WANTS A FREE PRESS.
Tillman Issues Statement on the
Canal Libel Cases.

Washington, Jan. 22.-Declaring
that mo patriot can contemplate with
great alarm the possibility OF the
presidents success" in the Panama
libel cases, now being investigated by
the grand jury in this city, and in
New York, Senator llllman, of South
Carolina, in statement tonight.
sounded a strong note of warning on
the question of the freedom of the
American press. The statement is
as follows:
The issue is a momentous one.
Jefferson declared that as between a
government without newspapers and
newspapers without a government ne
would choose the latter, because
when properly Informed the people
would protect themselves even with
out a government through the instru-
mentality of opinion. A free press
can alone preserve free institutions.
Our great danger now lies in the con-
troll of the press and it's consequent
subserviency to those who use it to
deceive the people and perpetuate
their grasp upon power. The Ameri-
can people cannot guard too jealousy
the right of freedom of speech, and
freedom to print whatever is in the
public interest. The newspapers now
under the fire for their efforts to ex-
pose corruption in high places should
have the active support of every true
Anoorican for their cause is the
cause of us ALL"

A compulsory education law has
been introduced in the legislature.
The general assembly could do no
better service to the State than to
pass it. If the white people are going
to continue to control the politics and
morals of the South in generations to
come, as we see it, there must be a
compulsory education law and it must
be enforced. 1t must come soon, too,
the quicker the better.

Three Weddings to Three Thousand
Girls

In the February Woman's Home
Companion Mrs. Anna Steese Rich
ardson shows conclusively that sue
cessful working girls do not marry.
Her conclusion has been reached al
ter fifteen years of Intimate contact
with working women, and after a
very careful analysis of conditions.
One investigation was in depart
ment store employing three thousand
girls. Mrs. Richardson asked the
welfare secretary at the store how
many girls had resigned to marry the
past year. She bit her pencil and
thought few minutes.
"Three," she announced finally.
Three girls out of three thousand
married in a year! That store is no
haunt for Cupid, evidently.
"Well, what in the world do your
girls do?" l demanded.
do? Why, we have the smartest
girls in the country in this store. Do?
Why, didn't you hear about Miss
Blanks being made buyer for the un-
derwear when Mr.. Jones died? And
YOU know Miss Smith is now head OF
the - store in Pittsburg. She
is getting five hundred more a year
out there. You remember that girl
with the gray eyes who used to help
me-Miss G.-well, she has taken a
course in philanthropy and is now
charity investigator
The welfare secretary was waxing
truly enthusiastic. You see, our
girls do things
Everything except marry. Why
don't they marry?"
because they don't want to,
snapped the secretary. ANY man
would be glad to get one of them, of
course"

Some people in town are afraid
for their children to go around on
the streets, as it is reported that all
of the dogs bitten by mad dogs re-
Gently have not been killed. The au-
thorities should see to it that all dogs
bitten by supposed mad dogs are
killed. If mistake is made it is

all suspected dogs killed. We can
spare dogs a great deal better than
we can children.

this sort of thing keep up for twenty
years and those people who are now

will see what terrible mistake they
are making.

SY Y is mixing metaphors little to say that "Thc House Next Door" M has made hit in New York,
 But 1t is fact that John F. DOd- son in this play at the Gaicty thcater has won more praise than has been ac- corded any production of the kind in some time. The reason seems to con sist partly in the circumstance that the play. which is by J. Hartley Man. ncrS, possesses genuine merit and teaches some lessons that need to be learned and taken to heart. The theme Is racial animoSity- the prejudice be- tween Jew and gcntile-and the claim
 is made that the aim of the production Is entertainment pure and simple. However that may be. the effect of the drama is an appeal and a very corcibIc one, too. in favor of fair play Is between the races, deeply col pred by race or religious prejudice
 The story turns on the complications resulting from the CotSwolls and the Jarobsors becoming next door neigh bors ST John Cotswold is an aged English barouct whose pride in his an ,cstry is only cqualcd by his ignorance of how Co sustain the family prcten- SiouS. In consequence of his being so much more of am adept at spending money than making it his family be- come impoverished, his estate is mort gagged. and finally he has to pay rent for it to the Jew who has acquired it and who adds insult to injury, in the view of Sir John, by establishing him self and family in house next door,
 Tho rent gets long overdue, and Sir John is only enabled to pay 1t by the help or his son. who has won success in opera and who. it develops. has been enabled to obtain his musical cd Icatiou through the generosity of this same GcsDisCd Jacobson. To cap the climax the Liberal govc"nmcnt-Sr John is a Conservative, of course makes Jacobson a b0roUct, too. in rec 1cultioa of his philanthropy and pub lie service. Sir John writes to the Times Co protest that everything in the country will soon be owned by the Jews and insinuatiug thgt the title won hT Jacobson is bought and bought

WHAT THE KIONEYS-DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
 Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every thrc minutes. The kidneys filter the blood They work nigt and day. When healthy they remove about 500 grains of impure matter daily, when un- healthy some part of this impure mat ter is left in the blood. This brings on many diseases and symptoms pain in the back, headache, nervous ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout, gravel, disorders of the eycsight and hearing, dizziness irregular heart debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But if you keep the filters right you will have no trouble with your kidneys.

Hawkins, GG9 Ycsler Way, Seattle, Wash, says: Tt gives me pleasure to confirm the statement l gave for publication some years ago in favor of Doans Kidney Fills as the relief I obtained from their use has proven permanent. 1 suffered from an acute attack of kidney uou- tIe and though l used remedy after remedy, l was unable to find relief l had the most severe pains across the small of my back and was also annoyed by irregular passages of the kidney secretions.
