tells the time to the inhabitants of
little American backwoods town. The
machinery, which is nothing but
face, hands ann lever, is connected
with a geyser which shoots out an i'm

thirty-eight seconds. This spouting
never varies to the tenth part Of a
second. Every time the water spouts
up 1t strikes the lever and moves the
hands forward thirty-eight seconds.

"PRoHIBTTIoN does not prohibit and
you will always find that there is more
liquor drank in prohibition districts
than there was before it became en-
forced" This was the startling state
ment made by the Rev. Henry Colman
of Simpson Methodist Episcopal church
of Milwaukee, who addressed the con
gregation of the Asbury Methodist
church recently in the absence of the
regular pastor. The statement caused a
great deal Of surprise, coming as it did
from Mr.. Colman who is one of the
founders of the Milwaukee Anti-Saloon
leagues, and an ardent supporter of the
organization. This we clip from an
Evansville paper, published in a town
that is being featured as model tenn

A Remarkable Cure.

The following statement appeared in
the editorial column of a recent issue
of THE Christian Work and Evangel-
ist," one of the oldest and most impor-
tant religious publications in the coun-
try:
1.-The Christian Work and EvangeI-
list seldom speaks of a curative or
remedial agent, and for the reason that
many of the so-called remedies and
preventatives are not what they pro-
fess to be.
There is one of the agencies, how
ever, that we can recommend from our
own experience, and that is the almost
universally used remedy for pulmonary
omplaints-Scott's Emulsion of Cod
Liver Oil.
while it is a pretty well established
fact that no known remedy will cure
cases of very long standing. where the
lungs have been largely or almost COM
pletely destroyed, yet while there is
life there is hope, and SCOTS Emulsion
has wrought many wonderful results.
Mr.. La Sale A. Maynard, the we'll
known assistant editor of this paper
had his life prolonged several years by
its use, and there is every reason to
believe that if he had known of it in
time and used it earlier he would have
entirely recovered.
Moreover, two brothers of the writer
have experienced wonderful benefit
from its use, and where nothing else
seemed to reach their case"

Thy wisdom and thy courage true,
Thy constancy to prove anew.
For thou didst beat safe retreat
And victory plan from thy defeat.
For ere that memorable year should

Thou wouldst in battle with thy foes
Drive back the Hessians from their

And all the hateful, hireling band.
For this was Freedoms Calvary,
Named after him that faltered. Lee.
AS once they all forsook and fled
From Him who for our souls hath bled.
No blood was split upon that day
But hearts blood for a cause that lay

mo great goods gained without great
pain,
This is the story told again
BY all the history of the past
1.-The truth shall make you free at
last
The Christ once said to you and me,
Yet twas the Son that made us free.
Had He not on the sacred tree,
Poured out His life that men might see
How much that truths defence had
cost,
Then, one and ALL we had been lost
In darkness and the slavery
OF ignorance and depravity.
We had not learned the love of truth,
So needful to the mind of youth,
Or, to obey it not disposed
The door of hope had thus been closed.
And so, but for our Washington
Had tyrant and the savage won
Then men had lain supinely back,
Anew had stretched them on the rack,
A thousand years had come and gone
Ere man achieved what then was done.

