HARVARD GRADUATES s7s.
Secretary Hitchcock at Commencement
Talks on "Graft."


| Cambridge, Mass, June 2S.--At the
two hundred and SEVENTEEN commences
ment of Harvard University yesterday,
in which degrees were conferred on
class of 973. which was 81 less than
last year, the feature WAS an address
by Ethan Allen Hitchcock, secretary
of the Interior on whom the honorary
degree of Decor of laws was conferred.
The keynote of the secretary's address
was Graft"
1T is probably asserted and claimed
for our country" said MIR. Hitchcock,
that it is the land of the free and the
home of the brave, but while it is his
torically true that 1t is the home of the
physically brave it is question in my
mind whether it is not too much the
land of the free and too little the land
of the morally brave. In other words
whether or not, in various directions
license has taken the place of liberty
and corruption has run riot at the eX-
pense of. patriotism.
About four years ago special agent
of the land office forwarded a report
inelosing the confession of one guilty
man who. as is usual in such cases,
complaining of the unequal division OF
the spoils, exposed the action of three
other confederates who had for years
Systematically and Illegally acquired
possession of hundreds of thousands Of
acres of the public domain thru in
strumentalities and agencies which
were absolutely corrupt.
THE Investigations involved the ar
rest, Indictment and conviction of over
500 individuals in over twenty of the
states and territories. including among
the number some who had hitherto
stood high In the communities in which
they resided.
Without the invaluable and ever
ready assistance of our colleagues OF
the department of justice and above all
else, without the inspiration, example
and support at all times and under all
circumstances of that famous son of
Harvard, the president of the United
States--but little progress would have

ZINES AND IMPRISONMENT.

Congress is going the right way to-
ward enforcement of the pure food
law when it shows the food adulterator
the path to the Jail door. The bill as
agreed upon makes it a felony for any
person to manufacture, sell, or offer
for sale any article of food, drugs, med
iicines or liquors which is adulterated
Tor misbranded, or which contains any
poisonous substance. Infractions of
THE law will, if it is properly enforced,
ssubject violators to fines ranging from
I$20o to $1,000 and years imprison-
Iment.
| However drastic the penalty may
Iseem, it is becoming generally recog-
Inized that imprisonment is the logical
land effective way to deal with the rich
offender. Companies gaining huge IL
Illegal profits naturally check fines into
The expense account and go on break

r1ADE FROn NATIVE ROOTS.
SAFE AND RELIABLE.

That the roots OK many native plants,
growing wild in our American forests,
possess remarkable properties for the cure
of human maladies is well proven. Even
the untutored Indian had learned the
curative value of some OF these and
taught the early settlers their uses. The
Indian never liked work SO he wanted his
Squaw to get well as soon as possible that
she might do the work and let him hunt.
Therefore, he dug "papoose root for her,
for that was their great remedy for fe-
male weaknesses. DIR. Pierce uses the
same root-called Blue Cohosh-in his
"Favorite Prescriptions" skillfully COM
bined with other agents that make it
more effective than any other medicine in
curing all the various weaknesses and
painful arrangements peculiar to women.
Many afflicted women have been saved
from the operating table and the sur
geon's knife by the timely use OF Doctor

Jackson and Carroll counties. In re-
! gard to the fake contests from Han
| cock and Polk counties their commit
tee was unanimous in declaring that
these were not in fact contests, that
there was nothing on which the com
mittee could act and that the so-called
licontests from those two counties
should not be taken up in any way.
| The other two were legitimate con-
ltests. The committee on credentials
decided these contests strictly on fac
tional lines-the convention, following
the precedents Of many years-passed

report and the report being submitted

And the preacher in his pulpit is a
rather sordid cuss,
He's forgotten all about the ortho-
dox;
His hell is soft as velvet, and his heav-
en- is snap,
And he breaches straight to his coll
lection box.
His sermons are Idyllics" just as
easy as can be,
Little mixtures of some honeyed
words and rhyme;
If he preached hell-fire and birthstone
he would surely lose his job
It's a case of 'fget the money" every
time.

Because the Register and Leader
recently intimated that Dave Palmer
railroad commissioner, stood ready to
deliver the goods" to j. w. Blythe
upon demand, Dave Brant, of the Iowa
City Republican, grows indignant, and
instead of answering the accusation
by the Des Moines paper, goes into a
choleric citation of the fact that Pal
mer was a soldier. What has that to
do with his duties as railroad COM
missioner?
SOL.
TOO MUCH CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.
manson Democrat
The Laurens Sun recently published
three and one-half columns of stuff
about Christian science. If the Sun
received advertising rates for it, there
was some excuse for publishing it, bus
even at that it was hardly right to
afflict the readers with it, The editor
of paper owes a duty to his subscrib-
ers, and it is wrong to unload whole
mess of sectarian stuff on them when
they have no chance to defend them
selves.

The proposition to submit to an inn
partial tribunal, made up of district
judges, the settlement Of the contests
in all the counties which will present
rival delegations to the state conven-
ton. looks good to US. Such a tribu-
nal could take time to go into each case
carefully, and decide it strictly on it's
merits as a matter of equity and right.
If this is done the real choice of the
people will be ascertainedy and there
will be no chance and no excuse for
either faction of the party to precipi-
tate any bolt in the state convention
We hope the wiser heads of the party
will insist upon some such arbitrament
in advance of the convention.
