Modern Passion for Display,


1t was a century and a half ago that Ben
jamin Franklin wrote that ''idleness and
pride tax with heavier hand than kings
and pariaments,' but his message comes
with peculiar force to the people of this
day and generation Perhaps idleness is
no greater vice than in Franklin's time,
but the sort of pride that taxes mems
pocketbooks never before flourished as
now. The desire OF the poor to ape the
rich, the universal effort and determine
ton to keep up appearances for appearance
sake, is one of the curses of this age.
That hollow appearances are but tokens of
superficial minds too few understand.
Men and women OF moderate means as
pire TO make the same display in spending
money that their more wealthy neighbors
do, and, when adversely comes, finding
themselves with no money saved they
realize too late, as Franklin would say,
that they have paid too dearly for the
whistle.

SPECIAL INTERESTS IN THE SENATE

The house will have before it railroad
rate bill on which its committee has unani-
mously agreed After debate 1t will be
passed and sent to the senate, which will
thus be forcd to act. That 1t should be
openly conceded that the senate is the
representative of special interests and not
of the people is most serious. 1t is what is
expected of the British House OF Lords
But the Britons have forced the lords into
a position of virtual harmlessness. 1t is
utterly ASSOCIATED from control of the
purse. With us our senate is only nomin-
ally so. The senate in the course of its
encroachments virtually exercises the
power of raising revenue-cnstitutionally
lodged with the house-by altering and
amending house measures. while 1t is en-
dowed with an executive power in the con-
firmation of the presidents appointments
and in the ratification of treaties that is
wholly beyond the power of the House of
Lords.
With active powers that thus hold Iegis-
Iation in it's grip on the one SIDE and ex-
ecutive exercise on the other, the senate
has grown beyond the intentions OF the
fathers. Instead of becoming to the people
a protection and a conservative force, It
has become the servant of special interests,
of trusts and corporation Of various kinds
The story is set out with unmistakable
plainness in our Washington correspon-
dence. The people will have to face the
fact that this most powerful body in their
institutions does not represent them. By
this is meant not that now and again and
at all times there should be in this body
men that are the agents of special interests
as against the general interests; men that
are there to control legislation for private
and against public interests when these

CUTICURA REMEDIES

"Our baby had that dreadful COM

him for several months, commencing at

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, H., to q druggist and got
a 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 year. In about ninety
days he was fully recovered, with the
exception of a rough skin, which is
gradually disappearing, and eventually

"Praise for the Cuticura Remedies
has always been our greatest pleasure,

may be relied upon to fight its
BATTLES; that the American private
citizen is readily transformed into in
vlncible fighting material The men
who enlisted at the call OF Abraham
Lincoln came from every location in
private life, and quickly submitted
themse Ives to military discipline and
were soon prepared for the serious
duty Of the soldier.
Among those who enlisted In the
army of the Union were the best men
OF every neighborhood. They we're
loyal to their country and went with
uncomplaining lips in to the hell Of
battle, to do and to die, If need be.
Among those who attain high rank
in civic affairs, there is one whose
name comes unhidden to our lips to-
day, and that is the name Of William
Mckinley. We recall it with pride
and satisfaction. He was our friend
and we were his. When his country
was in peril, he Willingly rendered
his service. His name was upon the
roll of the private soldier. He enlist
ed to serve wherever duty commanded.
for duty was, with him, always his
supreme commander. He enlisted as
a private. He was mustered out as a
major. HE won his promotion by
gallantry upon the field.
The private of 1861 became presi-
dent in 1897, but whether private or
president, ne was the same simple
minded, patriotic, devoted American
citizen. 10 serve at the post of
duty whether humble or exalted
station, was honor to him.
History has forever linked together
the names Of Abraham Lincoln and
William Mckinley. They will live as
long as the public survives. They
we're the instruments of Providence
in advancing the cause Of human
freedom. Each was obliged to assem-
BILE The army and navy Of the United
States, yet each did so with great
reluctance, and only when the last APP
peal for peace went unheeded.
Neither sought war, but both wrought
and hoped and prayed that it might
be averted and that the nation should
rest secure iii honorable peace, but
He who presideS over the destiny OF
the Republic had ordered otherwise.
To Abraham Lincoln it was given to
conduct a mighty war, far-reaching
in its splendid consequences, the end
of which no mortal saw from the be-
ginning. William Mckinley conduct
ed comparatively small war; yet it
was large in its beneficent results,
results Of which none dreamed when
it was declared.
Members of the Grand Army Of the
Republic, you made forever glorious
American arms, not only because you
achieved a great victory, but because
you won it in au everlastingly right
eous cause. You have the conscious
ness Of a mighty work we'll perform
ed. May you Eenjoy to the utmost
the years which lie before you, and
we trust that, in Gods providence,
they may be many of the rich fruits
of your service and your sacrifices in
the greatest war in all our history
