RooseveIt's True Worth.

The Greeks were wise in their
philosophy that no man should be
called entirely happy until he was
wholly dead. 1t will be Mr.. Roose'
velt's fault, and almost exclusively his
fault, If those who have perhaps too
hastily concluded that history would
call his administration great should
be compelled to revise their opinion.
A miserable ending in strife and broil,
where the language Of insult is used
upon one side provoking stern rebukes
from the other, would SO becloud Mr..
R~oosevelt's administration that its
unpleasant final months would hold
in many minds a larger place than all
the achievements that had gone be-
fore. The country is certainly inter
ested in the quarrel, but 1t is not edi-
fed. 1t is shameful, it is well-nigh as
undignifed as a street fight between
reputable men, it is regretted and de-
plored by every American who dis
likes to see the reputation of his coun-
try furnished. 1t is fervently to be
hoped that M. Roosevelt will make at
least private admission of his errors
and ~offenses, and refrain from further
p~rovocations.

QAc
4guIlh
Question

"Do you know of any woman who ever received any
benefit from taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound?"
If any woman who is suffering with any ailment peculiar
to her sex will ask her ~neighbors this question, she will be
surprised at the result. There is hardly a community in
this country where women cannot be found who have been
restored to health by this famous old remedy, made
exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herbs.
During the past 80 years we have published thousands
of letters from these grateful women who have been cured
by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and never
in all that time have we published a testimonial without
the writer's special permission. Never have we knowingly
published a testimonial that was not truthful and genuine.
Here is one Just received a few days ago. If anyone doubts
that this is a true and honest statemento of a womanS expert
ence with Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound write
and ask her.
Houston, Texas.-"w When I first began taking Lydia f. Pink
sick for three years with female troubles, chronic dyspepsia,
and a liver trouble. had tried several doctors medicines, but
nothing did me any good.
"For three years L lived on medicines and thought / would
never get well, when L read an advertisement of Lydia K. Pink"
hams Vegetable Compound, and was advised to try it..
"My husband got me one bottle of the Compound, and it did
me so much good 4 continued it's use. L am now a well woman
and enjoy the best Of health.
CT advise all women suffering from such troubles to give
regret it, for it will surely cure you"-Mrs. Bessie L. Hicks,
$40 Cleveland ST., Houston.
ANY woman who is sick and suffering is foolish surely
not to give such a medicine as this a trial. Why should it
not do her as much good as it did Mrs. Hicks.

rhe Auctioneer,s HourqIass,

An auctioneer of Philadelphia col
lects all sorts of objects pertaining
to his ancient calling. He has, among
other things, an interesting set of auc-
t%ioneer's hourglasses.
The a%uctioneer, a century or so ago,
concluded a sale, not by saying Go
ing-going-gone!" and rapping the
counter with his hammer, but 1t was
his better method to turn up a free
running glass toward the end of the
bidding, and to end the sale irrevoca-
bly, when the sands ran out. This
saved confusion and dispute.
The auctioneer's glasses in the
Philadelphia collection are pictur'
esque. One is of tortoise shell and
mother of pearl. Another is Of amber
and gold. A third is of teak and
ivory.

$500, 10000 FOR THE CANAL
Cost Of Panama Cutting Worth Con-
sideration by Taxpayers.

Some time ago, in view Of certain
information in its possession, the
Journal warned it's readers that the
estimated cost of the Panama canal
would be raised to half a billion dol
lars; that the lock canal would be
abandoned in favor of a sea-level ca
nal, and that eventually the present
route would probably be abandoned al
together.
Therefore they will not be surprised
to read in this mornings Tribune, the
personal organ of Mr.. Roosevelt n
Judge Taft, that "the country is to
be treated to a few little surprises as
to the real nature and cost OF the
governments undertaking, in joining
the two big oceans"
The Tribune quite naturally takes a
very personal interest in the canal.
Therefore it presents in the best pos
sIble light the fact that our W Sen
ator Hopkins has introduced a bill to
make the cost limit $500, 100000. The
original appropriation of $4,000 900
has all been expended, and the work
is not one-third done. The people OF
| the United States are asked for $SO5,'
| 600, 600 more for a lock canal, and
there is no assurance that even that
vast sum will cover the cost.
AS the Journal foretold, the next
step will be the announcement, after
Judge Taft and his six engineers
make their inspection, that the LOCK
canal is unfeasible and we must have
a sea-level ditch. On the basis of ex
p~erience, the government may spenc
81, 900, 900, 600 on that before aban
doning it in favor of some more prac
teal route.
The canal DOGGY is very real. The
pooh Pooh" attitude of certain time
serving newspapers will no longer dc
ceive the people. One of these day.

