PRAISES GOVERNOR HUGHES
HAS NEVER SOUGHT OFFICE
Indiana Paper Pays . High Tribute to New York
 States Official.
A Fairbanks Paper in Indiana Warm
 ly Praises New Yorlss' Governor.

AJ IFHtsES NeW oFkS OuVeFnOF,
 He has made his way simply on his own merits. Governor Hughes is not, and never has been. an office-seoker Of the gentle art of self-advert sing he knows nothing. He took up the in- suranee Inquiry simply because 1t came to him in the line of his profess sion, and because ha believed that 1t was his duty to accept the employment, His work in that investigation first brought him prominently before the public It, indeed, made Inevitable his nomination IS the Republican candi- date for Governor of New York He did not ask for that nomination, and made no effort to get it. Prhably he did not want it. But he accepted the honor and assumed the responsibility because he believed that the public in- terest demanded that he should do so The result showed that he was prob- ably the only Republican who could have been elected, For he was the on- ly man on the ticket who was success ful. The campaign which he made was most creditsblo to himself. The people took note of it and approved
 Since Mir. Hughes has been governor ihe has been guided only by his sense of duty He has not played politics even to get his measures through the legislature. He has acted on the theory that both he and the members of the legislature were the servants of the people, and that 1t was the duty of both to be faithful to their masters. If others failed to do their duty it was for the people, and not for him, to punish them. He entered into no deals, made no bargains, refused to use the power of patronage which was h's-and yet he got results Nothing in our recent political history is more remarkable than the complete surrender of the boss-controlled legislature of New York to Governor Hughes. He took his stand on what he believed to be right, and the politicians came round to him. They did this because he made 1t per- fectly clear that to fight him was to fight the people, and that was some thing which the politicians did not care to do openly.
 The case seems the more remarkable when we remember that Governor Hughes has no popular qualities, He Is not impulsive or magnetic, and of course is without any of the arts of the demagogue, On the contrary he is what is called a ''cold'' man. The im- pression that he creates is that he is in office, not because he wants to be, but because duty called him to public station. He does not court, and never has courted, popular applause His frankly expressed preference is for pri- vate life Office simply as office has no charms for him. He did not ask for the governorship. It was forced on him. His present popularity is not the result of any efforts on his part to cultivate 1t. His appeal to the people is on the basis of the work he has done. And the appeal has been effective.
 There is no sincerer reforsner in the country than the New York governor, and yet he is cautious and careful, and wholly without any spectacular quali- ties.-Indianapolis News

the country towns. fine houses own ed by former representatives. This is the story about them. "Mr. Blank represented this town at one session of the legislature, He didn't have mo- thing, when he went there but after he got back he built this $2,500 house" It is human nature that if you squeeze a man too close he will become dishonest. The tradesman will adulterate his goods. The legislator and his family can not starve-he will accept bribes. An honest poor man to-day can not go to the legislature, unless he be an in dependent farmer and 1t be the slack season.
 The rich man can not we'll repre- sent the citizens. He is not of that broad general culture. He is too much of a specialist, the accumula- ton of wealth is his monomania
 The salary should be so large that all thebest men of the State shall not be deterred by financial reasons from serving the State through the general assembly.
 Five hundred dollars is not an ex- traordinary fee for the services of a skillful physician to mend your body or a skilful lawyer to mend your es- tate. Is $500 too much to pay a skill full and unsullied legislator who must consider through long weeks the ills of his sovereign State?
 We say increase the salary of the State legislators by $200; as to the politicians you can't spoil a rotten egg.

One of the greatest triumphs of Lydia D. Pinkhaln's Vegetable Com pound is the conquering of woman's dread enemy Tumor,
 The growth of tumor is so in sidious that frequently it's presence is wholly unsuspected until it is we'll advanced.
 So called wandering pains" may come from it's early stages or the presence of danger may be made manifest by excessive monthly periods accompanied by unusual pain, from the abdomen through the groin and thigh.

 T take great pleasure in writ ing to thank you for what Lydia E. Pinkhan's Vegetable Compound has done for me. l also took the Blood Purifier in alternate doses with the Compound. Your medicine removed a cyst tunor Of four years growth, which three of the best physicians declared I had. They had said that only an operation could help me. l am very thankful that followed friends advice and took your medicine. It has made me a strong and well woman and shall recommend it as long as live. ,

Dear Mrs. Pinkham :---

Dear Mrs. Pinkham :--
 q was told by my physician that I had flbroid tumor and that I would have to be operated upon, wrote to you for advice, which 1 followed care fnlly and took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, am not only cured of the tumor hut other female troubles and can do all mS, own work after eight years of suffering"
 Mrs. s. J. Barber, of Scott, N. ". writes
 Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
 Sometime ago l wrote you for advice about tumor which the doctors thought would have to be removed. Instead took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and to-day am well woman.
 Mrs, M. M. Funk, Vandergrift, Pa. writes:
 Dear Mrs. Pinkham :---
 q had tumor and Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound removed 1t for me after two doctors had given me up. was sick four years before I began to take the Compound. I now recommend Lydia E. Pinkham's Veget- able Compound far and near"
 Such testimony as above is con- vincing evidence that Lydia B. Pink hams Vegetable Compound stands without a peer as remedy for Tumor Growths as we'll as other distressing ills of women, and such symptoms as Bearing-down Sensations, Displace- ments, Irregularities and Backache. etc. Women should remember that it is Lydia E. Pinlham's Vegetable Com pound that is curing so many women Don't forget to insist upon it when some druggist asks you to accept something else which he calls just as good"

