The Mormon Elders, who have Just
finished series Of meetings on the
streets OF this city, have gone to
Standish where they will hold series
OF meetings next Saturday and Sun

"In behalf Of the elders / wish to

their good attendance at our meetings
and for the kind and civil treatment
at large" says Elder j. G.. Roberts.
"Their marked attention AMI desire
to know could characterize only those
who are searching for trul h.
Our hearty thanks is also extended
to the city authorities and newspaper
editors who have treated us in con-
siderate and truly American way.
Our success is not measured by the
number Of immediate converts we OBJ
tain. We baptize people only after a
thorough and careful study on their
part.
Our converts come from the honest.
industrious working classes. who un-
dcrstand thoroughly what they are
doing and are therefore not easily per-
suaded otherwise. We will come
again."

LENA Rivers"
Coming to East Jordan
i'm the Near Future.

The following Is clipped from the
Detroit Journal Of August IL, 1908:
The Lyceum season was opened Sun
day by Lena Rivers, the play of that
name by Miss Beulah Poynter from
the book of the same title by Mary j.
Holmes.
Despite the muggy weather and the
promise of rain the theatre was COM
fortably filed at both performances
Sunday.
The story Of Lena Rivers is simple.
The father Of the heroine disappears
some years before the opening of the
play and the aba ndoned wife dies of a
broken heart. The father had been
wr0ngfully accused Of murder and
had been In prison; after leaving it he
changed his name and eventually mar
ried another woman, a widow with a
grown son. Lena is loved 10y this son
and the father recognizes her, but
fears TO tell that she is his daughter
His treatment Of her gives rise to
false suspicious and the true lovers
have the usual difficulties which are
all smoothed out when the whole story
is revealed.
The play is presented by a compe-
tent company and is handsomely
mounted. 1t will be in the Lyceum
during the week with the usual matt
nees.

The Democrat Party is clamoring
for free trade, the same as it has al
ways done. and the tariff now seems
TO be the only issue in this campaign.
Mr.. Taft In his able speech Of accep'-
ance emphaJical'y declared mis- posi-
tion on that point. While Mr.. Taft
and the Republican Party will revise
the tariff after next March it must
nevertheless be done along the line Of
protection. One Of the best arguments
and in fact an unanswerable argument
in favor of projection was made by the
immortal Lincoln. He was making a
speech In Pennsylvania when some of
his friends asked HIM to say something
In favor OF protection. Mr.. Linco n
in his simple and effectiye way said
that he did not know a great deal
about the tariff but that he did know
that if we paid England $40 for ton
of steel rails, that England had the
$40 and we had the rails; if we paid
American manufactures .S45 per ton
then we had both the rails and the S4F.
This is the protective doctrine in a
nut shell and is so simple and cleGr
that no one can fail to comprehend it.
During the last eleven years TIN S
country enjoyed the greatest prosperi-
ty ever known in its history, and dur
ing those eleven years we have been
under highest tariff ever known. Tie
inference cannot be escaped. The
American people will continue the
party in power that has heen so po-
tential In establishing ahd continuing
this unprecedented prosperity. Let
well enough alone.

strand.
Watching the foamy whitecaps break
upon the hard. white sand.
And other children full of glee were
sporting at my side,
AS from the angry waves we fled or
chased their ebbing tide.
Across the dunes of drifting sand that lay
beneath the town
We saw a woman, bowed in tears. come
slowly wand ring down;
And gathering straightway at her side we
heard a tale of woe
That filled our childish hearts with awe
and hushed our voices low.
Three days before from yonder port
ship at eve set sail
And on the stormy wave went down
before a sudden gale;
A ship that bore away her son upon the
waters wide.
And with him all her happiness seemed
sunken meath the tide.
Oh, how excitedly she talked about the
storm that blew,
The gallant ship. the awful wreck.
and the ill-fated crew.
And eagerly she asked the news. If any
had been heard.
II any ship from o'er the deep had
homeward brought new word.
Might it not be that on some raft, or on
some broken spar.
Some portion of the floating wreck.

