U,hen Graft
Becomes the Ideal.

Whittier are we tending? Are our
hearts to become as hard and cold as |
the steel in our boosted skyscrapers? |
VIII our histories soon begin to up |
hold the Rockefellers and the Nor
gans instead of the Washingtons and
Lees? They might as well, it would
seem. for in everyday life we are
beginning to idealize the man with
the biggest automobile and the long
est list of ciphers on the proper SIDE
of the dollar mark. Nowadays the
average boy has it dinned into MIN
that the CRATER occupies the high
places of power. He may read OF
/ lives of sacrifice and hear lectures
| proclaim that only yirture and honesty
win. but the attitude of the fellow he
comes in contact with in passing out
OF the hall, and the homage. which
he sees given to men of wealth, are
going to impress him the more.
We are reaching an age-if the
present continues-where graft is go
ing to be the ideal. Our generations
rise to the ideal and always have, be

SYMPTOMS OF RABIES.
Signs BY Which You May Know When

Hydrophobia is SO rare and terrifying
that It's symptoms and treatment are
little understood. AS matter Of fact,
the commonly accepted expression Of
madness In dog is often misleading
The real mad dog does not shun wa

What, then, are the indications Of the
mad dog? To those familiar with a
given dog the surest symptom and the
one which should excite closest atten-
ton is q distinct and unaccountab BILE

DEADLY HEADACHE CURES

A news story from Houston con-
tains the sad account of a young
woman who died in the street, a
victim of headache powders. There
is nothing unusual in the story, and
save for its closeness to home, moth
ing of unusual interest in it. Deaths
from too much headache medicine
are too common to be of more than
passing interest. Still, they should
be.
The death of young person is
always 1amentable occurrence,
and when it is the death of young
person in general good health and
with the promise of useful, help
full, happy life. as this young woman
seems to have had, the tragedy be-
comes greater. And deaths of this
kind-deaths from an overdose of a
pain-killing drug-seem so entirely
without reason. All manner of dead
ly drugs are incorporated in head
ache powders and tablets, strongest
proof of which is that they kill pain.
To destroy a pain without in any
way removing the cause of that pain
must of necessity require power
full drug, and yet numberless diff
ferent preparations are offered for
sale, and there are druggists who
will recommend them as being as
harmless as water. No headache
preparations can be harmless and at
the same time accomplish that for
which it is prescribed. Any person
with reasonable intelligence should
be able TO grasp that fact without be-
ing told. And yet the consumption
of headache medicines continues,
yearly there are added victims to the
use of it, and there are, to be sure,
many who use them and escape. Yet
none actually do escape. If they are
not killed outright they have the
possession of strong heart TO
thank for it, and even at that the
detrimental effects from such power
full drugs are many.
Only those who have suffered the
agonies of acute and oft recurring
h adaches are able 10 realize to
what lengths the torture will drive
one, but almost uncomfortable as the
pain may be, the doctoring should
be directed at the cause rather than
the effect.-For Worth Record.

MORE GOVERNMENT SUGGESTED

The Waco Times Herald wants
revival of old-fashioned democracy
in Texas, but it finds poor encour-
agement in the paternalistic ideas
that are thrust forward by some of
those chosen by the party to make
the states laws.
For instance, referring to one of
Colonel Charles H. Jenkins latest
devices for saving the country, the
Times-Herald swats it after the fol-
lowing fashion: The tax collectors
of the state met In Fort Worth the
other day and Colonel jenkins was
in their midst exhibiting a new de-
vice from his prolific brain. It's a
mighty cold day in August when the
colonel isn't there with the goods.
He wants the legislature, so he told
the tax collectors, to enact a law
to obtain a certificate from the col
lector that all delinquent taxes have
been paid before he can make title
to any would-be purchaser Is this
sort of thing to go on forever. Are
We never coming to the place where
the citizen can conduct his business
without a certificate of good char
acter from the state? By what au-
thority, save that of despotic power
can the state prescribe to the citizen
how he shall dispose of his land?
This is of sort with that other
Brown county proposition, doubtless
a gift from Colonel jenkins, that
the corporation can not sell at diff
ferent prices. The state has claim
on each acre of ground for her sup
port. and this claim she should en-
force without resort to meddle-
some statute such as Colonel Jen-
kins proposed"
The slogan of fewer laws and bet
ter laws is gathering increased fol-
lowing every day, but until the great
mass of the people come definitely
W uHutIStdnd tHdt legislative en-
actments can not cure every i'll with
which the country is afflicted, it may
be expected that there will be plen-
ty of doctors" to multiply prescrip-
lions ad nauseum usque.
Possibly we may yet be forced by
the confusion growing out of num-
berless perpleXing and unreasonab BILE
statutes TO conclude that Thomas
Jefferson knew better what he was
talking about than do some of our
modern statesmen when he affirmed
that that country is best governed

time, yet the little fledgling scam
pered back to the home nest not
much the worse for wear and
scarcely less welcome for having
wandered away. Whether the coming
separation of Cuba from this coun-
try will be any more successful,
there are divers opinions. Some there
are, and their numbers seem to in
clude largely those capitalists in this
country who have money invested on
the island, who believe the present
supervision of this government, pos
sibly resulting in the formation Of a
new state in the union, would be far
the best; but there are others, the
numbers not fewer, who are heartily
of the opinion that the island is per-
fectly well-fitted to govern itself now.
Among the latter are Mr.. Taft and
Gov. Magoon, who have been, per-
haps, in a better position than any
other two citizens to come to conclu-
sions upon this important question.
The separation may possibly re-
suit in another failure, but, basing
ones judgment on comparison of
conditions then and now, no such a
result should be expected. At any
rate, those who wish to see no sep
aration, whoever they are, only do
SO because of a sincere desire to see
Cuba prosper in every particular.
Good luck, then, too the new repub-
lie.
