AMERICAN RED CROSS.

THE appeal issued by President
Taft In behalf of the American Red
Cross society, Of which he is presi
dent, is one which should bring about
without delay the result desired AND
$50 urgently needed-the establish
ment Of the American branch on
proper financial basis" says the Kan
sas City Journal" A national en-
dowment fund committee has been
appointed, Of which Secretary Mac
Veagh is chairman, and branches Of
this committee are to be named IN
all the. leading cities. AS has been
pointed out in numerous instances OF
another nature, the endowment prin
ciple is the safest and soundest, il
not indeed the only one that is thor
oughly safe and sound The presi
dent points out that the United States
rises splendidly to great emergencies
for Red Crosa funds, but there are
many equally urgent though smaller
demands which cannot be met Tor
lack Of ready funds or resources IN
hand. The San Francisco earthquake
and fire. the Mess-na disaster and
similar catastrophes which moved the
world to pity an. generosity RESUMED :,
in large contributions from the
American people. But there Is no
available fund upon which to draw
in lesser exigencies, and 1T is to pro.
vide such a fund tn the national
endowment committee has been ap-
pointed.
aThe gener. ] plan is to endeavor
to raise in each city a sum equal

ABUSING OUR PRESIDENTS.

Col. w. II. Crook, who is writing q
series Of articles for the Saturday
Evening Post on the home life Of the
presidents under whom he served IN
the white house executive offices,
makes one observation in his article
concerning President Harrison and his
family which brings out the brutal
side of American politics. Col. Crook
tells of the humiliation suffered by
Mrs. Harrison through the political
attacks made upon her distinguished
husband and OF protesting that we
should be held up to ridicule by news
papers and the president be SO cruelty
attacked, and even his little, helpless
grandchildren be made fun of, for the
country to laugh at. Col Crook adds:
When look back over the past
forty-five years in the white house,
and recall some OF these things, / do
not wonder that many an able, bril-
liant, experienced man refuses to en-.
ter public life in this country, simply
because he will not subject himself
and his family to such misery It is
not for me to say whether any of the
presidents whom I have served paid
serious attention to the wide sweeping
tide of such assaults as I have re-
ferred to, but know that many a
woman, whose husband or son or
father occupied the most exalted posi-
ton in the gift Of the American people,
has grieved and sorrowed as-few other
women have been called upon to do.
And the wife Of President Harrison
was no exception to the general rule.
often have wondered whether the
men who sit in their editorial rooms
1--we hundred, a thousand, three thou
sand miles away--framing up attacks,
or devising ndicule and insinuation.
have any idea of the merciless way
their barbed arrows sink into the
hearts and souls not merely Of men
whom the people have chosen to repre-
sent them-and who try to represent
them fairly and honestly-but also
pierce the hearts of loving, tender,
defenseless daughters, wives and
mothers, young and old.
Any man In public Office, be he presi.
dent or street sweeper, is open to fair
criticism and honest censure when he
does wrong, or deals unjustly, or is
neglectful of the trust placed in him.
But I maintain that it is cowardly,
wicked, cruel, for considerabl sec
ton Of the press of this free country
to drag into their net for public ex-
saults as have been all too frequent;
to drag into their net for publiv ex-
ploitation and ridicule the women and
children OF the presidents family, and
to show utter disregard of the COM
mon decencies OF life.
The assaults against men in public
life come from wing of the yellow
press and magazines who seemingly
are not happy unless they are over
stepping the bounds of common
decency. Publications Of this char
acter do not WELD much influence, as,
the great bulk Of the American peo-
pie are not in sympathy with their
brutal assaults. But the tragic deaths
OF three Of our great presidents at the
hands Of weak minded men who were
Influenced by the clamorings Of the
yellow press, show the dangerous pos
sibilities when the privileges of free
press are abused

HILL TALKS OF THE
CONDITIONS IN west

New York, Jan. 25.-James J. Hill,
who had just returned to New York
after trip through the northwest.
said today that the movement Of
farm products in that section of the
country promised to be steady and
substantial right along. Speaking of
general conditions, he had this to
say:
"Western banks are loaned up very
closely, but still there is plenty of
money. The only menace is a tend
ency to invest beyond the capital
available. IL that happens the gov
eminent cannot help. Considerable
capital is sunk in new land, espec-
tally in Canada.
Montana is being developed rapid
ly as an, agricultural state. 1t has q
larger grain acreage than Illinois,
and on the average Is the best wheat
yield country. Traffic is moving free
~ throughout the northwest, and all
business is good everywhere. The
condition of the soil is better than
usual.
1.-THE Great Northern is in fine
condition. It runs transcontinental
mail trains through on an average
running time of forty-eight hours,
which has never been duplicated on
any other long haul in the world"