Upon wildly tossing sea they yet might
reach the shore
Ard she press to her yearnins heart her
darling boy once more?
And then adown the wave-washed strand
we saw her slowly GO,
Wringing her hands and moaning out her
bitter. bitter woe;
Straining her tear-dimmed. eager eyes
out Der the waters wild,
II somewhere on their stormy food
might float her helpless child.
But there is One who holds the winds
securely in his hands,
Beneath whose feet the waves lie still
whenever he commands;
He spake. and 10, the tempest ceased.
the bil,ows sank to sleep,
A calm like Eden's holy hush fell on
the troubled deep.
And ships adventured once again upon
the waters blue,
Allured by softly blowing winds and skies
of azure hue;
And when across the tempest's wake
steamer pushed her way.
Straight in her course little raft of
shipwrecked seamen lay.
Then came that other morn so fair, when
from its steeple tall
The old church bell with loud alarm
rang out its brazen call;
And everywhere the whistles woke and
with voice of steam
Set of the echoes flying far Ger lake
and wood and stream.
And forth from busy mart and mill, and
many fruited farm,
The people poured into the street at sound
of the alarm;
And there were faces all aglow with
wonder and surprise,
And there were eager questionings, and
quick and glad replies.
And though some hearts must bleed afresh
and eyes anew must weep
Der loved ones whom the stormy waves
had rocked to dreamless sleep.
Yet for the few who came again were
shoutines loud and long.
As one tumultuous wave of joy swept
through the restless thrOng.
And that fond mother too was there, and
there her darling boy.
And oh. what language can portray the
rapture of her joy!
The bliss unspeakable with which she
drew him to her breast,
With all the longings of her heart in
sweet embrace found rest.
Father" she said, with tear r-dimmed eyes
upturned to heaven above,
To Him who o'er his own lost ones yearns
with dsathless love,

"THE LAW Is A ASS" b"

Judge Webb has stirred up hor-
nets nest here by stating in open
court that the practice for many
years in vogue iii Mecklenbnrg Of
sending prisoners from the city court
and magistrates courts to the roads
to work ont fines was not good law.
Often n fine of twenty-five dollars lm-
posed by the Recorder has to be work
ed out requiring one hundred days.
while the courts authority to i'm
prison or sentence to the roads IS
limited to thirty days. 1t is prob
able that the matter will be investi-
gated, and that hereafter there will
be no more prisoners working on the
roads fifty and one hundred days in
lieu of a fine. A legal limit to such
cases is understood to be thirty days,
twenty Imprisonment, when notice is
filed that the defendant is unable to
pay q ten or twenty-five dollar fine,
and isnot worth that amount then he
shall be- released at the end OF thirty

A Centre Shot.

Norfolk Eirgnian-PilOt.
Mr.. Pou, of North Carolina, deliv-
cred a notable speech in the House
of Representatives. Oh Tuesday last.
1t bristled with points Under which
the majority squirmed, and the Re-
publican members who eSSayed reply
for the most part evaded entirely the
thrusts which had drawn the most
blood. one OF these was indeed so
truly aimed and SO sharply dri7en
home as to defy parry or return.
The recent message of the Presi-
dent" declared Mr.. POu, ''was from
beginning to end Il scathing indict
mcnt OF the Republican party"
The sting OF this scathing criticism
lies in its absolute and self-evident
truth. Mr. ROosevelt's 5 own party is
responsible for every i'll which he
scores SO unmercifully; responsible
for the bad legislation which made
possible the growth OF those ills: re-
spOnsible for the dishonest legislation
which the party enacted i'll exchange
for campaign contributions from the
benefciaries and that law adminis-
tration under which greed and cor
ruption, through cOnniyance of the
Government agencies, Wrested to
their own advantage the few laws
they did not openly violate
Admit, for the sake Of argument,
that Mr.. Roosevelt h rs not over
drawn the condition OF affairs, that
eXtOratiOn and robbery exist to the
extent which he depicts, that large
classes of our citizenship deserve the
reprohatiOn which he hurls ut them,
that nothing but heroic remedies
will avert general disaster. Even so
the questions recur with fatal perti-
nencp. who brought about all this
sea OF troubles. who protited by the
rising tide, who refused to build
dykes to save the land from overflow,
who even now dallieS with the danger
and withhOlds honest effort to avert?
There is but one answer. Every
stroke which he President has direct
ed at 'predatOry wealth, rObber
trusts, outlaw corporations, business
malefactOrs" falls like a pitiless lash
on the bare back of the Republican
party. And that is exactly where it
belongs.

