COMPELLED TO NEGLECT DUTY

1t is not infrequently the case
that absence of United States SEN
ators from their post of duty is
noted in the dispatches, and of
times this is due to the fact that
they are compelled to leave the
senate chamber to repel attacks
made at home by others seeking
this place of distinction. Oftimes
is it the case that a campaign of
two, three or four years is waged
against senator, who, naturally
desiring to hold his office, is COM
PEELED in greater or less degree to
fight off such opposition even to
the extent of neglect of public
duty.
There are ninety members of
this honorable body; two from
each of the forty-fve states. 1t
is a proposition that cannot be
subjected to much hazard to say
that every senator spent many
years, patiently and strenuOusly,
as circumstances required, in the
expectation of attaining that
browning distinction, and that
was a noble endeavor. But as be-
tween anxiety and persistence to
gain seat in that body, and zeal
and willingness to occupy it in
reality when the right has been
acquired there is wide difference.
When the rate measure came up
for final vote there were seventy
four senators present, and this
number was reported as an unus-
ually large one. Less than five
sixths of those who wear the SEN
atorial toga were present to record
their vote on a measure that the
whole country was interested in,
and yet no considerable attention
is given the delinquency. 1t would
seem to be matter of privilege to
absent oneself from the solemn
duties imposed by the constitution
and expected by the people, and
senatorial privilege is more jeal
ously regarded than even the con-
stitution itself.
This is a legitimate subject Of
criticism. Attention to duty in a
public servant is the prime condi-
ton Of fidelity. Avoidance o.
that, under almost any pretext is
the best argument of unftness. L
evinces a disposition of dissatis
faction or restlessness with the
scene where a sworn duty has
been assumed, and the pairing of
process can only be regarded as {
subterfuge to cover up de
llinQuency.

A PLEA FOR GOOD ROADS.

udS
been 1--.4vuuced into the national
legislature for the betterment of
the good roads of the country is
that recently presented by Will
liam r. Hearst, of New York.
The bill provides for a fifty per
cent, governmental aid to all coun
ties that will fulfill certain re-
quirements and conditions that
are most reasonable.
The proposition of Mr.. Hearst,
if it becomes a law, will enable
almost any county in the country
to secure good thoroughfares at a
cost that will make the improve
ments not only obtainable but
desirable.
The good road is the friend of
every man. 1t helps business as
well as pleasure, and no line of
trade or branch of commerce is
overlooked in its benign influence.
1t makes friends of people who,
if they had to travel over rocky
and rough roads, would possibly
never meet, and establishes cordial
relations among folks who would
of necessity be distant to each
other but for good road.

Last Summer I had severe attack of Infamma-
tory Rheumatism in the knees, from which was
unable to leave my room for several months. I
was treated by two doctors and also tried differ
ent kinds of iniments and medicines which
seemed to relieve me from pain for awhile but at
the same time was not any nearer getting well.
One day while reading paper 1 saw an adver-
tisement of S. S. S. for Rheumatism. I decided
to give it a trial, which did at once. After had
taken three bottles felt great deal better, and
I continued to take it regularly until en-
tirely cured. I feel better than l have for
years. CHAS. E. GILDERSLEEVE.

winter disease exclusively Through the long
months of Summer its wandering pains and twitch-
nerves are felt by those in whose blood the uric
acid, which produces the disease, has accumulated
Rheumatism is a disease that involves the en-
tire system. It's primary cause results from the
failure of the eliminative organs, the Liver, Kid
neys and Bowels, to carry out of the system the
urea, or natural refuse matter This coming in
contact with the different acids of the body forms
uric acid which is taken up and absorbed by the
blood This acid causes fermentation of the blood
making it sour and unfit for properly nourishing
the body, and this vital stream goes to every
nook and corner of the body, the poison is dstrib-
uted to all parts. The nervous system weakens
from lack of rich pure blood, the skin becomes fe
verish and swollen the stomach and digestion are
affected, the appetite fails and general diseased
condition of the entire system is the result.
Not only is Rheumatism the most painful of
all diseases, with its swollen, stiff joints throbbing
muscles and singing nerves, but it is formidable
and DANGEROUS trouble IF the uric acid is allowed

RECOMMENDATION OF MERCY.
Action by Jury in Case Of Orlando
r. King.

Orlando r. King, colored, formerly en-
ployed as messenger in the health de-
partment of the District government, was
today convicted of the larceny of six car
tickets, belonging to the District by a
jury in Criminal Court No. 2, Justice Bar
nard presiding. The verdict was qualified
by recommendation of mercy.
The testimony showed that on September
IL last Detective Warren was concealed in
the health office watching a safe, when he
saw the defendant take a slip of car tick
cts from the safe. The tickets had been
previously marked, and when the defend
ant was searched, Detective Warren testi-
fed, he found the marked tickets on him.
The defendant on the witness stand de-
MED taking any tickets from the safe, and
explained his possession of the tickets by
saying he had purchased them on his way
to the office. A number of witnesses tes-
titled to the good character of King and to
the fact that he had been a trusted messen-
ger in the office for twenty years.
Pending the hearing of motion for a
new trial King was released on $500 bail.
Assistant United States Attorney Perry
conducted the prosecution and Attorneys

The Persian Custom of "Bast."
From the Independent.

From the Independent
In Persia there is the strange custom
known as 'bast." It simply means that
any one having a grievance, by taking
refuge on the premises of a nobleman, may
demand that the nobleman take up his
cause as though the bastee We're one of his
own household. There seems to be no limit
to the custom, for the petty criminal often
takes refuge, or bast, in mosque, where
he is safe, if his friends are allowed to feed
him. If the police want him they must
starve him out. There was man who sat
for eight years in one of the legations here
patiently awaiting a settlement of a small
claim that he had against the Persian gov
eminent. Ministers came and went but he
stayed on. At last his claim was paid, and
he died celebrating his victory Few lega-
tons here would have the courage to put a
man out as it would bring down no small
amount of opprobrium upon them.
The other day every shop in the great
bazaar in Teheran closed, and between five
and six thousand men, merchants, artisans
and some priests, went into the English
legation and informed the acting minister
that they were there to remain until the
Enguish government took up their case
with the Persian government. Fortunately
the grounds are large, but at best, great
damage must be done to the beautiful
gardens by the five thousand and more men
camping on them A short time ago these
people would have gone to the Russian
legation, but today it is passed by and for
gotten, while the streets surrounding the
British legation filled with crowds
who do not hesitate to say that England
can have the country If she wants it. The
whole city seems to be on a strike. Only
the mails butcher and baker have not been
interfered with. Half a ton of bread daily
is required to feed those within the legation
compound. All day long the Koran is read
and Allah is appealed to for help.