AS for the celebration in honor of
the unwilling of the Fort Lee monu-
ment, it was brilliant
a Memorable success and one entire
end Creoitable ly worthy. The quaint
Parade. little town certainly
aWoke from it's long
slumbers and put on new raiment all
over. Not only was the condition of
the town q surprise, but the general
appearance of homes streets and deco
rations as creditable as one would
wish to see. The residents deserve all
honor for all they did to make the
dedication a success, and if anything
was left undone for the appearance of
things, or for looks, or for the COM
fort of guests, it was not apparent. One
had to express surprise and feel proud
of Fort Lee at the same time. There
wasn't a single thing in the ceremonies
that one could cavil at and as for
hospitality, it was spread on thick. The
visiting firemen and soldiers were
given welcome and refreshments that
came out on big tables in bottles, kegs
and substantials. Now, when a COM
munity does all of that, and does it
right, one has perforce to take off
ones hat and bow to Fort Lee Once
one of the Abbott brothers told me
Fort Lee was mighty full of good old
fashioned, honest people, and now /
am prepared to believe it. The open
gates there September 26 was a big
card for Fort Lee, and that She-had
her face washed and clean clothes on
made the stranger sit up and think
that Fort Lee was no SLOUGH, after ALL
1t is so much better and broader than
most people knew about, that if the
residents up there know what they
are about, they will at once set about
the task of reaping a great big pile of
bration-as worthy an affair as ever
graced an American town-and that's
no josh.
Fort Lee somehow never made
much of, an appeal to me. 1 always re-
garded it as a place
New Aspirations without much spirit,
OF Fort Lee. except in her sa-
looms, and never had
much hope for it, But Fort Lee has
taken on new hopes, new aspirations.
and appears to have some chance now
to be place a shade more than a
mere speck on the map. Instead of a
1stless town it proves to be a very
human place. What James Abbott had
told me as mentioned above had made
an impression, but | didn't think it
could be so. That was in the
earlier stages of Palisade. We were
new here then, and because Fort Lee
didn't shape up alongside of our ten
der, new little village, just concluded
that 1t wasn't much, anyhow. But this
estimate didn't have sense nor Justice
to it. 1t was dead wrong.

Without the camp thou stoodst that
And saw thy forces fall away,

In battle fair upon the hill
Or in the vale. For mount or plain
Must see thee final victory gain.

ROOSEVELT pROCLAIMS
TAFT AS HIS ONLY
CHOICE.

The true friend Of reform, the
true foe Of abuses, 10 the man
who steadily perseveres in right
ing wrongs, in warning against
abuses, but whose character and
training are such that he never
promises what he cannot per-
form. that he always a little
more than makes good what he
does promise, and that, while
steadily advancing. he never per-
mits himself to be led into foolish
excuses which would damage the
very aus he champions. In Mr..
Taft we have a man who com
bines all Of these qualities to q
degree which no other man In
Il public life since the Civil
War has surpassed.
There Is no fight for decency
and fair dealing which I have
waged in which I have not had
hAc col liz LuOSI CI1cCllNC
sympathy and support. and the
policies for which l stand are his
policies as much as mine.
II there Is one body Of men
more than another whose support
l feel l have a right to challenge
on behalf Of Secretary Taft 1t is
the body Of wageworkers Of the
country. A stancher friend, a
fairer and truer representative,
they cannot find within the Dor
ders Of the United States. He
will do everything in his power
for them except to do that which
is wrong; he will do wrong for
no man, and therefore can be
trusted by all men.

many occasions and should be account
ed as an asset Of the highest value to
the government in the accomplishment
Of its colossal task"
Taft Raises Wages.
On May l, 1907, as Secretary Of War,
Mr.. Taft issued a longevity order max
ing liberal and appreciate increase in
the wages Of various classes Of work
men. as follows:
IAN employees not native to the trop-
les who occupy the positions herein
designated shall De granted the follow
ing increases in pay for length Of con-
tinuous service on the Isthmus: Five
| per cent of the basic or class rate for
the second year, with accumulative ad-
dition of three per cent of the basic
rate for each subsequent year; pro-
vided. however, that such cumulative
increase shall not exceed a total of 25c
Of the basic rate"
In other words. Mr.. Taft made 1t
possible for every American laborer on
tiS A. ~ lASAS oAA
working. to increase his wage 25 per
cent and at the same time have a per-
| manent position. These men also get
four weeks vacation with pay, every
year and Mr.. Taft favors making the
vacation six weeks with pay.
Change Would Be Disastrous.
In the performance Of this work the
United States is under the scrutiny Of
the entire world, especially of our
neighbours In Central and South Amer
lea, before whom W. must make good
our profession Of high social and in
dustrial ideals. 1t would be a national
calamity to jeopardize the present lib
eral progressive policy that is 80 sue

nal. Mr.. Taft Is the n a to con-
tinue this great work to the end.