HOGS AS SIDE
ISSUE net $3.50

Braddock News: During 1909,
August Benz, a well-known farmer
rancher living a few miles west of
Braddock, sold $3.50 worth of hogs,
the same being raised as sort OF
experimental side issue. In the
words of Mr.. Benz, it costs him but
little more to raise hog than 1t
costs him to raise hen. When the
grass starts In the spring the young
pigs 20 out into the hog pasture;
they get the skinned mix and the
refuse from the kitchen, along with
their grass diet. When the corn
stocks arerlarge enough to cut, guam
titles are THROWN into their pasture
as the grasssbegins to fail sby that
time. From then on until they are
ready to ship they are corn fed hogs
and they demand the price of such
on the market at South St. Paul,
Chicago or Sioux City. The corn is
cut and fed through it's different
stages until it "hardens" or ma
lures when the hogs are turned into
the field, where by cutting, husking
and Smelling the grain they complete
their preparatory course for the
eastern packing house. Before the
corn is broken down by the market
hogs enough is husked from the
field to tide the brood; sows over
winter. Whilathe method is waste
full in a measure, it is far superior
to exclusive stock raising or, exclus-
i've grain growing. It. need not 2ec-
essarily interfere with either and it
materially benefits both, and espec-
tally the latter. 1t is a fact that all.
do or should know that we cannot
for all time continue to grow wheat
on our land without summerfallow"
ing or practicing rotation-and the
growing of crop Of corn leaves the
soil in splendid condition for wheat
or other small grain, the nourish-
ment required for the production of
the two crops being apparently diff
ferent, and the cultivating of the
soil and keeping it free from weeds
being better than summer following.

beldhing of undigested food mixed
with acid, NO stomach gas or heart
burn, fullness or heavy feeling in the

aches, dizziness or intestinal gripping.
This will all s., sand, besides, there
will be no sour food left over in the
stomach to poison your breath with

Dr.. Haie's Day.

DR.. Hale and the late Bishop Hunt
:ngton Of New York were fast friends.
The latter had been Unitarian. and
his shift caused sensation, says the
Christian Register. The Episcopalians
have saints assigned to the various
days in the year. When an Episco-
palian minister writes a letter on any
day for which there is saint be al.
ways writes the name Of the saint at
the close Of the letter instead Of the
date. Bishop Huntington learned all
these things quickly and began to prac.
tice them at once. The first time he
had occasion to write to his old friend
DR.. Hale after joining the church he
placed "St. Michael's day" after bis
signature. A reply from the doctor
came, and after his name he had writ.

GOVERNMENT RETURN ENEEL-
OPES.

Representative Tom Velle Of Ohio
has introduced bill in congress to
do away with the government print
ing of return cards or stamped en-
velopes.
This printing is done at less than
cost be the government, and is in
competition with the work of thous-
ands of printing establishments
through the country.
There is no more reason that tho
government should engage in the
printing business than that it should
engage in any other line of indus
try, where at a loss to itself it COM
petes with private business institu-
tons.
Representative Tom Velle's bill is
as follows:
Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Con-
gress assembled:
That from and after the approval
of this act it shall be unlawful for
the Postofice Department, or any

PUTTING LIFE INTO THE PLAT
FORM.

Chicago Record.Herald: For de-
cades party platforms have been
jokes. Only in times of great ma
tional turmoil such as the struggle
over slavery or over the gold stand
ard have the platforms really indi-
Gated party purposes. At other
times the platform pledges have been
so nearly disregarded that only new
corners in politics or naive visitors
from abroad have paid much atten-
tion to them
And now in this age of irreverence
and neglect we have a president who
suddenly stiffens his backbone, takes
the party platform in his hand and
says, Here is the test of party 10y
atty" The transformation scene is
astounding.
On the instant our politics gets
new dignity and new value From
Tammanyism we rise to something
akin to craftsmanship. From a
quarrel between Individuals whose
hackers are for the most part con-
cealed We rise to a real deliberation
over issues Conservation laws, rail-
way control legislation, the postal
savings bank and statehood for the
two remaining territories in the
southwest come to the front and get
the center of attention formerly
monopolized by Cannon, the whip
and the insurgents. Whats the
platform between friends?". can no
more be winkingly asked.
If President. Taft can re-establish
the platform as the serious basis of
presidential elections and of post
election policies, he will have accom-
plished feat which alone would
suffice to give him lasting fame.

TO Investigate
c. P. R. DISASTER

Sudbury, Ont, Jan. 25. - Coroner
HOWE Of Sudbury began an inquest
into the, canadian Pacific passenger
train wreck at Spanish river today.
His action was taken despite the fact
that the jury impannelled by Coroner
oJnes of Webbood had already re.
turned a perfunctory verdict stating
that the cause of the accident was
unknown
Jones is employed by the railroad
company and it is therefore alleged
that he was not qualified to act: The
crown attorney of Sudbury district
will also take a hand in the inyesti-
cation.
That the railroad officials expect to
find more bodies in the river is indi-
Gated by the fact that fresh supply
of rough boxes went from here to
Spanish river.
The record of death now stands at
thirty-nine.
