and his family were obliged
to submit.
He and his wife bought a small
plantation in Mississippi and after the
first few years they prospered. OF
the four children all but Ada died in
infancy.
Ada Frazier was unique both in
person and character. Her beauty
was that of an eastern princess rather
than a fragile American. One of her
admirers, Walter Sherburne. was the
only one whom her demeanor did not
discourage. When she returned from
GNlOOlf III ElAlttlr wafer Olt DuILt
had followed her, and, u%ndeterred, by
her refusal to listen to his suit, he had
never ceased to pay her homage.
In order to be constantly, near the
object of his affection the ardent
lover had purchased the plantation
adjoining the Fraziers', and for three
years lived upon il. The last twelve
months OF this time had served to
dfGanrwarre q, m Vr,naurtp. CI,v1.,rr-F.
belief that he would finally win the
young lady.
One day he told her that he had
decided to go to Europe. when he
rose to go Ada expressed little re-
greet at his coming journey, and babe
him gOod-by without even a friend
1y handclasp. In truth she did not
believe that her lover was really
going abroad.
The days passed and he did not
appear at the FLrazier home. One day
at the dinner table her father re-
marked.
"Sherburne is really gonig to Eu-
rope, at last. He wishes to get rid Of
his plantation, before he goes, and has
offered it to me at half its value. He
will leave in two days.
Ada's heart beat unanimously with
in her breast, but she gave no sign
of her feelings. She could not sleep
that night and when the next day
passed without bringing him for a
last farewell, Ada feared that It was
almost more than she could bear.
The day before his departure Sher-
burne was looking over some possess
ions that he wished to keep from the
contents Of the house. He came upon
a pair of dueling pistols, and was ad.
miring their exquisite finish, when
Harry Bertrand, a young student at
home for vacation, and a nephew OF
Mr.. Frazier, burst into the room.
"Oh, Sherburne," he exclaimed

A Warnlnu to Mothers.

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather of
the summer months to guard against
bowel troubles. As a rule, it is only nee
essary to give the child a dose of cas-
tor oil to correct any disorders of In
bowels. DO not use any substitute, but
give the old-fashioned castor oil, and
see that It is fresh, as rancid oil nau-
seates and has a tendency to grippe. If
this does not check the bowels, give
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoe remedy, and then a dose of castor
oil, and the disease may be checked in
its incipiency and all danger avoided. The
castor oil and this remedy should be
procured at once and kept ready for in
slant use. as soon as the first indica-
ton of any bowel trouble appears. This
is the most successful treatment known,
confidence, even in cases of cholera in
tantum. For sale by all dealers.

The Only Way.

There is no way to maintain the
health and strength or mind and body
except by no%qrishment. There is no
way to nourish except through the
stomach. The stomach must be kept
healthy, pure and sweet or the
strength will let down and disease
will set up. No appetite, loss of
strength, nervousness, headache, con
stipation, bad breath, sour risings,
rifting, indigestion, dyspepsia and all
stomach troubles that are durable are
quickly cured by the use of Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure. Kodol digests what
you eat and strengthens the whole
digestive apparatus.

'Those are just what | want. Old

and you know how he hates dueling.
Let us give him a scare. When Mr..
Lee passes that magnolia / will fire
and you must fall as if shot. You are

fainting.'
Walter S%herburne obeyed his order.
and when Mr.. Lee reached the gates
of Magnolia Lodge, he saw his favor
its borne apparently lifeless into the
house, and scapegrace Harry riding
away as if fleeing for life, while cries
of Hes killed, He's killed." were
uttered by the group assembled on
the piazza.
Idiots" exclaimed the old man.
"Why don't some of you go for the
doctor? Is he dead?
Not quite" was the reply. And
away went Mr.. Lee as fast as his
horse could carry him. On his way
for a physician he stopped for a few
moments at Mr.. Fraziers' thinking
Harry might have taken refuge there.
Leaning over the railing of an op-
per balcony Ada heard the old gentle
man giving her father an account of
the sad scene that had just occurred,
with its result.
Ada's heart, rent with anguish, now
became a prey to the widest fears.
Gould she in any way have been the
cause of that terrible act, and was
she never 10 see that form again? She
could not endure the suspense. Her
mother was absent from home, and
there was no one else to whom she
could turn. She resolved to go herself
and learn what she wished to know.
In the meantime, Walter Sherburne,
tiped of the mepty gayety around
him, left his companions in a state of
high glee at Harry Bertrand's success
ful trick, and turned his steps toward
the path that led to the Fraziers'. He
was to leave the next morning, and
once more he wished to look upon the
roof that sheltered the one who was
dearer to him than life.
Turning a sudden bend in the road,
Ada and Walter stood face 10 face.
There was a cOnvulsive start and a
wild look of wonder in her dliated
eyes. Enchanting, "Oh, Walter, l
thought you were killed." she tottered
and would have fallen 10 the ground
If II had not been for his support. He
held her for a moment and then seat
ed her and himself upon the ground
and thus they remained for a long
time. Ada, weak and exhausted by
the storm Of grief that had swept over
her, was now lulled by a feeling of
perfect rest and tranquility. Her lover
was hardly able TO realize that the
boon he had so long striyen for was
at last become his. For a long time
neither spoke, but before they parted
Walter had given up his determine
ton 70 visit Europe.
