and Tenth Cavalry and the Twenty
fifth Infantry, including all the negro
soldiers in the regular army in this
country, have been ordered to prepare
for service in the Philippines and
will sail at different times between
March 5th and June 5th of this year
The only other regiment composed of
negroes, the Twenty-fourth Infantry,
is now doing service in the Philip
pines.
Other troops ordered to the Phil
Ippines are the Sixth Cavalry, the
Eighteenth, Twenty-sixth, Twenty
uinth and Thirtieth Infantry The
troops which will be relieved by the
sending of these new regiments will
be the Fourth, Seventh and Eighth
Cavalry and the Ninth, Tirteentl.
Fifteenth, SiAetecnth and Nineteenth
Infantry.
1t was stated by Major Genera!
Bell, chief of staff, that the negro reg
lments are being sent to the Philip
pines because it is their turn to 20,
and not because OF any desire to ret
them out of the United States at this
time.
The negro troops are to sail for the
Philippines before most of the white
organizations, the last of which will
not leave this country until early III
January, 1908.
Statement by Department.
The following statement was issued
from the War department in explana-
ton of the orders:
There was q time, between 1902
and 1903, when the colored regiments
We're not sent to the Philippines at
all. In 1908, however, this policy was
tentatively changed, and the Twenty
fourth Infantry. coored regiment.
was sent to the Philippines and is now
Ihere. The services of the Twenty
fourth Infantry in the Philippines
has been etirely satisfactory, and it is
Thought that the services of the 9th
er regiments will be.
In reporting upon this subject
General Wood states: Il recently Wis
1ted and made an inspection of the
departments of the Visayas and Min
dano, and found the Twenty-fourth
Infantry very we'll liked by the civil
authorities in the neighborhood of its
various stations. In fact as Tacloban
the Governor expressed particular ap.
probation of the fine conduct of this
regiment
Because of this report and expe-
rience, the general staff recommend
ed and the Department decided it to
be wise to return to the former polic,.
of equal foreign service of all the REQ.
iments of the mobile army.
The present assignment of the
other colored regiments to the Phil
llppines Is merely for an equal distri-
button of foreign service. They have
not been there for four years. It now
becomes fair to them and to other
regiments that they be assigned to the
fhlllpplnes In due order.

Advertising.

Advertising is not an exact sci
ence and probably never will become
such In this field is the empiricist in
his glory, and interesting beyond ex-
preston are his efforts at times. The
whole problem is one of psychology:
To attract attention, to arouse curl
osity, to beget a need, and, finally,to
make a sale. 1t bears the same rela-
ton to business as coal to an engine;
it is the fuel of commerce and gives
it both steam and driving power. Re-
turns from its employment are not
easily ascertainable. But It is gener-
ally conceded that economy in adver-
Using is poor economy, and
large stores. in the recession of their
business, realize this when they de-
crease their advertising appropria-
tons. Those who live by means of
will live as long as they
advertise; those who cease will die
Nothing illustrates this like patent
medicine advertising. Sales are num-
erous while printers ink is resorted
to, but signally fall off when it is not
invoked. Street Summary.

mot truth to art or science has
been given,
But brows have ached for it, and
souls toiled and striyen.
And many have striven, and many
have failed,
And many died, slain by the truth
they assailed."
The Osteopathlc science has been
assailed as vigorously as ever any
new truth that has been offered the
world, but, today it is rapidly coming
into its own, as the people become
better acquainted with it--know it.
osteopathy is an revolution of the
science of treating disease. 1t went
back to the first principles in nature
for its foundation, and by taking a
step backward it has made a great
stride forward.
1t is merely a common sense
treatment; a method of manipula-
ton to restore the normal conditions
of nerve control and blood supply to
every organ of the body by removing
the physical obstruction. or stimu-
lating, or preventing functional ae-
tivities, as the condition may re-
quire.

Public opinion in England has

standing the workings of the "irre-

of the public have been so positive
and so emphatic that the power Of
$60,000,000 capital was impotent to
stand up against them. The refusal
of the retailers to sell and of the pub
lie to buy a product, however, meri-
torious, which bore the trust taint''

He Wins the Palm.

Many stories have been told Of men
such as he who used wart fo1 a col
lar button and he whose birthday gift
to his son consisted in washing the
windows so that the lad might watch
the cars go by. This man, however,
seems to have won the palm:
There was an extremely mean man
in New Hampshire, who was the pro-
prietor of a hotel. BY his direction
rules were posted in the hosiery for
bidding almost every conceivable
privilege to those not guests of the
place. There was absolutely no
chance for the casual loafer to get
newspapers, pens, ink, stationery. etc.
There were not even free seats in the
Office.
One day he CHANGED to observe a
chronic loafer gazing at the old clock
that hung on the wall. The next day
a sign was placed over the clock, It
read: "This clock is for the use Of

In justice to the states in which
the seventy-three lynchings of 1906
occurred, the record should include
the number of lynchings which were
.ayerted by the prompt action of the
executives. Regardless of all the
other acts of Governor Beckham' s
administration to his credit it always
may be said, he prevented mobs
from wreaking vengeance twice dur
ing his incumbency, and in both in
stances the law was promptly execut-
ed. More than this, his conduct met
the approval of the whole state, press
and public indicating a strong senti-
ment against such brutalizing prac-
tees, when complete enforcement of
the law is assured. 1t is probable
that lynehing viii generally be at
tempted by hot heads for some
crimes. but the popular support ac-
corded Governor Beckham and other
state executives in their efforts to
stay the hand of the mob, should Gu

Some newspapers, anxious to bOls-

We are much exercised over the
menace to State Rights since the
warning Of Secretary of State Root
but how abont State Duties? Have
we been duly considerate OF the fact
that a right implies a duty, the per
formance Of which is necessary to
the porpetuation OF that right? Sec
Rotary Root merely pointed out the
duty. We talk of federal interference
as If this wasn't our country. The
non-enforcement of laws by the
state, and the lax protection afford
ed the people have given rise to a
resentment against state institutions,
and the congressman who offers his
good Offices to remedy conditions re-
ceives popular appreciation. The ma
tional administration has not been
slow to heed this public sentiment.
Between sundry constitutional jolts
sustained to federal statutes and the
warning of Secretary Root, the laxi-
ty of state administrations promises
shortly to be sufficiently impressed
on the people to force the states into
doing their duty.
