Truth and
Quality

appeal TO the Well-Informed in every
walk Of life and are essential to permanent
success and crcditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir Of SIENNA is the only remedy Of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug
gists.

PEACE CONFERENCE.

A T LAKE MOHONK, N. ", have been
( n gathered representative men of this coun-
try and some visitors. They have been discuss
ing international peace and arbitration as
means of settling disputes among nations. There
has been a great deal OF talk, and wise talk at
that Friends OF peace have been considerably
interested.
Some newspapers are inclined to criticise, if
not indeed ridicue, the conference just as
they ridicue The Hague Conference OF
Peace. Because nations do not dsarm instantly
at word of command which these critics think
should be given at the conference the conference
is of no practical effect and does nothing but
talk
Because nations still have their standing armies
and are building battleships, the conference,
with its ideas is pronounced as impractical and
a dream.
Ali great reforms in this world in their ncip-
iency were greeted with comments OF this char
acter
Even during the life Of many now living, those
persons who agitated for the abandonment OF
human slavery in these United States of Amer
lea were called "dreamers," fanatics and
threatened with violence.
And yet in our generation what horrid and
repusive thought is it that any human beings in
these United States should have once been
slaves, that even in part of this country human
bondage chattel ownership Of human beings was
considered proper and men threw nation into
terrible war in an attempt, among other things,
to perpetuate this atrocious doctrine OF human
slavery. Many other instances could be cited to
show that the manner of regarding any move
Anent in its incipiency is not to be taken as
basis for a prophecy of what will be the ultimate
outcome of that movement.
The "cranl<s" and fanatics" of one day are
often the wise men of Tomorrow
Years ago war, the legalized killing of man by
man. the dominance OF force, was regarded as the
only means of settling quarrels.
In the early days the kings and others rulers went
to war themselves, led their troops, and shared in
the fate Of their subjects. A kings hold upon his
people rested upon his personal courage and his
ability as a fighter.
Then times changed and the monarchs them
selves practically ceased leading their subjects on
the battlefield A different view was taken of
war. To-day nations dread entering a war;
whereas they once gloried in war
AS civilization advances, less frequent will be
wars, and doubtless in time war will be looked
upon as a relic of the past and disputes will be
settled in courts of arbitration just as disputes
anon gindividuals are settled in courts of law.
That day may be far distant but it will come.

WEPT AS PREACHER
AND His WIFE LEFT

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
HARRINGTON. May B.-Amid crying
and praying in the Pennsylvania Railroad
station here. Rev Dewitt NJ. Carpenter
and his wife, Mrs. Viola s. Carpenter, also
a licensed minister of the Apostolic Holi-
ness Church, left Harrington for Bowl
ing Green. Kentucky. Carpenter is the
minister who wrote a love letter and mis-
directed it, then fed. Carpenter came
back offering evidence that he was a
penitent, and that he had not forsaken
his wife for the girl to whom he had
written-had not even seen her. This was
verified by the girl herself. Pastor Car
penter was allowed to remain here as
a communicant. after a rebuke from his
district board which met at Denton.
Almost the entire congregation of the
church hocked to the Harrington station
to see them of and women wept aloud
The handshakes and waving Of tear-stain-
ed handkerchiefs appeared to be all d.
rected toward her rather than toward her
pepitent husband. who broke down and
cried.

cAMPAIeN 1N DELAWARE.

HAT most of the Democratic leaders of
\ Delaware should not wish Bryan as the
candidate for president is natural During the
two campaigns in which Bryan was the standard
bearer of the party in this State, there was little
activity among the Democrats. Most of the rank
and he OF the party supported the ticket, but the
leaders, with an exception here and there, were
shy of Bryan
This was notably so during the first Bryan
campaign, especially in Wilmington. And the
situation was improved but little during the sec
ond Bryan campaign.
While it may be said that Bryan is viewed IN
a somewhat different light by many of the Demo-
Gratis who have opposed him in the past this
change would amount to little in affecting the re-
suit Preludices and opposition are hard to over,
come With Bryan a candidate the Demo-
Gratis would enter the State campaign without en-
thusiasm and with little hope of winning In fact

cerned, would practically 60 by default
On the other hand, the Republican party is IN
excellent condition, and will be in the coming
contest, with every expectation of victory. The
party is united it has not been for years. This
very sohdity of the party has caused critics who
see the futility of the Democrats putting up

this requirement.
You must permit the partner to
make a good front" To do so,
present your advertising matter
in suitable type and in proper LAM
suage, neatly arranged.
And you must give this partner
time to show results. You would
not expect a partner to build up
your business in a day. Persist
enoe is required to obtain returns.
You must also consider the man.

ing must be respectable and 90