Panama deal from first to last VII

EXTRAORDINARY INCREASE IN
FARM LANDS,
SOUTHERN ALBERTA Is !
MIGHTY GOOD COUNTRY"

No stronger or better evidence can
be given Of the merits of a country
than that which comes from the testi-
mony of the settler who has deter
mined to succeed. This is why we
reproduce the following letter, which
speaks for itself. These people were in
duced to go to Western Canada
through the solicitation of a Canadian
Government agent, who secured for
them the low railway rates.
"Carmangay, Alta, Canada, 12-15-'0S.
"Mr. c. ]. Broughton, Canadian Gov
eminent Agency, 1876 Adams Street,
Chicago: We had audacity enough to
tackle the proposition of buying four
sections of land in Southern Alberta,
thirty miles east of Clairsholm and
heading up on the Little Bow, and our
two boys each got a homestead ad-
joining. We fenced three sections and
the two homesteads, and built a house,
barn, corrals and granary, and have
since enlarged some Of these build
ings. We have broken 200 acres Of
ld1uy WulGu naO ACCu oOMCu W Odlo
and wheat. During the severe winter
Of two years ago the winter wheat
killed out somewhat, and u crop
yielded only ten bushels to the acre,
but the spring wheat went "a bushels
to the acre. In this country we must
be prepared for storms and cold, at
times 20 to 80 below zero, yet on the
whole the winters are mild; and while
there are exceptional crops, it is fair
to say that the average farmer can
depend IN having a yield in average
years of from 20 to rs bushels to the
acre for spring wheat; and winter
wheat in our immediate n~eighborhood
yields from rs to 80 bushels to the
acre on the average.
We have now quite a bunch Of
horses, over so in all, about $50 sheep,
after having sold 40 for mutton this
fall. We have 20 head Of pure bred
registered Shropshire, which are
worth $40 each. The average price
received for mutton sheep was $500
and a little over. Pork brings 5 and
6 cents a'pound. We have about 30
head Of cattle on our ranch now,
and last winter they picked their en-
tire living from our pasture, running
to the straw stacks for shelter at night.
"The increase of land values has
been extraordinary. Our land four
years ago cost us a little less than
$500 an acre. We have sold one Sec
ton for $500, but We would not sell
any more for less than $500 per acre,
as we expect the railroad within four
miles of our ranch within the next IS
months. Southern Alberta of West
ern Canada is a mighty good country
for any or woman wholoves outdoor
life, and who wants to get good re-
turns for their labor and investment.
I'VE have been pleased with our
treatment from the Canadian Govern
ment, and car heartily commend South
ern Alberta as a splendid country in
which to locate.
yours very truly,
i. (Signed)

FALSE MOVE BY GOVERNMENT
Important Question Involves Freedom
of the Press.

Important Question Involves Freedom
of the Press.
1t seems very doubtful whether
congress could, if it wished, create
the crime of libeling the government
as such, and as distinguished from
libel of public officials for which they
may seek personal redress like other
citizens. The constitution says that
congress shall make no law aDridg-
ing freedom of speech or of the press"
Any hostile criticism of governmental
acts would probably be construed as
libelous by the officials responsible
for those acts. And instead OF seek
ing a personal ~vindication it would
doubtless be convenient for such off.
Gals to have the power of the nation
put forth to vindicate them, as Mr..
Roosevelt now seeks to have 1t put
forth for his brother-in-law.
Congress once tried to do this very
thing. By the sedition act of 1898 1t
denounced as a crime ANY false, scan
dalous and malicious writings against
the government of the United States,
or either house of congress, or the
president" But even in that effort,
which lasted only about three years,
came near causing d revolution, and
started the destruction Of the Fed.
eralist party, there vas no attempt
to make the relatives of the president
sacrosanct or to confer upon his per-
sonal friends special exemptions not
enjoyed by other citizens.
In view of the results Of the one
open attempt to Great the crime OF
lese majeste-of constructive treas
on-in this country it is not surpris-
Ing that congress asks under what law
these prosecutions are made, that it
may repeal it. And it is not to be be-
lieved that the courts will sanction
the efforts Of Nj. Roosevelt and Mr..
Bonaparte to make the presidency an
office held by grace of Cod" and
therefore not only above criticism, but
shielding also from criticism all the
personal friends and relatives of its
temporary incumbent. This is not a
monarchy yet.-Chicago Inter Ocean
