the baseness Of the saloon and its degrading in
fuence upon those who like the Champion of Fair
Play, are its advocates and the willingness of its
advocates to drag down to its level the honored
name OF Lincoln in the hope that thereby the
loon may be continued in its degrading work.
The fact that Lincolns convictions as to the use
of liquor were so strong, and abstinence from
them much the habit of his life, that he was
not conscious of temptation to drink, illus
trated in the incident that occurred when the COM
mittee appointed by the Republican national
vention in 1850 waited upon him at Springfield
to notify him of his nomination for the presi-
dency. Several newspaper men of the day. among
them Mr.. Charles Carlton Coffin, author of
Life of Lincoln united in the statement that
citizens of the city of Springfield, knowing the
total abstinence habit of Mr.. Lincoln and that he
would have no liquor in his house, called upon
him and suggested that they be permitted to pro-
vide wine or other liquors Mr. Lincoln declined
saying that he could not allow others to do what
he would not do himself.
Mr. Carpenter, the painter of the magnificent
picture representing the signing of the Emancipa
ton Proclamation, gives in his volume entitled
"Six Months in the White House" the story of
ceremonies connected with the business of the
committee on notification had passed Mr.. Lincoln,
says the writer, remarked that as an appropriate
conclusion to an interview so important and in
teresting he supposed good manners would require
that he should furnish the committee something to
drink; and opening door he called out, MARY!
Mary!' A girl responded to the call, to whom
Mr.. Lincoln spoke in undertone. In a few
minutes the maid entered bearing large tray
tanning several glass tumblers and large pitcher
and placed it upon the center table. Mr.. Lincoln
then arose, and, gravey addressing the distin-
guished gentlemen, said: Gentlemen, we must
pledge. our mutual healths in the most healthy
beverage God has given to man. 1t is the only
beverage I have ever used or ever allowed in my
family, and [ cannot conscientiously depart from
it on the present occasion; it is pure Adams ale
from the spring." And, taking tunbler he
touched it to his lips and pledged them his highest
respect in a cup of cold water
The Champion of Fair Play bases its assertion
that Mr.. Lincoln was "can rusher" on the
reputed story that during the battle of Shiloh
Mr.. Lincoln, late in the evening, visited the office
of the telegraph operator of the Washington Post
and found the operator RECALLING himself by drink
ing beer out of can. Lincoln is reported to have
said "What have you there?" pointing to where
the can was hidden "Only some beer, Mr.. Presi-
dent" said the abashed man. Let me look at it,"
Mr.. Lincoln is reported to have SAID and being
handed the half-emptied can proceeded to drink
the remainder of the beer, and with a smack of
his lips reached down in his pocket for quarter,
called the office bow and instructed him to go

the liquor men saved one saloon town in each of
II other counties, while in some dozen additional
counties they saved two towns. The big cities
were carried by the sellers with the excep-

tcally all of the dry counties are south of Bloom

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they can
lot reach the diseased portion of thu
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have
q rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely close1,
Deafness is the result, and unless
the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to It's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which Is nothing
but an inf1amed condition of thu
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured By

EXTENSION OF AMERICAN MAR.
KETS.

A pamphlet on Reciprocal Trade"
written by Harold M. Pitt, of Ma
Mia, and recently distributed by the
publicity committees of the Manila
Merchants association, is primaril-
ly an argument for free trade with
the Philippines, but contains some
excellent recommendations for in
creasing American trade in the
Orient. Mr.. Pitt believes American
manufacturers would find 1t greatly
to their interests to carry perma-
nent stocks in Manila, making it a
distributing point with Chan, Siam,
Borneo, Java, Sumatra and other To-
calities, Just as England now uses
Hongkong as a distributing point.
China, of course, furnishes the
largest market, and Mr.. Pitt calls at
tention to the fact that because of
its size and it's capacity for develop
ment it offers the best example of
the increased possibilities for Ameri-
can commerce. III THAI phlI VI 'hS

center.
There is no longer any doubt as
to our duties regarding the Philip
pines and the advantages of our po-
sition there. But the greater prob
lens are to be solved, and American
energy will solve them. And as
this country profits in material
way, so the Philippines will profit IN

point Of educational advancement.

before the days of American occu-
patton.

A BANK CHECK ON BANKS.

In San Francisco the Clearing
House association is about to put in
effect new regulation calculated to
protect the banker and the public
against questionable and dishonest
methods in the conduct of banking
business. The plan adopted and
now being worked out in detail is
.lor the association to employ
bank examiner who shall have au-
thority to examine the books of any
bank that enjoys Clearing House
privileges, whether it is member
Of the association or not, The ex-
animation may be made at any time
upon demand, and the bank that re-
fuses to submit is outlawed, so far
as its connection with the Clearing
House association is concerned.
The idea originated in Chicago
few months ago and the plan Is now
in practical operation in that city,
Pittsburg and a number of other
eastern cities, also in Los Angeles
end San Francisco.
This plan is quite in line with
what The Telegram has urged re-
peatedly namely, that the bankers
have within their power and owe
IL to themselves to institute super
vision that will discourage the care
less and the crooked banker.
There Is no business so sensitive
to a defect anywhere along the line
as the banking business. The hon
est bank Is easily COMPOUNDED by
the triekery of the dishonest bank,
and the careful and we'll managed
inst sutton is made to suffer for the
mistakes of the careless and incom-
petent banker, and for these reasons
the circle of evil effect for which the
honest and competent banker Is moi
responsible widens, and the public
suffers great loss.
This clearing house inspection
plan looks good. 1t bears the STAMP
of effectiveness, and from all reports
has proved to be effective in those
cities where 1t is in use. There II
no reason why 1t should not serve
the purpose for which it is INTENDED
TO serve. There is no good reason
why it should not be generally ad
opted. Bankers themselves should
be the first to advocate 1t as protec
ton against the abuses mentioned
and as against the mushroom bank
