Calumny on Central"

1t has often been remarked that Chicago
men lack the gentle chivalry toward women
which prompts a Washington man to re-
move his cigar while passing a lady on
the street, to stand when lady enters or
leaves a street car, to bare the head and
preserve submissive silence when a lady
gets in an elevator. and to offer to carry
the baby. market basket or bundle of every
strange woman he meets. Poetic devotion
to woman is not the overmastering impulse
with Chicago. as it is with Washington men
One OF the latest bits of rudeness charged
against Chicago men is that they have sus-
pected Central of giving the busy sig
nal when the wire was not busy.
These unmannerly men have not only
charged Central with fbbing, but have
carried their atrocious conduct to- such ar
extreme as to prove her guilty.
In discussing the Busy Signal the Chi
cago Tribune says:
Either telephone operators are over
worked and resort to the busy signal
because they have not time to attend tc

The Next Generation.

The most intelligent and effective advo-
Cacy of laws for the protection and restraint
OF juveniles is inspired by the knowledge
tomorrow, and the girls of today are the
mothers of the future In other words, the
children are the ones who will form the
society of few years hence. According az
their characters are chapel in their tender
years and their habits are formed. they will
be good bad men and women. They will
make for the upbuilding the demoraliza-
tiop of the social structure exactly as they
are trained and environed between the ages
OF ten and twenty. Those ten years are the
critical period in a childs life and the
greatest care is necessary in all the ar
engagements of the community to throw
around the CHI ldren throughout that time
all possible protection from vicious ways
and supply inspiration for right living.
\ tendency unfortunately exists in some
quarters to shirk this responsibility, on the
false ground that the percentage of danger
is sinai, that some boys and some girls are
bound to be bad whatever may be the cir
Gums tances of their lives or the character of
the laws and regulations framed for their
protecticl and restraint. That is danger
Gus doctrine. IL places the responsibility
sQuarely upon the child, who is not capable
of bearing 1t. The state is organized largely
to assume this responsibility. 1t may. be
true that some boys and girls will drift into
evil ways despite the best care that may be

bestowed upon them. They are the ones at
whom every intelligent system of preventive
and protective law should aim.
1t Is a melancholy reflection that this
country, in the years of its wonderful pros
perity, has seriou-" neglected some phases
of it's social condition, and in no other line
is this neglect more apparent than in that
of child restraint and protection. We are
only now coming to the point of enacting
and enforcing child labor laws. We are just
coming around to compulsory education OF
an intelligent nature. We are tardily awak-
ening to the fact that the children have
been exposed to vicious, demoralizing infiu-
ences in places of public amusement and in
evil resorts. Our unscienti1c, crude, blum
dering Industrial processes Of the past have
ov >rdeveloped and have brought train of
serious ills which strike directly at the boys
and the girls
1t is not to the point to refer to the mil.
lions OF children who attend Sunday schools
and are being trained in an atmosphere of
morality and wholesomeness, or to the mil
lions. who, whether they attend Sunday
schools or net, are being reared in moral
homes, by parents who &eeply realize their
responsibilities. Those who must be borne
in mind are the others-perhaps millions OF
them-Who are 1Orced INTO WdSe-eafhtHs d.
tender years, who are neglected by indiner-
ent immoral Incorporate or possibly mere
ly ignorant parents, who roam the streets,
who associate with vicious adults, who ac-
quire too soon complete acquaintance with
the life of the under world, who are tempted
far beyond the strength of their few years
into ways Of viciousness. These are the
children whose needs are cried aloud today
by those who advocate the enactment OF
sumptuary laws for the protection and re-
straint of the young. If this cry Is not
needed these children will grow up into men
and women whose lives will be reproach
to our civilization,

What MI. Root Said.

Maybe the man who "seceded' from the
dinner of the South Carolina Society in
New York Saturday night at the PROPOSE
ton to drink to the health of the Presi-
dent of the United States was native of
that state The point is not important, for
nobody followed him out of the union of
festivity and everything went along hap
PLY and smoothly without him. Altogether
1t was a pleasant occasion, and the speeches
made are worth reading.
But just now it is proper to say that
nothing will be gained by misinterpreting
or exaggerating what Mr. Root said in the
same city two nights before on the subject
of state and national control. He said
some striking things, and as usual touched
the raw in treating of public abuses he
is lawyer of the first class, and ma
tional official of large experience. Whether
one is prepared or not to accept him at
the Presidents appraisement-as being the
best qualified man for office in public life
today-it is in no well-informed mans
power to deny that the Secretary of State
is a commanding force in our affairs in
the way of action as of suggestion, and
his delverances amply repay the attention
given them.
Mr. Root in the speech now under such
nor unduly magnify the nation. He re-
ferred with profound respect to both. II
he chided the states for neglecting to ex-
ercse their powers in their own as well
as in the national behalf he was entirely
within the record. Everybody knows that
such is the fact, aud that what Is charac-
terized as the alarming centraiizing ten
dency of these days may be traced directly
to it. Our affairs have grown in every
way in variety as in bulk. and may not
with safety be neglected. The nation has
forced nothing upon anybody. Whatever
of a disturbing nature to state rights has
been done by Congress has been in re-
Spouse to appeals of people, who either had
not sought or seeking had not secured, of
the state authority what they desired. And
such appeals have come from north. south,
east and west. So that if of late years we
have been centralizing in the exercise OF
legislative power all sections are re-
sponsble.
The more the subject is considered the
more advisable the calling of constitu-
tional convention appears. No great
changes should be or would be recon-
mended in-the national charter, but some
are needed, and would dc good. 49,

A Confession.

pray for wisdom and 1 crave
The sweet content which goodness gives;
Yet rather would l be slave
Who. fiercely pressed midst striving lives
Than he whom knowledge sets apart
From human fellowship to dwell
With plodding brain and shriveling heart
A prisoner in a bloodhound CELL
And better the repentant tear
That seeks to right some thoughtless
wrong
Than cold perfection, grown austere
And distant from the struggling throng
shall not ask by hasty fight
To .shun all error and distress
And dwell upon the mountain hight
And view the stars in loneliness.

