Untold Suffering and Constant

Dreadful Complaint, lnfanti|e E.

MOTHER PRAISES
CUTlCURA REMEDIES

"Our baby had that dreadful com.
plant, Infantile Eczema, which afflicted
him for several months, commencing at
the top of his head, and at last covering
his whole body. His sufferings were
untold and constant misery, in fact,
there was nothing we would not have
done to have given him relief. The
family doctor seemed to be wholly
incapable of coping with the case, and
after various experiments of his, which
resulted in no benefit to the child, we
sent to Mazon;' ILL.,, to q druggist and got
. full set of the Cuticura Remedies and
applied as per directions, and he began
to improve Immediately, and in about
three or four days began to show .
brighter spirit and really laughed. for
the first time in a year. In about ninety
days he was fully recovered, with the
exception of q rough skin, which IL
gradually disappearing, and eventually
will be replaced by q healthy one.
praise for the Cuticura Remedies
has always been our greatest pleasure.
and there is nothing too good that We
could say in their favor, for they Ger.
tainly saved our baby's life, for he was
the most awful sight that l ever beheld,

Attitude of the
Trusts Toward
The Philippines

- HE legislation proposed for the relief of the Philippines is
an act postponing the application of the coastwise trading
laws to the trade between the Philippine Islands and the
United States until 1909, the reduction Of the tariff on
sugar and tobacco from IS per cent to 25 per cent of the
til 1909, when there shall be COMPLETE FREE TRADE in the
products of either.
The two interests in this country that are arraved in opposition to
free trade with the Philippine Islands are the sugar interest and the
tobacco interest.
In order that there should not be any danger whatever they have to
build hypothesis upon hypothesis and to expand a business in the trop-
les with the same degree of arithmehcal fervor that Colonel Sellers
painted the profits of his eye wash to be purchased so eagerly by 400c
1000 of people in China. The attitude of these men, who really
know the facts, cannot be described as other than THE QUINTES-
SENCE OF SELF1SHNESS in opposing the gradual betterment of
the production Of sugar and tobacco in the Philippines by opening the
American market, when their fear of injury is founded on presump-
tons most improbable.
a Filipino may we'll question the good faith of our declarations
that we RI there for their good when we decline to open our ports to
their products and refuse to give them the benefit Of the markets Of
this great country for the things which they have to sell. In all the
legislation for which congress is responsible affecting the Philippine
Islands there are but two acts which can be criticised AS HAVING
A SELFISH MOTIVE. One is what we might call the coastwise
act, the effect Of which is to require that after July I, 1906, all freight
from the Philippine Islands to the United States and the reverse shall
be carried in AMERICAN bottoms. And the other is the law by
which there is imposed on products of the Philippine Islands coming
into the United States Is per cent of the Dingley rates.
The Philippines only export los, 600, 900 cigars to all countries,
whereas America alone manufactures 1000 100000 cigars.
THE SUGGESTION THAT THE EXPORT FROM THE Philippines
COULD SERIOUSLY AFFECT THE AMERICAN MARKET Is ABSURD.

The American Nation
, Is True to Its Ideals

BY Mrs. DONALD MIEAN. President Il he Daughters o. IN American
T seems to me that it is a complete mistake to consider the de-
velopments in dishonesty and graft to be an indication that the
nation is becoming corrupted AS A WHOLE. On the con-
trary, it would appear to me that the fact that recent scandals
have come to light and that there is SO general and deep an expression
of amazement and Pronunciation shows conclusivey that THE Ma
TION AT LARGE IS HONEST and is true to the ideals on which
it was founded.
Instead Of thinking the country is retrograding in honesty, l think
it is advancing. To women, and perhaps particularly to the Daughters
Of the American Revolution, should be given much of the credit for
the general existence Of honest standards. A generation ago such a
condition Of affairs as was disclosed by the insurance investigation
WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN UNEARTHED AT ALI, or, if
it had been, people would not have condemned ii, but would have
wanted to got some Of the plumber themselves.
TO-DAY THE SCANDALS NOT ONLY ARE EXPOSED, BUT
FiERcELv pgcREp. WHv7 BECAUSE THE AMERICAN NATION
At HEART 10 STILL THE NATION OF THE REvoLUTloNA Ma.

