News come that the Chinese
Government is erecting a school
building in San Francisco to teach
the Chinese language. The in
formation cannot be reliable, for
there is no Chinese language.
There are hundreds of unrelated
dialects and there is the mandari-
nate language that the Literary
class, as it is called, uses in con-
veying its antiquated ideas, but
the educated Chinaman, as dis
tinguished from the literary
Chinaman, speaks English,
French or German 40 the case
may be and the sooner China puts
herself en- rapport with the age by
the acquisition Of the English
language, the sooner she will be
and understood.

What The Kidneys Do.
Their Uneasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every
three minutes. The kidneys filter
the blood. They work night and day.
When healthy they remove about 500
grains of impure matter daily, when
unhealthy some part of this impure
matter is left in the blood. This
brings on many diseases and symp.
toms pain in the back, headache,
nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheuma-
tism, govt, gravel, disorders of the
hearing and eyesight, dizziness, ir.
regular heart, debility, drowsiness,
dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc.
But if you keep the filters right you
will have no trouble with your kidneys.
Capt. J. T. Baldwin, living on
Iberia Ave, Franklin, La, says: 81
heartily recommend Doan's Kidney
Pills as their use in my case proved
them to be a genuine kidney remedy.
On account of the lameness and pains
in my back, especially through the
region of the kidneys, | had great diff
ficulty in arising after lying down. If
| brought the least strain on the
muscles of my loins, l would suffer in
tensely as result. The kidney secre-
tions showed signs of disorder being
high colored and very irregular in
action. Coming to the conclusion
that my kidneys were at fault, and the
cause of all my trouble, l resolved to
try Doan's Kidney Pills as | had
heard them highly spoken of procur-
ed them at S. J. Gates & Co.'s drug
store, and they gave entire satisfac-
ton. Doan's Kidney Pills not only
rid me of all distress caused from nv
kidneys but seemed to act as a tonic to
my system, and improved my general
health"

If q man must serve his time at
every trade and his efficiency has
come relation to the time of his
service, then the late Secretary of
of the Treasury, George Bruce
Cortelycu, should be the best
equipped executive officer in the
United States, not excepting the
President and the ex-President.
He has served twenty years un-
der the Government and in Wash.
ington. He began as q Depart
mental clerk, served as secretary
under three presidents, Cleveland,
Mckinley and Roosevelt, and
afterwards held three cabinet
portfolios, ending with the Secre-
taryship of the Treasury, varying
his experience as chairman of the
Republican Presidential Cam
paign Committee in 1904.

The Interoceanic Canal pro-
position at Panama is apparently
again settled and the lock type OF
Canal is the one adopted, favored
by the President, the President
elect, the distinguished engineers
who accompanied Mr.. Taft thlther
and the Congressional group that
has recently returned from
Panama. The party that accom-
panied Mr.. Joseph Pulitzer, editor
OF the New York World, has not
y ct been heard from but the fact
that the lock type of Canal can be
built in half the time and at a
trifle less cost (about forty millions
OF dollars), that it will afford
between the terminal of the
canal wide sweet water lake
in which the salt soaked vessels
can anchor and be scraped and
where the largest ships can
easily pass each other are argu-
ments largely in favor of the plan
adopted. The building of the
Canal has been put of too long.
If it is to be done it were we'll that
it be done quickly. The Pacific
coast is clamoring for big fleet
as a picket line between San
Francisco, Seattle and Los Angeles
on this side and Yokohama, Toxic
and Osaka on the other side. 1t
will be much more economical to
shift our fleet from our Atlantic
coast to our Pacific border or vice
versa when necessary than to
keep up big naval establishments
on both our Eastern and our
Western liberals.

The quadrennial Inauguration
of president of the United
States is the greatest gala event
of the nation and by accident or
otherwise, it was fixed a century
ago at the fourth of March, a
season and a date which has
proved the most boisterous and
disagreeable of the entire year.
The last fourth of March was per-
haps the most disagreeable in the
century and it has emphasized the
necessity of change to more
propitious season. The press OF
the country at this moment is al
most unanimous for a change. A
majority of Congress favors such
a change, but the Constitution of
the United States is very diff
ficult document to deal with. If
it involved merely an extension
of the term of Office of the Presi-
dent from March to May, the
amendment of the Constitution
would be simple, but the Con-
stitution contemplates that both
the legislative and executive
departments shall be organized
on the same day. The Constitu-
ton became operative on the first
Wednesday of March, 1889. The
President was elected for four
years, representatives for two
years, and senators for six years.
All terms date from and expire on
the fourth day of March. To
change the Presidential term and
not the others, bringing in a new
Congress for the last two months
of the expiring administration,
would throw the whole system out
of whack. A bill should be enact
ed making the Congressional term
begin in December, thus enabling
a new Congress to meet soon after
it is elected instead of allowing
the old one to hold over for an
other session. This also would
require an amendment to the Con-
stitution, for while Congress can
fix the time of its own sessions, it
cannot change the term for which
it's members are elected.

