OUR lCONOCLASTIC PRESIDENT

One important memorial day ad-
dress has been somewhat overlooked
in which Lieut.. Gov. Sherman of IL
linois pointedly attacked some of
President Roosevelt's policies and
especially his attempt to dictate to
congress and overthrow states rights
and home rule. The crying lawless-
ness of the age said Governor
sherman lis the gradual weakening
of the legislative branch of the gov
eminent. We need not denounce the
cause. We deplore the fact The
cause may be the personality OF It's
members. 1t may be the insidious
attacks of the executive from time
to time. The legislature originally
was the strongest and most repre-
sentative. II is so no longer.
The state governments are pow
, erful agencies to train the citizen to
/ an appreciation and understanding
! of civic duties, either in state or gen
| eral government. The state cannot
| be reduced 10 a mere outlying fedeT-
al province, dependent upon the

Such advice from a republican Of

DRINKING WATER.
To Be Of Any Use It Must Be Pure or
Comparatively So.

Comparatively 90.
Water is the universal solvent,
and it preserves this property in
side the human body as well as with
out. II is therefore useful, in
deed indispensable, substance. But
it must b. taken with discretion.
If one drinks a hard water-one
Already Y saturated with saIts-it
does little good, for all its energy
must be expended in removing from
the system the mineral matter
which it already holds in solution,
and the animal waste is left where
it was before.
A drinking water to be of any
use must be pure or comparatively
so. Distilled water is the best drink,
but unless it is aerated-shaken up
so as to absorb ART is flat and
most unpalatable.
Rain water in the country is dis
titled water and if properly collect
ed and stored is excellent for drink
ing purposes. The first fall shoul |
be allowed to run away, for it con-
tains the dust and other impuritiej
in the air and also the bird drop
pings and dirt from the roof or 9TH
er collecting surface.
The cistern in which it is stored
should be protected from the sur
face DRAWINGS and should be tight
ly covered TO keep out dust. Water
so kept is greatly preferable to well
water, which is almost never beyond
the possibility of contamination,
no matter how far it may be from
the barn or the outhouses and no
matter tho"gh it may be at higher
level. There are often seams and
cracks in the earth which give free
way to water, and in this way the
surface washings may be carried to
the bottom of a deep well a long
way off and on higher level.
Many persons will not trust any
natural supply and drink only bot
tied water, either natural or artifi-
cial. But this is not always as safe
as it seems to be. The maker of
the artificial water may not filter it
before charging it with carbonic
acid gas, and then of course it is no
better than the water of the town
where it is made.
The natural waters may be pure
and they may not, just as any spring
may be pure or contaminated.
Those who live in cities where the
water is filtered may safely drink it
if they can be sure the water sup
piled is always that which came
through the filter beds. Those in
charge of public water supplies have
been known to mix unfltered water
with the filtered or to substitute it
entirely without warning to the
users.-Youth's Companion.

Jap Sign of Fidelity.

'"lhe Japs are a fine race" said
a globe trotter, "but there's one
thing about them l don't like. The
married women all blacken their
teeth with a paste made out Of
sweet oil and SCOT. When young
married woman gives you a smile,
instead of being ravished with a
glimpse as Of snow on ro3es-pearly
teeth cleaning between red lips
you look into a black hole. You
frown. You turn away in disgust.
The idea is that the married wom-
EMS black teeth, making them un-
attractive. keeps them faithful to
their husbands. Seems TO me it
must have the opposite effect on
the husbands" New York Press.

Celestial Game.

There is a clergyman Of Brooklyn
who, contrary to the usual custom
of his profession, is much given to
sport Especially does he like bit
of shooting in the Adirondacks.
During his last expedition to that
region, in company with a friend,
they were tramping through a
stretch of woods at twilight when
suddenly something fitted by their
heads. The Brooklyn divine prompt
ly brought his gun into play and
brought the creature down. Upon
Fastening to the spot where it fell
they beheId the face of a white owl
staring at them out of the grass.
Whereupon the clergyman exclaim-
I'd, with some agitation:
"Come away, Jack, come awayi

Old Indian Mathematics.

1t is remarkable to what extent
Indian mathematics enter into the
science of our time. Both the form
and the spirit of the arithmetic and
algebra Of modern times are essen
TALLY Indian and not Grecian.
Think of that most perfect of math-
ematical symbolisms, the Hindoo
notation; think of the Indian arith-
metical operations nearly as perfect
as our own; think Of their elegant
algebraical methods and then judge
whether the Brahmans on the banks
of the Ganges are not entitled to
some credit. Unfortunately some
of the most brilliant of Hindoo dis
coveries in indeterminate analysis
reached Europe too late to exercise
the influence they would have ex-
erted had they come two or three
centuries earlier. - "History of
Mathematics" Cajori.
The Greenville journal. [volume] (Greenville, Ohio) 1850-1918, 1907-04-04

One very serious question that
arises in connection with the
physical situation of the railroads
by the government is whether or
not they shall be given in the
valuation the benefit of the un-
earned increment. This is a mat
ter that is being seriously con-
sldered by the Interstate Com
merce Commission, though it has
not yet said how it's decision will
go. But the case was brought up
sharply in the recent investiga-
ton of the Hill lines, where the
actual and careful valuation of
the property, including terminals
and right of way at the price of
surrounding property footed up
a total of about $500, 900,
while the officials of the road
themselves confessed that the
actual investment was not quite
a tenth of that amount. The
same question would arise in de-
termining the valuation of a land
grant road as compared with a
road built entirely by private pur-
chase. The Interstate Commerce
Commission expresses wish to
be perfectly fair, both to the
roads and to the public, when the |
question is finally settled, but it |
will be very hard to do complete |
justice to both sides. AS appears !