The Negroes Effect
On the Labor Market

by r z. WRIGHT. Prehdent of ~ National .sochtton Of cohred
Agricultural n Mechanical Schools
HE charge is made with some show of proof that the negro
laborer lowers wages as he enters the labor market; that he
UNDERTAKES THE WHITE L"ABORER and therefore
is a disturber, an enemy to decent wages. If this is true, can it not be
seen that in proportion as negro labor is properly fitted for the best
grade Of work, in that proportion will the Negroes standard of living be
raised and his demand for better wages be emphasized and he become

Ge Churches Should Cooperate

BY Rev. j. ". HECEr1AN. Fhd Secretary Of the Federation Of Churches
I is plain why the churches can no longer succeed without fed
Grafton. Instead Of remaining ignorant Of the facts and ignor-
ing other factors, each church must comprehend all the facts
and COOPERATE WITH ALL OTHER FACTORS.
The coincidence of these two obligations determines the form Of the
cooperation. Each church must cooperate with other religious fac
tors to ASCERTAIN all the facts. The foundation Of all successful
federation is the cooperative parish plan. Several methods have been
found successful. In a village Of 1000 inhabitants the pastor of tn
one church had a house to house canvass made, its results recorded in y
card directory, the territory divided into eighteen districts, with a Sec
rotary over each whose duty it was to report changes, and was thus
able to leave to his successor a photograph of religious conditions
brought up to date.

PRoCToR's TRIAL BEGUN.
Accused of Not Turning in Political
Contribution

The larceny trial of Robert G. Proctor,
private secretary TO Senator H. c. Lodge
was begun yesterday at Boston The spe-
cific charge against Proctor is that of fall
tnS to turn over to the republican state
committee $22o which John G. Bestgen OF
Quincy claims he gave Proctor for the party
campaign fund with the understanding tina t
Bestgen should receive Proctors influence
for consulship to Germany
Nearly all the members of the state COM
mittee of 1904 have been summoned to les
tify, among them being James b. Reynolds,
a. present assistant secretary of the treas
ury.
Bestgen testified that he had previously
made contribution to the republican stale
committee in 1903, giving the money 10
James b. Reynolds, then secretary of the
organization. He said, when questioned,
that he knew Mr.. Proctor was not a mem
Der of the state committee and was willing
to make 1t personal matter with Senator
Lodges secretary, with whom he had many
conversations about a consular appoint
ment. Col. Thomas Talbot, chairman OF
the republican state committee, the second
witness, did not remember whether he had
received contribution of s225 from Mr.
Bestgen.
Mr.. Dennison read a letter written by Mr.
Proctor to Col. Talbot In 1904 in which AR.
Proctor spoke of Mr.. Bestgen's complaint
about the $225, saying:
L did receive some money from Bestgen
did not know whether it was 500 or more.
Whatever the amount 1t was turned over
either to Col. Talbot or James B. Rey-
noids'
Neither Mr.. Reynolds nor Joseph N Pc
terson, who was treasurer of the committee
in 1904, could remember receiving any
money from Mr.. Proctor.

NECK-DEEP IN SAND.
Intellectual Attempts to Rescue Vic
tim of Cave-In,


jeremiah Fisher, a plumbers assistant,
near Tompkinsville, Staten Island, yester-
day was buried to his neck in sand and
soapstone, which held him like wise for
more than SIX hours. Late last night, when
some progress was being made toward his
rescue, he was unconscious and physicians
who had been waiting hours at the spot,
said he could live but little longer
A shaft had been sunk by workmen be-
tween street car tracks on the Richmond
turnpike to a depth of about twenty feet
to make connection Fisher was at work
a. the bottom of the shaft making the
connection, when a passing trolley car
caused mixture of sand, soapstone and
clay to fall back into the excavation.
Fisher shouted for help and tried to
climb out, but was caught by the earth
material, which rose until only his head
was visible
After workmen had tried In vain to
rescue him with ropes and planks, firemen
descended into the shaft, but every would
DC rescurer sank so deeply into the shifting
sand as to endanger his own life
Finally rope was fixed about the suffer-
ing mans chest, but he could not be pulled
even an inch upward. The firemen then
sunk sheathing of planks about him. but
this allowed little room for work with
ShoYels.
Meantime, doctors. nurses and an am
buiance had been waiting for hours to rem
der aid: Refreshments and stimulants were
lowered to the man, but after a time he lost
consciousness. A great crowd watched the
work OF rescue, which proceeded by lantern
light.
