M'KEE, KY, Dec. 1.-The most
wonderful mother in the United
States and probably in the world
is Aunt Jane" Morris.
AT the age of eighty-siX she has
51S descendants, nearly all of
whom are living.
But there's quality as we'll as
quantity in her motherhood. Not
one of these children has ever been
accused of crime. and they live in
the mountain district of Kentucky.
You would think that the mayor
of a village of SIS people. where
the laws were never broken, was
quite worthy person. Mrs. Nor
ris is the head of such a model
communicates big family.
And that isn't all. These many
descendants proceed from one
marriage. She remained true to
her husband until his death 20
years ago (six years after their
golden wedding) and did not re-
marry.
Mrs. Morris descendants own
and occupy most of the land of
Jackson county, which lies in the
foothills of the Cumberland noun
tains.

WHY SALVE FAILS
TO CURE ECZEMA

Scientists are now agreed that
the eczema germs are lodged not
in the outer skin or epidermis, but
in the inner skin. Hence, pene-
trating liquid is required, not an
outward salve that clogs the pores.
We recommend to all eczema
patients the standard prescription
Oil of Wintergreen as compound
ed in liquid form known as d. d.
d. Prescription. A trial bottle Of
this ID. D. d. Prescription, at only
25 cents, will instantly relieve the
itch. We have sold and recon-
mended this remedy for years, and
know of wonderful cures from its
use. We recommend it to our pat
ronS.

Uncle Sam in Manchuria.

The United States, which has here
tofore kept it's hands off the situation
in Manchuria and permitted Russia
and Japan to interpret the so-called
open door policy to mean that the door
should be open to them and closed to
all others, is considering the advisa-
bilty of asking that the open door
policy mentioned, be literally con-
strued This means that American
capital desires to enter the Oriental
field more extensively.
The state department has dlscov-
cred that the American trade in the
Orient is being made to suffer sefl-
ously through the policy of Japan and
Russia These two nations arc IN
control of the railroads and are plac-
ing barriers in the way of the trade OF
other nations. 1t is believed by many
of those who have knowledge of the
|eXact situation that the United states
may soon ask for better conditions
there, and falling to receive ihVof-
able response to her request. will de-
liver an ultimatum.
The question which occurs to us is
whether all the trade Of Manchuria is
worth the risk, as serious conse-
ouonces will certainly accompany any
attempt to enforce our demands. We
are giving more attention TO our trade
with Japan than either its volume OF
its value warrant. Our trade with
several of the South American nations
is larger and more valuable TO those
nations. as well as more valuable to
us. than is our trade with Japan. 1t
seems to us that in view of this fact,
American capital seeking an outlet in
foreign lands, could better be devoted
to the development of the resources
and trade with Brizal or Chill or Ar
gentina or any other South American
state.

into the private collections of Amerir
can millionaires. Even that. however.
did not quiet the critics who harped
upon the fact that we had no national
art museum worthy of the name.
We have robbed them of even that
| little comfort. The new national art
gallery at Washington, more beautiful
larchitecturally than any similar in
stitution in the old world and larger
than most of them, has been given to
the public 1t is beautiful granite
structure with 1000 square feet OF
floor space and fitted with every mod
ern appliance for the convenience OF
Its patrons. The paintings which
have already been hung are largely
contributions from private collections.
AS the years go by it will doubtless
outstrip in number of canvases as well
as in quality of the work displayed,
the collections in similar institutions
of the Old World.
1t is a well-known fact that private
collections seldom remain intact after
! the death of the invidiual who assem-
bled them. Thousands of these offer
ings will find their way to the national
gallery. Just at present there is a
large number of American artists who
are producing what good judges say
as the highest type of art. Their best
specimens will in time find their way
to the national gallery, also, so that
eventually it will not be necessary for
an American to go abroad to see the
best. The works of the old masters
will be on this side of the Atlantic as
will also be the best works of the
Younger masters.

Biennial Sessions.

the capital of the Pine Tree State,
says: Rhode Island. one OF the two
states which retains annual elections,
seems disposed to go over to Maine S
admirable biennial system, bill to
that effect having gone through one
house of the Legislature almost
unanimously" The voters of this
state will not need to be told that
Massachusetts is the other common
wealth which has not yet come to
"Maine's admirable biennial system"
We have been long. long, long on the
way and the prospect of achieving
so desirable result is not all that it
ought to be, thanks to the politicians

Ever since the enactment of the pres
ont tariff law we have urged the ne
cessity of awaiting the actual opera
tian of the schedules in that law before
condemnation was passed on it upon
theory. Enough time has gone by row
to permit of little study of results
Of the law. and those who arc interest
ed may begin to form opinions based
upon the facts as to whether the new
Law was all that its promoters hoped
for it, or as bad as it's opponents have

represented it to be. Probably in all
the history of tariff legislation there
has been no time when law has been
so severely condemned and toward
which so much hysteria has been eX-
hibited. Studies Of the schedules made
by those who have taken pains to in
1uire into them and their relation to
the schedules N the Dingley bill, show
that in the new tariff law there were
6o4 decreases, 220 increases and 1,150
items of the dntiaDle list unchanged
The articles IN wnich duties were de-
creased are said % represent $4,000. 000,-
600 worth of consumption value of less
than $1,000, 100000. The theory of the
bill was to increase the tariff on lux
uries and to decrease it. on necessities.
Now that the bill has been in operation
six months. it IS shown that during
that time. II per cent. of ali importa-
tions have been free from; duty.,I In the
meantime the public revenues have
been Increased nearly $50 O000.od0 in the
six months, showing that the PAYNE
law in Snito OF its large free list and
its very numerous decreases in the
tariff rates, is good revenue producer.
