In the present reserves, or creating
new reserves. This takes out of the
reach OF the settlers about all the pub
lie land remaining in the Western
states, except the desert land, and
promises TO create tremendous sensa-
ton IN the west, where the public land
policy of the President has been oppos-
ed by the great mass Of people. The
President has played sharp trick up
on Congress and rubs it in by suggest
ing in memorandum added to his proc
lamations that:'If Congress differs
from me it will have full opportunity
IN the future to take such position as
it may desire anent the discontinuance
of the reserves"
President Roosevelt evidently thinks
his Republican brethren in Congress
are but poor judges of what is best for
the Country for he says: . If | did
not act, reserves which consider very
Important for the interests of the Unit
ed States would be wholly or in part
dissipated before Congress has an op-
portunity again to consider the mat
ter. !" This is as much as to say that
Congress went off halfcocked when it
passed the law that g in future no
forests reserves should be created ex-
cept by actof Congress. The evident
intention of Congress being head off
the President in creating forests re-
serves, but heshas virtually nullified
the law and hints that Congress will
have to come to his way Of thinking.

the people of the Western states there
will be some thing doing amongst the
Republicans there aboutS

What Is First In Kentucky.
TFroom Louisville Herald. !

The Maysville Ledger enumerates in
order the leading products of Kentucky.
First is Kentucky's noble womanhood.
Second, her brainy and brawny sons.
Third, that unique, picturesque and
celebrated the world over species of
peculiar manhood, the Kentucky Col
onel. Fourth, is tobacco, the golden
lotus leaf, that cheers the world.
Fifth in rank is the amber nectar of
gods, that make the Colonels wear
the smile that wont wear off.
Well and wisely does the Ledger add
that these five products are few only
of the good things that Kentucky may
claim. her treasures are unlimited.
She raises corn the finest that Ameri-
can suns shine upon, wheat that gives
bread such as the Olympian gods never
dreamt of. Think of her fruits. her
poultry and her garden sass" The
squirrel breakfasts. and the "old ham,
reflections Of a generous Kentucky
hospitality, are known from pole to
pole.
We have iron and silver, precious
stones and priceless clays. Woods of
the rarest kinds are ours. The noun
tains of Kentucky kiss the rosy lips of
Aurora, cool their brows with the dews
of Iris and close sleepful eyellds in the
bosom of Nox. The rivers of Ken
lucky movewith unsurpassed dignity
and inde5cribable rhythm; her rills,
her spring and her brooks sparkle with
an effulgence borrowed from the skies.
What sky the Lord has spread out
to cover the grand old commonwealth
By days sheet of opalescent splendor,
and by night robe of imperial purple
spangled with golden stars. Kentucky
is land select, beautiful and inspiring.
So impressed with that favored section
of the State was Capt. Inlay, an Off
Ger in the Revolutionary army, who
visited Maysvlie in 1893, that he wrote
Everything here assumes a dignity

reigns, and the brilliant sun of latitude

produces in that prolific soil an early
maturity which is truly astonishing. "

Philippine independence.

The North American Review of Janu-
airy has very strong article in favor
of the Philippine independence by
Judge James II, Blout of Georgia.
Judge Blount was a captain in the
Spanish war serving both in Cuba and
the Philippines and was for four years
judge in the Philippine Islands.
He asserts that everyone ought to
know by this time, that the FiIipinos
almost without exception desire indie
pendence, and he points out the diff
culties which have attended American
rule and evils resulting therefrom.
One of the most striking parts OF his
article is the reproduction of court
order dismissing cases against a hun
bred and twenty prisoners all but one
of whom had died in Jail within seven
months. He cites the high duty put
upon cotton, the main clothing of the
FilipinOs, and the sacrifice of the Fill
pines to the interests of the sugar and
LODdCCO
Judge Blount believes that indepen-
dence should not only be promised at
once but that ten years should be fixed
as the time which should elapse before
granting independence. He also favors
the naturalization of the islands by
treaty.
Judge. Blount's article is valuable
addition to the literature on the Philip
pine question. Naturalization is mot
only desirable but possible. Whether
tine should be fixed for indenpen.
dence or the time left indefinite is
matter upon which the friends of Philip
Pine independence will differ. But as
they all agree that promise should be
made now and that independence should
be permittedsas soon as a stable gov
eminent can be established, the fixing
of the time is of minor Importance.
If the cause would be strengthened
by fixing date, it ought to be fixed,
otherwise ct is better to leave it indefi-
mite and this question can only be de-
termined by those who desire to see IN
dependence an accomplished fact.

1t Pays to Use Fertilizing Sale.

~
Those who have used Salt on light,
sandy or WORKOUT soils are almost
unanimous in the opinion that it is the
cheapest ard best fertilizer that they
can use on this kind of land, especial
ly for oats. The application of from
600 lbs. To 1000 lbs. per acre is said to
more than double the crop. Salt is al
so excellent as weed killer. The Yer
mont Experiment Station especially
recommends it for killing Paint Brush
on grass land. G. 5. Page, Hyde PARK,
VT, sells very desirable Salt for fer
tilizing purposes, put up in cheap 100
pound sacks. for the very low price of
$3.50 per ton, free on board cars at
Hyde Park. This price is considerably
less than that for which ordinary Salt
can be bought and this Salt contains
considerable matter that adds to it's

WARNINGS FROM A DRUGGIST.

Adulteration of food is bad enough,
but adulteration of drugs is worse.
That such a condition exists, the fire.
quepcy with which we see the cheap
cut-rate drug stores is sufficient evil
dence. When the system requires
drugs in any form whatsoever, it is
absolutely essential that these drugs
should be what they purport to be.
Talking with a retired druggist not
long since, I led toe conversation
around TO the matter of adulteration
with the result that he expressed
himself very vigorously, pointing out
how first class druggists suffer from
the unfair competition of those who
deal in cheap and adulterated pro-
ducts.
He mentioned the adulteration of
number of familiar druggists pro-
ducts which are used largely by the
public, and which the public buys in
good faith as pure. Nothing is more
familiar in the average household
, than witch hazel. This,sa the drug
gist, is put up in three grades. The
first is made from the young wood
and twigs of the shrub in 20 per cent
grain alcohol; second grade, made
from old wood, containing practically
no Juice whatever, but carrying the
odor, is made with 12l5 to Is per cent
alcohol, just sufficient to keep it from
precipitating. The only medicinal
value in this product is the alcohol il
contains, and this is below the stand
ard. A third grade is put out by very
cheap houses, and contains deodoriz-
ed wood alcohol, or So called Colum-
bian spirits.
In view Of the fact that witch haZa
is often taken internally, it is obvious
that only the pure article should bf
obtained. In this connection it Il
interesting to note the result Of
series of tests (by Laderle) of 70
samples Of witch hazel, purchased il
Greater New York. Only 90 sample
contained the required amount o
official (94.9 per cent? alcohol. Fifty
one contained less than Is, but owe
over l3 per cent; 35 contained IL, bu
less than IS per cent; Is contained
9, but less than IL per cent, an
nine actually contained less than
per cent alcohol. 1t goes withoU
, saying that some other substance ha
to be used, and the tests showed n
less than 81 samples containin
formaldehyde. It is obvious that th
consumer must get known an
tried brand of witch hazel extract.
Another common drug, accordin

j is frequently adulterated, is quinin'
