HANG UP THE MUCK RAKE.

Presumably on account of the orig
unfortunate tendency of human nature
TO dwell long upon the evil doings of
IL fellow men and to pass owe lightly
his excellent words and deeds. Let a
minister of the gospel transgress the
code and his sins are published and
exaggerated by conversation and by
the press, while of the great numbers
of faithful and devoted preachers who
toll tediously along in the narrow path
Of duty nothing is said. So the down
fall of the hundredth woman who for,
gets her honor overshadows the stain
less lives of the ninety and nine faith
full wives and mothers. Shall, then,
the shortcomings or even crimes of
the few members of the senate of the
United States who have been found
wanting sully forever the regulations
and achievements of the great number
Of talented and honest men who have
served the United States efficiently
and unselfishly through many strenu-
GUS years of war Oh peace? Men, to
be absolutely blameless, must be either
asleep or dead. Life, action, achieve
mentm must of necessity mean errors of
thought and deed until the time of the
millennium, when faulty human ma
ture is made perfect.
A critic has been described as "one
who could not do it himself" The
critical habit, like other vices, is easily
formed and grows upon one. They
who de least, Know best the shortcom
ings of their fellows. Voices of de
spair are heard crying that all is rot
ten" says the Rev. Henry Van Dyke
The age has become too critical, to6
suspicious, too c~ensorious. The use OF
the muck rake may be necessary in
certain stables. but it should be dis
countenanced in the parlor and in the
schol room. 1t is well to be count
ed not with the destroyers, but with
the fulhllers. Only the very aged pirate
Of the good old times for youth and
Vigor knows of a certainty that men
row better and wiser with zach pas
sing year. Protest against the muck
rake frenzy and eXtol the ability and
virtue which really rules the world, so
cial, political and financial.

Few Women Faint,

1t is a curious fact, of general re-
mark, and observed not by physicians
only, that fainting is less common
than 1t used to be. 1t Is rare that one
sees a woman carried out of a church
or theater, yet forty years ago 1t was
a matter of such common occurrence
as barely 10 excite remark. This is
due in very great measure to the out,
door life young women lead in these
days of tennis and golf and other
sports, The heart and the circulation
are strengthened by exercise in the
open air and it takes a great shock
to disorder the blood balance in the
body of the modern woman.

Scared by the Sentence.

When the late Judge Newton of
S%outhboro presided over the court In
Westboro. he had before him one day
a poor and il%literate Frenchman &C.
cused of selling liquor. AS it was
his first o~ffense. he was fined $50.
Evidently $50 was Il fortune to the
Frenchman, and 1t vas also evident
that he had a vague conception Of
the seriousness of his crime, for, tunc,
ing q startled look on the judge. he
exclaimed in wild tones: For Gods
sake, judge, why didn't yer hung me?'

Rest

Nothing will cure INDIGESTION that
doesn't digest the food, itself and i've
the stomach a perfect rest.
You can't reasonably expect that
any weak stomach will regain Its
strength and get well when 1t IS
compelled to do the full work that q
sound stomach should do.
You wouldn't expect a sick horse
to get well when it is compelled to do
full days work every day of the week.
Your stomach must have rest.
But it isn't necessary to stdrUe your.
self in order to rest your stomach.
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is a perfect

Entitled To a second Term

Entitled To a Second Term
Here comes another candidate for
governor on the republican ticket, in
the person of j. E, Cosgriff of Rawlins.
There is no doubt of Mr.. Cosgriff's fit
ness for the place. He is known as one
of the most active and honorable bust
ness men in the state. While We do
not wish to say anything to discourage
the candidacy of any good man, we do
think that Governor Brooks, in reward
for faithful service, is entitled to a full
term. At the expiration of that term
the present incumbent will not be en-
titled to consideration on the grounds
spoken of, and then 1t will be oppor-
tune for Mr.. Cosgriff or any other good
citizen to made a demand on the party.
He will, If the report of his candidacy
be true, go into the state convention
with considerable following from his
section Of the state, and should be sue
coed in getting the nomination will UNI
doubtedly be elected. AT the present
time it does not look as If any one had
more than a slim fighting chance

The railroads Of Minnesota will con-
tribute 100000 to the revenues of
the state in the shape of taxes this
year. 1t may exceed that amount. With
reports Of several railroads missing,
among them the Great Western, State
Auditor Iverson figured that the
amount now to the credit of the state
from the railroads was $2.S15,00O. The
others. when filed. will swell the
amount to the sS,000,00O figure. Las,
year the total amount received from
the railroads of the state in taxes
was s1.s7l.ls4.43. This years figures
are the greatest in the history Of the
state. The new per cent gross earn
ings law is in measure responsible
for the big increase, but the main sup
ply comes from the heavy swelling of
; the receipts Of the several roads. All
the big roads noted additions in the
shape of millions to their receipts,
while in the case of the smaller roads
some of them doubled the amount
earned in 1904. While the Great
Northern tax is in dispute and the
fight may extend to the Great Western,
| which claims to be operating under 4
special charter, State Auditor lverson
is figuring everything on Il 4 per cent
basis.