LYDIA E. PINKHHM

Nature and a woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for Woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
OF the world remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for WOman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of SIS NC. St.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
complete restoration to health
means SO much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women am willing
to make nay troubles public
"For twelve years l had been suffer.
ing with the worst forms Of female ills.
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times J
could hardly walk. About two years
ago l wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. It is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-.
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
twill do for other suffering women.

Extreme and Perilous.
Norfolk Virginian-Pilot,

Norfolk N1rginlan-PllOt,
''When it is a matter OF common re-
port and on complaint on oath OF two
or more reputable citizens that there is
reasonable cause to believe that the pro-
visions OF this act as to illicit sales OF
ardent spirits are being violated, the
Justice to whom complaint is made shall
issue a warrant to search specified places
for ardent spirits in the possession OF
any person or at any place for the pur-
pose of illegal sale, and when more than
two gallons OF such ardent spirits shall
be found, the burden shall be upon the
owner TO prove that it is not for the
purpose OF sale
This is one of the two unspeakably
bad clauses in the Byrd-Mann Liquor
Bill now before the Virginia Senate.
The other is the provision making
prohibition compulsory in towns OF
less than five hundred inhabitants
without consulting the will OF the
voters. But the above is even less
Democratic and more subversive OF
the principles OF free Government.
1t will establish a dOmiciliary in
quisition contrary to all correct
theories OF the rights OF the citizen.
1t would place the individual at the
mercy of malicious or fanatical
neiglbOrs and an ignorant or COM
plant 1nagistrdcy. 1t would tear
down the sancity OF home and open
that which should be a mans castle
to the prying malignancy OF med
ding zealOts. 1t would repudiate
and reverse principle OF law as
venerable as English civilization and
substitute for it rule repugnant to
every dictate of reason and Justice.
1t is time to call q halt on this sort
OF politico-p -philanthropic crusade.
The leaders are going to extremes
which are making reform ridiculous
and will end in making it obnoxious
to the great body of people. Senator
Parks succeeded on Thursday in
striking from the bill the language
requiring the suspected person to
prove his own innocence, but this
was accomplished by majority of
only one and there is extreme danger
that under the pressure of misguided
extremists and ambitious dema-
gogues that wholesome step will be
retraced. The protest must come
now Virginians will awake too late
to realize that they have superad-
ded greater evils to those now exist

To Tobacco Growers.
Virginia and Carolina Planters
Called to Meet March II.

Danville, Va, Feb. 24.-The follow
ing circular has been issued by the
Tobacco Growers Protective AssOcia-
ton of Virginia, through II. 0. Chair
man addressed to the tobacco grow
ers "f Virginia and North Carolina:
The board of directors Of the Bright
Tobacco Growers Association believe
that the interest of the tobacco business
will be advanced by careful review of the
past and present conditions. Some four
years ago when ruin faced the tobacco
growers, when the average price was
less than six cents the farmers in Virgin
la and North Carolina met in the city of
Danville and organized the association
This association has persistently made
just claims which if backed up by the
producers would place the producers in
a position where they could demand
and protect their rights. We claim that
every farmer and every legitimate busi-
ness has been benefited by the small
amount of work that has been done
We believe that had the farmers contin-
ued their old policy of making all the to-
bacco they could, and delivering it to
the trust at $6 and less, without any
protest in the shape Of public meetings
and organizations. that there would
have been very little if any advance in
prices We further believe that a large
majority OF the farmers realize what has
been done to make the movement a
thorough success. We urge all farmers
to meet with us in Danville, March II,
1908, at which time we propose to
adopt more systematic measures for
pushing the work. We have sold about
ninety per cent. of the reordered tobacco
and settlement will be made on the
above date. We also urge farmers to
bring in their tobacco to the association
as soon as possible that it may be ham

Deafness Cannot BE- Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the disea sed portion of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an ln1amed condition OF the mucous lining
OF the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when itisentirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the infiam-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever: nine cases out OF ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an infamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