is an honorable gentleman; he has the
love and respect Of the entire country
and he cannot afford. after making this
declaration, 10 disregard It.
Taking II for granted that 1t is settled
that we cannot nave four years more Of
Mr., Roosevelt's guidance, what seems to
be the most logical course for the people
TO pursue? Does 1t not seem that the
next best thing is 10 have a man who is
as near Mr.. Roosevelt IN administrative
views as possible? As to who this man
is. of course there is a wide difference
Of opinion-which is natural It does seem
10 me, however, that Mr.. Roosevelt
through his lopg association with, and his
knowledge of the men who are prominent
before the people, knows better than any
other man who would be most apt to
give the people a continuance of the
Roosevelt administration.
What the great mass OF the people want
is prosperity. This is what the people
should seek 10 continue IN selecting a
President. How any considerable "shak-
ing up Of our present smooth-running
affairs, by the Inauguration of different
policies and methods can be supposed 70
contribute TO- or even maintain, our pres
ent prosperity, is more than l can con-
ceive. A change of administration Is a
good sentiment for partisan campaign
battle-cry but Il is fraught with much
danger to our people ". h. MULLEN.

Calls It Andacitv-

Editor The Washington Herald:
With your permission the writer wishes
to array the affirmation of aUtocracy on
the same page with a recent act Of the
much-lauded system.
Quoting from the corrected copy in an
swer to critics in Mondays Washington
Herald.
In no place i'm the world does public
opinion govern so directly. so easily. or 50
perfectly as I'm the District OF Columbia
No other government is so completely the
choice Of the governed, or SO responsive
% their WILL
THE autocratc powers have been ex-
ercised with a constant. a circumspect.
and a sensitive regard FOR the wishes as
well as the rights OF the citizens OF the
District.
The government Of the District Of Co
lumbia is admittedly the best in the
United States, because IL is a government
by the best citizens"
There Is a modest specimen OF au-
tocracy's audacity and egostical self
iaudation. Taken as whole, its equal
would be hard to find. and here follows
a fair sample Of autOcTacy's arrogance.
Assuming authority away above the
power Oh the people, IN utter disregard
Of their earnest pleas and most vehement
protests. by an act most arbitrary. ignor-
ing and denying their repeatedly ex-
pressed will and wishes, the wells Of the
people are destroyed and they deprived Of
the admittedly purest and best water in
the city, enjoyed as a luxury and neces-
sity Of life Of three generations Of our
citizens
No such act bears the stamp Of ideal
government, but has been pronounced and
condemned in terms most emphatic and
unqualifedly a fragrant injustice to all
people concerned, a violation Of citizens
rights and human rights, Unwarranted by
the finding of facts, and unjustified in all
reason, sense, and science.
A study Of the acts OF the tyranny Of
all times will show few parallels as in
famous.
How impertinent in an ex-mayor of a
Western city to come here and CriticiSe
this admittedly best government in the
universe. most especially so under the
present faultless and infallible admins

Books to Cultivate.

Editor The Washington Herald.
AS Washington is a city Of hot-bed
universities where so many thousands Of
young men who have not had the advan-
tages Of a college education are rushed
into the professions after two OF three
winter courses Of nights, after working
hard all day in the departments, I have
thought that I could suggest. possibly
from what C0Ierldge calls his prodigious
circuit Of reading, "a list Of books which
would 20 far TO supply the deficiencies Of
their scholastic training. Indeed. / cannot
conceive any list that would 90 so far
that way as the short list given beIow-aH
of easy access in this great city Of libra
rles. Most of these books are in the de-
partment Libraries. and the earnest read
er can procure nearly all of them without
the cost OF a penny
Garfield once told me that he never
allowed a day 20 pass that he did not
read at least one book he had never seen
before. That rate would 20 over my list
three or four times a year; but I think
that the reading Of the books shall name
should take at least a whole year. or
course one who has read widely OF weII
for many years can read proftabIy three
or four books through in less time than a
pooriy-read man can read one

this, and so was Lord Bacon. who knew
what to read rapidly and what 10 skip

The Masonic TEMPLE,
WILLIAM HENRY BURR.

Editor The Washington Herald.
A mIsconception exists among those IN
terested as to the identity of the Masonic
body that officially and otherwise origi-
mated the proposition to erect a Masonic
temple in this city. OF course. 1t makes
little difference, so long as the proposed
building IS erected. Here is the record:
Extract from the minutes Of Pentalpha
Lodge No. %. January Z, 1895:
con motion OF J. c. Johnson. a com
mittee Of three was appointed, consisting
Of J. c. Johnson, W. A. Kimmel, and
Benjamin a. Harlan. to investigate and
agitate the matter OF building a suitable
Masonic temple and 10 devise ways and
means TO accomplish said purpose &c.
II was further resolved at the same
meeting that such committee confer with
other Masonic bodies In the District, and
ask that they form ike committees. The
Pentalpha committee was dissolved De
Cember Il 1896 as the matter was al

Grand Lodge.
On February II, 1897, Columbia Com
mandery, No. 2 K T, held "A special con-
clave 10 consider the matter Of building
the temple. So It would seem, If any
credit accrues for origination Of the
building scheme Lodge No. @ should be
