A Rising People.

An English vicar raises his voice and
declares that unless the automobile
learns to act i'll more ladylike man
ner in the near future there will be a
great uprising of the people.
We had feared as much, and as there
is no prospect that the buzz wagon will
mend its ways the people should be-
gin at once to look for soft place to
light, for we may say that the uprising
has already begun.
Under the impulse of this great mon
ster frequently the oldest men in the
community join the rising generation
for at least aNfew minutes, though they
may repent it later on in the hospital.
For raising families it has also been
found TO be unequaled in the quickness
of its work, although the quality is
somewhat subject to criticism. True
ly it may be said that in the history
Of the race there has never showed up
a booster quite like it.

LAST week THE BEE had an ed
-itorial upon lawlessness COM
mitted by persons allied with the
tobacco movement in the Dark
Tobacco district. And there
have been some criticisms of
that editorial. We invite a
careful reading of that article
and say now that we have moth
ing to retract or apologize for in
that connection. Any man who
objects to a condemnation OF
lawlessness, by whomsoever COM
mitted, by so much commits him
self as endorsing lawlessness.
The BEE believes there is not a
more honorable and law abiding
class of men anywhere than our
farmers, But, even among farm
ers, as among professional or
business men or politicians, there
is an occasional outlaw. And
the influence of this occasional
outlaw may influence and perme-
ate the actions of others. When
such an one lets so his inner de-
sires to have his way, spite OF
law or reason, is everybody
to be silent because he happens
to be a farmer or merchant or
lawyer or politician? The
writer does not think so much of
some politicians or even some
lawyers but he would, if he
could, be a farmer. If he had
ever been a candidate for public
honors this might create smile,
But not so. All the writer's fore
fathers have been farmers and
we look upon the vocation of the
4 farmer as the life that yields the
most profound feeling of free
dom and Independence. The
! farmer has our most sincere
\respect.

Complete Treatment for Every

The agonizing itching and burning
of the skin, as in eczema the frightful

hair and crusting of the scalp, as in
SCALED head the facial Disagreement,
as in pimples and ringworm; the
awful suffering of infants and the
anxiety of worn-out parents, as In
milk crust, letter, and salt rheum, all
demand remedy of almost super
human virtues to successfully cope
with them. That Cuticura Soap, Oint-
ment, and Pills are such stands proven
beyond all doubt. No statement IL
made regarding them that is not jisti-
fed by the strongest evidence. The
purity and sweetness, the power to
afford immediate relief. the certainty
of speedy and permanent cure, the abb
solute safety and great economy, have
made them the standard skin cures
and humour remedies of the civilized
world.
The grandest testimonial that can
be offered the Cuticura remedies 10
their worldwide sale, due to the per-
sona1 recommendations of those who
have used them. From small begin
ming in the simplest form, against
prejudice and opposition, against
monied hosts, countless rivals, and
trade indifference, Cuticura remedies
have become the greatest curativcs of
their time, and, in fact, of all time,
for nowhere in the history of medicine
is to be found another approaching
them in popularity and sale. In every
cline and with every people they have
met with the same reception. The
confines of the earth are the only
limits to their growth. They have
conquered the world.

THE CHINESE BOYCOTT.

The Chinese are in the majority at Singapore, and the American boycott is worked there for all it is worth. When a business man wishes to injure his ri val he starts a story that his rival 5 business is backed by American capi- tai. l saw denials of several such sto- ries in the Singapore papers when l was there. The Singapore street rail way was said to be owned by Ameri- can capital and business at once fell off, so the manager offered to forfeit a thousand pounds to a Chinese hospital if he could not prove the story untrue. There are so many nationalities and re- ligions in this section that a business man must be extremely careful. A sto- ry was started that a certain brand of condensed milk was made of pigs milk; an absurdity, of course, but ex- tremely religious people are always looking for insults. Certain of the sects look upon the pig as unclean, so they quit buying that particular brand of condensed milk. The manufacturer is in a rage, but he can do nothing Atcllison Globe.