Non-sulphurous Glucose.

A great many things that are impossible
to do may be easily done when one must do
them There may be a paradox in this
statement, but to prove its accuracy is not
difficult. Great corporations which a few
months ago found the doing of certain
things impossible are now doing those same
things with ability and grace. good ex-
ample Of this is in the conduct Of a mighty
company, the business Of which is to make
glucose. - Suit was brought in Pennsyi-
vania against this concern on the charge
that 1t violated the pure food law by put
ting sulphur in the sirup.
The defense of the company was two
fold. In the first place sulphur was good.
There was less of it in glucose than the
amount prescribed as harmless by the food
laws Of Great Britain and Germany. There
was less sulphur in glucose than in mo-
lasses. dried fruits or imported wines. 1t
was cited that the highest authorities
had declared that sulphur was 'in no sense
deleterious to health
The second and most insistent part OF
the defense was that glucose was neces-
sarily sulphurous. The stuff could not be
| made without sulphur, ETC., etc.
In a recent interview E. T. Bedford.
president of the Corn Products Company
said:
1.-THE food law prevailing in Pennsyiva-
mia, v hlch law absolutely forbids the use
OF sulphur in any quantity, whether harm
less or the reverse, has led the Corn Prod
ucts Refining Company to an investigation
and to an expense that amounted to more
than half million. However. the result is
that they are now able to produce an abso-
lutely white glucose, even better in color
| than that previously produced by the use
| Of sulphur. so good in sense has come
out of evil. for the glucose now made Is moi
| only absolutely pure and free from sui
phur, but is of higher degree Of quality
than any glucose ever heretofore made
| from corn. OF course It adds to the cost >
Thus, what was impossible has now be-
| come pleasure.

BAILEY.
From. the Indianapolis New.

From the indianapolis News.
Poor Mr.. Bailey! He showed such lack
of ordinary sagacty in selecting his
banker! Whether Texas returns him to the
Senate or not. his hold on the public conf
dence Is gone. No statesman can play with
Standard and not be defled
From the Buffalo Commercial.
II Senator Bailey is defeated as a candi-
date for reelection from Texas, 1t will re-
fleet discredit upon the state and will de-
prive the Senate Of one Of its ablest men.
From the Chicago Journal.
Senator Bailey admits getting loan of
$1,000 from H. Clay Pierce, and Is properly
indignant at the charge that he got money
from the Waters-Pier Oil Company. In
truth, Texas ought to be proud to own
bitter enemy of the trusts who can humble
an oil magnate to borrowing money of him.
From the Toledo Press.
Senator Bailey's explanation that he bor-
rowed money from an oil company related
to the Standard instead of receiving 1t as
q gratuity helps some but not much. In a
case of this kind the borrowing relation is
close enough to be suspicious.

DIPLOMATIC DINGD0NG.

Now Bellamy and Theodore
Shake of the usual letters
That bind the diplomatic pens
And 60 to writing letters.
They swat each other good and hard,
Like pugilistic batters,
And blaze the diplomatic trail
With rather personal matters.

Indeed, she did begin it.
Since Eden has there been a scrap
Without q woman in itf
But Bellamy and Theodore

And as they cannot use their nsts
They take 1t out in writing.
Good reading. too they make OF II,
The President and Storer;
And while the latter merely squeals,
Hark 10 the Roosevelt roarer!
Oh, Bellamy, why did you choose
A course so darned cratic?
You've proved to all, if need there were,
That you're not diplomatic.
You've got him going, Bethany,
And he will not diminish
His speed. therefore you might as well
Prepare to meet your finish.

mo CURE, NO PAY"
How l.. Taggart Sells Hyomei the
Guaranteed Cure For Catarrh.

~asO VI SdtdHEhs
i. Taggart has an unusual offer to max q
to our readers, one that will be of the
greatest value to many.
For some years l.. Taggart has been
watching the results from the use OF
Hyomei, treatment for catarrh that
cures by breathing medicated air absolute
ly without any stomach dosing. The re-
suits have been so universally successful
that he feels justified in making a public
offer to treat the worst case of catarrh in
Emporium with the understanding that
if Hyomei does not cure, the treat
ment will cost absolutely nothing.
People who have spent large sums with
catarrh specialists, deriving but little
benefit, or the many who have swallowed
stomach remedies in the vain hope of
curing catarrh, have experienced almost
immediate relief from the use of Hyomei.
while the continued treatment for short
time, has resulted in complete and
lasting cure.
The regular Hyomci outfit costs only
one dollar, and consists OF Il neat pocket
inhaler that can be carried in the purse
or vest-pocket, medicine dropper, and
bottle of Hyomei. If this is not enough
for cure, extra bottles of Hyomei can
be obtained for 80 cents.
l.. Taggart positively guarantee cure
if Hyomei is used in accordance with di-
rections, or be will refund the money.
