Now | ask in the name of common
sense, why is it that the average
farmer will allow himself to be the
dupe of those designing scoundrcls
when the expos ire of their frauds are
so numerous as to be everyday af-
fairs. Bulletin No. IA of the Eir-
ginia Experiment Station, bulletin 81
of the Hatch Experiment station at
Amherst. Mass, and hundreds of
other bulletins from different sta
tions have shown beyond doubt that
at least 9o per cent. of the powders
and proprietary medicines are put
up expressly to catch suckers, there
by increasing their wealth thou
sand per cent. on every transaction.
1t has been shown time and again
that condimental powders, costing
but u tritic to the h"mb"gg'r, and re-
failing as Sheridan 5 powders for in
stance, at SD. per ton. have not Il
particle of medicinal virtue in them.
and the same may be said of nearly
all the patent medicines, and yet the
damphools will continue to bite. and
the Smart Alecks will continue to
bait their hook. \ hint to the wise
is sufficient. J. c. Cog.

THE OLD WORLD AND ITS WAYS"

This tho title of a new and pro-
fusely Illustrated book by Col. Will
liam Jennings Bryan, recounting his
noted Journey around the earth and
through Europe, which was so widely
heralded through the American press.
The book is an illustrated and de-
scriptive record of that journey,
which is SO memorable in current
history. The journey embraced q
period of a year, and covered practi-
cally all the nations of the earth.
Col. Bryan travelled with camera
and pencil; and not only described, in
brilliant phrase, what he saw, but fur
ther illustrated his journey by photo
graphs. The photographs constitute
striking pictorial presentation and
lend especial interest to the book
They number l40 and they show in
picture the world as he saw it. They
constitute just that many striking
Object Lessons of the people of all
countries in their cities, towns and
villages in their homes and everyday
occupations.
The hook will interest every reader
as unique presentation of q wonder
fully interesting journey. 1t Is sole
only through solicitors. The Thomp
son Publishing Company, st. Louis
Mo-, are the fortunate publishers
They advertise for agents in another

A Sensible Editor.
Shelby (Ky.) Review.

Women with the right of suf-
frage and their presence at the polls
would probably affect the most OF MS
as does'the sight Of one4 at tho gsntler
sex astride on horseback. But we
become accustomed in time to things
which at first are abhorent or strange
to us, and wonder in the end why
we eyer objected to new departures
from the old conditions, particularly
when the welfare or safety 9t our
institutions or loved ones are con-
cerned. Widows and sninsters who
have charge of children to educate
are entitled now in Kentucky to vote
for school trustees and that il the
only voice they have at the polls
Are they not, in q spirit of fairness
entitled to more? Many OF them
are the large Taxpayers OF the coun-
try and not few of them are bread
earners of the family. Has
any man, married or single, the
temerity to say that the average wo'
man has not sufficient sense to vote
as intclligently as the average legal
voter Of to-day2 That the women, al
a rule, stand for better things than
men do must be acknowledged by all

GENTLEMANLY PERJURY.
Is False Oath uader Any Circumstances.
Justifiable?
n. Y. World.

A court precedent established
years ago by the first gentleman of
Europe, at that time Prince. now
King, who in the London slang of
the day "pcriured himself like a
gentlemen in u case involving u
lady, has hcon taken up for review
ny some jurists of Chicago.
Judge Willard McEwen holds that
Il lie under oath is permissible, even
justitiablc, when spoken in defense of
Il woman's S honor. Judge Theodore
Brentano, Assistant State 5 Attorney
Barbour and others sustain this die
tum. Dissenting opinions are given
by Chief Municipal Justice Olson, who
can see no way for Il man to violate
the oath he takes on the witness
stand even to protect u woman re-
putation." Judge Mckenzie Cleland
thinks the witness who deliberately
uttcrs a falsehood is guilty of perjury
no matter for what end he has lied.
Dean Hall and Prof. Albion W. Small,
of the University of Chicago. take
this view. The law recognizes many
oXtenuatlnS circumstances. l5ut can
it admit of any except to the rule OF
strict and impartial truth which is the
foundation of all Justice? On the
other hand the witness who i'm
peaches woman $ character is every
where held in contempt.
Why must the harsh alternative
exist? Is not the courtroom pro
cedure which allows q wide margin
of objections by counsel sufficiently
elastic to protect the witness from Q
question which must inevitable in
criminate him, morally at least?
Meanwhile any man may observe
the precaution of being meyer in ;
position where he will need to commit

Among the interesting exhibits of
the early days OF Alaska and Yukon,
at the Alaska Yukon Pacific Expo
sition, which will be held at Seattle
in 1909. will be the first organ that
went into the Northland. Organs
and pianos are common now in the
north, but in 1898 mouth organ
was the largest instrument OF music
that the land possessed.
Two Seattle men that winter pur-
chased an organ for about twenty
dollars. They had money enough to
ship,'it to Skagway and q little more
for two months food. They packed
the organ oyer Chilkoot pass, taking
q month to do it, and another month
to drag the instrument to Dawson.
At that time there were over Q hun
dred new millionaires in Dawson,
many of whom had just married.
Among the women the competition
as to who would own the organ was
intense. 1t finely fell to the richest
of them oil, the wife of man who
was also the most in love. The bids
went up by the hundreds and the
organ was the basis of large fortune
for the men to whom the idea first
occurred. The organ is still in gOot
condition and bears little marks OF its
thousand mile journey over ice, anC
snow and mountain peak.

The editor may have some doubts
concerning the need of a seventh
child in the family of the proud faith
cr, and he may not be particularly
fond of Ben Davis apples, but he
gives generous notices because he

are his friends.
When JOY comes to the household
it is but the working of the heart 5
best impulcs to desire that all should

not do that. Here and there a coun-

functions without personal touch
to the lines. But infrequently does
he succeed in reaching the hearts of
his readers and somehow he finds
