Brady as governor of Alaska there re-
tires from official life a man whose
career should be an inspiration to
every American boy. Ex-Governor
Brady was waif on the streets of

age of and sent him west, where he
found home and friends among strang-

through Yale and Union Theological
seminary and following an unsuccessful
attempt to found a colony of slum boys
in Texas he went as missionary to

The average treatment of stomach
troubles consists Of rigid diet list,
which often half starves the patient.
Of course it would be foolish for anyone
who knows that some foods are positive
ly harmful and poisonous to continue

Mi-o-na treatment, but in ordinary cases
of stomach troubles it is not necessary
to starve or diet if Miro ma is faithfully

This scientific remedy, for cure of
stomach troubles, acts upon the whole
digestive system, and strengthens the
organs so they are able to digest any
food that is eaten without fear of
distress.

ACCUMULATION OF WEALTH..

In the course of his address to Topeka
democrats last week, Governor Folk of
Missouri made some striking remarks
on the accumulation of great wealth.
He asserted that "the people do not
oppose riches honestly acquired" but
denounced the artificial ways in which
immense fortunes have been accumulat-
ed" and declared.
If Christ had avoided the cross, or
if any one of those who walked with
him had remained on earth with man
and preached the gospel of salvation
from that day to this, and the world
had paid him for every day Of the
nineteen centuries salary of $500 a
a day, and he had saved every cent Of
it, his piled up fortune would not nearly
equal that of Mr.. Carnegie. Had
Providence ordained that Adam, the
graf man, should have life eternal here,
and as the ruler of his millions of
descendants had received salary of
S175 day, his six-thousand years saw
ings would not bring his fortune up to
that of Mr.. Carnegie. Yet the wages
OF the average man is nearer S1.75 a
day than S175 and instead of six thou
sand years the span of life barely
reaches forty years. If a man were to
receive $4,000 year, and save every
cent of it, he would have to live thou
sand years before he could match his
fortune with that of the oil prince,
acquired through the special privileges.
A salary of 100000 year paid some
of the insurance presidents, seem to be
grossly eNorbitant. Still the president
of an insurance company, if he received
that salary and saved it all, without
grating on the side or using the trust
funds to his own profit, would have to
toll and save five hundred years before
he could acquire as much as those at
the head of the financial class to-day.
The governor aptly added: "These
cold figures are staggering Such
immense fortunes could not be accum-
ulated if the doctrines of equal rights
prevailed, sit is done because of the
rule of special privileges" His moral
follows:
In the meantime the great masses
of people go plodding along working
from sun to sun, eking out an existence;
and yet these common people are the
sovereigns of this country. They have
it in their power to correct this unjust
system, which if permitted to continue
will make money kings out Of some and
vassals out of the rest of the people,.