The building of the new Congrega
tional chl1rch has been an rlu4eualiV
successful enterprise and plans are
now being made to dedicate on Oc
tober "a, with two elaborate ser
vices Prominent speakers from
out of the city will be on the program
while a choir of about thirty voices
will contribute the music. All the de-
tails of the occasion will be an
nounced later.
Contrary to the general impression
the building will be completed in Oc-
tober, which means that it has taken
less than six months to erect this
church. The weather has been eX-
ceptionally favorable and there have
been no delays in securing material.
The contractors have pushed the
work and there was no conflict in the
arrangements.
Another feature deserving mention
is the comparatively low cost at
which the building was erected. The
total outlay including all fixtures,
pews, lighting, ETC., will not exceed
$4,000. 1t is to be regretted that the
new two manual pipe organ which rep
resents an expenditure of over $4,000
will not be in place on dedication
day and will not arrive until about
Christmas time. However. a fine
two-manual pipe organ will be install
ed temporarily by the Kimball Organ
company at once and will be used at
the dedication All the windows
with the possible exception of the
largest will be installed next week. 1t
is hoped that these windows, made
of the finest Tiffany or drapery glass.
will prove one of the features of the
edifice. The pews are all of oak with
quarter sawed ends. A new pulpit
donated by the Wilder family is a
beautiful piece of furniture and to-
gether with a new American Revised
bible will harmonize with the sur
roundings.
All who have seen the tintlng OF
the walls and the woodwork stain are
delighted with the color harmony that
has been secured. 1t is certain that
everything has been done to make
this new church homelike and rest
full as well as thoroughly modern in
all it's equipment.

Give the People Enough

An action has been commenced
in the supreme court with A. b.
VanAlstine as plaintiff, to have the
primary election law declared un-
constitutional, for reasons set forth
in the petition. The editor of the
Leader has opposed the law, re-
garding it as a fraud and humbug,
enacting for the purpose of further
ing the ends of an individual and
making it impossible for major
ity of the electorate to elect men OF
their choice through the party ma
chinery to office. But the electors
of the state voted for the law after
it had been passed by the leglsla-
ture and endorsed by both the re-
publican and democratic parties IN
the state, it should remain in force
until the people have had enough
of the law and ask through the
proper channel for its repeal. 1t IS
law we'll calculated for the man
ipulation of the bosses and under
It's provisions money is all power
full and the poor but honest man
hasn't a ghost of show. 1t makes
money the sole arbiter in securing
recognition and political prefer
ment, but the people who had lis
tened to the siren song of the dem
agogues wanted it, and when they
have gained sense from experience,
they will probably ask that it be
stricken from off of the state stat

Goodbye, But Not Farewell

Frank M. Eaton and family de-
parted yesterday morning tor
Eugene, Oregon, where they will
make their home in the future. Mr..
and Mrs. Eaton have been residents
of Watertown for many years and
IT was here that their children were
born and resided; and their depar-
ture is regretted by large number
of friends who appreciated their
worth as citizens and members OF
society. Mr.. Eaton in years gone
by, was an active and influential
member Of our fire department and
for a number of years school COM
missioner for his ward rendering
efficient and conscientious service
f.eeiy for his city and always work
ing for the best interest of the NUM-
cipalty. Direct in speech but al
ways pleasant, one who could give
and take a joke and make life
pleasant for all with whom he came
in contact and will be missed and
it can be truthfully said that the
removal of the family from Water
town is a loss which will be a gain
for Eugene.
Mr.. Eaton was elected president
of the State Bottler's association
last March at the annual meeting
held in Milwaukee and had an eX-
tensive acquaintance in the state.

A Mean Act

Yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Will
liam Schroeder, No. Coz North
Church street, who had thirty beau
tiful Pekin ducks, went out to her
barn and made the discovery that
twelve of them were dead, having
been poisoned by some miscreant
who deserves to be horsewhlpped
and made to pay for the ducks.
That they were poisoned, was the
opinion of a veterinary surgeon
who was called to examine the
ducks. 1t does not seem possible
that we have anybody in this city
so mean as to do such a mean act.
